That land first belonged toPatrick Fahey (US gov. to Patrick Fahey,

in Maurice's will probated March 1927.
Patrick's son Earl took over
the farm when my grandfather Pat and Lena retired and moved into Platte
Center. My grandfather died in 1952. Earl then had the farm ,and
it was sold in 1958 to a family named Greisen. They tore the old house
down and built a new one. I don't know if they still own ithe land.
There is no house at all on that land now.
There was another parcel of land, too.

and from my dear friend CM- Thank you :)
I took the liberty of condensing the email,
"Maurice Langen. This was the west half of the south west quarter of section fourteen in township eighteen north of range one west of the sixth principal meridian in Nebraska containing eighty acres. This was his homestead and registered in Grand Island. on Nov. 20, 1882.
Filed for record and entered in Numerical Index Nov. 9, 1887 at 2 P.M. homestead certificate No. 4470.....
.....1882 means he had lived there the required 5 years and it was then his. As near as I can figure from this land description his land would have been 5 miles East of Platte Cemter."
