==Description== According to an 1889 Plat Map of Black Creek Township (T23N, R17E), and an 1890 Deed for this property, the [[Louis Mailahn]] farm was 20 acres and located in the northern half of the NW quarter of the SW quarter of Section 26. On the map his name was incorrectly written as "Louis Weylahn", but a broad search of all of Outagamie County confirm that there was no one by the name of Weylahn, or any spelling variant, in Outagamie County at the time. The closest match was the "van der Wielen" family who did not arrive in Outagamie County from Lithoijen, Netherlands until 1923. And, of course, the Deed for the property correctly lists his name as [[Louis Mailahn]]. The 1889 map was either actually drawn up in 1890, or Louis may have already been there on a term of mortgage prior to Feb 1890, and only completed the final payment on that date.
