Some of the inhabitants even fled town to the foothills for safety. The second school house was made of adobe and stood close to where William Fenni-mehouse stood. It was a mere building with a bench around the wall and the students would sit facing the wall. They didnt have desks but used their knees in place, writing on slates. To erase they had a damp cloth. The church house was built in 1894. Before it was completed. it was partitioned off for a school house. It was used for this until 1903. Three or four school buildings were used at one time, the kindergarten would go to the Relief Hall; the second and third grades U the Church House; the fourth and fifth grades to the gymnasium, and the sixth, seventh and eighth to the newer school building. A night school was held at the teavhers home for reading and spelling. Interestingly, Astell P. (Oral H 43) and Lloyd Rogers (Oral HI A) tell of interesting adventures in the early schools. Astell mentions, I went to school in the old church house, used to be before they tore it down, the old rock church. Then I went down in the old town hall he-w- as I 33 So. Ut.

As the author was reviewing the oral histories, these two individals delightful commented on an item which hasn't been touched on in this series; i.e., funerals. I thought it might be interesting to review the highlights as seen through the early reports. Mr. Rogers explains that, when we had Minerals we had to hold them in the upstairs of the old chapel. The stairs were long stairs and quite a steep place and we'd have to lug them up there and hold a funeral. Brother Day was the janitor and in those days we used to toll the bell from the time the casket left the house until it got to the church and up in and seated. Then theyd hold the funeral. They theyd have to take them down and put them in the buggy and take them to the cemetery. That was quite an ordeal. In those days you didn't have to buy a casket. They' made the caskets and lined them, the Relief Society would take care of the ladies and the men take care of the men. Theyd make the casket and line the caskets with the nicest stuff they could find. People would dig the grave. It didnt cost us so much when somebody died. You didnt hate to die them days, because it didn't cost your family so much to bury em. Mrs. Ahlstrom added, my dad used to use his buggy. He hauled every corpse for years to the cemetery in his white topped buggy. It had curtains you know on it, white curtains. He's put them all down and the casket would be in the buggy and we had a big team, a big pretty brown team. He hauled all the dead people up to the cemetery for years in the white topped buggy."
