My grandmother Mary Jane Mohr went into labor and my grandfather Albert Mohr left the ranch on horseback during a terrible rain storm to get the doctor from Red Bluff (9 miles distant). He contacted the doctor and started his journey back home as the doctor started out in his wagon. The doctor's wagon became stuck in the high waters of Blue Tent Creek and his journey was greatly delayed.

By the time the doctor reached the Mohr Ranch, Eloise had delivered with the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck and she was dead. In great sadness my grandfather buried his first daughter and my grandmother grew flowers around the grave until she left the ranch in the 60's. When she left, she removed all evidence of the grave for fear that vandals might dig it up. Eloise now rests in an unmarked grave on the Mohr Ranch, the location known only by her relatives.
