Show had rented the Ostler farm and also the Robinson farm. It was while living there that he was called on a Mission to the Western States, with headquarters in Rapid City, South Dakota. While father was gone, my brothers and sisters and I got the whooping cough. I am sure that this was a great trial for my Mother with five children to care for. I was five years old at the time. I have a recollection of driving cows to and from the pasture across the old highway. The pasture was between the road and the railroad tracks. Soon after Father returned from his mission, we moved to Peterson. My Father's records show that the Mountain Green and Peterson Wards were com¬bined in the Spring of 1930. Father served as Counselor to Bishop Joseph Alonao Parrish, who continued as Bishop of the combined Wards. The Wards met in the Peterson School House until about 1932 when the new Moun¬tain Green-Peterson Ward building was completed across the River from the School House. My Father was called as Bishop and I think Ralph Warner served as a Counselor. I remember my Father working for Ralph Warner in 1934, On 15 March 1934, he was working under his car in the implement building in the yard of the Warner home. It was about 8:06 a.m. and we children were waiting for the school bus when an earthquake hit. Father could see a cowhide over the rafters above his head, and the tail was swinging back and forth. Another shock hit about 11:21 a.m. the same day. At that time I was in Ag class at Morgan High School. I well remember the Mountain Green Chapel on the edge of a heavily wooded area some distance from the Warner borne. It was a stone structure that may still be standing. —Jay Hulet, Idaho NOTE: Nancy Elva Hunt Hulet died 27 June, 1970, in Blackfoot, Idaho. John S. Hulet died 6 July, 1974, in Smithfield, Utah.
