• Notes

  Frank was killed by a bull. Courtship of Franklin Fredrick Ballif and Amy Florence Chadwick Frank wrote: Our courtship was done mostly in a white top buggy in the w i nter which had a one horse shay, called a cutter. One cold winter da y o r night I went to Preston and got Amy who was going to school there a nd t ook her to Franklin to a dance. The weather was twenty below zero. J ust b efore we go down the hill to the mill, there was a culvert over a d itch a nd one of the runners went off the culvert and we tipped out of th e sleig h, quilts and all, and there we lay together. Well we soon got u p and go t fixed in the sleigh and I say 'well, where did you lay last. ' Had a nic e time at the dance. Then on our way home just east of the li ttle mountai n Amy shook herself and said 'my it’s cold.' So I put my ar m around her a nd held the quilt, and she said ‘aint you fraid of runnin g into a snow dr ift?’ I said ‘why, do you want me to drive with both han ds’ and she sai d ‘I'd rather.’ So I drove the rest of the way to Presto n with both hand s and we never hardly spoke a word until we got there. T he night she prom ised to be mine I asked her if I couldn’t have a kiss a nd she said she wo uld rather give the first one over the alter, so I sai d very well. So th e first kiss was in the Logan Temple. Maybe you thin k that was pretty dr y courting, but I enjoyed all our courtship.
