Archival research indicates that this is the farm and land of the Marvel and Simms family. First, it belonged to George W. Marvel (1821-1903), who farmed the land in the 1850s, 60s, and 70s. George was the son of Robert Marvel (1803-1889) who was one of the earliest settlers of Brown Township, coming in 1835 and settling just northeast of this property.

It then passed to his daughter, Rose Marvel Simms (1875-1959) and her husband Leonzo Simms (1874-1941). The house pictured was likely built by them - the style points to a build date of around 1920. It is also likely this house replaced the original 19th century house George occupied.
