Town Published Every Friday at Fillmore, Utah 84631 By Progress Printing Company PUBLISHER & EDITOR Susan B. Dutson FILLMORE by STELLA DAY have had the of recording so privilege much of the history of Millard County, I have read many of the histories of the other counties in Utah, and the more I read the more I marvel at the foresight of our Brigham great leader Young. Of course he consulted with his apostles constantly about where each family was sent as Salt in they arrived Lake City, mostly from the different countries of Europe, but I notice that most of the biographies say the family was sent to such and such town by Brigham Young, after a few days in Salt Lake City. Sometimes it was a month or more, after the family arrived in Salt Lake City, but. mostly it was about a Since I . week. Each community need-al- l of the different tradespeople. in order to be able to be I often wonder how Brigham Young kept track of all of the skills needed in each settlement and how missionaries the happened to convert the tradespeople necessary in order that the settlement would not suffer from some lack, when they had so little to keep them alive. Brigham Young must have kept records of the talents of each group of new settlers sent to each village. and even if he did keep track, how did it certain that happen tradespeople arrived just when they were needed to keep the little village from failing? I am so happy we wrote "Milestones of Millard while there were pioneers alive who had such good memories, as very few people kept any written record and those who did wrote briefly. very Seldom did they go into details about their daily tasks or who did what. We obtained information from such pioneers as Estelle Beauregard, Isabelle Rogers, Ann Melville Bishop, and several others who had such wonderful memories. For instances, everyone needed shoes. Most had of the pioneers walked miles and miles across the plains and their shoes were entirely worn out. The tanning of the hides of cattle was very important, knowing just how to care for the hides right from the time the animal was first skinned. Our first tanners were James McMahon. Russell Rogers, John Trescott, O. Dudley, and John Cavannah. The first tannery was built on the property owned bv Harold Huntsman, on the east side of Main Street just a block south across of the bridge Chalk Creek. Anna Bishop tells us how her mother. Jane Melville made the upper part of the Jonathan shoes while Pugmire made the soles. Thomas Henderson, and William Lamber, John Cooper all made shoes which were sold in the Co-oStore. Thomas Henderson was an expert shoemaker, and the other shoemakers used to borrow some of his paste to paste the lining in the shoes, the innersoles. etc. William Crandall made the first pair of shoes for right and left feet. Up to then both shoes were made alike. William Crandall made this first pair for Suzanne Robison, wife of Benjamin Robison, the second pair for Louise McBride and the third pair for acEunice Huntsman, cording to Isabelle Rogers. The soles were secured to the uppers with wooden pegs instead of tacks. Other shoemakers were Thomas Turner, Christian Anderson, John Richard Hatton, Walker, Edward Trimble and others. Samuel Pierce Hovt built the first tannery. Bark from oak trees was used to help give color to the leather. These resourceful pioneers experimented until they found a satisfactory way to make whatever they needed and could not from commercial get sources. If inflation continues, we may have to discover ways to get along without some of the things which we have been used to having; at least we had better try to sharpen up our "ingenuities.
