Beatrice Oorton Klingback

Married Eldon Klingback, mother to Roger and Rae Klingback. Strongest woman you’ve ever met. An amazing cook, seamstress, and always knew the proper order of doing things to get the right result. She worked outside just as much as she worked inside. She LOVED fishing.

Eldon Klingback

He went up to stigbnite mines to build houses with someone so he would know how to build one, he came back and built the current house we live in now. It took about three years to finish the house 1950-1953, he had borrowed $5000 which was enough to build the house and two barns. All the lumber came from Carlocks mill above ola which is where he was employed to sharpen the saws and had broken his back. He had made money through high school by selling sheep manure out of his dad’s sheep barn for people’s gardens. Kennie Lyn says that Eldon and his wife Beatrice were very particular and profectionists. He is also the person she argued with most (her father in-law), and says he was occasionally very funny. And he loved his family.

Scotch Thistle ☠️

noxious w**d. Is a toxic, branching winter annual or biennial that grows 2-6 feet tall in disturbed areas, such as pastures, roadsides, ditches, and fencerows. Ingestion can cause nitrate poisoning in cattle and sheep. Nitrate poisoning may exhibit difficult and rapid breathing, muscle tremors, low tolerance to exercise, incoordination, diarrhea, frequent urination, collapsing, and death in livestock.

☠️deadly to you and your livestock☠️

What causes hemlock poisoning? Hemlock poisoning can occur after ingesting even small amounts of poison hemlock. The plant contains several toxic compounds called alkaloids. These alkaloids slowly poison your neuromuscular junctions, which send messages from your nerves to your muscle fibers. Remove individual plants by hand pulling (use a shovel) , or spot application of a herbicide. Wear gloves to minimize direct contact with the toxic sap, and do NOT inhale pollen.
