Among these living pioneers is numbered a little lady who lives in our town. She is 86 years young and her name is Estella Dixon Harper. Mrs. Harper was born near Sacramento, California, 1861, her people having migrated from Ohio a short time 'before her birth. When she was four years of age, her father suffered the loss of his barn and valuable horses, through fire, and it was then that the family decided to go back to Utah. After a month of travel the family arrived in Farmington, Utah, where they bought a four room adobe house. There was a fireplace along one wall and Mrs. Harper remembers that if it was not banked well at night, and was found dead in the morning, a shovel would be sent to the neighbors for live coals with which to start another fire. One memorable event which Mrs. Harper remembers very well was the day her father awoke the family bright and early and took them to see the union of the great iron rails, May 10, 1869, at Utah. She well remembers the driving of the Golden Spike and the fact that her mother took the first excursion train to Ohio for a visit with her parents whom she had left in tears and indignation when she had married a Mormon and came west with him. When Estellas mother returned to Utah she brought each of her two little girls a beautiful China doll, the envy of every other child. About this time the family to Payson, Utah, where Estella was allowed to go to school. She remembers that she learned the times tables and her geography lessons by singing them to a catchy tune. As she grew older, 1873, the first high school south of Salt Lake City was opened in Payson (before the advent of the BYU) and Estella was taught bookkeeping, botany and other subjects of higher learning. theEveryone enjoyed home atres and when dances were held young and old turned out for the fun. Violin and accoridon would sound off the music and the dance would start with a grand march. At midnight there would be a luncheon brought from home and all joined in giving stump was speeches, songs and jokes. It they before usually morning , would get home. Mrs. Harper is the widow oi Edmund Harper and the mother of 2 living children and numerous she grandchildren. All of her life has been active in the churdh ana has loved the company of her friends.
