Photo 78-OPI-35

Comments

This is the farm of Paul and Alice Carlson. My parents, Charles and Rosanne Matzek purchased the farm in 1976. I grew up on the farm. Very different today, as my dad updated the farm, added on to the big red barn a few times and modernized the milking set up. Paul and Alice Carlson lived in the farm house until their deaths in 1988 and 1990 respectively. The farm was property of the Gutting family and the Raymond Matzek Senior family (in that order) prior to the Carlsons. I know the Raymond Matzek family lived there in the early 1940s and moved to the Matzek home farm a few miles away in 1944.
