"...Mother had not seen her brother,
"Webster Nash" since 1857, when he came West and located near
Forestville, so that winter Father got a team and we all -- Father,
Mother, Cynthia, James, Charles and myself -- went to see them. There
wasn't any roads at that time. We came to a claim shanty some 6 miles
south of town so stopped there to get warm, it was half-log roof shanty,
no more than 12 x 14, with cook stove, bed, table and 3-legged stools.
After leaving there we drove quite a while until we came to another
shanty, so stopped to get warm again. After driving quite a while we
came to another shanty so James said he was going to get out and find
out where we were, and Father said, "Why, that's the same shanty we
stopped at before," and sure enough we had made a circle on the smooth
prairie. About a mile further we struck the road to Forestville, and
then made good time to Uncle's at which place we all
had a good time. Meal-times the older ones sat down at the table and we
children all stood up -- Bed time the boys went out and brought in some
clean straw which we spread on the floor upstairs, and with blankets and
quilts we all 'bunked' down together. It was fun to hear Aunt Melissa
jaw old Uncle Webb. Her tongue was sure hung in the middle and loose at
both ends." - [Cassius M. Sackett; 1931]
