This farm has been in the family for over 100 years. Owned first by William & Emma (Tebbe) Kuehl. Their son Fred Kuehl then owned it for a number of years. He never married. Eventually Fred's niece (who was born in this house) and her husband (Donald & Marcella Garrett Keiner) purchased it and raised their sons there. Don passed away in 2006 and Marcella in 2010. The farm was then sold at auction to the son of Marcella's brother, Eugene Garrett. The house and the remaining buildings were razed following the death of Gene's father (aka Marcella's brother) in 2016. Gene's son, Kelly Garrett now farms this entire property. Kelly is a great great grandson of William & Emma Kuehl.

Hi Tena,
Thank you for the amazing history of this property! What kind of farm did your family operate during the 100 years they lived there?
