  Histories » Slide Show		A Tribute Philip Stringham and Caroline Ann Crouch Stories, Poems, and Tributes from their Children
  		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."
  		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."
  		"Don't Be Frightened" A story that William, the son of Philip, tells about his father being licked on his face while sleeping out under the stars.
