Willia and Jane Emmons Fedderly log home in Rock Elm, circa 1890

William O. Fedderly was born in New York State in 1838. He came to Rock Elm in 1873 and settled on Section 11. He was a farmer by trade, but he also developed a considerable trade in buying and selling ginseng. In 1883 he reportedly purchased almost 7,000 pounds, and paid out more than $4,000. Reportedly, he was also one of the first Rock Elm farmers to raise blooded Holstein cattle. By 1895, the Pierce County Plat Book lists W.O. Fedderly as a dealer in ginseng, hides, fur and pelts. W. O. Fedderly's wife was Jane Emmons who was born in New York in 1817 and died in 1890.
