Photo 2-FSI-5

Comments

My parents, Bob and Gloria Jakobitz, owned this farm which was located in Grafton Township, Sibley County, 3 miles south of Buffalo Lake, MN. They sold the farm place in 1988. Today I believe only the farm house and one or two of the out-buildings on the southern and western ends of the property still exist. The barn, grain bins and legs, and building behind the grain bins are long gone. Of the two tall Norwegian pines located across the driveway from the farmhouse, only one still stands. The other was destroyed by winds from a tornado in about 2003. Both trees were planted in 1929.
