W. Cook ranch of 12 sections, northwest of town, where they remained two years. Harry never forgot his first Iowa winter and recalls vast fields of snow and how he plowed his way about with only the tops of fenceposts visible and his frequent upsets from point to point. On this ranch were many horses that had served as street car horses elsewhere and it took skillful handling to work them satisfactorily after the street car training but Harry soon learned their ways and by means of kind treatment and gentle persuasion taught them ranch methods. So severe were the blizzards in those days, lasting as they generally did from three to four days, it became necessary to stretch a clothesline from the house to the barn in order to find one's way and several times did Harry get lost while journeying to the neighbors, after hours spent in the blizzard trying to locate them. Tiring of ranch life Mr. Waggoner came to Odebolt and later on engaged in the painting and paperhanging business.. Mr. Waggoner married, and they had six daughters. ------------------------ Birth: Sep. 5, 1834 Perry County Pennsylvania, USA Death: Feb. 24, 1895 Odebolt Sac County Iowa, USA [Edit Dates] WAGGONER, Henry M 18354-- 24 Feb 1895 Odebolt -- Richland Twp.
