Glimpse into Murdock History

Continuing with our new series to the weekly news.

During the 1950s Pastor Heim would document his home visits with parishioners by taking a photo. These are no ordinary photos, but COLOR photographs. In the 1950s this was almost unheard of then. It was cutting edge "technology". Thank you to Ramona Oehlerking for the video/images.

Since harvest is now over we are going to shift gears on our historical photos and move indoors. Here is Meta Neben in front of her piano. I wonder if it's still around and if anyone still plays this beauty anymore?
