Vander Vegte, John
John married Catherine Bron. The couple had four children: Anne, Janie, Tony and Nancy. They purchased the Dixon farm in 1958 from a Mrs. Cummings. John renovated the barn which had wooden aisles, gutters and mangers. Concrete was poured and they milked 20 Guernsey cows as the first herd. They then switched to Holsteins and ran the dairy farm until about 1968, when they auctioned off the cows and sold the quota. They then raised heifers until they moved into a condo in 1977. John passed away in 2003.
