The David Trout Place
In 1888 David Trout and his wife with their two-week-old infant, now Mrs. Hazel Steelsmith, came west by train from Indiana to Idaho. He bought the land that a Mr. Snyder had homesteaded.
The first house they built was in the middle of the 40 acres that was clear of timber and this is located to the left of the house today. They later built the house and windmill that stands today. (1970)
The children and parents spent much time in the mountain area near Palouse making shakes. While Mrs. Trout was helping her husband make the shakes, a log rolled onto her leg breaking it very badly. Mr. Trout set her leg as well as he knew how. She never received any medical assistance from a doctor. She suffered very much but finally did recover. Those were the trying years.
