      Along with the 120 acres William owned at his farm, he also owned what was referred to as Stutz Field. It was north past the old Evangelical Cemetery, over the bridge and up the hill. The south line of Stutz field was a clump of trees to the west. The field ran north and west past the trees for 60 acres.
