They both had a lot of adjustments to make, because of Richard's physical handicap and his speech and hearing impediments. Thanks to the Sheltered Workshop, Richard has learned so much and knows lots of people.

FRANK AND ALMIRA HAISLETT Mother came to Yuma in 1910 to visit a nephew, Ed McChesney. The big blue sky, beautiful clouds, sunrises and sunsets, cool nights and the dry climate sold her on Yuma. She thought it was the next thing to heaven. She liked and put a down payment on the quarter-section of land east of town, on the north side of the railroad tracks. The east part of the farm is now Yuma's beautiful gold course and the home place remains on Highway 59.
She returned to Illinois, they sold their farm and moved to Yuma in 1912. Mother came by train with 5 children-Eldred, 8; Lawrence, 6; James, 5; Blanche, 3; Howard , 18 months. I'll bet it was quite a trip! the boys were all sick with colds, and i had a terrible cut lip and a tooth knocked out from falling down the stairs with a glass lamp. I still don't like the smell of kerosene. Dad came with our things in a boxcar. He got here April 1, and what he sawy, he thought was an April Fool's joke. He had never before seen so far and seen so little. When he saw the farm he was in shock. No buildings or fences, just cowchips, cactus, cockleburs, a lagoon, and the biggest manure pile! There were lots of live things around too,-snakes, skunks, badgers and bedbugs.
Our first year had been lots of ups and downs and plenty of hard work. While they were building the farm, we lived in a little house, which is now 500 South Albany-7 people in 3 little rooms. James went exploring at the water pump house back of the standpipe, and was looking in the exhaust pipe, just as it started. He was asphyxiated and was very sick when found. Dad was hauling lumber to the farm, when again James was in the wrong place. The back wagon wheel caught his foot, ran up his right leg, up his body acorss his heart and cut off his left ear.. All that saved him was the muddy street. He had his "wheel print" for a long time. We just got moved to the farm when Howard, 2, almost drowned in the stock tank. Also, someone spilled red barn paint on his white hair, and he wore that for a long time. Once Howard and I found a skunk in a trap. We thought it was a kitty and brought it.....(do i have the rest of this? only time will tell. deb.)
