Farmed by the Mereness, Longmore, Beach/Thorson, Carlson, takes families. Ben Carlson farmed here 1958-1984. After a farmer was killed crossing the road the milk his cows, a milking barn was built on the property on the same side as this house (1940-50 timeframe). In 1968, a semi missed the curve and hit the barn closest to the road. At that point, it was moved near the newer milking barn. The back buildings were then torn down. See roll 32 photo 15 for the rest of this farm. It was known as Lake View Farm, and encompassed land from South Shore Drive on both sides of Hwy 50, about 1/2 mile east, from Town Hall Road and down CT F about 1/2 mile.
In the 1979 photos, it is roll 39, photos 13 & 14, with other angles in photos 1&2.
