This land was originally deeded in the early 1800’s by the US President. The McNeely family acquired the land in the 1930s, four generations ago. Since then, the McNeely’s of Philadelphia and Jacksonville, IL and the Broekel’s, of MA and NH have worked successfully with the Devlin family of Ashland, IL. Three generations of the Devlin family have been the tenants since the end of World War II, farming corn and soybeans on all 140 acres. Under the Devlin’s stewardship this fertile ground has year in and year out produced a profit for the two families and is ready for spring planting.
