In1965 this farm was owned by my father and mother, Ivan L. and Delores J. Sherman. My husband (Mike Renn) and I lived here from 1980 - 1985. Then my sister, Nancy Sherman Ireland lived here for a few years. This farm was purchased by my father's mother's grandparents, John S. and Laura Beeler Howe. They were the parents of Jessie Howe Lowe, Ivan's grandmother. John S. Howe was a Civil War veteran.

Ivan/the farm were honored with a Hoosier Homestead Award in the 1990’s.
