lie he spent some time polishing the harness till it shone like new ile he borrowed a neighbors buggy and cleaned it likewise then loading in the wife and baby ho he ista started rt on his way on second thought I 1 think one reason for delauny De Del launs aims desire to go in style was the desire to show off his bla first born child a girl gir 1 who had bad not asyet as yet been viewed by her grandparent everyone knows how tx first born child Is IT especially with the father and mother it if you doubt my word just tall fall to properly express appreciation of 0 some of oc relatives first born child to show their stylo style off sooner together gether with their desire to go through the green fields they decided to cut oft off some distance but before they had gone lar they came to a mud hole about a rod wide it was either go through it or else go back quite away and take the long longer erway way rather than be delayed they took a chance but the horses mired up to their shoulders before they hardly got started so delaun had to unhook the tugs and going around to the other side managed to got get the horses out lie he then tied a rope to the end end of 0 th buggy tongue and pulled it through but alas all his handiwork or so BO called style was waa covered with a sticky white mineral clay 1 I guess well go la in style all right v volunteered the wife yes sir re resolved solved delaun at this well go in style yet so when he reached the virgin river ho he pulled oft shoes and stockings and stopping in the river he gave the hores buggy and harness a real cleaning so they went in style after all the next few years year may be passed rapidly over the cox family made their home in Or derville most of the time and eleven of their thirteen child len ilan were born
