My Grandparents home on 11th East Street, Salt Lake City, Utah. At the time of the Life, History, Romance, and Happenings of the Harline Family this home was a little different than it is today as pictured here. The house was the same but the surrounding trees, fields, and farm were much less modern. I remember most vividly the Sunday gatherings of the family on the lawn. I earned my first money picking fruit on this, my Grandfather Harline's farm. |
| My birthplace. This was the second home my parents lived in after their marriage. It is still standing on 13th East Street and Murphy's Lane in Salt Lake City, Utah. Little do I remember of this place; it was remodeled recently as this picture shows, and it was quite different when we lived there. I was eight months old when my parents moved from here; my only memories of it are as I visited it with my cousins. We had many good times swimming in the canal just back of the house. |  |

This is the nome to which we moved when I was about nine years old. In back of this house is a two room "lean-to" that we lived in for about four years while this new "modern" bungalow was being built. My Father carried out his ideas in architecture. The stones are granite rocks that Father and Clive gathered in Cottonwood Canyon. The two front rooms are of a beautiful red wood. It is on 9th East Street in Salt Lake City, Utah. |
| This is the second home we lived in after we moved to the city. It is on F Street just below 6th Avenue. We lived here when I attended the Sixth and Seventh and Eighth Grades in School. We left this home to come to California in 1922. The two memorable happenings here were the lightening and thunder storms which I enjoyed every day during one summer and my Sunday walks. Clive and I often walked through the foothills and some times to the Capitol grounds. |  |
