Editor’s Note: The header image for this site is a composite of the two images shown below. Both photos were taken in 1887.
This is a photo of the George Rockenbach farm on Saunders Road. Those pictured are, from left to right: George Rockenbach III, Preston Rockenbach (sitting), Samuel Rockenbach (on horse) , Orman Rockenbach (standing by wagon), and Almon Rockenbach.

This photo is also of the George Rockenbach farm, likely taken at the same time as the photo above. Those pictured are, from left to right: Sarah Ott (sitting), and her daughters Ella Rockenbach, Irene Rockenbach (sitting), Viola Rockenbach, and Adelaide “Addie” Rockenbach.
