Decatur County Journal
Leon, Iowa
Thursday, November 13, 1913
CHARLES HACKER, one of Decatur County's hustling young farmers, has just returned from a trip to Pine Bluff, Wyoming, and has announced that he has purchased the claim of J.L. GARDNER, of Leon, lying near the city of Pine Bluff, and will move thereon in the spring. The GARDNER land is within ten miles of Pine Bluff and the farm is composed of 320 acres of splendid land.
Mr. GARDNER, who has been residing upon the claim for some time, will probably return to his home here. Mr. HACKER purchased 700 bushels of oats and 200 bushels of wheat that Mr. GARDNER had raised this year and had stored in his granaries . A good part of the land is in cultivation and a considerable amount of fall wheat has been sown. Mr. HACKER has sold his 160 acre farm northwest of Leon, disposing of eighty acres to his father, JOHN F. HACKER, and eighty acres to CLEM THOMPSON. Mr. HACKER is to hold a closing out sale soon, announcement of which will appear in the next issue of the Journal. The many friends of the family are indeed sorry to see them leave but the good wishes of everyone will follow them to their new location
in the west.
