Joseph enjoyed blacksmithing which included shoeing of oxen, making all of their shoes and nails, making wagon works and general blacksmithing. He took the greatest pride in all he did. After having his leg amputated, amputat-ed, he returned to the blacksmithing blacksmith-ing where he worked on just one leg. He also worked at jobs which included the unloading of sugar beets out of cars for the sugar company. He also worked away from home doing blacksmithing black-smithing for construction companies. compa-nies. Cording Inc. John and Mary Ann Lucas Armstrong Written by ellen T. Crandall. After coming to Springville, John sent money back and bought a wool carding machine. He told Emery Hill he would buy it if he would help him run it because John did not know anything about it. They built a building on what is now known as Buckley Ave. on land one time owned by Mrs. Georgia Sanford Wood. They got the logs from the canyon and had them made into logs, the nails cost $1 a pound. They found out later that Bishop Aaron Johnson got them for 50C a pound. They got the building up by fall and were so busy they fastened lamps on the side walls and worked at night. The women would bring the wool in sheets, have it carded, then take it home to spin and weave into cloth. Some years later, the Cording Inc. was sold to Provo Woolen Mills and the land and building sold for a quartz mill. After this, John Armstrong bought land in different parts of Springville, then he would sell it to anyone who needed a home for any price they could pay. He also raised v strawberries to sell. Fruit Grower William Henry Bartlet Written by ellen T. Crandall. Information furnished by Leah A. Bartlet, his wife, and Pearl Bartlet Bart-let Wright, his daughter. William was away from home most of the time as he was a miner, then on the railroad was a powder man. When at home, he worked on his place on Sage Creek. He planted trees of all ' kinds and had a large strawberry patch, he also had honey bees. He would come home from the mines in the spring and stay two CaII hedl & we or three months. Then he would hire his father to take care of the place and go back to the mines. The spring after they lost their third baby, he remained at home for a while. One evening on returning home from his work from Sage Creek, he found Leah very sad and grieving from the babies she had lost. He felt very sorry for her and said, "How would it be to sell some of our bees and clean out the bee house and fix it up and live in it for awhile? We could be together more and it would be much better for you?" They decided to do this and soon had the bee house fixed up comfortably warm and clean. They lived here for a number of years. It was not long after they moved to Sage Creek until his place was one to be proud of. His strawberry patch was beautiful to look upon. He raised what was known as the Bartlet Strawberry. He hired many pickers and every crate had to be inspected before sold. People would come from all parts of town to buy strawberries from him. At this time, boys would buy them, take them to the Springville Spring-ville depot and sell them to the people on the train who passed through the city. He increased the size of his strawberry patch as years passed by. It was not many years until their fruit trees were bearing and they were selling all kinds of fruit, especially prunes. The Bartlets were blessed with several more children. By the time the children were old enough to help, their fruit trees were bearing and William made scaffolds and racks on the lot where the sun shone. Leah and the children would dry the fruit that was not sold fresh. When the fruit was all taken care of, William Wil-liam would stack all the racks and crates and put them up in the granary ready for another year. " , ,' Picnic ' One spring the school had a picnic on Mt. Kolob, a shelf on the side of the mountain with a little spring of water, (1st spring). This was named from the star which Joseph Smith declared by revelation to be the center of the universes and of God's sovereign sover-eign way. There was an out crop also of small black mineral crystals crys-tals called Kolob rocks by the kids. On the way home from this picnic we passed a meadow almost blue with spring violets. The principal of the Hunger-ford Hunger-ford Academy at one time was Mr. J.A.L. Smith. We make it -pot you . . . not before, you!!! We will help mke yur summer picnic ! '"TnllWol""" TACO SALAD!!!
