This farm is my neighbor's farm. It is owned by Leonard Sigurdsen. He has lived here since he was 14 and as of June 9, 2017 he is now 89. I spent a lot of time working and playing here. I also lived here with Leonard's family my Senior year of high school. I love this farm and his family.

Leonard and Alberta Sigurdsen lived here. Leonard moved here with his family at age 14 in 1942 and died 4/28/2020 just 5 weeks before age 92. Alberta was a neighbor girl just down the road that was a few years younger. They had six children - 4 boys and 2 girls. I grew up on the neighboring farm to the west next to the train tracks alongside State Hwy 107. I'm actually living at this farm right now for a while.
