  et, "In The Garden" Howard A. Caldwell offered the Benediction. Pallbearers were Percy Stewart, Shirley , Leaon and Howard Ainge, Monroe Hatch and Martin Evans. Floral arrangements were under the direction of Rebecca Stewart and Vera Ainge. The grav k after their interests there. They lived at Coco, Florida the first summer, now known as Cape Kennedy. That fall they moved to Apopka, Florida where she attended school. While living there she had her first automobile ride in a Model T, saw her first silent movie and attended her first church meeting. In the summer of 1914 they received word that her father was seriouslyu ill, so they sold their home and returned to Meeker. Her father died in November of that year and her mother died the following February. After her mother's death an uncle Grant Fletcher, took care of her until she went to Jensen to live with her sister Mrs Bert (Leafy) Wilkins. It was there she met her husband, Nile Ainge. They were married April 6, 1916 in Vernal, Utah. The first year of their married life they lived on a ranch and owned a herd of cattle. They lived several years on Blue Mountain. They took their wheat to the flour mill in Vernal where they received in return flour, germade and feed for their pigs. They churned their own butter, baked all their bread and made their own laundry soap. The washing was done in a tub with a washboard. There was no electricity so to do ironing, irons were heated on a wood stove. They moved to Linwood near Manilla in the spring of 1927 where they lived for five years. During World War II Nile, Ella with their youngest daughter Joye moved to Riverside, California where they both were employed at Lockheed Defense Plant. In the spring of 1945 they returned to Jensen where they have since resided. Nile Ainge was Utah State Brand Inspector for 18 1/2 years, and for 10 of these years Ella was employed at the lunchroom of the Vernal Sale Barn. Their children honored them with a reception in 196 6 celebrating their 50th wedding aniversary. I was born May 18th, 1899 at my maternial grandparents, Zachariah Thorpe and Louisa Frances Owens Banta's home in Rangley, Rio Blanco, Colorado. The third child of James Oscar (Nicknamed Horn) and Virda Louisa Banta Fletcher. My brother Jim was the oldest born February 15, 1895. I remember mother telling us how little Jim was when he was born that they could put him in a quart container. Leafy the 2nd child was born June l0, 1897. I have a vague recollection of my grandmother Banta's death, I was 2 1/2 years old,but I remember she was tiny with beautiful black hair and eyes. She was part Spanish. We all went to Meeker where she was in the hospital. Papa and we children would sit on the lawn by the hospital and hunt for 4 leaf clovers. She was in the hospital for several weeks before her death. When I was 3 my father homesteaded a ranch on White River about 20 miles up the river from Rangley. He was building a long 3 bedroom log house, it was fall ane he was heating water in a tub outdoors. Jim, Leafy, and I were playing ring around the rosey around the tub when my dress caught fire and I started to run for the river which was close by as fast as I could go. Papa caught me just before I got to the high bank and put the fire out. The water was being heated to make dabbing (a water and mudd mixture) to till the cracks between the logs. The house had a dirt roof. My mother used all the newspapers and magizianes whe could find and pasted them on the inside walls and ceiling for extra warmth. When I was 5 years old a school house was built ( a small log cabin) at the mouth of Boise Creek, Now know as Idaho Creek about 10 miles from where we lived. Jim, Leafy and I attended this school, we went horseback and in a buggy, and drove a horse that was blind in one l eye, we called him Frank. When it got real cold we went in a sleigh, our folks heated rocks and put them to our feet to help us keep warm. Miss Mable We aver our lst teacher would take off my shoes and stockings when we got to school and rub my feet with snow they would be so cold. There was only 5 attending school, Miss Weaver taught all gdrades. My mother owned a spirited horse she called Midget, she rode her with a saddle. Mom was an extra good rider. She also painted pictures and could have been an artist, if she had, had the training. Dad played the violin and helped play for all the dances from Rangley to what we called White River City, 30 miles away. He would bundle us up in the wagon or buggy when the weather was good and in the sleigh in the winter with the hot rocks to keep us warm. I can still hear the small bells attached to the horses bridles, jingling as the horses traveled thru the snow. I can't remember when I first learned to dance, I was so small. There were so many cowboys and bachelors they would dance with anyone who would dance with them. I never missed a set until I got to sleepy to dance. We all took lunch and at midnight would rest an hour and eat and visit, then dance until morning. I remember the cowboys lifting me up and swinging me around in the Quadrilles and other old time dances . Dad bought us the first Edison Phonographs they brought to White River. It had a cyulinder (round) records and a big horn, we thought we owned the world when he brought it home. I would go with my dad to Meeker for supplies. He went twice a year, and got enough to last for 6 months. It took two days going and 2 days coming home. There was a station part way, where the stagecoach changed horses and we would stay there overnight. In Meeker we stayed with mother's sister and husband (Fannie and Fred Riley). They had an upstairs and I would go up and down the stairs all the time I was there, it was such fun and a novelity to me. If we needed groceries between trips we would go to Rangley where Fred Nicholes had a small log store on the bank of White River. There were no sheep on White River or in Colorado at this time so the grass was knee deep almost everywhere. People did not eat mutton because they hated sheep so. The deer ware so plentiful I can remember papa standing in the door when we needed meat and killing a nice buck that would be coming to the river to drink. When I was 7 years old lPapa took a contract to build a dam above Meeker. It was summer so moma, Jim, Leafy and I went with him and camped. It was beautiful and a wonderful summer we had had. The hillsides were covered with wild raspberries, we gathered them for eating and Moma made gallons of Jams and Jellies, she also made Buffalo berrie Jam which grew near where we lived. Moma aslso made a berry dumpling with them. While we were in Meeker, June 13, 1906, Irene my youngest sister was born. Late that fall we returned home.
