I knew Kenneth Bennion in my teens when he told me stories of the
Family’s experiences in Rush Valley.
He told me the story of how
his grandmother learned to read “up-side-down.”
He remembered on occasion
when he entered a room where she was reading, that she would quickly turn the
paper or book from upside-down to the normal reading position.
He also told of the Rush
Valley cabin where those taking care of the livestock would keep their food in
one corner of the room plus a place to sleep over night.
He said that family members using
the cabin would keep all of the food in one corner of the floor. But when
“do-gooders” would enter the cabin this person would sweep the floor
causing the dust to get all over the floor and the food.. “What they didn’t
understand” he said “was that at some point there was as much dirt carried out
on their shoes, as that that coming in.”
