This was my maternal grandparents homestead/farm which was purchased in 1904 by my grandfather. My grandparents transferred ownership to their two bachelor sons (my uncles) in 1955 and owned it until 2007 (after death of younger brother) , had an auction, and farm was purchased by the next door farming neighbor. They sold the dairy herd in 1988 and 1989 and went into cash cropping.to the day of sale.

My grandparents homestead which was purchased in 1904 and farmed it with raising 5 children until they transferred ownership to their two bachelor sons (my uncles) in 1955. My uncles farmed the homestead, purchased additional land, continued raising dairy cattle until 1988-1989 and went into cash cropping (until death of younger brother) at which time sold homestead farm to next door farming neighbor and also had an auction.
