This old photo is 6-1/2" x 4-1/2" mounted on 8" x 10" black cardboard. I have are two of these. This house must have been significant to someone in my family. The corner door makes it somewhat unique. Mom thought that this house belonged to George Lee in Harvard, Nebraska. She wasn't sure. She came into possession of this along with many other old photos that were left with her Mom, those things all coming from my Grandma's Mom, her Grandma or other family members.
Mom passed away and now I have these old photos and it's up to me to remember what I was told about them and to pass on the details. I only hope my memory is good enough. Each generation loses a little information, like a game of telephone. I may be the last generation to hold onto these old photos.
George W Lee was the brother of my Great-Great Grandmother, Sarah (Lee) Negley. George Lee's family lived in Harvard and Sarah's family lived not far away in Eldorado, Nebraska. George's family consisted of his wife, Christine (Berkstresser), children Kitty, John and George. A son, Lewis died in infancy. George was a farmer and later a stockman, buying and shipping horses and mules to the southern markets. This old house would suit a stockman.
