Grandpa's New Tractor: 1936
My grandpa bought this Hart Parr 18-27 tractor from the Oliver Corporation in 1936. He also became an Oliver dealer at that time. This photo was taken at the factory as he was picking it up. The man leaning against the truck is "Shockey" Mishler.
My grandpa was a member of the Old Order River Brethren, also known as Yorkers. View full size.
Shockey Mishler
Shockey was married to Nellie, who ran a cafe in Minburn, Iowa. According to the 1930 census, they had 7 kids. I know they had more because my mom remembers Bob, who was her age, born in 1934.
