Best Wishes for a Merry Christmas
Jimmie, Mildred and Jamie
We have a bonus with this one.
Franklin Herefords Slater MO
That must be little Jamie in the truck! I bet his last name is Franklin.
That looks to me like a 1947 Two Ton Truck…but I am no expert on vehicles. It looks like a well used truck so this photo was most likely taken in the 1950’s sometime. He has been hunting.
Thanks for stopping by.
Update from Iggy:
James L(eroy?) Franklin (February 23, 1920 - September 27, 2001) and Mildred A. Franklin (September 3, 1914 - June 26, 2008) owned the Franklin Polled Hereford Farm outside of Slater, Missourri.
Their son, also "Jim," apparently still lives there.
The truck is indeed a a 1947-1955 era Chevrolet "Grain Truck". The back actually hinged like a dump truck.

DeleteI think I located Jim's address. I am mailing off a copy of the blog post today and we will see what happens next.
