Nora Askov Freeman Knebel

By 1915 much of the area at Nine Mile had been homesteaded, not only by men, but also a number of women. One particular spot at Nine Mile was known as "Widowville," as four ladies had adjoining homesteads, including the houses, which were located together at the adjacent corners.
Nora Askov Freeman was widowed by Dan Freeman, a Nine Mile homesteader. She established the Freeman Hospital in Buffalo after the death of her husband Daniel Freeman. She eventually married Dr. John Knebel and worked as a nurse.
