At the time of his marriage, Mr. Kunch bought a farm in Howard township, north of Toledo, and this was his home until 1920 when he bought another farm in Howard township, a short distance from the first farm. The home place, now operated by the son George, is located six miles north and three-quarters of a mile east of Toledo on graveled road.
