A 20 gauge White Powder Wonder shotgun once used at the River Ridge Farm.  Once used by the farm manager John Hanna

who then gave the gun to a young Albert Grandelis, the father of my wife, Suzanne Grandelis Passauer.  As of 2011, the gun is now in the possession of Suzanne.

 

 

The gun was manufactured sometime after 1913 by one of four companies for Sears Roebuck.

 

The initials of John A. Hanna printed on the left side of the gun stock.

 

          I grew up on the hill, and lived in the [River Ridge Farm] Franklin Gate House in the 70's. My parents actually rented the home from Price Real Estate. It was a wonderful place to grow up as a young boy, lots of woods. I found the [milk] bottle along with one more just like it by luck walking in the woods. I am almost 50 yrs, I often think of the wonderful woods and Blueberry Hill, The Point, Caves, Ponds, and is a magical place.  In His Service, Randy A. Winters (3/6/2010)
