I believe this farm was one my Dad's sister and her husband owned in the late 1930's until their son sold it about 10 years or so ago, around 2003. This farm no longer exists. the buildings have been torn down. Her maiden name was Phyllis Hayton, her husband was Alfred Olsen and their children were Irene and Charles, he was known as Chuck. It was located about a mile from a small town that was known as Jim Falls. It was a place where family members spent happy times visiting in the 40's and 50's, my Aunt Phyllis was killed in a car accident in around 1960. The building in the foreground was built int the 80's or 90's,the other buildings, some of them, I do not remember being there in the early 40's as far as I remember, there was a milk house that I can see in the picture close to the back of the house and the farthest barn back that has a silo.

Yes this is the old olson farm now a gravel pit for I believe Haas 1 pole shed is still there

Yes, that was my grandpa and grandma's farm Chuck and Julie Olson had many great times at the farm. Helping milk the cows, picking veggies in the garden, riding golf carts all around the field, tree swing in the front yard. Its no longer they its now a gravel pit. My grandma still lives on the back part of the land in a different house. Happy times!
