Evening Republican, Volume 23, Number 55, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 March 1920 — OLD FAMILIES LEAVE; NEW ONES COME [ARTICLE]

OLD FAMILIES LEAVE; NEW ONES COME

Elmer Matheny and family left for Granger/ Ind., Tuesday, and will make their future home on a farm near that place. The exodus among our rural residents has been quite heavy this winter, and it Js with regret that the county watches the departure of so many substantial residents who are lured to other farming centers. However, the county has also gained several new families within the past few weeks and there is no immediate danger of any untenanted farms in a farming region as fertile as ours. Among the new comers within the past two days are 'Charles Woodward and family, who came here from Ohio and who will occupy a farm six miles south of Rensselaer. William E. Marion, who left Jasper county about three years ago to move on a farm near Reynolds, has returned and will be the tenant on the Jack Lawler farm which Adam Nagle recently vacated. Mr. Marion feels that there is no place like Jasper county. Rex Ott is another of our young farmers who is soon to leave for Michigan where he will do his future fanning.
