JEWELL #1 COUNTY REPUBLICAN 21 APR 1882 D.A. Atkins has a good farm in Sec. 24, well improved and in a fair state of cultivation. His orchards and lawns are covered with a thick mat of blue grass, a rare sight in Kansas, but a powerful argument in favor of tame grass seeding. We believe blue grass will grow well here if properly seeded. Mr. Atkins has an unusually full assortment of fruit on his place; he can supply his table in the fruit season with apples, peaches, plums, grapes, and all kinds of berries possible to grow in Kansas. His prospects for a fruit crop this season are excellent; has a great number of the best varieties of forest trees growing around him, all health and vigorous. This farm is for sale, and can be bought at a reasonable price considering the improvements.
JC REPUBLICAN, 26 SEPT 1913, Neighboring Counties items, pg 4: D.A. Atkins informs us that a son was born to his granddaughter, Mrs. Applebee, at Mayview the 10th, and that he is now a great-grandfather. He says it makes him feel pretty old, but one would never suspect it to see or hear him. -- Cawker LEDGER
