The house on the Virgil Road

 Pictured below is Elvirta Knutz and her two young sons, Willie and Howard.  They are pictured at their home on the Virgil Road SW of Huron, S. D.  Attached to the photo is a sketch she made of the home, with a note on it that reads, "Our home by McIlvaine's - we moved here in Mar. 1917 and bought it that June.  Lost it and moved away in March 1925 to Wolsey."  

While they lived here, two of their children were born, and one died.  And their son Willie met his future wife, Lillian Christensen, a neighbor girl.


Above: the house when I was there in 2016.

  1. I'm visiting some blogs I haven't visited in a very long time. It's nice to see that you are still blogging. And nice to see the photo and the drawing. Amazing that the house was still there, although in disrepair.
