on the section where he still resides, Aug. 25, 1892, the son of Thomas and

twentyone he rented the home farm, and a year later purchased 40 acres of
it. In 1915, he sold out, and bought 80 acres in Section 8, this township.
He renovated the house, remodelled some of the buildings, and made other
improvements. In the spring of 1921, he bought 80 acres in Section 18, in
the same township, and moved onto it. He successfully carries on general
farming and dairying, and has a good herd of graded Guernseys. He is doing
most excellent work as secretary and treasurer of the Farmers' Produce Co., of Almena, and is a stockholder in the Almena Telephone Co. and in the
Almena Shipping Association. In many other ways also he is taking his part
