Here,

just on the outskirts of the small,

central-eastern Washington town of Almira,

on Old Coulee Road,

stands a new metal post with old weathered wooden signs

pointing the way to a number of farms and ranches,

such as Earl Heathman, John Heathman, Scott Heathman,

Mike Edwards, Bill Edwards, Joe Schrock,

Willis Schrock and more.

Some now virtually unreadable.

Seeing a number of multiples of the same surname

makes me wonder if a larger farm or homestead

was split up between sons of

the next generation.

  1. What a great find. Love the ideas of families building on/near the same land. Oh how we adore Eastern WA and the treasures that are there. I still prefer living on the wet side (well some years is it wet) but love to explore the eastern side. The fires there are the saddest thing – burning near Palouse Falls is so scary – and the town being evacuated – my heart goes out to those involved.
