There were many springs on their farm. The year 1913 Wilford named their place 'Springdale' farm. (B7)

The barn was built in 1916. We used the old telluride poles. The timbers were 3 x 5 feet or 4 x 8 feet. They were 'big'. We used the kitchen porch for saw horses to cut them because it was high enough. I helped father lift them. (TTTT)

The Utah power & light company was called 'Telluride'. They worked three months of the year: July, August & September. They used a horse and buggy to haul their equipment. They paid Wilford to board their horses the other nine months. The colts that were born in March, April, and May we were able to keep. They could not take them with them. They were good working horses and riding horses. (TTTT)

Next to his family and his church Wilford's main interest was raising some of the durham cattle in the country. (B7)

Wilford had a very fine black team of horses named May and Mabel. They would take Wilford from Montpelier ID to Georgetown ID in one hour. They made it to Farmington UT (135 miles) in two days when his father passed away. (B7)

Father and Mother's place (Wilford and Permelia) was the stop-over for general authorities (from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) visiting the Bear Lake stake in Idaho as well as the Star Valley stake in Wyoming. Many times as a boy I went to sleep in one bed and woke up in another. (B7)

Also when Wilford Woodruff was in his seventies he still rode tall and stately on his black stallion 'Diamond'. (H15)
