1. Hay Rake and Grass Mower Marker
The rake and the mower are both implements used in harvesting hay. It was an advancement in the livestock industry when they came out with the mechanized equipment because a man could cut and store more hay than he could cut by hand.
The rake was pulled by a horse or a team or horses, and the mower was pulled by a team. Hay was cut with the mower. Then after drying it was raked into piles, hauled and stored.
The mower comes from Barclay, Nevada, and was donated by the Family or Orilla Woods Hafen, daughter of Elizabeth Terry Woods.
Three of the Thomas Sirls Terry children married three of Lyman Woods children. Their courting was done by riding twenty miles over the Panaca Summit to Barclay, Nevada.
