Text: Seattering Remarks by W.N. Speckle. He describes Wrangletown when it first began. There were two shanties - one where the George Cole home now stands and the other where the Martin home now stands. The shanties were occupied by two families who very very belligerent. The [ ? ] were fighting fools. A man named Crocks who ran the stage from Eureka to Freshwater, one morning as he arrived at McGeorge's Store (location ?) announced I just came by Wrangletown and the fight was still on and from that time forward Wrangletown has been applied to that section. So the original Wrangletown is about where Superv. George Cole was born & still resides.
