Aged Couple, Former Residents, Return to Jasper County.

Mr. and Mrs. George Hensler of Carpenter tp., returned Wednesday from a visit with the latter’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Dewey, of Elroy, Wis., who accompanied them home and will probably spend the remainder of their days in Jasper county. Mr. Dewey, who is now 83 years old and nearly blind, sold his farm south of Rensselaer, just over the line in Jordan tp., a few years ago and bought out in South Dakota, the children who were still at home accompaning him there. They were unfortunate in locating in a dry belt and they raised practically nothing in all the time they stayed there, and the proceeds of the sale of his farm were pretty well used up. He traded his Dakota land for a farm in Wisconsin, we understand, where they have been living the past year or more. They have several children residing in this county and it is likely they will live with some of them from now on.
