Show Friday, Octobdr 29, 1993 liv-in- all through the hardships necessary. Many of diem possessed nice furniture and belongings when they started the try) westward. Some were able to hold on to diem until they arrived but many were forced to leave their precious filings along die road side. Piooeer women tried to bring along 'a stove, a chest full of clothing, quilts and such, a bedstead, some cooking utensils and as much food as could be tucked in the wagon. Flower, vegetable and gain seeds were also packed and gharded well through the long journey. The first furniture was meager, just the very necessities. Cooking was done in heavy pots on a little wood stove or over a fireplace. Among the precious relics preserved in Henefer is a little open hearth stove which was brought across the plains in a handcart about 1837. The stove belonged to William and Jane Brewer. There was a table and a chair or two in the kitchen, a wash bench with an enamel wash bowl and a mirror hanging, above it, if the owners had been lucky and one had readied the west unbroken. If it was cracked or broken it was used anyway. The large wood box was kept at the side or back of the stove. The bathroom? Yes, the kitchen was the bathroom, also. Saturday night was one of great excitement. Water was carried from the spring or irrigation ditch in large buckets. It was heated on top of the wood stove then poured into die wooden tub which was placed in front of the stove for warmth. Then the ritual began, each child received a thorough scrubbing, little ones first, mote hot water was added as it was needed. Come Sunday morning every chick, child and parent, dean and sweet attended services ' chased in Salt lake Gty in 1871. The machine was manufactured by the Wheeler and Wilson Sewing at die little church. The very first beds were made rtf poles with strips of rawhide across to hold the straw filled mattress. Some bed ticks were filled with com husks, later straw was used. Our pioneer forefathers were a progressive cultured people. Many of them had left large beautifully furnished homes. They were not satisfied to live in poverty. Their very souls cried out for beauty both inside and outside of the home. As they were able to exa bedroom or two pand, a lean-tand a pump house was added to the one log room. Pioneer men were artisans of many arts and trades learned in their home land. There were brick masons and carpenters among them, so by the late 1800s Heneferville became a little settlement of beautiful homes. Many were built of rock and lime cement, some were even made of red bride. Fancy porches Machine Co. The Edgeworths also owned a Concert Roller Hand Organ. The parlor was the never-to-b-e forgotten room. It was the result of all the longing for beautiful things of pioneer women. It was mother's "masterpiece." At the windows, she hung beautiful fringed curtains. The walls were near covered with life size portraits of members of the family. samplers hung cm the wall or on the high backs of Hand-stitch- o, were added, trimmed with ed hand carved chairs. There samplers read, "God Bless Our Home," "Home Is Where The Heart Is," "Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder, or "The Ten Commandments." The floor was covered with hand loomed carpet over a soft "pad" of newly threshed straw. In the center of the room was the table with its cover or tidy of crochet, netting or knitted needle work. On the table rested the family Bible and a large table piece of waxed flowers under a glass dome. The what-nshelves in the corner held all kinds of and keepsakes treasured over the years. The family album with its tinkling music box held a prominent place in the parlor. Within its covers were pictures of all family members from baby back to great grandparents. It also held the artistic love notes and valentines of a girl from her beau. cut-o- ut trim. The inside of the home was made more beautiful, also. Women saved every wornout piece of clothing. They cut and sewed them, then made them into braided rugs. Soon the hand loom was acquired and the woven rug came into bring. The fireplace was still used to warm die house, supplemented by the pot bellied "Hot Blast" Some homes had two fireplaces. Tall ot knick-knac- cupboards replaced the shelves on die wall, a hand operated washing machine, completed with wringer, was invented and replaced the copper washboard. Eliza Tristram's new washer was called, "Doty's Lightning Washer." It was operated with a wood handle which moved a corrugated dolly back and forth. It had no wringer. Coal oil lamps replaced the candle, then die wonderful gas light was used. The barrel chum on legs replaced ks A few families in Henefer had the great fortune to have brought from their mother country, a tall grandfather dock. It nearly reached file ceiling and chimed every quarter hour. Then there was the fam- ily organ. A few were brought across the plains but most of diem were acquired later from music stores in Salt Lake Gty. Old and young gathered around the organ and sang the lovely en songs of yesteryear. It was at the organ that mother played while father sang the hymns.

The blinds were kept drawn and doors closed until that special day when relatives came to visit or on Sundays after church and daughter entertained her best beau; or holidays like Giristmas when everyone stood around the organ singing beloved hymns or Giristmas carols or sat on the hair cloth covered chairs looking at the album or eating freshly popped corn. Then on those occasions when the family was saddened by the loss of a loved one by death the parlor was cleaned and polished and the body of that one so dearly loved was placed gently in that room of all the tender nostalgic memories, for the very last time as he or she would have desired. Pioneer furniture was beautifully designed and built. It was constructed of the very finest of woods and finishes. Fortunate is the family of today, if in their home, there is preserved one or more of these precious heirlooms. WAYNE HARDY FOR MAYOR the tall dasher chum made of crockery.
