| MAPLE STREET FARM, consisting
of one hundred and forty acres, is owned by J. W. Booker, whose address
is Genoa, R. F. D. Its location is on the Big Salmon Creek Road, seven miles
from Moravia and Locke respectively, twelve miles from Aurora, and eighteen
to Auburn. Here will be found a dairy, the products of which are conveyed
to Genoa, one mile distant. A large flock of Merino sheep, some fine horses,
and a well cultivated fruit orchard are features of the farm. The location
is claimed to be one of the best in the town, and is beautified by a row
of hardwood maples, which suggested the name, as here given. Its barns are
modern and well equipped for stock. There is a sixty-foot basement under
the main barn. Wells supply water for the residence, while springs and streams
furnish water for the farm and stock. Its timber consists of fifteen acres
of hard wood. The farm is ably managed, and ranks among the best of the town.
Its record of ownership names Daniel Whipple as a previous owner,
and from him to John Booker, who resided on and near the farm until
his death, when the title passed to his son, the present incumbent, who is
a native of the county, born in 1850. Mr. Booker married Matilda Weaver,
of Tomkins (sic) County, N. Y., in 1881. |
