HELEN AND PRINCE AND JACI

ree

Cold — Very high wind.


Washed — Did some iron-

ing to-night.


Henry went to G.R.


Helen + Red came to-night.

Helen came for most of her

clothes. Are living with his

folks.


Our old sorrel horse

"Prince" died in stall

to-day.

Not only did Helen go and get married in quick fashion but she and Red came to collect her things so they can live with "his folks." And to top it all off, "Prince" up and died, Henry wasn't home, and Edna had to do the washing and ironing.


Edna doesn't say so but in my estimation this was not the best of days.

You can sense her love of Helen and for her old horse Prince.


My cousin Jaci (Jaci is Hank's daughter and Edna's granddaughter) took my brother and I for a ride on horse around the Johnson farm in 1971.


I have the picture to prove it!


I have wanted pants like Jaci was wearing ever since that day.


Jaci lives in California now but she still loves horses.


I am sure my great grandmother would love knowing that in 1971 Jaci took Marc and I for ride around the farm where Edna's old horse "Prince" had wandered thirty years prior.
