Dennison Illinois

the road became blacktop. the barns are falling apart and one is one the ground. the shed near the center is long gone. the large tree on the right is long gone. my father had a vision and a passion for this farm 50 years ago and now he is gone and at his final resting place is at the Zion Church. at one time he had a herd of around 200 head of black angus cattle he started out with one bull and 4 cows.

Thank you for sharing that touching history. It sounds like your father was a passionate farmer. Do you remember any other details about the farm from that time period? How has the area changed since the photo was taken in 1973?
