Frank "Franz" Ferdinand Barkmeier owned an 80 acre farm southeast of Exeter, Nebraska, in the Exeter Township in Fillmore County. The farm was immediately east of the 80 acre farm of Franz's brother, George Henry Barkmeier, and his wife, Anna Catharine (Wiszmann) Barkmeier. The farm site was located one and a quarter miles east of the intersection on the road that continues straight east of Exeter on Highway 6 before the S-shaped curve, then one mile south and another half mile east on the south side of the road.
