Owen Bell was killea when he was about ten years old by being kicked by a horse. Later we took a nephew of mine, Reed Judd, for a few years, who was also an orphan. In 1887, ! started in the sheep business, and gave it close attention. I was away from home a great deal, and this materially increased the responsibility of my wife. Besides the family cares, she has maae more camp quilts, patched more tents anci .horse blankets than all the women of the 33rd Ward of Salt Lake City. She has al·so kept many conference people of the L. D. S., also the M. I. A. missionaries. During the raid on poligamy, she kept an upstairs bedroom for the Stake Presidency ana Apostles whenever they desired to come. Besides this, she kept a young underground woman in an upstairs room for six months, took her her me&ls, took care of her which greatly increased her responsibility. Our children went through the B. Y. U., L. D. S, and the University of Utah and learned to ao all kinds of work. None of them has ever been out of a job. They have all made themselves useful, which is a satisfaction to their parents. Milton H. Sevy was stuaent boay president ana four years later Heber M.
