John Aulwes in the foundation of the home that burnt down. The stone he\u2019s looking at would have been a good place to set your lantern when you went into the cellar. Note sure about the date, but I believe the home burned down in the 1920s.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Interesting biography of Newton made in 1898. He came to Deuel County in September of 1881, filed a homestead claim and returned for his family in February of 1882.\u00a0 He made a house in Wisconsin and shipped it to his new farm in Dakota. In short time he put the home together, thus providing a home for his family while he began to build the barn and outbuildings. I didn\u2019t realize that they did anything like that!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
