MR. G. w. HAHN'S HOME 



Mr. G. W. Hahn the subject of this sketch, 

 came to Yuma, Colo, in the spring of 1910 and 

 filed his homestead claim on 160 acres of land 6 

 miles northeast of Yuma, Colo. Coming from 

 eastern Nebraska, with a very modest amount of 

 money that he had accumulated by several years' 

 renting land, Mr. Hahn came there with the idea 

 that he could at least make a living for his family 

 and have a home of his own. After learning 

 something of the possibilities of the right kind of 

 tillage in growing trees, crops and vegetables, he 

 got busy. 



Mr. Hahn has made a success of wheat and other 

 crops and is now quite well supplied with hogs 

 and cattle. In 1914 his 40 acre summer tilled 

 field of winter wheat averaged 41| bushels per 

 acre. But Mr. Hahn has turned some of his 

 good judgment to another line, that of having a 

 real home with not only civilized but beautiful 

 surroundings.
