The furniture was a stove and a table and a few chairs. It had a bed. The bed had no springs but it had ropes tied lengthwise and more ropes tied cross wise. They had no mattress. They had what was called a “tick.” It was the size of a mattress and was filled with new straw. Placed on the bed and smoothed out it was about 18 inches thick. It would be a real soft bed to sleep on, but as the straw would begin to flatten out, Lang would get lower and lower down to ing like you were sleeping on the a Then you would take out the old straw and fill it with new straw again. To have a real nice bed, they had to do this about every two or three weeks. The cupboards consisted of orange crates or boxes until Mother finally got a cupboard. After the house was built, they built a small hay barn and stable for the horses. The first Christmas was really something; we had a small Christmas tree and Mother would make all kinds of trinkets to trim the tree. We hung our stockings by the stove and you know, somehow, Santa found our new home and the next morning our stockings were filled with goodies and I remember that one toy that we got was a turtle. We would pull a string and it ees crawl along on the floor. This was the Christmas of 1900. The family ‘really enjoyed their home that winter. John Marshall Died The next year, great events were t happen. Grandmother Marshall’s home was near the center of Liberty. It was located near the old school house and the church and she owned 80 acres of land. Grandfather John Marshall, her husband, died 13 January 1891 leaving her with seven children—five girls and two boys. He was a progressive and prosperous farmer. He loved all kinds of animals but especially horses. He purchased one of the first purebred stallions and two purebred mares to come into Ogden Valley. In order to pay for these animals he had to mortgage his farm for $1,000. Grandfather had been dead for ten years now and Grandmother was having financial trouble. She sold the horses and applied the money on the mortgage but was still heavily in debt so the family got together and decided to do something about it. She sold 30 acres of land to her two sons in law—Chauncey and Uncle Walt Each was to have 15 acres. 15 acres was next to Chard’s, not far from Spring Creek. Uncle Walt’s 15 acres lay north of Fathers. In order to raise the money that grandmother needed, they decide that Father would work in the timber and he would get out the lumber, derrick poles, house lumber, and anything he could sell to raise money. Uncle Walt was to run the farm. They were to pool the money they got to give to grandmother. School Days Do you want me to tell you a story about when I went to school when I was a kid? When I first went to school, about the second week, I got homesick while I was in class and I began to cry. My school teacher’s name was Riley King. He was an elderly fellow and wore a mustache and was a very kind old fellow. I began to cry and he came down and picked me up in his arms and carried me around like I was a baby and pacified me and set me back down in my seat and I was alright then.
