Further down the road was the home of the Muschany brothers, Bill, Ed, and Louis, pictured here with
their sister, Daisy. These men lived with their mother, Margaret, in this house (below left) until her death
in 1939. All three brothers had farmed and worked at a variety of other jobs. They also had a grist
mill on their property. Neighbors knew them as the best kind of people. Louis was known for his
ability to tell stories. One of his brothers once said of him, "Louis would lie. He just tells novels."
