Eugene Kepler, a lumberman, and 16 other men in Sheridan
Township, Newaygo County, Michigan.
While serving as foreman in the lumber camp on the David SQUIER

home.

2S-2R not far from where they lived. This land was prairie --
virgin Blue Stem sod, no improvements, not a fence or anything.

their new real estate.
