Lamar moved with his
family to Neola, Utah when he was a teenager.
While living there he and his brothers
were driving a wagon and they stopped and picked up some Indians who were
tired of walking. Lamar had learned how
to speak their native tongue and when he heard them plotting to kill them so
they could steal the wagon and horses Lamar invited them to get off. The family
did not stay in Neola because the ground was alkaline and when they put water
on the crops the gravel would rise up.
Lamar took Edwin and Evelyn to Neola one time. He showed them the house and said the only
thing that had changed was someone had painted the front door green.
(abt. 1926 Lamar Perkins)
