  A Brief History of Grace Stringham Colton--written by Grace An Excerpt: "I started back home and it began to storm, how it did snow. The horse put his head down and I could not get him off a walk. I was getting very cold, then I saw a large horse and rider coming toward me. It was father. he took me in to a neighbors and I got warm and then we started on again. Father lashed the horse I was riding, and I had a hard time clinging to the circingle. When we were a half a mile away from home we met mother walking in the snow. She was so anxious about me. That was the care my father and mother took of us all."

  		Biography of Caroline Ann Crouch Stringham by her third daughter, Grace S. Colton An Excerpt: "[Caroline] worked in a cartage factory for two years. She told how she got up very early in the morning, drank a cup of tea, ate a small slice of bread and scrape (scrape was butter put on bread and then scraped off again) and a piece of bacon, then hurried off to work."
  		Some of the Early Experiences of My Parents by Carrie Claire Stringham Hacking Excerpts from Personal History of Carrie. "Many times I have heard father tell of the time that Captain Day and Pardon (Pard) Dodds rode into our dooryard and said, 'Stringham, you'll have to move off. This is government land. Make arrangements to leave in 10 days. We will pay you for your corrals and buildings.' My father calmly let them have their say. He went into the house and took from the cupboard shelf his deed to the land and showed it to the man, who rode away with the decision that Stringham was not to be scared off his land for their own selfish purposes."
  		A Tribute to my Father-in-Law, Philip Stringham by Ella Wimmer Stringham An Excerpt: "Grandfather's family, with others, lived in Ashley Valley during the winter of 1879, known as the "Hard Winter." The weather was so severe, it killed the livestock. They had no horses to use. They had their new farmland, which had to have water before they could grow crops. Grandfather (Philip Stringham), Robert Bodily and one other took their shovels and dug a canal that furnished the first irrigating stream of water. Each day they ate lunch of slap jacks made out of musty corn or wheat and dipped it in the cold water."
  		Rembrances of my Childhood by Ethelwynne (Winnie) Stringham Collett An Excerpt: "I remember picking up sage brush after father had plowed and grabbed it. Father would then burn it at night. Then we three children, Claire, Grace and I would have a good time dancing and laughing in the firelight. Father was so patient with us, for we were lazy and got tired picking up the brush."
  		Some of the Things I Remember about My Father Philip Stringham by Grace Stringham Colton An Excerpt: "I remember a sled he made for the family to ride in. It was made of large branches of trees. Two seats. One facing the horse and the other facing the back. We girls, Claire, Win and I, rode on the back seat; and more than once we were dumped in the snow as the horse would start quickly or stop suddenly."
  		Appreciation of a Wonderful Father by Susan Stringham Shaffer An Excerpt: "I will never forget the way he used to sing to wake us up in the mornings. As he made the fire in the old cookstove, "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning," "Catch the Sunshine," and other Sunday School songs. The girls or mother would have the breakfast ready when all the chores were done. We would all be around the big table."
