FORMER RESIDENTS OF JASPER

All Doing Well in Their New Homes In the East. Judge Hanley was quite favorably impressed with the country about Sugar Grove, Pa., and western New York where quite a number of Jasper county people are now located. On his recent automobile trip there to visit Mrs. Hanley’s brother, "Jakie” Hopkins, they also called on Mrs. Ed Peck and family, formerly of Remington, J. A. Keister and Ira Brown, formerly of Jordan township, and John M. Knapp, who for several years was engaged in the livery business here. All are apparently doing fine and have nice homes and good farms. Mr. ■ Hanley says that John Knapp especially has a beautiful place near Panama, N. Y., and is nicely fixed there. J. A. Keister also has a fine farm that Is nicely Improved, and he told Mr. Hanley that he had made more money in the last three years than he had made before in all the rest of his life.
