 While living in Minneapolis, George had purchased the northeast quarter of section 11 here, knowing that a town would soon be located in this vicinity.George must have heard some talk in Minneapolis about the railroad coming this way and he even knew the route of the rails’ path.When the railroad did come here, George owned the land and he deeded an undivided one-half interest in 150 acres of his land to the railroad company to plat a town upon.
