Barney's Childhood in SLC (from an interview with Vonae)
"I don't remember much before we moved to Third Avenue (I was four or fi v e). But I do remember having chores there. I wasn't too fond of washin g d ishes, but Mother would always prop a hymn book up and have us sing h ymn s if we weren't cooperating perfectly. My job was feeding the chicken s .
On Third Avenue we had a lot 165 feet deep. We kept chickens and rabbit s , before they were outlawed. But we really enjoyed it. We had lots of g oo seberry bushes, current bushes, and fruit trees: plum, apricot, peac h an d apple. My Dad and Mother loved fruit and vegetables. We always ha d a ga rden. I had a lot responsibilities there.
When we moved in 1934, the streetcar ran on Third Avenue. The trolley w a s always running up and down the street. We used to put pennies on th e tr ack and the streetcar would come along and smash them flat. They wou ld tu rn out the size of a quarter! When I was a young boy I had twin ger man sh epherds. I loved those dogs and had a lot of fun with them .
One day one of them ran after the trolley and got ran over. He laid do w n by the old coal furnace in the basement—where it was warm. He only la st ed two to three weeks. That was a hard time. The other shepherd refuse d t o eat the last week to 10 days, so I lost both dogs. I have never ha d a d og since then. It somehow made a big difference to me."
