Susie Bearskin was a loving wife and mother of six children.  Also gifted in artwork, she would sit crocheting hats, purses and could sew clothing for the entire family.  I never heard her speak ill of anyone and her touch was healing to my young soul.
Also known as a rockhound he frequently walked the land and hills looking for flint, obsidian or other stones and rocks.  He also shared a love of guns and antiquities that could be found at gun shows or trading posts.  An avid trader, he was able to bring home rare or unsual artifacts.
