Can you help to solve the mystery of these two Fremont County Homes? 

Who built them and when they were built? Where exactly are they, what township?  Who were Tebe Reeves and Earnest Nenneman? What happened to their families?  Can you tell us something about the history of the homes?  If you can help to answer any of these questions, Please email Constance and I will post the information and connect it the proper home.
