Show the organizations wherever they lived. Sarah had served as choir director in Syracuse and was Relief Society Pres¬ident in Malad. She had sung in the Salt Lake Tabernacle Choir. The family left Malad in 1922 and settled in Ogden where William worked for the railroad. William and Sarah were very active in the Ninth and Eleventh LDS Wards in Ogden. In 1923 they moved to Mountain Green, Morgan County, where they lived for five years. Their first home in Mountain Green was the old Pioneer home of John and Lucinda Robinson, on the hill just west of Alonzo and Lottie Robinson's new red brick home, William Call had leased Alonzo' s farm and moved his wife and remaining family of four--Louise, Elma, Mary and Kent—into the old home. Elma remembers how they loved the old home and the Robinsons. There was no indoor plumbing and water was drawn from a near-by well. The children had to ride a school bus to Peterson which had a long hot pipe that ran down the middle to keep the children warm in frigid wintry weather. They had to study by the light of a coal-oil lamp. She still laughs over the overpowering smell of farm boy's shoes after they had been to the barn to do chores and put their feet on the heat¬er pipe when they got on the bus. The family later moved into the yellow brick home of Ralph Warner, east about a mile and closer to the Church. Elma remembered all the students, which the school wagon picked up from the Utah Power and Light Dam in the Canyon, to the Wilkinson farm just west of Peterson. There was never a dull moment, especially when the bus became overcrowded. While living in the yellow brick house, Kent built a cutter, and the fun they had riding it! It was a cutter sleigh. They would bundle up and haul milk from their home to Strawberry to sell to the railroad crews living in box cars there. Both William and Sarah served in the Ward MIA and she also taught Primary. Mary served as Secretary of the Primary for a time. Sarah was active in dramatics in the little Ward. There were fond memories of Fingal Bohman's store where the kidw went for penny candy and the treats that Fred and Helen Bohman brought to school for others. YELLOW BRICK HOME 312 |
