bought from Mr. Dunham in 1884, are now in the 

 stud of William Bond, Newark, Cal. 



A. F. McKee was at one time bookkeeper for Mark 

 W. Dunham. When he left to engage in farming in 

 Missouri he bought some of the Oaklawn mares and 

 also took a few on lease. He was not especially suc- 

 cessful however, and his Percherons lacked develop- 

 ment. 



D. Braymer was a stock-farmer who bought a few 

 Percherons from Oaklawn Farm about 1883. He 

 bred but few animals, but was a very good judge of 

 horses and his selections were above the average. 

 He obtained as one of his sires Luther 1272 (1384), 

 an extraordinarily good stock horse, but unfortun- 

 ately chestnut in color. 



Other States. — Of progress elsewhere some de- 

 tails might be given, but for the most part opera- 

 tions had only fairly begun in the other states and 

 territorities at the end of this epoch. They can 

 more fittingly be dealt with later.
