Another nice day.
It thawed a lot this P.M.
Donnie went to Ni Wot and got a hair cut.
Went to see Leo L. but he was not at home.
Dad and Don took grain to Ni wot and had ground.
The Jain and Arbuthnot family...
The Jain and Arbuthnot family...
Yesterday, I shared about Miles and Mary (Case) Jain and their family. Today, I will continue their story.
Another Jain daughter of Miles and Mary Jain was Clara Jain, born at Haystack Mt on October 2, 1879. She attended the Bader School No. 13. It was probably there and at the Grange meetings where she met a son of Samuel C. Arbuthnot, William.
Samuel and Fred's father were brothers. Fred had a cousin named Will and a brother named Will. Fred's brother was called "Long Will" because he was so tall, and their cousin was known as "Short Will" in order to keep it clear which Will you were referring to. "Short" Will married Clara Jain on and the two families were joined. Will and Clara Arbuthnot were a young couple who were leaders in breaking off from the Left Hand Grange No. 9 in Niwot (where they had grown up) to start a new grange, the Altona Grange No. 127.
"Short" Will Arbuthnot farmed there near Haystack Mountain his entire live, living on the land that his father had first acquired. They were long standing members in the Grange.
