This photograph shows A.L. (Albert L.) Winterquist on a farm in front of a building and two cows, with farm machinery in the far right foreground. Probably this was Mr. Winterquist's farm, since John Junkkonen sold a 40 acre tract in section 27 to A.L. Winterquist. Mr. Winterquist built a two-story modern dwelling on this tract, adjacent to Highway 61.
This shows the Thomson Road just south of present day Interstate 35, lined with fence posts and stones removed from the field. There is a small shed in the background, and piles of stones and branches. This was located near the John Fredrickson's farm - formerly known as John Alatalo. John Alatalo homesteaded this farm in 1873, one year after he came to America from Finland. He died in 1876, and his was the first death among the early settlers in the area. John Alatalo's brother, Peter, took over the operation of the farm after John's death. In 1935 the owner of the farm was Peter Fredrickson Jr., who was born on the farm on March 2, 1889.
