and Fanny H. E. Nielsen
Married Agnes Memmott Feb 23 1922 in the Manti Temple.
Andrew was from Holden, Utah and lived in a house that his father and bought so that Andrew and his brother Roy could have work clearing the ground of the sage brusy and cedar trees. If they would stay on it for a certain length of time the government would give it to them. In addition Andrew would haul rock salt and people would trade it for molasses, cheese, and fruit. The salt was for cattle to lick, and people would keep it in their ice houses to make ice cream. The farm was a dry farm and they raised wheat, rye, hay and they also made an adobe mill to make bricks for their one room house. It had a rough lumber floor, stove, cupboard, table and chairs, a bed, cot, and a little box with a mirror and wash basin on it where they would clean their hands and face. They heated the water on the stove after obtaining if from the ditch that ran through the land. They called the the hills that it came from, Church Spring Hills. It was very good water. For a fridge they had a box that was setting in a hole dug in the side of the ditch with a gunny sack over it. This was the home that Agnes and Andrew lived in when they got married. It was called Whitewash.
