ALFRED L. POWELL

ALFRED L. POWELL, was born January 22, 1859, in Peoria County, Illinois, and
came to Kansas in 1880. He first located in Jefferson County where he lived for
a number of years. Most of the time he was in the threshing business and made
his first trip to Barton County in 1900. He did not locate in this county until
1903 and since that time he has done a large part of the threshing work in this
part of the state. He was married in 1880 to Miss Lou M. Cahill in Stark County,
Illinois and they are the parents of three children: Gertrude, 30 years of age,
is now Mrs. E. H. Rulison of Eskridge, Kansas; Frank B., 26 years of age is a
resident of the city of Great Bend and is a carpenter by trade; Pearl, 21 years
of age, is living at home. Mr. Powell and family occupy a residence at 700
Stone. Mr. Powell's threshing outfits consist of the very best of machinery and
his services are in great demand during the harvest season in this and adjoining
counties. It was during Mr. Powell's first trip to this county that he decided
to make this his future home and he at once made arrangements for the transfer
of his machinery, etc., from Jefferson County. Since that time he has been
closely identified with the farming interests of Barton County and he has always
been an enterprising citizen.
