A. R. (Rangley) Hadfield was born in Waukeshau, Wisconsin. His family later moved to Osage, Iowa. Rangley left home at a young age and drove a freight wagon in Colorado, dressed game for the railroad and participated in a cattle drive from Texas to Colorado.
He came to Nance County around 1876 and purchased a quarter of land in Loup Ferry Township, south of North Star. He bought a grasshopper breaking plow to work his land and helped other farmers to break the sod on their land earning money in this fashion to pay for his quarter and two additional quarters which he acquired.
Rangley married Jessie O. Burke on December 22, 1883. Their five children were Gwendolyn Maybon, Georgie Coakley, Aaron, Ruby Grafft, and Clifford.
Though Rangley was essentially a farmer, he never lost his love for livestock. He had a large herd of cattle and the best horses and mules in the area.
In 1910, Rangley moved to Fullerton and a home was built at 506 Reynolds now owned by Dr. Donn Simonson. Aaron and later Clifford farmed the home place. Clifford lives in Fullerton, with his wife Emma Alvina, daughter of Hans Frenzen. Clifford and Emma have two children, Mrs. Robert (Wynona) Forbes of Palmer, Nebraska, and Clifford Douglas of Belgrade, Nebraska.
