Our subject remained with his parents until he arrived at the years of his majority, and the following two seasons he herded cattle and then bought a quarter-section of wild land, upon which he made some improvements, and three years later sold and bought the place he now occupies, which consisted of forty acres of partly improved land. He now has substantial buildings, fine shade trees and three hundred apple trees. His present farm consists of one hundred and fifty-six acres, one hundred of which are under the plow. All he possesses, he has made by his own exertions.
