"The automobile may have been the only one in the families, and may have been the one my grandfather Miller drove from Kansas, or the one the Edwards traveled in when they abandoned their homes on Bellyache in 1929 and journeyed to Chandler, Arizona. Most travel was by horseback or horse and buggy (wagon?)." -- Esther Rogers, March 3, 2013.

Emma wrote in little Joe's [Joseph Klyde Edwards] baby book, 1925: "When you were 5 months old we were going over to your Grandma Millers in the sleigh. One runner ran up on the bank and the other in the soft snow making the sleigh tip over on its side and threw you and me out in the snowdrift. You were asleep and never even woke up." -- Esther Rogers, March 3, 2013

The restored Wohlgehagen cabin, while titled the "stage stop" by Diamond S ranch residents, was very likely not the actual stage stop on Bellyache.
