- Description
- Rose and Robert Shillum bought the 100 acre dairy farm on the Back Concession (now 3133 Burnhamthorpe Rd. West), Palermo, from Fred Edwards and moved their family from Toronto in 1950. There, on "Rosemar Farms", they raised their three boys, Bob, Wayne and Brian. Robert Sr. was a sales representative for a paint company called Berry Brothers. His territory was Ontario. He continued this work even after purchasing the farm.
This photograph shows the two heavy work horses, named Frank and Laudie, who provided the power for the first three years of the farm. On the right is Mrs. Taylor, who was the babysitter of the boys from Toronto. The youngest brother, Brian, is standing in front of her. Wayne Shillum is between the horses and Bill Taylor, the son of Mrs. Taylor is to the left.
Wayne includes photographs of the farm work with detailed descriptions of haying, making sheaves, stooking, putting the hay into the hay mow of the barn and more in his book. (See "Notes" for the book citation.)
