In 1969, Loren’s parents, Whitey and Ruth Tenboer, purchased the farm and moved into the farmhouse. Whitey
Jim and Anne Johnson will celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary on Nov. 24. Jim and Anne (Cox) were married at St. John’s Catholic Church in Rapids City on Thursday, Nov. 24, 1951. They farmed for many years. Jim retired
and Ruth moved to town in 1988, and Loren and Connie moved into the family farm. Over the years, additions have been added, including a large great room in 2003 with vaulted ceilings and a huge window facing sunsets. A beautiful, modern kitchen was installed in 2008. The home will showcase collections of family members’ Christmas decorations and ornaments held dear over the years, including a teddy bear, the very first Christmas gift Connie’s mother
from John Deere in 1994 after 30 years. Anne worked at General Electric and volunteered at King’s Kloset. They are members of the Erie United Methodist Church. They are the parents of Ruth (Jim) Melton, Roger (Kris) Johnson, Diane
