Millard County Progress, Fillmore, Utah 64631 Friday, August 17, 1979 Page 4 IIOL DEN HA PPENINGS by Ella Crosland Celebrates birthday Reunion Jess and Estell Bennett, accompanied by her mother, Fauntella 0 A Dear Progress: Please change our address to "Box 40, Talmadge, Utah 84073. We are moving into our new home soon and would appreciate it if you would send our Progress to that address. I really enjoy reading the paper and hearing the news of Fillmore. Thank you, IleneDutson Jensen Response to Letter to the Dissidents In response to the letter about easements through the middle of the block, there are already casements along city streets, so nobody would have to sign an easement if they put the water line along the street where it should be. As to the fact that it would tear up the streets, look at them now and tell me they arent already torn up.

We can put a sewer in and tear up the streets. If we can do that, we can surely put the irrigating water in the streets where it belongs. It may cost a little more, but it will be more convenient and you will not have lawsuits to try to force easements. Name withheld "Walk through lifa and talk to anybody."

I LM (IIKYSLEK CHRISTMAS CARDS HAVE ARRIVED Mary Jane Paxton To Celebrate 90th Birthday The children of Mary Jane Paxton are gathering Saturday to share this special day with their mother. Mary Jane was born on August 18, 1889 at Kanosh, the oldest child of Dennis Bryant and Mary Elizabeth Rogers Manhard. She married Arthur Paxton on September 10, 1906 in Fillmore. The marriage was later solemnized in the Manti Temple. Mary Jane is the mother of eight children.

Her husband Arthur and three sons. Calvin, Stillman, and Kenneth are deceased. Her living children are Cleon Paxton of Creswell, Oregon; Earl and Vivian Paxton, both of Granger, Bonnie Russell, Bountiful, and Sylvia Penney of Kanosh. She has 29 grandchildren, 64 great-grandchildren, and 15 great-greatgrandchildren. Mary Jane has always been active in the LDS Church.

She has taught Primary, Sunday School, MIA, was a visiting teacher and quilt chairman in Relief Society for 20 years. She was health officer for many years and traveled to other towns to help nurse the sick and needy. Until her eyesight failed, she lived in her own home, had a lovely garden and flowers. Her home was filled with relatives and friends at the deer hunt. Many of the boys and girls she taught through the years received quilt tops or quilts for weddings and baby gifts.

She played the harmonica with the Kanosh Band for many programs and parades. She lived all her life in Kanosh until the last few years, when she spends her winters in the northern part of the state with her family and the summers with Theodore and Sylvia Penney. Her greatest regret is that she can't see to quilt or immediately recognize the many friends and relatives who come to visit her.
