We closed on the farm this morning at 10 AM!  Afterwards we went back to the Massac County Courthouse to see if we could figure out the history on the farm.  It ends up that the farm was first bought in 1888 – we had to move out in 1988 – now we get it back in 2008!  Oddly enough we paid the same price as they paid in 1888 – in today’s dollars!

  Thank you to Tim, from Murphysboro, and Tony Crouch for working so dilligently on the realtor front.  From start to finish it was December 25th – May 16th.
