17. Sam Kistler's Farm

Oh, I like this photo, despite not having any idea who the Kistlers are. A brief glimpse of farm-life at the turn of the century. A pig and a chicken in the foreground. The young girl in the center-front holds a cat, and neither of them stay still quite long enough to keep in focus. And the lady in the back "poses" as if to feed the chickens.

Samuel Kistler was a cousin of Grammy's, I've forgotten exactly what branch. They kept in touch, he and his family used to visit Grammy and Grandpa now and then. Sam became a minister, and had a powerful, booming voice. But he looked VERY Jewish, and as a kid I just couldn't figure out how he could be related and be a Christian minister. I think the boy in center back is Sam. His father most likely was named Samuel too.
