Show HISTORY OF girl could. One day a little girl came to play with her and asked to hold the doll. Generously Carrie handed It to her with the warning to be careful. The two girls were playing on the south porch which had a bannister along one end where a pile of (as told to Dean C. Robison, 4 Read at the Annual D.U.P. Christmas Party, Dec. 9, 1971, honoring Carrie as the oldest living Daughter of the Utah Pioneers In Fillmore.) In the H.v building rocks still remained. Instead of caressing the doll as Carrie usually did, the other child took It bu the arm and and threw It over the bannister onto the rocks. The dolls china head was broken beyond repair, so also was Carries heart, and her friendship to her one time playmate. She and Teenie-WeeniLaura played with rag dolls about six Inches tall that they made themselves. They sewed arms onto them and painted faces, then made clothes for them from paper or scraps of cloth If they could get them. Hollyhocks also made small dolls that could live In play houses their father had made them out of wood In the shape of a box. They made furniture out of blocks, or cardboard and even burdock burs. What ever could be fashioned Into tiny chairs, tables and beds was used. Carrie was a good student and learned her lessons well. When she finished the schools In Fillmore she went to Beaver to the Murdoch Academy until she could teach school. Slender, fair - haired, and pretty, the young teacher had most of her teaching experience In the railroad town of Clear Lake Just west of the present Clear Lake Bird Refuge. This happened to be the nearest railroad station to Fillmore and many people of Fillmore either lived there at one time or drove teams back and forth to haul freight, mall, and passengers to make connections with the train. There was only one street, running east and west, and the houses were built on each side of It, the road extending to what was called the California Ranch, on the west, because It was owned . by a man from California. There were about a dozen families living at Clear Lake when Carrie taught school there. And she taught between twelve and fourteen students comprising three grades. She stayed with the William Aldridge family. Reading, arithmetic, history, writing and spelling were the main subjects taught to all the classes In the school house. There wasnt a church as the pecole were of several denominthe station agents ation., wife, who had come from Canada, had a Sunday School she conducted at the school house and everyone who wanted, went to It. Carrie said there wasnt an organ but everyone sang the hymns of any of the sects with equal enthusiasm, once they In year April, Carolyn Christiansen, both of them had parents that had grated from Denmark as converts to the Mormon Church. They lived with other Danish speaking people In the southeast section of Fillmore In an area frequently referredtoasLlttle Denmark. The marriage of Carolyn and Martin was solemnized In the Salt Lake City Endowment llouseandsoonafter their marriage he was called to go on a mission to the Sandwlsh Islands (now the state of Hawaii), he left Fillmore In September before their first child Carrie was born In December, the 29th, 1881. Martin was gone three years, and Carolyn lived with her mother, then upon his return the young couple began their married life together In the same neighborhood where they had grown up. When the couple had four children they started brick building a new home, on the corner of third south and second west. Carrie recalls that Just before moving to the new house she was sleeping with her sister Laura, the next child after her father's return from his mission and their little bed was beside her parents big one. At the foot of their bed Henry slept, and with them the youngest boy at that time, Ren (Lorenzo) was sleeping and Carolyn was expecting her fifth child. In those days a bedroom was for beds where most of the family members slept, especially In the cold months of winter. It was an exciting event for the Hanson family when they moved Into the new house. That first Christmas was one of the highlights In Carries ninety years. The children had slept upstairs, and very early In the morning before It was light they had crept down to the room where they had hung their stockings, only to find the door barricaded. As the light brightened they could see It was six new chairs their father had bought to surprise them all. There were a few small toys, candy, nuts and either an orange or an apple In the stockings It was probably before that Christmas that Carrie's grandmother (now married to Knute Rasmussen ) had given her a doll with a china head. She remembers her mother, Carolyn, kept It on the wall In their old home, out of reach of the younger childrens eager hands.

There first home In Fillmore was a log room with a shanty kitchen and a lumber bedroom. It was on the corner where Hyrum and Grace Mitchell now live ( 3rd South and 1st west.) They had three of their seven children here. However, Ed had acquired a ranch on the ridge east of Flowell and they built Relief Society and was always dependable even when she was having her babies. Her family was mostly made up of boys -six of them then she and Ed adopted her one daughter's son when he didnt want to leave Fillmore to live wlthhls mother In California. Their names were Randall, Gilbert, Forrest, Lloyd, Phil, and Judd, the boys -and the one daughter, Bonnie. Sad to say, tragedy struck the Davies home. First their little son, Gilbert, died at the age of a few months. Another son, Randall, was out In the field where his father was plowing. As Ed came near to where the child was playing, the little fellow, just past six years of age, hurried over to his father to show him a rabbit he had picked up. The rabbit was evidently sick and might have scratched Randall, as it was only a few days until he developed Rabbit Fever, or Tuler-em- la and died. The other four sons grew to manhood. Forrest, was married and he and his wife had two little girls, when he was called into the army. He became a war casuallty, but had already won the Purple Heart, for 'valor display beyond the call of duty. This was a great blow to Carrie and Ed, but with their characterstlc courage they carried on their usual duties without faltering. Another son, Phil, was working on a ranch In Nevada when the team of horses he was driving ran away and dragged him to death. Then several years later, Lloyd, married and with one child, was living In Nevada near faker. He was bringing a horse down a steep mountain road In Ms pick-u- p truck. The hdrse became so frightened of something, and began to plunge and rear, which caused the truck to tip over the steep dugway taking Lloyd to his death. When Ed died In 1950 Carrie and Judd kept up the work on farm. Their chief Income came from a herd of milk cows. Lynn, the foster son was In the service of our country, but had graduated from Millard High School, as an honor student. Bonnie lived In California, but came to Fillmore occasionally to see her mother, son Lynn, and brother, Judd. One summer day Carrie decided to make soap while she was waiting for bread to rise. She was almost ready to pour the soap Into the molds and then planned to go out to help Judd do the chores. He had Irrigated all night the previous night and had been sleeping a few hours before chore time. He stood talking to her wh.le she poured the soap then went on his way while she went to put the bread Into the oven before she Joined him. When she went out she saw the cows headed for the grain field and sensed that something was then wrong. Shouting Judds name she hurried toward the brans and found him lying dead In the Irrigation ditch. Frantic she ran down the road looking for help. Heber Huntsman saw her and stopped the gas truck he was driving to find out her He took her to Joe trouble.
