It comprised 314 acres and after operating it for a time, he traded for more land and now has 500 acres of natural meadow and hay land, milks about thirty cows, supplying the demand at Bly and shipping his cream to Klamath Falls.

The following is a copy of a newspaper clipping: "Menacing Dangers of Stobuck Hole Near Honey Creek Retold Dick O'Howell and Simon Dixon Recall That Team and Stone Wagon Disappeared -- That It Was Used for Baptismals. Stobuck Hole, grim and menacing in legend but today only another hole of water dammed up by a rock ledge in Honey Creek in Orrsburg neighborhood, was recalled this week by these two men, Dick O'Howell, left 81 years old, owner of the land on which the hole is located, and Simon Dixon, right, 75 years old, son of the former owner of the land. Stobuck Hole, which got its name after a team of horses, hitched to a stone wagon, disappeared in its center, is located about 250 yards northeast of O'Howell's house, east of Orrsburg. At one time, it was about 100 yards long, and shoaling off from the rim to a depth once measured at 22 feet. It was when it was at this condition that John Stobuck (some say it is spelled Stobaugh) misjudged the depth of the water, drove his team into the hole and escaped with only his own life. Fills Up With Silt Years later, legend has it, the front bolster of the wagon was either washed out or brought out by drivers but the horses and rear portion of the wagon were forever lost. At the present time, the hole has been filled up with silt so that it is no longer the deep, menacing freak of nature -- a hole through the bedrock. But at the time Simon Dixon was a boy it was a swirling, menacing body of water entered only by the most intrepid divers. Along the rim, however, the congregation of the Frontier Baptist Church at Orrsburg often gathered to witness baptismals, often in the dead of winter. In the summer months, persons building homes often came to get stone for foundations. It was in this occupation that Stobuck had come when he made the fateful mistake that inscribed his name in the legend of the community. Remembers Lanning Mill Dixon, who is the son of the late William ("Uncle Billy") Dixon, came to the farm with his parents in 1869. Seventy-five years old Wednesday, He can recall trips to the old Lanning Mill, a few miles south, with wheat to be ground and remembers one time when a lone Indain brave called at their home. The Indian pushed the door open and walked in, Dixon said, and muttered: "Me hungry." "Wash up and pull a chair to the table,," Mrs. Dixon said. "Me sit on floor," the brave answered. "You'll get nothing to eat in this house until you wash and sit in a chair at the table," Mrs. Dixon said and the Indian acquiesced. Know as Strong Man Dick O'Howell, 81 years old, who married Dixon's sister, and has lived on the same farm the last 58 years years, was known, in his prime, as one of the strongest men in the community. He used to lift barrels of salt over the sideboard of his wagon, he said, never bothering to take down the end gate of the wagon and ease in the 280-pound barrels. "It looks foolish now," he said. When he was in his prime, he said, he weighed 240 pounds and stood six feet tall. He could work all day and never feel tired, he said. He lost his sight 48 years ago following an attack of measles and since that time has been forced to manage his farm and do chores around the place. Early this summer, while he was out driving, his horse dropped dead in the shafts after it had been led past a tractor."
