Haying The Old Way Four generations of the Ticknor family take a break while doing some old-fashioned haying at the Ticknor centennial farm located on Stone School Road, near Packard Road. The family used an old hay loader which they are standing by and a tractor to do the work which is now normally done by a hay baler. The work used to be called "putting up the hay" and included the use of pitchforks. It's now called hay baling. From left are Donald Ticknor Sr., his son, Donald Ticknor Jr., the latter's sons Carl D. Ticknor and Dennis D. Ticknor and Carl's son, Brian. (News Photo by Larry E. Wright).

Land clearance as seen in the above aerial photo, is the first step toward the future Joseph F. Buhr Memorial Park in Pittsfield township. The 54-acre plot of land has been cleared of trash and brush, has been plowed and, next year, will be planted in wheat to keep the land in good condition until park and playground development begins in the distant future. The land is part of the Robert Campbell farm. The barn is clearly visible. The sire has a 964-foot frontage on Packard Rd. and extends back one-half mile. The monetary gift for the property was donated by the Buhr Machine & Tool Co. here and the R & B Tool Co. of Saline. The park is to be in the memory of the late founder of Buhr Machine & Tool Co.
