Mary and Loren Thomas (center) celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in June, 2018. Their children Laura (CJ) Seljan, Mike (Kelly) Thomas, and Kristie (Scott) Maynard helped milk cows on the farm growing up. Grandchildren Melissa, Zach, Bryce, Devin, Julia, Ben and Matthew still help farm the 175 acres. The farm was founded by Mary’s great-grandfather, Andreas Sather from Norway. He purchased the land from war widows after the civil war.
