groceries and helped pay the hired men I had to employ. About this time Uncle took more Jersey cows over on a debt and these were also turned over to me. We milked as many as 20 cows a day one Summer. He very often had me drive fresh cows down to Centerville and bring back others. I was very fortunate in raising large crops, but after the first two years prices were very low. This was during President Cleveland's time. Wheat was down to 35 cents a bushel and you could have all the potatoes you wanted by going to the farmer's field and hauling them away. We lived on Ted's farm seven years, then my brother, George, and I borrowed some money and we bought Croft's Store at the Peterson Railroad Station. This con¬sisted of general mercantile and a postoffice. We moved into the back of the store and we rented Alice Whitear's farm in Peterson. George ran the store in the Sunnier time and taught school in the Winter. I was made Bishop of the Peterson Ward before leaving the farm in Mountain Green. The Enterprise, Mountain Green, and Peterson Wards were consolidated and I was made Bishop of the combined Wards. While living in Mountain Green I worked as Road Supervisor and School Trustee. I was also President of the MIA and helped in the Sunday School. We built a new school house just south of the Peterson Store and George was made Postmaster. When we found there was not enough business for the two of us I bought George's interest in the Store, and of course, became Postmaster. I had sold all rny farm equipment and livestock, except a small team of horses and three or four cows, which compelled me to build a barn. One Winter, Jim Williams and I got out logs from the mountains and had them sawed into lumber. This lumber was used to build a barn and ice house. We moved out of the store and into a small house just south of the store. From 1899 to 1906 the children went to school during the Winter months. The boys helped me in the store and also helped deliver groceries when we had orders from the railroad section houses at Peterson and Gateway. We also delivered groceries to the mines in Cottonwood Canyon and helped trans¬port miners back and forth. The boys also worked for farmers, putting up hay and hauling goods from Ogden to Layton. Being Bishop I made many trips to attend meetings in the old Morgan Stake- house. One year we ran a hotel in Peterson, across the river from the store. The family moved to the hotel. I organized a baseball team and hired Tom Irvine from Ogden to help in the 216
