May 27 - June 2, 1948

Schurter cousins in the 50s??

My sister is holding me on the left side so my guess would be 1957 or 58? Any family members have the exact year. I won't name the non-Schurter Witzig in the photo but that might help date this picture. Also, not sure where it was taken. Help?

May 27: "Went to farm early. Got disk home from timber, changed steel wheels on tractor to rubber. Finished planting corn before dinner. Made fence all afternoon. Came home after supper. We need rain bad. Took Mom Schurter to Pekin for glasses in their car."
