Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph, from left to right, of H. H. West, Jr., Abraham Whitaker, Forrest Whitaker, Mertie West and Agnes Whitaker posing in front of a broken down windmill at the Morgan place in Rosamond. Abraham Whitaker, Forrest Whitaker, Mertie West and Agnes Whitaker stand in a row at center in front of the wooden body of the windmill. All look to the camera. H. H. West, Jr. stands behind them on components of the mill. He stands atop a plank that hovers above the ground and reaches over his head to pull on a large wooden lever. The windmill's vane lies, fallen to the ground, at right, behind Agnes Whitaker. The rather barren landscape stretches behind the group. A privy stands in the far distance at left. Text from negative sleeve: 835. Rosamond, Calif. About 1927. We drove up to Rosamond to look at the Morgan place. All there was on the place was the windmill and privy. At the windmill. Left to right: H.H.West,Jr. A.Whitaker. Forrest Whitaker. Mertie West. Agnes Whitaker. The lone privy. 2 negatives.
