I am trying to find the location of a farm my Grandfather owned in the late 1950's. There is no one left with the directions to this old farmstead. The only facts I can remember is that it was about 8 miles from Howard Kansas and adjoined a farm owned by the Day family. My Grandfather was John Blue married to Alta. It was their weekend getaway and gathering place for extended family, especially popular during hunting season. I believe he had someone farm it for him,(Don Luether~or something like that). His health failed and he sold it to the Day family I think. Last I had heard the farmhouse was abandoned (never used) as they had wanted it for the land. Several cousins from across the United States would love to drive by the area where they spent many happy hours and asked me to try to get the location. I am not sure where to begin. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank You. Gaile
