This farm was bought in 1920 by my Great Grandparents Paul and Martha Warchock. They with their eight children, moved here from the Warczak/Warchock homestead in Parisville, MI. I have a photo of my Great Grandfather and Grandfather leading a horse drawn wagon moving to this farm. My Grandfather and my Mother grew up here and I spent much of my life growing up here when it was still owned by my Great Uncles, Ed and Ray Warchock. It was sold after the death of my Uncle Ray Warchock. The barn is stil standing and has been added onto as well as the machine shed. The house is gone with a new one in its place. When the house was being torn down there were copies of the Flint Journal dating 1870 found in the walls as insulation. Also the exterior walls were 2x6 studs with dry poured sand and gravel in between then wrapped on the interior and exterior with horizontal 2x12 boards and then bricked on the exterior. I have some of the bricks. I could walk this farm blindfolded and there is not a day that goes by that I do not visit this place and all those times in my thoughts and memories.
