Call Number
OH1753-V
Date

Description
Janice Wheeler's house in Sunshine Canyon burned to the ground during the Fourmile Canyon Fire of September 2010 - a house that her father, Harry Covey, built around the structure of the original Sunshine jail. Her interview contains rich descriptions of Sunshine and history of the Covery and Wheeler families, the fire itself, in terms of its effect on individuals and on the community of Sunshine, and of the aftermath of the fire. She tells tales of her childhood, such as how Forrest Jones would lead her and her friends on walks through the mountains from Sunshine to Salina for Vacation Bible School. She also tells of watching her musician son, Nathan, sift through the ash of their burned home for items to use to create a musical composition about the fire (see OH 1765-V for an interview with Nathan Wheeler).
