BUILDING ON CORNER OF STATE AND MAIN TORN DOWN ~~~Taken From the Elva Guyman Collection ~~~ Comments from Lee R. Christensen ~ (from our archives)

 

This building was torn down in approximately........and was located east of where Beck's Furniture now stands or where Rodger and Jenni's is now located.
Kathy:  I do not  remember this building as the” Dutch  Mill” It was the corner candy store in my day (1929-30) and was owned by the Madsen Brothers.  I’m guessing they sold or rented it to Drug Store Johansen from across the street and his son in law Glen Williams then ran it as a candy, hamburger, and malt operation.  The Madsen brothers , from down Moroni way build a place just north for their saloon as soon a beer drinking was allowed back, about summer 1933, just as Roosevelt promised.  The building also carried a full side wall  ad for , I think,  Levi’s rumored to have been painted by an artist from Fairview.  Lee

Selections from the NSH North Sanpete High School Yearbook 1929

It was interesting to find that the students of North Sanpete High School honored their pioneer heritage with the picture of our pioneer monument on one of the first pages of their yearbook in 1929.  Today, I wonder if the current generation shares that gratitude.  We owe so much to our pioneer forefathers, but how easy it is to forget the struggles the pioneers had  as they settled here.  Too many of our current gneration are only interested in the here and now; others  "Progress" instead of  "Gratitude".  And for some discouragement rather than "Counting our Blessings". 

During the next few weeks I will post selections from that same 1929 North Sanpete High School Yearbook.  Hopefully you will find one of your ancestors there.  This yearbook belonged to my sweet mother-in-law, Alice Hafen. 

We have many more photos, readings and entries from Alice Hafen on her own site: http://alicehafenphotos.blogspot.com/

For now these happy days will soon be past and leave their pleasant memories alone.
