I do not know how it came out because Frank was laid off and we move into a small town in a one large room next to a gambling hall. There was just a wall between us. Frank left us there for about a week, without very much to eat; I had a hard time washing dirty dipper to keep Toots clean.invironment
The landlord came over and said that he would keep the noise down so it would not wake Toots up and I set there with not much to eat for three or four days. The Gambler came over and asked me to move in with him and be his housekeeper and that he would take care of me. I would not do that, I said that I would stick it out for awhile longer.
Had not heard from Frank and did not know where he was. In about a week he came in with a ticket for me to go to Bozeman, Mont. He brought me a few things to eat and told me to get on the train to Bozeman and then he left again.
I pack everything I had in the trunk. I had no way of getting my trunk to the train station so I pulled the trunk out to the road and I set on it until a man in a wagon came by. I stop him and ask him if he would take my trunk and me to the train station, which he did. He loaded the trunk and on loaded it for me and made sure that the trunk and myself were on the train.
I think we were in Bozeman for about two month. Frank could not find work or something; he was gone all the time. Frank rent a little house and we stray there, and one night he came in with a billy club. I asked him what he was doing with a billy club, and he said that he join the police force. He took it upstairs and put it in a drawer, I never seen the billy club again. Two days later he came and put Toots and me on a train to Cowley, Wyo. Toots and I stayed with papa and mommy who were living on the Steven’s place. I was pregnant with Johnny at that time.

Mama came to stay with us, so she would be there to help when Johnny was born. Mommy was there about 10 days. The night that Johnny was born, (September 7, 1923) we had a big storm; the river came up over the bridge. It flooded all the homes that were by the river. Frank could not get home because of the flood. He was gone for three days. The doctor was there. He must have came before the river flooded.

After the flood, Frank moved us into a house that was outside of Graybull. There was a prostitute that lived across the street from us and Frank said that I was not to have anything to do with her. I did not have any thing to do with her until one night when Johnny was about 6 month old, he get very sick and I thought I was going to lose him, he could not breath. I went over and get that prostitute to see if she could help me with Johnny. She came over and gave Johnny some eppeakat. It made him throw up all that plume. She stayed there and worked with Johnny until he fell asleep, then she went home. She saved Johnny life.
Then we moved into a two-room house in Greybull. We stayed there for awhile. Right across the street is where the Duncan’s lived. Don and Maggie were living there with her parents.
