His wife, Lucy to be chopped into grain and older daughter. Ussy, went to Big Piney by train, taking with them all their possessions. While living by the Mill, he had a six year old boy drown In Mill pond. (Inst summer we visited the Cemetery at Big Piney and found the graves of Wm. Turpin and his wife Lucy. Mr Turpin died, July 1910 at the age of 61. Hla wife died In 1938 at the age of 83.) On Sept. 12, 99, Alfred Richlns Jones and his brother, John Shill Jones, bought the mill. They continued to operate the Mill together until '1909 when John was culled on a mission to Texas by the LOS Church, John left his wife and family In Echo and served two years In the mission field. When he returned, the Jones brothers continued to operate the Mill until Oct. 81, 1914 Jchn then moved hla family to Honeyville, Utah, to operate another flour mill. Hie share of the Echo Mill was then purchased by Alfreds son, Marlow. This partnership continued until Alfred's death, Nov. 1, 1941. Marlow recalled that farmers from Summit County and surrounding areas, brought their wheat in wagons to be cleaned for planting or to be ground Into ox-dra- mllL Marlow Jones continued to run the chopper to clean wheat for planting and to chop grain for cattle feed for several years after his father's death; but the last on KAMAS girl-frie- nd 7U tht Water , OfynpJo Rowing Company, Tumvolw, mot Olympia HMiqpoa 0(y JM l) Early Christmas without fail. He did say that with their homemade sleds, they would go sleigh riding, in between feediv all their cattle. He also says all he ever got in his stocking was a lump of coal, and a stick of wood. (Ho must have been a real little terror.) The family always had a Christmas tree though. They would decorate It with all the beautiful little homemade decorations and light it with candles. Some of you might want to chock with Carl Hortin, to find out if Paul Is telling the truth. Some how, one feels that he must have gotten at least one little toy at one time or another. What do you Christmas think) Emery Lewis is another one who insists that he received nothing but coal and wood. He says he used to get everything taken away from him by his older sister and brother, only because he was so little when he was young. Mr Lewis said if he got started remembering all the things about hla past Christmases, he would take up a whole page or more. But the wonderful memories would heartily outweigh the depressing ones hes sure. Barbara Hoyt, who U of a younger generation than some of the above mentioned, still recalls that children didnt get so much, but prised that which they did. The kids ln her family, would save up a little money, then go and buy their mother a handkerchief, which In turn, would bo reverently received. Veda Wilde Snyder never could figure out how Santa Claus could get through the six foot drifts which surrounded them up the Weber Canyon, and never leave sny sign of tracks. She and her sister, who is now Mildred Gibbons, treasured a small set of dishes and cupboard set one Christmas. It was theirs to share trgether. The two sisters were outnumbered by all their brothers. Two who are still living here are Elmer and Harold. Another, Lloyd, lives In Ogden, and Ray died Just a little over a year ago. Then there Js Layton, and two others who are now deceased, George and Casper. The whole family of George and Mary Hannah was usually snowbound mdst of the winter, and only came out In the sleigh once in a while for groceries. But even with the bad weather, Santa made it, and candy, such as hard tack, candy animals, and peanuts were always Waiting on the tree.

John Baxter came regularly from Woodruff, Utah, with his wagon. The round trip from Woodruff took two weeks. (Pour thousand pounds of wheat could be pulled by a four hone team.) These farmer camped in tents and wagons around the Mill while they waited for their grists to be ground. The Mill often ran 24 houn a day during the busy harvest season. Parmen rarely paid with money. More often the Miller accepted "toll" a percentage of the flour and other products of the grinding.

It differed from those of today, in that the runners wore out of round rod, and nut the flat steel they use now. Laney Baby Naoma Laney Richards has given one of the most refreshing and cute accounts of Christmas older that most of the set will readily remember. She, who waa the youngest of nine lived where the Bob Fitzgeralds are now. She also said, with a little laugh, that she is still referred to as the Laney baby by a lot of people. On Christmas morning, after the opening of presents, the en tire neighborhood would turn out to go sliding, skating, or Just plain cavorting on the ice, which had frozen over and down the fields from the canal.
