The Purtymuns moved into Oak Creek Canyon (today Junipine) in the early 1880s. Again they cleared the land. They built a large log house and an irrigation ditch and planted a fruit orchard. In the early 1900s, Steven and Martha divorced and he moved away. Several of their children stayed, marrying into other local families and acquiring their own property. From left to right are (on the floor) Dan; (seated) Jess, Martha holding Pearl, Steven, Charley, Albert, and George; (standing) Emory, Jesse J. Howard, and Bear.
