THE HISTORY OF MAYER Mayer was founded In the spring of l88l by Joseph Mayer. Mayer was just a clump of brilliant green cotton- woods, sparkling like emeralds in contrast to the more somber hues of the country around. It was the spring of 1881. The wagon road was the stage route that ran from Prescott to Phoenix through the Black Canyon. The clump of green cottonwoods grew around the Bug Bug Station. The Big Bug Station was Just a shack that was located on the bank of Big Bug Creek. Joseph Mayer was of French descent; he was born in Olean, New York. Joe, as he was always called, grew up working on cattle ranches, prospecting, working in mines and getting an informal education from the country around him. Joe married Sadie Belle Wilbur, a charming English woman. Together they moved into southern Arizona with courage and determination. They settled in Tip-Top and Joe opened a store. Knowing Tip-Top was not to be a permanent town, Joe looked for a place for the business to prosper. He therefore went to Prescott to look for a place to live. Along the way he stopped at Big Bug for the night. He liked the place, and felt the location was right for' a future town as it was only a day's ride from Prescott and was very close to the new opening mines. They moved into Big Bug. It paid off. Joe began to prosper immediately. He opened a hotel for stage passen- gers and a saloon for the mass of cowboys and miners. Every with heavy eyebrows, dark eyes, and black mustache, was well-known for his hospitality and willingness to lend a helping hand. Joe Mayer prospered and his family grew. He had one son and three daughters. The Big Bug Station was washed out by a flood in the Big Bug River when a dam built by the mining company gave way. Some lumber was salvaged and a new station was built farther back from the river. This house still stands and is the home of Miss Mamie Mayer and her sister, Mrs,. Winifred Thorpe, who are two f Joe Mayer's daughters.
