The Uhlman Family of Cross Plains, Indiana

Pictures of Uhlman's Feed Mill, Cross Plains, Indiana, Circa 1950's.

This was a lot of feed back in the day.

John Uhlman sold Aubrey's Red A Quality Feeds.

Aubrey Feed Mills, Inc., Louisville, Kentucky, operated 1945-1966 until Pilgrim purchased Aubrey Feed Mills.

This is a great piece of local history to Cross Plains, Indiana and also Louisville, Kentucky.

This photo shows the Woodland Cemetery in Dayton, Ohio, where well-dressed men and women have gathered for a picnic lunch at their respective family plots.

In the Victorian era, picnicking in cemeteries was commonplace. Neighborhood parks were not prevalent at this time and it was thought to be a way to stay connected to deceased loved ones.

This is the back door to the little blue house on the West side of 129, across the street and to the right from the post office (as you are looking across the street from the post office), Cross Plains, Indiana.

Dad, Bill Uhlman, and I were going through old photographs and this is the story he told about this picture.

His dog Tippy Toe came up missing. His father John Uhlman, who owned a blacksmith shop near by, offered a $10.00 reward for the return of the dog; which was a lot of money in 1933. Two days after the dog went missing and the reward offered; the dog was returned by Mr. George Baxter.

No wonder dad is smiling so big in this picture after the return of his dog.
