Thank you for the information, I do have a follow-up question. When they mention the farm name, are they talking an actual place? And if so, would you have any idea of how big it would have been?

When Anton came to Minnesota he purchased a farm of 160 acres. His second son, My ggrandfather, John Erickson Holm farmed over 3000 acres in North Dakota around 1900. I was always interested in where Anton would have gotten the money to purchase his original farm in Minnesota.
