Kick off

The photos in this blog capture a piece of Leona Valley history from 1913 till about 1930 and are from various Hall family members. In 1913 my grandfather Frank D Hall bought the 3000 acre St. Anthony Ranch, the valley was then known as Leonis. He changed the name of the ranch to Leona Valley Ranch and set about building a dairy farm, but things didn't work out so well. My dad, also Cliff, grew up on the ranch.
The Leona Valley Town Council has a history document here:

Would appreciate any comments you wish to share about a photo or any details you know about it.
For now I will leave comments open to anyone without spam prevention features turned on, if spam becomes a problem I will change the settings.

Horse Barn and farm implements

In the middle of the photo is a horse drawn reaper.  Can see cutter bar raised at angle to left, could be used to cut milo maize.
Might have been pulled by a tractor also.
