loaded f r o ~ n wagons onto a neat stack in the stackyard, with the help the of a derrick and horses. There was a real knack to running this equipment effectively, and being able to get the hay in uniform stacks with the least amount of time and effort. Lehi W. once told Waldon Isom, who was working for the Joneses, that Waldon and Rass were the two best Jackson Fork men in all of Cedar Valley." William or "Will," Lehi and Henrietta's youngest son, enlisted in the army in Salt Lake City when he was 21 years old. U p until this time, Will had spent most of his time staying with the sheep as help was very hard to find during the first World War. He had grown up with the sheep, as the other boys had, and even missed school work with them when it became necessary. He remembered leaving high school on the first day of March, the year he was to graduate, and taking the sheep to the mountain. He left with Heber Hogan, a n older man who was not noted for his cleanliness, and stayed on the mountain until the herd had lambed. Will went into the army as a private, and was stationed at Fort Douglas, where he was taking classes at the University of Utah. That winter there was a bad flu epidemic and most of the men in Will's outfit spent time in the hospital. Many men died a a result of this Flu, but Will was one of those who survived after being infected. That same winter, many people in Cedar City died from the flu, also. Henrietta seemed to have a system that was not affecetd by germs, so she was go~le night and day taking care of the sick and burying the dead.' World War I ended Nov. 11, 1918 and Will was honorably discharged Dec. 7, 1918 by C . A. Emmet, 1st Lt. Infantry, U S A . That fall, 1918, when the family was gathered at the Jones home for Thanksgiving dinner, there was a power failure and, since it was a holiday, there was no one readily available to repair the damage. Ann's husband, Bert Gardner, was asked to investigate the trouble since he was a n Engineer. The power was turned off at the plant and Bert started to work on the transformer. T h r o u ~ h some misunderstanding, someone turned the power back on before he was finished, and he was nearly electrocuted. H e was injured severely hut, with proper care and treatment, lived for 2% years after this happened. He was able to 50 back to his teaching position at the college for a while. The year that the flu was so had, Ann and the familt took all precautions in order to protect Bert and prevent him from getting it. Ann did the chores and everything she could to help him; however, there had been too much damage done to his system and he died May 16, 1921. Ann took in boarders and helped Mr. Manning, the vocal teacher at the collene, in order to earn money for her family. They were not in debt and she was able to xet along well. The family were all concerned about her and helped when they could.'
