her
bills

Abstract
<p>This
collection
is
a
combination
of
various
letters
,
genealogical
materials
and
biographies
of the
Baker
family
. The
section
containing
information
about
Anna
consists
of
photographs
,
poems
,
Walter's
character
sketch
, and
Anna's
biography
. This
brief
history
is
two
typewritten
pages
and
it
is
written
by
Anna's
daughter
,
Margaret
Baker
McKinnon
.
It
contains
many
direct
quotes
by
Anna
concerning
her
childhood
memories
.
Anna
writes
about
her
first
memory
of
dragging
her
baby
sister
around
the
lot
in a
dripper
when
she was
two
years
old
. She also
remembers
being
afraid
of
Indians
because
of the
Battle
Creek
Wars
that were
fought
near
her
home
in
Idaho
.
Sometimes
,
Anna
remembers
the
Indians
looking
into the
windows
of her
small
home
to
ask
for
fresh
biscuits
. The
biographer
writes
a
lot
about
the
fulfillment
of
Anna's
Patriarchal
Blessing
, in
which
she was
promised
that she would
always
have a
strong
mind
and a
thirst
for
knowledge
. This
strong
mind
helped
her
through
the
difficulties
of
losing
her
husband
,
building
a
home
, and
raising
her
five
children
:
Margaret
,
George
,
Hayward
,
Arthelia
, and
Nan
. Her
thirst
for
knowledge
inspired
her to
become
a
schoolteacher
, and to
learn
enough
carpentry
to be
able
to
build
on to her
home
in
Logan
. Her
biographer
ends
the
account
by
emphasizing
that
old
age
was
hard
on
Anna
because
of
loneliness
and
inactivity
and that
death
really
was
liberation
for
her.<p>Eduation<p>Trials
