Ben Franklin Searl in buggy
Submitted by Dorrie Simon
My grandmother was Ben & Mary (Long) Searl's daughter Ada, one of the twins -
my g-grandfather Ben Searl on his farm in section
10, Selby township. It's kind of a great photo of "Americana" if you ask
me. I particularly like the little white dog who is sitting in the front
watching him. That little white dog appears in several family photos, and
seemed to have no fear of the horses. I do have quite a few photos of
people in his bio, including a photo of Ben & Mary (Long) Searl with ALL his
children (and one with all the grandchildren) at their 50th Wedding
Anniversary.
