Added Reference:

When James and Nettie (Fetrow) Pease moved to Washburn, they bought the Cornelius Westfall place. It was at the top of Greasy Creek Hill. The Pease family grew strawberries there.

In the book written by H. Harold Shamel entitled Seeds of Time, published in the 1940 or 1950's, he mentions the Pease family who lived in the Washburn, MO, area. He writes: "In the late winter or early spring of 1896 the Pease family came to Washburn to live. They were originally from Nebraska but came to Washburn from Springfield, Missouri. They had come to the Ozarks for Mr. Pease's health. They brought the berry farm, which had belonged to the Westfall family - the family with whom we had remained all night on our first trip down from Butterfield to our new home on "Mount Where you At." in 1892."
