3. Backhoe Photograph

Wilma "Willie" Rohner: Carter's place? You know, William was his name wasn't it? Wil Stockoff. I don't remember where they went either, but that was a big worry for me anyway. And then Leighton and then moved clear over to, well it ain't that far but it seemed far then, to Millersburg, out between Albany and Jefferson, sort of.

Bob Zybach: As long as we're going on Camp Adair, maybe you can go through these Adair photos first. You took them Willie, so.

2. Powderhouse Photograph

Wilma "Willie" Rohner: [WILMA] That's the powderhouse where they stored powder up there, for the blow. You know, like the roads, and on Coffin Butte they blowed rocks, and stuff. They stored all that powder. They had about 4 or 5 of them up in there. And on Beals there was quite a bunch of them. Then they took them out after the soldiers started coming in, they bulldozed that. They went quite a ways back in, if you slipped in when nobody was looking, and looked in, they went in quite a ways in the ground.

Bob Zybach: Now you took all these pictures, right?

3. Backhoe Photograph

Wilma "Willie" Rohner: [WILMA] Yeah, I took all them at Camp Adair, yeah. That's the first road that was built in through our place.

Bob Zybach: Do you know the name of that machine there?

Wilma "Willie" Rohner: [WILMA] Oh some kind, what do you call them, not a backhoe, not a crane,

John Jacob "Jake" Rohner: [JAKE] Well, it is a large backhoe.

Wilma "Willie" Rohner: [WILMA] Is that what it is?

John Jacob "Jake" Rohner: [JAKE] Yes, a large backhoe.

Bob Zybach: Okay, the powderhouse is on your property and...

Wilma "Willie" Rohner: [WILMA] And that's on our property. Close to where our house used to be.

Bob Zybach: They'd already taken your house away from there?

Wilma "Willie" Rohner: [WILMA] No, our house is still there. Our house should be right up in here.

Bob Zybach: So this would be to the west of the house.

John Jacob "Jake" Rohner: [JAKE] Really, southwest.

Wilma "Willie" Rohner: [WILMA] Yeah, southwest. You can see Beals' hill and our hill, it's right between

Bob Zybach: them. Okay, you say your hill. Did you call it Rohner's hill ever?

Wilma "Willie" Rohner: [WILMA] We just called it our hill!

Bob Zybach: Oh, okay. One of the things I'm trying to do is get names attached to these places. Like, Beals Hill, first time I've heard that name today.

Wilma "Willie" Rohner: [WILMA] Yeah, we always called it Beals Hill. His old turkeys used to come over there, to our place. And dad used to get so mad at them, they'd roost in the trees. And one Thanksgiving clay, that was Ralph and Nell come up from Dffls, my sister and brother-in-law, and we thought, my gosh dad was always bitching about that, we'd go out there and we was gonna get us a turkey. So we went up and it was right in this area here, and we shot one of them things. And old Beal was up on the hill, and his turkeys never come over anymore, after we'd shot it. We'd seen old Gene Beal wandering around. We got that turkey and took off for home, but Ralph and Nell took it home to eat and the darn thing was skinny and tough we couldn't hardly eat it. But his turkeys was over there all the time.

John Jacob "Jake" Rohner: [JAKE] Well, there was lots of grasshoppers. They ate grasshoppers.

Bob Zybach: Well, Wiese 's, they used to raise turkeys too, and they said in those days they just kept open range on the turkeys.

John Jacob "Jake" Rohner: [JAKE] Yeah, well Schulmericks had turkeys that used to come over to our place too.

Wilma "Willie" Rohner: [WILMA] Yeah, I guess they did. But Beals's was always roosting in our trees, and remember, getting in the barn and in the cow mangers? I remember that and dad cussing them out. And, oh, man. That was a mess when you go feed the cows and there'd been some turkeys in there picking out of the mangers.

Bob Zybach: Did he raise those turkeys for meat or for eggs?

Wilma "Willie" Rohner: [WILMA] That I don't know. It couldn't have been for meat, they was too dang skinny!

John Jacob "Jake" Rohner: [JAKE] I really don't know.

Wilma "Willie" Rohner: [WILMA] I couldn't say either, but he had quite a flock of them.
