Fredrick Weight was born June 18, 1828 in Gloustershire, Stroud, England. He was a lover of music throughout his life. When he was a small boy he realized he had the rare gift of singing notes in true pitch. This gift enabled him to tune all the instruments he made. When he was three years old, he played tunes on the old wooden wood-en flute, which is considered to be about 250 years old. It is on exhibition in the Springville DUP Museum. - - He would work 10 hours every day except Sunday and . practiced his music lessons from two to three hours. He arose at four in the morning, to practice also used part of his noon hour' and evenings. Fredrick wrote in his diary, "I walked, carrying my cello under my arm, four miles to and from my music lessons twice a week, after working 10 hours a day in an iron factory. " He gave up his factory earnings to his mother to help die family. He sang and played hymns with his brothers in a Latter-day Saint Conference. This was the beginning of his conversion to the church. He was appointed, after joining the church, to take charge of the singing as long as he remained re-mained in England. Fredrick worked in a factory and learned to make all kinds of machinery. He used a large planing machine, thereby giving him the experience, knowledge and skill to build ornate organs, violins, base fiddler and other musical instruments. He made his own glue and chose special wood to make his instruments. He used horse hair for the bows to play his string instruments. , .:.5 ... , 'J' He sailed to America with his new bride on a sailing vessel named North Atlantic - a voyage of three months. He made an exact replica of the North Atlan-tic Atlan-tic vessel which is displayed in the Springville DUP Museum. Mapleton planners finalize boundaries by Laurel Brady Mapleton' s Planning Commission Commis-sion will recommend the city council adopt a final definition of the boundary of the CE-1 (critical environment) zone on the city's east side. Although not done for its benefit, the boundary designation designa-tion will allow Henrichsen, Inc., a development company, to de- -cide if they want to proceed with a large subdivision on the city's east side, or if the project is no longer financially possible. The commission will recommend recom-mend the line be established 450 feet west of the toe of the slope of the Bonneville Bench, and alscr including other areas as designated designat-ed by the city. The line will be recorded three ways to prevent further mis-communication-it will be shown on the city map, it will be verbally described in city ordinances, and will also be established by a meets and bounds description based on a " survey. The commission was shown a map thought to have originated in about 1980 which points out ' many known fault lines and ruptures. They were told the' previous description was unclear and not legally defensible, necessitating neces-sitating a new and exact determination. determi-nation. The problem came to ' light when Henrichsen, Ind. attempted to discover how the boundary impacted its proposed development and was unable to do so because of the ambiguities. . Commission Chairman Win Broadhurst emphasized the commission com-mission could not take Henrichsen' Henrich-sen' s proposal into consideration in establishment of the line and the action was not taken solely because of the Henrichsen development. devel-opment. "That property is not a consideration in this matter. This is being done for the city." The CE-1 Zone was established estab-lished to protect the area at the base of the hillside and set strict., standards for any development there. It was based on engineering engineer-ing studies of earthquake and other hazards, and with an eye toward preservation of the view-shed view-shed for all citizens. . Butterflies and locusts can fly continuously for well over 100 miles on the food energy stored in their bodies. After Fredrick came to America, Amer-ica, he was asked to organize a church choir. The choir sang in their meetings at St. Louis Missouri Mis-souri for two years. He enjoyed dancing the cotillion and other dances at socials. He wrote in his diary, "I also joined the old Nauvoo Brass Band, playing the solo Ophicleide horn and trained once a year with the Nauvoo Legion." He played his cello in the famous Ballou's Pioneer Orchestra. As the pioneers formed com panies to travel to Utah, he joined Captain Howell's Company. Compa-ny. Driving a team of oxen, Fredrick walked all the way, arriving in the Salt Lake Valley on September 15, 1852. He moved to Springville in 1856. He purchased a seven-acre lot, 480 S. 1300 East, and built a home. He composed a song entitled "Home In Utah" which he published pub-lished in the Juvenile Instructor, January 1, 1885. It is a tribute in song of gratitude and love that he had for his home in Utah. He loved to sing it and play it on his homemade organ. His descendants descen-dants enjoyed singing his beautiful beauti-ful songs at their reunions. In 1893, Fredrick made a dulcimer and a cello for his two young sons to play at public dances. His two brothers played the large string bass and a violin and piccolo pic-colo in the Weight brothers Orchestra. Or-chestra. They also played in the Springville Brass Band. While living in Utah, Fredrick made many musical instruments -three organs, four violins, one guitar and a case for it, one string bass, one cello and two dulcimers. He also made beautiful beauti-ful furniture. Quoting from the biography of Mae W. Johnson, a granddaughter, grand-daughter, "Fredrick was organist and choir leader in Springville , for more than 45 years." Every man hath some gift from God - Fredrick's gift was music.
