******************
I was born 26 June
1916 in Burley, Idaho. My father is
Melvin Reynolds Tripp
and my mother is Stella
May Anna West.
I started school at
the age of five years in
the Stars Ferry School.
The first and part of the
second grade I went to
school in Glensferry,
Idaho. The remainder
of my school days were
spent in Burley, Idaho.
I and my brothers
and sisters used to go
swimming in the Snake
River when we lived
in Glensferry. When
I was about three or
four I used to have to
carry water a quarter
of a mile. At night my
father would go down to the canal with a barrel
to get water for washing the dishes and clothes.
Virginia, my sister, used to eat grasshoppers. They
were so terribly thick in 1923 that they would just
line the streams on the sweet clover. Everyone she
could find that was dead and crisp, she would eat.
She would eat the live ones when she could catch
them. I can remember
playing house with
my best friend, Lillian
Harwood, with the
first big dolls we ever
had. They had cloth
bodies and eyes that
would go to sleep. My
mother had a big doll
about three feet high
that had joints in its
fingers, wrists, arms,
ankles, knees, waist,
etc. -- everywhere
humans do; but she
wouldn’t let us play
with it. She would get
it down and let us see
it every so often, but
that was all. My sister,
Grace, used to carry
me home from school
on her back because I
would get so tired. We
had one and three-fourths miles to walk. It would
be dark when we left for school and dark when we
returned home.
On 13 Jan. 1934 I married Floyd Donald Olson; and the last part of May of that same year I
graduated from high school.
