B.A.C. She was born in Cedar City when her father, Milton Bennion, was the first principal &he Branch Korrnal School. Her family were friends of the Joneses, in fact Henrietta and :Inn had tended Claire when she was a baby. As kids, Will and Rass used to haul water to their house. With that common background, and having a good round of social activities at school and church, Will and Claire developed an interest in each other." Will wrote: "In the fall of 1923, I met one of the finest girls that ever lived, and our friendship grew until spring when we decided that, if it was acceptable to our folks, we would be married that fall. So, on Aug. 14, 1924, we went to the Salt Lake Temple, and were married." They started out living in two rooms in the family home and, when Will's mother died, they moved into the entire house. Lehi W. continued living with them until 1932 when he moved to Ann's home. Henrietta and Ferd Hintze were living in Denver in 1920, and that fall they came to Cedar City for a visit with the family. Ferd wrote the following about this trip: "A day in September to be Remembered. . . . At the end of niy work in Wyoming, I drove to Cedar to get my family for the trip back home to Denver. It happened to he 'Fruit Festival' time in St. George, so Ann and Bert offered to take care of our children for a day while we drove down for a special treat. and look at placcs we had never seen before. Henrietta had been in Dixie to get fruit, hut never went to St. George, which made it especially interesting for her. It was a pleasant fall day and only 60 miles to drive, so Brother and Sister Jones (Henrietta's parents) went along with us to meet a lot of their old friends and enjoy the feast of Dixie's wonderful fruit - figs, grapes and all the rest. It was a gala occasion with many of Iron County's folks to meet and nlingle with. We drove back home to Cedar in beautiful hright n ~ o o n l i ~ hBrother and Sister Jones, who often sa11g t o ~ e t h e r t. at parties, sang many of their familiar s o n g like, "Row hIy Bark." I had learned the same s o n g when I was a boy and 12ncle Brig Ashton, Lehi's cousin, was the principal and taught us to sing in the Big Cottonwood puhlic school near Salt Lake. I t made the trip seem short and a most happy way to finish a day of pleasure and excitement.'"
