It was 100 years ago this past month that the Catholic Church of St. Anthony of Padua in New Posen was as moved two miles to the northeast to the village of Farwell. In order to move this large of a building, the church had to be split in two with each section being moved separately. Our Fall, 2025 issue of “historically speaking” covers this move and the rich history of that Polish Catholic settlement. You won’t want to miss this issue!

An individual has come across a vintage photo album and believed to be from Howard County, perhaps the Dannebrog area. It's possible some of the relatives photographed are of the Rasmussen family. Included with this post are some of the wonderful family portraits. Do you happen to know any of these people? If so, please let us know.
