Hard times in rural southern Illinois has been the rule now for far too long. I don't know the specifics but this appears to be another small farm attempt that didn't get very far.

Farmers deserve the highest respect a close second to military, just my opinion. PS I am not a farmer.

From the style etc that house could be pre WW I, maybe by a lot of years. It has probably been a viable farm for generations.

I am from Western Kentucky and farmers don't often tear down and replace houses that still provide shelter etc. They have more important uses for any money they have. My Grandparent's farm house was built before the Civil War, (to replace a much added onto cabin built in 1791) then partly burned in a kitchen/heating stove fire and rebuilt just after the war and then remodeled about the turn of the century and again in the late 20's and then after she sold the farm in the 60's the new owners added on, put on some brick facing, new storm windows etc - a general modernization. I can still see it on Google maps through Street View if I want to. The big trees that were showing age when I was a kid in the 50's are gone but the little ones that edged the yard are now big and shade the house. And there are older farm houses in the area, still in use, some as the main house, some as something else with the "New" house next to it. The next farm over the old house became storage and a hen house with nesting boxes etc until age and termites did it in. The "New" house was built about 1950.

Nice image. With the price of land and machinery, small farms are unfortunately fast becoming a thing of the past.

The flag is hung the wrong way. The stars should be on the left when you look at it.

Right you are.
I guess no one else thought it was important.

Ballard County right at the Ohio-Mississippi junction - mailing address was a Barlow rural route - aprx 6 or 7 miles in a straight line from the house to the river junction.

Hey, they put up the flag - the nit picking of the way it is oriented doesn't even register with most people unless it is upside down.

Look at pictures of troops in uniform/esp combat uniform, when on the right shoulder the blue field is on the viewer's right also.

Wickliffe. There's a guy down there -- Mike Prince -- who has a BBQ shack on the side of the road (51). I always cross the river for lunch if I'm in the area.

It is not nitpicking. That's a fact. You don't like it....tough.Search Results

When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag's own right, that is, to the observer's left. When displayed in a window, the American flag should be displayed in the same way, with the union or blue field to the left of the observer in the street.
