Chas. H. Chesley has purchased another farm in Yucca valley, the California Baker farm, which corners on his other farm he purchased a few days ago. This makes Mr. C. a fine farm of 320 acres which cost him $1450 cash and he is justly proud of his purchase. A. H. Needham made and completed the sale. Mr. Needham has several other good farms and small ranches for sale.
Charles Henry Chesley (1828-1905) is my 2xg-grandfather on my father's paternal side. Arthur Herrick Needham (1831-1921) is my g-grandfather on my father's maternal side. This land deal took place in 1904. Also in 1904 Arthur Needham's daughter Mattie was a teacher and Charles Chesley's grandson Keith was her student. Ten years later, in 1914, Keith G. Walker (1894-1980) and Mattie M. Needham (1884-1938) ran off and became husband and wife.
More than just a land deal.
