      John Joseph Wild died Feb 1900 and Valentine Wild took possession in 1900 upon his father's death. Valentine married Bridget Agnes O'Sullivan in 1907.

      Upon Valentine's passing, Agnes took over the farm in 1929. In 1948 the farm was passed to their son John P. Wild and his wife Anne Bedard.

      John and Anne passed the farm was passed to Joseph Peter Wild in 1986.

      This farm has been in the family for well over a century; celebrating 174 years in 2021 and will be celebrating 175 years in 2022.
