that of a farmer, where he raised hay and grain. The family was very self sufficient, raising all their own food in a garden which Emma tended regularly. The boys were given the very physical tasks of cutting and bailing the hay at a very young age. They would work from daybreak until dusk during the harvest season, collapsing at the end of the day, sometimes too tired to eat their supper. The girls were expected to help with the chores also, tending the many cat¬tle, horses, pigs and chickens. During this time the children attended school in the old school house at Peterson. Although Emma was a very religious person the family rarely attended church as the church house was too far away. John was an ambitious man and he involved himself in many walks of life. At one time he owned a store, complete with a butcher shop and restaurant. He also owned a car dealership in Ogden at one time. In order to get the cars from Idaho to Ogden, he would take his children along to the neighboring state, put each one in a car and all would drive back to Ogden on dirt roads, where the cars would be sold or traded. One of John's loves was horses and he bred some of the swiftest racing stock in the area, But the love of horses was the beginning of the decline of John's health. One day he was rac¬ing his team over a cul¬vert and as the horses lunged to clear the obs¬tacle, John was thrown from the wagon and pinn¬ed beneath the wheels. He was dragged under the wheel until the frightened horses could be stopped. John's injuries were serious and he spent a year recuperating in the hospi¬tal. He was finally released but his health never fully returned. When the family sold the farm in Mountain Green they moved to Fairfield, Idaho, where John purchased four farms, totaling 640 acres.
