Introduction	My parents moved onto this land in 1932 a couple of months after they were married. My father's mom, Rhoda Beardall had been a widow for 31 years and had offered each of her 11 children a chance to own the property (almost an acre) free of charge if they would just build a home and live next door to her. Not one of her children took her up on the "deal" except her 11th child - my father. The house was purchased in Silver City - an old abandoned mining town for $200 and brought to this place in 16 pieces. My 4 siblings were all born here and all of us grew up on this land. I purchased it from my mother in 2004 and slowly but surely have been working to make it a homestead for my family.
