"White Medicine Woman"

Homesteading

     
     

 Lemmon became a town in 19 & 7

       And it adopted a cattleman’s name

He was known as G.E. Lemmon and a hundred

       Years later, it’s name is still the same

Right away Frank began homestead’n

       The land that would be theirs

It was 12 miles south of the tent town

       And close to many rivers

 

It was a quarter mile north of the Grand River

       And 160 acres of hard prairie

Yet, it was their paradise

       Even if it was barren of trees

It was the same land

       Where the buffalo did roam

In numbers that stagger the imagination

       They knew they’d found their home
