Yes, the photo is from Butcher’s collection.
If you come to the trade fair presentation, you will have a chance to see some of his best windmill photos and win a few prizes.

Re: IXL
Sometimes the sod houses were pretty fancy, fine furniture, even organs and fancy oil hanging lamps. Seen a lot of pics you would never guess were a sod house or dug out, of course people bought nice things in hopes of moving them to a better house sooner or later.
I wouldn't be too shocked if that picture isn't a widow and her daughter. A two wheeled cart cost almost as much as buggy but wasn't very practical for a farm family. Single ladies did like them though as they were easy for them to get out and handle.
I was looking at some records in the court house last week, I saw an amazing number of widows and even single ladies on home stead patents. Tough gals!

Re: IXL
You have given me great encouragement as my presentation is more about the complete photo, not just the windmills.
I’m hoping to inspire people to speak up about what they see in the photos.
However, to quote my mentor, “There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.” I have given you incomplete data as I only posted part of the photo.
Here is the rest of the photo: Any more observations?
Again, quoting Mr. Homes, “We balance probabilities and choose the most likely. It is the scientific use of the imagination.”

Interesting, in all my years of collecting, I have probably picked up over 100 rotted down buggys and only 1 two wheeled cart. Looking at an old catalog, I see the cart cost $16 and a buggy could be bought for $22 at one time so it wasn't much bang for your buck with a cart. I like that house, its a great picture.

Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number. IF YOU TALK TO HIM, AND HE HELPS YOU, THEN BUY FROM HIM. IT CREATES GOOD KARMA.
