Below is a picture of a home built on the Österholm homestead
in the late 1890's. The two story home was last occupied by Hilda
Maria Österholm (Riddar), who lived there for over 60 years.
The home was built a few years after her birth in 1884, where she lived
until her death in 1961. Hilda was the great granddaughter of Isak
Johansson Brenner who first settled in the homestead. The records
state, "this is the last known house in the Isak Johansson area".
The photo was taken November 1999.
