I found another glimmer of life on the farm with this tidbit from the Warren Sheaf, October 1916. Peter Liden is my great grandfather's older brother, and sadly, they lost a part of their livelihood when there was a mysterious fire in the barn.
It's easy to gain dates, numbers, marriages, childrens' names from sources like the Census data. But it's these little newspaper blurbs that give a glimpse into the real history of your relatives. I'm grateful the Warren Sheaf liked to print local history, colorful and otherwise!
