Alexander and Winnifred Beckstead and their home in the Niter area near the ice cave south of Grace, Idaho. The home was an add on to as necessary house with ivy or Virginia creeper growing all over it. He was a sheepherder-farmer, and had chickens and whatever else it took to get by, like lots of geese, a scary old turkey, ducks, cows and horses. It had a fine root cellar and good well with a hand pump just outside. The old wood burning stove had bricks beside it and you wrapped a towel around a warm brick to sleep with. Before they had electricity they had a windmill on top of the house that charged a battery and ran a few things like a radio for a few hours to listen to the news.
