Ann became very much a part of the music life of the community. She sang in the first presentation of the Messiah in Cedar City and participated in operas and choirs for many years." When Bert died, she moved in with the family from the old Seaman home on second west, and in 1924 she, with Lehi's help, built a home a t 173 So. 200 West. Years later, Lehi lived with Ann in this home from 1932 to 1947. In the spring of 1919, Lehi M. was released from the army and returned home to help with the family livestock busines. In November, Will was with the sheep at Antelope in the desert west of Iron Springs. Bill Bess and Joe Hollander were the herders. The sheep were divided into two herds, and Will traveled hack and forth hetween the two, helping and supervising anything that needed to be done. Lehi M. brought a light team and wagon out to Antelope with a load of hay for the sheep. He and Will agreed to meet each other after he had loaded his wagon with wood, so that they could travel home together for Thanksgiving. Will left camp in a heavy snowstorm, but was dressed warmly and ~ had a large team. As he approached Iron S p r i n near Big Hollow, he wa? walking behind the team and wagon. I t was difficult to see very far in the blinding snowstorm hut, he happened to glance hack and could barely see Lehi's outfit in the distance, stuck in the snow and mud. When Lehi M. left home the weather w a nice, so he was not dressed for such a storm and was almost frozen. It would have been very easy for Will to have passed by without every seeing him. They hooked the two teams to Will's wagon, leaving the loaded wagon there, and made it to Iron Springs. They were grateful that things turned out all right and Will said, "I'm sure I saved my brother's life." Later that fall. Rass Will and Lehi M. went back to Antelope with more hay and supplies and brought the wagon home. That winter was what they d l considered to be a very "tough" winter.'" O n Oct. 20, 1920, Will left for Australia to serve a mission for the L.D.S. Church. Will wrote: "I left my mother and father again for 2% years. The voyage to Australia was very interesting - we stopped at Hawaii, then at the Samoan Island, and landed in Sydney on a very beautiful day. I was sent to Brisbane in Queensland to enjoy another summer, and met some very fine people. Elder Harris and I took a country trip.back to Sydney, 750 miles and were gone three months. I then labored in New Castle, Golbourne and Melbourne. Came home in the spring ( 1923 ) for another summer and more sheep care." National Prohibition was adopted in the U.S.A. in 1920. Public opinion, pro and con, with respect to thin issue, cut deeper across the line of political parties, rural and urban life, churches and families than any other question of the generation in which the 14 years 1920-33 fell. 201
