Notes for George Bennington ELLIOTT

George B. Elliott, of Barney, North Dakota, held a patent on the Draft Equalizer, filed on July 30, 1906. A draft equalizer, for those who are too far removed from the days of horse-drawn wagons to remember, is the beginning of the long pole to which the "whippletree" or "singletree" is attached. As George's descendant Miriam Troy says, "For those who have seen a Budweiser Wagon with its six-horse hitch, the pole in the middle is a draft equalizer."
In a cemetery west of town. Wyndmere itself is a little west of the town of Wahpeton.
