Albert Barnes Orchard on Pepperwood Ridge

Sarah's brother Albert Barnes proved up a quarter-section on Pepperwood Ridge and set it to fruit trees.

Albert Barnes, a brother of Mrs. William Lucas Plaskett (Sarah Barnes), filed and proved up on a quarter section on Pepperwood Ridge north of Prewitt Creek where he set out an orchard. Apricot trees, usually short lived, still bear fruit in this wilderness, the limbs bearing fruit grow high above the reach of deer.
