Upton Myers Farm

This is the Upton Harvey and Alice Motter Myers farm, circa 1920, on Stone Road, farmed by the family from 1906 to 1940.

Myers was a huckster. He gathered eggs, poultry, and vegetables from local farms and loaded them onto the train. Then he hired a team of horses in Baltimore, met the train, and sold his wares door-to-door. When they got home, he and his son Ernest ate mush, corn meal, and cooked all day.
