This undated family photo was taken at the Virgil Wright farm in Monroe Township, Madison County, Indiana, just north of Alexandria.  Estimated date is 1945-46, based on the age of Terry Wright.

This farmhouse was where I grew up and I recognize the driveway and the tree on the right side.  The fencing is gone, the tree across the road are gone as well.
