MICHAEL DOCKENDORF FAMILY

The Dockendorf’s purchased their farm of seventy seven and one half acres in March of 1911, from Jonathan Royce, which was adjacent to the Royce farm. It was located one-fourth mile north of Royce Road, on what is now Barkdoll Road.

Michael and Barbara were both born in the Marywood area formerly called “Big Woods.” They farmed in this area briefly before moving to Naperville. They raised one son, Edward. The farm was sold in March of 1942, and the family moved to Aurora.
