Part III of an audio recording of the personal biography of Harold Evans Baker born 20 April 1896, Franklin, Idaho. Based on a document compiled and typewritten by his daughter, Marva May Baker, born 7 May 1932. Voiced by his grandson (and Marva’s son) Kirk E Strickland.

Covering the years 1923 thru 1925, Harold recounts the birth of two of his sons: Gilbert Baker, apparently born earlier than expected and very small in size; and Evans Baker who lived long enough to experience but "three gasps for breath" before dying tragically. He experiences more grief as his beloved and beautiful mother, Lucy Evans, contracts a malicious, deforming cancer and suffers physical abuse from her husband and Harold's father, Benjamin Charles Baker. Her cancer, however, is healed through miraculous and strange means that Harold describes in vivid detail. During this period, he also experiences much joy in child rearing and in work as he labors in the sugar factory and on the ranch as he somewhat reluctantly moves his family back on the ranch at his father's urging.

Harold relates his happy experience as a newlywed, prosperous farmer, and new father as his wife, Alice Gilbert, gives birth to three of his children: a "robust" son, Orlin Harold Baker; another son, Donald Gilbert Baker; and a longed-for daughter, Melva Baker. Some of these births occur when his wife, Alice, and mother, Lucy Evans, quarrel for reasons he never comes to understand. He recounts working joyfully with his younger brother, John Reynold "Reynie" Baker and under a sharecropping arrangement with his father, Benjamin Charles Baker. After a period of prosperity, he cites disappointments and setbacks as farm commodity markets take a downturn forcing him to sell crops at a loss and divest of accumulated property including a home he built in Fairview, Idaho.
