And all three are natives of Millard county. The mother was born in Fillmore, and came to west Millard Mill-ard as a young pioneer wife. The boys were both born in Deseret, Des-eret, when that was the only settlement set-tlement in west Millard. As they grew up, so did the other settle-merits, settle-merits, and the boys lived in several sev-eral of them. Now the older brother bro-ther is. a Deltan, and has been since 1910. The younger brother was Deltan, but- for many years now has lived farther north. These sturdy lads are second and third in a family that grew to be eight boys and one girl. Now there are six boys, five of them still local citizens. The sister and J brother shown here with the but-toned-up suit are frequent visit- ors, however, and that always J calls for family gatherings and feasting. Now about the older brother, at left, in the picture. He went to Fillmore for high school, LDS university un-iversity for music, and was gradu-i gradu-i ated from U of U normal school in f 1907. After that he taught school Jin Fillmore, Holden and then In Delta in 1910, '11 and '12. Now he is a farmer. The younger brother followed a different pattern, as he would rather carpenter. He puttered a-round a-round the farm a bit, but liked hammer and saw much better. And so for the past 30 years or more has stayed with the carpenter carpen-ter trade. He got valuable experience exper-ience as young fellow helping build some of Delta's first houses. This young pair had fun when they were youngsters. In fact they still do, now that they are grandfathers. grand-fathers. In the summers when they were boys they would fish for carp on the old Sevier lakes below be-low Deseret. They got them by the barrels, full and salted them down to sell. However, they never had a corner on the market, for most every one else was doing the same. Their home was on the river bank and in the winter when it was frozen, these lads often skated skat-ed up the Sevier to Leamington and back. There were no dams then to go around, they just skated skat-ed straight through. But they admit, ad-mit, they used to have to stop at Leamington and rest before tackling tack-ling the 30 mile trip home. |
