Hi. My wife's great great grandfather bought our farm in Jan. 1887. It is in Polk County Ia., between Polk City and Madrid. The farm was given to one of his daughters to live on when she got married. My wife's grandmother was born there. Her dad bought it in the 1950's. My wife and her brother were born there. The farm was 100 acres. The government took over 62 acres of it for Saylorville Lake. The inlaws sold the acreage and buildings when they moved to town, Madrid. I bought my brother-in-laws half. I sold 3 acres to a friend and have 45 acres left, bare ground. It is cash rented out.
The farm is 1/4 of a mile west of the Highway up from Des Moines, thru Polk City to Madrid. Bonnie and Clyde stopped at the neighbors on day and stole his car. At one time some Chicago gangsters had a house back off the road near the Des Moines river 2 miles from our place, but nobody knew what they did, stayed away from them.
