From
Film #1033790 LDS Individual histories-- I was excited to find that there was
a little push in the early years of the 20th century to get pioneers to write a
bit of their life history, and Rhoda had actually done one. Unfortunately, she
was not very talkative on the form. There is a list of information called for
(and yes, it really did ask for chest size) and then room to write about
important events. Unfortunately she didn’t seem to think that crossing the
plains or being a homesteader, etc, were important enough to write about.
