PIONEER DAYS RECALLED FROM PAGE ONE soap and butter for market, made candles, our own pickles of various kinds and also our own mincemeat. All families raised chickens, ducks, etc. Mrs. Rockwood must have done her part in the ward as well as rearing a large family, for we hear of her singing in the choir for 18 years, serving as Relief Society secretary 21 years, and being a stake board member for 11 years. She recalls the entertainment they had in those days: We got up three plays and gave the money to the M.I.A. tq get the first books they had in their library. Those who helped were B. H. Roberts, Aaron Porter, Charles Rockwood, N. T. Porter, Jr., Hyrum Parrish and one more young man I cant remember his name but he married a Walton girl. (Editors note: Whozit ? ) The ladies were Viola Chase, Alice Chase and myself and several more whose names I cant remember. B. H. Roberts was the leading man. I was the leading lady. We had lots of fun. There was not much amusement in those days. We used to meet at one anothers homes, talk and laugh, sing, recite, have a light lunch and then disperse. Our biggest time of the year was our ward reunion, then a dance at night. We sent the money made to the missionaries. We were all so happy in doing our part and helping, also watching the town we loved grow up. Mrs. Rockwood thanks us for the Newsette and wishes us all the luck in the world. She closes with her own little original verse to Centerville: Dear Centerville, I love you For your mountains and the sunset on the lake, And for the peaceful valley that no other place can take; For the friends I used to have there, And for their kind deeds of love, They will never be forgotten, Lets hope we all will meet above. |
