The Gilbert-Marable Ranch on the Rio Penasco |
Photo from the El Paso Times, El Paso, Texas, 1953, of the old Gilbert ranch house on the Rio Penasco near Dayton, New Mexico. The accompanying article by Mrs. Gloria Redfield tells the history of the house which she first saw with William C. Marable and his sister, Katie P. Marable Parsons of Roswell, in 1893 when it still served as a stage stop. William worked as a hired hand on the cattle ranches in the area until he could marry Bertha Mae Coe and buy the old Gilbert place about ten years later. One of the attractions may have been the door to the adobe outbuilding which bore bullet holes put there by Billy the Kid. Bertha's father, Jasper Coe, and moreso her uncles Frank and George Coe, were associated with Billy the Kid and the McSween faction during during the Lincoln County War around 1880. |
