Alone in a Strange Land
It was arranged that if Mother needed Father when he was working in the field, she would tie a red rag on a pole. One day on our pioneer homestead (where our taxes the first year were 47 cents) one of the four small children became very ill suddenly.
When Father saw the red flag, he rushed to the house and strted on horseback for the doctor. He was gone nearly all day. When Father and the doctor got back, the baby had been dead for six hours.
My mother felt so alone in a strange land that day as she sat by the body of the baby. Such were the ways of our pioneer trails were blazed. Thanks to the tenacity of our parents, we are here to tell the stories. Mrs Henry M Price (Anna G Hastings)
