Having purchased the Centennial Farm of the late Louis and Ethel Steakley, including all the personal property from the farm house, attic and outbuildings and with future plans we have commissioned Art Smith Auctioneers to conduct a Live Public Auction. We would like to take this opportunity to invite everyone to the Auction and thank you in advance for your time, consideration and support.
Very best regards, David and Anna Ruth Brenneman
NOTE: The farm had been in the Steakley family since 1881. Many items from past generations stored in the attic and outbuildings. There will be many surprises as there are dozens of boxes packed away full of antiques and collectibles. Do to religious considerations of the owners, there will be no photos of the items to be sold. You will just have to come out and see for yourself! Everything is in “AS FOUND” condition.
