Darlo & Irene were blessed with 10 children. All those kids were born on the farm, 1.5 miles south of the west edge of Crofton, NE, except for Collin who was born at Paul & Julia’s farm, and Todd who was born a hospital in Yankton, SD. The farm was a great place to grow up and with a large family as we had, there are a lot of group pictures! This is a “grouping” of pictures that I hope you Enjoy!
