Howard Derrick launched the Derrick Motor Company in 1929, selling Fords and Lincolns until World War II. The Derricks and their four children moved into the small house partly visible at right, a former summer cottage of a Baltimorean, unheated and uninsulated. Today Kimball's Servicenter occupies the renovated structure.

Two teams pull plows at Ingleside, just south of Ashton; the 1855 home stands at right. Gussie Holland works the plow in foreground, while Ingleside farmer Francis Snowden supervises the annual plowing ritual.
