00:02 My name is Katie or Katherine Clements. I'm 24 years old today is July 5th 2007. I'm in Butte Montana with my grandmother Clarence Richardson.

00:17 And my name is Clara's Richardson. I'm 89. I can have a birthday party for me yesterday though. And today's date is c77 alarm for 5th of July 9th. 2007 in Butte Montana. And Katie is one of my darling 22 grandchildren.

00:45 Well, I was wondering if you could tell me a little bit about how you came to Butte Montana because it's definitely a place very different than where you grew up. I grew up in a loss of places. Well, I was going to the University of Oklahoma and the very first month's there. I went to a Newman club meeting and the young man asked me out for coffee. I don't drink coffee but I learned and we kept dating. Christmas is going to get married and I was only freshmen he told me he was a freshman lawyer and I thought he was a freshman like me. I was so naive, She already had three calls three years of college and was in law school.

01:26 So anyway, we kept on dating.

01:29 He came home came back to Montana. I went back to Texas where I lives for the summer.

01:35 And then the next year.

01:39 We started dating again. He was still going who's in the second year of law school. I was a sophomore.

01:45 And you can go home at Christmas time to Montana. So I took him back to Texas where we were living and we went to midnight mass Texas night and then he asked me again. We got home. Would I marry him? I told him I would marry him when after I graduated.

02:04 But we kept on dating and I am kind of was talking right into him about my mother my mother got into my mother about him and

02:12 She said Clara's just you wasn't very much taller than I and she said they're Clara's remember that lots of good comes on up in small packages. So I took another look and we will miss citizenship Jedi. She told me that when I was a freshman and of course by the time I was engaged I was Lisa State engaged. He came back to Montana took his last year of Law School here in Montana and I was still in Oklahoma and came back about a couple weeks with us for that tie. My mother had moved to Oklahoma and where I was going to school because Daddy was out of work and my sister want to go to school so she took a boardinghouse the boys. When is it 12:00 boys upstairs and her family and her son while younger son of my sister and myself while Daddy was out looking for work.

03:00 And she was there for three years. So I graduated down there.

03:04 And George was down one summer for a couple weeks.

03:09 Many went back up to Montana and he wrote me a letter and he said that you know, I kind of chance to go in with the lawyer in Butte Montana or I'd like to go to Sydney. I could go to Sydney. Where would you like to live? Well, I was working on Library science. So I had a job in the library and I looked up on tana, and I found a few tonight. She had me.

03:31 And it was the largest city in Montana at 65000 at that time.

03:38 When I was first second third degree, there is first second third and fourth grades. I went to school in Chicago, Indiana.

03:46 We live in a big flat, but the schoolyard was right across the street. I had a place to play. I had a good life, but I never want to live in the city again. So when I found out the Butte was the largest city in Montana I said, I want to go to Sydney and that's why we're in Butte.

04:04 What was it? Like when you walked in to view the other day? I met a man who is 81 years old and he was born the same bedroom. They still lives in today. But you and Grandpa didn't know anybody in Butte. What was that? Like? Well, it was a nice place to be I didn't know anything about it and it's and I live in a flat country could always see the Horizon. I live in a lot of different states.

04:27 But Butte Mountain. I couldn't see over them, but I learned to like them and I've been abused citizens since 1940.

04:35 I'm very happy to hear that people are good. And I really like it. I don't want to live any place else.

04:42 You and Grandpa counter something rare you raised 10 kids Grandma. Tell me how you did it with great difficulty and you work with it. We didn't have much money because George was trying to do it all work and he everybody and do it was related to somebody else at that time when the mines were open.

05:06 And we know nobody in Bude so he had to go out a lot and had to join things in the evenings and I just stay home to care the kids for quite a long while.

05:14 But being a happy person I always went into things I whenever I could.

05:22 Should I tell you about the mineral and Gem Club? Yes.

05:27 Well last week and this is after World War II has it was in the service and we came back to beautiful about 1945 and he met somebody with a friend and a friend bought him a ticket about how to take their membership in a mineral and Gem Club in Butte and he kind of enjoyed it. He like the rock so you found in building in my engine specialist in the mines and things

05:51 I could go only once in awhile because we had four children by then and the one with the baby.

05:58 So I didn't go very often but when I did go there was not another woman in the club. Not one.

06:06 And as the years went on I was able to go some more but I could get a babysitter that kind of stuff and and woman's daughter join us and later on. I became the first woman president of the mineral and Gem club and I went back after things settled Ismael husband, and I'm honorary member still on their board member.

06:30 What kind of meat you go and hunt for the difference, would you go hunting for different rocks and gems all we do it for free or whenever we could I couldn't take as many as he did because sometimes I had babies but even take the kids and my mother is not going to be a rockhound in Tulsa Oklahoma by that time when she was visiting that she can go with him. Even if I couldn't we enjoyed it and the kids enjoyed it the country. Oh, yeah. It was a hard though being left behind. I didn't like it but I lived.

07:02 You don't have to accept what you can't do you have to I would rather have gone sure but

07:11 That's a matter of hiring a babysitter. And sometimes you're nursing a child or something and you can it's kind of hard to hire a babysitter. If you hit your baby, you tell me about time that you were talking finances is Grandpa and he said that he has all the books up at his office. Yes. He was annoyed by that time. He had his own office. And sometimes we couldn't meet our monthly bills the caveman books. Newly by the next month. You would have made another another enough money that we can pay those and keep up with it all.

07:42 So why when I have my situation and I was never a person a business person like how much money you got up there. Anyway your office as well. Come on up. I'll show you my books. If you do that. I would have had to pound and find a babysitter to stay with my kids change clothes and looks like a nice lady going up to a lawyer's office. So I never went but we never went hungry. How did you do chores like grocery shopping?

08:12 Grocery shopping. I just went grocery shopping take whatever kids were home at couldn't stay home by themselves. So, you know, you'd have to take a bunch of them. But as the years went on George started shaking several of the kids with a cold and I'll be home in a little ones. I never liked your grocery shopping.

08:30 But he would take us and I've known since its and I know he would tell him I have them watch the prices and look for what's the best price and so he was teaching them that when they were there and I talked to him last summer the kids. She said she she thought it was great to go to the grocery store with him, and I didn't realize that before.

08:50 And he would gold and he would busy people and talk with him every so often you pick up a client.

08:55 So it was for him it was good to go to the grocery store and take the kids for me. It was good, too. I didn't have to go.

09:02 How about meals you have a huge family? How do you make a meal run smoothly?

09:08 We had helpers with a big family who had one child who was

09:14 Happy for dinner helper.

09:17 When was the after-dinner helper and one who was a jumper so people wouldn't get the getting up the paper and goes to get something out of the icebox and some Jam or something. They wanted only to help or could not get up and run around looking for sex and it works pretty good. It worked. All right, because that was what we did their jobs and work good.

09:37 How did your family get around the family get around? How did he get around in a car? We didn't have a car at first for a while. But yes, you got we got a car and eventually we got one of these cars with three seats it is and of course.

09:55 Shortly after that the family over 20 years difference between the first one and the number 9 and 10 and so we had it three seats are in a dog and it works real good.

10:10 Putting kids in 20 years. I prayed for twins when I was first married on her that would be so nice to have twins and I prayed a while or after a while. I quit praying for twins.

10:25 And so

10:27 Got pregnant again for my knife child. And this is a long time ago before you doctors know as much as they did now, so I went to hospital to get this child. His child was born doctor. Look at me says there's another one in there.

10:42 14 minutes later we had their number, but they went down the hall for George to see if you had twins. She looked at it.

11:02 And other people respond to big family and Butte they were many big families some places with during the World War II part 2 with my worship before we had the big families in Butte.

11:15 I would people would look online. And now you just know they got oh my gosh what she doing a lots of people with big families. So I never got that again. Thank goodness. I love you. I like the people. That's great. I'm happy to be here again. Stay here don't want of any place else. Why is that because I like you and I like the mountain people. We just couldn't to me here and I could

11:47 If you had any advice to give to mothers today, what would that be to give to mothers?

11:55 Not particularly. No.

11:57 I I don't show that it's not very smart to go out and give advice to people unless they ask.

12:03 You might have some pictures of your own but you're better to keep them to yourself. So maybe that's the advice keep your opinions to yourself down you're doing wrong and so on.

12:18 Please tell me about the ice skating rink by your house on parfrey Street about a house first and Hospital St. James hospital and stand right in there. I see room with other people.

12:33 You are standing exactly where our kitchen was.

12:37 They and it makes you look out the window. You see their parking lot at cars. It was a vacant lot and every winter the city came down and made the ice skating rink for the kids. We had lots of shoes on my back porch and I always kept my bad days happen because you never know when somebody would need one. But anyway that they can kids always have fun on this ice skating rink and the and one dog out their kind of a large dog. He play with him and with the younger kids he met him had to take his tail and he pulled across the road at the ice rink.

13:14 I know she'll some puddles out then it's kind of cold but not not a lot of snow at the time and if I put my twins they were about three or four years old for the clothes. I don't set him out into our yard with this very very small yard with a right close to a little dirt road.

13:30 And and it was we did have a alligator a fence around and so I put them out for a little while out the kitchen window.

13:40 In what is now the parking lot and left out there and have some puddles of water and there were two though make a kids out there in the water playing.

13:53 So course, I would have to get them and they look at me and smile. We're wearing.

14:06 It was so funny because they were so happy out there for women.

14:11 Ghana music has always been a part of your life, and I was wondering if you could tell me about its significance to you.

14:19 My mother had a beautiful soprano. She had two years of college and was trained in singing and piano playing her voice. She had a beautiful voice. She was too. Shy to she grew up in Western Kansas, but she got a job in Des Moines, Idaho, and she was teaching the school the music that time and she wants to church choir and there was a man singing there are two of them eventually married.

14:46 And so I had to music in my life long before I was even conceived but I said music piano lessons and always I have music mother didn't teach anymore after they were married those days. You didn't miss much especially to town if you want to Country School you mine for not in town and my daddy we moved around a lot and why we had so many jobs, I never knew. But anyway, we moved a lot and we get into a little town here. They will be singing in the choir and I understand choirs to and Ivan the Great school. We had a the Catholic thing. They taught us in grade school. The last four years erase go to sing at Latin Mass Gregorian chant type.

15:33 Do I always have music in my family? Daddy can come in a little town they go to church or they might have a choir they might not but they would and he would learn he learned taught himself to do it. He directed me several choirs different places we lived when he died. He was big one of the big parishes in Tulsa, Oklahoma directing the choir and mother was singing it. Well, this goes on I got my kids and I sang in high school and inquires all through college eyes. I see clubs in high school all the time.

16:08 We came to Montana.

16:11 We have no car and I wasn't about to walk around and look for a church middle of the night in a strange town so I can Santa fly or so. I didn't sing but I had music in the sound all the kids, but one got some piano lessons that one told me this a few years ago. He wished I'd made him but I couldn't.

16:32 And he but they all learn horns or drums are sending they all played in the central bands except for one and that one became a bigger penis than I

16:47 Eventually, we we got to piano. So before he grew up and got a way we used to play 2 piano music and that was a lot of fun and always we had Christmas carols all that kind of stuff in a homework two or three kids playing on their instruments. We almost had a band one time, but it worked good. If a lot of fun.

17:05 And by the time my husband died with his Alzheimer's I would sing to him at night.

17:12 The best at playing the piano in the daytime we had a son living with this is that the time would come back to go to school and he belong to a church choir.

17:23 You like music so he would come upstairs in the morning from the bedroom. Good morning. Good morning. How are you this morning, honey? I do feel so good. We sang so dumb, sometimes it was just that we had a granddaughter there this half. This is kind of person. She was having lots of troubles at home. And so she came to live with us and she thought we were so stupid and one day she forgot herself and answered us in a song or you just about popped and she didn't choose. You know, what you were going to do a thing like that. It was funny gender and she did and she's become a wonderful grandchild.

18:03 But after George died and the son was living with his head cologne. I got a job someplace else and this is his daughter. She was going back to school.

18:14 It wasn't anybody home to do any kind of music with me.

18:20 I didn't like rock and roll. But if I tell you that anybody asked me to join him, I wouldn't have at that time. I was so lonesome for somebody to be with with music. So the read in the paper that the symphony was going to try out fights Corral and I thought will swear if you might want to try out won't get off. Any worse won't be any worse than you are now if you don't make it and I didn't have the voice like my mother. I had a mediocre a little small range. She had a big range, but not me.. I made it I made it and I've had it for 4 years now and had more fun with these people.

18:56 The first year I was there. We've and I have to practice at home to keep up with him. I really do. I've been practicing more singing. I have piano lately.

19:04 What Cham?

19:07 About all about it. It's about two or three sessions before the Christmas program that first year the instructor and leader said we're going to have to be going to do Handel's Messiah. Anybody here who's not cuz I'm most people who is singing much have some it and I haven't seen any forethought music since I came to buta 1940.

19:28 So I just seen the choirs in choirs. I didn't have school school school singers. You know what I'm so many they talk singing in public schools.

19:40 So everybody raise their hand nobody raised their hand. I mean cuz it also I didn't raise mine either but I wasn't lying after the rehearsal I would upset. You know, I sang When I was a sophomore in high school 1932

19:58 And I'm still in that car I live and the people are so good to me. They really are and I just loved it. He says Sing to your kids as well.

20:08 I don't have kids at home anymore when they were young. Oh, yeah, we would sing around the piano. I play music New Year's no taste like that is always song for kids think someone wants some of my cowboy music. So I got to go through that again and they can happen, I was wondering if you'd be willing to sing a little bit of the one of those songs for me. Oh my gosh, what kind of I don't know. I haven't maybe some songs like that. I've been practicing and once we have to sing the Corral and after that's over when I don't think

20:45 We are always singing songs every time I see you or do I sing? I don't remember everything.

20:53 That Adam remember I'm supposed to be bringing but I will try to make you happy dear enough. That's perfect.

21:14 Baby doesn't songs you're best at improvising.

21:21 You said that used to sing to Grandpa every night when he started getting Alzheimer's I was wondering if you could tell me about his Alzheimer's.

21:30 It's very sad.

21:33 Very sad and you when you first know that he's not the man you married you wonder what happened and being librarian by that time. I spoke to her bitter Library. Wish I wasn't after I got married, but I went to the library to look for Alzheimer's I read everything I could find. I didn't know what it was that why he wasn't my husband anymore.

21:53 And so I read

21:57 And by that time there's a medication coming up on TV.

22:02 So I went to my doctor talked to him. He said this new I don't know much about it.

22:10 The doctor before him the town I asked him about it one time and he just said probably early Alzheimer's so I never knew my current talked about it cuz I don't know much about this medicine is brand new and it gave me something to read. So I took it home and radish and I left it on the website and I know my husband right at 2, and he was an early Alzheimer's at the time.

22:34 So you might say I decided Rose has I was going to make a diagnosis of George's and I told my doctor and he set me up with medications. Ask about that. He didn't know too much about and I know they helped him a lot. But at the end they they wasn't they weren't that they couldn't help him enough, you know, it wasn't too hard, but it did help his memories and things.

22:58 But sometimes funny things have a miracle if people felt I was Heber City attorney one-time viewed.

23:05 I'm here. And he still had his office. So after that and we were coming home one time, he was still driving and doing pretty good job. He was doing a good job of driving and he was still be able to drive. We were coming home. He's going over the speed limit in The Gorge. This is a 25 mile speed limit didn't say much because you know, I wrote that ordinance of the things I say.

23:31 But that wasn't

23:37 Snowdown Auto

23:44 Send interesting and you accept what you have me the best you can with it.

23:52 And if you don't

23:54 Having a hard time yourself you have to do with that.

23:57 We were never sorry. We talked about our 10 kids one time.

24:04 And one of the pieces wish we hadn't had them all and you know, we decided we were glad we had all 10 of them and Trevor the talks. You don't always have to talk to you wish you had your kids or not, but we did and we were both happy with our team kids.

24:19 It wasn't easy.

24:21 Special to tell everybody had around here except us.

24:25 It was and I love you. So.

24:28 He's gone out to carry until the end.

24:31 He never got violent because he got violent like many men people doing all timers. I would have had to put him someplace else, but I had part time help with him and was able to keep him home.

24:43 He's got so he couldn't really talk anymore. He could make a few remarks music. He made it to the helpers, not me.

24:50 I bet if I look in your eyes, I knew he knew me even if you couldn't say anything to me and toward the end he could end up with these kids that would come about two weeks before he died his daughter who is his granddaughter was staying with us was graduating from high school, and I don't want Anna for kids for about 6 that we're going to come in for her graduation.

25:14 So I could tell him that once in awhile and and he knew his children to and his grandchildren when they would come in and say hello to him. He was in bed.

25:25 Self he she cried out. I was at the end. They always say God, please take him tonight he needs to go and I can no don't take him down that'll ruin her graduation party of one way or the other. Anyway, the kids came in everybody went to the graduation. Except me. I was home taking care of him and then my helper came in to help him put to bed put him to bed. He couldn't you couldn't even turn over by himself by that time or talk or anyting.

25:54 And I was thinking that every night but some nice to know.

25:58 I put him to bed in the graduation was over in this was Sunday night. His dad had a ribbon living mother's had a job in Louisiana by that time and he had to go back to next day had fling and the last one of our kids had gone back to her home and wherever she lived in long hair. She lived in Montana.

26:16 We had one grandchild living here who came over to visit with her dad and almost her dad came over to visit with Uncle Dave. He was in town.

26:27 And

26:30 They talked a lot and he walked home with her cuz you only have a couple blocks from us and I waiting I was really tired after all the people there and I went in and I talked to George a little bit and told him how much I loved him.

26:42 Got myself ready for bed. And sure he was comfortable. He looked at me and this is the best present ever gave me he looked at me and he said I love you hadn't talked to me in ages. He said that I kissed you. Goodnight and got in my baby. Couldn't sleep the same bedding longer.

26:59 Got my bed set the alarm to get up in about 3 hours and 20 more so cuz he couldn't even turn himself. I got to have went to his bed and he was gone. He waited for his kids to come home. And for this one girl to get it to go to graduate from grade school.

27:16 You just never know I was so fortunate and having him and some of the other Alzheimer's patients since I've known about his wonderful. We had a good marriage can't complain.

27:30 I don't have a lot of memories of Grandpa before he was sick. I was wondering if you could tell me one of your favorite memories when you guys were younger.

27:38 Enjoy your last question. Can you tell me some stories of when you were younger with Grandpa when I was younger?

27:46 How much younger?

27:52 Oh gosh, so many things have been on.

27:57 I want to be a Potter and I finally got a chance to learn to do some partying and of course, I wonder if we all just wanted to kill the fire things in.

28:09 Sometimes he would go out with a friend have a drink or so before you come home and he be late for supper supper with a 6-1 separate was going back and he would come home a little bit late. We didn't have a lot of money, but I would get a dollar and put it in the Old Powder box. I had my powder box button. Call her and say a word I gave it. If I did not say anything. I would put a dollar you.

28:36 Sometimes you want to say why didn't you come home? I never said anything. I put a dollar in if you stayed a little later than I thought. It was too late.

28:44 And if I said Clara's if you don't say anything, you don't get mad you can put $5 in.

29:15 We had a wonderful 50th wedding anniversary. Kids all came and that was really nice. It was great to have that course that was in 1990. Just when he was starting his father.

29:28 And I bet he was and I knew he had all the time and I hadn't told my children anything yet because it just wasn't that obvious. So I didn't say into my kids. We went to Alaska with a couple of kids in a couple in one of their two kids something that was never my family came into their home in Canada. We drove up there and spend Christmas morning and the kids gave me a bunch of lived up there gave me a teddy bear teddy bear. They gave me that teddy bear. I knew about George they didn't

32:19 Grandma I want to jump back in time a little bitter to your grandfather guess skillport, and I was wondering if you remember any of his pioneer stories.

32:30 I'm going to be in Chicago, but I somehow got a shorthand class and I think she got some typing and not sure about that. But anyway, we went down to Kansas and they were having their 50. I think it was the same year. They had a 50th anniversary of might have been a little different here. I'm not sure and did not 1929 or 1927 and mother took her paper and pencil went down and I can remember my grandfather sitting on the porch my grandmother sitting by my mother sitting by and taking everything in short run and ask him about his pioneering the off life and then she wrote up his stories and called him tells my father tells and I have the original still but I did pass on a copies to all my kids.

33:12 He told us about the Minions that he had met and he knew General Custer when I came to Butte everybody. General Custer was just a wonderful person. So I was careful not to say anything about that because my grandfather thought it was pretty awful.

33:30 And has been experiencing stressing that he did not think of it Pleasant.

33:34 But so I did finally send those are the people that set up the Custer Battlefield years ago.

33:44 And baby, I got gas at lost time and how they lost until you write. Somebody wrote me that if I was sending I don't know this person ever gotten him. I don't know what happened. So I sent him another copy never heard from again. I don't think they liked it.

34:07 Then he went back to Ohio and Mary young lady had met there quite a few years earlier brought her down to Western Kansas. My brother was born when they live in the sod house.

34:18 My father was brought over to from France to Nebraska and they got a homestead play music when my father was 18 months old. Maybe they didn't even have a wood floor that a dirt floor so it's been a long time but it took him back to France. Once I think is about 12 years old, but as an adult, he could never go back because he hadn't done it Army service, and he would have been in trouble if you went back to fast, so he never got to go back again, but I got to have for he was gone.

34:50 Grandma's what have you learned to be the most important thing in life?

34:55 Like my God and my church.

34:59 Those of you who know the Our Father?

35:05 Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation that much that I think is the most important thing in life.

35:17 Just for me it is.

35:20 When you meet God, what do you want to say to him?

35:24 Other voice George

35:32 Will I miss him very very much and I feel personally that he is in heaven. I find myself praying for him for the things that I need help with paying for it and then I called pray to God to a few things, but I always pray to George too and I miss him very much. If you just tell me about that briefly. This was my grandfather's Watch chain.

36:00 And after he died, it was cut into four sections. He had $4.03 itself cut into four sections and a choker made for each of his daughters.

36:10 When my mother died I got hers.

36:14 And then my I have another Aunt who never married and living Wichita Kansas and she would have had been living with her sister who had whose husband had died long before that. They were both living together since you're gone, but I went down to when I found out I didn't hear from her right? I thought I got to go see what's the matter. So one of my kids he was 18 at the time and I drove down. We stopped at their brothers home in Western Kansas overnight and then went on down to Addy's.

36:43 So we stay there and help him close up the house.

36:47 And he was her power of attorney Phantom my son and I need someone to buy it at Abby's car. So she sold out of his car to my son.

36:57 Can pay for it right away. So we took him home and he paid for it though. But later on I got a package from my uncle who was younger than he was young. He was two years younger than my mother and the youngest one of the family and you gone to the lockbox and he sent me both of the sisters Croaker's from Grandpa's watching their way, they're off box. So I had to

37:22 Tell him by that time I had learned metalsmithing. Enjoy making jewelry. I'm not ignoring bad. And so I put the three sections together. My husband had a mining claim up in the highlands and the other man working up there one summer.

37:38 We got several nice nuggets from that man. So I put the three chains together with Montana knife between them.

37:49 And I wear that quite a lot now, that's what I'm wearing. Today is my grandpa's watch to take before it's watching his other daughter had 7 kids. I have no idea who got hers, but I had three of them that's what I'm wearing today. This is special to me with nuggets from George is mine hand.

38:07 Grandpa's watching and I can put it together.

38:14 What questions?

38:17 Thanks, I appreciate talking to you. I'm glad you asked me questions. I never know what to say. I talk too much. Anyway, thank you very very much.

38:28 What am I?
