its citizens, and his independent,
energetic spirit necessarily made
him conspicuous character in the
growth Of the county-not always
to his financial advantage, as the
writer remembers that in his early
days the DIR. lost so acres of good
land in promoting the building Of
the +. & |. Straightline r. r.
