The information you brought in concerning the Wightman house was inadvertently placed in the wrong stack and just resurfaced. Please accept my apology for this delay. We have reviewed the information from our files and the material you submitted concerning the house at 410 S. Main in Payson. It is not currently listed in the National Register of Historic Places. While it is a handsome historic building, it may be difficult to successfully nominate the building individual/yto the National Register. It is a good example of Victorian Eclectic house, however, there may be quite a few buildings of this type remaining throughout the city. We do not have enough information about Payson to know how many examples of this particular building style may remain with good historic integrity from the historic period. Included is a description of the National Register program and an article on eligibility. This house may be eligible if an appropriate context (basis for significance) is established, but will require some extensive research. Another possibility is that a multiple property submission be prepared for the National Register of Historic Places. A fact sheet outlining that type of nomination is included. I've included the contact person for the Certified Local Government (CLG) program who should be able to talk with you about historic preservation plans in your community. Also enclosed are a copies of our fact sheets describing the State Rehabilitation Tax Program and answering Frequently Asked Questions about historic preservation. Please give me a call once you've had a chance to look through this information and I will be happy to answer any questions or concerns. Thanks for your interest in the National Register program.

Given by Hyrum Smith, Patriarch of the Church of Jesus Christ December 31,1842 ~ 1HIST U ~Y UF ·,','AYLAN J ~O )GER "';' IGHT ~~A ~,r BY I began writing this history about October 1969 and kept addin~ by leaving a blank pa~e between each filled one and then takin~ it around and asking brothers, sister, relatives and friends for information to r 2dd to it. 'ffayland was born :;:ay 20, 1884 in Payson, utah of foodly ~arents. His father, Joseph Wightrr:an, was born 'in Kirtland, Ohio, and came across the . h an d cart cumnany. ) 1. 1l.-,<.-'_c::._ ., "" '. 1 · ?_a~ns ~n a :' ',:: His mother, Emily Jo!mson ~\i2'h"';man was born in Salt Lake City but came with her parents to Payson. Wayland was the 7th child in the family. His brothers and sisters were JoseDn Alton, ":vali~le Lu8.ell, Emily ~innett , Philo Charles, 'Silliam Javid, Lillian Alice, ~!' artha, Oran Lyn, Dora !\~ ay, Emily Lillian, t'lT artha, lOren, a grandchild iaised by them. Sev~n died as very young children. Their very first house built by /layland's father was located on P;}ain Street in Payson about 5th South. Wayland's father was a caroenter and a mason. Ilis mother's health was rather poor and Wayland said the family of Joseph William 3~tes who lived across the street had a good share in raising him. He would heln them, too, when he grew up. The kids nlayed together and helDed h2..rvest peaches and other things. When he was very small he would go over to the Bates with his clothes in his arms and say, ~Bress me, Batesy." His first school was orobably the First Ward School located at 3rd South and 3rd East in rayson. This was a beginning school and most of the children started at 5 years old. A probable teacher there was Ada Coombs as she taufht quite a few years at this time. The next school was the Central School located at about 295 South Main. At this time, 1969, this school is still standing. It was built in 18R8. _ Wayland's father later built another home at 410 South Main. This was a very nice one. As :,'·ay18.nd grew older he attended the LDS Business College in Salt Lake City. Later he was called on a mission to the Southern States. He left for his mission February 7, 1906 and returned ~ay 30, 1908 after filling an honorable mission. Before he went on his mission, he had crlet Abbie .:ooj and courted Ti er ,..,hen she was .... orl~if1 2· at :-:c..ry Ellf;worth' s. h e corresT)onded \\' i th her \~hile on his mission.. 3he attended EYU while 1112 \ c,f; av,ay .1hen he returned, he again cOt<rted her \ -2and later asked her to marry him. They were married ~ecember 16, 1908, in the Salt Lake Temple. They went to Silver City, a small mining town, to live. Here, Jesse -KniEht had given dad and his brothers Philo and ., Will, a piece of ground to build a store on. They carried this on for quite a while, doing deliveries in a little wagon with horses. Their father helped build the store. They also sold groceries to some of the mines, sending them on the narro~ guage railroad. Papa bought two horses and in the fall would go down to the valley for a winter's supply of potatoes, apples, carrots, ' etc. ,Once when we went, our old Queen, that was a balky horse, balked and wouldn't pull the load at all and Dad had to unload every thine and leave it there until morning when he went back for it • . One thing we did that was especially fun was to go on the steam train to Payson wrere my father's folks lived and stay a week and then on to Spanish Fork to my mother's folks and stay a week every summer. Then we children played train all year. While here in Silver City Wayland bought a dry farm in Tintic and ran it. It wasn't a very profitable prospect. He also kept some cows and milked some and sometimes killed one to eat and sell. He also had two different teams of horses. After awhile, Wayland quit the store and went to work at the mine, but didn't like this work so quit and got a job at the round house for the railroad. \I'l hile there, he mashed his thumb and while layed up with this he had an offer from one of the large mines to be the payroll clerk. This was right where he wanted to be because he'd had a business education, so he accepted the job which he held for several years. Wayland and Abbie were both active in the Church during this time, md Silver City had become quite a thriving town. Wayland was called as a Counselor in the Bishopric under Bishop S. Smith in 1909 and Counselor to Bishop Frank Birch in 1913 to 1917. He became Tintic Stake Clerk in 1917. Abbie served as president of Primary and Relief Society. Five children were born to them in Silver City. They are Rhea May, Ray Wood, Mark Wayland and twins, Gilbert 'tIood and Wallace Joseph. When the twins were only six months old, Abbie was asked to be Relief Society President. She said she would talk it over with her husband and he said she could if they'd have meetine: at night sO he could tend the children. They did so, and he helped out at all times to help her in this calling. The family moved to Payson in 1919. A brother~in-Iaw, Dave Shuler, had offered Wayland a job as book keeper at the Ford garage in Payson, - ' - ~~ . ""- -3which Dave owned. Abbie had felt bad about trying to grnw things. We children would ask, "Do strawberries grow in trees~' & '''Do cherries grow on bushes?" so my parents felt that we children were missing alot, living in the dry mining town and it would be better down in Payson. So in June 1919 we left the mining town of Silver City and the dry farm at Tintic and moved to Payson. Waylc:.nd began purchasing the house my Grandfather had built at 416> South r.r:ain. For awhile they rented part of the house and Wayland's parents lived in part of it. Wayland and Abbie and we children were always' so proud of this horne. Some years later Vlayland went into the merchantile business and ran a small store on the east side of Main Street at about 4S South. He called it the '\-iellworth Store and was quite successful. Abbie helped as she had worked in the Oran Lewis Store in Spanish Fork as a girl and helped alot. \'layland continued his Church activity in Payson and was chosen YMMIA President in 1919. He also taught in Sunday School the same year. He served, also, on the Stake Board of MIA. He and Abbie worked very faithfully in the Church. She was chosen President of YLMIA and later as a counsS4r in Primary. Two more children were born to them in Payson. They are Grant Fuller and Doramae. The family were all so pleased with the baby and Do ramae, the girl,was a special t~eat after five boys. Wayland and Abbie loved attending leadership at BYU and enjoyed the classes there and the social dancing. In January 1924 there was quite an epidemic around and they had been helping take care of Grandmother in Spanish Fork. Abbie contr.acted pneumonia and after a week's illness, died, leaving Wayland alone with his seven children. This was surely a tragedy in his life for he loved his dear, sweet wife very much. She was such a l~vely Mother, too. He was determined to keep his family together, though, and with the help of his mother, and mostly his mother's sisters, Aunt Sis and Aunt Hannah, he was able to do this. I was the eldest and was 14 when Mother died, so could do alot to help out. Aunt Sis would come each morning as I went to school and take care of Grant and Doramae and do most of the work. Aunt Han would help with mending and also Aunt Lucy, my Grandmother's sister-in-law. In 1927 \\'ayland was elected City Recorder and he held the job until 1933. Part of the time he kept the store but finally had to close the , store as it wasn't making enough. -4He was chosen Stake Chairman of the Genealogical Society in 1925 and attended to that duty very faithfully, going to the Temple and doing a great lot of Temple Work, and taking others with him to the Temple. In 1928 he met a lovely lady named Laura Callister who was a worker at the Temple. .She had never married. I met her once before I was married. In November 1928 I got my engagement ring and Papa said I couldn't stay home and wear it Sp I left and stayed away a week at my friend, Fern Page's place just a block away. Delos, my engaged husband, had to give me some money :to go t ,o school as I planned to finish the semester. Then Papa came and said I could come home but I don't think he thought I should get married and he never really gave his consent • . But we were married in the Salt Lake Temple December 18, 1928, and went to California on our honeymoon. We got work and stayed three months. Papa didn't write to us and kept going with Laura and though she knew it took great responsibility, she accepted his proposal and they were married in April 1929. Laura was a Wondert~l person and they fixed the house all up nice and she became a wonderful mother to the children. Doramae was so youn~ when Mother died, she never knew a mother. Laura loved her and sewed for her and also made shirts for the boys, and filled the home with love and beauty and Wayland was very happy. In 1930 Wayland was chosen 2nd Couselor to John F. Olsen, the Bishop, and later 1st Counselor. In 1936 he was chosen Stake President of Nebo Stake. He was set apart for thi~ office by Apostle Steven L. Richard~, and served faithfully for about eight years. They were alway~ proud to have the General Authorities to dinner. During this time, they remodeled the Semine.ry Buildinc: and ':layland played a big part in this and was responsible for getting workers to help besides himself. His counselors sorta balked at the job. But ":iayland had a dream and saw how it should be and they made it that way and everyone was glad. He played mother and father to the c.hildren in many ways and was good to them and taught them to work. He had a small farm in the river bottoms in Benjamin which he later ~old and bought a pece in Payson back of the SUb-station there. The ground was part of Nother's inheritance. One year in the bottorr.s, we raised bush beans and some of us children helped pick. Ly Uncle lived there. In his later years, :': ayland took up farmine; his dry farm in Tintic. This seemed to be more of a hobby than anything. He loved to . farf.1. Ee didn't raise any cropf: out there on this 2nd venture, but enjoyed it. He bought a CaterpillRr from Uncle Dave Shuler and used that. -5He was always willing to work on the ';\'elfare Farm for the Church. and enjoyed that. He raised some pigs and some sheep and kept a cow n.ost of his life. He always seemed happy when he came home to milk and feed the cow and would whistle and sing. Wayland worked as a bookkeeper for Dr. Asa L. Curtis for some years and when they built the Payson HQspital. he became the first manager and set up the bookkeeping system and did alot of work to keep it going. He seemed to make it almost a . career~ Some of the patients were victims of accidents from out of the state and they n~ver forgot his kindness to them. some of them sending gifts in appreciation of his kindness. In his later years he worked at selling fire insurance and other kinds. And he filled out income tax returns. Many people came for his help in this. He was sought after by the w,hole family as a religious counselor. His cousins, aunts, uncles. brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews always felt he could help them. The last eight years of Ris life he ee~ed a Temple Mission. He died in Payson cf a cerebral hemorrage on March 9. 1958. ' He was 73 yrs. 9 months. 17 days old. When I was writing this history I visited my brother, "iallace, in California and took the book and left it and told him to write something and send it back. He wrote his testimony and good feelings about his Father. He filled a mission in North Carolina when yeung and since the time I received this he and his wife have filled a mission in Pittsbur~. They are dedicated people. I think all of us in the family have a testimony of the Gospel. HISTORY OF ABBIE WOOD WIGHTMAN Written by a daughter Rhea May Wightman Huff Abbie Wood Wightman was born in Spanish Fork, Utah County, Utah; March 29 March 1885. Her parents were Wellington Wood and Susannah Warner vVood. She was their seventh child: She was christened by George D. Suell the 4th 01 June 1885 and baptized when eight years old, July 6, 1893, by ARM. Beck and confirmed by Henry Gardner. Her brothers and sisters were Susannah Evaline, Wellington, Sophronia Nora, Violet, Sabina, Adelaide and Sarah Jane. Susannah, Sabina, Adelaide and Sarah Jane all died when very young. Her Father married her l'l1other's sister, Mary Elizabeth, and lived in Polygamy. Her half brothers and sisters were: William Daniel, James Morris, Mary Dorcas, Geneva and Amos Benoue. They all got along well together and none knew to which wife the children belonged. Abbie's mother was qUite sickly and people would bring her fish because she could eat them. When Abbie was qUite small she was good at picking the bones out since she often got to share them with her mother. She loved fish. When Abbie was seven years old her mother died and Mary became mother to them all and treated them all very impartially. Abbie loved her. Her father, Wellington, was a farmer and ran a thresher for many years. He also started one of the first creamelies in Spanish Fork and made and sold butter. Abbie helped on the farm and arose early each morning and milked and fed cows. Her father always made them get up about five o'clock even if they had been out late the night before to a dance. Sometimes the dances lasted until two o'clock in the morning. Abbie loved music and wished she could take piano lessons. She watched her sister Geneva play until she learned her favorite pieces. Abbie attended grade school in Spanish Fork. Three of her teachers were Agnes Lewis, Hubbard Tuttle and Israel Hayes. Later she worked in the Oran Lewis Store. She and Fern Lewis were the best of friends and worked together in the store. She also worked for Aunt Mary Elsworth in Payson, who had an ice cream business and later at the Wightman Hotel in Payson. Abbie was quite afraid of lightening as a neighbor of theirs used to tell awful stories about people getting stru.ck vvith lightening when Abbie was very young and she fought this fear all her life. Abbie attended school in Provo at the BYU Academy. She lived in Provo and loved it there where the mountains were so nea:-. She loved nature and all growing things. -2- She met Wayland Rogers Wightman from Payson and went with him a while and then he was called on a Mission to North Carolina. She corresponded with him while he was on his mission and this was while she was attending the BYU. She also met and went with a fellow named Straun Robertson who she thought a lot of but when Wayland came home from his mission he asked her to malTY him and she accepted. She was a deeply religious girl and proud to accept the offer of this returned missionary. Wayland was working with his brother Philo running a store in Silver City, Juab County, Utah which was a thriving little mining town at this time--1908. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple by John R. Winder, December 16, 1908 and went to Silver City to live. Here their first five of seven children were born. Rhea May, November 4, 1909; Roy Wood, May 31, 1912; Mark Wayland, March 5, 1914: and twins, Gilbert Wood and Wallace Joseph born October 81916. They both enjoyed working in the Church in Silver City. Wayland served as Counselor in the Bishopric and Abbie as President of the Primary and Relief Society. When the twins were only eight months old with three other small children the Bishop asked her to be Relief Society President. It looked like a huge task and she said she'd have to talk it over with her husband. When she told Wayland about it he said she could do it if they would hold the meetings at night so he could tend the children. So they did this and he tended them other nights too while she took care of the business of the organization. Wayland worked in the mines for a little while but didn't care for this and later was offered a job as payroll clerk for Tintic Standard Mines and this was just what he wanted as he had attended the LD.S. Business Conege. He made good wages at this but after several years Abbie kept thinking of the green Central Utah Vaney and how much the children were missing by not knowing about groVving things. Each summer they would spend two weeks down in the valley. One week in Payson visiting Wayland's folks and one week in Spanish Fork visiting her folks. We children always looked forward to these trips usually going by steam train which was always a thrill. In 1919 a brother-in-law to Wayland, Dave Shuler, offered him a job as Bookkeeper, for the Ford Garage in Payson and though it was less wages, Abbie wanted to leave the dry mining town so they moved to Payson and started buying the old Wightman Family Home at 410 South Main from Wayland's father. The family was always proud of this home built by Wayland's father. At Payson two more children were born: Grant Fuller, September 26, 1919 and Doramae, September 14, 1921. All the family was glad to have another girl after five boys. -3- Abbie was always interested in feeding her family properly with things that were good for their health and in doing those things necessary to keep them feeling well. She had a good friend in Silver City, a Dr. Jessie Brydson who was a Scotch lady. She was a good nurse and helpEd out many times in illnesses and had many good remedies which Abbie used to keep the family well. This friendship continued after the family moved to Payson. She gave vVallace his name when the twins were born. • Abbie also taught the children the Gospel and read to them and told them stories, she had great love for her family. In Payson Abbie continued to work in the Church and served as President of the Y.L.M.I.A in Payson 2nd Ward. She also served as counselor in the Primary and in the Relief SOCiety PreSidency. She and her husband were always interested in improving themselves and attended the Leadership Week at the BYU every year. They also enjoyed the social dancing there. Abbie was very attractive with gray eyes and dark brown hair weighing about 1251bs. She had great love for her family and everyone and often took bouquets of flowers to friends and neighbors. She loved flowers and was always thoughtful and kind to everyone. In January of 1924 Abbie became ill with pneumonia and after a week of illness passed away on January 13, 1924. She died at the family home surrounded by her husband, brothers and sisters and many dear friends. Every medical and spiritual effort was used to prolong her life. She died full of faith and the hope of a glorious resurrection. Funeral services were held in the Nebo Stake Tabernacle, the building was nearly full. Her grave was completely covered with many lovely flowers. "She was a noble and true wife to her husband, and ideal mother and a real daughter of God." The last words in quotations were written in the family record book by her husband, Wayland who loved her with all his heart. At one time in their lives they were called for a special ann ointing in the Holy of Hollies in the Salt Lake Temple. It was a great desire of hers to live to raise her family but since she was such a faithful wonderful person she surely must have had an important work to do in heaven and I'm sure she appreciated the lovely lady who came into our home la~er and was such a good mother to the children. -4- Everyone who knew Abbie loved her and respected her. She had a wonderful sweet personality and was always kind and good. One year at the Christmas program she was picked to be the Madonna and everyone said she certainly was a fitting person to be the Madonna. : CHARLES IHI.r.TN(~S 'It' WJ.(;II'n'flN, KNOWN fI(~ TIII\ t1(l~T "IH11I1:" nAN IN nr :\T1 1:0. ~ ., ,,, . :\ II '~i \l In hjs vc;ut h ?: ~=? \~.

My father's parents were Charles Billings Wightman and Mary Dixon Wightman. My greatgranparents were Joseph (first) and Amy Shou1s Wightman, both buried in Kirtland, Ohio. The roads there in. those days were very poor, rough and dusty in the summer and very muddy in the spring and fall. We used to make it to town occasionally in the winter with bob sleds. There was a little narrow guage railroad up Spanish Fork Canyon then and how the train would frighten our horses; Father always had a spirited team and when he heard the train coming he would have us all get out and he would tie the lines to the brake and then he would get get hold of their bits and we never had worse than a good scare. My earliest recollections were of living on a ranch in Thistle Valley, which my father purchased in 1874 from Charles Cox from San Pete Co. The ranch is now known as the pines. A D & R G rr switch is on the ranch. There was just a little log cabin on the place when we moved on, b~t father.soo~ built a nice little frame 3 room house. Our faml1y at thlS tlme consisted of Father, Mother, my older brother,Joe, my sister, Eva, and myself. My brother, Will, was born Nov. 21, 1879. The family endured many hardships during their stay there roads were poor, the winters were very severe. The valley was populated mostly by indians and a few ranchers. My mother and us kids were in mortal fear of indian~, although, as a rule, they were harmless but very arrogant and ove~­ bearing when the men folks were away. I rem~mber on~ nlght my father was in town and mother was alone w~th us klds. There was a small indian village about two mlles above our ranch and in the night we were awakened by the most blood curdling indian yells I ever heard. We expected to be killed and scalped any minute, but the noise soon quieted down and we heard the next day that the indians were having a pow-wow and a sort of religious rites they hold after the sick to drive away evil spirits. The sick girl was Connie Santaquin who usedto play with my sister, Eva. She got better this time, but later died and was buried in a gulch about a mile from our house. My sister mourned the death of her little Indian girl companion for a long time. \ I remember one day our house caught on fire, Father was away, and Joe and I were just small kids and no help. The walls of our house were 1i ned by factory and was a 11 on fi re. My mother ran in the house and tore down all the cloth on the walls and by some super human effort ,put out the fire, but her hands and arms were badly burned. Another time I remember was when Will was about a year and a half old. He had crept out towards the barn and I saw him poking at something with a stick. I ran out and a great big rattle snake was coiled and ready to strike. I called Mother and Joe, and they came out and killed it. My father had by this time accumulated a nice little bunch of cattle, mostly Jersey heifers and things looked very promising although the summer had been rather dry and the hay crop was none too good. The following winter was known as the hard winter of 1881. Cold weather set in early and the result was we ran out of feed before the winter was half over. The ranch was snowed in and Father had to see his whole herd die--al1 except one milk cow and his team. Discouraged and disillusioned, he sold out and moved back to Payson. 1 I remember well of moving back to ,the little home where was born--a log house, weather barded, but it was home to us--and we were happy. My father leased the Huish farm, a track of land about two miles south of tOl. . n. He owned a small farm adjo'ining the Huish place. I, after many years came into possession of this small farm and started in the silver fox business, afterwards selling out to A. J. Robbins. I cleared about $15,000 of this deal. The place is now known as the Mt. Nebo Fox Farms~ at this writing. Mr. Robbins still owns the place and is doing very well. A friend of his leased him a good corner on Third South and University Ave, Provo, and in the fall of 1890 he opened a meat market there by launching a business career for most of his family. I started working in the market about 1892 and soon became a fairly good meat cutter. I went to school at the old B Y Academy the wi nter of 1893 and 1894. I worked in the market after school and on Saturdays. I enjoyed school very much and became somewhat religious, IIbe1ieve it or not. The influence in the school has stayed with me ever since and I · have never once doubted the truth of the gospel of the divinity of the mission of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young. 1I Father ran the Huish farm for a number of years and did fairly well. In the meantime my parents had seven more children, 4 of which died when very yo ung. Minnie died at the age of three. Oran died at the age of about five (1888-1891). Eva married Will Harper and had five children, all of which survived. Eva died of child birth when her only son, Oran, was born. Now back to the time between moving back to Payson and starting in business in Provo. I ,started in school at the age of six; my frist teacher, as I recall, was Louie? Pace, my next Ida Coombs, then Anna Page, then Miss Berlin at the Presbyterian mission school. Then Ida Coombs again, then Charles Wright, then John Finlayson, then Frank Fairbanks, then D. H. Christensen. After D. H. , I went to the B.Y.U. --Benjamin Cluff, George Brimhall, Mr. Woolf, Wm. Ry1dah?, Y. Bean and others too numerous to mention were teachers. My brother, Joe, married Lois Greene and had six children, three of which died in infancy. Joe died in 1926 and Lois died in 1942. Two boys, Alton and Lynn, and one girl, Ruth, survived. After my father gave up the Huish ranch, 'he was elected city marshall and served several years as such. In the meantime, He built the large brick home on the corner of Main and Sixth South Street . It is now owned by the Braxton Barnett family . My father was a very good mechanic and carpenter. After his term as city marshall ended, he went to Provo and worked at the carpenter trade, mostly on the left wing of the State Mental Hospital. The frist money I remember earning was for herding cows in the canyon and the foot hills south of Payson. Arthur and Rube? Ellsworth; Silas, Parley and Jess Tanner were co-herders with me. We got 15¢ per head per week for herding the cows and we would make two or three dollars per week, which was a fortune for a kid in those days . There was quite an extent. He had a man working for him by the name of Billie Pangborn, that i.nduced him to open a branch in Colton, of as it was called then,P. Junior? He opened up to a right good business and Father went south and bought 150 head of southern fat cows and 3¢ for the steers, live weight. This sounds now like a very low price, but at that, as things turned out, the deal broke him and caused him to lose his home. At this time Father had accumulated about fifty head of good range cattle and as the market was none to good, he decided to build a meat market and sellout his own cattle. Shortly after he bought these cattle, the bottom fell out of the boom and business in provo went haywire and to cap it all, Billie Pangburn, who was managing the Colton got to gambl- My sister, Dora, Married Dave Shuler and had three boys, Howard, Marvel, and Keith. Marvel was accidentally killed by an auto when he was nine years old. 2 " ing and sold out the stock and fixtures and skipped with about $900. The next day I rode her up to my Uncle Charlie Wightman's place about four miles above the Wilson place. The next day I rode her home. I will never forget the look in Dad's eyes when he saw us; he just couldn't believe it, and believe me, the was never left unlocked again. This left us with 150 head of wild southern cattle to winter; hay was high and these cattle had never been feed hay and they naturally fell off in flesh, and a10t of them had to be turned on the range, the next spring, some of which drifted back to their southern range, some we never got a t all . Before we moved from Thistle Valley to Payson, I remember seeing my dad, Brooks Fairbank~, and kill a bunch of deer just above the canyon a few hundred yards from our house. Another time my dad told my mother to put on the and in a short time he would have a nice mess of fish for breakfast, and believe me, he had them for a food fish breakfast, The consequences were that Father couldn't pay the and he had mortgaged his home and little farm to secure the notes. About this time, my little brother, Oren, died, which almost brok e my parents hearts. After the bad luck Father had in Provo, he decided to move the market to Payson, so he bought a frame building and lot next to the Simon's block and opened a market. My father was always a fanicer of fine horses and he owned at this time six head of fine horses. A disease got among the horses in provo and five of them died and the sixth, a fine trotting mare, that had been raised and trained, disappeared from the corral and for a long time, we thought some one had stolen her. She disappeared in the spring and that fall I had gone up to Will Dawdle's sheep herd to spend a few days with my cousin, Jac k Dawdle. He was camped right where the cabins home was built forty-five years later. I heard while there that there was a sorrel mare that a new red the description of OUI~ mare, running with a bunch of wild horses up on top of the Benny Crick side of the ridge. In the meantime, I had been offered and exccepted a job herding sheep out on the La Sell mountains cast of Moab, for my uncle ~Jill Dowdle. It was a wild and wooly country, inhabited by Indians, outlaws, cowpunchers, sheepherders, and would-be-toughs. I spent the summer of 1894 there and to save what money I :,had made, I beat my way home on the RGW RR. Quite an experience for a kid. I hadn't much hope of it's being our mare, but I went down where the bunch of horses were and imagine my surprise and elation to find that it was truly our mare. I had no rope of anything to hold her with even if I could catch her; however, I spoke to her and tri~d to get up to her, but the other horses became frightened and took down a trail toward C1 I fol10\ved them and kept them going until they came out on a flat near Charlie and Fred Wilson's ranch (no\,1 owned by Jack Oberhausly). I got Charly and fred to help me corral them. I borrowed a bridle and had no trouble catching the mare. Although she had never been ridden before I borrowed a saddle and I rode her around the corral a few times. Correction here--before I went to work in the market after returning from Moab, I worked a month for Bill and Jess Miles, herding sheep on Loafer Mountain. While on this job, I had a very unusal experience for a boy of 17 years. There were three of us started out to beat our way home: Frank Page, Roll York, and myself. We got seperated the frist night out but I beat them both home by two or three days. Well I went right to work in the market and we did very well and three years later we built the brick block I now own, and is known as the O. P. Skaggs Building. At this time there was several herds of sheep in Payson Canyon and we used to visit each others camp in the daytime. 3 A few days before Winivard died he told Jesse Miles and me that he had saved a few hundred dollars and was going to use it to file on a piece of 1and known as the Clark Springs, where Genola is now located. We thoughtno more of it until some two years after his death, Geo Todd, who had worked with Fred in the harness shop of George William's got a letter from Fred's folks in England asking him if he knew the people that were with Fred the last few days of his life, as he had told them in a letter that he had this money and no trace of it could be found. One day, Jesse Miles and I rode over to George William's camp near the reservoir; Frank Coombs and a man by the name of Fred Winivard had been at the camp for some time. Mr. Winivard having gone up there for his health as he was suffering from TB. It happened to be the 4th of July and Frank had gone to town for the celebration leaving Winivard there alone. When Jesse and I reached his camp we found him dead as a mackeral and terribly fly-blown. We cleaned him up as best we could and Jesse lit out for town to get help in getting the body home, leaving me alone with the corpse. I didn't relish the idea very much ,but there was not else we could do. That year the roads up the canyon were all washed out and it was impossible to get a vehicle of any kind up where we were without going around the Spanish Fork Canyon and up from the Thistle Valley side; consequently, it was nearly morning before Frank Ballard, Dave Mitchell and Jesse Miles got up to us with a white top buggy. Mr. Todd wrote themand told them that the folks that were with him last were above suspicion. So that was the last we ever heard of Fred or his folks. But 25 years later when workmen were tearing up the foundations of the William's building where Fred had worked. Th~ building which adjions my property ' had burned down years before and workmen were cleaning up the remains to make room for the Knowls Building {now occupied by J.C. Penny Co.}, they found an old can with some $600 in $20 gold pieces. No one ever claimed it, but I feel quite sure that the money in the can belonged to Fred Winivard. However, in that case it ,was "Finder Keepers", I was sure glad to see them for it was kind of spooky sitting up all night alone with a dead man and a howling dog. I had amused myself most of the afternoon carving names on the Aspenx trees; I had carved Winivard's name, date of birth, and death on a big tree just in front of the tent. Forty years later I went back there and found the tree with the craving still legible. Joe Barnett was with us and knew exactly where the tree was. The tree has since been removed in making a road to the recreation centre just above the Box Reservoir; other trees near there still have my name craved in them. Well by this time Father had the market ready so I started in business with Dad, which ,lasted until 1935. Father retired in 1902 and sold out the stock to a Charles Six. He leased the building for two years and I worked for him as market manager. At the end of two years, he sold out to William Miles and Isaac Hansen. I continued on with them for about two years when I bought them out and have owned the building and fixtures up to this writing. My diversion and hobby all these years was hunting and fishing. There was a group known as the Strawerry bunch who used to go to Strawberry Valley every June fishing. In those days we had to get a permit from Washington to fish there as it was then an Indian reservation controlled by the US Gov't. Here are a few name of the parties that used to make the trip: George Peery, Orson and John Daniels, Dave Barnett, Dan Pack, Well there was an old cabin near where Winivard was camped, we tore up the floor and made a large box and we just picked up the body, bedding and all and put it in the box and loaded it in the white top and they left for town just as it was getting day-light. 4 /" 1 Albert and Alvin McClellan, George Amos, Jcie Page, Ed McBeth, Thorn Reece, Newell White, ,John Lant, Eph Coombs, Dr. L. D. Stewart, John Provstgaard, Eugene Pulver & I. We were a sorry crowd that night, all our beddind andsupplies were soaked our harnesses all cut up, our horses bruised and lame. We built a big bonfire and dried our clothes and bedding as best we could, and we really had a nice trip after all. A little humor was injected into the ~ accident. The Most of this crowd made the trip June 14 every year for over 20 years, and we always came back with very good catches. I remember one year we brought back over 500 pounds of trout and sold enough tb the Osford Cafe in Eureka pay all our ~ expenses. On one of these trips I had a very narrow escape from death. We had a four horse team and wagon, two saddle horses and a white top. The roads were very steep going over the Strawberry Ridge and we had a very hard pull to get over. PAGE 10 MISSING We were the ftfst outfit that had gone over this road that spring and the roads on the Strawberry side were very narrow and sideling. I was very tired and was riding on top of the wagon on some bedding. We were going down Indian Creek and the road in some places ran very close to the creek \'/hich was rather high. All at once the wheels next to the creek cut though the loose dirt and the wagon tipped over ahd landed up-side-down in the water--horses and all. They were on their backs all tangled up in their harnesses, which had to be cut all to pieces to get the horses out. I was in the bottom of the creek pinned under the wagon. One hand was loose and I began feeling up the stream to get hold of a bush or something so I could pull myself upsteam .. Fortunately I had presence of mind to hold my breath and not get get water in my lungs. Just as I caught hold of a willow and began pulling myself upstream, John Daniels saw my hand and jumped in the water and pulled me up :free of the wagon. The bottom of the creek where I landed was narrow and the wagon just made a bridge over me and kept the weight off me. I was unhurt except for a few cuts and bruises. The other boys on the wagon jumped when the wagon started to tip over. 5 with her. (1 hope she does not read this) I would hate to get her conceited after all these years. " r in one play 1 was supposed to get shot and as I fall I say "Hy God. I'm shot!" Well the blank cartridges were loaded with powder and soap, the soap being rather hard it went right through my clothing and in my leg; I could feel it sting. I fell. saying, "My God. I am shot!" It sounded very funny and turned a tragic ending of the act into a comedy. Another time, I remember a scene with Frank Finlayson. wherein he has delirious tremens, commonly called 'snakes'. In his ravings--and by the way, it is a real piece of acting when done right. He winds up the scene by handing me a gun and says, "Oh. Mr. Howard, if you have any compassion, take thi s gun and kill me and avenge the wrong I have done you." Then my line was, taking the gun, 1 say."No, I wouldn't have your blood on my hands." Well the scene went fine the first performance. but when we played in Benjamin, Frank came out and went through the ; scene all right, but when it came for the line about the gun. I c~u1 d tell by the look on hts face tha t he had forgotten the gun. Frank was always good at ad1ibbing, so he put his hand on his hip and said, "Oh. Mr. Howard, if 1 had a gun, I would give it to you and tell you to kill me and a venge the wrong 1 ha ve done you." Well, you can see what kind of a fix I was in, but 1 adlibbed a little myself and said, ,"No, I wouldn't do it even if you had a gun." Well the crowd back stage got such a kick out of it, that they called it the best part of the show. I will now list a number of plays 1 was in during the time from 1896 to about 1934. Our farewell performance was, I think. "Hazel Kirk". in which 1 played the part of the old miller. Dunston Kirk. I had previously played the comedy part of Pittrons Green. The cast for this last performance of "Hazel Kirk". as 1 remember was: Dunston Kirk-P.C. Wightman. his wife Nellie Schaerrer, Hazel Kirk-Marie Huber, Pittrens Green-Stan Wilson. Other parts were played by Karl Huish. Sherman Loveless, Erma Patten, and Hazel Gardner. Other plays I worked in during those years that I recall: "The Silver Li ni ng". "My Pa rtner", "Tess. or Beyond the Rockies". "Fi rm C1 i ffl'. "The Convi cts' s Daughter", "The Nomi nee". "Comrades". "Jack O'Diamonds", "A Broken Heart", written by Karl Huish. "Guy Manning", "Mary Price". "The Pride of the Market", "May Blossom". "Sowing the Wind". "Drifted Apart", "The Rio Grand", "The Pri de of the Ba 11". "The Dead Witness". "Lend Me Fi ve Shillings". "Smooth as Silk". "Jerry, the Outcast", "The Galley Slaves", "The Young Mrs. Winthrop':. A few of the players I have played with were: Archie Graham, Frank Shoridan. who afterwards became a broadway star--leading man for the famous Lillian Russel and later a promtnent character actor in Hollywood. Frank Finlayson, James A. Daniels. Karl Huish, Frank Huish, Joseph Huish, Fred Huish, Orson Huish, George Stark.

Enos Simons, Donna Simons, Anna Neilson. Cora Fairbanks, John Quigly, Liggie Archibald, Kirk Decker. Karl Huish tells one about playing a little town down south. They were billed to play that night, but were late getting into town. It was raining but they decided to put on the play, anyhow. Well. they got all made up and 10 and behold just one man came out Karl said they needed a' rehearsa1. anyhow, so they decided to go on with the play. The manager went out before the curtain and announced that inasmuch as lone customer had come out through the rain. that they would go on with the play for his special benefit; whereupon the man arose and said. "Well for hell's sake get going. for 1 am the Janitor and I wou1 d 1ike to get home." Well I could write page after page of funny things like these that happened in most every performance, but you really have to be in them to see the ludicrous side of them. Now back to our domestic 1ife. Most of our Plays were staged in the old opera house first, and then taken to the surrounding towns. We always enjoyed getting up these plays, perhaps more than our audiences did in seeing them. However we usually had excellent turn outs; sometimes we made a little money for ourselves, but they were usually gotten up for civic or church charities. There is always funny and ludicrous things come up in these amateur performances to keep you laughing long after the play has been forgotten. I remember Immediately after our marriage we moved into the Senior residence, the corner now occupied by Crump's Garage. We rented two rooms for which we paid $5 per month. Dad and Mother fitted us out with enough furniture to get by with. Our first child, Erma. was born there Oct. 3, 1897 and was we the proud Papa and Mama. 6 We sure thought we had .not only the /prettiest but :the:smartestkid ever born. Soon after Erma was born, we moved to the residence then owned by Mrs. Budge, later owned by Dr. C.J. Fi1son~ This was the summer of .1898. We built our store building and after this was finished we moved upstairs and lived there 2 or 3 years. Our second daughter, Florence, was born there, Oct. 13, 1898. We were now the proud parents of two little girls and my dad was beginning to see the need of us getting a home of our own and the necessity of us getting off Main Street to raise our faimi1y. So, with his help and advice, we purchased the lot between 3rd and 4th South and Main Street and built the home now owned by Darrell Brown. In this home, which we thought then was about the swellest little home intown, our other four children ' were born, Ned L., born Oct. 13, 1904, Della Mae, born June 18, 1907, Ralph Dean, born June 22, 1909, and Burnis Wright, born Aug. 24, 1913. Our frist great sorrow was the death of our daughter, Della, who died July 18, 1922, after suffering terribly 'f or three weeks 'of sinus trouble. Thi s grea t loss caused us to think more of religious things, so we decided to go to the temple and be married and have our ,endowments and our minor chi1dern sealed to us,which we did Sept. 21, 1922. In the spring of 1908, after I had been in business for myself about 3 years, Uncle Jesse Knight, mi11ionare mining man of Provo and owner of the Colorado Back Tunnel, Iron Blossom, Dragon Iron mines and the Eureka Hill R.R. decided to build a smelter at Silver City, he laid out a town site and offered my cousin, Joe Reese and me,:our choice of lots free if we would build and operate a supple store. Joe had some money he had made in the mining game and suggested we go in together and build a store building and operate a general supply store. We selected the lot and ordered a car load of lumber sent up and hired John H. Barnett and his two boys, Owen and George to go up and build a two story building, 8 rooms above and store room below, and basement foe storage. When completed, we furnished the 8 rooms above and rented them, which brought us in a very good revenue. When the building was about ~ finished, we hired another man by the name of Olley Smith to go to Silver City to help the Barnetts complete the building. After Smith had been working a couple of weeks, his wife, Ladisa Smith, came up to spendLthe week end with her husband, who was batching. Smith took Sunday off to spend with his wife. They started out to take a little stroll over the old mining dumps. They called at Joe McMurphy's residence and while Mrs. Smith was talking to Mrs. Murphy, Smith strolled over an old mining dump and disappeared from sight. Mrs. Smith waited an hour of two and then became alarmed and notified the shirriff's office, who immediately instituted a a search which lasted two days and nights without results. TNe sherriff called me on the phone and told me of his disappearence and asked if he had drawn any money, thinking, perhaps he had just decided to disappear. I told him he had not, so they continued the search, finally finding a recent break though an old abandoned bulkhead and on investigating, found Smith's body several hundred feet down the shaft. It was impossible to get the body out of the shaft as the old ladders were rotted away and no one would volunteer to go down the shaft. However, there was an old miner there by the name of Carrier, who remembered and old drift or tunnel that was drivenyears before from Swanzee shaft to the Picnic, which was the name of the mine that Smith had fallen in. So a couple of miners volunteered to crawl through the drift and try to get the body out of the way. They finally reached the body which was terribly mangled, and strapped it on a board and dragged it though to the Swanzee shaft and was hoisted to the surface. This tragedy cast quite a gloom over us all, and I felt bad because I was responsible for Smith's being there. The knight smelter was completed about Sept. 1, 1908 and put into operation. . Our store was completed, stocked, and opened Oct. 1, 1908. About this time my brother, W.R. Wightman, who had just completed a i mission for the L.D.S. Church in the southern states, came home and we offered him a job as store manager, whish he accepted. Things :went very well for a while; our business increased fast. We had furnished the 8 rooms upstairs and had them all rented and we were making good money. About this · time some Austrians from Murray came to Silver and bu1it a large saloon building and were preparing to build a large supply store. Now at this time a large percentage .of the laborers at the smelter and mines were Austrians and bohunks and we were just a little afraid if they got started in the same line of business, we might not do so well. We had also heard a rumor to the effect that the smelter was not paying so well and that there was a possibility that it might close down. We were worring some about the gloomy prospects when our Austrian friends came down and made us a flattering offer to buy us out. ' Under the circumstances, we were not long in deciding to accept their offer which was $8,000 for the building and fixtures. Terms: $2,000 down and $1,000 per month. They paid us the payment and two monthly instalments when the smelter closed down and they folded up and turned the business back to us. Uncle Jesse Knight felt ' rather bad about how everything had turned out and offered to allow us to handle his payroll for the mines and R.R. if we could continue on with the business. This was a big protection and asset so we accepted and continued with the business till about 1917. 7 r My brother, Will and Florence finally at the age of about 60 years struck a winner. After many heart-breaking failures and disappointments, they traded some property and got a hold of a nice little corner store at 8th South and 6th East in S.L.C . , which proved to be a very profitable investment and by close team work, they made a nice little stake. However poor Will did not live to enjoy the fruits of their labors, as he sicken and died on the 8th of Feb., 1944. Thiswas one of the hardest blows I ever had, although at this time I had seen my fathers mother, and 8 brothers and sisters pass away. My older brother, Joe, died in 1926 of at the age of 56. This was a hard blow to me as I had always loved my older brother, Joe, although I had never been close to him and his wife, Lois, as we had been to Will and Florence. Soon after we left Silver Cityand moved the stock and fixtures to Payson, I began to work into the cattle business~ buying, selling, and feeding cattle, hogs, and sheep. When we opened the store in Silver City, we hired Lee Loveless to go up and cut meat for us. This was the begining of a business association and friendship which continued for over 25 years, until his death in 1949. He married Jennie Miles shortly after going to work for us. His whole fami1y,consisting of 3 girls and 2 boys were born while Lee was with us. Jennie preceeded Lee in death about one year. I was honored by the family in being asked to speak at his funeral. I loved Lee and Jennie and family like my own kin. My brother, Wayland, was also married to Abby Wood while working at Silver City, about the same time as Lee and Jennie \vere. About 1917 most of the mines around Silver City closed down and the business was no longer profitable, so we closed the business and moved the stock down to the store in Payson and sold the building to Heffman and Thompson, who operated a branch store there for awhile. They sold the building later to McIntyre Bro's. My brother, Hill, went up to worked for them for awhile. While he was working for them, the building burned down so that wasthe last of our Sil~er City adventure. I did very well at this game for a good many years, made good money and really liked the business in connection with the meat and grocery. In 1924 I sold out my stock of goods to Joe Reese and leased him the building and fixtures for two years at $100 per month. We then moved to Salt Lake City and bought us a nice home on Hubbard Ave. for $6,000. We lived in Salt Lake about 3 years. In the next time, I bought another home on 9th South 3rd East just as an investment. In 1926 Jos. Reese decided to retire from business and move to Los Angeles. This made it necessary for us to move back to Payson and take back the business, so we traded the p1ac on 9th South for the Fern Gray residence we now occupy (197 E. 1st N., Payson). We rented the place on Hubbard Ave. but continued to own it until 1944 when I sold it for $5,100. Although we had acquired several buildings there which we tore and shipped the material to Payson and built four nice little residences which I later deeded . to our four living childern. They have since sold them and acquired other places. They are still reminders of our days in Silver City. After leaving Silver City, Lee came to Payson and continued to work for me until shortly before his death. My brother Will, worked with me also most of those years. However he made several ventures of his own operating a market for a while in Goshen and later operating a store and farm in Moseda, Utah. Will was always a hard worker, made many friends and he and his wife, Florence, who is my wife's sister and my wife and I were closer than most brother and sisters. Will and Florence were not always to successful, financially, but they got alot out of life. I don't think they ever had an enemy of any kind. They raised to maturity 5 fine, stalwart sons:Osmar, Max, Vaughn, Verden, and Jack. The later served their country in World War II, and three lovely daughters, Haydee, Evia, and Elaine. who died in early womanhood, after marrying Roy Duncan and raising a lovely little daughter, Patsy. Soon after we moved back to Payson, we sold our little home in Payson to Darrel Brown for $2,000. While living in Salt Lake I continued to buy, sell, and feed cattle. My son-in-law, Dave Shuler, and I built some stock yards near the Utah-Idaho Sugar Factory and we feed from 250 to 500 head of cattle each winter. After the Sugar Factory closed down premanently we moved yards to Dave's Goose Nest ranch norhteast of town, where we continued to until about 1936, when I retired, but Dave has continued on until the present writing. One incentive for us moving back to Payson and taking the business back was to get our boys, Ned and Dean, started in bus8 Erma, our oldest daughter, was Olat' ried to Wayne Gardner at the early age of 16. To this union two girls were born: Helen, Dec. 18, 1914, and Geraldine, Oct. 14, 1916. Wayne was a good boy, a talented musician, an athlete, and a good worker, as he worked for me in the store most of his married life. He died with the flu, Nov. 2, 1918. So Erma came home to live with us for a year when she married Dave Shuler, my sister Dora, Dave1s frist wife frist wife having also died with the flu. To them two son were born, Russell Philo, who died in infancy, and Hal S., born Aug. 9, 1925. iness as neither had shown any inclination to go to college, but preferred to get into business, instead. So soon after reopening the business, O.P. Skaggs persuadedme ti enter the O.P.Skaggs System lessee and Ned would be trained as grocery manager and Dean as maket manager. Burnis, our youngest son, was eager for a college education, so he attended the B.Y.A. at Provo until his death in an automobile accident, Aug. 19, 1934. This was a terrible shock to us all Burnis was an exceptionally fine boy, devoted to his parents and brothers and sisters, and had a very keen desire to get an education and also a determination to go on a mission. Helen, Erma1s oldest daughter also married young, at the age of about 16--Milo Christensen of Spanish Fork. This marriage was happy for a while but finally, after their son, Wayne, our frist great grand child, was about 5 years a navy man by the name of Joe Mohabb, originally from Missouri and Arkansas. We were all very well pleased with this union and have since become acquainted with and visited Joe1s people in Cotter, Ark., and we are all very good friends. Joe is an accomplished engineer and is at this writing in Adak, Aleutian Island, making good money. Helen and their little daughter Sharon Joe and son, Wayne, have an apartment in Salt Lake. Joe expects to return to the U.S. in about 6 months. Ned and Dean made good as store managers and continued on as such until May, 1935 when we sold stock and fixtures to Harrison Bros. for Cedar City, Utah. We leased the building and part of the fixtures to them for a period of five years at $75 per month. Ned stayed with them for about a year when his health failed him and he went to California to visit his sister, Florence, \,/ho was living in Long Beach, California. She immediately noticed his emaciated condition and insisted on him seeing his Dr., a Dr. Casedy(?), who immediately insisted on sending ' him to the Seaside Hospital and prepared for an operation for toxic inward goiter. This was performed and he was confined there for 9 weeks. His life hung in balance most of that time, ut though excellent medical attention and nursing and we believe through the power of the priesthood, his life was saved and he has apparently at this writing, regained his health. Our second daughter, Florence, has had a rather sad and hectic life, having had more tough breaks than anv of our other childern. At an early age, she had spinal meningitis, which rather impared her health. Later, in spite of her ill health, she graduated from business college and became an expert stenographer. She worked at that for several la~ge firms, both in Salt Lake and Los Angeles for several years, and finally married Jon Taylor of Salt Lake. He was apparently a fine young man and came from a fine family. For a while he was very devoted, but he finally got to drinking and stepping out on her. Florence was too independent to stand for that, so after giving him several chances to reform and after many broken promises, she divorced him, shortly before their son, Sharril Taylor, was born. She then came back home with her son to live with us for a few years. Sharril won our hearts immediately and we always thought of him as our own. After Sharril was several years old, Florence again went to Los Angeles to work, leaving him with us. While there, she met and married Clarence Griffith June 22, 19-- a fine young man that we all took to immediately and they came back to Utah and Griff, as we called him went right to work for us in the store, and continued until his death in an airplane ' accident. Dean worked in an O.P. Skaggs market at Cedar City for about a year and then about three years at the Tintic Standerd mi ne. He then took a job as Ola rket manager for Ralph Hay\va rd at Provo, and later went to work for the O.P. Skagg s market on 9th South in Salt Lake, where he stayed until July, 1944, when he sold his home in Salt Lake and moved to Fresno,California, where he bought another home and secured a good job, where he and his family are at this writing, Feb. 7, 1945 . The Harrison Bros. ran the O.P. Skaggs store until 1941, when they fa il ed and turned the busi ness over to the credit men1s assocation, who liquidated the stock, and then part of the fixtures and the balance was turned back to me. The building then stood idle for over a year, the first time since it was built in 1898. I \vil1 nOl'1 insert a brief history or record of my family up to this writing, 1945. I have previously given the dates of birth of uor immediate family. 9 Griff had become very popular as a civic worker and was loved by a host of friends. This was another of Florence's tough breaks, as their marriage was a happy one. However, Florence took it on the chin like the true soldier she has always been, in spite of her unlucky breaks. Some time after Griff's death she went to work again and after living single for some 5 or 6 years, a correspendence was started between her and an old time sweetheart, her present husband, Dean Badham. After a brief courtship during a visit to Long Beach, they were married. They lived in Long Beach about one year when they moved to Salt Lake, where Dean worked for wages for a time and then engaged in business for himself for a while. Then after working at several meat jobs, he signed up for a year's job in the Alentian Islands, where he is at this writing, Feb. 21, 1945. They have one son Phil, six years old, now in his frist year in school. born April 14, 1931, and Dennis, born Oct. 5, 1933, as previously stated, are now living in Fresno, Calif. where they moved on account of Mary's health. May God bless them also for their kindly consideration of their parents. Burnis, our youngest son, a sketch of whom has been recorded in a previous chapter, was killed Augest 19, 1934, in an automobile accident. He was also gifted with a wonderful baritone voice and did considerable opera work solo singing. Time has gradually' healed the heart aches caused by the death of Burnis and Della and has left only sweet memories. In recording Erma's family I inadvertently omitted a sketch of Geraldine and Hal. Geraldine also married a navy man, Paul Wittwer of ••.•..•..... Paul quit the navy for a while and they had quite a struggle during the depression, but he again rejoined the navy and has made good, having been promoted several times until this writing. He is Chief Warrant Officer at a salary of around $350 per month. To this union three sons have been born: Johnny, age 7, Jimmie, age 3, and his twin brother who died in infancy. Ned L., our oldest son, after completing high school and after roaming around the country considerable and sowing his share of wild oats, he settled down and married Edna Peterson, a lovely girl and the daughter of an old friend of mine, Alvin Peterson, saleman for the Zion's Wholesale Gr. Co. of Provo. To this union has been born three childern, Renee, born , , Joe, born , and Brent, born Ned and his family have always been very near and dear to us and extremely kind and considerate to us with hands ~lways ready and willing to help, not only us, but any family of their friends. God bless them all. Hal, Erma and Dave's only boy, was born August 9. 1928, being almost 18 yrs. old. Hal is an exceptionally fine boy, a good student, a very good athlete, a star basketball player and an allRround rustler with a keen ambition to go into the US service as soon as he graduates from high school, which will be about June 1st. Della, the fourth member was a very beautiful girl Whom we loved very much, and as previously stated, died at the age of 15 years. This brief sketch of our family would probably sound somewhat overdrawn or maybe egotistical to anyone outside of the family, but it is the truth and I am happy to state at this' writing we are all in complete harmony, in-laws, sons and daughters, grand and great grand children, for which we are all very greatful . Ralph Dean, the 5th member was and is blessed with a rich baritone voice and through his high school days took part in many operas and did considerable solo singing and radio work. I have been told by at least two of his teachers, Prof. Woodward of Salt Lake, and Prof. Carl Nelson of Payson, that Dean had a wonderful career ahead of him if he would study and make that his life's work. However he chose to sow, as most boys do, a very prolific crop of wild oats, but he also finally came to earth and married a beautiful girl by the name of Mary Sorenson of Salt Lake, and to this union two fine sons, Ronald, February 4, 1911, Tom Reese and I took our first trip to California. In those days, the Salt Lake Elks Lodge had an annual excursion to Southern California to which everybody that had the price was invited. The day before we were to leave, there was a . big wash out in the Meadow Valley, which necessitated routing the excursion over the Sourthern Pacific, which took us to Sacramento, then over the valley line, through Fresno, Bakersfield, then Los Angeles, returning over the coast route to San Francisco. Needless to say, we had a wonderful trip, visitirig most all points of interest. They were just beginning to advertise the 1915 world's fair 10 and we decided than and there to take oue wives and visit the fair. This 1 did, but something up which prevented Tom and and his wife from making the trip. This trip will be discussed 1a ter. This proved to be a very successful organization and much good both socially and civically. Dr. Grover C. was followed as president by Dr. L.D. Stewart, then Geo. Chase, then Bryson Ott, then T.F . Tolh'lurst, then myself--and by the way, this election always automatically made the new president a delagate to the national convention. About this time, I began to take a keen interest in civic affairs, being an active member of the Chamber of Commerce. This organization sponsored many worthy projects and was responsible for securing a good hard-surface read to Spanish Fork via of Benjamin, shortening the road considerable. I was on this committee. The Chamber of Commerce was also active in getting the late T.C. Tolhurst to build a large roller mill here, the old pioneer mill of James Finlayson having burned down a ,year or so before. We then took up the project of securing a sugar factory for Payson. We frist took up the matter with Uncle Jesse Knight, who promised us he would build one if the Utah-Idaho Sugar Co. refused. Jesse Knight had lived most of his life in Payson and had reared his family here so naturally had a soft spot in his heart for Payson. This year Will McCormick was also made delagate 50 we made up a party to go to the convention, consisting of Mr. & Mrs. McCormick, their daughter, Jane, and Madge Reese in one car, and Mrs. Wi ghtman and I and Bi' s Aunt Grace Wi 11 ams and her husband, Will Williams in my car. Needless to say, we had a wonderful trip. ~Je went by the way of Kansas City and St. Loui s to Loui svill e, Kentucky, where the convention was held, where we spent four most enjoyable days. One of the outstanding entertainments given by the Louisville Lions was as a trip on a pleasure boat up the Ohio River to Cincinnatti and back. This was a wonderful trip; there was an orchestra and we danced and enjoyed the scenery. Another side trip was over the Churchhill Downs, where the famous Kentucky Derby is held each year. After a delightful 5 days at Louisville, we drove to Galipolis, Ohio, where Will McCormick used to live and where his old bachelor brother, Tom, and his old maid sister, Sally, were living in the old McCormick homestead--a fine old mansion built by Will's father over a' hundred years before. We were royally entertained there for three days and then moved on to Washington, where we spent 2 delightful days with Karl Keelers. A few of the interesting points visited here were Washington's Mount Vernon home, the Smithsonian Institute, the National Cathedral, the Washington Monument, the National Capitol, and many other interesting places. From Washington we drove to Baltimore, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, and then on to Niagra Falls and on through Buffalc to Kirtland, my father's birth-place, where we spent 2 days looking over the old historical Mormon town. We were entertained there by Ora Mcfarland and wife, distant relatives of the Simon's here. However he said he was a mining man and preferred not to get into the manufacturing business if the Utah-Idaho Co. would give us what we wanted. then with this weapon, we appoached the U-I Co. again and were gently put off again, where upon Uncle Jesse immediately secured the site , on which later the U-I Co. built the factory. After the U-I Co. saw that Jesse Knight meant business, they promised Uncle Jesse which they did the next year. Our townsmen, John T. Larit(?), who was at that time their field superintendant at Carland, was to a great degree responsible in getting the factory located here. About this time I was elected president of the Chamber of Commerce, an honor of which I was very proud. However, shortly after the factory was built and put into operation, service, or luncheon clubs, Rotol"y, Kiwanas, and Lion's Clubs became mOI"e popular than the commercial clubs and most of the smaller to\'IIlS di scuded the Chamber of Commerce and mos t of the acti ve members joined one of the service clubs. Payson chose to organize i1 Lion's Club, believing that to be the best of the thl'ee, so in 1924 a good live Lion's Club was organized with Dr. Grover Christensen as the frist president and about 25 charter members. We visited my grandfather's old home, the Joseph and Hyrum Smith homes, and the great grandmother's grave and monument: "Joseph Wightman died 1843 at the age of 75 years, and his wife Amy Shoals Wightman died 1861 at the age of 82 years." Great grandmother Wightman was an invalid for 30 years which accounted for our people staying in Kirkland 25 years after the reast of the Mormons had left. They could not bring her to Utah and they were too loyal to go and leave her, so after she died in 1861, they left for Utah in 1862. 11 "IJ .::J' O/' l, . < .. /I~I' l'/a::. d \,/ClyUIl-lI l or~ ~' ClIlU "au 0 ".

They made the wagons that were in the train, shipping them by boat down the ohio and then up the Missouri River to Florence, Nebraska, where they brought oxen and horses to make up the train to Utah. My father was 13 years old, but drove a yoke of oxen all the way to Utah. Christofer Dixon and family were with this co. 1 .... 1::1 • .; ... , l:; ....... Mr. Jos. Wightman Payson, Utah Dear old friend, Your letter duly received and it struck me like a voice from the dead. Just let your mind carry you back to the time when we \'Iere chums and pals through our childhood days. Soon after you left Kirtland, I wrote you a long letter and directed just Salt Lake Cit, Utah. I suppose you never received it as I never received a reply, and Joe, to think that we have never even corres~onded nor heard from each other since we parted so many years ago. My father was still alive when we made this trip and asked me to look up Wayland Rodgers, a boy hood friend and the name sake of my younger brother Wayland Rodgers Wightman, if perchance he was still living. So while Mr. McFarland was showing us the old cemetaryI asked him if he kne\,1 Mr, Rodgers; he said "yes, very \'Iell" and that we were standing a fe\,1 feet from the Rodgers plot. His wife and serveral childern were buried there. T~ere were some wild flowers on the graves and Mr. McFarland said that the old man \'/ho \'/as still living placed those flO\'l ers there r'ieillol'ial Day, just a month p)"ior to this, He said the man was no \'1 living in Cle'leland, 22 miles away, but he promised to get his address for us before ,we left Kirtland, but he failed so we had to come away without seeing ' my dad's old boyhood friend. Dad was very disapp ointed when \'/e get home to learn that we failed to see him. However, in about a month he received a nice long letter from his old pal, Wayland Rodgers. It sounded just like a boy 0riting to a pal. I cannot express how I missed you after you were gone. At the time. I tho ught life \'/as not worth living without you. But hel'e \':e are-old men, )-enel·ling our old time f)-iendship. Thank God for that Aug. 21-1876. I got married and it was a happy marriage. We had three boys; two are here in Cleveland, the youngest at Palncab, Kentucky. I do not see him very often. Roy Rodgers is my oldest son; I live I'lith him since I lost my good wife She died 17 years ago--July fifth last. Joe, after you left Kirtland, I used to go up to the old stone house an ca 11, "Oh Joi e but no Joi e answered. I, He said that he had just been up to Kirtland to a homecoming celebration and Mr. McFarland told him that I had been visiting there and had inquired for him. They corresponded then until Father's death in 1932 . I then Wrote to him and sent him a clipping and picture of Dad but never heard more from him. No doubt he died soon after Dad did. I have just ran ac ro ss one of the letters Dad received from Mr. Rodgers, so I am going to insert a copy of it in hope it will be interesting to our family in after I left Kirtland 17 years ago and moved to Kirtland and engaged in Real Estate business, and am still at it in a small way, but am getting to old for that. Joe, I wish you could have been with me on the 17th--Kirtland hoecoming. We have it every year and I sawall the Kirtland people that are left and we had a splendid time. It \'Iould have been complete if the Wightman and Di xon famil ies had been there. Ora McFarland inquirered if I heard from you; I told him I wrote you and you answered right away. Joe, a letter from you done me lots of good for it had been so unexpected. yed )' S : If I had known where to write you would have heard from me long ago. Why did you not write me long ago of your trip out to Utah. It must have been some trip at that time. Joe, you ought to come back here for a visit. I know you would enjoy it. 12 I was out by your old home yesterday. What memories it as I drove by, I could see you and I running around as of ·old. I \'/as there but \'/hcl'e \'/as Joe--not there. When you answer this tell me anything you want, and pardon me for not answering sooner. All I have done for two weeks is write letters. recalle~; Well, Joe, may God bless you and yours, and if not premitted to see each other here, then in the hereafter, where no sorrow or trouble, and all is peace, joy, and happiness. Very Truly YOUI"S, J. Wayland Rodgers 2228 Jackson Blvd. C1eve 1and, . ·0 hi a While at Kirtland we found two old ladies that were kid girls at the time our folks left. Kirtland. Their maiden names \'/cre Tefney. \'}e visited them and took their pictures. They remembered the ~Ji ghtmans and Oi xons and sa i d they \'Iere pa 1s of Amy and r'lary ~Jightman. That was my Jl.unt Amy Reese and t1ary Daley. They also remembered my dad, John Dixon, r'lary Dixon Nebeker, Emma Dixon Douglas and other members of the two families. These people were all alive at that time and were qiute thrilled at my recital of the trip when I got home. After leaving Kirtland, \'/e traveled Cleveland, Chicago, Gary, Inc. and up the the coast of Lake ~lichigan to Zions City, and thcn west through Maddison and on to Rochcster, Minn., where we spent a week going through 13 t!.~~~ML.l2'fHih WJaLtman _,_ drt.h: rhea: \7 Declalt-a· Manie ri : ~! !
