There he build his house, cleared the land and farmed. Edith was the first child born at the farm (all the rest of the children were born there).

I have some newspaper clippings, on John Burgeson ... one on Ida Alstrom Burgeson .... and would be interested in photos. Thank You, Vicky Hofer (granddaughter of Edith Burgeson Pochert)
