YOUR NEIGHBOR
...AND MINE
By Joan Hanson
A bit of an old English garden
has quietly flourished in the
valley for almost 40 years. It is
now complete with paths winding
among giant pansy beds and
bordered with delphiniums, roses, j
currant and gooseberry bushes.;
At one end is an outdoor fire
place and plans are being made ;
to terrace a hillside. Here also j
may be found some of the few
fruit trees of the valley. Seeds
of apple, cherry, apricot, peach, j
plum, and pear planted 25 years
ago have grown to maturity and ;
the apple and cherry trees are:
bearing fruit.
The gardener, Mrs. Fannie
Werner, is as charming as the:
plants she tends. She is a tiny,1
merry Englishwoman from Hud
dersfield, just east of the Lake
Country, who would seem per
fectly at home bustling about the
hearth tending a steaming tea
kettle.
Yet she certainly is not an in
door person. For the past 12
years, since the death of her
husband, she has managed their
dairy farm practically alone. She
milks the 10 cows and does most
of the other work with the excep
tion of planting and harvesting
crops.
Mrs. Werner has one of the
greenest thumbs going, and has '
a Burbank-like enthusiasm for
experimentation. At present she
is attempting to cross delphinium
with fireweed to develop a new
color. Yet she scoffs at using her
talent professionally. “It’s the
watching for a new leaf or a bud,
the sharing of a new plant with
a neighbor, that is the fun of it
all ’, she said.
Our plant wizard has had a j
colorful and experience-filled
past. Born in Newcastle England
on the edge of the Moors, she
came to join her mother in Anch
orage in 1914. One of her favor
ite memoies is of her first plane
ride in 1929. It u'as an open plane
which bobbed and dipped, provid
ing more thrills than a roller1
coaster. “I thought it was all just
fine,” she laughed. Subsequent
plane rides proved too tame in \
comparison.
Shortly after her arrival the
then Miss Eaton met her future
husband through her mother.
“Most folks thought we’d never
get along because he spoke
German, and I English’’ she re
members. But in spite of inter
national differences they did and
were married that August.
The wedding day was quite
eventful. With the usual flurry
the hour approached. No groom
appeared. The hour came and
went. No groom. “It never oc
cured to me he wouldn’t come,
but friends insisted on going to
look for him,” Mrs. Werner said.'
They found him wandering
about the street trying to find
the house he was to be married
in. “We’d all forgoten to tell
him!” she chuckled. Furthermore
he had stopped at the dentist for
a check-up since he didn’t get to
Anchorage often and the dentist
insisted on pulling some of his
teeth. The groom was rushed in
side without time to change
clothes and the couple had a
double wedding with the bride’s
mother.
When she moved to the valley
in 1914 there were only 54 set
tlers here. Six were women. “I
used to have a bachelor’s din
ner every Christmas night with
20 or so guests”, she said.
Her husband, Adam, was a
stone mason turned farmer who
came to the States from Austria
when he was sixteen. He had an
interest in plants equal to his,
wife’s. He built their homey log
house 37 years ago, carrying the
keg of nails for it from Knik, a
distance of 31 miles. When he
ordered windows from Montgom
ery Ward they answered that
they couldn’t ship such things to
foreign countries.
Life then and now has seldom
been easy for Mrs. Werner. But
she can generally laugh qt her
self and her poblems and say
“Now am 1 being a sour apple or
a sweet one?” Collecting china
is another of her interests and
her cupboard is well filled. Some
of the pieces are 150 years old
This love she acquired from her
birthplace, which was in a china
making region. She is also an
active member of the Church of
God.
Three daughters, Violet, Hazel,
and Faye, two sons-in-law, and
three grandchildren constitue
Mrs. Werner’s family. She has
also provided a home for three
teen-aged boys. Two of her
daughters are still in the valley
and the third is planning to re
turn.
As her many friends will agree,
one can not help feeling a mix
ture of envy and affection for
this farmer-gentlewoman who
through the years has kept an
abundance of wit and faith in
living. Her keen, merry eyes
seem to say to you “I like you
because you’re a human being.
And I like people.”
