Show Centennial (o minn)o)irDiiii Spirliipllle Music Levi Gregory Metcalf Jr. .Written by granddaughter, Utahna M. Metcalf Felix prior to 1946. Greg, as Levi Gregory Metcalf Jr. was called, was born with a great talent for music. His mother moth-er couldn't afford to give him lessons, but there wasn't an instrument that he couldn't play by ear. he played everything from a nail puller (what is a hail puller?) to a violin. When Greg was six, a man told him when he could play his accordion better than he could, he would give it to him. It wasn't long before Greg got the accordion. One day he heard a beautiful tune and went home to play it on the piano, but could only remember half of it. He went to bed and during the night dreamed that Henry Curtis (then dead) came in and said, "Here is the other part of the music you couldn't remember." He stood up and played it on his violin. The next morning Greg got up and played the entire song on the piano. He never forgot it again. A contest , was held to decide who could play the most instruments and he won the prize. He played the organ for Sunday School for many years. When Margaret, his wife, was President of the Primary, they couldn't find an organist, so he left his farm work and went with her to play the organ. He also played both the cornet and piano for dances, theaters, etc. for many years.

When he first settled in Spr-ingville, Spr-ingville, Magnus gathered willows, wil-lows, peeled and bleached them, then made them into baskets which he sold in Spanish Fork. In the winter, he worked in the timber on "Big Slide," southeast south-east of Mapleton. He would cut logs all day and then slide them down Maple slide on the snow. At night he would build a fire on top of the mountain so Ingre could watch for it and knew that he was safe. He would make a bed on a pile of pine boughs with a bonfire beside. Sometimes the snow would be eight feet deep. During the night the fire would melt the snow and he would wake in the morning to find himself down in a pit with snow walls. This kept the wind out so he slept warm and comfortable. When he came home, he would carry a log clear home on his shoulder, a distance of about five miles. He never thought of coming empty handed, even though he went right back with a wagon and ox team to haul the logs down to the Moses Childs' saw mill. This mill was just below the hill north of the Hyrum Clyde home. It was propelled by water power, and was also used as a molasses mill. No lead now There is no real lead ' in a pencil today. What we think of as lead is actually graphite and clay. No lead is in the paint either, as it is water-based. The nightingale builds its nest near the ground in thickets or hedges. North Dakota is often called the "Flickertail State," because of the many flickertail ground squirrels squir-rels that live in the central part of the state. ff August 14, 1996 - The Springville Herald - Page Nine Kelsey Wilson, daughter of Todd and Paula Wilson of Spanish Fork, turned one year old on July 6, 1996.
