Hunting at the Edwards homestead,
early 1910
My grandmother, Delania Edwards
Adamson, with her brothers and
neighbors at the Edwards homestead,
which is now the Ford family ranch. It's
good to see girls hunted, too!

Great fishing day, 1974
Emil "Buddy" Drozd and
Charlie "Chief" Drozd decided
to try their luck fishing.
The day turned successful
with the fishermen landing
flathead catfish weighing
51, 37 and 33 pounds
respectfully. Buddy and
Chief were lifelong anglers
in Genoa.
– Ed Drozd, Genoa
