H SHERIFF AND CLERK
VISIT AMERICAN FORK
B Clerk Robinson Aihiniccs"Noiel Ideas
BB on Solving the Indigent Problem.
Sheriff East and County Clerk Jtob-
'BB inson were in American Fork Wed-
BB ucsday, the former Bcrviug civil pa-
BB pcrs and the latter pu business per-
BB tainlng to the widows' pension fund.
BJ Mr. Kobliison, who has tho dlstrl-
BJ butlon of the peiiBlou rund, personally
BB makes an Investigation or every up-
BB plication. Tho last legislature pro-
BB vldcd for an appropriation or $10,000
BB for. this purpose, but Mr, Roblnsoiv
fl says that if all -tho applications foi
BB holn were u' lowed that liavo been
Bfl made it would have required an ap
B proprlatlon or over $50,000 last year".
BB Widows sppllcd for holpy that, had
Bfl lli6i'snndir"flf H)irar79 loanetrtfWitMKi
Bfl Interest, and Borao that owned due
Bfl farms. Help Is only extended where
Bfl It Is actually needed, and then only
fl In sums or ?5, $10 or ?1G per month
H He says the rund has a tendency to
fl cnuBO relatives who formerly helped
fl tho wldoWB to ccaBC and expect the
Bfl county to afisumc tho burden. The
Bfl county Is taking care that no one wlm
BB really needs help fallB to get it.
Bfl Mr. Robinson advances the idea that
BB ir there wcro no rebates or widows'
Bfl taxcB there would bo an abundance
fl for taking euro or tho Indigent. Of
H course he docs not think that the
fl widows should pay taxcB and get nc
fl help, but he thinks that the Indigent
flj should pay tuum the samo as other
people. Then they should grt Jiolp
H frnm Mm cnimtv. which flllldH should
B bo taxed against the property. When
tho owner dies his property should be
BB iiold, and If llinro Ib any over after
BB the county has been reimbursed for
BB expenses In help extended, then the
BB balaueo should bo divided among the
BB heirs He thinks It unfair for the
BB county to help an Indigent who has
BB property, and then at death have the
BB property divided-among iclntlvca who
BB refused to help their benefactor.

William -Henry Chlpman, whoso
birthday anniversary wo havo met to
commemorate and colebratc, wns born
February 1, 1833. Today, If ho was
living, ho would havo been an oven 81
years of Tigc. Wo aro happy,thls oven-
Ing to meet, which fact la evidence
that wo still honor our father, aire
and leader. In tho year 18C5, when
ho wub 22 years of ago, ho todkjto him
a wife, Martha Smith, who wiib born
In Weekly County, Tennessee, In 1836,
she being 19 years of ngs. ThlB noble
woman, who believed the Gospel to bo
the revealed word of nod, became tho I
mother of two beautiful daughters I
Mallssa and Martha; tho lnaUnatntid,
when only six weeks old, the" mother I
passed from this life, October 29, 1858, I
at tho age or 22. 8ho had received I
premonition or this (separation and I
sccmcu recoiiciieu 10 mmi du uj.-""
tho will of God. In the year 1858 I
William Henry Chlpman having found I
It necessary to marry again, both for I
tho benefit of theso two children and I
hlmseir. Ho consequently married I
Eliza Filcher, who was born February I
1, 1S40, In Hanley, Starrordshlre, Eng- I
Jand.'' -She boro him nlno children. I
She, like many others, had Burfcrcd I
mhch helping to earn that llttlo homp. I
food and clothing. In tho spring or I
1859 Eliza shared her hUBband with
Sarah Bimms, who was born in St. I
Louis, NovcmberJ5, 1842, and who is
a survivor. Sarah boro fourteen chll?
dren, two of which number died whlld
Infants. These two women workedi
and tolled hard nnd long, and while-
often their husband's work wau from
Bun to sun, their work was noyen
dono, They shared much hardship
and manvirialsr sohto llttlo Joyumfflj
.muchjKwrow. ,K vssJfpt' .uB '
tKls nfoTbcnig mourned by a husband?
a companion wife and a hoBt of chil
dren and a multitude of frlendB. In
mo Spring OI IOOO nom a 1TO.UUU
daughter, Martha, departed this llfo,
leaving a husband and three children.
This made a total or thrco children
deceased two sons and one daughter;
twenty-two who aro still living, and
tho majority aro hero and represented
with Good and honorable tamllles.
William Henry Chlpman, with his
thrco wives, did much-Ju pioneering
this western country. They tolled
with this awful desort and It now
blossoms like the rose. It Is through
their untiring efforts that many of his
family enjoy tho bounties or llfo. Our
religious rrecdom, our advanced edu
cation, our Intercourse with othor
stntea, our lovely towns and valleys,
aro In a mcasuro due to our parents.
U wo were spending our tlmo clearing
tho vast acres, supplying an Irrigation
project, fighting Indians and earning
our bread, theso nnd many other
workB employed the tlmo or these
noble hands wo would In our souls
be better men and women. Wo could
find no time for tho grosser things or
lire. I bellovo that we should emu
late the) lives or theso good spirits
moro than wo do. For bo lnrge a
family thoro aro few bo good but we
could bo much better. Let us then
live bo thai when wo reach that goa'
whore wo are called to meet our dear
rather and kind mothers, wo will meet
them with not a rear and blush upon
our countenance, but with a glow f"
truth and virtue upon our brow that
will bespeak our nobli lives. All the
hardships Buffered by our piireutH
vcro for us and the Gospel Let us
then be worthy of tho name Chlpman
ainj emulate our parents' rellgloiiB
IndiiBtrlouB, God-fearing lives.
