Show Universal Microfilming Corp, Pierpont Ave 3-1- 5-- 4-7 84101 mill Thursday, March 1,1973 SPOTLIGHT Annie Harmer Annie Hartnon Is a former resident of Salina and now lives at the Estelle Nursing Home at 812 So. 7 East in Salt Lake City. She takes the Salina Sun and reads it from front to bock, enjoying the news from Salina and shedding tears when she reads certain Spotlights, such as those of Mr. and Mrs. Allen C. Folster and Jack and Helen Learning. The Folsters and the Learnings are her past neighbors in Salina. 9ie used to live in the house across the street south from Folsters. Jack and Helen bought the lot from Annie on which their home is built. Annie is actively involved in intelligent activities and she is in communication with other people, she has many limitations in her activity because of her severe arthritis, but with the enjoyment that comes through reading good books, die can continue to travel to tar- -. away places. Fond memories that she has of the past carry a great thrill for her. At her age, she has a great many years to look back upon and m a ny fascinating stories to tell of the past days and of the things that have happened to the current day. Over her lifetime, an entire evol'ition of science has occurred in which man has moved from the horse and buggy to being able to fly to the moon, and it is incredible to think that Mrs. Harmon has lived through these days. How exciting it must be for her to reflect upon some of these things, and at the same time, she must have a feeling of loneliness because of the many years that have passed between the last time she visited with many of her loved ones who have passed away. Annie is a strong person, a good soul, and a wish is expressed by the people who know her that die will continue to be as active and Interesting as she is today. This is only done with a great deal of pain and agony on her part and a weaker person would not be able to accomplish all that she has and stm is doing. Annie Harmon was born on November 1, 1885, in Salina, in the home where Lewis Bates now lives, across the street south from Allen Folsters. Sie is 87 years old, and, as die has expressed It, "I have never been this old before. When she was three years old, she had a serious leg injury and she couldnt walk for a long time. The doctor said the bone would not heal and the cords in her leg were twisted. She recalls when her mother would take her to school This in a little red wagon. injury ha s plagued her through her entire life. Her father was well read, and he taught her to read the Deseret News when she was only five years old. Her childhood days and her school days were happy ones. Sie made them that way. She went to the Presbyterian School in the old church. One of her favorite chores was to ring the school bell and she got to do this often. She also remem- -, bers going to a little school house with Bell Barnard Ground Breaking March 3 away and only the three are Robert, Oscar and living Annie. Annie used to set type and also clerked for many years and was the operator of a boarding house in her later years. It was while her father was in Washington County, near St. George, working in the old Woolen Mills that he met her mother, and they were married in the St. George Temple. Brigham Young called them to Salina to help settle it. Annie married Leslie Walter Harmon. When they were married, her father gave them a lot to build her home. She said it was the most beautiful lot in She had tall poplar Salina. trees bordering one side of the lot, many fruit trees and a grove of hardwood trees at the back. Her husband was a musician and they always had a lot of fun traveling with many road shows all over the country. He played in Kirk Petersons and Tony Willardsens orchestras. Annie and Olivia Thorne 11 used to sing together for entertainments on years old, she worked for the American Cancer Society and the Child-Canc- er Society and the CripChildren Society, all charity work. This is proof of her love for people. Annie has seven grandchildand ren, 22 seven Her children numbered five. Boyd was a professor at the U. of U. and at U.C.L.A. in Los Angeles and a Lt. Commander in World War II. He died of cancer at the young age of 40. Dean was a talented musician and played on two Utah radio stations, KDYL and KSL. He was considered a genius in his field of music and also wrote beautiful poetry. Annie has a book of poems written by him. He died at the very young age of 20. Her daughter, Nedra, is Mrs. Doc Olsen and she lives in Salt Lake City. Annie buried two infant daughters, Julia Evelyn, four months old, and Mary, four or five days old. Her doctors can hardly believe she is 87 years old because she has no wrinkles. When asked where her wrinkles are, she says, "I press them out every morning. Annie loves people and loves making new friendships through correspondence. She has a special hobby of writing to people all over the country. She uses a dictionary faithfully. 3ie heard that Jimmie Durante was ill in the Santa Monica Hospital in California, so she sent him ll a card and wrote the Jimmie Boy, I wish following: I had your big nose and all the money you make.
