There were nine people in the family. When Michael Finkbeiner took the land, his first work was to build a log house and a pig sty. One day Mrs. Finkbeiner heard the two pigs squeal in terror. Grabbing a shovel she rushed outside to see a bear with one of the pigs, trying to clamber over the sty. She raced at the attacker, the bear dropped the pig and fled. The present house was built following the principles of barn construction, with heavy posts and twenty-two inch pine boards. In 1908 the walls were veneered with brick, and it remains today both comfortable and attractive. ATTENDED PLOWING MATCH Mr. Ed.
