This was the Anderson homestead farm bought from the state in the early 1870's. Hans and Karna Anderson built the house and barn and farmed it, followed by son John and Ella, then his son Edmund and Eloise. I lived there until I was 6 when Dad built the "new" house near the school. Eldon and Vera Larson then bought it.

Hi, Dottie. I'm your cousin, Don Larsson, now living in Minnesota. I may have visited this house with my parents when I was very young and we'd come up from Connecticut, but I mainly remember the "new" house you mention.
