Higgins (see page 29 of the PDF), and; - A 1913 agreement between Fayette and Ada Thomas and Arthur C. Furguson to rent a boathouse and ice harvesting boats and facilities to Arthur provided he served no intoxicating drinks and ran a respectable establishment. In addition, the ledger lists Thomas/Higgins farm receipts and expenses from 1902 to 1945 on pages 4 to 24 of the PDF. This entry also includes some Thomas Farm-related photos.
