• Notes

  Doyle W. Anthony, a nephew of Bob Anthony, told me, Richard D. Anthony , h is son, this story in about 1980 when we went to Portage, Utah. We we nt o ver the hill to Pocatello, Valley, and he recalled eating with uncl e Bob , who was herding sheep between Pocatello Valley, and Portage. Uncl e Bo b was in this area, about this time, 1912-1917 . I was born in Portage Utah on the 23 Day of Aug. 1906 in my grandfather ’ s house on the corner of the Main St. in Portage, Utah. My father’s na m e was David Robert Anthony and my Mothers’ name was Eliza Jane Harris A nt hony. I am their first child. (Editors note: Grandfather was Enoch Har ri s and his wife Jane Ann Hoskins. His mother’s name is Anna Eliza on th e r ecords. I don’t know where dad got Eliza Jane, but it seems like he w oul d know better than I. Anyway it points up the fact that history is ba sica lly what you decide it was.) We lived in Portage, Utah until I was about 10 years old. My father h a d a dry farm in Pocatello Valley west of the Mountains from Portage. W e h ad horses, cows, and some sheep, so I really grew up on a farm. I lea rne d to plow, haul hay and milk cows when just a small boy on the farm . I turned six years old and started to school in Portage and after the fi r st day my mother called me to get up and go to school and I called bac k a nd told her that I didn’t have to go to school any more that I was al read y learned. We lived on the dry farm in Pocatello Valley for about five or six yea r s that I can remember. We had to haul all of our water in 50 gallon wo o d barrels for about 5 miles to the spring where we used a long black ho s e to run the water from the spring into the barrel. After getting bac k t o our homestead we would leave the barrel on the wagon and put a smal l bl ack hose in the barrel then suck on the hose until the water starte d to r un out and would fill a wooden trough to water the horses with whi ch we h ad four of, also our chickens we had twelve of, in a small woode n buildin g which my father and I built with some old lumber we brought f rom Portag e and home. We got about 10 eggs a day from the chickens, raised a small garden, b u t it never was very good because we didn’t have enough water for it . My sister Evelyn was born when I was about four years old, and her and m y self grew up in Portage and Pocatello Valley. We played together in ou r e arly life. My mother used to tell us stories about the gospel, and th e li fe of Jesus when we were living out on the dry farm, while my Fathe r woul d plow, harrow, and drill the ground . I used to help my dad haul the wheat from the dry farm in Pocatello vall e y to Portage on a large box built on a sleigh with four runners on, an d t wo horses, Tom and Cornel. We would drive out there early in the morn in g from Portage, Utah, load up the wheat and drive back to Portage wit h th e wheat and then back the next day. So many times in the winter mont hs, o n the way out, we would stop at Uncle Bob Anthony who was a brothe r to m y grandfather, William (Howard) Anthony. He (uncle Bob) was herdin g shee p in the mountains and we always had breakfast with him in the (sh eep) ca mp.
