  • Notes 
    • I wrote a letter to Mrs. Darrel Wold asking if she had any informatio n o n my Henry Franklin Spidell family. This is the letter I received bac k fr om her.

      Riverdale, Idaho
      Jan. 17, 1977

      Dear Brenda,

      I began this letter sometime ago as you can see, but I am an installme n t writer. Any way, I had shoulder surgery the end of Jan. and just no t ab le to write much yet. I checked the Riverdale Cemetery records thoro ughl y & could find no Spidell buried here. The only place it appeared i n th e records is a boy 2 months old born in 1891 abt. He was Earnest Nel son s on of Thomas W. R. & Minnie Spidell Nelson.

      I went to see my uncle James (Jimmy) Woolf, who is 94, will be 95 in M a y and took down what he told me of the Spidell family. He has lived he r e since 1880's.

      The Spidells, Frank & Pop, bought a farm at the foot of the old dugwa y a t the West end of Riverdale. He never knew what Mrs. Spidells name wa s, t hey called her Pop. I said the name Spi'dell and he said in those da ys th ey said it Spy'dle. He could remember some of the family, Henry, Re uben , Paul, Ira, Clyde, Minnie and Bessie. He went to school with Clyd e and I ra. (Jimmy was 8 yrs. old in 1890). One son was killed in a railr oad acci dent at work, in Bear Lake-Montpelier area. He thought that thi s man's wi dow later married another of the Spidell boys. He said the fam ily moved t o Rupert or American Falls area when they left Riverdale. Th e last he rem embered, Reuben was with the police or sheriffs force up th ere in Am. Fal ls he thought.

      Clyde settled in Gentile Valley area, (Thatcher, Cleveland, Grace etc. ) I ra settled in Downey for a time. A Mr. Wright married one of the girl s. H e was a school teacher. He couldn't remember her name for certain, m ayb e Bessie.

      Minnie married Tom Nelson, he told me but he didn't remember the baby b o y was buried up here. He (Jimmy) would have been only 7 yrs. then.

      This Uncle Jimmy of ours has a remarkable memory and I'd be intereste d i n knowing how much of this he remembered from his youth is correct.

      He also related one story about Mr. Spidell, the father, Frank, that h e r emembers.

      Frank, having a prominent nose always said that if he ever met a man w h o has a bigger nose than mine, I'll give him my pocket knife & would sh o w them his favorite pocket knife. One day at the Franklin Grain Mil l a gr oup of men were talking when a stranger with a very prominent nos e walke d in. Frank took out his knife walked up to him and handed it t o the stra nger, who said "What's this for?" When told it was because h e had the big gest nose in the valley he tried to give it back as he didn 't agree. Fran k wouldn't take it, though. He insisted the man keep it. " I keep my wor d & yours is bigger than mine so that knife is yours unti l you find a ma n with a bigger now!"

      I don't know if you like this story but I would like to know little thin g s about my grandparents & I enjoyed it and it is a true incident.

      I hop you received information abut the burial place of Paul Spidell (w a s that the one?) sooner than I'm sending this to you.

      A member of the C. Richard Choules family (a daughter-in-law remarried ) R adia Bell, still owns the home where Spidell's lived but not much o f th e farm.

      (Zera Wold 62 but still kicking)

      Sincerely
      Mrs. Darrel Wold
      Pt. 2 Box 413
      Preston, Idaho 83263
