4. <br />5. <br />6. <br />7. <br />8. <br />9. <br />10. <br />Woodhill Avenue entered the Woodhill property near the original bams and <br />farmhouse. Woodhill Avenue was the original entrance into the farm. <br />My cousin, Leo Feser, worked initially at the Orono Golf Course and then <br />worked at Woodhill Country Club from the 1920's to the early 1950 ’s. I began <br />working with Leo at the Orono Golf Course as a teenager and then continued <br />to be employed by the Orono Golf Course until December 1941 when I <br />enlisted. <br />In the 1930’s, I worked on rebuilding one of the barns at the Woodhill Country <br />Club that had burned. It is my understanding that the barn was built by the <br />Fendersons, who were the original owners. The Fendersons sold to Keesling <br />who sold to Dunwoody. The barn that I rebuilt In the early 1930's is the bam <br />that still stands today. <br />Throughout my work at Orono Golf Course and the Woodhill Country Club, I <br />regularly traveled on Woodhill Avenue. Woodhill Avenue was regularly used <br />by Woodhill members and guests, as well as by commercial and delivery <br />vehicles. <br />Woodhill Avenue today from Orono Orchard to the Woodhill Country Club <br />bam follows the same route as it did in the period from the 1 920’s to the <br />1970*s. <br />Norman Clark was the original golf pro at Woodhill Country Club. He lived in <br />the house on the southeast comer of the intersection of Orono Orchard Road <br />and Woodhill Avenue. Every day he would commute from his home to <br />Woodhill Country Club using Woodhill Avenue. <br />Once inside the Woodhill property just east of Woodhill Avenue, there was a <br />stable master’s house and then the original farm house. Over the years, both <br />houses were occupied by various Woodhill Country Club employees and their <br />families. Woodhill Avenue was the common way of access to both houses. <br />After the war, I was employed by an oil company in Wayzata. I worked there <br />until my retirement. As part of my duties for the oil company, I delivered fuel <br />oil to Woodhill Country Club. As part of my regular route, I would drive to the <br />Club and then drive the delivery truck out Woodhill Avenue to the two houses <br />at Orono Orchard Road and Woodhill Avenue. After filling the Norman Clark <br />house. I filled the house on the north side of Woodhill Avenue at Orono <br />Orchard Road. I also recall seeing lumber trucks and bread delivery trucks on <br />Woodhill Avenue. <br />Doc« U19616\l
