Photo 27-FBI-11 from 1979

Comments

This was the Odden farm for many years. Originally homesteaded by Iver Odden before 1899, it was subsequently farmed by Edward Odden. In 1931, Josephine Odden lived here, and still did in 1960. Her sons Melvin and Edwin farmed it in the 50's & 60's, respectively. By 1976, Jerald & Sharon Soucek lived here, but it appears vacant in this 1979 photo, and has been ever since. The grove was still there five years ago.
