Problem: a low-lying, wet, unfarmable area on a farm. Solution: a pond. A reasonable solution, especially when your son-in-law has earth-moving equipment. Back in the 1960s my Grandpa Cornelius Schumm had a low area on his farm, located a little northeast of his barn.

Across the road from Zion Lutheran Church in Schumm is a nice home and farm buildings, owned by Ned Alspaugh in the 1970s and beyond. West of the barn is a pond, dug in 1974. My mom and dad took these photos of Alvin Krueckeberg excavating and digging Ned Alspaugh’s pond in 1974.
