and made their home in part of his mother's house in South Weber. Peter began working as a car checker for the Union Pacific Railroad in Ogden. By then the couple had two children, Katherine and Ruth. Peter and his brother-in-law, Lester, began operating an automobile repair shop in Salt Lake City. However, the depression of 1921 proved disastrous and they lost all their money, plus most of the holdings they had acquired during their earlier years. Albert, the third child, was born in Salt Lake City. Peter gave up the automobile business and leased the ranch of William Parrish in Mountain Green. Here, Doris, the fourth child, was born. Life was hard on the ranch and they eked out a living supplemented by money from eggs and other produce sold to an Ogden grocery store. Thus the stage was set for an incident that left the family chuckling for years. One day Bessie scrubbed the children scrupulously clean, loaded her eggs and children into the buggy and set out for Ogden. About a half mile from home a white cow, owned by Oscar Rollins, heaved to her feet alongside the road just as the buggy passed by. The horse was 'spooked' and bolted. Bessie tossed the kids out of the buggy right and left, then rode the buggy until it upset in a swamp. Aside from a few scratches and bumps, none were hurt, but the eggs were a total loss. In 1922 Peter served as second counselor to Bishop Joseph A. Parrish. Bessie served as counselor in the Relief Society with Pearl Rollins and Mary Robinson. Peter also served as an acting teacher in the Sunday School. He led the music, she played the organ in ward meetings. He sang at socials accom-panied by Bessie. At the end of the 5-year lease, Peter and Bessie moved their family into the little log heme of Coddy France for a short time. They then moved to the farm of Charles J. Fernelius in South Weber. When times got so tough that the couple could not make the payments on the South Weber farm, Peter rented the farm of Dr. Webb, a veterinarian. It was a financial disaster. Crops failed for lack of water. An east wind blew the barn down along with high tension wires that crossed the land. To add to the family's woes, Bessie died following a bout with the dreaded influenza, The year was 1932. Peter was accidentally killed at the Quartermaster Depot on Second Street 21 October 1946. He and Bessie were both buried in the Uintah Cemetery. 308
