Show Biography of Sylvester Low Jr. CONTIN UED FROM LAST WEEK CHAPTER THREE This blow was to much for my wife, she wilted and weakened through grief so much that neighbors feared that she would collapse. Bishop Newton Woodruff Wood-ruff interceded with the president presi-dent of the church for my release re-lease which was granted and I returned August 20, 1900. "Time is a great healer" as soon as I could arrange it I took my wife and children on a trip to Star Valley to visit Brother Os and family, we went by team t'was a most enjoyable trip and did much for the health of my wife. After our return I again entered in the employment employ-ment of the dairy company. Then united with the Faust Creamery and Supply Co.; of Salt! Lake City under the new man- agement I was employed and still continued work, until 190G, when the company failed, we went out of business losing all of our investment. in-vestment. I again resumed farm -ing, planted a 3 acre apple orchard south of town as a side line, dairying being the chief product pro-duct on the farm. Bred up a good iierd of Holstein cows which later I sold for a good j price. They were shipped to I Twin Falls, Idaho. I now recorded a few o the many experiences gained as a missionary, traveling without "Purse or Scrip' as was the custom in the early history of the church and was still the practice in the Southern States mission at that time. I was ordained a Seventy and set apart by J. Golden Kimball the 19th of October 1898. Our journey was by train from Salt Lake City to Chattonooga, Tennessee via Cheyenne, Denver, Kansas City, St. Louis, Evansville. A company of Elders 14 in number from Utah, Arizona, and Idaho.
