When he was young, he and Nena would stake off widthswhile their father, by hand, broadcast grain, wheat, oats and barley froma sack on his shoulder. Grain bundles were put in stacks. Too young tothrow the bundles up, Earl was taught by his father to stack the bundlesin the precise manner to hold the stack while his father threw thebundles up to him. Jay Bush and Earl were horse racing when a cow boltedand ran into Earl, injuring his foot. It was out of joint 23 days. Onthe steps, he stepped down and it snapped back into place. Earl was a World War I Veteran, discharged 1918. He tells of homesteading on the Belle Fourche River, north of his father's ranch which helater took over and ran till his retirement. He also bought Fred's placewhich bordered on the pasture land. Earl wanted to build a log house onhis homestead. His father taught him how to use the broadaxe to preparethe logs. Married Beatrice Lillian Chittim September 6, 1920 at BelleFourche. To this union three children were born, William Earl, VirginiaNeil and Lois Belle. They grew up on the River Ranch. During thedrought in the 1930's, making a living was a problem for everyone. Toeat, a garden and canning were essential. The Belle Fourche River wasdown to a trickle. Bill hitched up the team to a wagon, loaded barrels,dug a hole in the river, and as it filled with water, he dipped it up andfilled the barrels. Everyone helped to hand water the garden. A milkcow was given special care to keep her going. Range cattle got thistlehay (tumbleweed) cut green and salted.

Edward Douglas Willson1
M, #54018, b. 11 September 1847, d. 20 April 1922
| Note* | Edward Douglas Willson and older brother Walt left New York State and headed west. In 1874 they left Missouri for Denver, Colorado State. Arriving there with no money and no food for several days. In the fall of 1876 they arrived at Deadwood, Dakota Territory. They had traveled with a small wagon train from Cheyenne, Wyoming. Two days out Indians killed the train's hunter. Walt, age 16, took over this job. Ed and Walt hauled freight from Cheyenne to Deadwood. The roads were mere trails so they made out best they could. Going down the steep hill into Deadwood, they would cut a medium size tree, fasten the top to the back of the wagon. The branches would catch and drag, making a brake for the loaded wagon. One of their night stops was at Squawman Dutton Ranch. On one trip with a load of whiskey in barrels, a wheel broke before they reached the Dutton place. Being late, they decided to camp there for the night. Next morning they rode to Dutton's to get a wheel, only to find the place burned and the people killed by the Indians. Walt and Ed worked at the Homestake Mine when it first opened. In 1877 Ed homesteaded on Falsebottom Creek (near St. Orge). It was fifteen miles north of Deadwood. Walt tried to homestead but kept being put off because he was too young. To protect their horses, they built a barn up a brushy draw. (In 1970 Ed's son, Earl Willson, found on Falsebottom where the homestead should have been, a brushy draw with a hole back inthe bank with the walls rocked up. He took this to be the same barn.) The Indians rode around and around their place several times but never bothered them. To cut hay, they dug rifle pits where one man would sit with a rifle while the other cut hay. A precaution to prevent Indians rom killing them. Indian humor comes out in the story. Ed told about two friends who were holding a large horse herd where the Spearfish-Deadwood highways meet. Only one man had a pistol. He went down the Creek to hunt for food. He met 16 Sioux Indians who laughed and held up their hands and said 'how' as they went on toward the horseherd. The man ran back to his partner, but there wasn't anything they could do. Looking up they could see about 50 Indians in silhouette onthe skyline of the two big hills to the east and west of them. The 16 Indians cut the herd for the horses they wanted and left. They would laugh and say 'How' each time they would come close to the men. Ed sold his homestead to Fogelsong. He and Walt rode into the valley on the Belle Fourche River in the fall of 1882. The native grass was stirrup high. This was the place they were looking for. Walt homesteaded, now being of age. You can still see the dugout they lived in that first winter. It is about a mile south of the house on the southside of a hill looking down on the river. The house they built of logs is a part of the present house. They had to remove teepee poles to farm the fields, as this had been Indian campground. When they first started to farm they didn't have a harrow, so they tied thorn bushes together and dragged them over the plowed ground to smooth it. There were three other ranches in the country at that time. Jerry Bush, Camp stool and T-Cross-Ton Beaver Creek. Ed and Walt made several trips to Missouri to buy cattle. In the fall of1886 they had 600 head. That winter the snow was deep and the temperatures very cold. They had cut lots of hay on the meadows to the east and above Hulett. Because of the extreme cold, they dug back into a haystack to make a place for late calves, then closed the front with hay. The calves still froze. The stock froze where they stood. In the spring there were one hundred and thirty head of stock left. Walt went to work as a representative for the Campstool Ranch. The water in the river was very high when Ed went to cross, it floated the wagon box off and down the river. At the same time uncoupled the reach, turning the rear wheels loose. Ed drove the team and front wheels to dry land and had to swim back for the rear wheels. He had bought the first grainbinder in the country. At Preacher Wood's place on Beaver Creek they bound the grain and left the machine in the center of the field. Being a good year, there was a great deal of grain. The shocks of grain were so close together they couldn't get the machine out without making a path for it. When there was a threshing machine, it took a month of exchange work to do everyone's grain. The threshing machine was round, four or six teams would walk around it turning the gears. It was called a horse-powered grain separator. It took a crew of 20 or more men, one man driving the teams, two men fed bundles on either side, each had a boy cutting the binder twine. The grain came out in one half bushel measures into sacks. The sacks were hauled to a granary and dumped. The straw went out an elevator to be stacked, usually by kids because it was so dirty a job. Ed married Mary Belle Baxter on January 1, 1888 at the home of her parents at the Riverdale Ranch and Post Office on the Belle Fourche River n Crook County. Her parents were Joseph Henry and Susan Ellen (Massey )Baxter. A minister was to have come the eighty miles but sent word he was ill. Even 40 below, John Pearson was happy to come and perform the wedding ceremony. Edward Douglas Willson was born September 11, 1847 near Jamestown,Chautauqua County, New York at the family ranch. He died April 20,1922 at the River Ranch, Crook County, Wyoming at age 74. He is buried at the Hulett Cemetery. Ed loved to garden. He planted a large orchard of cherry, apple, plum and pear trees. Raised raspberries and strawberries,as well as a very early and beautiful garden. He enjoyed fishing and liked to take a camp outfit to Sand Creek (Beulah) to fish for trout. Ed added an upstairs and kitchen onto his house, much as it stands today. Ed and Belle had four children, Frederick Joseph, Nina Baxter, Earl Russell and Sidney Edward.

In the fall of 1880 Ella and her son, Ben, accompanied her brothers,Walter and Ernest to the Black Hills. There Ella established a boarding house for miners and prospectors at Strawberry Gulch. The week before Christmas 1882, Ella and Ben started east on the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad to visit relatives. A heavy snow storm caused them to be snowbound at Pierre, South Dakota for several days. While confined in Pierre, Ben became very ill with pneumonia. Albert Pollock came to Deadwood, South Dakota, in 1877 from Nova Scotia, and was the proprietor of the first established photograph gallery in the town. He was en route home for the holidays, and also became marooned in Pierre. Albert and Ella became acquainted and he was good help in caring for her sick son. When the train returned to Deadwood, they decided to go back with it. On the 6th of September, 1883 they were married in Deadwood, by R.H. Dallivin, a Methodist minister. Albert and Ella took their wedding trip to Nova Scotia via boat from New York. They spent a month or so with his relatives, and were given a set of Syracuse china. In the fall of 1886, they sold the photography shop and moved to Wyoming. Albert Pollock filed on a homestead on the Belle Fourche River, three miles below Hulett, Wyoming. He and his brother-in-law, Warter Willson, bought cattle to stock the ranch. In the terrible winter of 1886 and1887, when cattle froze to death near hay stacks, they lost all but forty head.

Russell Willson1
M, #54045, b. circa 1800
| Biographical Note* | Russel Willson was born early 1800 in the United States. Married Cordelia Catherin Schoonmacher. She was Holland Dutch and he was Welch. They lived at Jamestown, Chautauqua County, New York. To this union were born eight children: Louis, born July 10, 1845; Edward, born September11, 1847; and Walter, the youngest, May 18, 1860. Russell Willson in 1849 went from New York to California to the goldfields. There is a letter he wrote to his wife from Sacramento. He is said to have formed the New York Volunteers and joined the Union Army to fight in the Civil War. Louis, age 18, and Edward, age 16, joined the Union Army, Company C, 9th Regiment of New York Calvary on February 15, 1864 at Jamestown. They had been trying to join for two years but were turned away as too young. Later discharged July 17, 1865 in Virginia at the end of the war. They were under General Sheridan and General Sherman on the march 'from Atlanta to the Sea.' They entered the war at the Battle of the Wilderness, fighting in the thick timber caused many small fires to start. Smoke and fire made fighting more difficult. Ed told of being behind a stump for protection with another man, when this man didn’t answer, Ed looked around to see him with a bullet hole between the eyes. Decided it wasn't safe there, reached up to grasp a sapling, bullets almost cut the sapling in two, so he just settled back down. Living conditions on the march to the sea very often were very bad. Sometimes they had nothing. When night came they would wrap the reins around their hands and lay on the ground in front of their horses to sleep. They ate when they could find something. To prevent the enemy from using the railroad rails, the soldiers would pry loose the railroad rails, heat them in a fire and bend around a tree. Ed helped float log rafts, loose logs fastened together, down the Alleghenies River, Ohio and Mississippi to St. Louis.
