Albert was with us when we moved to Brookings. He slept on a bull calf. It was uneventful otherwise.It wasn't long before we settled there in our new 320 acre home in South Dakota.
Brookings was a lively little town. it was a growing town with a college. Not as big as Omaha. I don't think it ever will be. Dad got a real nice place there.
One of my pals, Orville Duff, lived clear on the other side of the township*. His family were as far northeast as we were southwest. We had plenty of neighbors who were closer. Orville was a bit older than me. we went to the same school He maude, and I were in the 8th grade together. He had too brothers, John and Harold. Of course, I named Harold after Harold Duff. Harold thought a lot of Lillie. I don't know if they ever went out or not. She got to going out with Clifford Pease.
Mother had bad pluracy pains on the trip, but she got over them in a coiple of days. They came back once in a while. It was nerves that caused a lot of it. Some women would have gone half mad living with their mother-in-law. But, you know, whenever grandma stayed with one of her daughters, they'd be mad when she'd tell them, "That's not the way Annie does it."
