Pioneer Rutherford Farm Highlighted In Aurelia Visit
During a brief Aurelia stay the writer toured Rutherford’s western Cherokee county farm. Rutherford, a pioneer since 1870, built a 675 acre operation with 280 acres of residence land, a 60x120 horse barn, 40x60 cattle barns, and 20x60 tool shed. He farms 300 acres this season, raises stock including Clyde stallions, fattens 10–12 carloads of cattle yearly, and reports strong crop prospects.
