Great Grandma Lillian (Dawkins) Carleton

…she was a soft-spoken and sweet tempered woman who was plagued by poor health.

She knew how to knit, and made a rose colored cardigan for grandma. :)

In the summer and fall, Clayton would be away quite a bit hauling grain to Malta, Montana; and it was up to Lillian to man the fort.

They lived without conveniences like running water and electricity. A pump in the kitchen would have been a luxury. :)
