My father is Melvin Reynolds Tripp and my mother is Stella May Anna West. I started school at the age of five years in the Stars Ferry School. The first and part of the second grade I went to school in Glensferry, Idaho. The remainder of my school days were spent in Burley, Idaho. I and my brothers and sisters used to go swimming in the Snake River when we lived in Glensferry. When I was about three or four I used to have to carry water a quarter of a mile. At night my father would go down to the canal with a barrel to get water for washing the dishes and clothes. Virginia, my sister, used to eat grasshoppers. They were so terribly thick in 1923 that they would just line the streams on the sweet clover. Everyone she could find that was dead and crisp, she would eat. She would eat the live ones when she could catch them. I can remember playing house with my best friend, Lillian Harwood, with the first big dolls we ever had. They had cloth bodies and eyes that would go to sleep. My mother had a big doll about three feet high that had joints in its fingers, wrists, arms, ankles, knees, waist, etc. -- everywhere humans do; but she wouldn’t let us play with it. She would get it down and let us see it every so often, but that was all. My sister, Grace, used to carry me home from school on her back because I would get so tired. We had one and three-fourths miles to walk. It would be dark when we left for school and dark when we returned home. On 13 Jan. 1934 I married Floyd Donald Olson; and the last part of May of that same year I graduated from high school. Contributor: Ben Theobald (48692641)
