Show Native and former resident writes for Parowan history That some former residents are interested in the history of Parowan Is shown from the following excerpts received by Mrs. Clara Benson last week a native and one time resident of our town, Mrs. Rula (Davenport) Cash. It Is as follows: Dear Mrs. Benson, You will probably not remember me, but I remember you very weJl. I left Parowan when I was 14 but it will always be "HOME" I have always had dreams of living there again some day. I have corresponded with following from a letter reccld-ed reccld-ed by Mrs. Clara Benson last Lillian Adams Grimshaw of Enoch quite a lot in the past few years and I had a letter from her today telling me she thought you and Sime had gotten Luella Adams Dalton's Iron County History reprinted. I just happened to be in Parowan the day Mrs. Dalton got her first shipment of the books and I bought one for myself and one for mother. When mother died she lived next door to Vera Rowley, also al-so a Parowanite and Vera had mother's book borrowed. Car-or Car-or or Bud didn't care about It ! so I gave it to Vera, she had ; been so good to mother. I still have my copy but It is so "dog eared" from reading it and loaning it. Lillian also said Silas Topham had told i her h usband, Hunter Grimi-shaw Grimi-shaw that you were also publishing pub-lishing a paper-back edition. '. Mrs. Benson, I would like at ; least three copies; I have no idea what the pjrlce or post-! post-! age cost. ; I am sending you $25 for three copies of the paperback. If this is more than enough, you can apply the difference on a fourth copy. I have been hoping that ' Mrs. Dalton would Inspire someone to have the book reprinted and Instigate other histories from "Our Town" A person has to leave home to to really appreciate It, I think. Nowhere In this whole country have I found a place where people are like "my peaple" when I was a child never in my wildest dreams did I ever think about living anywhere but in Parowan. I wasn't prepared to move when we left there and I never seemed to adjust myself to any other way of life. |
