Centenarian Julia Webster, who will celebrate her 100th birthday Aug. 12, was at a chamber luncheon Wednesday. Born in Belgium, Webster came to the , United States with her family when she was 15. Her life hasnt been an easy one she had to work hard instead of going to . school, she says. 1 worked for a doctor and his wife. I had to clean the floors of the ward on my hands and knees, They made me put hot coal oil in the water for cleaning, she explained. She moved to Kaysville when she and Wilford Webster were married in 1916 and has lived here since then. They lived on a farm in the west part of town. Thirty-on- e years ago she celebrated her birthday while visiting her native Belgium. y She was able to visit the old brick home she and her family left behind.

She was a member of the choir in her LDS Ward for 80 years. I went to choir practice every Thursday night as regular as clock work, she said. As an avid quilter, she has made or worked on numerous quilts for family and friends. She has made well over 200 quilts herself.

By MARGE SILVESTER Lakeside Review columnist When the first Mothers Day was celebrated May 10, 1908, my Lenorc, was 2. Another six years passed before mother-in-la- President Woodrow Wilson brought national recognition to the day when he signed a proclamation to offer a public expression of reverence for mothers. We went to church on Mother's Day, as we did every Sunday, she told me when I asked how the event was honored in her family. Mothers received : a flower and a card. We didnt have all the hoopla, and eating out like they do now." As our children were growing up, they looked forward to the family gathering at Grandmas on Mothers Day in Riverside, Utah. They would each choose a card for her, and a plant, which they insisted on holding on their laps as we drove. By the time we ar- rived, the plants would be in various states of collapse from the jostling they had received. But, no matter how much small gift-givin- g, 3 nMy r.lcmoricsis fingers had mangled them. Grandma always found a spot for them in her flower beds where they grew and blossomed. After a picnic lunch and horse rides with cousins, the children would eventually saunter over to Grandma and Grandpa to hear stories of their younger days. They would sit and listen intently, while munching on the latest batch of bar cookies or p cookies found in Grandmas cookie jar. Did you really pick apples for a dollar a day? they would ask. And, even though they had heard the talc before, they listened as if it were all new to them. Grandma would tell them how , gum-dro- she and Grandpa went to Idaho to find work. It was during the Depression. The country was in trouble and no one had much money. We felt lucky to get work, she explained as she told how they picked apples and she did the cooking as well. She regaled them with stories of shopping trips taken with her parents to Collinston. Travel by horse and wagon over dirt roads took the whole day. Imaginations soared and questions flew as she told of riding in n a sleigh over fences to school. We had heated bricks to help keep our feet warm and robes over us as well," she said. But even with all that, us girls about froze to death before we got to school. They heard how the weekly washing was done outdoors, with a sagebrush fire to keep the water in the tub hot while the clothes were scrubbed on a scrubbing board.

' This Mothers Day will be a very different one for our family. Lenore passed away recently and now we will build different memories. I think she voiced the thoughts and feelings of many mothers when she refused family members invitations for dinner at a nice restaurant. I cant think of a better way to spend Mothers Day than right here with family and friends; right here in my little home. sales For further information about the rummage sale, call or 825-472- 2 4.
