1890’s Kline Creek Historical Farm. Outlying buildings and fields.
This is an 1890’s farm house in West Chicago Illinois. It was built by the Kline family in the 1880’s. It is furnished for the 1890’s. They were a German Catholic family from New York. They were a Midwestern farm family of moderate means. I included this because I wanted to to know what what the farm of Joseph A. Jesmer, my great-great grandfather might have been like in Greenbush Township Minnesota. He settled there in 1867 and built a log cabin and later a farm house. The Klines built a log cabin and then a farmhouse. The Jesmers were Catholic French Canadian farmers from upper state New York, a farm family of moderate means also. I am willing to bet that Joseph and MaryAnn Jesmer’s house was not much different than this. Enjoy!
