Jasper County Democrat, Volume 6, Number 11, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 June 1903 — WESTWARD, HO! [ARTICLE]

WESTWARD, HO!

Quite a party left Tuesday for the west. The party was composed of D. A. Stoner, who goes to look at some land in Kansas which he is thinking of trading his mill property for; Geo. Scott and Mose Leopold, who go to Oklahoma City, Okla., to view the country o’er, and may locate somewhere thereabouts; I. A. Glazebrook, prospector; Charley Rishling, Bruce Hardy, Jerome Helmutb (of Mt. Ayr), and Misses Lizzie French and Gertrude Hopkins. Miss French went to join her parents at Hutchinson, Kan., while Mias Hopkins will visit at Garden City, Kan., and then go on to Denver, Col. At Chicago Frank O’Meara joined Mr. Stoner’s party—the party having divided up there, some going via one route and some another. Some of the party go to seek work, while others are prospecting, and will return in about another week.
