Rand. A Grant county, Wisconsin, farm continued to be their home for nineteen years after which they removed to Iowa, living for the first few weeks in Alden. During their residence in Alden they purchased the farm in Buckeye township where they continued to reside for thirty years. Four years ago they sold the Buckeye property and moved to Alden again.
