C. E. Aber Back Home
C. E. Aber returned from Kansas and Oklahoma April 2nd. He
went to Clay county in the former state about a year ago to take care
of his wife's father, G. A. Peterson, who died there Feb. 16th, at the
age of nearly ninety-one years. The old man settled there fourty years
ago, and had
only 25 cents left after proving up on his homestead; but had since
accumulated a comfortable competence in money and lands. After his
death Mr. Aber visited with a brother-in-law in Oklahoma. The latter
with his two sons and sons-in-law raised 900 acres of wheat last year,
which kept them busy about six months of the time, plowing, sowing,
harvesting and marketing. They had 18 inches of show there March 20th,
which insures a good wheat crop again this year.
