From The History of Winona County Minnesota, compiled by Franklyn Curtiss-Wedge, Editor in Chief, Assisted by William Jay Whipple, Reviewer of Manuscripts and a Large Corps of Local Contributors, Illustrated, Volume II, Chicago, H.C. Cooper Jr. and Co., 1913 (Copy in Minnesota Historical Society, St. Paul), page 909:

James G. Wilson was born in New York state, February 13, 1832, and died in Winona county, June 6, 1907. He came to Winona county in 1854, and settled in New Hartford township. He lived a quiet life, and devoted himself to his farm and his large family. He married Sarah Brown, who was born June 20, 1832, and died in June 1902. In the family there were thirteen children, ten boys and three girls. Eleven of the thirteen lived to adult years, and of these, ten are still living.

From the Winona Republican-Herald, 13 June 1908:

Dakota

Another of the rapidly diminishing members of Winona county pioneers has passed away. James G. Wilson died at his home in Dakota Valley June 7 1908 at the advanced age of seventy-six years, three months and twenty-four days. The deceased was born at Plattsburgh, N.Y., and came to Minnesota in 1854 and opened the farm which he has occupied ever since. He was joined in marriage to Sarah B. Brown a sister of the late Nathan Brown, the pioneer settler in Dakota. The marriage took place in 1852. Of this union were born thirteen children, three of whom are dead. The first Mrs. Brown died quite a number of years ago and on June 6, 1907 Mr. Wilson contracted a second marriage with Emma Einfeldt of La Crosse who survives him. The funeral services were held June 9, conducted by Rev. C. F. Dykeman. Interment was made in the cemetery about a mile and a half west of the village of Dakota, which was laid out as a burial place a number of years ago and is located near the residence of the deceased. It is one of the most beautiful and picturesque places in the west. Because the house was unable to hold the assembled number of people the services were held in the open air on the cemetery grounds. The grave was decked with garlands of flowers placed there by those who loved him best. Kind friends sang hymns of comfort and Rev. Dykeman pronounced and the people returned to their homes. Seven of the children were present at the funeral. Mr. Wilson possessed a robust and vigorous intellect, but lived rather a retired life, fond of horticulture and gardening, intimately known to but few and esteemed most of his old neighbors and associates, who with him came here in territorial days and labored to make Minnesota and abode of an industrious, intelligent and happy people.

In the Wilson cemetery under the huge boughs of the large oak trees which cover the place, Mr. Dykeman said in part to the large crowd of mourners and freinds, that he thought the service would be more impressive and appropriate right out in the open air, and in God's own temple he read a short sketch of Mr. Wilson's life and religious belief which was a Universalist. He then took up his theme which was to avoid or lessen future punishment; Justice and Truth doing all the good we can, and making all as happy as we can. He said Universalists were scarce and far between, and he believed that he was the only Universalist minister in southern Minnesota. Mr. Dykeman spoke as only Mr. Dykeman can. It has seldom been or privilege to listen to more truth. The choir were Wm. Winter, Mrs. Wolf, and Mrs. Workman.

Obituary of Marie Knight Harris
Chateaugay and Franklin County Democrat, May 10, 1907, page 8

Another old resident of Chateaugay Lake has passed away. After much suffering of a week with pneumonia, Mrs. Harris answered the summons of her master Monday morning, April 29. Mrs. Harris, whose maiden name was Miss Maria L. Wilson, was born in Chazy, May 14, 1841. In 1858 she became the wife of Isaac Knight and soon after they settled in Brainardsville, where they resided for a few years, from thence they moved to Chateaugay Lake where they spent the remainder of their years. They reared a family of seven children and by hard and unceasing efforts both Mr. and Mrs. Knight made rapid strides in lifes progress and as a result of their efforts they soon became the owners of one of the most desirable farms in Ellenburg.

In 1875 Mrs. Knight was called to part with a loving husband and partner. In 1878 Mrs. Knight became the wife of Mr. Tyler Harris and in the years that followed she was always a true helpmate, trying as best she could to raise their two children, and her other ones, always labouring for her loved one, doing every thing her hands found to do. She is survived by five sons, Eugene Knight of Lyon, Mr. George E. Knight of Ellenburgh, Burt Knight of Chateaugay Lake, and Labran Harris of Ellenburg; four daughters, Mrs. Wm. D. Merrill of Chateaugay Lake, Mrs. Frank Furness of Ellenburgh, Mrs. James Eddy of Chateaugay Lake, Mrs. Lyman Collins of Chateaugay Lake, all of whom were at home when she passed away. Funeral services were held from the Shuttsville schoolhouse, Wednesday, May 1st, Rev. C.E. Hasting of Brainardsville officiating.

"Give her the fruit of her hands and let her own works praise her in the gates. Pro. XXXI, 31."

"Beautiful hands,
Such beautiful, beautiful hands,
They're neither soft nor small
And you, I know, would scarcely think,
That they were fair at all.
I've looked on hands whose form and hue
A sculptor's dream might be,
Yet these aged wrinkled hands
Most beautiful to me.

Such beautiful, beautiful hands!
Though heart were weary and sad
These patient hands kept toiling on
That the children might be glad.
I almost weep, as looking back
To childhoods distant day
I think how these hands rested not
When mine were at their play.

Such beautiful, beautiful hands!
They are now cold in death
For time and pain have left their work
On hand and heart and brow.
Alas! alas! the time has come
And the sad, sad day to me
And 'neith the daisies out of sight
Those hands are folded now.

But Oh! beyond this shadow land
Where all is bright and fair,
I know full well these dear old hands
Will palms of victory bear
Where crystal streams through endless
Flow over golden sands,
And where the old grow young again
I'll clasp my mother's hands."

April 7, 1915, he was united in marriage to Mrs. Helen Albrecht of Nodine who survives him. During their residence of twelve years here the family made many friends who extend their sympathy to the widow and daughters in their sad bereavement.

From the Winona Sunday News, Sunday, December 10, 1967, page 7A:


She Stayed in House Despite Bulldozers
By RUTH ROGERS
Sunday News Area Editor
LAMOILLE, Minn. - A for­mer Daily and Sunday News correspondent will be 90 years old Tuesday.
If this newspaper were still publishing neighborhood news columns, Mrs. Edith Stanton might still be wilting for us from Richmond as she did for 25 years, but when the Winona Republican-Herald, forerunner of today's publication, discon­tinued the “local” news items in 1945, she resigned.

THIS PRETTY little woman, however, could write a book about her experiences and those of her family. Her alert mind remembers everything about her forebears, the Tibbetts and Wilsons, without a glance at the manuscripts and letters that tell the same story.
Words tumble out about her experiences as a 16-year-old star route mail carrier; about Cou­sin Luther who raised the first seedless (navel) oranges that made millionaires of California growers overnight; the 200 pounds of shelled nuts she sold each season; of being routed from her home by highway building; of 16 people all sick with smallpox in a tiny pio­neer home.
She'll pause from her house­work-she lives alone and does her own cleaning and cooking-to sing all nine verses of a song written a century ago by a Tibbetts who left “Old Buck-eve” (Ohio) and sailed up the Mississippi River in a boat that “rang her bell at Catlin in the Minnesota Valley, the beauty of the West.”
She'll bring out an old violin her father played. It's a Joseph Guarnerius, made in Italy in 1715. “Ole Bull (famous vio­linist) played a Guarnerius,” she'll have you to know. It's said only seven were made; Oliver Tibbetts picked it up from a blacksmith in Dakota.

SHE NOT only knows the eastern part of Winona County, where she lives, but the west­ern part, too; she taught school at Lewiston and St. Charles.
The former Edith Cicel Tib­betts, she was born Dec. 12, 1887, on a 60-acre farm in Da­kota Valley, New Hartford Township. to Oliver W. and Mary Alice Wilson Tibbetts. “My second name isn't Cecil,” she explained; “it's Cicel; the pronunciation is on the second syllable, with a long e.”
The Tibbetts name is derived from the occupation of tip­pet making, a popular employ­ment in medieval days when tippets were worn by both sexes in the highest ranks of life, even by royalty.
The tippet, a hat with a long scarf or tassel, has found its way into modern life; knitted versions of a similar type are popular among the younger set.

VERSIONS OF her family name run far back in history, but the first of the Tibbetts from whom Edith is directly descended came to New Eng­land from old England in 1635 and have fought in all the wars of this land. The first of the family to come west settled in Ohio in 1807, in Indiana in 1816, in Iowa in 1843, and in Dakota, Minn., in 1847.
Jeremiah Tibbetts of Waver­ly, Bremer County, Iowa, came to Southeastern Minnesota when he was 17 with his friends, the Dakotah Indians, who asked him to accompany them as in­terpreter. They camped on the present site of Dakota, which Jeremiah named for redskins. He built a shack, transported provisions up the Mississippi by Canoe from Prairie du Chien, and started a trading post,
In 1848 Jeremiah accompa­nied the Indians to St. Paul. By this time he could speak six Indian dialects. Alexander Ram­say, territorial governor. sent him into the Big Wood country in Iowa to negotiate an agree­ment with hostile Indians. At first they were inclined to kill any messenger from the gov­ernor, but as they had known Jeremiah as a boy they agreed to accompany him to St. Paul; but before they left they held a dance in his honor.

JEREMIAH stayed In St. Paul until 1849, then sold his land in the center of the preseant city and trekked back to Dakota with two yoke of oxen and a span of horses.
At Dakota he found a trader, Peleau, in possession of his hut and repossessed it. Nathan Brown, who had settled north of him that year, was his only neighbor.
This energetic and restless young man worked on the riv­er, in 1853 took a quarter sec­tion of land on the ridge south­west of Dakota which was called Tibbett's Hill and later Mark's Hill, and the same year married Catherine Isabel Mayn­ard (accent on the last syl­lable), whose French Canadian family came from Ottawa and settled at Dresbach.
Theirs was the first wedding in Dresbach. He took his bride to Mt. Vernon, Iowa, to live with relatives, and there their son, Oliver, Mrs. Stanton's fa­ther, was born.

JEREMIAH'S father, George, the first of the Tibbetts to come to Iowa, had followed his son to Dakota Valley in 1850 and took up a farm south of where George Zenke now lives. Jere­miah was back in Dakota look­ing after his holdings when smallpox broke out in the set­tlement where his family was staying. When the head of the household died, he went back to get his family and the remain­ing four relatives, bringing them up the Mississippi on the Gray Eagle which landed at La Crescent, and thence to the house 16 by 20 feet that George had built.
The smallpox came with them, and the 16 people living in this tiny house fell ill. George died there in 1855 at 56, and one of the children from Iowa died. They were buried on the hillside hack of the house, where panthers, common in those days, molested their little cemetery.
The others recovered, and Dr. Lynch of Winona took Jere­miah's wife with him on his rounds to help other victims of the pox since she now was im­mune.

LATER THE hillside coffins were moved to the Wilson Cemetery in Dakota Valley, land which was donated by James Wilson, who had mar­ried Sarah Brown, sister of Na­than Brown. The cemetery is still there, bypassed by new I-90 grading.
James Wilson was the father of Alice Wilson, later Mrs. Oliver Tibbetts and of Dr. Clar­ence Wilson, who became a doctor at Dakota. Dr. T. H. Wilson, retired Winona physici­an now living at Catlin's Rock, Richmond Township is a son of Dr. Clarence Wilson.
By 1881 Oliver Tibbetts had purchased lots from Nathan Brown in Dakota, which he had platted, and built a home. There his wife died at 29 a few months after giving birth to her fourth child. Edith Cicel was then seven years old.
Edith attended the Dakota school, took the teacher's exam­ination at the courthouse in Winona under Supt. L. V. Wil­bur. and taught in the Firth District, Lewiston; Koepsel District north of St. Charles near Elba; Dick School on the ridge above Dakota; two years in the primary school at Dakota, and was teaching at the Richmond school when she coaxed a handsome young man named William Jacob Stanton to play the violin at school programs,

EDITH AND young Stanton were married June 25, 1904. They first lived in Miller's Valley west of the present Twin Bluffs Motel on the farm his father, Lewis Stanton, had set-tied in 1887. It remained in the family until this year when it was sold to Franklin Krause of Winona.
Edith's experiences, closely linked with roads, began when she was 16; occasionally she covered her father's 26-mile star mail route with a horse and buggy. The long day began at 8:45 a.m. at the Dakota post office. First stop, Ashton station on the right to the south-west. Second stop, Ridgeway, where she rested and fed her horse and ate her packed lunch. Third stop New Hartford, and then back to Dakota by 6 p.m.
In 1910 Edith and her husband moved onto a farm fronting the Mississippi River a short distance southeast of Millers Valley. The first dirt road the built up Mississippi River Valley in 1854 ran through their farm just under the Twin Bluffs; signs of it still are vis­ible on the property where she lives.

THEIR berry-growing and pasture farm began disappear­ing in the early 1920s when the state paid them $500 an acre for 2½ acres of frontage along the river for the first two-lane concrete slab from La Crescent to Winona - U.S. 61.
Mr. Stanton, Richmond Town clerk 28 years, winner of achievement awards for sale of Liberty Bonds during World War I and for serving on the Selective Service Board in World War II, did not live to see the rest of the land taken for the four-lane highway; he died of a heart attack in l952.
Through some misunderstand­ing the road graders moved onto her land before it had been purchased and Mrs. Stanton re­fused to leave her home even though the earth-moving ma­chinery roared around her and she was left literally high and dry. When she finally settled for $25 000, she climbed down out of her back door on a lad­der Sept. 6, 1957, and went to live with her sons until her lit­tle home on the service road, at the foot of King's Bluff, was ready.

THE DAYS when she sold carefully packed sacks of nut-meats at Kindts, Dorn's and Pletke's groceries and to individuals like Judge Loobv in Winona and to the Bodega restaurant m La Crosse are over but not forgotten.
She's busy writing Christmas notes to relatives and friends all over the country. There are Tibbetts in Portland. Ore.; grandfather George's brother, Gideon, lived here. Gideon and Mary streets are named for him and his wife, and Tibbetts Street bisects the Waverly-Richmond District named for him and perhaps for that Wav­erly in Iowa and Richmond in Winona County.
One of Edith's favorite stories is about Luther Tibbett, who like her father, was a seventh generation descendant from the Henry Tibbett who came to this country in 1635.

FROM HIS FARM in what is now Riverside. Calif., he drove horses 65 miles to Los Angeles in December 1873, to get a small parcel containing three little orange trees which the U.S. Department of Agriculture had secured from Bahia, Brazil. for experimental purposes. Luther got them be­cause his wife was a relative of Gen. Butler in Congress. Luther planted them beside his cabin. One was chewed up by a cow. By 1877, the other two each bore two oranges-the first seedless oranges grown outside the Amazon swamps. This started what has been called the most remarkable real estate boom in the history of this country; land which had gone begging at $30 an acre sold readily at $800 to $l,000 an acre for the planting of the new crop.
The two parent trees plant­ed by Tibbetts now are fenced in on the grounds of Mission Inn, Riverside. With them is a marker telling the story and bearing the Tibbetts name.

MRS. STANTON has two sons: Donald W., Lamoille, maintenance foreman with the state Highway Department, and Welford, also employed by the state Highway, who lives near Queen's Bluff. She has five grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.
Donald's sons are Robert L., La Crescent, diesel engineer with Kertzman Dredging, La­moille, and Tom W., lineman with Northern States Power Co., Winona.
Welford has three children: Bruce, Winona County deputy sheriff; Richard, teacher at Washington-Kosciusko school, Winona, and Mrs. Rolland (Jean) Smith, Dakota.
Wearing a hearing aid does­n't bother this sprightly woman who'll be 90 this week; she has a loud speaker on her tele­vision set. She's had a cataract removed from one eye but sees handily through her magnified glasses. She's worried a bit about her high blood pressure. but nothing interferes with her interest in life and her good spirits.

William (son of Lewis Stanton and Isabelle (Stanton)) was born on 4 Oct 1875 in , Rice County, Minnesota, USA; died on 31 Aug 1952 in , Winona County, Minnesota, USA; was buried in New Hartford Township, Winona County, Minnesota, USA, Dakota Village, Dakota "Brown" Cemetery.

COMMENCEMENT HONORS AT WINONA HIGH SCHOOL

Miss Gladys Winter Ranks Highest and Will Be Veladictorian and Rolland Wilson Comes Next and Will Be Salutatorian — Both Residents of Dakota Village— Interesting Announcement by Principal Webster Davis.

Gladys Winter with an average grade of 95.32 was today declared to be the valedictorian of the class of 1915 of the Winona High school and Holland Wilson with an average grade of 94.68 the salutatorian of the class, by Principal Webster Davis before a general assembly of the student body of the school.
The honor roll of this year's graduating class oj the High school consists of fourteen students who have performed the work of their High school career with an average grade ibove 90 per cent. This compares very favorably with the honor roll of last year's class, which contained the names of fifteen students out of a class of eighty while this year's class will have only about 60 members.
Mr. Davis congratulated the school, the faculty and those on the honor roll for the excellent record they had made after his announcement had been received by the student body.

Winner of First Honors

Gladys Winter, the valedictorian, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Winter of Dakota, Minn., her father being a fruit raiser. Misa Winter was born in 1897 and, although a student in Dakota, received most of her education in a little, rural, one-roomschool-hoese at Richmond, Minn. There she easily led her class and almost invariably carried off the reward of merit cards. She finished the later years of her grade schooling in Dakota, where she completed her work with high honors under Miss Cora Dickson, now Mrs. Frank Morrisey of Winona.
Miss Winter is a graduate of the literary course of the Winona High School having completed the subjects of that course with the exceptionally fine average of 95.32. Thruout her school career here she had done tplendid work and taken much interest and active.part in the different interests o£ the High school. She has been on the Radiograph staff and was editor in chief of a recent number. She also did splendid work as a member of the Junior Dramatic society a rear ago.

Second Honors Winner
Rolland Wilson, the salutatorion oi his class, is the son of Mr. and Mrs, C . E. Wilson, also of Dakota, Minn. Mr. Wilson was born in 1895, and as a student of Dakota, proved himself very competent in his school work, re ceiying very high marks. He completed his school work there in 1908 under Miss Agnes Hatch, four years before he took up his High school ionrse in Winona. C- B. Wilson, his father, is a physician and surgeon at Dakota. Mr. Wilson will be a graduate of .he classical course of the High school with an average grade of 94.68. Mr. Wilson has proved himself a consistent and excellent student all thru his school career and he has also taken an active interest in the affaiTs of Sis class and school. Conddentally, both Miss Winter and Mr Wilson, both residents of Dakota, started school at the same time and will complete their preparatory school work together with very high grades, the highest of their class, a worthy showing. An interesting feature of the honor roll which those people lead, is the fact that half of its members are boys and half are girls.

Notes:

Article in Winona, MN, Daily News dated 2-22-1955 indicates that she was an ex-communist. (Source: notes from Louis Wilson given to Larry Wilson refers to her as Helen Wood. Another place on note is the name, Helen Wood Birnie).

Larry Wilson Received the following on 11/3/01 in e-mail from Patrick Wilson:

As Helen Wood Birnie, Helen Wilson wrote the booklet "The Broken Wall" detailing her life as a Communist Party organizer in the 1930s and her subsequent abandonment of the Communist Party to become a civil rights activist and later a Christian activist. The book was published in July, 1954. Helen testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee to speak out against the Communist Party.

Helen used the name Helen DeMark in 1934 as an International Labor Defense Organizer for the Communist Party.

An excerpt from "The Broken Wall" (I added items in brackets):

I had polio when I was three years old. Now, obviously, I am not the only person in America who had polio, not the only person who suffered from it. It so happened, however, that I was the only individual in the village in Minnesota where I lived that had it at the time. And so I was marked as different. I felt the difference, and I did not appreciate it either. I did not like the idea that there were things that other children could do that I could not do. It made me unhappy because I could not romp up and down the hills with them or skate on the mill pond with them. I was always tagging way behind. These things began to stimulate bitterness and resentment in my heart. Of course, there were other reasons, too. We did not have a normal home life. My father [Wallace W. Wilson] was a man who suffered from bitterness because having married late in life and dearly loving my mother [Clara], he lost her when I was just three-and-a-half years old. I had two older sisters [Mildred and Melinda]. These girls, of course, were just as marked by this unfortunate circumstance as I ever was. But it shall be said that their reaction to it was different. We were scattered at the mercy of kindly neighbors and relatives who took us into their homes. My father remarried [Helen], but he was always a man who maintained a sober yet unhappy attitude. Everything that makes for a home was missing in the one in which I grew up. I do not say this because I want to cast reflection on anyone in my family or anyone in my community. But it is true that I did not have a positive understanding of Christian values as a child because they were not taught and presented to me in my home. Now it is easy for people to jump to a conclusion and say, "She's only making excuses." I can appreciate that, and I do not feel unkindly toward you if that is the way you feel. I am telling this story in the hope that people who are asking the question "Why do Americans take up with Communism?" will be honest enough to examine my life and see if, perhaps, it does not contain the answer.

My father died when I was twelve years old. I had the good fortune, however, of being reared close to a man who had a keen appreciation of human life [Clarence E. Wilson]. He was a country doctor, and my father's older brother. A fine and noble man as far as his convictions toward mankind were concerned, he was the kind of a country doctor that people were given to taking for granted, the kind you read about, the kind that folks would pay with pumpkins, rutabagas, cordwood and tomatoes in season and, not so often, money. My uncle was very near and dear to me because he was determined that I should not become one of those thwarted and unhappy individuals known as cripples. He did everything he could to make it possible for me to become a normal human being. He died a tragic death at his own hand when I was fifteen years old. This left an indelible mark upon my life. It caused me to be very bitter, because as I looked back across the years and remembered his faithfulness to his family, his community and to me in particular, I was made aware of the faithlessness of others to him in his hour of need. This led me to say in my heart: "I will not be as other women; I will not be a school-teacher; I will not be a nurse; I will not be a farmer's wife. I am going to be different, I am going to make my difference felt." I said something else in my heart, "You wait, I'll make you sorry you ever knew me. I'll make you hate me so you'll never mention my name." And that I did, for my name was one that was seldom ever spoken except in disrespect, for years and years in the lovely, beautiful community in Minnesota where I began my life.

Pearl took in students (room and board) from the local college, and Willie was the janitor. Willie was a violinist and Pearl played the piano. She actually played for Peggy Lee when she was young and sung in Valley City, N.D. before she became professional.
Pearl also took care of both her parents in their home until they passed away. Frankie had several strokes you can tell from pictures even in 1954 that she was sitting. George was healthy and lived past 90 and Pearl enjoyed doing the caregiving from what I have heard. They lived right on the banks of the river in Valley City and "Pop" fished and they had picnics in their back yard until the river started flooding. They built a dike in later years to stop the water from reaching the house.

Notes:

The following is an autobiograpy written by Helen Wilson as an assignment her senior year in hiigh school.

Autobiography - Helen Wilson

My parent's names were John Wilson, originally from Dakota, and Alma Swanson from Minneiska. They were married December twenty sixth, nineteen hundred. At the time of my birth, they lived in Dakota, Minnesota on a farm where I was born August twenty first, nineteen hundred and seven. I had a sister and brother older than myself who were named Stanley and Phyllis. So far as I know, I was baptized at a ladie's aid at my grandmother's house in Minneiska.

When I was still a baby, we moved from Dakota to Whitman on another farm. Whitman is between Minneiska and Minnesota City. We lived there about one year; then we moved to Minneiska because Stanley was old enough to go to school.

About this time, I must have been a little over a year old. Not very long ago I asked my parents how I looked, making the remark that I would hate to be as fat as my little cousin Harold. "Goodness" exclaimed my mother, "You were worse than Harold. You were so fat that you could hardly learn to walk and we couldn't hardly see your eyes at all." It makes me shiver to think what a sight I must have been. Anyway they say I was a very good baby and hardly ever cried. I cry quite a bit now when I get started.

Before I started school, I was very good friends with two girls living up the street whose names were Myrtle and Bernice Hastings. A neighbor boy named Rodney was also a good friend of mine and he is yet. At our house we had a lawn which sloped at the edge toward the sidewalk. My younger sister Lila, Myrtle, Bernice, Rodney, Phyllis and myself used to sit in a dishpan and slide down this slope, jumping off onto the sidewalk when we reached the stone wall. We also had a swing in our one apple tree where we had lots of fun. I can remember one day when Myrtle came down to play with me and their wasn't any board in the swing. We didn't know what to do for the rope didn't feel any too good. Finally I ran into the house and soon appeared with a pie-tin which served very well as a seat. The only damage done was a little bending. We lived in a house right by the schoolhouse so when Stanley got hungry at recess he would run in the house for "bread, butter and sugar". My sister Lila and myself used to like to run away. When we did run away, I always got the blame because I was the "oldest" of the two.

It was while we lived in this house, before I started school, that my grandparents in Minneiska died, fourteen months apart. When they died, there were no renters to live in the house so we moved there renting the place from my mother's brothers and sister. Our new neighbors were an old couple named Mr. and Mrs. "Put" Gray. We called Mr. Gray "Put" for short. His full name was Jeremiah Putnam. They made quite an impression on the children of the town for they went there to hear the man tell stories and to hear Mrs. Gray sing. Mrs. Gray hardly ever wore shoes and many people can remember seeing her go to shows in her old rose bedroom slippers. She was so fat and old that she could hardly move and if she fell down, we would have to call a couple of men to lift her up. These people had pet cats. Mr. Gray's cat was "Clover" and Mrs. Gray's cat was Trixie. If their cats would die, they called the new ones by the same names. They lived upstairs in their house and Hastings lived down stairs so now we lived right next-door to Myrtle and Bernice. They moved to Buffalo City, Wisconsin, right across the Mississippi and often I was so lonesome for the girls that I cried.

Then I started school. I can't remember the first day nor hardly the first year at all. I think it was in 1913 that I started, and I was six years old. My first teacher's name was Grace Dady and she made me like her very much. One day she sent all to the board; that is, the first grade. Chalk was scarce at the black boards, there being two varities. There was the hard and the soft chalk. Of course we all went after the soft chalk and kept it. One day I noticed a great, big, long piece of soft chalk and I could see Rosella's eyes glisten as she looked at it. The first thing I thought of was to keep that piece in my desk, using it when necessary so that is what I did. Rosella became jealous and told Miss Dady who made me put the chalk back. She (Rosella) looked as if she wanted it but now she couldn't have it at all.

When I was in the first two grades, I was a pet of the older pupils who were upstairs. They thought I was very cute because I was so little and plump. I wasn't nearly so fat as when I was a baby. I was six years old and had brown bobbed hair which my mother always decorated with ribbons.

I was about six years old when my father took me to the Winona General Hospital where my tonsils were taken out. I had a very nice nurse who made me like her because she gave me some lovely flowers and because she was good to me. I didn't want her to take my patent leather slippers and blue stockings off. The result was that my father kept my slippers, and I wore my stockings. The only unpleasant thing about the operation was having the yellow hood over my face. It smelled so strongly that it seemed as if I would suffocate; so I kicked and cried enough for two girls. When I recovered from the ether they seemed anxious to know how I felt and I told them I felt all right. I don't know if Dr. Nouth or my uncle from Dakota performed the operation. I was sick on the train that night and when I got home that night a whole group of girls and boys were sitting on the steps waiting for me. They regarded me as something wonderful for about a week and then it was all over. My tonsils were taken out during the summer vacation.

At school I made pretty good progress. When I was in the second grade Miss Fitzgerald put me in the third grade for reading and spelling. Miss Fitzgerald taught again the next year. When I was in the fourth grade my teacher's name was Margaruite Havorson. I can describe her as being pretty, soft, plump, charming and kind. All the pupils liked her very much. When I was thru the fourth grade downstairs I went upstairs to the fifth grade, and felt very exalted indeed. My fifth grade teacher was Harry White, a young man. This was his second term and also Miss Havorson's. They both acted as if they were in love with each other and many of us still believe it, although she is married to another man. They couldn't be separated with a pin, but I don't know if it was tried or not. My sixth grade teacher was Bridget Lee from Kellogg. She taught in Minneiska two or three years although I only had her for two weeks.

I had gone to school only two weeks. One noon I was coming home to dinner and had just reached our barn when suddenly a fierce pain shot thru my left leg. It came so quickly and hurt so much that instinctively I reached out to grab some support. There was nothing to hang on to and the next thing I knew was that I was laying in our garden right by the berry bushes. I picked myself up and found that I had rolled from the barn, over a stone wall and in the berry bushes. I no sooner got up than I fell again for my leg still hurt. Lila came up to me and helped me down to the house and my mother became greatly alarmed. She kind of guessed that it was a mild form of paralysis or something like it. That evening when my father came home they decided that I should go to my uncle who is a docter and who lives in Dakota. So on Saturday morning Stanley and I set out for the depot, I hanging desperately on his arm. Stanley was glad to go for he was fifteen years old and six feet tall, and loved to show off to little sister Helen that he knew all about trains. As we went thru the street I noticed everyone watching me and how I walked. This made me nervous. When we got to the depot we learned that the train was late. I kept asking Stanley all about trains, how to get on, how many seats were there, what would I do if there weren't any empty seats, and how late was the train. This last question I kept repeating for I was sick, nervous and scared. "Stanley, where is the train now?" "Oh 'bout up to Kellogg." Silence. "Stanley, do you know where the train is?" "It's halfway between Kellogg and Weaver." More silence. "Stanley, is the train to Weaver yet? How far away is Weaver?" "Yes, the train just got to Weaver. That's three miles away." There was a long silence (only five minutes). Finally I exclaimed "Ain't the train ever coming here?" Then Stanley was beginning to get nervous, (catching it from me) when the train pulled in and we eagerly climbed aboard. I believe that was the longest morning I ever spent for it seemed as if we never would get to Uncle Clarence's. When we did get there, it was nearly dinner time. Uncle Clarence came in from his office and Stanley told him all about me. Nothing was done, only I had to eat pills and drink medicine for a few days then Uncle Clarence wanted to see me in his office. It was just before dinner and I wasn't expecting to be examined then. I was a little scared, too, for Stanley had gone home Saturday night. Uncle Clarence felt and pressed my leg all over and nothing happened; he was just about to give up when he suddenly pressed my leg accidentally and I jumped as if I were shot. Sunday my father and mother, and Woodrow, came down to Dakota to bring me home again but I told them quite gaily that I had a sore throat, and besides Uncle Clarence wanted me one week more. My folks went home that night, which was one that I never slept thru. I vomited about four times, was sick, and stayed awake all nite. Next morning Uncle Clarence came in and found out I had the "flu". I was the first one in Dakota to get it and also the first Minneiska person to have it and I considered it quite an honor. In about a week and a half I was well enough to be up and Stanley came down again. He asked me if I wanted to come home but I had to go anyway for they were all packed up and ready to move to Kellogg. On the way home that evening it was Stanley's turn to ask me questions - which I gladly answered for now I wanted to show off to him. We got off the train that evening and quite a few were down to meet me. When we got up town I saw old friends who acted very glad to see me again. Most of them were surprised I cried that night, I was so glad to be home once more but I couldn't play at all. I had to sit quiet all the time to keep my leg rested.

We moved to Kellogg Oct. 2, 1917 or 1918. School was closed there for five weeks on account of "flu". I had already missed two weeks of school. All of us were sick in Kellogg except Pa who had to take care of us six. We got well and then Pa got sick. This was the second time I had the "flu". I missed two months and a half of school that fall while Stanley and Phyllis entered high school. I started a week later than the others, again on account of my leg.

When I was in the eighth grade, we moved back to Minneiska for most of us were lonesome for our old friends. That was in April 1920. Phyllis was a Junior so her and I went to school every day in the morning on the 6:30 train and came back at night on the 6:30 p.m. train. We had hasty breakfasts every day, cold dinners, and seven o'clock suppers. I studied after school in Kellogg and went to bed when I got home for I was always very tired.

That fall Phyllis and I went to school the same way. Phyllis graduated that year and I was just a freshman. I certainly was proud when Phyllis was made salutatorian. It was while I was a Freshman that my father wanted me to quit school, for the means of getting there was causing me bad health. I hated the idea of being put a year behind so I kept right on.

When I was a sophomore I had to go to school alone every day and I certainly was lonesome. Still, it was fun to travel alone all the time and I was a young girl yet (only 15 years old). After Christmas I started to board with Ledman's and life became much easier for me.

It was the summer before I became a Sophomore that I made my trip to Milwaukee. We had built a new house in Minneiska in 1920 when we moved back from Kellogg. In 1921 my uncle Art and his wife and child came up for a visit, in their car. When the returned, they took me along to spend two weeks. Instead of two weeks, it proved to be two months, and it is the best summer I ever spent in my life. I spent my fifteenth birthday in Milwaukee; just a week before school started I came back all alone on the train. In the one little week before I went back to Kellogg, I entertained the Minneiska kids with my stories about Milwaukee and one young girl whose name was Vera Johnson, told me I looked just like a city girl, but I never fully accepted her statement, seeing she didn't know anything about city girls at the time.

The following term was my sophomore year.

I went back to school as a Junior in 1923-24 and spent the year fairly well. I stayed with Mrs. C. Young.

Now I am a Senior. One of my happiest moments this fall was getting my class ring. It certainly made me feel proud of myself, even if I am not a genius nor an extraordinary girl.

I think I will graduate in June. Then I will go to Normal school and, if nothing happens, be a school teacher. Probably some day I shall go to college for I am beginning to have a yearning for a broader education. Maybe I'll never get there at all. Who can tell? Finis

Excerpt: Letter from Delores Watson to Larry Wilson, 12/2/1992

In early summer of 1942 my sister, Florence Evenson and her husband Harry, came to Portland, Oregon to work in the shipyards. They left their two daughters with my mother and me to care for until they could get situated in the city of Portland. They traveled by auto, bringing their son, Harold, with them.

At that time, my father owned an eighty-acre farm five and one half miles north of Williams, MN. We, like so many people living in the rural areas, left home and hearth to seek work in the industrial war boom of the big cities. My father, Del Wilson, preceded my mother and me to the west coast and was working in Seattle, Washington.

In late July 1942, my sister and her husband were settled in Portland and wanted mother and me to bring the two girls (Lois and Joyce) to Portland. There was a Mr. Harry Denton in the Williams area who was using his truck to take passengers to the west coast and haul produce back to the Williams area. My mother, Lois, Joyce and I along with female members of three other families settled ourselves comfortably in the back of Mr. Denton's truck (it resembled a modern U-Haul truck)and headed west. I quit my job as a waitress earning $12.00 every two weeks. Upon arriving in Portland, obtained a job cleaning passenger railroad cars earning $4.00 per day. For this 20 year old, I felt as though I was on "cloud 9".

My husband Ralph, is from Norton, N. C. He had lived on the west coast since 1936 but only a few months in Portland. We met through a mutual acquaintence. A short, fast courtship as many were in those days, we were married in Portland on October 15, 1942. We recently celebrated our fiftieth wedding anniversary. Uncle John Wilson's son Woody and his wife Margaret were among our guests.
