Bob Zybach: He logged and he farmed, do you know about how many kids he had?

Eugene Glender: No, I don't know.

Bob Zybach: Then, did he have a few milk cows and chickens and hogs and ... subsistence farm or

Eugene Glender: I don't know, I never got over this side of the mountain that much. This is too far away from home ... you know, it's a mile and a half over here.

Bob Zybach: Okay, about ... where the other houses are in that setting

Eugene Glender: Right down here ... see where that other mail box is, that's the drive that went into it.

Eugene Glender: Well, it wasn't very far off the road.

Bob Zybach: So we're by the big fir tree and what's the mileage, Jan.

Eugene Glender: Yeah, it's right in here someplace.

Jan Meranda: [Jan] 10.6.

Bob Zybach: Ten point six. Did the lay of the land look pretty similar in those days or can you recall?

Eugene Glender: Yeah. This is where he farmed down below here. Then he had that timber up on the top up here.

Bob Zybach: Say where that ... fence line's going down about where that house is now, would that be about where his house was?

Eugene Glender: Yeah, apparently, right in there someplace right in that opening in there.

Jan Meranda: [Jan] Where the house is or down where the barn is?

Eugene Glender: Well, just about right straight out here in this opening place, I think.

Bob Zybach: Right between the t?

Eugene Glender: Yeah.

Bob Zybach: Oh, okay.

Eugene Glender: Right in there where all that fences and stuff are, as far as I can remember now.

Bob Zybach: Okay.
