Mildred was born the youngest of 15 children at the ranch home west of Cody, on March 16, 1919, to Benjamin and Mary Carpenter Hale. Her parents had migrated from eastern Kentucky to southern Missouri where Ben traded their Missouri farmstead for the ranch at Cody - "sight unseen." Mildred attended country school at District 81 and graduated from Cody High School with the class of 1937. While serving as editor of the "Cody Hi Chat" Mildred met Wallace Teaford, the young publisher of the Cody Roundup. They were married on June 14, 1937. During WWII they lived in Hastings where Wally worked at the ammunition depot. Following the war they moved back to Cody, and Mildred worked at the Bank of Cody. They later purchased the Ford dealership, Cody Motor Co., where she served as the bookkeeper and was recognized by Ford for her outstanding work. They operated the business until Wallace's death in 1961 at age 43. Mildred noted in her autobiography, "Bend With The Wind," that after his death, how thankful she was for her five children including three younger children. She returned to the Bank of Cody as cashier and the dealership was managed by her son-in-law, Hank Greff. After selling the business, she moved to Rapid City, S.D., for one year and in 1972 moved to Burwell, where she worked as bookkeeper for FWTransport until her retirement. Mildred was a lifetime member of the Episcopal Church, an avid bowler and bridge player. She enjoyed travel - taking her older sisters to Kentucky, visiting her son, Chet, in Alaska and later in Dominica when he was in the Peace Corps, also visiting daughter, Patricia, and her family while they were in Saudi Arabia. Other journeys were to Barbados, China, Jordan, Egypt, and Europe and throughout the U.S. In the l970s she purchased a cabin at Lake McConaughy, which is still enjoyed by her children and grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, Wallace; her parents, Benjamin and Mary Hale; brothers, Tom, Charlie, Taylor, George, Everett, two infant boys; and sisters, Jennie Eley, Myrtle Belville, Bertha Lenington, Marie McClaran, Nora McClaran, Stella Jackson, one infant girl; and granddaughter, Miriam Udell.
