This continues a series adapted from the book, “A Port Oneida Collection,” Volume 1 of the twopart set, “Oral History, Photographs, and Maps from the Sleeping Bear Region,” produced by Tom Van Zoeren in partnership with Preserve Historic Sleeping Bear. Here we continue with a look at the old Frederick & Margretha Werner Farm at the end of Miller Road:
“Of course, you didn’t have a whole lot of time for play when you grow up on the farm,” but the Miller children “always seemed to have an hour or two in the afternoon to just be kids” -- Mary Lou (Miller) Stuber.
In summertime, Mary Lou’s brother Charlie would trade his sled for something more lively: “I used to like to ride the pigs . . . I used to ride them all. I would ride the cows home, too, sometimes— ride ‘em home once they got all lined up and ready to go.”
