This is the farm where I spent my first five years. We moved in about 1952. It is on highway 48. The house is still there and the barn too. There is a house built behind the original,and many of the out buildings were changed from when we lived there according to my brother. My parents were Tom and Eva Richardson.

Tom and Eva Richardson bought the farm in the late 30's. they moved from the farm about 1952. The major buildings are still there;house, barn, tool shed,and chicken house. another may be our milk house. Tom built the milking part of the barn to the rear and the kitchen and entry behind the house. When I lived there there were 3-4 locust trees along the road, a mahogany tree on the barn side of the house, and an apple tree in the middle of the garden. The tree line at the top at the end of the field were along a public road that was no longer used. the trees there were sasafrase to the front and hedge apple trees to the back.
