She also recalls that as a child her father moved his young family to Salt Lake where he worked as a street car conductor on the City Lines. For a time they lived in a pretty little house across from Liberty Park. ..which to Sarah was a dream come true. The old boarding house where the Woolleys first met.

Brown Woolley. f i ishings were packed together in one big truck, and before it could be unloaded, it began to rain. At first it was believed that the carpets on top of the load would protect the rest of the furnishings, but when the storm was over they found to their dismay that the rain had soaked down through the carpets and leached the dye all over their clothes.

Being naturally shy, Sarah chose to help her mother with the cooking and serving, while her sister Leone waited on the tables. However, her shyness did not keep her future husband, Ranald Woolley, from noticing the pretty young girl in the kitchen and it wasnt long before he came courting. A lot of their time was spent at Salt-ai- r resort on the shores of the Great Salt Lake, where there were tables for picnics, rides, swimming and dancing.

Marriage meant another giant step for Sarah, but this time it was south to Bingham where Ranald had found a job in the mine. They moved into a two room rented house, and although it wasnt the bridal suite at the Hotel Utah it seemed like heaven to the young couple who were beginning a new life together. I Every day the children crossed the d street into a world filled with rides, music, animals, a big boat that circled the lake, and concession stands that sold soda pop, cotton candy, and ice cream. It was a marshmallow world that seemed as though it would never end. But like all dreams it did. One day her father came home and announced that he had quit his job with the street car lines and had hired on at the Utah Copper Mills. From the lovely surroundings at Liberty Park Sarah suddenly found herself in what was once called Pleasant Green. But it wasnt very pleasant and it wasnt green because the room was cabin with a lean-tin an area called Rag Town just north of Webster School. Rag Town was a tent city filled with temporary make-shif- t dwellings that were hastily thrown up to offer shelter to families of men who were working in the mills. To the north was Snake Town that had earned its name from the rattlesnakes that inhabited the area. And Little Italy and Jap Town housed the immigrants who had responded to the lure of better money in a new world. Frank and her husband are light and telephone bills, and her daughter Lyle got a job in a restaurant to pay the rent. Fruit and vegetables from the garden sustained the family until good times came again, and when the mills opened they once more headed back to the town at the foot of the Oquirrh Mountains. Over the years Sarah became famous for her cooking and the beautiful handmade articles she created. Each of her grandchildren have been gifted with a quilt or pillow cases and pillows when they married, and each of her daughters and daughters-in-lahave recieved beautiful handmade quilts. Devoutly religious, she has served as counselor in her ward Relief Society presidency, and was a visiting teacher for 65 years. Seven of her children are still living. They are Evelyn (Mrs. Blaine) Farr; Lyle (Mrs. Bernard) Atkinson; Ranald, Grant, and Joseph Woolley; Sarah (Mrs. Tracy) Shaffer; and Lucy (Mrs. Carmon) Perry. Her son the post office sat customers on the counter stools and kept the cash customers from seeing what was in the show case. With the advent of children, Sarah went to a specialist who was the company doctor for ZCMI. In time eight youngsters were born to the couple to enrich their lives, but raising children in the early 1900s was not without attendant trials and tribulations. Small pox stalked the settlement like a gaunt gray ghost and pneumonia also struck fear in the hearts of the settlers at the foot of the mountain. But raising children had its bright side, too, for Sarah recalls the vacations to Yellowstone Park and lunch at Lagoon where kids could have a big time for only a quarter. During the depression, when the mills closed, the Woolleys moved back to Ogden. With her husband ill, the children rose to the occasion and found jobs to take up the slack.
