that when they have a chance to at
tend social and educational meetings
they are more contented than they
would be if they we're kept at home
by the bad roads. ,@@5.
There is also the cooperative value
of good roads because. without the
good roads, the farmer and his city
brother would have no chance to get
together and talk it over
If a good road was between every
farm and market instead of the bad
ones that now exist in most localities
of this state, the good road would be
paying dividends instead of doing as
the bad one is, namely, eating up
profits.
In conclusion I would say that bad
roads hold the farmer in bondage
while good roads are the very founda'

Gretna Cobler's Great
Grandfather Made Ot-
tumwa County Seat
of Wapello

Dear juniors:
I like to read the stories In The
Courier Junior. I have never written
one before. but thought I would tell
about nv grandfather and great grand
father.
My great grandfather, Lewis Cobler
was born in Adams county Ohio. IN
1910. In 1928 he went to Indiana where
he located on farm on the Wabash
river near Lafayette and remained
there about fifteen years.
In 1888 he married and in 1S4S with
his family came to Wapello county. a.,
where at the opening Of the New Pur :
chase" he entered a quarter section or
land in Dahlonega and Highland town
ships. NY grandfather. David Cobler'
was born in Tippecanoe county. Ind
lana October %, 1887 and came to
iowa with his parents in 1S43 when
only a boy seven years old. He had five
sisters and Is the only one living now
In the family.
They brought twenty nine head of
horses, five spans yoke oxen and
twenty nine head of sheep with them
across the Mississippi river on boat
and landed at Keokuk. My grandfather
in 1851 bought one-half section of
land in Highland township on which he
has lived ever since my father was
born. Father was raised on this place
and am now living on it myself.
NY great grandfather was the cause
of Ottumwa being the county seat of
between Dahlonega and Ottumwa. They
came after him and told him he had to
go and vote to settle it and he voted
for Ottumwa. ..-
