Camp Green, Oct. 22,-I think | told
you in previous letter that the en-
tire Idaho Hospital company were in
vited to spend the day at Steele creek.
The people of that community came
after US at about 10:30 Sunday morn
ing in autos, taking over 100 of US
there to spend the day. We arrived
in time for church and there was an
immense crowd present. The SER
mon was fine, for I proceeded, as is
my usual custom, to go blissfully to
sleep. Those who were near me said
l didn't snore, so l didn't disgrace my
companions. After church the head of
each family invited two of US to eat
dinner with them. Serg. Sodergrun of
Wyoming, who is sergeant in the
headquarters company, and myself ate
with one family. The dinner was serv-
ed on the lawn from baskets, and
never in all my life saw such we'll
filled baskets. Fried chicken garlore,
sweet potato pie and all kinds of other
pie, cakes, tarts, fancy pastry with
whipped cream on them-these were
small part of the good things we
had to eat. No wonder l was i'll
that night | ate like pig, it being
over a month since had tasted home
cooking. Our camp meals are fine, but
of course nothing compares with good /
home victuals. In the afternoon SER
vices were held again and l repeated
my performance of the morning SER
vice. We arrived in camp at about 5,
happy but tired, and very grateful
for the splendid hospitality shown US
by the warm-hearted friends we had
made at Steele creek.

There is nothing at Steele creek
except the church, set in the midst of
beautiful and prosperous commun-
ity. The people there boast that the
church is the largest country church
in the South. 1t will seat more peo-
pie than any church in Emmett, the
auditorium being about square and
almost $50 feet long, with balcony
overhead. 1t is very plain building,
looking more like fortified enclosure
than a church. 1t is built of brick.
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1917-11-01

A large and well kept graveyard
stands near the church. The oldest
grave is that of an unknown man
who was killed by being thrown from
horse in 1850. There are many in
teresting graves there, one being that
of General Irwin, buried in 1900, who
l suppose was Revolutionary hero.
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1917-11-01

The oldest records they have of the
church tell of a land grant given
them by the king of England in 1850
for a strip of land lying between the
old and new meeting house, and the
new meeting house is supposed to be
the one now used. While it is a plain
building, / don't suppose they would
trade it for the best church in the
country, on account of its historical
memory. While there is no town or
village near it, yet it has member
ship of over 700, and it is filled every
Sunday. 1t is of Presbyterian faith.
