      The home of Dr. George O. Emerson, an old country doctor, back in the horse and buggy days. There are several older people in this area, that tell me that Dr. Emmerson was their doctor in child birth. Mr. F. A. Keatts went to Dr. Emmerson when he was a small child. At one visit to the doctor, he remembers a man in a field nearby plowing with two oxeen. Most pioneer settlers had oxen and alter came the mule, horse and then the big tractor, and long gone is the oxen. (photo of home) Remembrances, by James 'Pops' Osborne 2005 Volume VI Cascade Area.
