Mr. Robert Rutherord Roais

pleasant call. Mr .Rutherford is

In 1854 he emigrated to the Uaite^
States and worked foir many years
foh- a farmer in H.llnoia at $14peij

,was married and Hater moved to
Poweshe'ik County, Iowa. After rar
siding there a few yars he moved
his family In the yeair 1882 tohia
present farm near Ross, Iow^,
where he raised his childlren lv
what was then, a sparsely settled
frontier County. Audubon at
time had the only railroad in thi3
County, and was some sits mdleS
distant, but the No»rth.western lins
had been surveyed rom' CarroBH,
to Audubon and work had been cot
imenceti.
When completed it brought a mast
kot for his produce withan two and
half miles flrom his door. Mr. R«

acre for it today, so valuable has)
become Audubon Conty land) and
prosperous the times. As age crep4)
