3364 W Chapman Rd, Chapman, Me. This was owned by Hilston & Freda Kilcollins. Hilston was one of the first farmers to use irrigation on his potato crop. He used the pond across from the house in this picture. It is presently owned by Kevin & Jeana Carter.

Hi, Jeana, glad to see you're still there! Dave Larsson, son of Freda's identical twin sister, Frances Foss Larsson.

I'm Don Larsson, Dave's brother. I can remember when there was a big barn where the tractor/machine shed stands now. When I was very young, I helped Freda gather eggs from the chickens housed there. I don't recall if the barn burned or was just pulled down. Later, I spent most of a summer around 1966 helping Hilston with irrigation pipes, weeding, etc.
