Fireworks and barbecues mark Independence Day
DRUE TEBBS-MEEK
548-6901
The Fourth of July cel-
ebration was filled with ac-
tion in our smallcommuni-
ty. Firecrackers resounded
and fireworks were shoot-
ing in the sky with their
noises and brilliant lights.
Lots of people had vis-
itors for the long weekend
and enjoyed each other's
company as they celebrated
with good meals, outdoor
barbecues and close com-
panionship. There were
many flags displayed, some
houses had patriotic deco-
rations and the weather co-
operated; it was not blaz-
ing hot, with a warm wind
and a cool cloudy evening
and the warm wind became
COO1.
Later, the thunder and
lightning arrived and a
rainstorm swept the area
that did not deter the fire-
works. What a splendid
way to express our freedom
with great displays of pa-
triotism.
Mac and Edie Crosby
have returned from Boston
after a long week or so of
traveling. Their son, Jesse,
and his wife, Amber, and
three children, Peter, 6,
Emilia, 4 and Eliza, 1, have
been in Logan, Utah, where
Jesse attended Utah State
to gain his clinical psychol-
ogy degree. He has been
awarded an internship at
Harvard Medical School
and the family will be there
one to three years.
Mac and Edie went to
Logan to help them pack,
and then assisted them by
driving the moving van for
five long days. The young
Crosby family followed the
van in their automobile,
moved into their new place
and are now trying to ac-
climate themselves to city
life. Mac and Edie flew
back by plane and are re-
lieved that their long ven-
ture is accomplished. They
will miss the family but
what an accomplishment
this young man and his
family have earned. Con-
gratulations to the Crosby
family.
Carlyle Eyre's funer-
al was last Saturday at
10 a.m. When people who
were not in his family read
the obituary posted last
week, his war record, his
Purple Heart, Silver Stars
and his many accomplish-
ments astounded most of
us. He was a quiet, unas-
suming man whose many
good deeds influenced
young and old. We grieve
his passing because of his
wonderful spirit and gifts,
but he suffered ill health
for many years and has
been so lonesome for his
wife who died last year.
He lived a long and fruit-
ful life, so the sadness is
alleviated a bit because he
is no longer in pain and his
achievements will live on
in his children, grandchil-
dren and all his posterity
and those who knew him
and were his friends.
Golden Welch and his
younger brother, David
Welch, sons of the late Art
and Mary Welch, drove

formation near Cowley.
from Las Vegas and Salt
Lake City to attend the
funeral services in honor
of their friend and men-
tor. Golden said he began
working with Carlyle and
his father Elmer Eyre at
the young age of 8 when
Elmer Eyre taught him
to drive a tractor. Both
Golden and David worked
for the Eyres during their
younger years and the two
Eyre men impacted their
lives with their work ethic
and kindnesses to the two
young fellows during their
time together. Many rela-
tives and friends traveled
long hours to honor Carlyle
Eyre and his life. He and
his family will not be for-
gotten.
A few weeks ago, I was
at the home of David and
Leta Marchant and while
there looked at the pic-
tures in their home that
family members and their
children had painted. As
we walked out to their
door I noticed a picture
of a young, shapely wom-
an standing on this big
rock pointing her rifle. It
looked like a picture of An-
nie Oakley, and Leta told
me a delightful story of her
mother, Angiy Hope Bal-
lard.
Angiy Hope Ballard
was born in 1894 in Drap-
er, Utah. The family came
to Burlington to live around
1888. They were very poor,
so they had to live off the
land. Hope's older broth-
ers Ross and Seth taught
Hope to shoot when she was
about 8 years old. The fam-
ily didn't have much money
and they had to travel to
Basin on a horse or in their
buggy to get supplies.
Food and ammunition
were very dear, so each shot
had to count. Hope became
the huntress of the family
as she became very good
at handling her gun. She
killed rabbits, sage hens
and grouse, pheasants and
deer to feed their large
family. Hope attended el-
ementary school in Burl-
ington and came to Cowley
for high school at the Big
Horn Academy. There she
met the love of her life, El-
mer Eyre. When Elmer and
his mother and dad and the
rest of the children served
a LDS mission in Illinois
for two years, Hope went
to work at Pahaska Teepee
and waited for her sweet-
heart and then they mar-
ried and lived on the fam-
ily farm.
Elmer's parents, Wil-
liam Naylor and Julia Vic-
toria Smith Eyre, came to
this area in 1900 by train
to Bridger, Mont. They
went to the railroad camp
at Pryor Gap and spent
the winter building rail-
road grade, and probably
lived in a tent during the
harsh months. They then
moved to Cowley. They
had eight children. Leta
said her dad sang each day
in the morning to his chil-
dren and danced and was a
joyful, energetic man.
Genevieve Mann, his
granddaughter, said he
was the best grandpa in the
world because of his joyous
nature, his singing and his
love of dancing. During my
growing years, I watched
Mr. and Mrs. Eyre attend
every dance in Cowley and
the area and they were so
graceful and full of life and
joy. What grand memories
of a family who were so im-
portant to us all.
