It waits for sunshine all alone like me. I wait for final note that will be sung in this, a place where swallows will not fly but drop from empty white as frozen stones to crackle as they hit the earth. Their bones that pop are breaking quickly, as am I. I feel the whitened air upon my tongue and stare at empty sky to hear my plea. A ball of orange glares, becomes a sigh which sings anew in hopefilled, muted tones. By Bonnie H. Behunin DUP study locality histories The Camp Thornburg Daughters of the Utah Pioneers met Nov. 14 at the home of Vergea Adams. Lucille Rich offered the invocation. Betty T. Bowden led the pledge of allegiance. The congregation sang, "In the Gloaming." Captain Betty T. Bowden announced that Edna A. Anderson will be the new chaplain. She gave a report on the recent DUP convention held in Duchesne. The next meeting will be the Christmas meeting and it will be held at the home of Betty Bowden Dec. 12 at 2 p.m. Plans for that meeting were discussed. The pioneer history was given by Vergea Adams on a brother to her great grandfather, Michael Webster Molen. He was born Jan. 15, 1842, the ninth child in a family of thirteen. He lived first in Bureau County, 111. and then at Camp Creek, Hancock County. After much persecution because of the religious faith they fled to Nauvoo. Here they were driven from their homes again and found shelter with the Indians of Oskaloosa, Iowa. In the spring they moved to Winter Quarters. The family arrived in the Salt Lake Valley in October, 1847. Michael's father and then mother died within a few years and so he then lived with an aunt Huffaker. She was unable to care for him for very long so he then lived with a brother-in-law in Lehi. . When he grew up he worked with cattle on many occasions, and was involved in-volved in several incidents with the Indians. In-dians. He always told of one incident when he chased a band of Indians several miles, and after pausing he would always add, "but they never did catch me." His cattle interest grew and he engaged in this in Emery County, Mapleton, and then in Montana. There he died in 1925. The lesson was given by Vergea Adams on locality histories. She told of the settlements of the Mormons and that it was not at all haphazard. These settlements followed a plan. She told of the settlement of Tropic,' Utah near Bryce Canyon. It was called call-ed an oasis in the desert and a little piece of heaven by those who lived there. Zane Grey wrote a part of his "Riders of the Purple Sage" in Tropic and the old time cowboy, Tom Mix, made movies nearby. In the beginning, settlement was very difficult because of the absence of water. Andrew Hansen organized a water company in 1889. It took many years of labor to finally get water to the town and when they did, a big celebration was held and they danced all night.
