The singing was under direction of Dorene Rorviser with LoRaine Wilkinson at the piano. Margaret McKinnon gave the history of her husbands' grand¬parents, Samuel Brough and Elizabeth Batt Brough. They had four children when they sailed from Liverpool, England May 30, 1863. They crossed the plains with the Samuel D. White Co., walking most of the way. They reached Salt Lake in Oct. 1863. The next year they moved to Porterville making their home in a dugout, in the side of the hill. Later on they moved into a 2 room log house. Samuels brother Thomas and his family also moved to Porter¬ville and they were very close. The brothers opened a brick making plant in Porterville located north east of the present Bud Creager home. In 1865 they made the first brick in Morgan County, which was used in the homes now owned by Marion Carter Fisher and the Martin Lee family. In 1870 Samuel and Elizabeth and family loaded their belongings into a prairie schoener and headed for Randolph, Utah driving their animals along with them. It took a week to get there. For a time Samuel worked in the mines at Almy and Elizabeth was left at home to watch over the pig, the chicken, the cow, rear the children and keep the house. Samuel worked hard and had many skills so provided nicely for his family which Elizabeth made for his family while Elizabeth made each place they lived a happy home. The lesson "Locality Histories" was given by LaRue Waldron. She gave history of Shelley, Idaho. In the spring of 1885, John F. Shelly and George and James Steele, left their homes in American Fork in a light wagon loaded with months supply of provisions and headed north to find a land of greater opportunities in Idaho. John F. was greatly impressed with Iona, a small town nine miles south of what is now Idaho Falls. Many friends from his hometown had settled there. After choosing tracts of land for homesteads, they went back to bring their families. When they left American Fork, all the townspeople, even the brass band, turned out to wish them well. When they arrived at Iona late August, the land didn't look so good. But they decided to stay. One of the Steele brothers had a dream that he saw acres of grain growing on their land and when he broke a kernal he could feel its life giving elements. John F. Shelley started a store and as he needed to build a house and livery stable, he asked the railroad if they would stop with loads of lumber for him. They said yes, if he would unload the lumber during the short stop. John F. Shelley started a store enroute to railroad stop when they heard the train whistle so it was a race to the track. The men threw the lumber off both sides of the track to get it done in time. The town grew and the families prospered. Within 12 years there was a good school and the first load of potatoes was shipped out. The potato industry grew. Today the town is known as the Spud Capital of the world. When the people decided to give their settlement a name in 1904, they asked the railroad to send in names. They wrote back, you can choose whatever name you wish, but the railroad has named it Shelley. LaRue also gave short notes on Devil's Slide, China Town up Lost Creek and the Bamhuger railroad. It was a very interesting lesson. The closing prayer was given by Dora Rich. Delicious refreshments were served by LoRaine Wilkinson Vilate Francis, Dorene Rauser and Thelma Bell. There were 22 present.
