Photo 33-IKA-9

Comments

Klock Farm, Harry and Amelia Dumoulin Klock raised their 5 sons and daughter here. Babies were born in the house at left, with no water or electricity. Later an uncle brought Windmill electricity to the 1940's built house (The longtime Mayor of Sycamore, HAROLD `RED` JOHNSON, told me that he helped build that house). The Klock daughter, ("a watch among the 5 pendulums"), was a sophomore in high school when they moved in, HHS Class of '42. She was born in the old house April 1925. Most of the grape vines are gone, to the right of the old house. The 40 x 60' barn roof has collapsed from wind, 2021. The class of 42' portrait hangs at nearby Chick N Dip restaurant.
