Witcrafts of Romance Farm Reflect 1865 Roots
Alvin Witcraft now 83 and Grace 81 live two miles southeast of Romance Wisconsin in a house built by their parents after homesteading in 1865. They are the last of 14 children born in a log cabin on the same farm. Alvin left school after eighth grade, Grace has run the household for decades, and both recall a world of horse traffic on the old road to Genoa and La Crosse. They remain alert, conservative, and self reliant, not on relief, hopeful for health but prepared for hospital care if needed.
