  • A Pioneer Family of the Middle Border
    A PIONEER FAMILY OF THE MIDDLE BORDERS In 1860 father and mother decided to remove to Min­ nesota. From their old home at Lyons, Wisconsin, it was a three hundred mile journey to the new location in Minne­ sota, and there was no railroad west of the Mississippi. Aunt Emily, my mother's younger sister, had preceded us. She wrote that people were beginning to clamor for schools and there were few teachers, so she advised Aunt Mur to come with mother.

She gave up two daugh­ ters courageously, though she had little to encourage her to think that she would see mother again. In those days it was no uncommon thing for a daughter to go west with her husband, and never again see any of her own kin. One of our two wagons was loaded with the bulk of the household possessions — provisions, tools, and supplies. To It was hitched a handsome span of grey horses. Father drove this wagon. The other had some goods, clothing, bedding, and provisions for the trip, with room reserved for the children to play and sleep back of the seat. A white cover was put on this wagon — prairie schooners they were called later — and mother and Aunt Mur drove the span of old mares that pulled It. Three days out one of the greys lay down in his harness and died. Father could not afford to replace him, and he 'This narrative was read by Mr.
