First house at Gibson

was on the property. The picture shows my great-great grandparents and
their children.

Schmidt McKinnon and Tom McKinnon.
Front row l-r: Catherine, Lizzie, Lena and Charles
McKinnon.
The two standing back by the fence were not identified.
Second house at Gibson
Ranch When Thomas McKinnon left
the ranch in 1940's a family by the name of McDonald bought the place and
remodeled the house, this is the picture taken when it was finished.
Unfortunately neither house survives today.
Four Boys This picture shows four boys from Elverta
that joined the Army in WWI. Unfortunately the only one identified is Charles
McKinnon, son of Thomas and Berentje McKinnon.
Family Members 1920 This picture was taken in the 1920s. It shows from left to
right: Pete, Violet Konitzer and their father
Frank. (They were big ranchers in Yolo County and owned considerable land
just north of Mace Blvd. They were connected to the McKinnon’s
through marriage by Frank's wife and Thomas' mother.) The others are Lena,
Thomas and Lizzie McKinnon.
Old Well This is the old well on the
Gibson Ranch. Haven't been there in a while, but think it is still
there. Thomas and Berentje McKinnon
are standing there.
Old Wash House Picture taken in the early 1920s. It shows the old
wash house on the Gibson Ranch. In front are my aunts, June and Helen
Schultz.
Farmers In Elverta This picture was taken at the Gibson Ranch, not sure the date, but
sometime in the 1920s. All farmers in the Elverta
area picture l - r (including those
standing slightly behind) Frank Lacey, Tom McKinnon, Jr., Charles McKinnon, Jim
Keithley, Will Keithley,
Gus Lindron and Thomas McKinnon, Sr.
Fallen Tree This shows the huge oak tree by
the sheds that blew down in the 1938 windstorm. Standing looking at the
damage is my grandfather, J. W. Schultz.
Threshing Machine Here are two pictures one of the men on the threshing machine. Don't know who the people are on the machine, Grandpa McKinnon always hired someone to do his threshing.

Turkey's On The Ranch Here is a picture of the turkeys my Grandpa McKinnon raised at one time on the ranch. Must have been early on when he had the ranch because my Dad who was born in 1925 didn't remember turkeys.
