Walker, Aberdeen, 8J>.: My family came in a wagon to that part of South Dakota where I grew up. They turned the sod over with a walking plow. About 1908, the railroad came and people swarmed in; then steam engines which pulled 12- 14-inch plows; In two years, eve­ rything was turned black. Cattle­ men were out. People were fighting to get land, until 1911 when hot winds burned up the crops. The people who had come with the railroad left as one. I still have one 5-cent trade piece, which says it is "good in trade at Carlyle, South Dako­ ta." The town left with the peo­ ple. I also have a McKinley cam­ paign pin, when he was running for president. I like to think of my early days and the things that happen. Things do happen when one is young; when we get old we can­ not get around and make things happen as they once did.
