The house in the foreground is the old parsonage. The Stone church was right inside the cemetery. I remember the arch of the door still standing when I was in grade school. One winter we would climb up it and jump off it into the deep snow. It kept us boys out of trouble as Sister would watch.

The threshing is of my Dad's (Tony Schiwal) machine. He did custom threshing with our own machine.
