"In the spring our baby was taken very ill. I wanted a
doctor so badly. There was a terrific storm and when it cleared

to Larimore. On the fourth day my baby died unattended. I never
forgave the prairies for that."

could easily be twenty to thirty miles from each other. Women
especially suffered from social isolation."
