Show 2B Thursday, June THE GREEN SHEET 19, 1986 Milestones K Seventy Years Marriage Celebrated By Eugene And Pearl Croxford "The Farmer r Feeds Us All" '"- - ' Seventy years ago, on June 21, Eugene Croxford and Pearl Griffiths exchanged their marriage vows in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. He was 20 years old at that time, being born on January 4, 1896, the very day that Utah was no longer a Territory and became a State in the Union. Pearl was 18 years of age. They lived in Murray for a few years and then moved to Union, Utah in 1924 where they have resided or the last 62 years. Eugene started working at the age of 12 years, driving four horses which pulled wagons hauling ore from the mines atop both Little and Big Cottonwood Canyons. Being able to manage four horses was considered a mans work, but due to his early training on a farm in Murray he was able to hold his own with both the horses and other men on the job. After his marriage he worked in Parleys Canyon, helping build the roads there and then was a road supervisor for S.L. County for the following six years. He was employed by Anderson Lumber, in Murray, for 19 years and then worked for the U.S. Forest Service until his retirement when he was 70 years of age. The two of them have held numerous positions in the LDS Church, she in both the Primary and Relief Society. She is a member of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers and n of the first chapter was of the Union Fort DUP. Eugene is a member of the Sons of the Utah Pioneers. n for her Pearl is beautiful hand work. 1916, 8,sr now dairy farmers are being paid high prices to sell their cows to the butcher on a promise that they wont go into the dairy business again for (I dont know what's going on with the farmers of the country, but whatever it is... and whoever is to blame .. .it isnt good. believe) five years. President Reagan told the truth, however, w hen he said that we have had subsidies for over 40 years and they havent worked. If they had worked, the farmers wouldnt find themselves in the uncomfortable spot they are now in. Something is wrong. All of which is why grain elevators are stuffed to the gunnels with wheat grown 5 years ago; why cheese and butter are given away by the billion pounds each month; why we give wheat to nations around the world.
