I was very interested to find this story--Camilla Jacobsen Corbett was my great-great grandmother--her daughter Sophia Elnora Corbett Mathisen was my great grandmother and we had little information on Camilla. Sophia and her husband Andrew Keyford Mathisen settled at Lander, Wyoming in 1902. As Sophia had more children she would return to Kamas each year for her mother to deliver them until Camilla's death in 1908.
