Looks like the Beckstroms Station road New Sweden

Herman and Marion Beckstrom Farm. Potato cellar; small pump house; machine shed metal roof; barn with attached concrete stable for cows and chickens; farmhouse with porch. Active farm when this picture was taken, Potato cellar burned a few years later. Marion was my Aunt and Herman and My Uncle Charles (Marion's Brother) grew potatos here and at Charles' farm near the Luthren Church. Also grew hay and oats stored in the barn for the milking cows and Hens. Joanne and Sonny (Herm Jr) & Jeana grew up there. All buildings now gone except house at 486 Station Rd. Last Beckstrom to live there was Sonny's son Eric & wife Veronica. Eric passed on 5/6/2015.
