Mrs. Mabel (Lowe) Christensen posed with one set of the great many totally handmade dolls that she made over the years. The angel at the top of the community Christmas tree each year was, for many years, Mabel's handmade angel.

This picture shows the house built by George Freeman in about 1915 when he moved his family to Stag Bay, Hernando Island to look after Mike Manson's timber interests and livestock. The house is not yet finished, but is liveable. The house was located on a hill overlooking Stag Bay, on the site of the former Smith family home. They had planted two apricot trees, Italian prune trees and cherry trees which were bearing fruit.

Mrs. Jean Manson. After her marriage to Wilfred Manson in 1920, they lived for a time in the George Freeman home on Hernando Island.
