“During the winters in old Mapleton, a popular thing to do was to go ice-skating. Sometimes the older kids wanted to go in the night to skate by the light of the moon. The girls’ mothers would make pots of chili or stew, and they would all head to one of a few places they liked to skate. One was down in the Big Hollow; the pond would freeze over and make a nice area to skate. The other was the old reservoir up by the base of Maple Mountain.

Some years, the farmers would flood their fields in the winter and the water would freeze, turning the entire fields into one big ice-skating rink. The farmers weren’t always too fond of these ice-skating parties though, because in order to stay warm, the kids needed to make bonfires to huddle around when they weren’t skating. But instead of bringing their own firewood, they used the fence posts that were near the skating area. In the spring when the farmers let their livestock out, the livestock would get loose and the farmers would find that their fences had been used as firewood by the ice-skaters.”

Those who grew up in Mapleton have fond memories of their childhoods. The above memory is from Aaron Bruce Mendenhall Jr. printed in Mapleton, A Collection of Folk’s Tales by Erik C. Brinkerhoff.

Those who grew up in Mapleton have fond memories of their childhoods. Below is a memory from Emogene Bird Manwaring Byrne (pictured third from left with her siblings) printed in Mapleton, A Collection of Folk’s Tales by Erik C. Brinkerhoff.

“Just over the hill from our farm was a pretty meadow in which bull-rushes circled a large pond. Just opposite the pond was a tunnel and out of that tunnel flowed a clear stream of clean water along the edge of which grew lovely tender watercress. This tunnel was surrounded with oak brush, which gave the spring its name, “Oak Springs.”

After mother had baked bread, we children would spread nice fresh butter on large slices of it, take a little bag of salt and hit out for Oak Springs. Here we would gather watercress and sit on a log by the pond, listen to the birds sing, and eat our watercress and homemade bread and butter. Those were carefree, happy days for us. The wildflowers bloomed everywhere, and many times we gathered wildflowers for Memorial Day; we loved to do it.”
