Zepp farm
This turn-of-the-19th century photograph shows David Helwig’s Frick Steam Engine and his thresher being used on a farm in the Murkle Road area. Helwig used his equipment to thresh other farmers’ crops as was common during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Local farmers always came to help each other. From left to right are pictured David Helwig, Nathaniel Zepp, and other farmers (unknown) from the neighboring area.
