History of the Elmore County Red Cross

Idaho has a long roster of tough pioneers, but one of the toughest was �Pegleg� Annie Morrow, of Elmore County (pop 29,130). One winter day in 1896 while she was walking across Bald Mountain with her friend Dutch Em, a fierce blizzard blew up. When a search party found the pair, Morrow was half frozen and her friend was dead. A doctor amputated Morrow�s frozen feet. Morrow later became a mother and successful businesswoman. She died in 1934 and was buried in Boise�s Morris Hill Cemetery.
