Ralph Heiden - Now, on this farm,
Grandpa owned all the land on the north
side of the road (8861
Dixon Road) to the river too? Did he sell off the parcels where
the other houses are now?
 William Frank Heiden -
Leo was the first one to buy a three acre lot from
Dixon
Road back to the river. His was the one right next to Jesse Barnes’
place. Then he sold three acres to
Wally Grams
(left). The last lot went to
Paul Goetz.
Ralph Heiden - I remember Jerry and Anabel from Toledo who had a small
place there where they came out on weekends.
William Frank Heiden - Those were the Feebacks. They bought the lot from Leo.
(Lot 3)
Mary Lou (Heiden) Opfermann - I think they sold the lot when they bought the house on
South Custer where Mother lives now.
Brick Tommelein - When
Leo bought it, were they going to live there? Wonder
why they never did.
Mary Lou (Heiden) Opfermann - They had intentions of building. I can remember them
looking at books and books of house plans but they never did build.
Probably because they had a chance to buy the home on
South Custer.
William Frank Heiden - I think Pa sold all those lots for $1500 each.
Ralph Heiden - Someone thought that Grandpa delivered the mail at one time.
William Frank Heiden - I think they probably heard him talking about going down
to the corner when the road was muddy and getting the mail down
there and taking it to the people along the way.
