  		A Tribute Philip Stringham and Caroline Ann Crouch Stories, Poems, and Tributes from their Children
  		A Letter about Sylvanus Collett A 1968 letter written by Bryron to his sister Alice Snow containing memories of their father. An Excerpt: "We never had to work on Sunday more than to take care of the water and the cows but I can remember one Sunday when there was some sickness going around and there wasn't any church meetings. Father and Alley Anderson had some kind of trouble. I don't know just what, but they weren't the best of friends but this one Sunday morning when we had had breakfast Father said to me, "We don't work on Sunday much but there isn't any church today. Mr. Anderson cut that big patch of hay and now he is sick in bed. I don't think it would hurt much if you put the harness on the horse and went and raked it for him. It will be to dry tomorrow. ... After that Father and Mr. Anderson became good friends."
  		Some of the Early Experiences of My Parents by Carrie Claire Stringham Hacking Excerpts from Personal History of Carrie. "Many times I have heard father tell of the time that Captain Day and Pardon (Pard) Dodds rode into our dooryard and said, 'Stringham, you'll have to move off. This is government land. Make arrangements to leave in 10 days. We will pay you for your corrals and buildings.' My father calmly let them have their say. He went into the house and took from the cupboard shelf his deed to the land and showed it to the man, who rode away with the decision that Stringham was not to be scared off his land for their own selfish purposes."
  		A Tribute to my Father-in-Law, Philip Stringham by Ella Wimmer Stringham An Excerpt: "Grandfather's family, with others, lived in Ashley Valley during the winter of 1879, known as the "Hard Winter." The weather was so severe, it killed the livestock. They had no horses to use. They had their new farmland, which had to have water before they could grow crops. Grandfather (Philip Stringham), Robert Bodily and one other took their shovels and dug a canal that furnished the first irrigating stream of water. Each day they ate lunch of slap jacks made out of musty corn or wheat and dipped it in the cold water."
  		Rembrances of my Childhood by Ethelwynne (Winnie) Stringham Collett An Excerpt: "I remember picking up sage brush after father had plowed and grabbed it. Father would then burn it at night. Then we three children, Claire, Grace and I would have a good time dancing and laughing in the firelight. Father was so patient with us, for we were lazy and got tired picking up the brush."
  		Some of the Things I Remember about My Father Philip Stringham by Grace Stringham Colton An Excerpt: "I remember a sled he made for the family to ride in. It was made of large branches of trees. Two seats. One facing the horse and the other facing the back. We girls, Claire, Win and I, rode on the back seat; and more than once we were dumped in the snow as the horse would start quickly or stop suddenly."
  		Appreciation of a Wonderful Father by Susan Stringham Shaffer An Excerpt: "I will never forget the way he used to sing to wake us up in the mornings. As he made the fire in the old cookstove, "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning," "Catch the Sunshine," and other Sunday School songs. The girls or mother would have the breakfast ready when all the chores were done. We would all be around the big table."
  		"Don't Be Frightened" A story that William, the son of Philip, tells about his father being licked on his face while sleeping out under the stars.

  		Ethelwynne Stringham Collett Tells Her Own Story An excerpt: "When I was six years old, Father and Mother already being married in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City, heard they should be sealed to each other, so to the Logan Temple they went. They had five children, four girls and a boy. So we were sealed to our parents then. I remember going and staying with My Grandfather Crouch, who lived there and the dear second wife he lived with, gave us some sweet yellow apples. There were the best I ever tasted." - See more at: http://www.myfamilyonline.com/getperson.php?personID=I3&tree=T6#sthash.XgBaxPkQ.dpuf
