Elmer and Louise (Yost) Ehlers farm north east of La Moille

this is where I currently live

Hi Chawn ... I may have some photos of the farm over the years. My grandfather was born and lived most of his life on the farm due east of your home. Most of my photos are of his farm. His Uncle (Paul Ehlers) and cousin (Paul's son Elmer) owned and farmed your home form many years. The old barn across the street was magnificent and was built in the mid 1800s. I visited Elmer while a crew was carefully deconstructing it to reuse the wood.

Hello Bruce we love the history of our little farmstead. We have been in touch with Mark a few years back but haven’t heard from him in a while. Love pictures with all the outbuildings and the farm across the road, wish it was all still here

Chawn ... PM me at bruce(at)ehlers-online.com. I can send some other incidental photos that I have. My dad, grandfather and great grandfather were all hobbyist photographers. Last I knew Mark was in AZ but haven't seen him in 50 years!
