Interview with Roy Wilhelm, December 24, 1992

'''Roy''': While they was livin' there at that place, why Pa kind of got interested in Indians. Well, they had an Indian that come by and he'd mooch 'em for something to eat.  Brigham Young had put out this order it's cheaper to feed 'em than it is to fight 'em.  So this old boy would be there every night at the back door and knockin' on the door and he wanted all he could eat and so they put a big bowl of bread and milk or whatever they had.  Finally one time he showed up but he didn't come to get anything to eat; he’d worked for somebody and they'd paid him off with a bottle of wine.  He got drunker than a skunk and he climbed up on a  . . .  Was ya ever at Rockville?  There's a bluff along one side, and these great big, old boulders, part of the bluff that hadn't weathered enough to fall plumb down, stickin' out away from the bluff . . .  the highest of 'em about thirty feet high. Anyhow, this Indian was up on a big one that was on the back of their lot, and he was drunk and had a butcher knife and he was cursin' the Mormons. He'd take a shot of wine and then he'd wave the butcher knife, "Gonna kill all the Wormons!" Pa was scared to death and he had a fear of Indians from that time on.
