RENvILLE COUNTY'S OLDEST
LAND DEALER 95 YEARS OLD

Mrs. Mathilde White, said to be
the first Minnesota woman real estate
dealer, and resident of the state for
70 years, celebrated her 95th birth
day anniversary at her home in Nor
ton last Sunday.
Coming to Minnesota from Ger
many with her husband in 1853, Mrs.
White realized that there was money
in buying and selling land even in
those pioneer days. Her husband,
who was carpenter, sought work in
his field while Mrs. White remained
at home with view of taking care of
the farm upon which the couple had
settled.
However, she followed her first
thought and began dealing in farm
lands, purcasing small tracts and lat
ter selling them to new settlers of
the community. In this small way
she laid the foundation of a business
which later flourished and which re-
suited in considerable wealth.
She told Of deals she handled which
netted her as high as $1,000 profit.
She said that the land she sold settl-
ers has more than tripled in value in
some sections, while other tracts
doubled in value fourfold.
"Once," she said, ga buyer come to
our home and my husband same to
me and suggested that we sell at a
certain price, asserting the man would
not pay any more. l objected and af-
ter talking to the prospect less than
a minute had closed the deal for $500
more than was originally offered.
That was the only time that / actual
ly made $500 in one minute"
Mr.. Witte died a year ago and Mrs.
Witte resides with daughter at Nor
ton.-Olivia Times.
