Totem Pole ...and the rest of the story

In July of 2013 I posted a photo of me carving a totem pole and the story of Indian Pete being discovered after theft from vandals.  Below is the rest of the story!

WWI - Joseph Barhorst

I posted these WWI photos four years ago and then posted a couple photos of bothers, Charles and Joseph Barhorst, just last month. This copy of that photo from four years ago identifies Jospeh in the WWI picture.

About Me

My Name is Harry Boerger and I currently reside in Leesburg, Florida. 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. Finally, if you would like to send me a message about my pictures or purchase CD's of all my pictures, please contact me at mrpopeye2015@gmail.com or (352) 365-6003
