Allie (Alvin) and Dorothy Kau were given this farm in 1949 as a wedding gift from “Grandpa” Kau. The farm was originally 100 acres and an additional 210 acres were purchased soon after. During these early years, the farm included dairy cattle, pigs, chickens, etc. The farm is still in operation, but produces crops only, with the Kau sons currently renting and farming a total of 2000 acres.
Prior owners include Arthur and Daisy Jacqmin. Sam Engle then bought the farm at an auction in 1948. “Grandpa” Kau bought it from Sam a few hours later.

I spent time living and working with this family over several years with heavy concentration time during my Junior year in high school 1964-65 when Allie had back surgery. Worked hard, played hard and many good memories. Like a second family during that time including when Grandma (Grannie) would hide the cookies so we couldn’t eat them all. Great family…..have seen many of them through the years at weddings, funerals, picnics or just stopping at the Homestead. Saw Dorothy, Ken, Jerry and their cousin, Larry on a visit a couple of years ago at above location.
