Harry Kinley Collection
Description: People posing in front of a steam threshing machine and a water wagon. Based on the photograph description the machine belonged to "The Leader" line of steam machines. Leader equipment was produced by The Marion Manufacturing Company, one of the two early steam engine companies based in Marion, Ohio, in the 1880s. Photograph by Harry Evan Kinley (1882-1969), a native of Upper Sandusky. Kinley was active in local events and organizations, and spent his professional career as a clerk at his father's department store, and later as a travelling salesman for the Marion Paper & Supply Company (1934-1962). He was also an avid lifelong photographer, and the bulk of the Harry Kinley Collection is comprised of glass plate negatives documenting the Kinley family, the city of Upper Sandusky and Wyandot County and surrounding areas.
