Five Days with the Yeomanry of the
County.
Tuesday morning the 27tli the
Plain Dkaler reporter started for
an extended interview of the hardy
sons of toil in various parts of the
county. After a pleasant interview
with Several of the farmers, we
reached the pleasant home and fami
ly of Wm. II. Ferrie, and were pleas
antly eutertained and dined with the
family at a hospitable, abundant and
delicious table. After making vari
ous pleasant and profitable calls along
the way, wo were overtaken by a
heavy down-pour of rain, and were
joined in a neighboring barn by E.
P. Farnsworth, who came there
astride his bike just in advance of the
rain, thus enabling both to become
better acquainted. Pursuing our
journey toward Eluia, we were pleas
autly reminded of the early days of
county by a call upon John Euright
and wife, who are quietly waiting at
their small but frugal houie for a
summons to the better land, which
we hope may be long deferred. As
the shades of evening came across
the sky we alighted at tho cheerful
hostelry in Elina, known to the North
west as the Darrow House, owned and
proprietored by that prince of enter
tainers, Mr. Kieron. The increasing
business of this house has induced
the proprietor to add to it a two story
addition 80x30. Along tlie route from
Cresco, the grain of all kinds is near
ly all in the stack and large quanti
ties threshed, with the buzz of the
thresher heard in all directions. The
small grain crop has been excellent
and is saved in fine condition. Corn
is good but needs generally two or
three weeks yet without frosts to
bring it to perfection.
Elma is making rapid strides in the
way of buildings for both residence
and business. Sulivau & Casliuian,
and Dr. Overfiell have united to
build a fine double building 50x80,
which will be used for drugs and
medicines by Dr. Overfield, and for
furniture by Sullivan & Cashmau.
The structure will be two stories with
basement, all of solid brick, and judg
ing from the pltins and sketches will
equal anything in the county.

Lem Potter is putting up a granite
block directly opposiie the Opera
House, the dimensions of whicn is
50x80, two stories with basement. The
granite for the entire structure was
obtained from one huge boulder split
out by Mr. Potter, who will be 75 in
October. Its completion will be as
much'better monument than mat
shaft that comemorates dee
The residence portion of Elma has
grown wonderfully in the past two
years, many of its'residence buildings
in style, size and finish being in all
respects as good and perfect as the
best in the county. Among those we
are pleased to note the new home of
James Hall aud his excellent wife,
which they will occupy in a few days.
From Elma our route was through
the town of Afton by the way of our
old and excellent ex-supervisor, Tlios.
Sullivan, and with his family and
thatof his son, D. J. Sullivan, a most
pleasant and social hour was passed
ut the diuner table. In passing
through, the abscence of the faces
and voices which greeted us about
forty years ago was painfully noted,
as also the fact that the places which
knew them then shall know them no
more forever.
A drive through the section devas
tated by tlie cyclone nearly one year
ago, would hardly suggest to a person
that nearly everything was swept
away then, and many persons more
or less injured, and tome killed. The
Cashmau boys, Jerry and Win were
in the path of the storm, and severely
damaged, but no trace of its effects
remain, while the home of Mr. lvru
ger which was entirely swept awav
aud his wife and child seriously hurt,
is replaced with fine modern resi
dence aud barns, and happily his wife
and child are recovered from their
injuries.
At Lowther, (Acme postoflice), the
Store and postoilice, the school house
and every thing, was blown away, dis
troyed and lost. The store lias been
rebuilt, another has come to the
plaoe, likewise a blacksmith shop.
The creamery which was destroyed
hus never been repaired. Albert
Stevens owns aud conducts a large
farm to the east of the town aud Jer
ry Casliuian on the west. Tlie eleva
tor and grain buying is carried on by
Mr. Casliuian.
As the shades of evening gathered
about us we approached the home .of
Mr. and Mrs. -James Irvin, where" a
hearty welcome with good cheer
awaited us. In June. 18(50, our first
visit was made to this beautiful and
lovely ferove and home then occupied
by the parents of Mr. Irvin, long since
gone to their eternal rest. Our mis
sion then was taking the United
States census and the day we were
there we started from New Oregon in
the moruing, took the entire census
of Howard Center, ^Saratoga, James
town aud the two families in Afton,
that of the Irvin's and of a Mr. Jones
residing near them. In 1800 the Irvin
homestead consisted of uu humble
100 acres. The farm of James Irvin
now consists of some 700 acres upou
which this year he harvested325 acres
of small .grain, 125 acres of timothy
seed, has 100 acres in corn aud about
.109 acres of pasture, beside his
meadowlaud.
Friday noon found us at the home
of John H. Cashman where a superb
dinner awaiting his family was gen
erously shared by the writer, and the
time pleasantly passed in recalliu
memories of the past-, when we first
knew his parents in Dubuque county,
'John H. is just luiviug an elegaut

Accepting the invitation of Truman
Robison to tarry with him and his
wife, with whom our acquaintance
began in 1859, and has been pleasant
ever since, we were pleasantly enter
tained in recalling the many incidents
of the years gone by, in which they
aud the writer have been participants
in the affairs of the county.
A brief call at the home of Daniel
Fallgatter recalled our first mcetiug
with Aug. Fallgatter, on a Milwau
kee train in Wisconsin, bound for
Iowa in search of a home. We told
him of superior quality and the beau
ty of the lands of Gen. Jones in our
county, induced him to come by stage
from McGregor to New Oregon, took
hiiu to our home to keep him out of
the way of other land dealers, pro
cured a livery ami took him to view
the lands which were bought by him,
the quality and price being accepta
ble. His return to Wisconsin result
ed in the German emigration to that
section and the sale to them of most
of Gen. Jones' lands in that section
of the county..
Saturday morning headed for
Cresco, we took the road from Ehu.i,
leading to Saratoga, along the route
calling upon tlie thrifty Germau
farmers who have recently located
along that road, coming from Bremer
county. Among them were Mr. Un
ger, who is preparing to build a house
the foundation of which is being put
in, another like improvement but the
name of the owner we did not learn,
then at the line new residence of E.
