This is an interesting piece about corn farming. It is nice to find information about a family member, that is not in an obituary. William was giving some farming advice. We had many farmers in our family & I'm sure they could have given many useful farming tips.
William Henry Harrison Brumfield
19 Jul 1840 MS – 22 Jun 1931 MS
Son of Isaac Brumfield & Elizabeth Holmes
Husband of Catherine Conerly
We received a pleasant and appreciated call from Mr. William H. H. Brumfield a progressive planter residing north of Walker’s bridge, east of the river, on Saturday last. Mr. B., says that some of his neighbors are through planting corn; but that he is not yet done. He believes in going a little slow at first, particularly in cold weather, and he always more than makes up in the outcome. He has plenty of old corn in his crib yet, which is proof of his late system.
