Liberty Grove Farm

George and Settie Locke were married March 18, 1891.  They settled in Liberty Township, Howard County, Indiana.  The original deed to the property was to Peter Hersleb by way of treaty with the Miami Indians and was signed and sealed by President Polk's secretary.  George and Settie built this house in 1902. 

Ross and Elsie grew up on this farm.  [More history to follow.]

In 1947 Virginia and Arthur moved to the farm house and Arthur farmed the 160 acres. They later chose to name the property Liberty Grove Farm.

c. 1957

The farm is staying in the family!  Skipping generations: Settie and George are Virginia's grandparents; Virginia and Arthur are Jason's grandparents.  Jason and Shay purchased six acres including the grove and buildings.  Construction on the new home began in Spring of 2010.

A bit sad to see the old house go...
