"Built in 1915, this house on the Schrupp ranch replaced the homestead cabin of 1905 which was much too small for a large family. After Mrs. Schrupp's death in 1913, the older children began leaving home one at a time until Mr. Schrupp passed away in 1938. Henry Schrupp then operated the ranch until Charley and Josephine Ray bought it and lived here before selling the ranch to Raymond Horn, many years later. Since then, the house has remained vacant."...
