In the meantime a school teacher was needed in the Bend and mom was offered the job.  I thought teaching would help get her mind off the past summer.  I was wrong.  Rest would have been much better. 

We moved into a house in the Bend close to James Sutton's and near Loren Shaw's.  We had plenty of wood to burn and even though the house was full of cracks and holes we kept warm most of the time. 

I was superintendent of election in Okobojo township that November and the day before election it started to snow.  I had the ballot boxes with me at the Bend. 

We decided to wait until after school was out on Monday and then drive to Okobojo.

As soon as we got out of the river bottom the wind was blowing and the snow was drifting.  The roads were getting blocked and we had a tough time getting about fifteen miles to Geoff Garretts place.
