Tony's Place

One of the Ft. Loramie businesses mentioned in yesterday's post was Tony's Place. Today Tony's Place is known at Al's Place. Below are several pictures from those days.

Harry,

My name is Theresa (Barhorst) Hoying. Daughter of Nicholas and Anne Barhorst. Irenus is my grandpa and Tony is my Great Grandpa. I have never seen these photos prior to now. Do you know who the contact may be for these photos so I could possibly scan and print them for my dad?

Thank you,
Theresa (Barhorst) Hoying

About Me

My Name is Harry Boerger and I was born on March 15, 1938 in a farm house near Ft. Loramie, Ohio. My parents were Albert G. and Catherine E. "Katy" Barhorst, Boerger. This farm is located at the corner of Boerger & Cardo Roads, Cynthian Twp., Shelby County, Ohio (about 1/2 way between Willowdell & Newport). My parents were farmers, good hard-working Roman Catholics, both were of German Heritage.

As most families during the depression, we also, didn't have a lot of worldly possessions but did get by with God's help. As I became a little older, about 12 or so, the war was over and the economy was apparently picking up. That is when I first found out about auctions. What I found was mostly junk, but there were a lot of old photos. Well today, some 60 years later, I still have most of those old photos and am placing them on this blog for all to see.

I hope that you enjoy my work. If you would like to read more about me, click here. I would also like to thank several people that have made this all possible, click here.
