Emanuel Bishop's Farm

Emanuel Bishop, son of John Bishop, lived on his father's farm just a mile north of Chuckery.  John Bishop lived on another farm at Bridgeport.  In May of 1894, Emanuel Bishop kept busy building a new barn on the Chuckery farm.  Apparently he became scarcely seen at family meals, so on May 17 of 1894, the entire extended Bishop family made a surprise visit to see Emanuel.
