- | '''Roy''': But they savvied that maybe they'd move to Toquerville . . . and there's where the Naegles lived; that's where he got acquainted with the Naegles. They called it Utah Dixie. That was the place where it really, really was Dixie; it was warm all the time. Somebody had traded the Wilhelms a bunch of guinea hens, and the guinea hens would just come along, just squat down and lay an egg wherever they . . . you could go look at the yard and here's eggs all over the yard. They never set on the eggs, but the eggs would lay there and it was such even temperature, that directly, why one of 'em would hatch. You had eggs and little guinea hens all over the place. Pa thought that was quite a thing. He always wanted to try guinea hens up around Vernon but he was 'fraid it was so cold they couldn't even live up there. That's where they got acquainted with the Naegles, not knowin' that part of the Naegle family and the Wilhelm family would be called to come out to Arizona later. | + | '''Roy''': But they savvied that maybe they'd move to Toquerville . . . and there's where the Naegles lived; that's where he got acquainted with the Naegles.
