Resident Recalls Swimming In Spring Lake in Childhood LeFevre emotions have been stirred more than I like to admit because of current events. High mounds of dirt are hiding one of the spots that has been a thing of beauty in my life. Only a little trickling stream of water, practically hidden from sight, is left of the lake where 1 swam when I was a By Anna M. My tiny tot. Long ago the old adobe brick home, where I was born, was abandoned, and the brick walls were allowed to crumble into decay and finally be plowed back into mother earth. I cannot remember the bouse but I have been told about it. It was built with two huge doors forming the north sliding wall. The house was tall and thin because the builders planned to add to it on the north. The cold north winds blew. The land was too damp. It was not a healthful place to live. The soil was valuable. The young couple, who purchased the house and approximately two acres of ground bought a dry rocky hill about two blocks away, and built a five room cement block home. In those days basements were not used as they are today so only one underground room with cement floor and walls became a part of the new home. My father and mother with three daughters moved into the new home before my oldest brother was born. One of my oldest, horrible memories came when word was received that the open air dance hall built over the lake was on fire. Looking out our windows we could see the blaze and tiie Our parents were very understanding about this recreation, as we grew up and our bedroom at home became a dressing room for us and our friends on Sat. afternoon or early evening. Once a week was as often as our parents felt that we should swim. We were limited to one hour of swim time. We had to go before the evening meal because of good health practices taught in our home. For some time, in very recent years, the water in the lake was not lit for swimming. The trash fish were poisoned. The seaweed grew. It became typical of the other fresh water lakes near civilization. The water became so polluted that government agencies were notified. Payson City officials had the lake drained. Ditches were constructed to carry the water down through the low areas to the people who own the water right for irrigation purposes. Many people are effected by Mina Spainhower home in 1957. what has been done to the spot which early Payson settlers made into a lake, it spoils the beauty of a little community. It effects the memories of the people who swam and fished in the lake and those who skated or cut ice blocks out of the frozen water. Most of all it effects the civic pride of all who ever lived or visited in our small town. History is being written as the is restored. Im pleasantly anticipating a tranquil moment that I might pause to gaze again on the beautiful shimmering water that is stored in Spring Lake. More Spring Lake town history is wanted. Pictures are needed. Civic history is especially needed. No record can be found of political party chairman and committees. If there is any record of who has been Justice of the Peace and Con QlfQ0 QdQDGDDD Has now been torn down stable in Spring Lake, county records do not contain them.
