BY MORAL "C" WATTS

Tom was a hard working man and he always said "If you want any help, get it from the end of your arms".

Tom and his brother Frank had a hard time coping with polygamy. Sister Jane said it was all wrong.

Tom and Frank worded for the Parker Ranch which was two lanes south of the sugar factory. The Parkers had several herds of sheep. Their father Richard Crowther would collect $29.00 of their $30.00 a month wages and let them have one dollar. They were very bitter of their father on account of this.

Tom and Jennie always told us not to tell lies and help other people and always be honest in all your dealings. Tom was a good foster father to me and I always had a great amount of respect and love for this man.

During the depression years cattle sold for 3 cents a pound, sheep for two dollars a head, chicken for two cents a pound and hogs, you could not give one away.

Tom had a good sense of humor and did like to tease the little children and rub his whiskers on their tender faces. When Tom and Frank were together they had such a good wit about so many things. Even though the family went through some trying times they could joke and laugh about it.

Tom was always active and going all the time. He was in Gunnison and while crossing the road a car hit him and broke one of his legs. Life was hard for him from then on.

The land in Axtell was the property of John Lewis Bosshardt. Jennie, 60 acres; Ed Watts, 40 acres; Emma, 20 acres; Lillie, 20 acres; Margret, 20 acres. Emma bought the forty acres that Lillie and Margret had.

Tom always grew a good wheat crop which was fed to the chickens.

Jennie was a good women. In a way she never gave Tom credit for what ontributions he gave in labor toward the family welfare. She often would remind him that the farm was hers. These remarks did hurt his feelings.

Thomas Crowther with team and wagon would haul gravel on the roadway between Gunnison and Levan. This was around 1928. They used a scraper and fresnos to move the gravel. The wagon would go under the platform stand which had a three foot square hole in it. The scraper would loosen the gravel and use the fresno to move gravel over the platform. They used a cable to fasten the fresno and the other end to the double trees which a team of horses pulled over the platform. The gravel would fall through the hole onto the wagon. The wagon had eight inch sideboards, same one the front and back. It had eight dump boards at least 2 inches thick and 6 inches wide. You would loosen one dump board and dump the gravel, then in turn each board until all the gravel was under the wagon. The gravel hauls were mostly short for the gravel came from the closest hills. Parents: Richard CROWTHER and Annie Margaret CHRISTENSEN.

Spouse: Jennie Martha BOSSHARDT. Thomas Francis CROWTHER and Jennie Martha BOSSHARDT were married on 3 JUN 1907 in Axtell, Sanpete County, Utah.

Minnie Melvina CUDNEY was born on 5 DEC 1869 in Wapello, Louisa County, Iowa. She appeared in the census on 19 JUN 1900 in Otis, Hamilton County, Nebraska. She died on 3 MAR 1925 at Buffalo, Erie County, New York. Aurora Republican, Thursday, March 12, 1925.
Mrs. Walter Colby, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Cudney, was born in Polk County, Iowa, December 5th, 1870, and departed this life March 1st, 1925, attaining the age of 54 years, 3 months and 26 days. She moved to Nebraska with her parents in 1872, locating on a farm in Hamilton County. She united in marriage with Walter Colby March 21st, 1888. To this union were born two Sons, Harry, who died in infancy. Irvin Ray, who resides at Los Angeles, California; five daughters, Mrs. Eva Weed of Tonawanda, New York; Mrs. Bessie Knapp of North Tonawanda, New York; Mrs. Lottie Glol of Blue Hill, Nebraska; Misses June Marie and Emma Josephine, who resides with their father at Tonawanda, New York. She is survived by the members of the immediate family; two brothers, L. T. Cudney, of Omaha, H. W. Cudney of Central City and four sisters, Mrs W. E. Solt of Central City; Mrs. Emma Solt of Columbus; Miss Lula Cudney of Grand Rapids, Mich.; Mrs. Rena Abrams of Pueblo, Colo. Two grand children, other relatives and a host of friends.

For several months Mrs. Colby's health has gradually declined until an operation seemed to be the only possible chance of restoring her health. She was taken to the hospital two weeks previous to her operation, after which the physicians pronounced the crises past and her recovery seemed possible, but her physical condition was such that she could not sustain the shock. Conscious of the seriousness of her condition and the possibility of not recovering, calmly and with christian fortitude the last said rites were planned.

To those who knew Mrs. Colby, her christian life and good deeds are evidence of her faith in God and her love for her fellowmen. She seized every opportunity to contribute to the good of others. During the influenza epidemic and at all times, she was unmindful of her own strength and health in the services of her friends and neighbors. Every instance of kindness shown to others whether acknowledged or not opened up a well spring of happiness and contentment in her own life. Above all other interests of life her greatest ambition was the moral and spiritual welfare of her family, shedding her christian influence and motherly love into the lives of her children. She endeavored and succeeded in keeping them from the sins and selfishness of the world. Such vigorous motherly love is needed in every American home. To the mothers of our country we must look for powerful leadership in the cause of morality and religion. Mrs. Colby was a true gentile woman, teaching humanity that the value and the truth of life can be learned only by actual performance of its duties and the truth can be learned and souls saved in no other way.

Services were held from the United Brethren pulpit, conducted by Walter S. Henry. Interment was in Richland Cemetery.
