Show Do You Remember? ... By MAUDE H. BENEDICT Remembering today the Sam and Almina Bramwell family. Beautiful and lovely Nina, now Mrs. Guy Mendenhall; jolly, fun-loving fun-loving Emma Bramwell; and curly-haired curly-haired Bill Bramwell. An outstanding outstand-ing family for its healthy and optimistic op-timistic outlook on life generally. Almina, we recall, always had a cheerful greeting for every little child she met; she loved to joke with them, and her personality radiated cheer to all who knew her. We recall many house parties, par-ties, where she was a guest, that were always made lively and interesting in-teresting by her charming conversational conver-sational powers. It has been said that after the death of her husband, she was never the light-hearted person she used to be. Which is proof that some of the trials we must endure en-dure change our entire lives and sometimes the very nature of us. Remembering Lila Mower, too, who used to stop us children to ask so kindly how our mothers were she had the kindest eyes and manners. We recall Orsen Mower aind Oscar Mower, who were school board trustees the talks they sometimes gave at "devotional" "de-votional" exercises. And of Harry Reynolds, not known very well to us, but we used to wonder what kind of food his parents fed him he looked just too healthy to be real! He was always good looking and good natured; had a complexion that any girl might envy. Now, remember, remem-ber, Mr. Reynolds, this "do you remember" column is of people as we used to "size them up." 1 So, if any of you of whom we write have turned out to be famous or notorious, no-torious, it was after we knew you! Looking back, so many familiar faces loom up in memory, it makes us wonder where all the in-between years have gone. Downtown this afternoon, whom should we meet on their way to a show (I bet you) but Dr. and Mrs. Nephi Packard. They were so happy in expression, that it seemed seem-ed as if a ray of runshine warmed the day, which had been grey and gloomy. If ever a couple grew old gracefully, Dr. and Mrs. Packard are that couple! We feel certain that they have many joyous memories mem-ories of their life together trials, too, of course, but they've had the courage to face them. They have raised an honorable and distinguished distin-guished family, as you all know. News of the death of Clint Men-ary Men-ary coming through the Herald last week was a shock to one who used to know him as a schoolmate. We extend deepest sympathy to his mother, Mrs. Menary, and the tains, beautiful any season of the year. On one of those mountain sides we picked out in childhood a huge bear's head, so definite that it is a wonder no one else has i seen it. We have attempted to point it out to many people but no one can find it. On entering Springville, the first thing we look for is the bear's head on the mountain side. It has never changed the least bit through the years. Do any of us see the beauty of our own scenery until we have left it for awhile? Do any of us take time to gaze at the moun-. moun-. tains, to gain courage and strength from them or are they taken for granted as so many other f ami- family. We recall other schoolmates, some of whom have passed beyond. be-yond. These include: Reah Mason, Oma Johnson and Ann Crandall. Others, still living we hope, were Ercell Clark, Willie Clark, Rolla Hall, Paul Crandall, Alfred and Albert Thorpe. Do you remember Levi Thorpe, who always wore a flower in the lapel of his coat? He had a clean shining quality always, and he and his wife were the happy couple, always together and always of cheerful countenance. Springville home town of mine how the heart tugs back to you, at times! Your majestic moun- , liar things we have to bless our lives are taken? Gives pause for thought, doesn't it ? We should look about us, or 'round us which reminds re-minds us of a story: At a dinner table one evening, an American asked an Englishman: English-man: "How does a ball look when it falls to the ground?" The Englishman Eng-lishman could not guess. So the American told him, "It looks round!" The Englishman decided to ask this question of one of his English friends, so he said: "I say, old top, 'ow does a ball look when it falls to the ground?" The friend could not guess, so the Englishman said: "Ha! ha! I knew you'd never guess it! Why it looks about!" Do you remember? |
