Her father pointed to her and said, She is my oldest girl, She went to she could do it. Salina with this man and started to work and she was only 11 years old at that time. This was called the Occidental Hotel, and it was where the Charles Larsen home is now. Her job consisted of washing dishes and cleaning rooms and she received 50? a week and her room and board. That is a far cry from wages today and what girls these days could do a job such as this? eleven-- year-old The hotel changed hands and the new owner was Mrs. Little. She said she would like my grandmother to work for her. Grandmother was then asked about school and she told Mrs. Little there wasnt time, but she said she would arrange the work so my grandmother could go. The school was where the Church Welfare house now stands. In addition to working at the hotel, my grandmother lived with families who had new babies. She was staying with the George Long family and on her 16th birthday, Emery Long was born. For many years, they never forgot each other's birthdays and exchanged birthday greet- ings. Two years later, she went to work on the Simper Ranch in Salina Canyon. Her jobs there were milking cows night and morning, cleaning house and cooking for the hay crew. Tom Simper, the owner, was very good to my grandmother, but she relates that one day she got spunky and came back to Salina. In a few days, Mr. Simper rode up to where she was staying and called her over to his buggy and told her he wanted her to come back up to the ranch and work for him. My grandmother told him she would not come back for less than $1.50 per week. He said, Climb in. Gram has known much sorrow In her life. The first great tragedy that came to her was when she was 13 years of age. Her father had to go to Provo on business. He and a friend were walking down the railroad tracks and he was struck by a train. It amputated both legs and he died from the loss of blood. Some men brought the news to Gooseberry and grandmother said she will never for- get that December morning when her mother loaded all of the kids in the wagon and her oldest brother, Don, drove the :eam of horses to Spring City where her father was burled.

Steven Allred came across the plains from Iowa with four brothers. Brigham Young sent them to Sanpete County to settle1 the area. This community was known as Allred for many years, but later changed to Spring City, named for the natural mountain spring that emerged from the center of town. Steven Allred was my greatgrandfather and Bena Peterson Allred was my To this union was born my grandmother, Anna Bell Allred Sorenson on March 31, 1877, in Spring City. When my grandmother was only one year old, her family moved to the Simper Ranch in Salina Canyon and later homesteaded the area South, which became known as Gooseberry. At the age of eight, she was sent to Levan to live with her Grandpa and Grandma Peterson and attended school for two years.

Her older brothers stayed on the ranch and she worked for and lived with different families around town. She never Uved at home again after her father was killed. My grandmother was a very ambitious girl and this trait followed her to womanhood. She worked hard and by the time she was 19 years old, she had saved enough money to buy a new hat and a pair of shoes so she and James Sorenson went to Richfield and were married. They rented a small log cabin where LaVon Christensen lives now, but after a couple years, it was sold and they had to leave it, so they moved in a cabin that was where the Dr. Noyes home is now. Their first child, Louise was born there. My grandfather went up on the mountain, stayed and worked until he had enough building material for their family home. This is the MaxSorensonhome. In their early years of marriage, my grandfather hauled wood and sold it around town. He then went to work for Mr. Edwards in the saloon and pool hall. During these years, my grandmother had eight cows and she relates that with her milking and the children the milk, they got along fine. Prohibition closed the saloon but the pool hall was left open. Eventually, my grandparents bought Mr. Edwards business and when World War I started they got rid of all the pool tables and started a Confectionary and Grocery Store. Grandmother sold aU of the dairy cows and joined her husband in the store and with the help of their children, they operated their business until the death of my grandfather in 1930. After closing the store, and after many years of being so active, it was impossible for my grandmother to live inactively. She busined herself in many ways. She never missed visiting her mother, at least once a day, she did her shopping and helped with the housework. She had always been so good to visit and people who were shut-ifamilies who were ill. When her brother, Hugh, became iH and could no longer take care of his sheep, she fed and watered them each day. Gram has always been kind to ns concerned about them, always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. When her uncle died in Elsinore, he left his widow in her late 80s, with no children or anyone to care for her. My good hearted and unselfish grandmother left her home and went to Elsinore and took care of her for two years. Aunt Mary Louise then sold her home and moved to Salina and bought a home. My grandmother still loved and cared for her until Valdo D.
