File:Eagle Farm on 464.jpg

Summary

This photo was taken of the Eagle Farm sale in 1976. A farm that was passed down several generations, George Maynard Eagle (1892-1975) was the final family owner.

The property goes back to M.H. Fout, who owned the land in the 1873 map of Petersville District No. 13. The farm extended and abuts to the present-day Othello Park at Petersville. In 2020, Brylawski paid $3M for the parcel.

Charlie Smith As of Nov, 2025, the house is still standing, but the barns burned in appx. 1980 - 1982. The balance of the building were torn down and lots were sold off including across Rt. 464. Tommy Sigler purchased a large lot and built a house. Mr. Bralawski did a beautiful job restoring Mr. Eagle's home.

Dave Smith I believe that house was restored and is still standing. It's off of 464. I helped with demolition when I was 14 or 15. I was working for bralawski. That was around 1987 88. I never got to see it completed but it was in really bad shape. Found alot of cool things in the walls. A lot of old coins. Most of the things found were in rat nests in the walls. We also found a ouija board in the attic of the log cabin section. Every layer of floor had newspaper between the boards and the lower the layer the older the advertising. We saw buggys for sale at Sears and Robuck.

Mark Stewart Shucked a lot of sacks of corn and snapped tubs of beans sitting on the side porch of that house. That view is not shown in this picture. My patents and Bobby and Francis Eagle were close friends. There was always a huge garden and shared produce!

William Roelke Maynard Eagle was my grandmother Katherine Blanche (Eagle) Roelke’s brother. I used to go to the old house with her sometimes when she cut Uncle Mayne’s hair. Aunt Mandy was there as well.
