to speak, but the present generation knows nothing of such an edifice ever stood there." --- J. Hatten Carpenter- Upon the request of Gerald Henrie. Daniels life-long neighbor wrote about Daniel. This is quoted from that writing. Not so long ago (1992) a very dear friend handed me the above account written by J. Hatten Carpenter of Manti and published in Manti's first printed newspaper, July 17, 1885. Daniel Henrie was one of Manti's first entrepreneurs in 3 business of his owni butchering, advertising and selling fresh meat. It was July, one of the hot months of Sanpete's summer. At that time no one knew much about refrigeration, but Mr. Henrie realized that the meat had ble. If Mr. Henrie did not sell the meat the same day cloth or sack, and buried it in his grain bin until night-Cime when he would take it out and hang it in 3 t r*ee or shed so it could have the advantage of the fresh, cool air with no flies. This brings to mind one of our family stories about One summer morning when it was barely daylight, Hay voice. "May, wake up! You are a sleepyhead. Come, I need your help." May hurriedly sat up in bed and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. She remembered her mother asking her last night if she knew where Dan Henrie's Meat Shop was. Now to be asked to go alone would be a great adventure. Quickly she dressed. She looked longingly at the breakfast table, but mother said, "I saw his red £ laj? ves terds v. Wouldn t you like some £Ood Danish dumpling soup? You'll have to hurry to get there before he sells all the good soup bones." Then handing May a s^al1 Ducket containing a folded white dish towel, mother hurried her out of the door to buy the meat. 80 |
