p4g, 6 SOUTH EAST INDEPENDENT Sugar House, Utah Ttunday August 15, 1957 Sugar House PioneerLady To Be Feted Sat I land, tiny Alice crossed thei plains at the age of two, in a covered wagon. She was the dau-ghter af David and Susannah Manning Norris. The family settled in a dugout home in the 11th Ward. The modern street named Norris Place at 11th E, between 2nd and 3rd South, was named after the family. When Alice was nine years old, she was allowed to stay for three years with an aunt who lived up near the woolen mills which were east of the old prison site. Even at 93, Mrs. Sears has a razor-shar- p memory and recalls doing her sums in the first school in Sugar House, near the present site of Irving Junior High Sshool. She also remembers that in 1873 the "business" corner of Sugar House consisted of a drugstore, one other store, and the old sugar house, which was used to manufacture so many different types of items through the years. She was married to Issac Sears on Valentine's Day, 1889 in the Endowment House. The couple had five children. On the 4th of July, 1894; she and her husband came out to Sugar House to drive the stakes for their own home. They moved into the brick" residence that September,' and Mrs. Sears has lived there for the past 63 years. Mrs. Sears has always enjoyed gardening, but has not felt "up to" much more than pulling a few weeds the past two years. This lovely white-haire- d woman maintains an eager interest in world affairs. Her eyesight has failed to the point that she cannot read the newspepers nor watch television, but she listens avidly to the radio newscasts. She can still see well enough to recognize all her 10 grand-children, 24 great grandchildren, and of course knows them all (Continued on Page 7) - : ;' y ' 1 ' ' ' . - 7 1 . , ; ) " v . . - .",v;-r."--- ; j , - i r i - S - ., K ' - , i v j i ' ' "I ' ' ' f r ' ; - ,'v '! i . i Mrs. Alice N.
