Description
The O. H. Taylor property was on what is now U.S. 1 south of its intersection with Route 6 in Topsfield.
Otis Taylor was a selectman and postmaster and also owned a general store. Although there were commercial potato farms in Topsfield, Taylor was not a commercial potato grower, so the huge potatoes being harvested are most likely for sale in his store or for his own use.
