Approximately 1920 photo - This great photo of a Bashaw farm was provided by Cheryl Bashaw Tilly who traces back to Frank Bashaw (Pictured above in Bashaw Family Photo). The photo is Frank's wife Delina Miner.

Cheryl offers the following on her Great Grandfather Frank Bashaw; "He worked in the production of charcoal - had an accident and fell into one of the charcoal pits. His legs got badly burned and they had to amputate them just above the knees. He wore wooden legs with straps and could walk only using crutches."
