HARD WORK HELPERS
Floyd and father Henry Van Syckle show off the horses and oxen they used on their farm northwest of Barryton, probably in the early 1900's. The team and wagon at bottom left and the horse and oxen plowing at bottom right are unidentified, although the latter may have come from the Carlson farm in Mecosta Township. (Pioneer file photos)
