Vince and Kathryn Keltgen farm south west of Olivia. 10 of us siblings grew up there. We scaled most of those trees and buildings. Lots of mechanical work took place in that barn which was used as a work shop. When Mom and Dad came here after the war, he found he didn't like farming so did tractor repair and L.P. gas engine conversions. Eventually Dad started flying again doing instructing and chartering, had a rich history of flights. Rick Julson, a cousin, owns the farm site now. The remodeled house remains, out buildings are gone, groves are changed or gone with many new plantings encompassing a much bigger area.

We our the current owners of this farm site. The house has been remodeled but still has the same shape. The only build left in place is the small granary. More buildings have been added.Two acres of grass and trees have been added south of the old barn. Nice place to be living at.
