With four children in tow, she taught for a year at Miocene, a rural community halfway between Harper's Camp and the
150 Mile. With her own children, the other seven pupils were made up of the Wiggins family and one or two of the
hired men. The schoolhouse at Miocene, an old log building across the road from the Wiggins house was hard to heat in
winter due to the high ceiling through which the heat escaped. Annie and the children lived in a sod roofed shanty close
to the schoolhouse where she and young Ida did their own cooking with groceries and supplies provided by Albert, who
visited them fairly frequently.
