[Vision2020] Another question, V-Peeps . . .

[Ron Force]

Maybe connected to the Washburn-Wilson Seed Company? It was one of the biggest seed Cos in the US, went bankrupt in 1960, bought out by another co which went bankrupt, then bought by Dumas. The factory was at 103 N Almon, now being dismantled. I couldn't find the history of the company, but did find a marriage of a Washburn to a Wilson in the early oughts who operated the company. Maybe a local historian knows more.

  Instead of the "Vandals" maybe the UI should have been known as the "Pea-Pickers"?

Are any of you fine V-Peeps familiar with, aware of, a family by the name of Washburn that may have "migrated" to Moscow from Milton, Iowa some time around 1902?



This auction may be a bit more spendy', but what the hey.  These are two original 7"x9" photos taken in 1902.  It would shock the heck out of the Moscow Washburns, Huh?


Seeya 'round town, Moscow, because . . .
