10th, made fence north of Johnsons & Jno, Frank, Charley & myself cut & shocked oats on the 70. Moved our cattle from section 5 to the pasture by the 70. We have over 125 head of cattle now. Elmer DeLapp & Paul Doil are here today. Jno & Geo. drove Dandy (for the 1st time) to Utica.
So far, Jesse has mentioned Prince and Dandy as one work team, and Nell and Pete as a horse-mule team. Elmer DeLapp cannot be found in the 1900 federal census, but the DeLapp siblings lived and died in Iowa. There is also a Doyle family, Peter, Hattie, and son Paul Sheppherd Doyle, living in the same city. This Paul Doyle might have taken a trip with Elmer to visit George, Mary and Maggie DeLapp.
