Glenn Ruble, left, talks with Ron Remakel as Remakel’s barn burns to the ground Saturday during a controlled burn at his residence just west of Albert Lea. Ruble’s great-grandfather, John Ruble, built the barn in the mid- to late 1800s. Both men said it had to be one of the oldest barns in Freeborn County.
