Barker Selman

On Saturday, Terry (Justin's mom) asked Justin if he wanted Grandpa Barkers Machete from Tonga. 

Justin said something along the lines off "HECK YA".

So they got to taking and Justin asked where the big machete was, Terry said its not in the house, the only other place it could be is in the shed.

Justin leaves the house and 25 mins later, we go looking for him and

this is what we found...

He had come across Grandpa Barker Selman's War trunk! We looked at Grandpa's uniform, boots, hats, and lots of odds and ends.

It was neat to see the trunk lined in Old Newspaper from 1915.

Justin also found a old Raymond High School Sweater! For those of you not familiar with Raymond.... our colors are now Red and White, not Black and Orange.

Justin also lifted down another trunk. This one is from Grandpa Barkers first mission to Tonga. 

It had lots of old mission papers, a cane, paddles and lava lava's.

It was really exciting to see some of the things Grandpa had and touch the things he had used durning the war years and his mission. 

Thanks Grandpa Barker for leaving us a amazing legeacy.
