From the May 24,1943 photo essay by Alfred Eisenstaedt, “SPRING ON THE FARM IN PENNSYLVANIA.” The essay showed the readers of LIFE what spring looked like in Lancaster County, and PA in the spring of 1943. According to LIFE,“the richest farming county east of the Rocky Mountains.” This image ran with the following caption: “Five o'clock milking is a family chore on the Aaron H. Weaver farm in East Drumore township, near Quarryville. The Weavers are Mennonites whose Swiss ancestors came to Pennsylvania seven generations ago. (l. to r.) are Harold, and 12; Anna Mary,10; Ruth, 9; Miriam, or 14; Mother Mary; and Father Aaron.
