The wife, Sarah's mother, however, became be-came ill and died even after the money was already in England. In the meantime Sarah had been going to school, attending what was called infant's school at the age of five and later attending the standard school until she was 14 years old. She recalls that most of the schools were operated in England at that' time by church organizations. At the age of 14 she had completed com-pleted her schooling and began work as a reeler in a cotton factory. fac-tory.

She accompanied accom-panied him to Fairview, Sanpete county, to live with her Grandmother Grand-mother Briggs. Her father's people had come to America before her father.

Mrs. Loynd recalls in England, on Christmas eve, the children hung up their stockings but received re-ceived few if any toys. Mostly the stockings were filled with nuts, candy and fruit of various kinds. She recalls having lots of fun caroling. During the summer time celebrations cele-brations similar to our carnivals, which were called wakes in England, Eng-land, corresponded to Christmas here so far as gifts were concerned, con-cerned, as each child usually received re-ceived a gift. Mrs. Loynd's husband, Joseph, was the first bishop of the Fourth LDS ward in Springville and he was active in city affairs as well as church. She has always been a faithful member of the LDS Church, serving in various capacities. capaci-ties. For 48 years she served as a Relief Society teacher.
