• Notes

  In 1892. ".. that was the year of the big winter, when my father, Mr. W. F. Puffer, made a trip from Olds to Calgary to get supplies. It was 60 miles away and the terrible snow kept him away for three weeks." When her mother had to milk the cows a wolf was prowling around their cabin. The wolf forced her mother into the hen house and stayed there for several hours. Knowing her small children would be cold and hungry, she made a dash for the cabin, and as she reached the cabin door the wolf was "at her heels". She threw the pail of milk into the wolf's eyes to blind it and managed to open the door and escape.
