Years Ago

Years Ago
Fred Hamilton. Of Wiggins, Colo,
field man for the Crescent Mill and Els-
vator Co., Of Denver, was in Keota two
or three days last week, for the first
time since he moved away a. . boy,
about twenty-five years ago. At the
time he lived here, which was during
the first settlement, and shortly after
the railroad was built, his father, A. c.
Hamilton had small store and post
office on the lot now occupied by the
w. R. Stewart store. There was also
q section house, probably the one still
standing, the we'll and water tank, q
building used ~ Office Of surveyor and
locator, and good small depot, which
was later moved away. Much Of the
surrounding country had been taken up
under the old timber-claim law, which
did not require residence, and 30 the
country was sparsely settled. Some Of
the sntrymen obtained patents by COM
mutation or otherwise; but the greater
number abandoned their places follow
ing two dry seasons, and hardships to
which they were not accustomed. The
cream check was unknown in those
days: chickens and hogs were not kept
in any number. and no opportunity was
afforded the settlers to work In the To-
cality OF In neighboring communities,
- is enjoyed at present. Few Of the
settlers had farm experience, and dry
farm methods had not been developed,
30 that it was practically impossible
then to make living here. The Ham
ilton store was the only one between
Grover and Raymsr. Mr.. Hamilton Or.
had timber claim on what Il now the
Ed Wise place. and filing on the Wild
Horse springs, northeast Of town, but
abandoned both when he removed to
Orchard. Colo. Later the family moved
to Longmont, where the father died
about eight years ago. While here last
week, Mr.. Hamilton went out to the
Wise place, whore he found the old
we'll. and trace Of the buildings which
had existed on It at the time Of his resi-
dence here. He remembers . Sunday
School picnic held at Pawnss Buttes.

school, and . school entertainment held

what was then the Davis neighborhood,
