Sweet, Onowa, i Iowa: I remember Mother telling of her childhood life in Western Kansas in the 1830’s They lived in g dug-out between He ndon, and Oborlin, Kansas. She had thjree miles to walk to-school, and cut across the prairie on foot. She-told of several occasion. when a’ pack of coyotes followed her, staying quits a distance behind. If she ran, they would al3o run, but luckily, they always stayed about the same distance from her Their drinking water rsme from a dug well; and she tola of getting typhoid fever and-losing all of her blond hair. When it came back, . it was a medium brown. She told J of another instance of not being . able to straighten her leg for a I long time and getting around only I by resting her knee on a chair seat, then pushing the- chair in front of her. It sotjnds like the polio*of today, and was probably caused by their living conditions. She also told of the fierce prairie - fires that raged out of control in the tall native grass. The women would also have to go out and help fight the fires. She told of her par ents locking her in the dug-out while they fought the fires. She was safer there, because the fire would I go right over her head and leave her unharmed. While my mother is not alive to tell her own story, I thought I would send it in. We are so smug today in our everyday living that we often forget just what our ancestors had to go through to make this country a wonderful place for us ‘to live in.
