[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1025141, member: 14713"] I'm the 3rd and last generation here on this place. I have no kids of my own, nor any nephews/neices. My health forced me to retire at age 50. I sold the home place to the next door neighbors. I get to live here as long as I want/am able. After I'm gone, this will probably just be another vacant ranch headquarters. :( Grandpa homesteaded here in the 1900's. He and Grandma, my dad as a toddler, and oldest uncle as a baby came from Ringgold Co IA to stay in 1925. They came to Wall SD on train. Team and wagon forded Cheyenne River north of Wall and came rest of way. 2 more uncles born here. Only youngest of the 4 is left. He sold out and moved to McCook Nebraska to be near his wife's family. All Dad's brothers had sizable ranches, all sold to outsiders now. As I type this I'm sitting in the original part of the house Grandpa built. [/QUOTE]
