Notes for William Lafayette "Lafe" COLLINGS

General Note
Residences & events:

Mercer Co, MO.

Pembina, ND. Their move was reported by the newspaper: "Ten families

left Mercer County this week to make their homes in the far north.

Pembina, the northeast county of North Dakota, bordering on the

Canadian line, is their destination, where they expect to find

prosperity in the small grain belt. (Following a complete listing of

the names of the families, the story continued.) With these men and

their families, go fifteen cars of household goods, farm implements

and stock. Some ship out of Princeton, others from Mercer and

cainsville. They all expect to meet at Des Moines and go on a special

train from that point."

Mercer Co, MO. Apparently the north country didn't work out so they

returned home.

E Fields and Rev J.D. Cooper officiating.
