Sam said...

What a wonderful surprise to see this post!



There is so much more I could tell you about this house. One brief story. When I was a boy in the late 50's, the west wall of adobes started to collapse. Dad wanted to shore up the wall and pour concrete as a foundation, at least in the damaged section. Our job as boys was to crawl under the house and excavate the space under the crumbling adobes so the concrete foundation could be poured. Up until that time the only foundation to the home was logs placed on rocks. I have no idea why my dad decided to send his boys on such a dangerous job.

I do regret tearing down the old house. We should have built the new house across the creek.

Agreed! The old home shouldn't have been torn down. It changed so much.

AUNT MARANDY ~~~ Written by Stanley Peterson

 

AUNT MARANDY

 

This is a copy of a poem written by Stanley Peterson.

Folks call her Aunt Marandy and to them she's very dear,

Because she's worked and slave for them for many many a year.

No sacrifice too great for her, no duty will she shun,

She'll keep on trying day and night, until the job is done.

She's raised a family of her own, of them she's very proud,

Like all good mothers of the town, she'll praise them right out loud.

And then because of her ministrations, there are so many others

Who worship and adore her so and gladly call her mother.

She's cooked and darned and scrubbed so much, til not she cannot see,

But yet ambition drives her on, content she will not be

You'll find her busy, unafraid, a quilting every day

Until each grandchild has a quilt to keep the cold away.

And there she sits all soul alone, her hair a turning grey,

Her friend so rarely visit her and none with her will stay.

And still she keeps a plugging on, a doing all she can,

She'll keep on striving to the end, dependent on no man.

Her love of God and man and beast is, oh, so very real,

Her place in heaven on God's right hand, from her no one can steal.

And when her years upon this earth have been awhile suspended,

Her noble spirit with that of God will be completely blended.

NORTH SANPETE HIGH SCHOOL 1916

Graduates of Class 1916 Plan a reunion. North Sanpete High School may have changed considerably in the past 50 years, but the fond memories of the graduating class of 1916 are still vivid among those who attended 

the school at that time.
