The nearly Vida Rouechc is a granddaughter of Adams. V" j nypl UJUll I Her parents, Andy and Harriet Adams, were the second owners of the red brick home located at 1372 E. 1000 North. Their The day set aside every year to honor fathers is fast approaching and the Lakeside Re- piano remains century-ol- d -- the decorative brickwork around the windows and the upper windows are arched. The upstairs portion of the house has been blocked off and is no longer used, but there are two bedrooms on that floor. The main floor was built with a parlor, dining room, large bedroom and a pantry. The family cooked in the cook house to the north of the home, said her son, Wren Rouechc. A carved wood rosette is still on ceil- the ceiling above the parlor ing, he said. Still heating the room is the ancient Estate Junior Heatrola. It was put in by my parents," said Vida Rouechc. When the parlor is used during the winter, a fire is put in the old stove. Built on a rock foundation the home has walls three bricks thick. According to the Roucchcs the brick came from the old Kaysville bpekyard. A bathroom was made at one end or particularly heartwarming story on why your father is so special. 4, Fax us your response at or mail it to the Lakeside This Layton house, built 120 years ago, is still home to a descendant of the man it was built for. Vida Roueche, S3, is granddaughter to of the large bedroom. Her other son, Darrel Roueche, said he remembers when the bathroom was built. It was after 1936 when the city put water in. I was six years old and played on the bank of the ditch they dug to put the line in. They dug the whole thing by hand, he said. Although the upper floor is no longer in use the dormers with pitched roof lines remain intact At one time there was a stove in the bedroom. I had the measles when I was 12 or 13. Dad put a little round stove in to keep the room warm. Later bees got in the chimney," said Vida Roueche. All the original doors with their wide casings remain in the home as docs the original woodwork and doorknobs. The dining room now serves not only as a dining room but as a family room. Vida Roueche often sits in her chair and embroiders or watches television. REGANStandard-Examin- er George Washington Adams, who first lived in the house more than a century ago. Since it was built, it has seen little remodeling. After my work is done, I play the piano or embroider," she said. Her dining table is nearby. A stove and refrigerator are also part of the room. A sink and cupboards have been installed in the pantry to the east of the dining room. When the home was built it had a porch across the south end. A door led from the porch to the parlor, isaid Roueche. She has a vivid memory of that old porch that has since been removed. . My sister Zella and I used to sleep on that porch until the bear came," she said. She tells the following tale: Zella had been out with a beau. As she returned in a horse-draw- n buggy the horse began to rear. When the driver couldnt keep the horse still he told Zella to get out and go into the house. Zella ran from the buggy, a bear following closely behind. She went through the west door of the home and into the parlor. She threw open the door to the porch and dragged me in. Then she woke up Dad and he took his rifle and looked for the bear. The next night 10 men came with guns. A calf had died and was thrown in with the pigs. One of the men saw the bear jump in with the pigs to get to the calf. Six men shot at him and not one hit him, said Roueche. Roueche was bom in the home, as was one of her own sons. Her husband died in 1960 so she moved back into the home to take care of her mother and has been there since. A huge pencil drawing in its original oval frame hangs on a wall in the parlor. The name of the artist is not known, but she and her sons agreed he was from Kaysville. The portrait is of the 12 members of the George Washington Adams family; George, his wife and 10 children. Grandpa traded a horse and saddle for the drawing and it took six years for the artist to do it," she said.

According to Mayor Howard Stoddard, the city has presented a proposal to Clearfield asking for a new payment arrangement. Instead of paying an annual fee the city has suggested paying $600 per call. If the department is at the scene for more than I Vi hours the city will pay an additional $200. This years estimate would be $8,600, said Stoddard. The department responded to 10 fire calls in West Point between July 1989 and April 1991, he said. The city has not negotiated with Clearfield yet A preliminary WEST POINT budget for the upcoming fiscal year contains no property tax increase for city residents. The proposed overall budget of $697,050 recently approved by the city council is higher than the current year budget of $520,799. Much of the increase in the new budget is due to a $200,000 community development block grant received by the city to pay for improvements in the culinary water system. The budget also reflects a $1,300 increase in the cost of law enforcement. The city contracts with the Davis County Sheriffs Department for its services. That proposed budJ get is $22,350. , Readers, mail or fax us your favorite Fathers Day stories HISTORIC HOMES in the parlor along with an oak and leather sleeper couch, one of the earliest sofa beds.
