Wil-se- y. England, South Africa, wagon making, Mormonism, Kaysville, Oak trees are all important terms used in a true adventure story. THE MAIN characters for this tale are Eli Wiggill and his son Jeremiah. Eli was born in Gloucestershire, England. When he was eight years old, his family and 4.0(H) English colonists moved to the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. Ninety-si- x wagons filled with settlers colonized the Lemon Valley and give their new settlement the name of New Gloucester. Elis father was a wagon maker.. In the year 1827 Elis mother died leaving eight children. Eli was the eldest. In his autobiography Eli writes, Sometime after the death of my mother, I left home for the purpose of learning the wagonmaking trade.

I had traveled 30 miles when met a man named John Rogers. He persuaded me to stay with him. He lived in a forest. He induced me to stay by offering big wages to help him saw timber. Wages were to be 35 shillings a month. I worked for him six months. I left him and worked for a Dutchman at the same trade for the same pay. I worked for these two men for a year and never received one months pay or its value. This forest was called Peiter Retief s Bush on the Zuurbergen Mountains. At the end of this year I returned home with three tanned sheepskins, a black silk handkerchief. Very little for a w hole years work! I REMAINED home with my father for some time after this, occupying my time in sawing timber in the forest by cutting tall trees and saw down to make a saw-p- it them into lengths. We would stay in the forest sometimes for weeks.

Our neighbors were nearly all Welsh people. Next door to us lived the Ashtons and across the street the blind musician, Thomas Giles who used to play the harp." Mrs. Wiggill settled on Fiddler's Creek which is now called Rosewood Lane in Layton. He paid $400 for his 30 acre farm situated on Holmes Creek. The climax to this short story is a row of oak trees. Beginning at the home of Derrah B. Wiggill, 1254 E. Rosewood Lane and continuing up Holmes Creek to the Morgan home at 1500 E. Fiddlers Creek is a continuous patch of large oak trees. This is now the Gamble's variety of scrub oak normally found in Utah's foothills. It is a stately tree associated with immortality, strength and the noble qualities of life. The trees are large.

Kaysville, the Wiggill family moved leaving interesting stories of adventure and unsettled lands behind for their ancestors and others to read and enjoy. Perhaps they left another lasting monument - a row of w hite oak trees carefully cultivated along Fiddler's Creek. -- NEXT WEEK, some fascinating stories from Eli Wiggills autobiography. dmg . I nearly one foot in diameter. TRACING THE leaf through a taxonomy book a scientist discovers it is a species of w hite oak that grows along Holmes Creek or Fiddlers Creek. This is one of the most widely distributed of the oaks. The lobes of the leaf are rounded and the acorns mature in a single season. The upper surface of the leaf is yellow green, the under surface considerably lighter. The small acorns are held in, shallow cups, singly or in groups of tw o or three at the end of a very short stalk which is often lacking. The White Oak ranges on the north from Maine to Minnesota, on the west to Nebraska. Kansas and Texas and on the south to Florida. It is not native to the western U.S. It grows slowly and is difficult to transplant successfully. It likes dry soils of sandy loam. It is most beautiful when growing in the open. HOW DID the White Oak trees Creek? No one knows for sure. Mr. Derrah Wiggill says his grandfather, Jeremiah cultivated them. He was a w'agon maker. He needed a supply of wood for wagon wheels and wagon boxes. The pioneers did bring many plant starts into Utah with them. The White Oak is not native to the Western U.S. Mr. Wiggill notes there is one other clump of large oak trees in Davis County. It is along Haight's Creek near the Davis County Golf Course. OVER THE years the Wiggill family have tried to start new oak trees from acorns and from seedlings. The seedlings that fall along the roadside sprout easily but they die out quickly. The Wiggill's have only successfully got one acorn to sprout and live. It is now a slender tree of about 10 feet in height that grows in the Derrah Wiggill yard.
