Residence by Proxy and the Homestead Rule Enforced
Rapid City Journal reports a land office decision by Commissioner S V Proudfit strict about bona fide residence on homestead claims. The case disallows proxy residence, noting the claimant moved his family in 1907 but did not physically reside until 1904 and showed minimal cultivation. The ruling warns against speculative filings and stresses personal entry, actual residence, and active cultivation as requirements for patenting land.
