Comments

I am the Grandson of Allen Redding who farmed this land for over 70 years. I was raised for 5 years in this 13 room antibellem farm house. This land Belong to Harry Beal, a Doctor who died of the Spanish Flu. Grandad continued farming with his widow until she to passed at a very old age. In 1957 this farm was the first farm to have a yield of 100 bushels per acre in the state and one of the first in the nation. My Grand dad passed away at the young age of 104 years. I could write a book about all of the history and adventure this place provided.

! am John Brown and I think I went to school with Clinton. Plains class of 1970. Would like to know where this farm is from Mt. Sterling. Please include current landmarks.
