GIFT OF LOVE - A STORM CELLAR
Our family members always knew that we had an unusually good cellar on
our family farm. It was a deep one, stoutly constructed, with wide
concrete steps, comfortable spaced. The walls and ceiling were said to be
as much as two feet thick, built of many rocks picked up from the hills
of the farm, plus a great deal of concrete.
Last Christmas time, my cousin replied to my letter concerning our
families' years on that farm, and she told of her mother's fear of
storms. Our stout old cellar had been built because of her father's love
for the girl he planned to marry.
Bernice SMITH GATEWOOD wrote, "Mom wouldn't marry Dad until he built the
big cool cave out back. She was afraid of storms. He built the house new
and sent her a beautiful engagement ring with garnets and chip diamonds
to Everett, Wa. She said yes, she'd marry him, but in Washington, so they
were married 1 Jan 1910"
From the "Craig News" 14 Jan 1910, Kirk SMITH, from this vicinity, was
married to Miss Clara E. HALE at Snohomish, Wa., 1 Jan.
From the "Craig News" 3 Mar 1910, Mr. and Mrs. Kirk SMITH moved Friday to
their new home which is completed. (And that stout, safe storm cellar was
there, but didn't rate newspaper space.)
