Wilson was a marksmen and The Wilson Jameson Day was held each year and a trophy was awarded to the best marksmen. The farm property was on both sides of the road with an apple orchard where the school is and a cherry orchard where the Family Care Center is. The rest of the land was used for strawberries and the growing of produce. Mr. Jameson was famous for his bleached celery which was buried and dug-up in the winter for selling. A large pond, now surrounded by houses, was used for irrigation and fishing. The original sign, painted in 1909 still hangs on the barn. Mr Wilson Jameson died in 1969 at 96 years of age and Katie died in 1949 at 71 years of age.
