BIOGRAPHY: This is a letter written by Wanda Bahr Braithwaite (wife of Alton Braithwaite) during the three weeks we were snowed in at Osgood, Idaho in February 1949. When we found we were homebound I put this in the typewriter and wrote every day so I could mail it to my folks and Alton folks, etc. Grandpa Braithwaite saved his letter and gave it to me about 10 years ago. No mail could be sent out for this entire 3 weeks.
Saturday, Feb. 5, 1949
Well, it is still blowing. The children are all bathed and to bed and I’m going to write a few lines. Donna and I have been busy all day cleaning house. I have had the bed out in the dining room while Alton was so sick and so today we moved it back and cleaned and waxed all the floors, etc.
Yesterday - or rather last night - was to have been the Primary Bazaar and chicken dinner to raise funds t help build our new church house, but the blizzard came up so badly that they sent the children home at noon and postponed the doings until Monday night - if the roads are plowed out. I had to furnish 2 cream pies and one sewed article so I made two pineapple cream pies and a cute little print dress that fits Sally. It is a full circular skirt and Sally has been coaxing for Daddy to buy it back for her. Anyway, we ate the pies, so I have that job to do over again.
Sunday, February 6, 1959
Well, the North and South roads were not blown full so the family all went to Sunday School and after they came home and had dinner Alton, Sally, Linda and I all went over to Ellis and Thelma’s place. Alton took a bath as he couldn’t divide himself in the drain tubs, and we couldn’t use the other tub as we had taken it over to water cows, and somehow it has a big hole in it. We came home about 4 o’clock and Alton has to sing in Church tonight. Donna is accompanying him and a neighbor girl in singing “Teach me to Pray.” It is blowing like fury, but guess we will go to Church as they have tried to present this program several times and something has happened.
Well, we went to church but only part of those on the program came, and no one else. I don’t blame them as, most likely, they couldn’t have gotten home because our neighbor came in a truck and we could hardly see their tracks in front of us. All of the side roads have filled in again just since morning, so it looks like we are stuck here for a while.
Monday Night, February 7, 1949
Again, I have the little children tucked in bed; and they are so happy. Today Donna took over the work and I spent the day making doll clothes for the little girls. I made a skirt and blouse for Linda’s and LaVern’s doll, and rompers, etc, for Sally’s. Then, I took some old felt hats and made them each a darling pair of shoes…They have got such a thrill out of it. Little Sherrie Ann has been so good. Boy! It is surely blizzarding. Really, I have never seen anything like it. Just blows constantly. A person can hardly stand up in it. Alton just goes out and does the chores, and then he has a good book he is making use of. No mail today and they say the way it is blowing, we probably won’t have any tomorrow. The roads are so full and it is drifting so bad they are not attempting to plow any of them out until it looks as though it will do some good. Ellis called today and said they are all o.k.
Tuesday Night, February 8, 1949
I’ve decided I’ll just write a little of this each day until we have some prospects of getting some mail sent out. Today I cut out and made a nice apron, besides baking bread and cooking meals. We have just been lying in bed until Sherri and Kent get up, as there is no school and Alton can’t work outside, as it is so terribly miserable. Donna has made about 6 pairs of little doll shoes to donate to the Primary Bazaar---when they are able to have it. This is to fill a beehive cell. I also cut out 2 more aprons that I intend to sew tomorrow. Alton doesn’t make enough noise to be mentioned. He gets his nose in a book as soon as the chores are done and we have to pry him away from it with tempting him with something to eat. He does chores again and then back to his book. I am just fixing two meals a day while we are getting up so late.
Wednesday Night, February 9, 1949
I have accomplished practically nothing today besides fix meals, chase Kent and tend Sherri. She seems to have the sniffles and a little cross. She chews her fist all the time and drools like she is cutting teeth. Yesterday, we killed and cooked those two little chickens that were hatched in September. Only two were left, out of seven, and inasmuch as we didn’t have any meat on hand when our storm hit us we decided to enjoy the chickens, so I made Ice cream and we really had a blowout. Ha! Ha! Our two neighbor men walked up to the store today, and brought eggs and a few other necessities that we had to have, but the blizzard is so terrific and the only way one can get there is by following the ditch banks in the fields. A horse can’t even get through the big drifts, so they just brought a few things on their backs.
Thursday Night, February 10, 1949
Today, before we even got our work quite finished up our neighbor man***came up and brought his wife and young baby girl that is just 10 days older then Sherri. She said she wanted to stay while Alton and her husband and another neighbor walked up to the store for supplies. We are running short of canned milk for the baby, so they walk up and get it. They also got some cheese, spam, eggs, etc. It is very fortunate for us because not many people can get to the store - so there are a few things left. Well, I was making cinnamon rolls, and carrot pudding and fixing dinner for our family and so I insisted they stay and have dinner. Our dining room started to leak and while we were eating dinner at about 4:30 it started to drip through on our table. The wind is just simply forcing the snow up under the shingles that are kind of loose. Before I went to bed the whole ceiling was wet with stains and the paper started to come loose. I read until 12 o’clock and just as I was getting in bed the lights went out-the power off.
Friday Morning, February 11, 1949
Well, we are in one xxxx of a mess. The whole dining room ceiling paper was loose when we got up this morning, and while Donna and I were trying to get our hair tied up and get up and break it so the water wouldn’t run all over, the whole thing came down with a bang and splashed water all over and didn’t leave 3 square feet of paper on the ceiling. We have had to keep pans under different spots all day, but it is turning colder tonight and has stopped leaking. And to make the day more dismal the power is still off, and this is making things very critical. No power to pump water so we have to melt snow. (We were fortunate that we had been hauling our water and had a can full for cooking.) Many people are feeding 3 or 4 hundred head of sheep and from 50 to 300 head of cattle, which are all crying for water. The highway, clear from town, is full of drifts from 4 to 20 feet high and it is difficult for the Power Company to get around and find breaks. Last night the wind was so terrific that I guess it just simple tore things to pieces. They were out all day yesterday with two snowplows, but still no power. We are sitting here by a little candle and hating to go to bed so early. The 4 smaller children are in bed. Our neighbor down the road has an electric stove and a stoker. I called her and invited her to come up here and stay, but she said they had their fireplace going and that they were quite comfortable. She boiled eggs for breakfast-in the fireplace. I had sent her some yeast a few days ago, and so she had baked, before the power went off, and had plenty of bread. Just the water situation bad, but they are drinking milk, as most of the rest of us have been doing. Ellis and Thelma can’t cook, either, but Thelma’s sister, Harriet, mixed bread and made them a kettle of soup so they are managing. The power has been off most of the day and with the wind howling from 40 to 70 miles an hour and piling drifts higher and higher, makes us feel that we are practically cut off from the rest of the world. Sally keeps saying, “Mamma, I know this must be the two years that the Church has been warning us about.” And it sometimes makes us wonder. I suppose it has already seemed like two years for the little girls, because they can’t even step outside for the wind is so strong. One cannot believe how the wind continues to pile up around our place. The drifts are as high as the eves of our house. The coalhouse is completely covered and Alton had to dig down and take the roof off to even get coal out of it. He drags through snow clear past his eyes to get coal and so brings in enough for two or three days at a time. Not a sign of our clothesline posts are left except the one at the end by the house. Drifts clear up above the top of the granary door. He dug it out today to get grain out for the cows and pig. The snow is also up about 4 feet above our corral fence. I’m wondering what will happen next. Anyway, we are grateful that we are all well, have plenty of food in the house, plenty of coal and enough fuel oil to last for another week. We read, play games, eat and sleep. We happened to just be out of meat-a locker full in town so we use eggs, cheese, spam and tuna. I have been making our butter as no milkman can get through to get the milk. Oh, yes, forgot to mention that today was a big day. They dropped our mail up by the store and a couple of the young neighbors braved the blizzard to go up and get it…just a letter from Mother and Daddy Braithwaite, card from Louise and the daily papers, but it did seem good to know we are still accessible by air, if necessary. They dropped the mail at several different places in Osgood, so that the men could try to walk that far and get it. Of course, some on the off side roads are not getting out at all. We are still happy and are so glad we are well and comfortable. Just afraid that I may run out of dextri-maltose for baby but the drugstore said the Red Cross would drop it by plan tomorrow if roads are not open.
Saturday Morning, February 12, 1949
Still no power! But the wind has subsided. Just a slow snowfall and does it seem good to not have wind. Seven days steady that it snowed and blowed heavy. The men on Osgood have divided up and are striking out to look for the power trouble. Each two men take a certain section. Do hope they find it as so many people are really suffering for water; especially those with electric stoves and cannot melt snow and boil it. It took Donna, Sally and I nearly all morning to melt a boiler full of water so I could rub out a few things for the baby and a change of underwear for the other children, as I haven’t washed for over a week because the blizzard has been to bad for Alton to haul water - other than for drinking and cooking. If the men find the trouble they will call it in and the Power Company can come right out to the spot, in a snow plane, and thus save time. Wish we had a sleigh as two sleighs have meandered around through the fields and made it up to the store. ---Can’t go straight up the road---drifts just mountainous. Hallelujah!!! At 8:15 tonight the lights came on, so things seem to be a little more encouraging. Also, due to the pressure of the man**** down the road (the one with the furnace and no heat) they have plowed out the road. Also had to do it to get the Power Company in to fix the lights. This man called the Commissioners and told them he would get the Sheriff - or the Governor, if necessary, to see that things were done around here, as he found out that instead of plowing out our roads they were down in New Sweden getting sheep out for some of the money men down there. They say the road is just a trail from Idaho Falls to the Osgood Store, with some snow piled clear to the telephone wires. Also had to cut through some fields as they couldn’t get through the highway as fast as through the field and were anxious to get power truck through as quite a lot of heavy equipment was necessary to fix the lights.
Sunday Morning, February 13, 1949
Grrrrrr! 28 below last night and we surely felt it. But the sun is shining and it is warming up fast. Alton has borrowed a little pair of bobs from some boys down the road-has no tongue in-just a chain to hook on to, but we are going to try to make it over to Ellis’s, also take our milk to the store, as our road down here still isn’t open and the milkman is coming that far to get milk. We want to take Ellis’s separator to him, too, for he has so much milk and if it blizzards again he can separate. Had fun going to Ellis’s - or trying. It was o.k. from here to the store where two or three sleighs had been through. Horses still had to wade past their bellies to get through, but on the other side of the store they had not been coming over with sleighs and so we had to break road. I got out and walked over a half mile, as Alton went out in the field and horses could just leap to get through and our little “contraption” didn’t have much t hang on to. Well, when Alton came out on the road again I got in and at each big drift Alton would get out and tromp around and finally go through. Some drifts were 13 feet high and packed hard enough that the horse’s feet would not go down more than a foot, but we still could only go to the house this side of Ellis’s so we unloaded the separator there and then walked over to visit with them. Only stayed 15 minutes as it took us 2 hours to go over and we wanted to get back before dark. When we got back to the store it was open and the mailman had taken advantage of the road being open and had brought the mail out. Surely wish I had mailed my letters, but never dreamed he would get out and they have promised to open our road early in the morning and then Alton and I are going to town for necessary supplies while the girls are home to tend babies. The parcel of valentines from Grandma and Grandpa Braithwaite were there, also a card from Grandma and the paper. The children were so happy and so we had family hour and had a little treat. Forgot to say Ellis and Thelma doing fine - Thelma doing her washing. We are all wondering about Joseph. A train hasn’t been in there for over 10 days. We called the oilman and asked him to bring us some oil as far as the store and we would get it, as we don’t want to take a chance on the road.
Monday Morning, February 14, 1949
Well, they decided to work at the spud cellar today and as soon as they get the road opened down to our house they are going to let the men come home and take their wives in to town. I have to take the cattle down to our neighbors to water and then I’m going to come home and get ready, for we can hear the bulldozer up by the store now. 10:30 and a slight wind has started to blow. I just came in to dry my mittens and get warm and then I will still take the cattle. I’ve been out feeding the pigs. 11:15 and I just came in from taking the cattle to water. The wind is blowing pretty hard-enough to drift heavy and cover up my tracks before I could get back from the neighbors, but the dozer is in sight and I guess, maybe, we’ll get to town. 12:15 Alton just came in for lunch and said the dozer had gone back as it was drifting in as fast as he was plowing it out-so guess we won’t go to town. I wouldn’t go, anyway, as snow is blowing so fast one can’t see very far, and we would have to go to the store in a sleigh and get someone to take us in, and I don’t want to get snowed out and leave the children alone. At least one of us should be here. Maybe this won’t be too bad and we can get out. We want to get Donna in town to stay with Juanita Decoria so she won’t have to miss so much school, as the school is going on just the same, and the kids down the road that got plowed out, have all gone in to stay until the roads are definitely opened. My neighbor that went to town in a truck is bringing me out some Dextri-Maltose and a few necessary things. Juanita has surely been good-calls once or twice a day to check on us and tell us any news on radio-while the power was off. Also, said Donna could stay with her. 4:30 Roads practically closed-only trucks coming through. The neighbor in the truck left Idaho Falls at 4:30 and didn’t get home until 10:20; His wife nearly crazy. Two women** and one man couldn’t get all the way home and had to stay with the bishop down on the highway. She was surely worried, as she had left her 10-month-old baby with her boys and not a telephone to call to tell them. But they were big boys-one a junior in High School-and they got along o.k. And then they had to walk over 3 miles home, in a blinding blizzard, Tuesday morning; but all safe and happy. The snow is piled up so high along roads that when one of these bad blizzards hit it doesn’t take long to close it in. Our children couldn’t get out to get valentines or to send any, if they had them to send, so we spent all day Monday making some and then they played post office and we each went for our mail and got our valentines. They also had some old ones that they rubbed the names off, so we had Valentine Day anyway, and a little treat after. Each one of the children had a candy bunny or a chicken and they think they are so cute they have them standing up in the cupboard.
Tuesday Morning, February 15, 1949
The wind blowed just like fury all night. Sometimes wonder how the buildings stay intact. When Alton came in from choring he was wet clear through and he had on his sheepskin coat and those fur-lined pants. That wind drove the snow with such force it just burns the face and goes right through clothes. So glad he has a good barn to milk in and keep cattle in. He has even had to put his pigs in there as the snow has piled up several feet high in their pens. About noon the wind subsided and the day was warm and beautiful. Alton fixed up the little bobs-they were just about apart, and then he piled all the little kinds on with him to go haul water. At 4 o’clock I put my water on to heat, started washing a little after 6 and was all through at 6:30. Right against the house---between drift and the house---I had enough space (out of 6 lines) to hang one tablecloth, 6 pillowcases and 12 diapers, so that much is out. I will try to dry the rest in the house. We are going to bed now. It seems so good for the wind to not be blowing.
Wednesday Morning, February 16, 1949
I had a good fire in the kitchen last night, and two lines across the kitchen, so twice in the night I got up and changed clothes that had dried so I could dry that many more, as I have so many to dry-not having washed for two weeks. Toward morning the wind came up again in all its fury. As soon as I got up, I dashed out to get my clothes-and was it severe! That wind blew the snow so sharply at my face I could not stay out long at a time and had to make three trips for that many clothes, and they were plastered with snow, and my coat and scarf were drenched, and even my hair wet in that short time. Surely hate to see men have to get out in these storms to do chores. I made a big tapioca pudding and had sauerkraut and sausage for dinner. The wind subsided a little so Alton went up to the store to pick up my grocers and drugstore supplies that were brought out that far and he couldn’t get them last night. My neighbor also brought us some meat out-but that’s a joke. Evidently, another Braithwaite has a locker at the same place we do, as that is the locker he got the meat out of. We had no pork in our locker, but he brought us out a nice pork roast, some sausage and two beef boils. The sausage was all thawed out and we were afraid it would be spoiled so we cooked it. If we are snowed in much longer we will use the rest of it and then make it right with him when we go in---cuz we are getting hungry for a little meat. All the meat was marked Braithwaite. Anyway, he’d have a tough time getting out here to get it. I just read Linda and LaVern some bedtime stories; Alton, Donna and Sally are reading funny books, and after I got the little ones to bed I decided to write a few letters so that I can mail them-if ever the opportunity presents itself again? When the mail is dropped by plane we have no way of mailing letters, but the wind is down a little tonight-and besides it was warm enough to thaw quite a little and so there is no loose snow to drift, so maybe we’ll be plowed out again soon, but it is getting pretty discouraging to the road crews. Oh, yes, Monday night Joseph called both Ellis and us to see if we had plenty of food and fuel. He said their road has been just about open and the buses had gone out, loaded with mail, but the blizzard had caught them before the opening was completed and the buses had to turn around and come back. One car had got out, also, and broke down and a snow plane was sent to rescue a woman, a tiny baby and two other small children. I’m telling you the highways are no place for anyone these days. Joseph and family have plenty to eat and plenty of fuel. He had a bad spell himself Sunday night, but better Monday. He says they are surely running short of feed-and he can’t sell any cattle, as they can’t get them out of there. The train hasn’t been in there since two weeks ago today. Fuel and food is getting very limited and I guess planes are afraid to fly around there in the winter on account of so many air pockets. Arco water supply was off for a day or so, and roads are blocked practically all of the time. Dr. Egbert was snowed out at Blackfoot, but guess he got home the other day when roads were open, but their road from Arco to Blackfoot is again closed. Have to go make formula for baby and then get to bed. They announce lessons over radio so Donna has been studying what she has at home. Donna had a nasty cold and earache.
Thursday, February 17, 1949
Today little Sherri Ann is 4 months old; she plays so sweet with her rattles and her hands. She is an adorable baby and we enjoy her so much. We are so grateful that she has been so well during this shut-in period. The wind was blowing some this morning, but quit during the day so Linda, LaVern and Sally spent about 3 hours outside sliding down the drifts on pasteboard boxes and their sleigh. We have a wonderful snowdrift right in our backyard for the children to play on. I cooked a nice pork roast, dressing and made pineapple sherbet and Donna made an orange layer cake for supper. Alton worked a full day today for the first time in a month.
Friday, February 18, 1949
Cleaned up my basement today. Found the Chinese checkers so the children have amused themselves all day with that. Alton worked again today. The Sugar Company snowplow came by today and opened the road, so we may get to town. They were just making a road to get some sheep out, and so it is not very good, but by pulling the car with a team to the Store we can get out if the highway is open. They have been over 50 hours coming about 3 miles, so I guess the road is really bad.
Saturday, February 19, 1949
Alton says we are going to town today, and it has been nearly a month since I have been any place, and so I have got to get busy and brush the hayseeds out of my hair. Ha! The wind is blowing, but is warm and the sun is shining. It has been thawing the last two or three days so maybe we’ll start feeling like we may have spring someday.
*This was Louis Johnson
**Afton Snarr was the lady snowed out when her baby daughter was 10 months old. (Can’t recall who the other lady was.)
***Wanda and Derwin Landon…they spent most of their days with us, as they were very low on fuel oil and food. They would come down early in the morning and stay until evening. She played the piano and so we would sing etc, along with playing games and keeping happy. We kept the ice-cream freezer busy most of the time (with no off limits) because we couldn’t ship milk and so we would skim and make butter and ice cream and throw out the skim milk.

Remarks- I can not identify her in any more census records. There are 5 entries of deaths for Elizabeth Braithwaite in the Kendal area from 1841-1851. The death index does not list the age of any of these entries so I can not tell if any of them are hers. I can not find a marriage for an Elizabeth Braithwaite with a father Thomas Braithwaite, shoemaker.
