My mother's sister, Adeline Ross, née 1876, moved sometime before 1910
to St. Michael's Espicopalian Mission with the Arapahoe Indians
in Ethete, Wyoming. She was a missionary. In 1935, when I was 11
years old, my sister, Charlotte,
and I rode the train from Boston to Casper, Wyoming and then the
"Galloping Goose" from Casper to Lander from where we were driven to Ethete.
We stayed in my aunt's home for about three months. My mother and father
drove from Boston to Ethete late that summer with a stop at
the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota which my father, a surgeon, wanted to visit.
The blurred picture is of a plaque dedicated to Rossie. It is mounted on the wall of the church.
