Edward Milo Webb early history continued
As time passed by father grew taller and taller and his shirt grew shorter and shorter the tale of which he kept down by tying pebbles in the corners. Also, his pants grew thinner and thinner until finally two round holes appeared in the seat. His mother took care of this problem with some red flannel, her only patch material and promptly won for him from his older brother the name of “redeye”. The little Indian boys quickly noticed and pointed. This, however, was entirely uncalled for since the only clothing they wore when they wore it was a makeshift breech clout which very seldom covered the subject.
At this time most of the Indians in the section of the country we're friendly to the white people due to the friendship of Chief Kanoush. He was a splendid type of American Indian and never broke his promise to befriend and protect the early pioneers in Fillmore. This probably accounts for father's comparative safety while in their territory herding his sheep when he was nine years of age. Father went with his mother who had married Bishop Alexander McCrae to Salt Lake City and live there for a year. They returned to Fillmore before the United States troops came. For several years following his return to Fillmore, father worked on a Brickyard and then helped his mother and three other families settle Corn Creek. When he was 16 years old father bought a lot and on it planted an apple orchard. The first bore fruit the year he was married. After his mother's family returned from Deseret where they lived awhile until the place was broken up father worked at tanning leather and learned the trade. He was 19 years of age at this time in 1865 when the Black Hawk War broke out. Edward Milo Webb enlisted May 10th 1866 as a private and James company first regiment cavalry Utah territory militia Fillmore city Utah. After the close of the war he was honorably discharged after serving more than 30 days in the war against the Black Hawk Indians.

Monday September 6th, 1943
I'm so tired tonight my body aches so I can't rest and I can hardly walk. My stomach has been bothering me so much again that I have so many headaches. I went through the house thoroughly this morning. I work as fast as I could until 2. I rested then for a while then I pressed the curtains for Danielle’s room. Mrs. Linus came over and chatted a while I was ironing and a little longer. Harvey got home and this evening he helped me hang the curtains. I have washed some hand laundering too, so I'm pretty well ready for tomorrow. Harvey Jr. phoned from Ryan again and we completed plans for this Wednesday visit.
Tuesday September 7th
This morning I got up early and did up the finishing touches on the House. Then I got ready to go down to meet the train. Harvey had wanted to be here to meet the train too, but I was so late he decided he had better go back to Nogales because he has to be there tomorrow to go out to see Harvey. I wanted to get about half ham after I got to the depot before the train came in at 11:15. Dorcille looked so sweet I was so glad to have her back. We couldn't get her luggage then, so we came home and went back later in the afternoon. I went to the income tax office to get the forms to make a declaration and then we had dinner and a show. Afterwards got the baggage and came home. Kenneth came over for a while and Harvey got home about 9.
Wednesday September 8th
We got up late this morning and did up the work. Dorcille has worked all day on her room. She went shopping for groceries first. I made 3 batches of candy to take out to Harvey junior. Harvey and Dorcille ran up to Clint and Delis just before dinner. Clint has been home on a fine day leave. Harvey took him some fish. I didn't feel good and so stayed home and finished up the candy and got dinner. I rested and took a nap in the afternoon. Then we got ready and went out to Ryan school to see Harvey Jr. This is the first time he has been here. He looked grand and handsome. We were quite disappointed because they had called a meeting for 7:30 so we got to visit only about 1/2 an hour. It was so good to see him even for that long. On the way home Harvey said he had to go to Nogales, so Dorcille and I decided to get off at town and go to a show. We saw “Proudly we hail” it was a new realist war picture and affected Dorcille quite deeply. We were until 11:45 then went over for a taxi. We had to wait 30 minutes for one. While we were there Priscilla Payne and Geraldine Maxwell came up and spoke to us. Dorcille still thinking about the show wasn't very sociable.
Thursday September 9th
Today I have been working on the tax declaration. Harvey hasn't come back yet from Nogales and I don't know what to do because I don't like to pay it until he sees it and understands it and yet I want to go to town tomorrow and get it paid and over with and that is the only day that seems free for me to go before the time period is up.
Kenneth came over again a while ago and he and Dorcille have gone out for something to drink he came over this evening earlier and visited for some time.
Friday September 10th
I worked on the income tax declaration this morning, but I discovered that it had to be signed by Harvey too. So I decided I would wait until tomorrow to take it down. We worked on Dorcille's things the rest of the day and accomplished quite a bit. Aunt Irene phoned and wanted us to come over and spend the evening. Harvey got home and so could go too. Elma Udall, Haiti Sandler, Rex McRae, Kenneth, Ralph and Edna, and Irene, Dorcile and me two were there. We enjoyed the visit and the sherbert was quite delicious. Harvey came home with an awful cold. I have been wondering how long he could go without one.

Scriptures
1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
2 And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;
3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den.
9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.
Revelations 21
Isaiah 11
1. And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son
