RECENT MOVES AND CHANGES

May 1 Marked by Many Moves by Waupaca Residents

 

            May was marked by the usual number of changes in location by residents of Waupaca and vicinity.  A number of these is occasioned by transfer of farm and city property through exchange or purchase.

            Ben Peterson has moved from the Herrmann house, West Fulton Street, to the H. Felker house, Jefferson Street.

            Clarence Barton has moved from the Beardmore house, Fulton Street, to the Kurtz house in the adjoining block.

            William Whittington has moved from the Kurtz house to the George Niles residence, Center Street.

            Orlando Anderson has moved from the Niles house, Center Street, to the Alfred Olson residence, Elm Street.

Sales and Exchanges

            It is reported that W.E. Wagner has sold his bungalow on West Union Street to B. Luginani and will build this summer on a lot in the same neighborhood.

Rasmussen Sells Farm

            J.P. Rasmussen has sold his 115-acre farm in Farmington to E.W. Smith of this city.  The latter’s son, Henry Smith, has already taken possession of the farm and Mr. Rasmussen has moved into the residence formerly occupied by the late Ole Rasmussen on School Street.

C. Parker Trades Farms

            Chester Parker has exchanged his one hundred sixty acre farm near Rural for a similar sized tract three miles east of Abbotsford and lying in Marathon county.   Arthur Bauer is the other party in the deal and will take possession of the Parker farm at once.  Mr. parker shipped his household goods Tuesday.  His new farm is very near the farm secured last December by Frank Murton in exchange for the Granite hotel in this city.  Allen Davis also has a farm in a neighboring district which he took in exchange for his Dayton farm.  All three deals were made through the Chr. J. Miller real estate agency in this city.

Wm. Suits Sells Farm

            William Suits has sold his farm at Maple Grove to his son, Ed Suits, who has returned from Seattle, Washington, where he has been for several years.

To Engage in Coal Business

            A.W. Warren has purchased the coal sheds south of the Peterson Produce Company warehouse which were built by Bailey and McLean about three years ago and will order a large supply of coal for early delivery in an effort to have a large supply of fuel on hand at the beginning of another winter.  Mr. Warren has been handling feeds, hay and alfalfa for several years, and has a number of horses that may well do some additional work if only the supply of fuel can be procured before it may be needed.
