Edward cash-claimed a quarter in 9, 5N 46W in 1891, next to the Bingaman claims of 1891.
There's not an image, so it is possible that the name is incorrect.
W.H. House owned that land in 1920, but there wasn't a residence on it. .
W.H. also had two quarters a mile north, and H. E. House one quarter.
