Emma went into labor on January 11, 1888. This was their first child so Thomas set off to get the doctor with the wagon and horses. He was caught somewhere on the prairie during the blizzard. The storm was so bad he eventually had to set the horses loose and shelter under the wagon. He survived but did not make it back to the farm for 7 days by which time Emma had delivered my grandmother, Gertrude Isabel Greer. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who may know more about their story. They left Wolsey sometime in 1889 or early 1890 and moved to Washington.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07615487406601371772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876403528262108896.post-43269702573058876272009-09-06T16:48:12.135-05:002009-09-06T16:48:12.135-05:00Karen,love your blogg and the stories!I have read ...Karen,love your blogg and the stories!I have read about the blizzard before but you bring it to life well.Thank you for sharing with us!dustbunny8https://www.blogger.com/profile/16661219671052355475noreply@blogger.com
