James Hanish: I don't know how many acres but he had a large mountain of land. Because there used to be a. . . old man Brinkley, he leased it out to a fellow that used to run sheep on shares here in the valley, I can't remember his name now. I used to go down and visit an old codger who lived in there. We used to take our horses and go out and round up the sheep, they'd be all over that country.
Bob Zybach: All this country through here have trees on it then?
James Hanish: Oh, no. This was all pastureland.
Bob Zybach: All that oak hill up through there on.
James Hanish: The whole schbang. There wasn't any of those trees then at all. This is all new.
Bob Zybach: It was all sheep grazing.
James Hanish: All grazing around here.
Bob Zybach: Ok.
James Hanish: Sheep, cattle, whatever.
N. Gross' House
Bob Zybach: This house here.
James Hanish: Was the old Gross family,
Bob Zybach: And it was the last family between Brinkley and their road.
James Hanish: No, not the last family, but they're the last family between the road that goes down to the valley.
Kevin Sherer: [KEVIN] Last family between Brinkleys and.
James Hanish: No, when you cross over the hill, then you start running into one family right after the other.
Bob Zybach: Now this in the right was still Brinkley's land though?
James Hanish: No, this belonged to the Gross family.
Bob Zybach: The Gross.
James Hanish: Yes.
O. Airlie
Bob Zybach: Let's see we're by the. . . flag post in downtown Airlie.
James Hanish: John [Wienert] . . . store.
Bob Zybach: So the store was here on this flat in front of the grey house on our. . east here? How about that brick building, do you recall that?
