Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 22, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 January 1913 — Proved Up Claim in West; Returning to Old Jasper. [ARTICLE]

Proved Up Claim in West; Returning to Old Jasper.

Mrs. Hamlin H. Smith and three children returned this Saturday morning from Mt. Pearl, Colo., and Mr. Smith will arrive with his car of goods in a few days. They went to the west a little more than three years ago and took a claim of 320 acres near Wild Horse. They have proved this up and will keep it for the time, at least, but decided to return to Jasper county to live. Mr. Smith expects to rent a farm in Jasper county. For the present they will be with his father, Jeff Smith, west of town.
