Mr Hardman took his family to Star Valley, Wyoming when Mark was 11 years old. The valley was just being settled and many settlers, who had more than one wife, moved there to be where the officers couldnt find them. The winters were particularly hard, and food, kerosene, lumber and other essentials were freighted in before the deep snows fell. Often cattle and horses starved to death as feed was scarce. The boys herded their wild cows across frozen snow fields to patches of new feed. Often the wild cows, when they become weak, would fight the herders rather than be driven. They would chase the boys until they could no longer stand and would fall. The boys would help them up and the chase would resume. - It was in this valley that Mark met hlg wife, Margaret Elizabeth Bowles. She was born May 6, 1880 In Tazewell County, Virginia; a daughter of Charity Emmallne and William Orson Bowles. Her home was a small log cabin with a crude lean-tadded for a bedroom.

She met Mark Hardman when she was but nine years of age and from then on they had quite a bit in common. When Margaret was 10 years of age, she was given the response bility of caring for her little sis- ter, May, during the day while her mother worked away from home. Margaret had to do the family washing as ber mother had rheumatism. She would carry wood to the washing area, build a fire for heating water and scrub the clothes on the board, and, standing on the chair, hang the clothes on the lme. When Margaret was 12 years old, she earned her "own living helping neighbors. She chopped wood for fires, cooked meals, gathered cur rants, strawberries and vegetables for 50c a day or a dollar and 50c a week. their marriage March . Following 5, 1900, Mark and Margaret Hard- man lived in a sheep camp. When r their first child was born they moved into a little two room frame house, where two more children were born. When the baby, Elbert was two weeks old, Mark left for a mission to Australia. Everything of value in 1900 and 1908 was sold to keep him on his mission and when he returned, the Hardman's started over again and secured a homestead, cleared It and farmed under difficult circumstances in Etna, Wyoming. Here three more children blessed their home, Emma, Rosella, Elsie Pearl and Arthur. In 1916 they sold the homestead and moved to Ogden, Utah, then to West Point, Davis County and later to Clinton, Davis County where they lived for more than 14 years. Their children married and started their lives out. The youngest son, Arthur bought land in Sunset in 1941 and operates his own garage and automobile agency in Sunset. Mark and Margaret bought land a few years ago adjoining Arthurs and built a home where they now live.

To do this wp supplant the spirit -- of- getting from others by the humble spirit of giving ON THIS WONDERFUL DAY, the spirit of Christ reaches the heart of men and women What a difference it makes when we give up mean, selfish, pettys. and uncharitable feelings and troublesome attitude's and find in the spirit of Christmas frtend liness, sympathy, kindness, generousity and mutual helpfulness. for How wonderful if the Christmas spirit could hold-ove- r everv dav of the vear. The joys of loving and giving could tiun&le with the lovely life of springtime, with the sunshine and delightful growth of summer, and with the autumn with her fruits, brilliantly painted hillsides and ripened crops. Mans giving and love mingled with nature's beauty, and ' bounty. How happy we could b if peace and goodwill were a habit. The greatest happiness; living uprightly and making others happy would lend a good mind, responsive to moral and devine inspiration.
