Editing Mailahn Farm (section)

== Maps ==

Below you will see a copy of the 1889 Plat map with the Luthern Cemetery, the 20 acre Louis Mailahn farm, and the 40 acres Ludwig Mailahn farm marked for reference.  Next are the modern Google maps and Google satellite view of the same area with the same three locations marked for reference.

[[File:Mailahn Farm 6.png|center|thumb|770x770px|1955 Plat Map of Black Creek Township, Sections 26 and 27.  The 20 acre Mailahn farm is in green, now combined with the 20 acre farm just south of it and owned by "Ed Holz", who also owned the 80 acres across the street and likely a descendant of the Charles Holz in the 1889 map of the same property.  This suggests that it likely was the Holz family that eventually purchased the farm from the Edward Mailahn.  All of this property is still owned by the Holz family today.]]

[[File:Mailahn Farm Diagram.png|center|thumb|687x687px|A diagram of the Mailahn farm as printed in the Appleton Post-Crescent in 1912.  We should assume that this is not to scale, and there appears to be an error with the "East" and "West" as they are out of correct alignment with "North" and "South" - but a written description noted that the smokehouse was about 50 yards from the rear of the house, which would make sense with the street being along the west side of the property in front of the barn.  The barn being in front also matches the description by Edward that he saw his brother and father headed into the barn as he left to pick up his brothers.]]
