Hungry Holloow is about 5 miles north of Capay in Yolo County. Freeman was an almond farmer and an expert in grafting and care of trees. He had an ulcer and had to drink goat's milk, so he kept a pet goat that went everywhere with them. When he went to the beach house at Dillon Beach, which he built in about 1917, He tied the goat on the running board. On one trip the goat fell off and the children had to chase him down. Many fishing trips were made up on the rocks, 'poke-poling' for eel. At home, Freeman had a wine cellar underground behind the garage that had to be entered by a ladder. It had wine barrells with a hose on a spigot. Friends would come by and take a swig out of the hose. Lois heard them talking about it and one day decided to try it. She ended up in an apple tree singing at the top of her voice. She got a spanking for her escapade. Freeman died at age 76 on his ranch, at the old pump house. Everett found his father, after he had been reported 'missing'. Freeman and brother Gene, bought almond orchards, approximately 1905, NW of Esparto. Everett bought Lou Chinn's house up the road and piped water under highway to get water from Freeman's to his orchard. Freeman had arthritis in his hands and would put his hands under an ozone lamp. He had an enlarged heart, and may well have suffered from prostate related complications, in his old age.
