In 2009, David Friedrichsen, neighbor and good friend of the Grimm family sent me these pictures to scan.

Harry Friedrichsen farm - 3 miles east of Manning and 1 mile south of 141.
Today this is a Stoberl family - there is a power substation on the northwest part of this farm next to the intersection.

Just for a joke, the next time you see Curtis tell him he still owes me for pulling up the corn I had growing on the dirt mound over the storm cellar.

Here's the story behind it:
When I was a kid I played with my tractors and Tonka trucks on the dirt mound over the storm cellar behind the farmhouse. Trying to be a little farmer like my dad I had planted a row of corn and it had come up about 3 inches. Ila (Curtis' mom) came over to visit my mom so Curtis and I went out to the mound where I showed him the corn I was so proud of. After we played for little while I needed to use the bathroom so I went back to the house.

When I came out Curtis had pulled up all my corn. I was really mad at him so I ran inside to tell his mom. After Ila heard what Curtis had done she went outside to find him. She grabbed Curtis by the arm and pulled him all the way down the walkway to their car. He was holding back and screaming all the way. Obviously something was coming that Curtis wanted no part of, I'm not sure what happened when they got home that day but Curtis probably does.
