Faith Steed Howarth

[Coming back to Utah]

We came down [to Utah]. I was just a little girl and I'd never been to school because I was too young and because the school was too far away. 1 remember the first time that I tried to go to school a little bit in the Fall of coming home with my front teeth and feet frozen and mother sticking me with my feet in the oven, you know, and then they wouldn't let me go anymore.

So, when we came to Farmington [Utah], he [my father] bought the house and property that his father had built and, you see, that whole area was Steed property and he bought all of it. If we could have held onto that we'd have been very, very rich people because when I go out there now, there are many beautiful homes all through where we had an orchard. You know, and all this, that and the other.

I can tell you this little thing about it. When I was a few years older I was still a young child. I was only six when we left there my sister Lucy, my oldest sister was taking care of us at the ranch. This was [a] ranch house and it also had a very deep cellar. They had terrible storms. Hail came down in - I mean really, they did. Anyway, it started to storm. When that happened we were all supposed to go and get in the cellar and pull it shut and stay there until it was over. So, we did. She had us all down there ... [I don't know whether this was Canada or Utah]

When we came up., here was all these lovely little ice things on the ground. So, we made ice cream.
