She is veritably a pioneer. With her parents, she came across the Atlantic ocean as a small child, aboard a sailboat. She learned to walk during the toyage, She crossed the plains in a wagon, and a brother was bom during that trip. Her early home was a log room, with no floors. She endured pioneer hardships. Living at 109 Last First North, Mrs. Cardon is in fan ly good health. Her healing and eyesight aren't so good as they once were, but she has retained a beautiful graciousness, a gentility and an alertness which reflect a truly great personality. Faith and Courage A daughter, Claire, wrote about Mrs. Cardon: "Mother's faith and courage never falter. Her daily life is a to those positive around her. . . . Though she has been forced to give up the daily household tasks which she had alwithout comways performed plaint, she has kept her fingeis busy, and has crocheted afghans for all her children, and for some grandchildren.
