for a whole bolt of cloth, which he carried home on his shoulders one night after work. About 1884 an artesian well was diven into the ground east of their house by Hyrum Williams and his partner, of Ogden, Utah. The flow was of substantial quantity, which served for livestock purposes, and for irrigation on the orchard and garden lot. Due to sulphur and iron rust in the water, it could not be used for culinary purposes in the house or for laundry. The rhythmic notes of the splashing water as it tumbled to the rock bed below, and the gurgling play of its power were pleasing patterns of nature's music to those who learned to listen. On long, balmy summer evenings, the timid katydid and noisy bullfrogs chirped and chanted to their heart's content along its course. Several times a day, trips were made past the well, along the shady path east and a little to the south, part of the way down the west slope of Mill Creek, for fresh water. Through the rock-bottomed bed, overshadowed by willows, sweet, clear, cold water bubbled from a spring. This was one of the family's treasured haunts. When the two youngest daughters, Nancy Ann Perry and Margaret Ellen Perry, became old enough to care for the household, other members of the family went to Logan, Utah, where they stayed with relatives and did temple work. Their daughter, Susan Arrena Perry, and her husband, John Webster Singleton, sometimes accompanied them. Saturday was not only a shopping day, but also a pleasant time for visiting with members of Sylvester's family and those of his two brothers. Before leaving home with his long narrow wagon, two spring seats were arranged near the front of his vehicle for those who wished to visit or make purchases in Ogden. Two miles east, another spring seat was added and some of Stephen Washington's family joined them. At Lynne, Utah, a fourth seat was fastened near the back of the wagon box, and some of Alonzo Orson Perry's family climbed in. The old pecan tree brought by Sylvester Lyman Perry from the banks of the Missouri River as a seedling when he returned to assist some of the weary Saints was planted in 1856 and still stands with a base circumference of seven and one-half feet, with an estimated height of eighty feet, and a spread of more than seventy feet. The tree, according to Phil Orth of North Ogden, who is a connisseur of nut trees, is thought to be the oldest nut tree in Weber County. Each year it bears several pounds of nuts. When Margaret Ellen Perry's husband, Oliver Henry Bybee, was asked by the General Authorities to accept a mission call to the Hawaiian Islands, she was invited by her parents to come with their three small children and live with them. Sylvester and his son, William Heber, built two frame rooms on the west of their log home, and the young family remained there from March, 1903, to March, 234
