The Ben Feldewert farm on Guthrie Road near Josephville diminishes yearly, now spanning 190 acres of the original 640 granted to David Conrad in 1803 under a Spanish Land Grant. The property sits along the watershed and reflects long term land division.
The article traces the Peruque farm’s ownership from Richard Love to Ephraim Kile, Frank Feldewert, and the Kile and Feldewert families, noting house expansion, slave memories, and local forestry work. It highlights Ben Feldewert’s youth on the property, CCC involvement, race to improve terraces, and long service in regional organizations. A Tulsa scene closes with Indian Artist George Standingbear stomping wasps in a torchlit display.
