Gideon's Farm When Gideon moved his family from Syder Co. PA to Schoolcraft MI, he purchased this land. There is an old foundation 200 yards east of where this house is currently located and it is believed that it was Gideon's and had been moved. It is also beleived that Gideon lost this farm to debts associated with his son's store. He moved to Goshen and lived with his son, James.
