We were living at Uintah at the time and Bill left me and our two sons, Dale and Verl, in Uintah and he moved to the Dam with George Strong. In February of 1924, I moved in with my sister and husband, Royden and Chloe Poll and stayed with them until our son, Glen William, was born. In March, Bill moved us to two rooms in the house at the Dam. It was quite an experience. My cupboard for pans and dishes was an orange crate and a large drygoods box with a curtain around it. Our baby, Glen William, took sick and died on April 5, 1924. When George Strong moved back to his home in South Weber we had the rest of the house with a refrigerator, electric stove and kitchen cabinets. We even had a Maytag washer. When an extra man was needed at the Dam, Bill's brother, Royden, was hired and his family, including three children, moved in with us. Their son, Vine, stay¬ed with his grandparents in South Weber so he could continue attending school there, and our son, Dale, lived with them also, to keep Dale company. The Dam was a dangerous place for a family to live by. Union Pacific trains 327
