Pictured are the horses of Monroe, Ohio resident Gus Hinkle. The horses, from left to right, are name Estella, Waco, Bismark, Bosseau and Hochard. The numbers refer to the Percheron Society of America registry records. Fine horses, such as the Percherons in these images, were raised in the Monroe area. Gus Hinkle (Gustavus Hinckle) had a 100-acre farm on the east side of Great Miami Pike - present-day Cincinnati Dayton Road - about a mile north of Monroe. Not only was Gus Hinkle listed in the Percheron Society of America's registry, he was listed by the National French Draft Horse Association's The National Register of French Draft Horses as a breeder of draft horses. In their register, he was listed as from Middletown. Hinkle had other land in Lemon Township, and also in Madison Township. The Percheron is a French breed of draft horse which has a gray or black coat. Gus Hinkle's great-grandsons, the Bake brothers, later farmed this land.</div>
