SOCIETY By LOIS STEWART una Mollie Beldii Writes Own Story By NELLIE ROSE JONES Mrs. Fred Cofcr and other close friends of Mrs. Mollie Bcldlng are receiving complimentary copies of Mrs. Belding's autobiography, Just off the press, and published by The Ward Richie Press, Los Angeles, California. Only 200 copies have been printed. The book is entitled "Mollie Belding's Memory Book." Mrs. Belding taught in the Klamath Falls city schools nine teen and one half years, leaving here in 1938, being then in her 70th year. She was treasur er of Aloha chapter. Order of the Eastern Star, 13 years. She Is a past president of the Klamath Falls Library club, and was ac tive in the work of the Methodist church during the 20 years she lived in this city. Her present address Is Lorraine apartments, 430 Pacific avenue, Long Beach, California. In her introductory preface Mrs. Belding says, "My story will not be of any great histori cal value Just the life of one who lived and grew to woman hood on a farm in Illinois, then to Oregon for 50 years, where I went to school, taught three years, married, and after eight years of married life went back Into the schoolroom and taught until I resigned in 1938 to retire and spend the remainder of my days in southern California where my son is located." Don Bcldlng, her son, adds this: "She wrote, at 75, over 35,000 words in three months, all laboriously with pen and pencil. "Mother retired In name seven years ago but she never retired in spirit. Her story is the story of an ordinary member of the common people who fought the battle of life largely alone and won It." Don persuaded his mother to write her story, saying that he thought every person who had lived an interesting life should leave it behind in book form. Otherwise the story is lost for ever. Also, the chronicle of life in any given period is most clearly expressed in the biog raphies written during that time. Mrs. Belding was born August 23, 1869, in Mason county, 111., the daughter of William I. Dowel 1 and Lydia Summers Dowell. When she was three years old she was presented with a small china doll which, accord ing to tradition had been in the family for several generations. This "baby doll" has been with her all through the years, this and a blue pitcher, and they rest on a table as she writes her story. Her life on the Illinois farm, where she lived until she was 18 years old, was full of interesting episodes and plenty of hard work. She says, "I have had to work hard but life on a farm during one's youth is good condi tioning for the proper attitude toward work." Once on the farm some animal had crawled into the well and Mollie Dowell was lowered into the well to fill the buckets for the men on the surface to pull out. She was down there all day. There were no boys in the family. When she was 12 her father had to be gone because of illness. Mollie milked eight cows all winter, in addition to other chores. She had no boy friends during these 18 years be cause her father was very strict. At 19 she came to Oregon to be with relatives living in Union. This change was made for the benefit of her health. Later her father came to Grants Pass, (1888) and there she lived until 1919. There she had her first love affair, which gave her hap piness while it lasted; there she married a widower with two children, a mining man, who be came the father of Don, and after a few years walked out of their lives, without giving any notice, and never returned. Mrs. Belding taught in the Grants Pass schools for many years, rearing her son, taking an active part in civic and social af fairs, and living a life full of in teresting doings. She has the rare gift of knowing what to tell and how to tell it so that it holds the reader's interest from cover to cover. Her autobiography is most inspiring. Soroptimist The Soroptimist club met Thursday at its regular meet ing and was surprised by hear ing a real musical treat instead of a speaker. Buford Howard, now living in Klamath Falls and recently with the United States navy, favored the club with three vocal solos, "Danny Boy," "Old Folk Song" and "Thine Alone," by Victor Herbert, and "Old Man River," by Jerome Kern.
