Andrew C. and Lizzie Cauble are pictured on their ranch in 1889. The man with the beard, sitting down in the middle of the group, is Andrew’s father, James. The other man is likely either Andrew’s uncle Ben or brother Orpheus. A.C. Cauble staked a homestead claim on land 10 miles southeast of Holyoke in the Amitie community in October 1886. On his homestead, he built a one-room sod house, 10 feet by 12 feet, with a roof, one door, one window and no floor. Later a second room was added to the house, and finally the sod house grew to five rooms. — source: Phillips County Museum
