Lawrence J. Bills was born in Pleasant Grove, Utah, February 14, 1911. When he was five years old, the family moved to the Lost River Country in Idaho. His parents were John L. Bills and Agnes L. Cheminant. There were three brothers and four sisters in the family.
Time went on. As a young boy, Larry worked in a grocery store. He eventually bought the store and named it Saveway.
Larry decided that Salmon could use another grocery store. He brought the Saveway store to Salmon. Soon after the move, Evelyn met Larry and started going together.
After Larry and Evelyn had gone together for a short time; they knew this was it. They went to Ogden, Utah and got married in 1932. Their first home was in Mackay, Idaho.
Larry worked in one of the store they still owned there. After three weeks. Dad Bills wanted them to come back to Salmon and work in the store here. They were glad to come back as their families were all here and always loved this country.
Their daughter, Anita Loree, was born May 7, 1934. Jon was born on April 15, 1938, Gary was born February 18, 1940, and Lawrence Patrick joined the family, October 5, 1940. They are a great family.
Dad Bills was drowned in the Salmon River in June, 1933. The cable broke and let him into the water. Didn't find his body until the high water went down.
The family continued to run the store. Edmond closed the store at Mackay and came to Salmon.
Larry decided he would like a change so he sold the store to Edmond and went mining. Left Salmon and went to a mine at Deadwood, Idaho. This is in the mountains about one hundred twenty five miles from Boise. It was a beautiful place. There was good hunting and fishing. Made a lot of good friends there.
They spent five years in Deadwood. The mine closed and Larry leased the mine for a year. He had to quit the mining as his health was being affected from working underground and went to Arizona for the winter.
Returning to Idaho and purchased the ranch from Evelyn’s mother, Mrs. Wallace Slavin.
Larry always wanted to try his luck at raising mink. He bought twenty for a start. Then he kept adding a few, until he had quite a bunch. Larry also had cattle and a few sheep.
The family all worked together to get things going. It was a good life on the farm.
As the kids all grew up; they got married and had families of their own.
Anita, Gary, and Patrick got their education in other fields. Jon bought the ranch. He and his wife, Linell, and boys run it.
