Anita (Mott) Weddle. Anita was the daughter of D. Wilfred and Alta Howell Mott. She grew up in Colorado and Kansas, the family settling last in Shallow Water, Kansas. Anita graduated from high school, valedictorian of her class, then attended Nebraska Central College for two years. Lacking the money to complete her education, she worked in several fascinating jobs. These included being a school bookmobile driver in the Kentucky mountains, working in the weather service during the war years, on air bases in Colorado and South Dakota, and teaching a Nevada country school which had a number of Indian students. She completed her college work by graduating from Earlham College in 1950 with honors in English. Her next work was teaching kindergarten classes in Elko, Nevada.
     It was on her way to Nevada that she met Charles Weddle. They were soon married and started their life together in Paonia, Colorado.
     Throughout her adult life Anita was active in both politics and church life. Although she was a Quaker all her life, she raised her family in the Methodist Church because there was no Meeting in the area. As organist for the choir, head of various women's groups, and Sunday School teacher, the only way one knew she wasn't really a Methodist was by her abstention from taking Communion. Nonetheless, she maintained her membership in the Central City Friends Meeting and never let her children pass the day without a Quaker lesson or two. She loved to write and was always busy composing poems, short stories and great family letters.
