Taken from The History of Klickitat County, Washington published by Klickitat County Historical Society in 1982:
"This included most of Bob Chamberlain's land and also J.K. Hockensmith's (formerly W.H. Thompson's) place on Major Creek. Mc Colley's Ranch was made up of at least 25 homesteads and small places. The Appleton property included 13 homesteads and eight other small holdings.
Phillip's maternal grandfather, H.H. Aylor of Orchard, Tex., raised cattle and said he made more money from Longhorns than he ever did from purebred Herfords. With a start of heifers from Ernie and Virginia Struck's herd, which Ernie cared for while Phillip was in the service, it was only natural that he would follow in his grandfather's footsteps. Phillip, Betty, and the family have been raising cattle, hay, wheat and timber, and have been selling long yearling feeders, wheat and sawlogs.
Phillip is now retired (mandatory), and Andy, Gene and Betty are operating the Box T Ranch.
Phillip E. Tuthill."
Think about this -- no one ever says, "It's only a game" when his team is winning.
