From what we have been able to determine, Heinrich and Wilhelmine Rambow settled in this area after their arrival from Germany in 1874. In the 1880 census, they were listed as living in Dundee Township with their sons, Frederick and Henry and daughters, Fredarecka and Mary.

According to their granddaughter, Bertha (Heiden) Drake, her uncle, August Heiden built this house for them. After their parents died and the other siblings got married and moved away, the two youngest children, William and Minnie continued to live here until their deaths in 1965 and 1962 respectively. We have some remembrances about them and the house.
