This building is being moved east on Port Sheldon past Vollink Bros. Store, and it ended up at the Borculo Church.
The threshing rig of Albert Bosch, who is standing in front of his steam engine.  The picture appears to have been taken at his farm as well.
This is Albert Bosch's sawmill rig I think.  The men in the background are left to right:  John TenBroeke, Gerrit TenBroeke, Henry Wesseldijk, Joe Wesseldijk, Albert Bosch, Ben Groenhof.  The boy in the front is Henry Geurink.  The women left to right are:  Minnie (Wesseldijk) Bosch, Cecilia Bos, Catherine Bos, Alena Bosch, Ruth Bos, Louise Gahan, Catherine Bosch, Dorothy Geurink.
L to R
1st Row:  Annie Lamer, Annie Machiela, Nancy Lamer, Sena Blauwkamp(Walters), Minnie Olminhof
2nd Row:  Mary Elenbaas (Van Draght), Lyda De Koster (Harbers), Mary Boerman (Klanderman)

I remember Minnie Olminhof in the 1940's.  At that time I am guessing she was in her 60's.  Judging her picture here to have her in her 20's, I am guessing this photo to have been taken around 1900.  Can anyone be more exact than that? Email me

Jeff Machiele wrote on 4/15/07, "Annie Machiela married in Feb 1909, so, since a married name is not listed, I'd put this picture no later than 1908, but still no earlier than 1905 when she was 16." Thanks Jeff.

Early 1900's.  Picture of Marinus, Richard, and John Talsma (r to l) on their farm 2 1/2 miles north of Borculo.  Notice their footwear.  The house in the background on the left was owned by Vander Kooi at sometime in the first 40 years of 1900's.

See picture of their house

Same barn as immediately above, Richard Talsma stands with the horses.
