In the early 1900's Sheriff Robert Eunson occupied the residence with his second wife, Jessie, and his two children, Dale and Genevieve. When Robert Eunson's term as sheriff expired, he packed up his family and moved to Montana to claim a homestead. His son, Dale, went on to become a well-known writer and dramatist. His non-fiction story entitled, "The Day They Gave Babies Away" was written in 1946 and has become a modern classic. It is the only story ever to have been published three times in one magazine, Cosmopolitan, and it has been dramatized on radio and television.
