Although Austin and family resided in Minneapolis, he owned farmland in Mantorville, Dodge County, Minnesota which he rented out. News items in the Mantorville Express commented yearly on visits that occurred as he checked on his property from 1880 to 1894.
Mr. and Mrs. Austin Farnsworth of Minneapolis, came down this week to attend the reunion of the Bartholomew family, and to look after their property at this place. Mr. Farnsworth thinks times will be harder in the city the coming winter than last.
