In the early pioneer days of the West, education was not general ivieoansi - is suu the most important par of a family’s life, especially teach m R and llving at once the child reached the age of being helpful. Laura Angus bt. Jessie Gibbs, my mother, wanted to go to school and some day teach school. It seemed she was doomed to be a hired hand, since her only brother had a crippled ' leg and was handicapped as far as being any help on the $5? farm was concerned. For many seasons Laura rode horseback, cooked ipj for threshers, herded cows, rode the plough and each gjj!? £ time she saw her mother at mealtime or at bedtime her constant plea was to go to school. To avoid violence -JL ,4 from the father (for his attitude towards education was d nil) Laura and her mother went to bed as usual but later i i sneaked out and hitched the horse and loaded the buggy with baggage and drove eleven miles to Wcyburn so she ' • » IA]H| could stay with her grandparents to go to school. The mother returned before dawn and continued the ! day ' s routine saying nothing until the sunset of the day. She faced the issue and told the father how she had taken v Laura away in the night. He was furious. “ ' .. . About a week later he cooled off and came in to dinner and said to his wife. If Laura thinks she needs education, how much more does my son who is handicapped for manual laboi. You freshen up his shirts and take him to school tomorrow. The six Gibbs ' children of Me Taggart all attended high school as a result of this incident Brian Gibbs, son of Roy Gibbs who farms the original homestead at |, t49 McTaggart, graduates this year from V the collegiate.
