Emmaline figured that the winters were bad and the spring
as well as the summer made it worthwhile. The crisp clean air with warm sunlit days and cool nights made living in Idaho nice. The children grew to be strong and brawn in the healthy sun and air. When it came time for chores to be done, their was even some for the youngest children to do.
Many times they gave food to the Indians as they came through. The whole community showed up to build a school. a large bell tower sounded each morning at 8:30 to warn the children to come to school. At 9:00 to start school, and at 1:00 to return from lunch.
Their family attended church meetings, they were members of the Willow Creek Ward, Bingham Stake. Lettie Andrus was called as the first Primary President, and Emmaline was her counselor. Each week she would ride the lumber wagon to the church to accomplish her duties. Emmaline loved to work with children.
13 June 1906, Emmaline passed away.
