I am sorting thru over 5,000 Grain Receipts that date from 1916 -1922. It's interesting to see how much was brought in by the farmers and their names.

This is an invoice from a supplier.

This past weekend, I decided to review some documents that have some connections to both my wife's and mine that I didn't realize were so closely related. In rereviewing them, there is a good chance that both of our grandparents may have known each other.
First, I came across grain receipts from grain that was brought in from their farms to the Grainery. These receipts were taken to the building that I purchased, D. L. Leas Mercantile. D. L. Leas then wrote checks to them for the grain.

Look closely at the dates and check numbers.
