This ox yoke and cradle belonged to the Cox Brothers, Edward, Jacob and Binn and for many years was mounted on a high pole by the residence resi-dence of Binn Cox, near the Rio Grande Western railroad. It could be seen by all travelers and passers- by, who commented on the novelty of it. Finally the pole upon which they were mounted rotted and was blown down. The pole was replaced several times by Binn Cox, but the yoke and cradle was somewhat damaged each time and later they were abandoned. James H. Gardner, who is very interested in preserving old time relics of our city and keeping a record of the history of our community, com-munity, paid a visit to the owner of these old time relics and was given permission to have them preserved pre-served as relics. ' Mr. Gardner took them to R. J. Whipple, who .repaired, reconditioned recondition-ed and painted them, making them worthwhile relics. . ' They were then given to the city and will be placed in the memorial building for safekeeping, where citizens may view them and thus re-live Lehi's early days. They are stm the property of the Cox family. The yoke was made and used by Daniel Cox, one of Lehi's first set tlers. He came with his family to Lehi in 1850. The yoke was used by members' of the Cox family until the horse came into us. The old cradle was freighted across the plains by ox. teams, by Abram Hatch, another of Lehi's early settlers and was sold to JacoD Cox for ten bushels of wheat. Wheat at that time was worth about $5.00 per bushel. This cradle was considered con-sidered at one time the best cradle in Thi and was used extensively for years in gathering Lehi's harvests. Mr. Gardner deserves unlimited credit for his'great interest in community com-munity enterprises. The preserving of old landmarks and keeping alive the early days in Lehi are very important, im-portant, as the time is quickly supping sup-ping by, and shortly records will be the only thing to tell the story of early life in Lehi. To keep alive the spirit of the early settlers and their woirk in building our community commu-nity is a very important thing. Mr. Gardner feels that we should have a real place for our relics. A relic house of some nature snouia De aetoMfehPri. where these early day relics can be placed and preserved as a monument and history. Some of the things that should be niarPd in this relic house as the old curfew bell, the old bell taken from the school house, which is now me property of Miss Blanche Larsen onrt a number of other important things that can be gathered together.

Biographical Sketch Mary Jane ' Kirkham, affectionately affection-ately pown to many as "Aunt May," was born July 9, 1867 in Salt Lake City, Utah, the daughter of Samuell Job and Ada Lucy Steel Stoddart. Her early childhood was spent in Salt Lake City and York, Utah. Later the family moved to Provo, where they remained . for several years. Leaving Provo the family moved to Lehi, where her stepfather, step-father, Robert Stoddart, was employed em-ployed as manager of the boarding house at the sugar factory. May, however, remained in Provo where she had employment, until the death of Mr. Stoddart which took place in Lehi at which time she came to Lehi to assist her mother in the management of the Union Hotel. Early In her life, Sister May learned the beauty and value of service to others, and her entire life was filled with love and devotion devo-tion to her mother, sisters and brother and later to her husband. She lived with her family in the Union Hotel until her marriage to Joseph Kirkham in the Salt Lake temple on November 15, 1905. After her marriage she lived in the Lehi First ward until the division of this ward, when she became a member of the Lehi Fifth ward. She was active in the Relief society organization organ-ization in both wards. She was a visiting teacher as long as . her health would permit and was ever ready to assist those in need of her services or her means. She was expert in the art of cooking and for many years assisted the ward and the Relief society organization when dinners were given to raise funds for various purposes. As long as she was able she continued this activity. Sister May had a strong, unwavering testimony of the gospel. She was a member of the Snow Springs Camp of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers. The past several years of her mother's life was spent in Sister Kirkham's home, where she was lovingly cared for as only a devoted de-voted daughter could care for her mother. A deep love between May and her husband has characterized her married life. This love expressed ex-pressed itself in untiring and uncomplaining un-complaining service to him during his recent illness. After a lingering Illness, Sister Kirkham passed away at her home in Lehi, Utah, Sunday, March 16, 1941. She is survived by her husband hus-band and the following sisters and brother: Mrs. Birdie S.

AUrecL Board Of Health Calls For Cleanup Of Premises In line with the general spirit of cleaning and beautification of our city we want to make an appeal to all citizens in respect to sanitation. sanita-tion. It doesn't make sense to attempt at-tempt to beautify the surroundings of a home and at the same time have a stink coming from the back yard or from your neighbor's yard which nauseates one every breath he takes. Neither do we want any more breeding places for flies and insects than we must have. There are far too many such places in our community. Even though we may feel that our back yard is our private pri-vate property and we may do with it as we please yet we owe a certain cer-tain amount' of consideration to our neighbor if not to ourselves, and we do have sanitation ordinances which we may fall back on. Every individual knows whether or not his place is what it should be. He should assume the initiative and take care of it if it is not. As the City Board of Health we want to cooperate with the other agencies in cleaning and beautifying beautify-ing our town and seeing that the sanitation is just as good as it can be under prevailing circumstances. We will make a thorough check-up a little later and every unsanitary condition that is not being remedied will be taken up with the individ ual. Let us not be forced to do what our conscience tells us we should do. ' City Board of Health.
