Jasper County Democrat, Volume 5, Number 24, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 September 1902 — RENICKER FARM AGAIN SOLD. [ARTICLE]

RENICKER FARM AGAIN SOLD.

pxWoodin & Agate, the Foreeman real estate dealers, have sold the old Renicker farm of 160 acres in Barkley tp., owned by Joseph Bowden, of this city, to Mr. Staufenberg, of Illinois, consideration S6O per acre. Mr. S. will not move here the coining year at least, but will probably rent it to Horatio Ropp, the present tenant. The sale of this farm again is a fair sample of the rapid raise in value of Jasper county real estate, especially in this vicinity. Two years ago Ellis Jones of Remington, bought this same farm for SSO per acre. He got one crop then sold it to Robert Randle at $45 per acre. In abont two months Mr. Randle sold to Mr. Bowden at $55 per acre. The latter has had one crop and now sells at S6O per acre. Here is a rise of S2O per acre in two years.
