Ira Stamphill….. ‘ I’ve got a mansion just over the hill top, in that bright land where we’ll never grow old; And some day yonder we will never more wander, but walk on streets that are purest gold.” It is comforting for me and Carla Gifford when we remember that our dear friend, Glaida Belle (Peterson) Craven of Kit Carson has passed to Heaven, and that both of sets of our parents are having a joyful time together in that bright land.

Then, when they started on the cull cows, he looked at his companions questioningly, and they nodded and rose en masse and walked out into the yard.
