Comments

This home was located on 100 N about 1.5 miles SE of Farmland, IN in Randolph County. The homestead, along with approx. 35 acres, was purchased in 1908, 2 yrs after it was built, by my great-grandparents Joseph Morris Odle & Mary Adeline (Addie) (Cecil) Wagner. They lived there until 1934. My paternal grandparents, Harry O. & Flossie Fern (Odle) Wagner (Fern was the youngest child of Joseph & Addie) purchased the property in 1934, moving in on Thanksgiving Day. After their deaths, my Aunt Neysa lived there until her death in 2009. It was sold in an estate sale, used as a rental & supposedly became unlivable. Sadly, the home was demolished in 2019 & a ranch style home was built on the property.
