SHOP AT HOME SnOP WITH THE ADVERTISERS Matron Honored by Mrs. Thad Blanchard Covered wagon treks in the Northwest, homcsteading in pio neer areas under adverse conditions j while raising a large family were nniv a ftw of the memories recall ed by Mrs. Geneverie Blanchard of Oak City as she observed her 90th birthday at an openhouse and family reunion heid Saturday at the home of her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Anderson. Mrs. Blanchard, born June 14, 1878 at Weeping Water, Nebraska to "goodly parents", Hiram and Amandt (Herrington) Blanchard, began her formal education at the age of five. She completed two years of high school, required at that time, at Bethany Heights High School near Lincoln, Nebraska. Nebras-ka. Prior to her eighteenth birthday she was the proud possessor of a Normal Teachers degree from Bethany Beth-any Heights University. Armed vith the spirit of adventure adven-ture and accompanied by her mother, moth-er, the young teacher set out for Joliet, Montana where she was engaged en-gaged to teach grades one through eight at a rural school. Her mode of transportation to and from her chosen occupation was via her favorite pony, Tessar. Wise beyond her years, the yong school "marm" invested her wages in the purchase of a 320 acre farm where the family was joined by her father. The usual two room log cabin was erected on the land and other improvements made. Later a frame house was constructed there. During her six year tenure as a teacher, the young Nebraska lass taught for one year at Clarks Fort in Bridger, Montana. There she boarded with another Blanchard family, that of Mr. ' and Mrs. William Cook Blanchard, with whom she could trace no relationship. relation-ship. She met and married their son Don Carlos Blanchard on Sept. 7, 1902. Laughingly, the nonagenarian recalls re-calls spending the honeymoon on a Crow Indian Reservation picking plums to preserve for the oncoming winter. They labored over crops of wheat, oats and alfalfa only to have their grain wiped out by a plague of grasshoppers. Glowing reports of a booming lumber industry lured the couple and their five week old daughter to Oregon. They made the trip by covered wagon, departing from Red Lodge, Montana on August 2, 1903 with a party of seven wagons. Traveling over the higher mountain moun-tain frails was necessitated in order to have feed for the cattle and horses they were driving. Two months later on October 10, the family settled in Imbler, Oregon where they were able to trade a horse and buggy for a two room house and two lots. Mr. Blanchard engaged in freight ing logs and lumber until the lumber lum-ber panic of 1908 when all of the sawmills came to an abrupt close. He moved his family to Nampa, Idaho where he hired out with his team to haul sugar beets. Adversity struck the family again when the team of horses died during an anthrax epidemic. Dry farming at Rockland, Idaho over a period of years, established another freight line between Rockland Rock-land and American Falls, and finally entering road construction work took the family over various parts of the west. Twelve children were born to the couple and a glimpse at their birth places gives a clue to their route j of travel through the years. Iris 'w!s born Joliet, Montana; Alfred Al-fred at Elgin and Evelyn at Imbler, Oregon; Rueben at Nampa, Idaho; Ralph, Irvin, Joseph and Josephine at Rockland, Idaho; . Ella and Donna at Landing, Idaho; LaFay and Thad at Hansen, Idaho. Mrs. Blanchard attributes her longevity to hard work and abiding to the word of wisdom by being temperate in all things. She was ' converted to the Church of Jesus , Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1902 j by- her mother-in-law, Jerusha ; Walker Blanchard, who was a granddaughter of Hyrum Smith, brother of the patriarch, Joseph Smith. She received her Temple ! endowment in 1936 and since that j time has enjoyed doing endow-I endow-I ments and sealings in all of the iTpmnlps in thp ITrtitpH tfltoc artrt Canada with the exception of the Los Angeles Temple.
