--------------------
Nana went to several High Schools ... beginning in Oakland, Maryland - then she went to Fairmont High School in Fairmont, WV - Elkins HIgh School, Elkins, West Virginia - then to Manchester, Iowa - Graduating from H.S. in Grand Tower, Illinois
Overall Schools: Wick, Iowa - Ainsworth, Nebraska [north of North Platte 100+ miles] -
--------------------
Nana said that she came out west to Idaho in 1924 from Lincoln, Nebraska via Spokane. She said her friends made a reservation for her at the YWCA in Spokane so that she could be safe when she arrived. She then took a train from Spokane to Orofino [relatives said not to get off in Greer because there would be no place to stay there. Nana said she changed trains in Arrow Junctuion and went from there to Orofino. She said several “indians” got on there. She said she was a little fearful of them - and a little fearful of everyone she met crossing the country.
From Orofino she got on a “stage” [actually a car called a stage] where a driver named Carl Peays. She was real leary of Karl at first but then set her mind to ease when he mentioned that he would take her by her Uncle Zan’s home on the way up to Weippe.
... came west to Idaho around 1924 [in Adonijah Jordan’s Home] ... [Uncle Zan Jordan picked her up at the railroad station in Orofino .. probably stayed with Zan for a bit ... but Orofino was a wild town in those days and she wanted to get away and soon moved to Adonijah’s home]
