Lane. Gark Young had some sisters, one. Tiny Morrison, who lived cast of the Kankakee Bridge at one time. It is said the Smyths bought a new Model T Ford in 1914. Construction of a round barn requires some unusual construction techniques. The circular and octagonal barns were designed in the 1830’s. The theory was that a circle encloses the maximum amount of floor space with a minimum amount of wall. These barns were built in different styles and hardly any two were built alike. On the inside they were ideal for hay storeage. shelter for livestock, storage space for grain, milking places, shelter for farm machinery and the silage with a drive way in the barn. Each barn was somewhat designed by the owner. Others considered this type of building unsatisfactory with their pie shape or wedge pens. This type of barns were built as late as 1920. In Fulton County there were 15 round barns making them the round barn capital of Indiana. The one in Johnson Twp. had a silo in the center, poured concrete foundation

and a cupola on top of the shingle roof, Don Wray, Route 3, Walkerton, was a young man around 20 years old when this barn was built. They wanted someone to go to the top of the barn and close the door that was open on the second floor. Ernest Hayter asked Don if he would climb up there and close the door and Don did. As he reached the top of the barn the boards were loose as well as the dwr and all this caused Don to almost fall 50 feet to the floor.
