Fifty years ago there were two fairly
we'll to do farmers, who lived in the north
part of this town, under the shadow of the
mountains east and west of the valley
through which runs the railroad-a thing
not dreamed of in those days - who
were raising up large family of boys and
girls. To-day the places where those men
lived are badly run down, and come as
near being on the list of abandoned farms
as anything in this section. We refer to
the families of Mr. Russell and Mr.. Childs.
