Garvin, Suzanne S. - Rambling Rivers or Down on the Farm, September 28, 1994

 File — Box: 10
Identifier: 1

Paper description

John and Sue purchased a beautiful property on the Wisconsin River. Here is an account, however, of the restoration of the "wreck of a farmhouse and outbuildings" until it became a "Wondrous Farm" under the encompassing ministry of John and Sue. Each milk can, rooster, soybean, guinea hen - all are dealt with thoughtfully as part of the larger plan. John and Sue - and the reader - rejoice when the ultimate is accomplished. The paper includes the history of the Wisconsin River and the early settlers who lived along its banks. The couple and their family lived at the farm on weekends and vacations for many years, raising cattle and gardening. Question: Could it be that John and Sue in the story are really Suzanne and her husband?
