Frannk Miller's homestead
Somewhere around fifty years ago or more Frank Miller located a homestead between Coyote Peak and the Klamath River and lived there a while and then the homestead was vacant for several years. It was not occupied again until about 1912 when Walter Herzog bought the property and built a cabin. on it. He lived there about two years and during that time he held a half interest in the place to Charles Liskey. Herzog sold his other half interest to Charles Liskey shortly after moving from the ranch.
Charles Liskey built a house and barn on the property and dug a ditch from the Klamath River to irrigate the fields. On several places along the ditch flumes were required to bring the water past some bluffs. The ditch had been started by some one several years before Liskey completed it.
Claarles Liskey and family were in the cattle and horse business for several. years there before they bought the Beers Ranch on Brush Creek.
After the Charles Liskey family moved to the ranch on Brush Creek Jack Liskey and his family lived on the old Frank Miller Home stead. The house on the old homestead burned a few years after Jack Liskey moved there and no one has lived there since that time.
