The Smillie-King-Sevevin Farm near Eaton is another of our farms celebrating its centennial this year. It got its start in 1891 when Andrew Jackson Smillie purchased 160 acres from the original homesteader. A. J. Smillie and his wife Etta eventually passed the farm on to their daughter Cecile, who had married Arthur Dale King. Arthur and Cecile, in turn, passed on operations of the farm to their daughter, Hazel Marie, and her husband Dean Serverin. Today, Dean and Hazel continue to manage and live on the farm, which produces sugar beets, beans, corn, alfalfa, barley and oats.
