Land office records show that Andrew homesteaded 120 acres in section 17 in 1892 and another 40 acres in section 3 just east of the small town of Huron in 1901. It was on this 40 acres that the family farm was located sometime after the turn of the century. The dead-end road today is known as Guckenberg Road. The orange square is where the 40 acre farm was located. |
