Lobelia was also given to aid her breathing. When the breathing became much worse. Sister Heywood put onions under the child's arm and oiled her wrell. In pite of all this the child died. Even though the Pioneers who came into Juab Valley were very busy wresting a living from the soil, they found time to provide recreation and social activates for them-elve(They'll Save YOU Lots of Backbreaking As early as March of 1852 Martha Spence Heywood mentioned a party and ball that she attended where mince and custard Labor) pies and fried cakes were served. In December 1852, Sister Heywood records that "they had the first dance for 1 only 25-inc- h this season on Friday night as a reward for getting the school house repaired.

After the Social hall was built, drama became an important part of the community. Some of the early dramas played there were Damon and Pythius", MacBeth". "Merchant of Venice"; King Lear and We of today might do well to emulate this. Music played a very vital part In the community. In 1853 William Minshall Evans was called and set apart by President Brigham Young to organize and conduct a choir. He served from that date until his death in 1877, with the exception of one years leave of absence. There was no organ, so the choir sang a capolla. Later violins furnished the accompaniment and In 1870 the first organ was purchased. (Nephi's Centennial Jubilee p. 12. 13.) In 1857 the Deseret News wrote There is an excellent choir at Nephi and the Saints are justly proud of Often the choir was invited by President Young to accompany him on his trips to Sanpete County and to Southern Utah. There is a discrepancy as to when the first brass band was organized in Nephi, the dates varying from 1851 to 1861, but there is no disagreement as to the quality of the band. It was one of the oustanding bands in the territory of Utah. In 1865 a Deseret News correspondent traveling with Brigham Youngs party as he journeyed to Salt Lake City, said of the band: A few miles south of Nephi the Presidency w'ere met by an escort, and as we halted in front of Bishop Bryan's residence, an excellent brass band, numbering twelve intelligent-looking persons and led by Mr. Hawkins struck up a lively air, which cheered our spirits and made us forget somewhat the fatigue of forty miles travel. (The Deseret News, June 25, 1865) The Journal History records in 1865: At a meeting in Payson, the singing and music were beautifully executed by four Spanish good choirs, from Springville, Fork, Payson and Nephi, and the excellent band from Nephi which accompanied the President on his southern trip last summer, and afforded so much harmonious gratification to the company and settlements through which they passed. (Journal history of the Church, June 10, 1865.)
