"I have a copy of this picture all it said was "Hanna" on it. May I ask who the homestead belongs to? George, Hanna, Ingebor? I was told that Hanna homesteaded out in Western ND and she rented it out and worked in Williston and lost it homestead to back taxes. Family lore I guess. any information about the farmstead or pictures to share I would appreciate. Thank Laurel"
