Captain Rockafellow not only takes pride in the growing of the first 
orchard, but he has always been a leader in the development of fruit 
growing in other sections of the State, principally thru the State Horti- 
cultural Society, which he helped to organize September 30, 1880. He has 
always been an active member of the Fremont County Horticultural Society, 
and has, more than any other man, labored in the interest of fruit growing 
in his own county and in the State.
