The photo on left is dated 1926 with Ida holding a baby.  The date is wrong or Ida is holding someone else's baby as she did not
have any baby in 1926.  Other photos are of Ida during the years from 1926-1956.  The third photo shows a portion of their home
burning down around 1949.  The 5th photo is the best photo of Ida in front of the two homes on their farm.  The one on the left is now a lake cabin by Lake Faulkton.  Better photos in this collection below.  The house on the right was the one Rolland Eschenbaum moved to Faulkton as his home.  Next photo is of Ida and William circa 1940's.  Last photo is of the Eschenbaum group including Grandpa Eschenbaum's brothers on the porch of the house that burned.  Sadly there are only about 4 folks
surviving today from that shot taken before 1949.

   Two photos on far right were taken of Ida in middle 80's in her apartment.  Notice the pillow behind her head, which
is of her father Christ.  I suspect that photo was taken of the formal photo on the home page of this website.  That pillow
was given to Melvin and now possessed by Janelle Davis, Ida's great-granddaughter.

Many old farmhouses end up slowly falling down, torn down or burned down.  The Eschenbaum family home like a phoenix survived to live again.  It was purchased and moved to the eastside of Faulkton Lake and now used as a lake home.  It is maintained and breathes new life.  These photos were taken in May of 2007.
