Show NfW ti 2A Emery County Progress Wednesday, May 15, 1985 IWMG COEUNTTIY Sour dough and a sweet life By ELIZABETH HANSON Staff writer The vibes started over sour dough and fermented into a marriage that has lasted 56 years and holding... each other with tenderness. George and Ada J. Magnuson, illustrious Castle Dale citizens, nearly 89 and 84, keep house together in the brick home built at the turn of the century. They indulge in some wheelchair therapy. Since Adas legs were broken in falls about the house, she scoots about in a wheelchair which loves me. Too much, counters her spouse. You need to push it. Outside, on sunny days they take turns pushing each other in the wheelchair, the only wheels they control since George had to give up driving. The doctors told me to keep my hands off the steering wheel because I couldnt see, but I am able to walk to the store for groceries, pick up the mail from the post office, get our prescriptions from the drug store, and were close to church "THEATERS"" Theater Hotline MOTOR 637-170- 5 VUFri., Sal, and the senior citizen center. Actually George balks at any kind of medication. He meekly swallows the brewers yeast three times a day and takes a few vitamin pills for his health. A veteran member of the county RSVP band, he is always groomed and ready when the bus stops out front. Sue Jones, senior center supervisor, escorts Ada to the weekly dinner at the center Tuesdays now that her health permits. The senior citizen program is one of the grandest because so many older people do not eat properly says Ada. She loves to cook and George loves eat. She fixes to nourishing but light meals, little red meat, the accent on fish and chicken. George make his own breakfast of cracked wheat cereal while she prefers grapefruit or stewed rhubarb. The rhubarb growing in the yard is being used in a variety of desserts. Rhubarb or pie plant is a native of Mongolia and technically a vegetable.

She recounts how long and miserable the ride to Price was in a wagon over rutted roads, polishing fathers Sunday shoes on the cistern, one of the first constructed in town, watching the workmen install power poles and marveling as the glass bulb lit up as it hung from a cord in the middle of the room, and how cured hams and shoulders of pork were wrapped and stored in grain bins. She was chosen Junior Miss Utah and dressed in a red and white gown to ride in a July 24th float. She would go to Robertsons store to buy a bar of colored popcorn, a fancy round paper fan, and an ice cream cone for 25 cents. A half gallon of kerosene for the lamps cost 25 cents. She shared the terror and tears of the townpeople as they watched floods overflow the river banks, and logs and trees in the foaming maelstrom, and how steel as well as wooden bridges were ripped from abutments. Cherished baby of the family of six, Ada was given many advantages, including the first mattress bought at a Price store. Feather and straw ticks were the norm. She was 14 when father brought home a wool Axminister rug for the living room and an electric vacuum cleaner. Out went the rag rug. With two new occasional chairs from Sears, Robuck, they were would arrive by coach, sometimes pulled by four horses, and often hours overdue. Versatile at several skills, Charles Jensen ran a blacksmith shop in the corner of the lot. After school Ada would often report for duty at the long handle activating the bellows. Once Charles was working in the shop when a couple of strange men alighted and asked to have their horses shod and a bridle repaired. They hung about the shop until the work was done. They insisted on paying with a gold piece and refused change. They appeared George and Ada J. Magnuson area Castle Special Nut Bridge Mix ib Pecan-Caram- el Clusters ib.

Later Charles found out the law was after Butch Cassidy and companion believed to be somewhere in the area. In contrast to Adas secure situation, George became a displaced person upon the breakup his parents of marriage. He felt compelled to work for his board and room. At the Dave Seely home where he found emotional support and real affection, he was paid $1 a day plus meals and bed. The experience made me a man. It takes a little roughness to mature a child.
