The John Ambos Ranch on Congor Mesa in the foreground with the Martin Schomers Ranch in the background.
Martin Schomers was among the last to homestead on the Congor Mesa. "Schomers died of tick fever in May of 1940 after being ill only a short time. The children fell heir to his property but since two were still minors, the estate was not settled until 1944. During the intervening time Darrell Ray, who was married to Helen Schomers in 1939, operated the two ranches until 1943. The administrators of the estate then sold the original Schomers place to Frank Zastrow and the Ambos place to Charles Cock." -- McCoy Memoirs, p.264-265
