Modern Residence and Self Reliant Farm at Magnolia
A. B. Wilson of Magnolia township, Bureau county, retired farmer, built a luxurious modern home on his 160 acre farm and rents it to a trusted tenant who handles all chores. The tenant milks three cows, supplies milk and butter, and sells poultry with half earnings. Wilson may be away freely. The house features hot water heat, gas lighting, dual water pressure systems, a vitrified tile sewer, and extensive rooms. The Wilsons claim the project cost far less than a city equivalent. Pioneer Clover Grover notes their long history with clover crops and the farm’s early adoption of clover sowing in Illinois.
