Ed and Susie (Forgey) Miller Take Over Grasshopper Hill From Susie’s Parents

1889

Same year Elmer’s sister Aimee was born. Elmer was the oldest son. His brother Bryon was born in 1887.

The ranch was close to the headwaters of the Pistol River. The boys rode a horse to school near Mountain Ranch about 15 miles away.

Elmer ran sheep until 1910 when the Coyotes came in. Ed and Susie sold Grasshopper Hill to Elmer for $10 so they could move closer to a community on the Rogue River.
