In my research of my ancestors, I found an old newspaper article that mentions my Grandfather and his brother made (the move) trip from Plymouth County, IA, to their new home in Armour, S.D. by SLEIGH. Yes, SLEIGH. I would love to have seen that happen. It is mentioned in the same article that their Mother and younger sibs made the trip by train. The date of the article is January 1, 1915. That is lots of miles across there to Armour from LeMars, Iowa. And there had to be plenty of SNOW for the sleigh to be a good mode of transportation!! Grandpa was 26 yrs old and single at the time of this trip. Just had to share an earlier SNOW story from the Iowa newspaper archives. I love it!!

Are there anymore about how they managed in the snow back before modern heating and cars. Was it like Little House on the Prairie?
