Jasper County Democrat, Volume 13, Number 68, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 December 1910 — VISITING HERE FROM SO. DAKOTA. [ARTICLE]

VISITING HERE FROM SO. DAKOTA.

Mr. and Mrs. Jasper Kenton and daughter, Mrs. Meads and son, of Mitchel’, S. Dak., came Wednesday for a few days visit after which they will go to Oklahoma City and Wellston, S. Dak., —where Mr. Kenton’s sister, Mrs. J. C. Weathers, resides —and will spend the winter at either Oklahoma City or Wellston, the latter place being but twelve miles from Oklahoma City. They have been at Honey Creek, Wis., for the past three weeks visiting their son, Dr. C. B. Kenton, who is now located there in the practice of medicine, and is doing well. They came direct from there to Rensselaer. Mr. Kenton has sold all his land near Mitchell, but still retains his residence property in that city. He bought a section of land there six years ago for SIB,OOO and it has brought him in from $1,500 to $2,000 per year during this time in rentals. He sold it recently for $41,600, which includes the commission. After deducting the commission—which is pretty large in that locality—he has doubled his money about one and one-half times on the investment. All the former Jasperites are make big money on their land investments also. - • '
