"In 1883, we were called to go on a mission to the Indians in Ibapah, together with Owen H. Barrus, Benjamin L. Bowen and families. The menfolks went early to plant crops and show the Indians how to farm; they then came back for their families. It took us eight days to travel that distance. We remained on this mission for 15 years. We had quite a number of cows and I used to make a great amount of butter; first, I preserved it by putting it in large kegs and barrels, and covering it with salt bags; but later, I left it fresh and used to sell it to miners and sheepmen for 25 cents a pound. After being released from this Indian mission, my husband and I took up a ranch where I re- BOYS County Sheriffs The Jeep Patrol was organized two years ago. In the two years we have purchased and installed two way radios in all vehicles of the unit. In addition to the radios we have equipped all vehicles with emergency supplies, which include food, blankets and cooking equipment. First Aid kits are on each vehicle and each member of the Patrol has completed the red cross standard and advanced first aid courses. We have also completed rescue training that the Civil Defense provides. Mrs. Hilda Erickson, Tooele County's only living pioneer, will celebrate her 102nd birthday on Saturday, November 11. This venerable lady, who thinks, dresses, and lives in a manner which clearly belies her age, is also believed to be Utah's oldest living pioneer. Open house, in honor of Mrs, Erickson, will be held at her residence in Grantsville, all day, Saturday, to receive her hundreds of admirers and friends. Mrs. Erickson tells her own story, as follows: "On the eve of my 102nd birthday, I will try to tell you a little of my life.
