Glenwood Township Plat Map (1905)

The 1905 Winneshiek County plat map shows B. B. SANDER as having bought 40 acres in Section 27 of Glenwood township.

Also of interest in this map is that in Section 21 one can find the old Sander homestead, now owned by Henrietta (Bernt's older sister) and Gustav Johnson. Over in the SW part of Section 13 is 60 acres owned by Sigvart Webjornson (later Williams). Their children were Lillie Viola Johnson and Walter Didrik Williams respectively, who were my grandparents.
