Clinton Hadsell’s mother Jane raised chickens and had a henhouse. Located behind her house on east Main Street, it was her pride and joy. She enjoyed fresh eggs for cooking, and to sell. Clinton lived across the street from his mother, and this photograph may show her chickens - or possibly taken in his backyard. See Clinton Hadsell photograph #094 B.
