Sixth Generation Boardman Descends on Carroll County Farm
The 177 acre Thornton J Zier farm six miles north of Lanark Illinois sits along a lazy creek in Cherry Grove township. Generations of Boardman ancestors started homesteading in northern Illinois after 1839 while facing claim jumpers and railroad-driven changes. Today Thornton J Zier and Bettye run the diversified farm raising Chester White hogs and beef cattle as their son Frank plays nearby on a land steeped in pioneer history.
