Donald was born on the Orville Sackett farm on Section 14 and lived on the same farm until he retired and moved to Greenfield in the summer of 1974. During the years he was owner of the farm, many changes were made. A gravity water system from the pasture to the farm buildings was built.
All buildings on the farm are new except a small building used for feed now, but formerly for a separator house. Although retired, Don farms with Bob Lilly, present owner of the farm.Note: Those names with * live in Adair County.
