He next entered eighty acres of timber and eighty
acres of prairie, then he and an uncle together
entered eighty acres of timber. Deer and turkeys were
plentiful, and the two first years these people
depended on the rifle for their meat. A few Indians

in the ground, and indicated where th main body of
them had wintered. These were within a stone's throw
of Mr. Alenduff's door-yard. Mr. Alenduff was married
