HISTORY OF EMMA ENGLE (POWELL)
I was born 29 November 1879 in Manti, Sanpete County, Utah. I t
hink my parents were living at this time in one of the houses th
at was called Temple row, just at the foot of the hill on whic
h the temple stands, as Father was worKing on the Manti Temple
. I faintly remember when we moved from Glendale, Kane County
, Utah, to Huntington, Emery County, Utah. I was probably abou
t five years old, but really memory of my life is not clear unti
l after we moved to Huntington.
Father procured a farm in this latter vicinity and I recall tha
t when we went back and forth to the farm, wecorssed a canal, i
t seemed on a log. Mother told me about dog-Days in Augustan
d warned me to keep out of the water because of the snakes. On
e Day when going to t he farm I saw a snake raising its head ou
t of the water in the canal and it certainly frightened me.
Soon after our moved to Huntington, Father put a store on a lo
t on Main Street. Mother and her family lived in theback roo
m and the store goods were in the front room. I had the chore o
f scrubbing the store floor and disliked having to move so man
y things from around the counter.
Later we lived on what was called the John West farm, south oft
own. One Day Mother was milKing the cow, a gentle old critter
, and, I sitting near watching, stuck my hand against the cow'
s udder to see what it felt like. Qick as lightening "Bessy" ki
cked the milk bucket across the corraland mother received a ter
rible blow on her leg. I felt very bad about it, and to this da
y, I never see a child near a cow without warning it not to do w
hat I did.
I use to like to ride horses, but generally got the worst of it
.Once I fell off backwards and was knocked unconscious. Anoth
er time I goton a race horse with only a loop around her nose
. She wanted to go to the corral and I coudn't hold her. She g
ot to going so fast, I fell off and was injured internally. I w
as about 15 years old.
When just a girl, probably 10 or 11, I was visiting at the hom
e of my father's second wife, Syrena. Acrossthe road lived a n
ice boy, Richard Croft. It was dark before I left home, and I w
as afraid to go alone. Naturally, Richard saw me home. Enrout
e we had to cross a ravine in which there was a ditch. IN the d
ark we stumbled andfell in the ditch. The razzing I got therea
fter took this fork: Emma and Rich fell in a ditch; Emma calle
d Rich a son of a........
I suppose I was about 16 when a crowd of girls had a halloweenin
g typical of the time and place.We went down where George John
son lived. There a kettle of soap had been left out to cool. W
e filled with with little broken-up sticks, and then proceeded t
o Will Green's brick yard. There we built a little house aroun
d a monument of mischief, which I shall keep secret. Next we we
nt on our way to Mutual Meeting, but stopped long enough at th
e Post Office to mount an old ox skull at the delivery window
.
Among my teachers in the Huntington schools were: Temperen ce Br
asher, Lee Woodward, and J. W. Nixon. While in Miss Brasher's r
oom, she once made me and my playmate Vie Waler stand on a benc
h andhold one foot up. I stood there so long it made me sick
, and was ill for a week, and I never returned to her school. T
he school children used to say LeeWoodward had eyes in the bac
k of his head, because he could always get the youngsters who wh
ispered behind him.
When I was one of the young people of Huntington, there were tw
o groups of us. the other set called the one I was in"The Ti
n Horns" and we called them the "The Brass Collers." Among th
e girls I chummed with were Ellen Fowler, Alice Allen and May Ge
ary.
I began worKing out very early in girlHood. My first place of e
mployment was in the house of Minnie Ipson. I helped with the h
ousework and went to school. I received my board and a few clot
hes, but no wages. W
