George Cary resides about one mile north from Curby upon a good quarter
section that he purchased from the railroad. His farm is supplied with a
fine residence, barn, and other buildings, while it is well fenced and is one
of the valuable places in this section. In addition to general farming, Mr.
Cary devotes muck skilled attention to raising fruit and has met with a 
gratifying success in the labors bestowed in that line. He is also a large
