Emily Elizabeth Sayles Recalls
cidents of Christmas, 1854,
in Plattsmouth.
In-
Spending ner elghly-firth Christ
mas holidays in Nebraska, Mrs. Emily
Elizabeth Sayles thought the prime
difference between Christmas, 1854,
at Plattsmouth, and Christmas, 1938,
near Lincoln, was the fact that she
no longer served "crackling corn
bread" for dinner, nor greeted Santa
Claus in a formal gown which owed
its bocped effect to carefully selected
and prepared grapevine.
Mrs. Sayles, daughter of Oliver
and Sarah Jenkins Ward, was born
at Savannah. Mo., August 17, 1848,
the third of a family of 12 children.
i ne lamily crossed by ferry to
riansmouin Jiuy l, 1S54, after an
overland trip in an early model
prairie schooner, powered by two
ppan of very lackadaisical oxen. They
lived in a crude log hut near Platts
mouth for several years, and she re
calls the abundance of wild fruit
as well as wild game. Her grand
father, a huntsman of no mean abil
ity, kept the family in venison.
Although she had all she could do
to help with the homework, Mrs.
Sayles recalls that she wafc able to
go as far as the course of study per
mitted In public school. Their recrea
tion came in the form of wool card
Ings and shearings, when the entire
neighborhood came in to assist with
the work.
Mrs. Sayles was married in 1867
to John Sayles, native of Indiana.
They had four children: Anna May,
now dead; Myrtle Ethel, now Mrs.
John Edward Gable of Waverly;
Edith Lenore, now Mrs. Laurel L.
Johnson of David City, and Oliver
Eldred. Mrs. Sayles makes her home
with Mr. and Mrs. Gable. She has 11
grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.
She is now In her ninety-first year.
but if there had been a corn crop
she planned to startle the neighbor
hood by assisting with the corn husk
ing. She vow3 that she would have
kept up with her son-in-law.
