Days life and that of her extended family in the early 1 900s. The candy mill was originally ordered for some family fun from Salt Lake Gty in 1910 by Days mother, Phoebe Rowley. It later made life financially a little easier for their family. As Day, who is nearly 90, looks back on her early years, she remembers her family lived in Mexico. The LDS townspeople of a small town in Gnhua-hu- a, Mexico, were involved in a Pioneer Day celebration on July 24, 1912 when Mexican outlaws rode into their midst, shooting. Day was 4 when the marauders tried to jump the claims of some of the Mormon homesteaders in the area. Fences were tom down and burned. Fighting ensued and the outlaws returned The famiwith lies had only two days to get everything in order before they had to leave their homes. Someone came from Juarez on Sunday during church and told us about the destruction there. The bishop told us to go home and be ready to leave by Tuesday. We packed two trunks. One was a big trunk and there was a little trunk. The horses and wagon were ready to go. Someone came up on a horse real quick and said we could only bring one trunk because there were so many people leaving and there wasnt enough room on the train. We took the little trunk. I guess I remember these things because they were so different than the everyday happenings, said Day. Only the essentials were taken with them. They had packed as if they were going camping but somehow the candy mill stayed in their possession. Other family treasures were buried and hidden, to be reclaimed once the scuffle was over. ' The women and children were sent to live in a temporary refugee camp in El Paso, Texas for what was supposed to be three weeks. Instead, because of the rampage of the outlaws, homes were destroyed and some people were killed. Days grandfather, Joshua Stevens, was one of the casualties, leaving his wife, Elizabeth, with 11 children including two married daughters. Phoebe was among the married children with her own young family. After much tribulation and destruction, the homes and property were destroyed and they couldnt return home. Eventually these families traveled by train to Holden, Utah where they had relatives living and were able to move into an old Relief Society building and call that home for a time. They were desperately poor. None of them had winter clothing. There was no work for the men in the fields since it was wintertime.

Pet of Week TIM SC HOONStandard-Examine- r The Davis County Sesquicentennial Committee asked Divina Snow, left, of Clearfield, and her daughter Ranee Peterson, of Washington Terrace, to make candy with the candy mill that Snows grandmother bought in 1 91 0. Helping them crank the hardtack candy is Snows grandson Brad Snow, 1 2, of Kaysville. The candy was sold at the Davis County Fair. SWEET BEGINNINGS: fish-shap- out around the community. The girls scrubbed floors and did laundry and other household chores. They cared for children and did whatever else they could find to do. Altogether, they made about a dollar a day. In the evenings the girls began making candy on the candy molds. They poured the hot liquid syrup into the metal mold which hardened into small fish shapes and round balls. As they turned the handle of the canister style mold, the candy would pop out. Somehow permission was granted to sell the candy and popcorn balls at weekend dances and soon the family found could make $5 a day selling candy. It sure beat washing clothes on a wash board. It was not near as much work and a lot more fun, said Day. She thinks her aunts continued to supplement their income with the harder work during the day. Coming from Mexico where the temperature is considerably warmer than Utah during the winters, the woman remembers they didnt have any winter clothes and this money helped them greatly. I had never seen snow. It was like big white feathers coming down all over. I remember sleigh riding and laying on my back in the snow and making angels, reminisces Day. In later times, the candy mill came in handy again as her parents moved to Silver City, Nev., where her father found work in the mines. Unfortunately, a mining accident soon took her fathers life. We didnt have transportation to take him to a doctor because we had left our horse and buggy in Mexico. We took him over to Provo on a train. He had pneumonia and only lived a few days, leaving my mother with five children. He left a $1,000 insurance policy which helped for a while.
