This used to be my grandparents property my father and his three sisters was raised on that piece of property I used to help farm that property and now since the state of Indiana has taken it over since January of 2001 there is nothing left of it except a grown up brush pile no buildings left except one which is a pole barn that used to have stalls in it to feed cows and now it has all been redone new roof new sides new door the old corn crab Runway equipment shed has been torn down the old garage that the farm truck was stored in has been torn down the freezer Tool Shed has been torn down a very old house that somebody was born in that had been my neighbor for 40 years has been torn down and there is nothing left of the property except an eyesore shows how much the United States government takes care of seized land both of my grandparents would be rolling over in their grave if they could see what it looks like now even though the cemetery is within 500 ft of the property

Hello Dennis,
This is a sad story but also a common one with these photos. Many of these properties are no longer there for one reason or another. I would like to pinpoint the location of the property once it was. Can you provide any specific details about its location?
