The late Uncle Will and Auntie Belle came next to my dad and mother in doing the things that amounted to so much. They lived in the Graham district. and took us out to camp at Rock Lake to the camp meetings at Doug Caver’s. Tents were the go those days. with straw ticks filled with straw from a hay rack. pulled by a team of horses. There were no deep freezers, but the little stream of water that flowed through the camp kept the cream. milk and butter cool. Coal oil lamps and wood cook stoves out in the open were welcome those days. Now the camp meetings are held at Manhattan Pentecostal Camp at Ninette. Mr. Wm. Alder’s big dinner bell he used to have on a high pole between their house and barn to call the men to meals was given to Manhattan Camp. When I hear that bell ring. [think of Auntie Belle taking a big pan ofhot biscuits from the oven. then ringing the bell for dinner. The tolling of a bell means “Come" Luke 14 — 17. Mrs Frank Baudic was Alda’s first teacher.
