1909 Genesee Farmer’s Union

According to Lillian Otness in her book, A Great Good Country, the large grain elevators on present day Main Street Genesee “were built by the Genesee Farmer’s Union and are operated by the Genesee Union Warehouse Company, the largest business in town”.

Next week look for our post on the local Civilian Conservation Corps, postponed this week due to our new arrival (see above photo).
