A photograph of Philip V. DeDonder's house located at 17847 NW 62nd Street, near St. Mary's, Rossville Township, Pottawatomie County, Kansas. Vital (1846-1928) and Marie Joseph Lobert DeDonder (1842-1884) came to Shawnee County from Belgium and settled on 80 acres in Rossville Township, section 24, just southeast of St. Mary's, Kansas, on the Shawnee/Wabaunsee County border in the area known as "Sandy Hook." This land passed to Francis (1883-1931) and Anna Marie Germonprez DeDonder (1889-1982) in 1912 and eventually to their son Philip Vital (1917-1992).
