Photo of a threshing gang, likely from the early 20th century. Mrs. Isabella Eldrige, the wife of John Eldridge, mother of Robert Eldridge, and grandmother of Marjorie Elridge, is pictured standing in a long sleeved dress on the right. Threshing parties traveled from farm to farm within a community during harvest season because the task was so labour and resource intensive. This photo shows three separate teams of draft horses pulling hay carts, with the roof of a farmhouse just visible in the background.
