UM r TOWARD
This book may be comprised mostly of names, dates, places and sketches, but to the observing reader, a whole world of information is now available# A birth represents joy and delight; marriage indicates romance and embarking on a new life or venture; deaths often mean sorrow; and when locations or places are changed within one lifetime, certainly a trip, a new life, a new home is represented. If one uses a little imagination, one can accompany an uncle to sea, cross a prairie, start a new business, start a new life, locate a gold mine or follow a railroad west. All of this can be done by observing the dates and places mentioned connected with a person, a spouse and their children.
A book of this kind is not the work of any one person. Many people have contributed to it. Special thanks goes to LaVeme Pfost Craig, Dorothy Burns Fernandez and many others. All have contributed data which was unavailable to me. This compilation is the result of a good many individual1 s effort and untold hours of time. We join with the reader to thank each person who has contributed data and information that would have been unavailable to me. A word of caution, The data entered in this volume are only as accurate as its source. Some are correct, some arc not. I have made no attempt to verify them, but have taken information from any and all sources. If data has been estimated, usually a (?) accompanies
the entry. The advanced genealogist may not approve, but it will provide the researcher a first place to investigate to obtain tne verification. May you enjoy this book to the fullest!

YOUR ANCESTRAL KEPTTAGE
^"^ilizat/ion had its beginning around an open fire. Her at its warmth gathered the family group to find safety, comfort, and companionship. In tracing the word "Fireplace" one finds it defini- tely related to the Latin word "Focus". There is the explanation of what home has always meant; for home is the center of life, -no mere residence of the body but the axis of the heart; the place where af ections develop themselves, children love and learn, where two toil together to imke life a blessing.
One.- ancesters are the flagstones that h^vo led U, home you now have, God asked no man if he would accept life. The choice was not, his to make. As each babe begins a new life from the warmth of a mothers lullaby to the adventures of adulthood, the days slip away as each flagstone is set in place; some carefully, some hast- ily__but all record the path of achievement of that person. As one looks backward along the path, it seems to fade and become obscured in the distance. It is hard to visualize tiie battles fought, • ae seas spanned, the wilderness braved, deserts walked, fields cleared * houses built, homes made and families loved and raised—each event the other side of the rolling hills. a stone in the path unseen on with their brothers and sisters is This book of past parents those ancesters and appreciate just an attempt to help you picture Of time they labored on the path that leads to yon. the span

Copied from BURNS FAiilLY RECORDS -y J. Montgomery Seaver American Historical-Genealogical Society 200 North Broad Street Philadelphia, Pa. After 1927 The Bums Family is among the forty-nine ”3est Families” selected by the American Historical-Genealofical Society for whom the Society has published family histories during the past few years. The Bums Family has been pro- minent in the British Empire and in the United States, its members having played important roles in war and in peace. Family pride is a commendable trait and should be cultivated. All kirns have just cause to be proud of their family history and traditions. The Scottish surname of Bums is said by some etymologists to be founed from the compound word fbum-house1, signifying a dwelling or croft resting upon the margin of a rivulet or small stream, Farm homesteads and private dwellings styled Bumhouse are common in all lowland countries, expecially in the counties of Fife and Kincardine, while the family name of Burns or Bumes is common in every district. ”By other etymologists the name, is thought to mean simply ’at the bum*. It is sometime equivalent to Bourne, and in the North a, small stream is still called a ’bum’. In the time of Edward the Confessor, Godric de Bumes was a great landholder in Kent, and his posterity continued in that county for several centuries. "In Scotland, the name appears in very early records in an unusual number of fonns. However, it is within recent vgenerations that the kinsmen of Robert Bums have varied that neme to Bumes and Bumess. "In the parish and other registers of Kincardineshire, the surname is variously spelled Bumes, Bumas, Bumase, Bumace and Bumess, and members of the Kincardineshire stock seem to have derived from a common ancestor at or about the farm of Bumhouse, now called Kair, in the parish of Arbuthnot. "Variations of the name are: Old Norse, Bjorn; Danish, Bom: Swedsh, Bern; Flemish, Bumy. In Domesday Book it is spelled Bom, Beom, Bum and Bern. The Bums Coat of Arms A Coat of Arms is an emblem or a device which is displayed by titled persons, persons of royal blood, and their descendants. Coats of Ams were originally used for purposes of identification and recognition on the field of battle as well as in civil life. There are records of Coats of Arms, in one crude form or another, at different periods of ancient history. Heraldry, however, as we know it to-day, did not become of much importance until soon after the invasion of England by William the Conqueror, A. D.1066. Heraldry became of general interest at about the time of the Crusades. 6
The Bums Coat of Aims shown is the Arms of the Bums of Scotland, from whom nearly all other Bums Families are descended* Almost all Bums families in Great Britain have some variation of it. The motto, Ob patriam vulnera passi, means having suffered wounds for our country. Arms: (Herald Language) Or, a fesse be Ween three mullets of six points pierced in chief and a hunting horn, strung, in base, all sable. (in English) A golden shield divided into two parts by a black hand; in the upper part, three black mullets cut away in the center to show the golden field; in the lower part, a black, beribboned hunting horn. Crest: (Heraldic) Out of clouds to sexter and sinister, two hand proper, clasped together and clasping three twigs of olive. (English) Issuing from clouds to the right and left, Wo hands in natural color, clasped together and clasping three Wigs of olive. Motto: (Latin) Ob patriam vulnera passi * (Eng.) Having suffered v;ounds for our country.
RELIGIONS OF THE BURNS For several centuries the Bums lived in Scotland. Most of the Scotch and, likewise, the Bums were and are of the Presbyterian faith. There are a few Bums of the Catholic faith in the British Isles, but it is estimated that their number does not exceed fifteen per cent of the entire Bums population. The Bums who came from the British Isles to America, continued in the faith of their fathers, for the most part, though their descendants in this country today will be found in the memberships of practically all the various churches. It is estimated that of all the Bums in America who are church J members, at least eighty percent am of the Protestant faith.

USE OF THE INDEX SYSTEM
The relationship of two persons is not hard to determine within •'•he immediate family, but when one attempts to determine second or third, cousins and once or more removed, the relationship is less than clear. Also, when speaking of a person on the family tree that has the same name as two or more other persons, which is not at all unusual, one needs another device to indicate exactly which person is referred to. An index. has been devised to help solve the problem. It is not perfect and is not always consistant but accomplishes the intended purpose. The scheme is as follows: Each person is assigned a code of a number, a letter and a number. The first number is the assumed generation within the family. The following letter or letters is the Family or Clan index. The next number separates the children of that generation. A number may precede the generation number followed by a comma or a letter may be added to the family index to separate parallel branches of a. family. When a family has more than ten children, all children numbers above eleven are followed by a comma, '//hen it is more clear to designate the children and grandchildren by the birth order of the generations above the child designated, a period or a comma follows the number before that generations order of birth.

Burns was a native of South Carolina and served under Jackson in the War of 1812. He married Martha James. Later he moved with family of five children to Monroe County, Tennessee. Efrmons F was bom there in 1819• In 1829 William took his family to Carroll County, Georgia. Later on the rich farm land of the west called and one August they traveled in Missouri looking for good farm land. They found wh t they wanted in Newton County and they settled in Buffalo Township. The County later divided putting their farm in McDonald County. Some of his sons traveled west with William and also settled in the community. (One record says Wim. moved from Penn, to Georgia) EMMONS F. BURNS (1236) Emmons was bora in Monroe County, Tenn. on Nov. 28, 1819 -and traveled west with his father to Missouri. He received little opportunity for schooling but obtained some in a primitive log schoolhouse in Georgia. Emmons took-up several hundred acres adjoining his father*s land to the west. On Jan. 19, 18U3, Emmons m-.rried Ieneretta Jane Beeman, who was the daughter of James Beeman, an Irish pioneer of McDonald County, and a fifer in the War of 1812. In 18U9 the Gold boom of California Emmons joined the "Rush”. Emmons and an Irish friend, Pat 0*Leary, joined the "Mule Brigade of ,U9,T to California. Bhmons and Pat washed enough gold from the streams to keep them grubstaked, and about a year later they located a placer mine near Eureke, California, and in a few days of panning, cleaned up a neat amount of dust and small nuggets. The Gold seemed to run out and Emmon decided to "Head for Missouri". His friend begged him to stay one more year and build a cabin. He sold his interest in the mine for fifty cents. (Pat later became wealthy from the nine) He returned to Missouri in the spring and built a new house. It was a long one-story structure with a porch across the front. Late in 185U or eary 1855 his wife, Jane, died in childbirth. Soon he realized that it would take more than the colored help to run his household and in a few months he married another Irish girl, Margarette E. Kennedy, a daugh ter of Thomas Kennedy (Betty) Emmons Burns was appointed deputy United States Marshall for the western district of Missouri, but in 1661 when the convention was called to consider the advisibility of the state of Missouri seceding from the Union, he resigned. Emmons joined the Southern forces and was appointed Captain under Sterling Price. He was immediately dispatched to Tennessee, where he was in the battle of Wilson Creek. Later he came home on furlough and mortgaged his farm to aid the Confrderate cause. While he was gone, the family existed on very little. The Yankee soldiers occupied that part of Missouri and took from the people practically all the available food. The "Salt Famine" of the south also extended to the Burns family. One day the soldiers burned the Wm and Bums homes because they felt they were responsible for some stolen horses. The two families moved in with the Emmons' sister Betsy Ray. With other relatives and friends there were over fifty children and adults. Emmons was a prisoner of war for three years for three years at Camp Norton, Indianapolis, Indiana. Food was scarceand he arrived home broken in health about three months after his release. (There is an indication that he lost a leg during the way.) Getting the farm back into production was almost impossible for invalid Emmons and his sons without animals or colored help to put in the crops. In 1876, his son, Mart, left for the west and came back about six years later with enough money to pay off the mortgage and add on to the house. In the '80s Emmons surveyed for the State of Missouri. I 29 EMMONS F. BURNS (12336) Eknrcons F. Burns was born in Monroe County, Tenn., on November 28, 1319, and is a son of William R. Burns (deceased), a native of South Carolina, who served under Jackson in the War of 1012. The latter removed his family to Carroll County, Oa., _ in 1829, thence to McDonald County, Mo., in 18U1, settling in Buffalo Tv/n., which territory was then a part of Newton County. Emmons F. 3ums had very little opportunity for attending school, but what education he received in the primitive log school-house has been much improved by study at home, and, since arriving at years 01 maturity, by much desultory reading. On January 19, 13U3, he wedded Jane Beeman, who was a daughter of James Beeman, now deceased, who was a poineer of Me Donald County, and was a fifer in the War of 1812• Mrs Burns died on March 16, 1856, having borne six children-., three of whom, Milton, Samuel M. and John vJ. are living. One daughter, Amanda (Bird), died at the age of thirty years, leaving a husband and two children. On July 10, 1856, Mr Bums married Margaret E. Kennedy, a daughter of Thomas J. Kennedy (deceased). Eight children have been born of this union, of whom five are living: Laura (Fox), William F., Emmons T., Leander and Aletha B. One son, Thomas J., died on June 27, 1886, aged sixteen years. Mr Burns is the owner of 22li acres of lend, and devotes his time chiefly to agricultural pursuits. For ten years he servedas surveyor of Me Donald County, and as county assessor for one year. He also servoed as justice of the reace for many years, and for a short time before the war as deputy United States marshal for the western district of Missouri. Trie family aredevout Christians and members of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. Their son, Milton, ia a minister of the Gospel. William F. and Emmons R. are school-teachers.

Je v eleven years old when his father came home from the Civil War. His father, Emmons, came back an invalid from the war. Tne farm was heavily mort- gaged to help the southern cause, had lost all its stock, and had about gone back to its natural state of wilderness from not being cultivaed. It was almost impossible to but the farm back on a paying basis. Mart and his brothers helped all they could, but because of inexperience, no animals or colored help the progress was very slow. In 1876 Mart felt if he could go west he might he might be able to earn enough money to help the problem. Jim Stewart and his folks had left for the west the year before and had written him from LaVeta, Colorado, that they were heading for Idaho and Oregon. With the spring work out of the way, Mart headed for LaVeta.on the train, and met the Stewarts. He looked over the gold fields without success, so they joined an emigrant train in June and arrived in Boise City on August 10, 1877. The next day they started for Oregon but a day or so later they turned back to Boise City. Mart got a job oh a farm with a Mr Ellis, Ellis was running a freight line from Kelton, Utah, the end of the railroad to Ida.io City, Since Mart was able to nandle horses, he was soon allowed to drive a freight wagon. (A round trip took about three weeks), After the first two pay days, Mart drew no salary. \fter four ye rs Mart contracted to buy a fourteen-mule team and freight wagon for two thousand dollars from Ellis, After about two more years he sold the outfit md returned to Missouri. In the fall Mart returned home to Missouri, paid the mortgage off on the farm. With his brothers he added on to the house to make it more comfortable. The next spring Mart decided to go again to Idaho and his took his brother, Frank, with him. This time he trying prospecting in the Hailey area and worked for others in the mines, lie also played a fiddle for the dances on Saturday nights. That fall he went back to the Stewarts to live over the winter. The next spring the Stewarts decided to build a new nouse and Mart helped with it. He met his future wife Mollie Pfost while working on the house, She lived a few houses away. He freighted the rest of the summer. In the fall Frank was not feeling well and the two boys returned to Missouri for the winter. The next Soring, Mart, Frank and their sister Laura with her husband John Fox left for Idaho. Mart went back to the Mines at Ketchem Idaho. Early in the fall he wrote a letter to Mollie °host proposing marriage, she accepted and they were married at the Pfost home on Feb. 11, 1885. They returned to Ketchum for their honeymoon. A couple of months later they received a letter from the Pfosts saying Mollies mother was ill. They moved to Boise. Mart took up a desert claim on Ten Mile creek about five miles west of the Pfost home. When Mrs Pfost died in in Dec. 1885, Mart and his wife moved to the Pfost home to take care of the family after Mol liefs first child was born in Jan 1886. Mart took a very active role in church doings. He sang and conducted the Choir. In 1890 Mart and his wife filed on U80 acres of land just west of Boise because the Ridenbaugh canal was been extended west. In 1895 Mart returned again to Missouri for about a month. HisFather had died and he brought his step-mother back to Idaho with him for an extended visit in Idaho. 36 Martin Burns: Cont. About 1897 Mart decided that the children need better schooling and °f them could use an easier life. He therefor purchased a general merch andise store in Hunter (Meridian)# He traded one of his south UO acres for the store and building. In August before school they moved to town,and luo^ed his family into living quarters to the side and over the store building. A year later he built a large home on the corner on five lots to the south east comer of First and Idano streets. Isaac Pfost, Mollie^ father,had located some minine claims at Josephus Lakes. He gave several good ones to Mart. Mart incorporated the Burns Mining and Mill- ing Company with several of the Meridian businessmen and each summer he would take his family by wagon and some of his partners and spend the summer at the Mine doing assessment work. They traveled from Boise along the foothills to Camas Prairie to Haily, then north to Stanley and west to Cape Horn and north over Vanity summit down Rapid River and up Float Creek to the Lakes. They built three cabins near the mine and lived there during the summer months. About 1698 Mart interested his brother Frank to go in partnership in a store in Nampa. The building was across from the Depot, The business was not increasing and Mart moved his family in 1899 to Nampa to help out. In the process Mart interested John Fox to enter the Partersnip and the store changed its name from Burns Bros, to Burns Brothers and Fox. Early in 1900 Martin moved back to Meridian. The store did well and moved to a new brick two story building across from the Dewey Place Hotel, The business was sold in 1907. Mart continued to run his store in Meridian successfully# He lead the Choir in the Methodist Church and was noted as an excellent tenor, It is interesting that his daughter Almia was the first girl married in the Church. All of hi-45 daughter-* and Grover had formal weddings, something reserved for the more or less well-to-do. In '918 there wAs a family reunion camping trip at Bear Valley, north west of Council, Idaho. On his way home they stayed a few days with his daughter at their farm in Cambridge. One night he died of heart failure while asleep. (taken from Generations, by Apal Friedline, and others) TILE BURNS-FOX COMPANY General Merchandise This company is successor to S. M# Bums, a poineer merchant of Meridian, who, with the patience and grit of the typical pioneer, installed a stock of goods in one of the two buildings then in the place, and while all the surrounding country was very thinly settled. This was only eight years ago, but eight years in the live of Idaho and in one of its garden spots especially, means marvelous improvements, thanks to the work of just such trai 1-blazers as the senior member of this firm. Bums-Fox owns a ranch and an enviable 20 acre apple orchard in the vicinity, and some choice town lots in Meridian. Another enviable possession of this gentleman is a daughter, whose portrait is the front piece of this number of the Idaho Magazine. (The Idaho Magazine, March 1904, Vol. I, No. 3, Boise, Idaho) 37 MOLLIE PFOST BURNS Mary Elizabeth Pfost was bom in Bates County, Missouri, on Nov. 14* 1367- Her parents were Isaac Pfost and Margarette Koontz Pfost. When she was eleven years her folks in May 1373 joined a wagon train headed west to Oregon from Independence, Missouri. In addition to Mollie there were other children; John, Emmett, Effa and Otis. One incident that was recorded about Mollie on the trip west happened one day in Nebraska. Mollie and some other girls decided to walk the rails of the railroad which parallel the wagon road most of the time, The wagon road and wagon took a sharp turn aro: nd a knoll. Since this was usual and the road always came back to the railroad, the girls followed the easier path of the tracks. After an hour or so a handcar came down the tracks v/ith some men on it. It sloped near the girls. The men talked together and then rode away. The girls walked on. The midsummer sun was hot and the girls began to get very thirsty. Later a house was sighted beside the track in the distance, As they drew near a woman came out and smiled at them. She spoke no English, .just smiled. When they asked for water, she just smiled. Finally they made themselves understand. They received a drink and rested for a time in the shade before plodding on. About dusk the wagon train made camp near the tracks and the families discovered that the girls were missing. Just as a party was about to set out to look for the girls, they appeared in the distance down the tracks, Ins bead of a short-cut the rails had taken a longer path than the wagon trail. The wagon train pulled up to make camp on the south side of the Boise river one Saturday afternoon in August. In a few days HoHie^s fatter found a little house to live in on WashingtonStreet between Seventh and Eighth. After buying a sheet iron stove and some pine lumber to make a table, bed, and benches to sit on and paying out a months rent the family only had a dollar and fifty cents left. Isaac immediate found a job working on the streets for a dollar and a half a day. A year later Isaac moved to a gulch about two miles west of Boise on a place that had lots of Cottonwood trees. He cleared the land and sold the wood for a handsome price of 10.00 a co:^d. During the summer months they raised vegetables for sale to the miners. After a couple of years the family finances improved enough that they moved back to boise to a house on 14th Street. When Mollie was sixteen, a young man named Mart Bums begin to call at the Pfost home. As he was 15 years older, shedid not consider him a suiter. The next year Isaac homesteaded a 160 acre farm on Five Mile Creek near the second Bluff and built a small house v/ith two rooms on the first floor and two bedroom upstairs. Since there was no school in the area for the next year Mollie held school for her brothers and sister Effa. In another year the Five Mile School was built with Frank Bums serving as the first teacher. In the early fall of 1884 Mollie received a letter from ICetchum, Idaho. Mart Bums who was working in the mines there wrote a friendly letter. She replied and shortly received another letter from Mart asking for her hand. After prayer and serious consideration, she replied in the affirmative. Mart arrived in Boise in January. On Feb. 11, 1885 the wedding was held in the front room of her home and they spent the first night of their honeymoon in Boise at the luxurious Over land Hotel. The following day they took the stage coach to Kuna to catch a train to Hailey, Idaho, They finished their journey to Ketchum by sleigh and started their married life. In the late spring Mollie received a letter saying her Mother was in ill health and they moved back to Boise and took up a desert claim on Ten Mile Creek. They lived in a tent until a house could be built. 33 Mollie Pfost Bums, Page 2 On Dec. 27, 1885 Mollie's mother died and on Jan 21st her first child was bom and was named James Grover. Later in the year Mart and Mollie moved to Dry Creek on the north side O" valley and the next year Elsie was bom. This birth was unusual because of a misunderstanding between Mollie and her husband, the baby was bom with no other person present. It must have been a difficult time for Mollie. In the fall of 1887 it was felt best for Isaac and his children to move in with them and Mollie had a family of eight children to care for. The ne:ct summer Isaac left for the mountains to work on some mining property he had located. That fall Mart and Isaac rented 500 acres south and west of Boise and below the bluff for $ 1000.00 cash rent. The next year Isaac again went back to mining and Mollie took care of her brothers and sisters as well as her own family. After a very successful crop of grain, Mollie and Mart filed on 480 acres of land several miles west on the flat (bench) and moved on the land on Dec. 1990. Her brothers were getting old enough to be on their own but Mollie had Effa Mae stay with her to help with the work for the next couple of years. Effa Mae married Boyd Bums (no relation to Mart) in Dec. 1393* and Daisy came to take her place in the Bums household. The long, long years of hard work began to pay off. They had sold two quarter sections and lived in a home as good as any on the bench with a bam, a Bee shed and house for processing the honey, and 40 acres in orchard. They also had built a house across the creek for their hired man, Dan Brindlo, and his family. In 1895 Mat traded the south 40 acres for a general merchandise store and building with living quarters in Meridian and in august moved his family a mile and half (as the crow flies) into town. A year later the family moved into a two story house with screen porches front and back a block av/ay on the North east comer of Idaho and East First Streets. Because of the high freight rates on the branch line to Meridian, it would be advantageous to open a score in Nampa. It was done with Mart's brother, Frank, as partner and manager. Later the store was in financial trouble and Mollie's family moved to Nampa. On Dec. 50, 1899 her last child, Waldo, was bom. The following year the business profit of the store inproved and the family moved back to Meridian. In the following years the family grew up into adulthood. Grover married Ethel Bums in 1910 and left to establish a photographic practice in Denver. Elsie was sent to school at Moscow, Mi It on-Freewater and Albion Noimal school. She taught school in Cambridge and found her husband there and was married in 1912. Anal was courted by Dr. Abe Friedline of Boise and won her hand in Jan. 1913* he built her a new house on 22nd Street. Almia studied music in Denver and also taught school in Cambridge and mot her future husband and married in late 1913. It seemed that only the more well-to-do families held formal weddings and dinners. All the children were so privileged. Almia was married in the Church, the first person to do so in the life of the church. It was not a common practice and the third, church wedding was held some 50 years later. After moving back from Nampa Mart still kept a manager in the store and in the summertime went mining at Josephus Lakes. Several years along about the last of June they would outfit a couple of wagons and travel east along the foot hills to Tollgate and Dixie. From there the road led east into Camas prarie to Believe and north to Hailey and Ketchura. They continued north past the Sawtooth lakes over Galena summit to Stanley. Then they followed Valley creek west to Cape Horn and turned North over Vanity summit and down Rapid River to Float Creek and Josephus Lakes and the mine. 39 Ho Hie Pfost Bums, Page 3 For Mollie it was a vacation from the normal life and for the kids, it was a lark. About the first of August ^CJ^Q the Bums’ Friedlines, Haasches and Burkes went on a mountain outing on Bear Creek, northwest of Council* They established a camps of tents and enjoyed fishing and the mountain air* On the way home Mollie and Mart stopped at the Burkes at Cambridge to spend a few days* On the 15th Mart passed away that morning peacefully while still in bed. Mollie lived in her home in Meridian. She rented out the garage and built some small shops on the east side of her home property for renting, Waldo grew up and joined the army and landed in Prance. After he cajne home, Mollie decided in the late twenties decided that the house should be torn down and a service station built on the center of town comer. Waldo was installed as manager and operator. Mollie often visited her children to the delight of the grandchildren, because she paid a lot of attention to them. It can be said that she enjoyed her life. She had several cknices to remarry, but chose not to do so* She said it seemed like all the men she knew ’’Popped the question”. Mollie traded all the mining stock she owned and bought a house on the South west comer of Pine and Meridian streets where she lived until she passed away at the age of sixty six. Mollie had what most would call a hard, life, She raised her own fanily under pioneer conditions as well as all her younger brothers and sisters. Most of the time it was a struggle just to make ends meet and fortune was just around the comer. Her Children and grandchildren were very appreciative of her kindness and love she always gave them. Mollie was truly a storybook kind of woman! 40 Excerpts from THE IISPJDIAH TIKES April 12, 1912s Miss Apal Bums has gone to Notus, Idaho, where she has accepted a position in a store.

They roasted their ore in a roaster that was just about 20 feet below the crossing of the upper Josephus lake. The roaster was still standing in 19Ul• There was no connection to the Bo ns Mining & milling company. That com. anv was formed years later. My ..oiks started taking me up to the Seafoam county in 1-393 (1903) and I only missed one year until 1917 so my memories are sure full of good times* Going in .and out i rode a pack horse most of the time on top of r. wheel barrow turned upside down. The legs of the barrow were my steering wheel from Wagon Town which was the end of the wagon road until 1910 when the Greyhound Mining Co. finished the road into their smelter. The smelter md a sawmill was packed in on mules from W'agon "Jfown and then built. What a sight. About 15 big mules with some loads up to 300 lbs did tne job. rgy, bub those big mules were strong. Only wish that we had some of the old pictures tnat were destroyed by flood waters after we came to Calif. I can remember that for several years Dad and Mother worked for the Greyhound after they completed the assessment work, so I can say the mining industry was kind to my folks. Of course mother was cook and Dad was a miner. Merle ~nd I were horse wranglers. Every morning we were up at 5*00 \.L. and both rode one horse up the gulch and brought the horses in. The bunch grass was wonderful so the horses stayed pretty close; never exceeded a mile. When we go back with the horses, of course, mother hud bre kf ast for the camp and we lived like kings. Sunday was our day for fishing so most of the time it was Josephus Lake or Dell-Diver about a mile on up the gulch. Once I went, with two men end we got lost. They wouldn't listen to me even though the country was familiar because at times the Worses would get over the mountions in that area. Finally after two days we were on tne Old Bull Dog mine trail and I got them to go to the top ol the hill we were on an when we got there, I showed them the Bates and Mahoney log cabin. ..e called down to them just as they were getting ready to go to work. They waited how ever until we got down to them and in as much as we had not eaten for two days, they cooked us a. breakfast. It was sure good' I asked them if they had nut sugar on the venisen. They sure laughed. Then we headed down the £ulch to the Greyhound. They were shutting down the mine to go look for us. That story ended there but my feet were blistered and mother wrapped them up and in a few days they were OK. Merle and I did our fishing and hunting alone af ter t hat After Merle got out of High School, he went with an Engineering Co. so that left me alone at home. Dad would always arrange to get one of my school friends to go up there during the summer months and life was a picnic all of the time. M/lien we were big enough to lift a 100 lib sack of ore, we packed the ore down from our mine to the road at Seafoam. When ever a load was ready Dad had made an arrangement with a freight man to come in and haul the ore to Ketchum where it was loaded on a freight can and shipped to Salt Lake. Deer and fish were always plentyful so when vie had time off, we would go fishing and hunting. When we did go fishing we went to Vanity Lake. It vies in the big cstch class, We would take two horses and corne home in the evening with hundreds of fish. Dad would have two or three men working the 45 +C ^Ver Wastec** The water was cold in the springs and Mother • + «. , Pe 1^s Just enough, then put them in buckets with lids on. Then H , or re^Tast and venison for dinner. Once in a while a home smoked ham was cut into. What a feast. That was ny life until 1917. Then I enlisted and worked for Uncle Sam until March 20, 1919. I have never written so much in all my life about my boyhood days. It seems all new again. When I first came to Sacramento, I used to talk to Dave Farmer1 s son, who was with the Post Office as a mail carrier in Sacrament©, He died shortly after that. so„ y°ur statement about me being the only living person that could give you information about the mines is about right. Harold Cr.-'ig and La Vera can give you a lot. oi information about Float creek as he hid a truck line and hauled a lot of machinery up Float Creek to Harlen Gulch and the Seafoara Mill tnat was built shortly after War I. .e hope to get up to Boise if our health is good. Hazel is about Blind. One eye is gone completely. I read a lot to her. Time will tell about the trip. The cabin at the base of thr mountain at Josephus Lakes was built around 1^905 and that was the only cabin at the time we were there in 19h0. ou* in front of the cabin was a tent house where Mother and the boys slept, /if ter the Hasbrooks took over the mine and claims, nothing was kept up so it deteriated. The ore that was shipped in 19U0 was our work under a deal with Mrs Hasbrook. We made a deal for the B. M&M property during the summer of 19U0 and 19i|1 • After the war,I had lost the lease and the Harris Mining Co. of San Francisco took over. What they did I never saw, but understand they had out out about $ 35,000.00 in tunnel work When we had the mine we run the first tunnel about where we built a loading shoot for the truckers. That tunnel went about 150 feet back with no ore disclosed. The next tunnel was back about 50 feet with a ledge on the right side and a blacksmith shop located just north of the mouth about 50 feet. We shipped eight carloads and most of the volumn was out of this tunnel from the stoops and sinking and mining to the south. Doris (Hazel1 s sister) and he*'* husband Frank, Ralph and I did all of the work. We would start at 7:00 AM. and work until 6:00 PM. It was all hand work and we really worked a full six days a week. Sundays ’were left for fun and frolick. The girls and boys played cards most nights. I would go to bed early after dinner all tired out. Hazel and Doris beautified the cabin inside and out. We had flowers all around even to the "john" out, back of the cabin. We recovered enough pipe to pipe the water right into the sink in the kitchen. The stove was an old one hut we patched it up and we sure enjoyed the food. Doris was and is now a wonderful cook. During the summer vie killed eleven deer. We used only the steaks and roasts and then the girls canned the rest. After we got home in Meridian we had canned venison for years. If I were 10-20 years younger, I know, with the price of Gold, Silver and Lead up like it is we could take out several thousand dollars but it is too late now. In 19l±1 the Harris Mining Co. that took over the lease after War sent a ^eulogist in to look over the property and he run a survey line from Seafoam Mountain down into Harlan Gulch and then over the Josephus mountain to where we were mining and the line was off .01$ to the tunnel we were mining in. The vein that was in the tunnel was not good enough for shipping so the ore we took out was from a pocket I found on the right hand side. It assayed 2 oz. in Gold at $ 35.00 an oz., 20 oz silver 0 .90 / oz and 15$ lead § 22^/lb. The total value was around $ 100.00 per ton. One can see what it would be worth today. All the ore that was shipped from the area in 19U0-1 was ours. It was a car that was shinned fr-om the'Hasbrook property that gave me the idea for our mining venture. The Harris Mining Co. signed an option with me for $ 100.000.00 but the war came along ani ended our deal. This is the end of my story. 46 From Robert Pfost, Jan 13, 1977 — “rsrjMr8iT* SdiLS ss rr '*Z£riStt& sr ‘isisss’.fis su fo fh . . . " °r,/ starts- ^ was about 5 years old and never missed a year nrXm. ° °°eT)hus Lake., and the gulch which vxas named FI oaf Creek Tl 2 * f* irst gulch east of Float Creek was known as Harlan Creek. The nextjulch on the east was called Sea Foam Creek Districk. Dad used to have some pretty good horses ana one was a race horse called Sea i?;*1- ^rpf ^f10 there i'rom nountain fever w.iich was caused from tick 1 es* ie °tcks were so thick that when you rode down the trail you could + u ^ scrape the ticks off your pant legs. Anyway the horse died and t e lSurict was named Sea Foam. I don't thinrttnis information vxas ev^ r gi/en to tne sorest Ranger that was in that area.. Low back to Float Creek, Mart was Dad's son-in-law after he married Mollie Pfost. Mart formed the Burns Mining and Milling Corporation and of course the head quarters was in Mf idian and I guess most of the people in and around Meridian bought stock and each and every year there after Mart took some of the stock holders up to the Josephus Lakes where the head quarters were established and yearly assessment work was done on the claims that were located. In as much as the claims joined together all the assesment can be done on one claim and that is what happened after a few years of scratching the surface around the lake. Roasting the ore was done in a little roaster that set right on tne little stream between the two Lakes. When the Greyhound Mining Co. put in the srnelter over the hill west of the lukes all the available ore in the whole district was delivered to them but they froze the smelter from mis management so nothing ever come from the Greyhound. A little story of a lost cache was cleared up the summer of 19U2. One time Mart and Daly had to go to Stanley, thdy were gone for a week or so. Some of the men that were roasting ore and they high jacked some of the Ore and cached it about a mile up Float Creek. Wien Mart and Daly came back from their trip Mart noticed a new trail taking off from the main one so they turned off and followed to vxhere these men were storing the roasted ore in sacks that were stamped B&D. Of course the men were fired and after Hart died nothing had been done with the ore. One day when Grover (Bums) was up there and we were mining the Bums MScM property on a lease Grover asked me if Mart had ever told me about the stolen ore. My answer was no. So Grover told me the story and discribed about where the cache was. When ever we had time we would look for the cache. One day H azel*s#sister Doris and her husband who was working with us and an old Packer who was spending a few days with us took off and hunted for the cache^ stopoed to have a cigarette and was sitting on a big lo_-g. She looked down and saw some old sacks piled below her so she and the packer got under the log and there were the sacks with B&D stamped on tnem. So that was the finis of the lfi^t cache. We resacked the ore and made a deal with toe oacker to pack the ore down to the road we used to haul ore from our oper ations. There seventy 12$ lb. sacks, I took a samje for assay purposes, but the ore was not worth any more than what we were shipping. 47 Page two Robt Pfost 1/13/77 bac o turns illing. /ifter 1917 I went to the Army (World War I) and ou S1 ? ° u is ing trips to Josephus Lakes I was on poltry and egg busi- . aZe^ s plenty of work in our business and did not think of mining. Then things happened in 1931-32-33 and pretty well finished all that had gone into the poulty and egg business, us included so we went back to where we started in 1919. we had built a nice home in Meridian and I got into the insurance business but it was no'o too good and then got a pretty good job with the Dept of Agriculture. Then in 19U1 (19U0) began to fool around with mining and a very good iriend in Boise (Jim Hawley) an attorney had taken over the Burns property for legaal fees so Jim asked me one day what I knew about the property. So in 19U0 I made a few trips to Josephus Lakes. (Fishing was still good) I looked into the possibilities of open ing the old mine up. I opened up an old tunnel on one of the claims and when I got back to solid rock there was spill the old ledge that I had not seen since 191U .. I took samples and the results showed about $ 100.00 a ton value. When I got back to Boise, I made adeal witn dim Hawley on the mine. In 19Ul I continued to aevelope the mine some more and that fall accumulated one big car load and shipped it to Salt Lake. After all expences were paid i received a check of 900.00 from the smelting company. in 19u2, triu Pfost family, Doris and her husband all headed late in June for Josephus Lakes to mine. We got out eight car loads during the short summer. It was all hand work but what a summer we had. Food and meat was rationed so we ate off the country (fish and venison). Doris is tops as a cook and we really ate pretty high off the hog. During the summer the Haris Mining Co from San Francisco sent a geoligest in to look over the property and after a couple weeks we sold the property to them for $ 100,000.00. About that time 'World War II came along and all gold mining was closed down so we lost our lease, After the war was over I was set in another business. I understand the Haris Mining Co. took over the mineand drove a tunnel thru the mountain but missed the ledge as our lead petered out. I understand the Haris people spent $ 35,000.00 and gave up. That ended the Bums Mining and Milling Company. Jim Hawley died about 1950 and so has the History of x.he d. KM M. Co. Our summer of 19U2 was one of the nicest and most enjoyable our family ever had. It was hard work, but work never hurt anyone. We made expenses and had a little left over. With the price of gold today it still is a good bet. We received $ 32.00 an ounce on Gold., $ 0.90 an ounce on Silver and $ .20 on lead, but what a year. 48 ISAAC PPOST QUITS THE MINE Veteran Turn^ \f ,Pr°spectino and Development, the /eteran Turns Work Over to Others.

This is in the vicinity of Cape Horn, the Saw Tooth summit and neo-iion ar.es, and the last 14 miles is reached by a wagon road along the ore- cipitous mountain side, costing 0 22,000. Most of the expense of this end of tne road was met by the Greyhound company, which own a smelter and is doing a big business. All the waY can now be reached by auto, and several Meridian parties including Dr. Neal, Or. Dutton, and Harry Tolleth made the trio last summer with out accident. During the years Mr. Pfost has operated in the Sea Foam district, he has seen great prosperity and later dull tines, and especially did the district feel the effect of the legislation against silver, Nov/ that silver is coming to its own he expects a boon in the mining industry. On his five claims, he has frequently realized as much as $ 300 to the ton in gold, silver and lead, but the usual run is 230 pounds of silver to the ton, 40 pounds of lead, and # 20 of gold values. The cost of hauling the 100 miles to Ketchum, means that only the better mines pay, and with the high price of ores this year, it is expected that the Sea Foam district v/ill prove very satisfactory to all those interested. In this district are the claims of the Bums Mining and Milling Co. in which Dave Farmer and others are interested. These are on Sheep mountains 15 miles from the Pfost claims. The Meridian Times. BURNS PARTY RETURNS S. M. Bums, with his sons, Grover and Waldo, and Emil Johnson, arrived in Meridian Sunday, after six weeks1 spent in the Sea Foam mining district, in the Cape Horn country, 143 miles due north of Ketchum. On their way down they caught" 500 trout in one day and they distributed this out on their arrival. rp^ey have some interesting stories to tell of their trip, and as they were 23 miles from the nearest postoffice, Cape Horn, and as it required about three weeks for a letter to get out there, they lose track of civilization. They per formed the annual assessment v/ork on the Bums group, and met eastern parties who*are planning to buy. The tunnel of the Lakeview is in 150 feet, and from this ore has been taken in considerable quantities and shipped. This is the onlvone of the p-roup that a tunnel is in for any considerable depth, all show good o?e boSes^? laid, silver and lead. A distance of 143 miles to the rail road at Ketchum makes the shipment of the ores expensive. Isaac Pfost returned this week from his mines, which are located about a mile from the Bums'group. In Pfost's mine, "the Mayflower," a ledge has been sirinued which leaves an 13-inch body of gold and iron ore. ” warty report that all kinds of wild game including deer cougars, ? j ‘ +aArt linns are that section of Custer county.

In 1905 he graduated from the Illinois College o. Fho vOgmpny, having from early childhood felt a strong desire to n?he ohotogr:’ phy his lue work. On completion of his course he went to Denver, Colorado, where he remained for five years, since which time he has made his home in Boise. Throughout the entire period he had engaged in Fiiotograhhic work ana since coming to Boise about six years ago has made a specialty of indoor photography, in which lline lie excels, building up an enviable reputation in this connection in the capital city. In fact when anyone in Boise wishes fine indoor or outdoor photographic work done in or about his hone the services of Nr Bums are secured. In 1919 he erected at the comer of 13th and State streets one of the most artistic hones in Boise—a building of the semi-bunglow type, it being a residence and studio combined, such a combination as is rarely seen outside of the large cities. The dace is of unique design, wholly uhLike anything else in Boise or the state and is admired by all who see it. Phe design was made by Mr and Mrs Bums and is indicative of their artistic taste. On the 31st of August, 1910, Mr Bums was married to Miss F.thel June Hedges, a native of Nebraska, who came to Boise Valley with her parents when 14 years of sure, the family locating on a Sanch near Meridian in 1901. ’-here she spent her girlhood and v/as graduated from tne Meridian high school, supple menting her education by attending Cotner University at Lincoln Nebraska, from wMch -he w°r< ^duated, and then returned to Meridian, where she taught in the public schools for several years before she was married.

I wanted to see what it could be for T had never seen anything just like it before, It was a spank- ing brand new wa.gon. I had never seen ne so beautiful. The only play wagon I had ever seen was one wooden wheels and a rough box to sit in. My young uncles and aunts of which three were but a very few years older than 1, used that wagon to haul wood to the house or take slop to the pigs or at times take me or one of themselves for a ride. My parents could never have known how many years of pleasure they x*ere giving me when they presented me with that little red wagon. A year or so before the time spoken of above, my mother*s mother had gone to her final reward leaving a moderately large family with several small child ren among them. So my father having been great friends with my mother*s father in the earlier frontier days, when they freighted between Kelton and Boise City, they decided to go together and rent a 700 acre ranch owned by Mrs. McCarty which lay on the river bottom just above the Thurman flour mill, with the Boise river as a boundary line on the north. My mother being the oldest one in the family again took her place with her brothers and sisters. She took over the management of the household affairs with the help of a younger sister named Effie. It is this Aunt Effie that played quite a part in my young life. The next morning after the arrival of the little red -wagon I awoke cry ing. I remember it quite clearly. My Auntie took me up and to quiet me, put me in my little wagon and of course this had the desired effect. It was on this ranch that I was of the age to *rant to follow the older children away on their rambles and of course I was a bother to have along on their longer trips, so they would slip away to keep me from following them. But sometimes I would see them in the distance and attempt to follow them and then probably get lost in the tall hay or grain. It was after one of these times of getting lost that my mother told me that she heard a cougar howling on the bluff last night and was worried that he would geo me sometime li I ,n, lu, . t had heard coyoties howling from off the bluff and they would nak ^ warning a bout the cougar had an effect on me for a one sleeping with me. ^'heXiXr where they would some times fish.

I remember my mother trying at one time to build a chicken house by digging a dirt pit for the o L.om an using sagebrush for the walls, while I ran after chipmonks and groun> squirrels. I remember well how my father came home one Saturday night and tne next day, after our Sunday dinner, we went for a walk up through the sagebrusn. We crossed back and forth across a small Greek with my father carrying my small sister. The water supply gave out before it reached with in several, miles of our place and the homestead was sold for q>200000 and we moved away. The following year is rather indistinct in my memory, if it was a year, for the next thing I remember was another move to another sagebrush ranch. My father had by now sold two homestead and now he had taken up a desert claim. My grandfather had taken up a half section (320 acres) of land as a timber culture, which is now that parcel of land which is just across the road north and west of the Yost station. This ranch was afterwards traded to Tom McMillan for the "up-to-date" hotel, The Pacific Hotel of Boise, Idsho. My father's desert claim of 320 acres was divided up as follows—160 acres was on the southeast corner of the inter-secticn, and 160 acres was on the northwest corner. It was located at what is now called the Bissel Station, near Meridian, Idaho, Afterwards my father purchased the 1*0 acres on the south-west corner and later sold it to a Mr. Bissel who hired a Mr. Martin to set it out to apples and tend and water it. Later Mr Nick Yost took the job until he got his own pb ce going. Across the road north from this Bissel place was Mr. Yost's place. My grandfather's place was just across the road north of our place. The south line extended the full length of _the section east and west or one mile. His house was about three quarters of a mile from the comer of our place. , .

They had cleared the forests oo make room to plant tneir crops of cane, sweetpotatoes and com. The cane was mar.c into sorghum and molasses; the com was ground into meal for bread; an .*e sweet potatoes were baked. So with cornbread and molasses with baked sweet potatoes,. they fared well and were contented. i.r Emmons Bums had met a sweet and beautiful girl down in Georgia and in time woo'ed and won this wonderful Irish lassie and carried her off to the far western frontier of that time, They choose for their home-site a quarter- section of land on the ourskirts of the small community, where there was a fine stream of water flowing. At the big bend of the stream, they chose a nice building site and at once started the building of a comfortable sized cabin. They arrived in the spring time and needed to clear a small acreage for the coming crops. They needed a good harvest to tide them through the coming winter. Those were busy days and time flew by so fast they hardly took notice how the farm had progressed, for they were now completing their fifth harvest. The children, yes the children, were out with their with their father. They were watching him cut the corn and pile it in large piles or shocks. Watching him were two fine boys. The eldest one was named John and the baby was named Milton which was already shortened to Milt, The folks were now planning for another little one that would arrive some time the coming spring. The bo^s of the community had a wonderful time roaming the forests in the autumn/nicking"hazel-nuts, walnuts and hickory nuts to be put in store for the long winter evenings by the fireside. The boys would come together with their do^s for a coon or possum hunt.

Irvin was 1U years old and I was 15* These horses were bought by our fathers to be used a little later on an early pack trip to uhe Thunder Mountain region. A gold rush had been gaining momentum through out the winter and now spring was almost here. It was our job each day to drive the horses about three miles to where there was open range of sage brush and plenty of wild grass for their feed. Irvin had a fine Pinto horse for a mount and I had a smaller bay fillie. She was well built unusually intellegent. I fell in love with this pony the first tine I saw her. She had a long black tail, mane and fore-lock with a broad fore-head. father naa said for me to go in the corral and take my choice. I took my lariat which I ha d been giving sore practice, and stepped inside the big gate with the horses. There were better than twenty horses, some were black, some brown, red, sorrel, buchskin and gray, It was"soon discovered that the horses would buck, kick, bite, strike and balk. So when I stepped inside the corral, there were but two horses that took my eye. One was a little black horse fleet of foot—well built with a white star in the forhead, ’out when the rope tightened on his neck and he found out that he was really caught, he would make a run at you as though to run you down. He would stop a few feet away and as you went up to him, he would lay way pack as though he micrht jump and strike before one could get away. He was not tne kind of a horse for a fifteen year old boy to start out with on an uncertain journey. Next I tried out the little bay mare that also caught my eye and when she text 1 tri , h d caine down till it almost touched the wnen she saw I was after her, h r Je n ^ ground and she stood uatchang^o ^ perLot^ still because be thrown, ,Vhen the P Af. she became acquainted with me, she would some one had whip browncat;h her n0"matter how the other horses ran and snorted, always stop and let me or in the open range or mountain side. even in the pasture I know where the mountain lakes lie in pools I know the road that ends in a trail Down at the bottom of cliffs rough and craggy.

In 1934 the Boise studio was remodeled the studio in 1934 and moved the studio to the basement. I operated the studio from 1930 to 1943. I met Don Sawyer in 1936 and got married in January 1942. It was during the war and in 1944 we decided that if we were going to have a family we had do it. The silver was almost out of the negative and caper material, A person could not get enough supplies to really run a studio, I divided my allottment between Ansgar Johnson and Mr, Sigler. They said it made it possible for them to stay in business, but agreed that they were turning out their poorest work ever because there was just not enough silver in the paper. Even at that time I had been going almost a year making sitting only twice a week. Every year I took a vacation from July 4th to the 1st- of September and also after Christmas I would go to Sun Valley and take ski lessons. I stayed with Roberta 3rass. Her folks had owned the Ranch that the Union Pacific R.R. pur chased to build Sun Valley. When W.7II came along Sun Valley was closed and Roberta who was in the Army went with her husband. I enjoyed every moment with Job's Daughters. I was elected Honored Queen of Bethel 3» and State Queen in 1932. Then I joined the Eastern Star when I was twenty. Then I was Guardian of my Bethel. It had just started over the United States to have Past Honored Queens as guardians. I really enjoyed. it. Then in 1942-5 I was Grand Guardian while Bon was doine hisfirsi stint in the navy.

I liked I remember being in the back yard. He covered me all over with net and I had to sit on a box and stay still, He did not have anything on and I can still see his hands go into the hive and*pull out a full honey comb. Then he would take a little wooden thing and scrape off the bees back into the hive. All the time he was talking to me. Granapa liked rny curls. I can remember him trying to tie a bow in them, and ran na coming m and saying, "He didn't know how." He was always so gentle, always so sweet and gentle. And of course, I was the only grandchild at that time. I also remember Grandpa Hedges. Once I was sick at their house and he would hold me and yodel to me. Every once in a while I will hear a yodel and I will know that it had a the same tone and feeling in it. He was quite famous for his yodeling. Those are my two favorite memories of my Grandfathers. Grover Burns Grover Bums was bom on his Grandfather’s (Isaac Ffost) birthday and in his home. He went to high school in Nampa. Grover and Adin Fox attended the University of Idaho for two years. They both played in the band. Adin played a Trombone and Grover played a Comet. After the second year Grover announced to his folks that he wasn’t going back to school. It almost caused an uprising. His Dad said he had to go back and his mother said he didn’t have to go back. He worked that summer to earn money to go to a photographic school. He borrowed some more money from Grandpa Bums, He always kept the check for '} 350.00 to prove that he paid it back. He went to school at Effingham, 111 at a photograving school. His best friend, Hoy Kellogg at the school was taking portraiture and he liked it so well that he switched over. Roy graduated a year before Daddy and went to Denver to set up a studio. The next year Grover joined him as a partner un^il he married iiooher. In another year he bought Roy out. When they found they had a baby coming, Ethel wanted to move back home. He had a chance to sell the studio and they moved west to Caldwell. He opened a studio on Kimball Street downtown. His home was on.17th He walked to work which was about 17 blocks. The ^ums memories of and Cleveland. Caldwell were real happy. q sq j wouldn,t get things. They used wSn we fe?t there. We moved to 2008 North 16th in Boise, I was a year ana a ha etudio We lived there until he bought the church and set up a “e ®°rgf“e ^ tore it down completely.

The note was paid oxf in three years. The average salary- at that time was about $ 125.00 a month, lie made pictures for ^ 10.00 a dozen for 5 x 7s. He always laughed about the fact that he didn't buy any furniture for the studio and house until he got the note paid. He bought his 11x14 studio camera at that time also. I remember my mother having a fit about one of the lens for the camera that he paid .$ 600.00 for it. Also aoout that time he bought a dress for her for about $ 45*00 and she said it was too expensive to wear. This was about 1922-5. When Daddy got sick in 1930 he decided to pursue a more outdoor type of life. He bought several acres past the edge of town on Overland Road. He put a fence around one acre right in the middle. He sent for all the flower and bush catal ogues and ordered one of every plant he was interested in such as trees, a Lucille grape and a Stanley prune, apple trees for his grandchildren (one had three dif ferent kinds of apples on it, all kinds of Iris, all kinds of berries, He called the place his refuge. He came back to the studio in 1931-2 for only part of a year and a little while in 1954 with Fern Lucille during the Christmas season. He really didn’t ever go back to the camera, but just enjoyed his "refuge”. At one time it was thought that Grover had T3. Mother's family had not really wanted Ethel to marry Grover, He was too sickly. It was thought that the mountains and the altitude was good for him. After spending time in the mountains, he would come back so much stronger every year, \Jhen he finally got sick, the doctors said there was no indication of such ailment. (He had had pneumonia at one time as a boy.) ^ think Grover went up to the nine some summers. The summer before he was married, he had been up there all summer (1910). The Hedges family went up there to see himc It took three days to get there. mor a hobby to compliment his mountain trips, Grover decided to take color Slide.VaifS the etlte wild * ”” I have taken *over^^ thousand andlSre are thousands more.

It was a very productive ledge. It was rich enough so that they could load the ore on the backs of mules and take it about 30 miles to ’//agon Town for shipment to a smelter. Even the tailings worked by Robt Pfost later was found to be of high grade ore. Ky rather apparently was never in really robust health. He used to go into the mine and work out was not strong enought/ to keep up with it. One summer about the time my had was married and had come back from Denver, he went up to the mine and his job was to provide meat for the camp. He shot bear, deer, birds and fished and also did some of the camp cooking. I have a picture of him with his large gauntlets, boots, 30-30 deer rifle and mustache looking very rou :h and ruddy. I suspect my father contracted rheu matic fever as a young boy because he never had a strong heart. Treasure story Some of the en working at the mine highjacked some of the ore when Burns and Daly went to town for a few days. When Mart and Daly came back from their trip, Mart noticed a new trail taking off and followed it to where the men were storing the ore in sacks that we e stamped B&D. During the time Robt Pfost was operating the mine, years and years later, Grover and I were up there camping, Gcver said to Robt. that there was a cache or ore still in the valley, They agreed to hunt for it, so we all got out and stomoed around the country with a little pick-axes or what ever we had. We went up and down the creek and didn’t find io. Af^er spending hours we concluded that someone had found the cache and taken it. That nicrht my father and I slept on our fola-a-way camping bed under the stars. I Think he got the bed when he got his first Ford The next mom- ing, my father was cooking breakfast wner he said, _ou know, I had a revel ation during the night.

As she (Kary Lou _ then reaa tne Robt ™ ^ and remarked as to the rather read, Stanley said, "I emem e id hj remember my dad getting the money different version of cache disco /over a discovered the ore."

It had not set very well with the martin Burns family. Later after Grover died, he used to visit Grover1 s wife Ethel and had trie to get her to marry him. Ethel simply was not interested in his exploits in the engineering and business world which he continually talked about. Mollie Bums '/erv early in the 1900s Mary Burns went to Long Beach, Calif, for her health and took ner daughters with her for company. They stayed at least one winter. I have some letters somewhere that Mart Burns wrote to my father when Mary was in Calif, and he talks about the money and business that he was interested in at the moment. I think that it is agreed by all that Mart was an exceptional good business man. I have been told many times that Mary Burns did not want her children to marry and leave home. She was very unhappy about my father marrying and she did not make a whole lot of bones about it. May motiier was always a little resentful about the fact that she wasn't as welcome in Mary's family as Grover was in the Hedges family. When ApaJ. was thinking about marrying, Mary approved of the wealthy Boise Doctor, Abe Friedline. Kart had his misgivings about it because he was so much older, but later, he fully approved of Abe. Grover also had doubts and made the mistake of trying to talk her out of it, saying, "He has been married. He's not a doctor, he is a lab assistant xor his brother". Grover loved his baby sister and Apal was a delight to all. It was common knowledge that Abe was a disciplinarian and a tyrant. Anal used to ack Grover for advise when Abe was bearing down. 1 One time we wereinvited to Thanksgiving dinner, when our children were „ a +nlrt us that Mr Friedline was bit used to children and often thi^fthat wePwere Jscd to bothered him and we should caution our children etc. things that we were Abe ?ave the blessing.

I don’t want you to kick it around, item ember, you didnot ,.ind. it laying around in the street somewhere". After Martin died the Burns M&M Co. carried on for about ten years, loose who owned stock in the mine were assessed to carry on the assessment work. Mary gave a quantity of shares to her children and traded some for a small house in Meridian, One year for some reason the officers did not get the assessment work done and when they visited the mine again they discovered the Hasbrooks had "Claim jumped" the mine. Hasbrook had other mining claims in the area and we re in a position to know if the Bum’s claim had been worked. Waldo Waldo grew up in Meridian, joined the Army and served in Europe in WWI. He was gassed and had other results of the war. He worked in the mines in Butte, Mont, for a time, ran his own service station in Meridian for many years. Tnen largely lived off his Army pension the rest of his life. At one time he worked as a substation operator for the Valley Traction Co. and after it folded, worked as a power Plant operator at^Lowsr Malad for .the Idaho Power oo. —DEH.

They left their children with us to play while they were gone. They all were throwing rocks from the grave 1 near the newly dug well. One of the rocks hit ray face close by my eye. It bled and made quite a gash that left a scar that still remains. Then my mother was sorry that she went away. My father sent away to Missouri for some fruit trees and all kinds of berries except Black berries. Then while the fruit trees and berries were grow ing, my father got a lot of bees. He built a shed for protection of the bee hives and also built a house to house a honey extracter to care for the honey. The bee house as it was called had an upstairs. The hired man stayed there but he ate with us. My brother and I were not afraid of the bees. We would catch them on the window right in the middle of their back and they couldn’t sting. Sometimes we would go bare footed. If we stepped on a bee and gob stung, we would hunt mud to put our feet in and that would take out the poison and pain. One time my sister, Alma, got a stick and poundeo a hive to fripaten them away. But they all come out and landed on her and stung wherever they could. My mother brought her in the house, She and another lady put whites of eggs on her to stop the pain and prevent swelling. There was no swelling. not much damage was done because she had on wool knit stockings and dress. Sheet 5. The farmers all. had chickens so they could have,, their. own, eg,. :s. They also had. cows for milk and cream and every one made tneir own butter. The horses were for work to help put in the crops. And tnen the only way to travel was to have horses to drive or ride. , , One sorin^ dav my father decided to go hunting, he -cook one shotgun and rode off on a horse.

Mo the i didn t get to go to town very often, but once she left us children to cook dinner for che hired men. She told me to salt the notatoes. I guess I put in too much as I heard one of the men say, "That is one thing you can't take out when you put in too much and that is salt". Sheet 6. In 1901 in Nampa my father sang the first commercial song. "I went to town to buy some shoes. On where, Oh where shall I go? I saw the sign of S. 1-1. Bums, Oh that’s the place to go!M. We three children use to go go wading in the little creek where it was quite wide and not so deep. My sister started floating down stream until she reached the fence and just set there on the water. I often wonder how she could do that? IvIy brother went and got her and brought her back. She was about two and a. half years old, I guess. One spring day my brother and I went down to the creek. There was more water in the creek than usual. It was rushing by. We crossed the foot log alright, but coming back I wasn’t sure of my self, so my brother took hold of both my hands. When I got panicky, he told me, "Look up, don’t look at the water". I managed to look up and we made it back, I often think what a dangerous trip it was with no one else around. Sheet 7. Once my father acquired a cart and horse. The horse had been trained to be a race horse. To try it out Father took my mother and me along to to\m with him. Everytime there was some one ahead of us the horse would pick up speed and go faster and faster until he got past. Then he would slow down to a slow walk. Then he would start up again to pass the next object ahead of us. Ke kept that up all the way to town. It was interesting% and truly a joy ride— better than being on the merry-go-round at the fair. , .

It was the first Oranges I had ever seen or tasted. ,e ‘"aCl' any 1:ind cereal like we have today. Once when ray mother didn o mnow what to cook, the hired man taught her how to heat a lot of milk and thicken it and let it come to a boil. We ate it like v/e would ea,t cream of wheat now, and it was good. riY iatnei never did talk to correct us but v/e were afraid of being punished. We had to be careful what v/e did or said. He didn’t believe in saying, "Don11 do this or that," It was understood that v/e should know what v/e should do; i naturally v/e had no privilege to say or do. Mother told me that when I was small I had a little chair that I had to go sio in every time my father would come to the house, But Papa was always the most kind person, I ever saw, but v/e were to be seen and not heard—like children in the old country. Ho’oher had to be always on guard as to what v/e might say or do. Naturally v/e didn’t learn to ta.lk and had no freedom like other children a.s she didn’t ever want us to be punished. She was also kind. Peace and quiet was the rule in or out of the house. My father couldn’t stand noise—neither could v/e, later. He didn’t think any one should say swear words, but to have a lot of respect for himself and others. Sheet 10. We all went to church Sunday morning. On our way there my father would sing all the way. He had a most beautiful voice. I’ve never heard anything to compare with his colorful tones, At church he sang and led the choir and taught them special songs for special services. He chose to always sing tenor. lie could also play the songs on the organ and later the piano. He could also sing by note. Ily sister just younger than I had a perfect ear for tones. She could play any song by ear. Later she composed music and songs. Pa,pa used to sing this song for us: She loved gin My v/ife and I live all alone I loved rum In a little log hut I tell you what V/e called our own V/e’ve lots of fun Ah, Ha! Ha!

One time I remember my Father end I were walking around looking hov/ things were end hearing the wild canaries in the trees sing. We were looking at one rows of strawberries end noticed several of the berries turning red and then found a ripe one. It was the third of April—on r.iy youngest sis ter1 s birthday. Once my mother got a canary cage then got a nest of snail canary birds. She put them in the cage and hung the cage outside so the old birds could ^leed them. They were getting along fine until one day a wind storm came up and blew the bottom out of the cage and everything was gone. My Mother was very disappointed. One time when my father was gone at night, a big Coyote came by the house, Mother got the sho t gun; put it out the window and shot it—to scare the coyote away. Sheet 13. ./hen my brother was old enough to go to school, he rode there with _then teacher. I went along twice to visit the school which was a one room school, //hen it was decided that I should .70 to school—a different school— I had. to learn to ride horse back. On my first try I didn’t hold on to anything and I slid off the bad: side down into some water as it had rained hard the day before. There was a blanket on the horse and it was held on with s sure ingle, which my brother held on to, so he wouldn’t fall off and I held on to him. Once a little girl and her mother came to visit school, The lit le girl sang a song. It goes like this: I’m a steamboat grand, just about to land. My mouth is a pipe, where the steam comes out. C B* AFF-CB^AP? - FAPIAFFGFF (an octave above middle C) When I started to school, there was one room and one teacher for all grades. The big firls were like giants. A friend and I v/ould play hopscotch at recess, and the big tall girls v/ould stand against the side of the school bouse. Sheet 14* In the spring my brother and I would walk to school. Wo v/ould cul across one field and come to a, place that wa.s always green and damp. le would find daises in bloom and sometimes a purple violet or a yellow buttercup in blossom. It was the best part of going to school. One time my brother had a hammer and was cracking rocks down by the creek and found a large opal stone inside that had the colors of a rainbow. Sheet 15* We always had a hired nan. One Christmas he .gave me a doll with a china head. My sister just younger than myself wanted to hold it and then dropped it, and broke its head. That v/as tragic. Another time he gave me a nice writting pen which I always kept. This hired man got married. My father built a four room house for them so he could still stay and work on the place. There used to be eels in the irrigation ditches. The hired man remarked once that when one of these eels got stuck to a headgate you could hardly chop it loose with a shovel. Sheet 16.

Morrison, who lived on an adjacent farm to Mart’s homestead. They were married on the Uth of July, 1890. They settled down in the town of Nampa where Frank operated a store of general merchandise. The Morrison had been in Idaho about, 3 years. They had to have crossed part of the distance in covered wagons. It is believed that the Morrisons originated in McDonald County, also. As lit ole ohes^came along the family began to grow. First came three boys Lloyd, Clarence and Thomas, then two girls Dorothy and Margarette, and finally a boy named after his grandfather Qnraons. In about 1897 Mart who had started a store in Meridian proposed a partner ship to reduce costs and freight charges for the two stores and the two stores were called Burns Bros. The Nampa store was located across from the Railroad Depot in a good location. However the economies did not materialize and John Fox who had married a sister, Laura, was encouraged to come into the partnership. John sold his coal and fencing yard in Boise and moved to Nampa and the store was known as Bums Bros & Fox. This time the store prospered and in 1903 a new brick two story building was built across from the Dewey Palce Hotel and the enterprise boasted of a grocery department at the rear and general dry goods at the front. The second story was furnished with offices for Doctors etc. In the fall of 1903 Franks wife, Fannie, died. This placed a great burden on Frank. He asked his sister Laura Fox to take them in. Laura had a large house and was able to accommodate the six children and father with her own family of two children, Her children Adin and Lela were old enough to be in High School and were of great help in caring for the children. As the winter passed in 1905 and after several years of no pause Frank decided to visit his eldest Aunt , Phoebe, at Paynes Creek, California. Frank was very musical and sang well. Phoebe’s daughter Jesse also enjoyed music and , since they enjoyed each other company they traveled to Red Bluff and got married. Frank wrote home and had his Nampa house remodeled and brought his new wife home to meet his family. Jesse was crippled and walked with crutches and her new family was a *reat undertaking. Frank hired a girl to help out and li.e Pressed. As the store needed more help, Frank encouraged his brother Emmons to move Emmons liked the new land and soon his wife’s to Idaho to clerk in the store. folks also moved to Idaho. ^ the on Frai and in W0 decide to sell the business which tQok on a partner, Mr Stoddard, and they Lumbering was Centerville in the Boise Basin and begin to saw logs. started up a sawmill in 7k 104 Fronk Bums p.2 Mien the winter snows clo'sprt going to Paynes Creek.

She was working on the line and I was the * Checker* for that line. Like all kids, I was making up to her and after the second or third day, I asked her for a date. Later on that day I found out the woman working along side of her was her mother. Then I was afraid to keep the date because I dicin'1} remember what all I did say to her. After I found out the woman was her mother, I tried to get another man to go down that aisle and do the checking. I was just scared to death", Elva said, "Her mother got a big kick out of it". Clarence gave Frank's (Grandpa Bums) 503 Savage deer rifle with Frank's initials carved on the stock and date 1903 to Ed. Ed said, "I really prize this gun, which is in good condition and very useable. Ed indicated there were no Vasilenkos outside of his family in the west as far as he knew. But one day a man came in to have his radiator repaired and said he was from Penn, and the the coal mining area. The man said, "There are a lot of Vasilenkos in Penn, and they were good people there1'. To whick Ed replied, "The Vasilenkos are good people out here too". The name Vasinlenko in Russian might be spelled Wasinlenkoff. Ed's Dad wrote each one of his children a letter telling them about his history. He came to the U. S. in about 1902. He spent the first three or four years with the Quakers in Penn. From there he went to Canada. They used to go from Saskatoon into North Dakota to visit a colony of Germans. On one of the trips he met a minister named Fost who influenced his father to become a minister also. He spent almost his entire life as a Russian pastor. ”he radiator shop was originally The Bum Radiator Shop. After Clarence .he radia p started to run the shop under his own name.

While to William Thompson and his son George goes the credit for having introduced the Tnompson Seedless grape into California, it was to John Onstott, Sr. that credit goes for introducing the Thompson Seedless graces and raisins to the United States. John Paxton Onstott, Sr., was bora in Muskingum County, Ohio, June 29, 1 hi , and was there reared in the usual environment of the Buckeye farmer boy, receiving a good education in the public schools, He crossed the plains to California in 1866 and followed mining in the Sierra's for a time until he decided that farming was his life's ambition and came to Sutter County. After investigating lands :n various places, he decided on the rich, sandy loam northwest of the small town of Yuba City. ilis decision was due to the large native Oak trees that grew in abund- dnee and with such gigantic and healthy growth, He knew where Oak trees grew to such proportions the soil must necessarilly be very rich, With his limited savings he purchased a squatter's right to 160 acres wbout one mile northwest of Yuba City. In time he paid the government price and obtained title to the property. He was married at East Butte, Sutter County on March 27, 1 -TO to Lizzie Flynn Brown. After their marriage they took up their heme on the Onstott farm about one mile northwest from Yuba City and systematically began improvements that eventu- ally made it the show place of the County, The land had to be cleared of the oaks to make it suitable for cultivation which was no easy task and witn his faith and ambition labored early and late to reach his goal.

It must have been very hard on her to take six little orphans into her home and take care of them. Adin and Lela were in High School at that time.

Then they moved to Corvallis, Oregon. lA-w ,areo and I shopped in Corvallis on our trip to Idaho in 19H0 and Aunt Mollie was leaving Corvallis to go and live with her daughter up in Northern Oregon. Uncle 3m had just passed away and she was all alone. She had made a living by taking care of college students. I don’t really know xvhat happened to my three brothers after we went to California.

I believe Alice lives in Chico but Phoebe married a big cattle man up in Sierra County, Will Anderson never married and I beard that he died. Ever since I can remember I wanted to be a school teacher, When I ’was a little girl, I was always gathering the neighborhood children together to play school. I was always the teacher and boy, was I a cranky one! I still remember standing there before the children with a stick in my hand! I never wanted to miss a day of school. I remember having to stay at home, while my mother was alive, in the afternoon to hold a branch off a tree—waving it back and forth keeping the flies off her—imagine that! The flies were bad—they were terrible! I'll never forget the school up there at Paynes Creek, It was just a little one room building with about ten children in the whole school, 1 was supposed to be in the fourth grade, but soon I was up with the 6th grade, There were only two of us in that grade—two girls, The other onewas about three times as big as I and she was so "stupid". The teacher sat up in front rt her desk all day long—she never moved. She was always chewing on something. One day when she went home for lunch, I looked in the top drawer of her desk and found that she was always chewing on dried figs. She always ha a us recite a poem or a "quotation" of seme kind every morning as soon as school took up.

They lived at Dad's place until the city of Marysville outlawed the business Dad war in. Minnie had several brothers living in California and Minnie had a large family o.t her own. Dad had bought an old building on Third street which in the old dcf.ys was a carriage stop of some sort. There were six rooms upstairs and he rented die down stairs part to anyone that wanted to store a car (or buggy, etc.) He also kept the popcorn wagon and all of his supplies down there. How he got the popcorn wagon to and from that location on the street, I'll never know. Then cousin Minnie's husband died. She moved to Sacramento and that's the last I've heard of her. Her Son, Ray H araion, lived in Yuba City a long tine. He was in the oil supply business. His wife died of cancer and he was left with two daughters to raise. I think that he also died of cancer. The daughters still live around here somewhere, but I don't know them. Can you tell me who cousin Mattie wasV She lived at Mountain Home. Her husband's name was Adin Hall. He had a cattle and sheep ranch. The second year we were at Aunt Lauras, Cousin Mattie brot her two daughters, Olive and Daisy to stay with Aunt Laura and go to High School. Cousin Mattie was there an a./iul lot. vVe liked her very much. Each summer we would get on tne train and go to htn home, fnd spend a whole week. I remember the good meals we had there, hhen iiargret and I took our trio to Idaho in 1950, we went up to Mtn. Home trying to find Mattie's old home.

Sne had built a new home about a quarter of a mile from her old one and I nad to live in the old house. There were two sleeping rooms, a kitchen and a living room. The old wall paper on the living room wall was all falling dovm—everything was in terrible shape. An old ccokstovo was in the corner of the kitchen, an old rusty sink with one faucet, no hot water and an outside toilet. It was really hard to give up my nice clean nome in Grass Valley with its six bedrooms and go live in that old dump. Taere was no electricity. We had a gasoline lantern for lights and a half a dozen coal oil lamps. I had a "gasoline iron:l and I had a gasoline motor put on my washing machine (Maytag).

J My grandmother, Mary Skinner, was my father's mother, Her name was formerly Mary Beaty Moran, My granddad was Dan Skinner. My mother taught at the Greenville School which later became my first grammar school. There were quite a few Indians living in that area at the time. Around 1940, the enrollment at the school had de creased to nearly nothing so we moved to Dobbins which was juat over the mountain from Oregon Hill, I completed grammar school at Dobbins and in 1946, started my first year of high school at Marysville Union High. We had to ride a school bus which took about an hour or more each one way trip. In 1947, we moved to Yuba City where we lived part of my sophomore year of high school. Then we moved to the Linda area outside of Marys ville where my sister used her V.A. loan to make a down payment on a two and a half acre site with a small house on it. My sister and my brother Bill were in the service during World War II. Frank took over the house at Gledhill Avenue, Frank completed high school in 19^8 and I graduated in 1950. We both worked for the State Division of Forestry during the summers. I worked for the Forestry during the summers of 1948 and 1949.

I tyjcd while he took car. of IZ First Sargent was so pleased with our work that he gave us a three day pass to visit New York City. Before catching a bus there, we had to first move our things into the shipping out barracks. When we came back, we were told to pack up and leave with the barracks shipping out so we did, despite the fact we had received no orders yet. We went to Brooklyn,N.Y. where we boarded a ship without anyone knowing our names. There were approximately 2000 Army troops and 600 Air Force troops on the ship. This happened in late January 1953. Ten days later, we landed at Bremerhaven, Germany and that’s when we got into trouble. The next ship coming in carried our orders and everything was okayed as we had a week on restriction. I was hoping to remain in Germany since I had been writing to a penpal who lived near Munich. However, I ended up going to Chaumont A.F.B. France while my friend Fat stayed near Munich. I was in a group which took a troop train to Chaumont and the trip lasted two days. There was snow - everywhere. On the 9th of February, we arrived at Chaumont and a bus met us at the train station to take us to the base which was seven miles away. While entering the base, a sargent in charge stood up and pointed out where everything was such as supply, motor pool, dining hall,etc. As we looked about our new surroundings, all we could see was lots of snow and humps Instead of buildings. During the first six months in France, I never went too far. The city was seven miles away and it seemed like the end of the world to me. Most of these troops at Chaumont were from the deep South of the United States and all they talked about was the Civil War.

SredtJ^gh Tr°y,S b6f0re ^ -vefs^nfuo^ much time in it. After this trip, however, I discovered that this city consisted of about three to five women to one man so I went to this city every time I was off from work. Troyes was quite large with a variety of places to go to so it became my town. One night, my car stopped running and required pushing to get it started again. Just as I needed some help, two girls were pushing their bikes up the street. I had seen Stanley with one of the girls before so I asked them where they were going and learned that they were on thier way home which was about four kilometers away. I told them if they would help me start my car, I would drive them home. They helped me push my car with a guy from the motor pool who saw us and ray car started. I put the two bikes on the back bumper and took the girls hone. One of these girls became my wife later on and the other one was her older sister, but I didn't see them again for awhile. In early spring of 1955» I had to junk ray car because the motor was shot and according to French law, it was- prohibited to exchange motors in a car. One guy iir our motor pool who was shipping out had a motorcycle in a box all ready to ship, He found out that he couldn't send it, so he sold it to me for $75.00. It was an English Matchless "500". My friend Stanley had recently acquired a "65O" English bike, so now we were both "out to kill". It turned out nevertheless, that year wasn't a very good year for motorcycles; at least not for us. One day I was on my way to Troyes on a three day pass carrying all my black market cigareetes Inside my jacket. I didn't smoke, but these would bringa ™ttv profit. I was taking a short cut which someone had told ™ > J!Jt *1 drive to Troyes.

Stanley told me the short WaSMf«f me; _H"1nai“ ”as °dette and the other girl was her older sister, MiMio I found out that Odette was the youngest in the family of five girls. After tne girls came into the cafe, Stanley introduced me to them and we went outside to walk somewhere. Just then, a friend pulled up the street in his convertible ford and had a girl with him. The four of us piled into his car and we drove out in the country along the Seine River which flows through Troyes. At first, Odette wouldn’t have much to do with me but we started going together since I didn't have a car. We ran around on two motorbikes which would only go as fast as thirty miles per hour and had a lot of fun. I was supposed to ship home on an early out in December 1955» but »y stay was exteded six months because no welders were due to ship in. Most of ray friends were now married. Stanley bought an old MG sports car. One night on the way back to the base, Stanley talked about getting married and I thoughtlt would be great to have a double wedding, It took most people two and a half months for all the necessary paperwork,but it took Stanley and I six months* for ours. The first time Stanley and I met the whole family was on the bi£ day of the marriage. In following French customs, we walked in a long line two by two, down the street, about four blocks to the city hall. We were married on 26th March 1956 at ST. Andre, France and then again the next day at Chaumont AFB to make sure everything was legal. The government was changing so much at that time.

After he moved back to Marysville he bought a Popcorn wagon. It was located on the coiner of 3rd and D Streets. He had a big sign BPON which meant the "Best Popcorn On Barth". He used real butter on the popcorn and people would come to Marysville to shop on Saturday and buy popcorn. He charged a nickle a sack. I grew up on popcorn.

Burke and the other grantees who leave this January will tour German cities Bonn, Hamburg and Munich, visit governmental and cultural institutions, and have discussions with German university colleagues. Burke’s reasons for wanting to par ticipate in the selective program were many, but he feels the assets he listed from the UHCC and Houston environments probably provided his most convincing arguments. These included UHCC’s strong German language program, the ability and desire of his office to attract more than the 30 German students already enrolled here, the interest of UHCC students to study in Dr. Jack Burke, UHCC’s director of Germany, and the location of a German a International Student Services, received consul general’s office in Houston. one of only 20 Fulbright-Hays grants Burke, who has been at UHCC awarded to Americans during 1978-79 for since 1968, considers this award to be a a four-week, closeup study of Germany. high p0jnt jn i5_year career of directing Scheduled to depart the States foreign student advising offices.

Edward Burke - April 6, 1981 E 1 The first nine years of my life were spent livi lng on a sheep ranch east of Cambridge, Idaho. In the summertime, from four to six years of age / I was noted for pushing a baby carriage frame, minus the carriage, as fast as I could run around the ranch and up and down the country roads. The following three years I rode saddle h orses every place I went as fast as the horse could run, bareback, as I didn't h ave a saddle small enough to fit me. Our transportation was confmed to saddle horses or buggies in the summer and sleighs in the winter. I attended the first and second grades of school in Cambridge, three miles from our ranch, instead of a one-room country school one mile down the road because it was mother's belief that I would obtain a better education in town. The country school started a few days earlier than the town school one fall and I wandered off with a neighbor boy on his way to school before I had breakfast and without advising my parents. I sat in the seat with my friend while the teacher conducted classes for all eight grades in the same room which fascinated me. Later that morning we heard a knock on the door and it was my father in search of his lost son. I rode home on the saddle horse behind him harness shop and that is all she wrote. I received the only major spanking directly to our ever seen for not from my father that I can reca II with the biggest leather strap I have Later in the day my father made a pair of stilts reporting my departure and destination, with something interesting to do and an incentive for me to walk on which provided me to stay home. deal for mother and me as we didn't Washday in the summertime was always an roW( manually.

When I was six years old, father was improving a 640-acre homestead several miles from our ranch and was unable to be home. On October 27, 1920, mother summoned me to her bedside. She gave me a note with instructions to deliver it to our neighbor, who lived approximately one-half mile down the road, emphasizing that I should hurry and not play along the way. Our neighbor immediately went to town for the doctor and that day my brother, Norman, was born in our home. The sheep were taken to the mountains for grazing in the summer, 20 miles north of our ranch, and on one occasion, my father took me along on a routine pack trip to deliver salt for the sheep and groceries to the herder. We arrived at the sheep camp after dark, planning to sleep with the herder, however, he had taken his bed and the sheep out on top of the mountains for the night. Since it would have been impossible to find him after dark, we prepared a bed with saddle blankets. The blankets were damp from perspiration, sticky with horse hairs, and had a foul odor. I can truthfully report the experience was not as pleasant or romantic as it appears in the movies. ranch for fall grazing three miles east of our ranch when I was My father leased a nine years old.

Once when she was staying with me, it rained all day, the tent leaked, and our bed got wet. After dark when the sheep bedded down for the night, I tucked her i •n a corner of the bed that was still dry, rode home and explained our predicament. When my parents questioned me as to why I had left my sister at the camp, I explained to them that I thought someone should be tending the sheep. Needless to say, that was not the proper rationalization and I was told in very firm language that I should not have left my sister alone but should have brought her home with me. My father then rode back to camp and brought her home with him. That winter my parents lambed sheep by the Snake River near Weiser and I was sent to live with my grandmother Burns in Meridian, Idaho, where I attended the third grade. The following year we established residence in Weiser, Idaho. My father purchased several more bands of sheep, constructed a lambing and shearing plant on the Malheur River near Vale, Oregon, purchased 3,000 acres of spring and fall range in the Mineral Creek and Monroe Creek mountains northwest of Weiser, and obtained summer grazing rights on the National Forest on top of the mountains above Hells Canyon of the Snake River on the Idaho side. From twelve to Seventeen years of age I was delegated the buck-herding job (or rams if you prefer) during the summer months as soon as school was out in June. Our buck herd of approximately 100 head would be shipped io Cambridge or Council where I I took delivery and mailed them fa our summer reserve In the mountains. This would involve o three-day trip, camping along the wayat night, until our corrals on top of the mountain. My only living accommodation for the summer was a sheep . l fu* bucks up in a corral at night, grain them in camp. It was my responsibility to loc , , mfnin Slopes in the morning and evening, allowing the morning, and herd them on the mou them to rest during the middle of the da y. Whenever possible, a few eager bucks would leave the herd in search of female companionship. In order to determine if any bucks were missing, it was necessary to count the herd several times a day. If any were gone, | would follow their tracks until they were located and drive them back to the herd, Coyotes would frequently come around the corral at night, howling, but they did n't give me any real trouble as they were afraid to attack the bucks. During my buck herding days a young boy, about mY a9e/ from a cattle ranch near Council, was staying a few days in a cow camp not far from my sheep camp. We had met a few times for visits in the mountains, and decided one day that on Saturday night we would ride our horses to a Saturday night dance being held in a one-room school house down in Wild Horse Canyon, a distance of about 10 miles. We only observed the activities, including a few fist fights outside the school house involving men who had consumed too much bootleg whiskey. The sun was coming up when we arrived back to our respective camps that next morning. I was just in time to grain the bucks and turn them out to graze. I assumed the responsibility of a camp tender one summer when I was in high school. However, my pack strfng which consisted of a bell mare and three pack mules had been lost for several weeks in the rugged Rock Creek and Wolf Creek hill country below Weiser school was out, I started early one in the Snake River Canyon country. As soon as of the sheep camps to locate the pack string. After morning on my saddle horse from one I finally located them. It took longer than two days of hard riding in this desolate area, and my horse from an old hermit anticipated and I had to seek a night's lodging for me living in the area. ahead from our spring and fall range to The other camptender had already gone a distancb of approximately 60 miles the mountains with two bands and their herders frail the three remaining bands and their herders across the hills. Now it was my job to 5 t0 the mountains, one band at a time. It took me two weeks to trail each herder with his herd the mountains and return for the next one, In August, I went after the herder and his buck band, which made four round trips for me that summer. One summer night during my high school d °ys, a sheepherder's saddle horse pulled his stake rope loose and strayed away from camp with a pack mule. They were gone for a couple of weeks out in the Rock Creek or Wolfe Creek hills and no effort had been made to ,0c* .hem until I the tusk. After u few hour, of riding, , Rented both oriiind, roan mg with o wild horse bond in Wolf Creek Canyon.

My saddle horse with saddle and bridle also raced away with them. I walked around the hills on foot for a while in the direction they had gone, and suddenly I came upon our two horses and mule grazing by themselves. The others had gone on around the mountain. I cautiously approached them, until all were in hand, returning to camp several miles horse had broken his bridle reins with his away, very much relieved. However, my with the wild horses. Incidentally, that silver-mounted bit front feet as he was racing with the replaced reins is still in my possession. 109 Recognition for the Nevilles Marthlyn College: Graduated from Stanford in 1944 ’With Distinction1 with an AB in Social Science* (With the help of scholarships she put herself through college without outside monetary assistance*; James, Sr* Jim has attained the distinguished rating of C.L.U. in insurance.

I started to play the violin when I was seven years old. I would practice six hours every day until my eyes blinked. It was a nervous reaction. I stayed out of school one year and pract iced and had a private tutor. Then she took me to Portland, Oregon. At that point I could have gone on the theater circuits over the U.S. I would play the Violin and whistle on the Portland Radio and I was only 11 years old. I really v/as very advanced for my age.

In March he was in Detroit for the American College and Personnel Association annual conference, Harry and Bernice and boys from Mexico City visited us in May. My mother came for a visit in May and on her return in June I went with her back to California. The annual conference of the National Association for Foreign Student Affairs (NAFSA) was in Iowa. Jack attended but this year I bypassed, however I will attend the next annual conference in May, 1979 in Phoenix. We had an interesting and challenging experience this summer with 88 Libyan students who came on a special joint project with the Electrical Engineering Depart ment for 8 weeks during July and August. I was hired by the Electrical Engineering Department to handle the community contacts with American families and students. Jack’s office was responsible for overseeing the program, housing, transportation, campus programs and all the other myriad of problems that involved the group. It was an extremely busy time for all of us but many enjoyable experiences over- shadowed the problems.
