Notes
a. Note:   How My Parents Met by Garfield Quimby In the spring of 1893 my father was in the Salvation Army. He and his companion came to Garden Springs to preach. My mother bought all his "War Cries", the Salvation Army Paper. When reproved by her mother for doing it, she said "Mother, that is the man I am going to marry."
  Grandpa Abbott had invited my father and his friend to come home to dinner. On the way to the ranch my father asked his friend, "Did you notice the young woman who bought all my 'War Cries'? Well, that is the one I am going to marry."
  Grandpa did not approve of my mother joining the Salvation Army in the Spring of 1894. She went through a training course in Spokane and on completing it was sent to Misoula, Montana.
  While helping conduct street meetings of the Salvation Army during all sorts of weather, my mother became ill with a severe sinus infection. She was unable to throw this off and finaly had to return to her home in Garden Springs the Summer of 1895. Her health improved, and she and my father were married on August 15 of that year.
  Still suffering from the sinus infection, my mother was operated on and the sinus drained, just ten days after I was born on May 16, 1896. At the time of the operation it was the first one of its kind performed in Spokane, Washington. The surgeon cut through the bone in her forehead in order to remove all the infection. He did not put a plate in to replace the bone that he had removed. As a result, the wound healed, leaving a diamond shaped scar in her forehead which remained there the rest of her life.
  While the operation was a success in that it stopped the sinus infection, my mother continued to suffer severe headaches all the rest of her life.
