Although she did not consider herself a nurse, she spent many days and nights caring for the sick. Many mornings as we  got up we found mother getting breakfast; we did not realize until later that she had been out all night caring for some sick person.

Quoting again:

"I made more friends through teaching the Senior Class in Young Ladies Mutual Improvement Association, singles and married, than I ever had in Georgetown.  They are still staunch friends; none of them have forgotten me".

Mother was desirous that we get as much education as possible and was always careful of the entertainment we had. When I, Rhoda, graduated from Grade School (eighth grade) graduation exercises were held in Paris, Idaho, for the entire county. I didn't attend.
