Ancestry





Today I went to the farm my grandpa purchased when he was 19 years old and brought his bride to 11 years later. My mother and all her siblings were born there. It was a unique feeling walking around and thinking about my mom playing there when she was a little girl. The family moved off the farm in 1920 and sadly, now, it is in a state of disrepair. A grandson of my grandparent's best friends owns it now and uses it for storage of machinery and farms the land.
