The Fulton Sun-Gazette-1963
Peacock Brothers:
All but one of the old steam engines on the Peacock Brothers Farm have been sold and there will be no steam engine show here this farm Jim Peacock said today. He said two of the giant engines , once a family sight during the harvest time on farms, went to buyers in Ohio and two others went to Oklahoma collectors. They bought from $350.00 to $1,150.000 he said.
The steam engine shows, under sponsorship of the Fulton Lions Club, annually attracted several thousand persons to the Peacock Farm, and many old engines were shipped in for display and operation. The clanking engines, billowing clouds of smoke and emitting shrill signal whistles, got a workout for three days each fall. The sights and sounds caused many a highway travelers to pause and re-live the days of glamor farming.
Only one engine remains on the farm and that is a 20-horsepower Minneapolis model. It probably will be sold before long.
The shows were arranged and delivered by brother, Ed, who died several months ago. The Peacock farm, composed of 690 acres on both sides of Highway 54 north of Fulton, will lose about 22 acres in the current Highway 54 improvement.
