Excerpt from Oasis
At about the time my mother's health was te stored and my brother laid to rest, my father and brothers returned from the war, and my mother said that I, too, had been a good soldier and saved her life, and God would reward me. Aug. 19, 1867, Mr. Everett and I were married, left our home at Meta mora, Ill., and went west, where we took a homestead in Osceola County, Iowa. Which was then a trackless, treeless prairie; living at first in a sod house, fifty miles from a railroad station, slough hay and ?ax straw the main fuel for several vears. The grass hopper period, blizzards, and other trials and duties incident to pioneer life left little time, but when thoughts came to me, I would hastily pen them. A portion of them are now being published, at request, that my children and friends may know that I stood for temperance, patriotism, and Justice, with a firm belief and trust in God, who let the light of His love brighten so many dark hours. The title Oasis is appropriate in View of the refreshing rest that these poems have afforded amid the every-day cares. H. F. E.
