The family sold the ranch to Tommy Larson in 1910 and returned to Ohio. However, the Stanley family moved to Moab in 1908. With the arrival of Wolfe's daughter and son-in-law in 1906, the newer, surviving structures were built. The ranch on Salt Wash was established about that time under the Bar DX brand. Shocked at the primitive conditions, Stanley convinced her father to build a new cabin with a wood floor. In 1906, John Wolfe's daughter Flora Stanley, her husband, and their children moved to the ranch. For more than a decade they lived alone on the remote ranch. The Wolfes built a one-room cabin, a corral, and a small dam across Salt Wash. He chose this tract of more than 100 acres (0.40 km 2) along Salt Wash for its water and grassland - enough for a few cattle. A nagging leg injury from the Civil War prompted Wolfe to move west from Ohio, looking for a drier climate. John Wesley Wolfe settled in the location in 1898 with his oldest son Fred. The Wolfe Ranch, also known as Turnbow Cabin, is located in Arches National Park near Moab, Utah, United States. ![]()
