Helma and Herb Nickel lived at this address which is adjacent to and directly south of the farm owned by Herb's parents. We would guess that it was once part of the farm acreage. After his parents' passing, Larry and his wife Betty and children Kathy and Lee lived here.

As a teenager, I used to help bale hay and straw for Herb and Helma and I really enjoyed the time I spent with them and Larry. Helma always made the largest meal of the day at noontime  and she was a wonderful cook! It was great for a growing teenage boy since my family ate its largest meal at dinner time after my dad got home from his job in the factory. Those were good days!

A few times when Larry would be off on a hunting trip or something, I would go over and help Herb milk the cows. That would be very early in the morning and then again in the late afternoon. I would climb up into the silo and toss silage down to the cart 15 feet below. One time just as I was swinging the heaping fork of silage toward the opening, Herb looked up from below and yelled something. It was too late to stop so the load of silage went tumbling down on his face. I could hear him spitting it out and mumbling, "You damn roundhead!"
