Abstract
Within the past year, both my uncle and aunt
passed away, leaving me owner of the small
unproductive southern Illinois family farm , with
its unpretentious seven-room house dating back
to the mid-1BOOs. As income from the farm
declined and medical bills escalated, my uncle
and aunt were unable to keep up with needed
improvements, and the house fell into disrepair.
It will have to be razed. It is within this house
that my family roots lie and in which my early
life unfolded.
