You see, they lived in London, England, and the smog was so thick from the many coal stoves and fireplaces that she was advised to get to where the air was clean and clear.

He, however, was capable of playing many different musical instruments and played in a band there. Upon coming here he was active in all kinds of musical groups including LDS church choirs. Actually, Grandpa was a policeman in London and was the same in New York City when they first arrived in the U.S. But that eastern city wasnt their goal and some time in the 1870s they arrived in Utah. Vearl and Morris both tell of growing up in families where music was an important part of living.
