Was your place over next to new 37? The barn that burned was just up the hill on the south side of 75th east of Allisonville by about a 1/4 mile. I may have it mixed up, but I think the farm was being subdivided and the old house and barn were still there with tennents living in it. Bunch of wild kids living there.
