This has been a season in which
many persons of extreme old age
have died. Sew eral in Grant county
have gone, after finishing more than
90 years, but Richland county
has furnished the most extremely old
person. Last week jeremiah Ding
man died, over in the southwestern
part of Richland, at the extreme old
age of 101 years, Z months and q
days. He was born in Saratoga
county, N. Y, July 20, 1913, and
came to Richland county in the year
1856, and has resided there since.
He served in the civil war. He
Joined the M. E. church at the age
of 85, and was all his life a highly
respected citizen.
j. w. Myers. Boice Creek coun-
try, was in The Herald Office recently
and we had little talk with him re-
garding land values in his vicinity.
He said he knew of a farm that
changed hands a few years ago at
what he thought was good figure.
1t is a good farm all right, and the
price then was good; but the owner
of it had a chance to sell the same
farm a year ago at an advance of
$40, 600 over the price he paid for
it a few years ago. And he said
there were only about 280 acres in
that farm. This seems to be about
the average of farm values in that
section, and it tells the story of the
advances made in values down there.
