Fireworks begin at 9:45 p.m. old-time- rs V t ' old-time- rs Father came across plains with pioneers By RUTH MALAN Standard-Examine- r correspondent Kaysville - Memories fill the notebooks, folders and papers in Verna Victors care. The papers hold the history of her family, and most importantly her daddy - one of the pioneers who crossed the plains in a covered wagon. Victor tenderly picks up an old photograph of an older, bearded man. This is the only way I knew him, she said. The Kaysville woman was bom to Charles John Roe and his second wife, Eliza Ann, when her father was in his 60s. Victor says she always looked at him in awe. Roe was just a small child when his family crossed the plains in a covered wagon, heading for the Salt Lake Valley. My grandfather, James Roe, and grandmother, Elizabeth Hollis, joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints in Radford, Nottinghamshire, England, Victor said. - , Victor, who has written a short history of her fathers life, said her grandfather died in England, leaving Hollis with four children. At the age of 41 Hollis and her children -Emma, 11; Mary, 8; Isabella Jane, , 5; and Charles John, 3 - set sail for America on April 14, 1854, leaving from Liverpool, England, on the ship Germanicus. Hollis had money because her husband had been of the lace mills in Radford. She paid for a traveling companion and aide for her children to come along with her. The ship, commanded by a man named Capt. Fales, carried 220 Saints under the direction of Elder Richard Cook. They arrived in New Orleans on June 12 and traveled by steamboat to St. Louis, Mo. As the ship pulled from shore and started up the Mississippi River, the travelers began to sing hymns of praise. The trip was not an easy one -many suffered from the insects, whose bites caused chills and fever, and some died. Among those who , died was Hollis, from yellow fever, leaving her children orphaned. Victors aunt, Maiy, remembered the hammering and sawing going on night and day to make caskets for the dead, one of them being her mother. Victor has a written record of the four children living in Mormon Grove, which was a general place of encampment for emigrants near Kansas City. It was also the assembling place for companies starting the westward trek. part-own- er See TIES3 Sunset Fun Days Friday: -- Carnival, sports tournaments; beginning at 5 p.m. - Old timers baseball game; 7 p.m. -- Youth 1 1 p.m. iirrmrf TIM Victors father was one of the ' early Mormon pioneers who trekked across the plains as a child.

The City Council approved a Class 0 beer license, which requires that any alcohol must bo purchased as part ol a meal and has to bo consumed on the premises. The city will conduct a compliance check at a future date, which is conducted in conjunction with the police department each quarter on businesses licensed to sen beer in the city. Panel to study Jockey Club plan A committee will be formed under the oty planning commission to mull over recommendations for the proposed Farmington Greens development on 95 acres in west Farmington. Planning consultant Jerry Tully made a presentation to the City Council on Wednesday outlining what would be a massive project of well over 200 homes ranging from condommums and townhouse-typ- e units to million-dolla- r single-famil- y homes. About 40 percent of the site, south of Clark Lane from 1100 West to 1525 West, would be green space. While planning commissioners appeared warm to some of the concepts, which include a village green and small-towaspect to the project, they did not want to take action. There was some concern from residents about the high increase in units proposed, from a previous number of about 70, and traffic that would generate. City Manager Max Forbush said the overall , response was to tone down" the proposal. Farmington Green is the working name being used for the Jockey Club property which has been proposed for an equestrian park and facilities for a long time. Farmington Green would also center around an equestrian park as part of its green space. n CLEARFIELD RDA buys building on Main Street The city redevelopment agency has bought the building once occupied by Diamond Trade and Loan. City Manager Jack Bippes said the building, at 16 South Main, was purchased for $65,000. The RDA is considering leasing the space, which is just south of Crown Billards. The space was previously occupied by Merls Jewelry. WEST POINT Fire department - Due to growth and increased service, Clearfield Fire Department officials have amended what they were charging West Point City for emergency coverage. City Manager Jack Bippes said its necessary for the city to raise the standby fee for West Point from $28,705 to $47,019 in renewing the agreement for the 1997-9- 8 fiscal year. The council approved the new agreement. If they (residents) want the coverage, theyve got to pay for it, said Mayor Howard Stoddard. am.
