Freda's "Little Shack on the Mountain" Life as it was!




This is Freda's memory from about the age of 4 years of age.  As she related this story to me, she was nearing the end of her time on earth. But her memories of those days was crisp and clear!  God had truly blessed her all those years.  While we may have to endure certain hardships, if we keep our eyes on the Lord, He will sustain us!
I hope you enjoy reading about Freda's life. Thanks!

Freda's "Little Shack on the Mountain at bedtime"


By the time Freda was living in my house, she knew that she was covered by the light of the Lord, but I always left a nightlight on for her any way!  Now, I pray she is resting in peace.

Freda's "Little Shack in the Mountains"


Even though Freda was a cousin to Almanzo Wilder, (who became the husband of Laura Ingalls) they were at least a generation apart. Things had not changed that much, and her experiences in life had not been much different.  The biggest difference between Freda's and Almanzo's, was that his family lived in a fertile area, where food was more easily grown.  As his family moved west, to Minnesota, the family members separated, with Freda's branch going south into Texas. So Freda didn't know anything about Almanzo, until she moved to Mansfield, Missouri and read Laura's books!  
I hope you enjoy reading about Freda's life story, as she related her memories to me before her passing this year.
