According to an article found at the Lackawanna Historical Society, "Mrs. Davidson continued to live on the farm until her death and it was sold in 1945 to Adolphus Hohensee."
According to numerous newspaper articles, Adolphus Hohensee was a known and convicted quack in the medical field, as was his brother a fraud in the legal profession.

What exactly happened in 1945? Does anybody have those documents?
