Winter Snowstorm on the Ryan Farm

Primary tabs

Sue and Ruth Ann Ryan negotiate gigantic snowdrifts after a snowstorm on their farm in Sheridan Township, Poweshiek County, Iowa, about 1950. The family took a sled across country to the Sheridan store to buy groceries as all of the roads were blocked. The snow was so deep that one could walk over the fences.
