a special time before winter set in to haul the winter supply of wood for winter Wood for the old Majestic kitchen stove for the heating stove in the ing room It was really the fall vacation for the hard working farmers Not that it was not hard work to haul wood but a chance to have a change to get with other farmers and go to the hills just as the red leaves were falling from the maples the sumac on the creekbeds turned brown and bare Two or three men with their teams and wagons went together Generally the same ones together year after year It was better for safety for helping each other load the heavy logs for “doubling up” teams to pull the heavy loads up the steep grades through sand through mud and snow if storms moved in The hay rack or wagon box was taken off the wagon leaving the “wood rack” No more weight than necessary in the wood rack just enough base over the wheels to hold hay for the horses a bed roll the log chains and a couple of axes a “grub box” containing home made bread a bottle of preserves cheese bacon and eggs and a pot of heating water over the campfire It was a two day trip to the Oak City or Clay Springs hills A day to go and get some wood dragged in the cond day to load the wood and go home if all went well arriving home late into the night The best wood was dead cedar trees tipped over by hooking a log chain in the upper branches and pulling it over with the team and dragging it to the wagon There it was trimmed with the ax into loadable logs then fitted with into a tight and care and precision heavy load The wood hauler always had to judge the size of his load by the ability of his team of horses which he knew well If he loaded his load too heavy his team would “give out” before the long haul home It was hard work for men and horses and when the load was “topped out” and the horses headed for home they really traveled they could get off the hills and ridges in record time knowing they were headed for home If a snow storm and cold weather caught the men and wagons still in the hills in was a problem Sometimes the slid off the steep emwagons bankments tipped over and had to be loaded again In the bitter cold winds the man would tie the lines to the load and walk in the protection of his load or walk beside it to keep warm They would wrap their shoes with burlap to help with walking in the snow and to keep snow and ice from their feet The horses knew the way to go home It was always an anxious time for those waiting at home for the wood Church was ‘quiet gentle’ (The following article is based on a story that appeared in The Thunder-birSL'SC student newspaper Nov 28 The original article was written by Lynn Holt) Memorial services were held at SUSC in Cedar City Tuesday Nov 29 for Gordon Ray Church Many friends stood

Church said Sterling is vice president for student services at SUSC Cathy Lawson manager of Cedar where Church worked City’s for three years said he “was probably one of the top persons in the store” Church had been nominated several times for the store’s customer service award and was known by and customers alike as a very knowledgeable and helpful employee Church’s gentle nature makes his violent death even more shocking to friends “He wouldn’t hurt a fly” Lawson said Church had been pected to return to work at the store Saturday “I want people to know of his character" Annette Grooms said Grooms is a friend of Church’s and a junior majoring in business administration “He was a great guy I know a lot of people say that kind of thing (after someone’s death) but he really was sweet” Rebecca White Church’s adviser in his technical theater emphasis said he was “very responsible very reliable and very gentle He was a ready volunteer for extra work in the theater” Church had worked on various technical crews for many SUSC shows and White said was soon to begin stage management duties for upcoming productions in the department He was to have graduated in June Susan Harp a senior theater student from Amarillo Tex who worked with Church in the College’s Masque Club said he was one of the hardest workers in the group “He was a strong candidate for ‘member of the year’ honors last year” she said adding Church’s gentle nature made him a friend to many Church was the son of David Gordon and Nancy Nelson Church He attended Delta High School before graduating from Cedar High where the CHS faculty named him the outstanding business student Church lived with his grandmother Pearl in Cedar City while attending SUSC Delta radiation is normal Results of radiation measurements

and listen and hear team and wagon long before they drove into the yard If snow was on the ground the crunch and screaming of the iron wheels on the snow could be heard but is was a welcome sound The load of wood was unloaded on the “wood pile” which was a part of every home back yard It was a pile of sand that had accumulated from the sand in the bark of the trees bark and chips from years of chopping "Getting in the chips” for starting the fire in the morning was always a good “chore” for the one just embarking into the world of working learning the responsibility and having a part of the work of the family It was quite a task to keep the wood box filled with wood The wood warmed the wood hauler many times loading unloading chopfinally the fragrant ping carrying chunks of golden cedar put into the open fire box of the Majestic stove letting out just enough cedar wood smoke to appreciate the good cedar fragrance The good wood warmed the kitchen as the mush simmered on the back of the stove in the morning and the aroma of home cured sausage or ham filled the air The kitchen table was set with the backs of the chairs to the table reminding the family that before they sat down they would kneel and thank the Father for all the blessings DACC Money Tree winners The Delta Area Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce this weeks Money Tree winners Pick up your certificates
