Decatur County Journal Leon, Iowa Thursday, November 23, 1911 Tuesday J.W. WASSON traded his residence property in southeast Leon to CLAY HARRIS for the DODGE SEARS farm of 130 acres five miles northeast of Leon. Mr. WASSON already owns the SIM EVANS farm of 175 acres joining it on the north and this makes him a half section of land all in one body and within a very short distance of Leon. Mr. HARRIS will move from the farm to Leon as soon as he holds a sale. He will become an assistant to his father and brothers in the conducting of the monument works. Mr. and Mrs. WASSON will move to the farm just acquired as soon as Mr. And Mrs. HARRIS vacate. They will put the place in the best of condition and will make their home there. The exchange of properties seems one of special advantage to all parties concerned and is most satisfactory to them. The farm is an excellent one and is near Leon. It will make a splendid home for Mr. And Mrs. WASSON. Mr WASSON's property went into the deal at $3,700 and the farm at $75 per acre ------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert December 15, 2009 [email protected]
