Bowen & Co., Chicago, Ill. --------------------------------------- Norman G. Croall Norman G. Croall is a native of Edinburgh, Scotland, where he was born on May 30, 1869. He came to the United States in 1900, locating at Colorado, where he was actively engaged in the stock industry and general farming in the Plateau country in Mesa county. In 1903 he purchased the ranch on which he is now located, near Emma, Pitkin county, and which formerly belonged to Mr. Chatfield. It comprises two hundred and forty acres, all of which can be profitably cultivated, and produces hay, potatoes and fruit in abundance. One of its special features of interest and value is an excellent orchard of eighteen acres set out in fine fruit trees now in good bearing order. The ranch has a first-class water right appertaining to it, and is considered the best in the valley in which it lies. It is known as the Hermiston ranch and has a wide and well-earned reputation for the excellence of its products and its vast resources of productiveness. =================================================== Contributed for use by the USGenWeb Archive Project (http://www.usgenweb.org) and by the COGenWeb Archive Project USGENWEB NOTICE: These electronic pages may NOT be reproduced in any format for profit or presentation by other organization or persons.
