uel k. Green, and my son, Seth sam uel Green, and the family of my fla ther. Seth Dodge, I arrived in Arizo- na in the fall of 1878, settling in For estdale. Apache county. We were soon driven out by the Indians and located in the little town of Taylor on Silver creek I lived there one year and then moved to the Gila in 1880, assisting in the location there of the settlement of Pima. which was known at that time as SmithVille.
 My husband died while we were on our way to the Gila and Is buried at F-orestdale.
 At the time of our arrival on the Gila, the Indians under Geronimo and other chiefs were on the warpath and it was very unsafe. While on our way to the river. we were ordered back to Fort Apache under the pro- lection of government troops, and so escaped an attack by the Indians.
 I taught at the first district school in the Gila valley. I have in my possession the program of the first Fourth of July celebration held Tn the valley.

There were no events of especial interest in connection with my coming to Arizona, writes Frank H.
