"Among the very early pioneers of the area were Elliott and Mary Maxwell who located on 160 acres of land at the confluence of the Grand River and Elk Creek, about four miles west of McCoy about 1896. The elevation there was about 6,500 feet, the lowest in the area where most vegetables and some varieties of hardy fruits could be grown." -- McCoy Memoirs p.155

He and his wife Lelah and their family of ten lived here until the children were grown, married and had homes of their own. Mr. and Mrs. Ault retired from active farming about 1950 and leased the ranch to their son-in-law, Walter Evans, before buying a house in Kremmling and moving there." -- McCoy Memoirs p.160
