Five Generations of Huntsmans
Five generations of Huntsmans all lived on the land that you see.
Three homes were built and lives were spent, togetherness being the key.
George and Deby were first to settle, here close by the Molen Ditch.
Their children were added one at a time, making them very rich.
Cleon and Naone and Nila brought challenges, joys and the rest.
Living and learning the values set forth, always doing their best.
Parents of George and his sister, Mae, settled in a house next door.
Coming and living by grandkids insured life would not be a bore.
Their lives were all spent doing service for neighbors, church and the town.
If payment were had for all their deeds, there’d be many jewels for their crowns.
Cleon grew up and then married, bringing his Eva from Huntington.
She was a very hard worker; together they knew how to have fun.
Since grandparents, Hyrum and Emeline, lived their lives and passed on,
Cleon and Eva moved into their home when all the renters were gone.
At the CCC camp across the field, a boy named Paul took part.
He came visiting with others and made off with Naone’s heart.
For Nila, school ended and she moved on, up north to learn and grow
The next fifteen years worked and played and on weekends home she’d go.
Cleon’s three sons quickly joined them, but one, little Dennis, died soon.
Evan and Howard were good boys, often humming or whistling a tune.
Depression times were very difficult, working to make ends meet.
George gave some land to help his kids construct buildings on this street.
“Cleon’s Service Station” opened soon, pumping gas and making repairs.
Cleon was very good at this work, always doing more than his share.
And to Naone and Paul, her husband, also some land did George give.
A home they built for their fam’ly, just north on the hill they would live.
Cleon bought and sold farm equipment, a help to farmers in need.
This business was growing quickly, as cattle and pigs needed feed.
Evan married Leona; army service gave them time on their own.
Then back to Ferron and fam’ly to help share the load and not roam.
Soon Howard married Evelyn; college degrees they would obtain.
To Ferron a while, away for awhile and back to Ferron again.
Evan and his fam’ly lived in the home built to the north on the hill.
Then back to the west, across the street their family’s needs to fill.
Howard and fam’ly moved to the house build on the crest of the hill.
The corals on the south in use once again, a need they would fulfill.
Five generations of Huntsmans all lived on the land that you see.
Three homes were built and lives were spent, togetherness being the key.
Mothers and Fathers with standards high for children eager to learn,
Grandmas and Gramdpas glad to help out around almost every turn.
They say that it takes a large village, to raise a girl or boy,
But these honorable, valiant ancestors did it with great joy.
There were some maple syrup sandwiches given to fill the hole,
Or graham crackers and ‘cold cereal’ to fill everybody’s bowl.
There were paper scraps a plenty coming from “Cleon’s Service” trash.
No purchased toys or playthings could compare, NO! Not even cash.
As the youngest of these Huntsmans, we all want to give our thanks.
For the Heritage and mem’ries given, no higher could they rank.
This land that you see before you was lived on and thoroughly loved.
By the Huntsman Clan and their fam’lies; most now have gone on, above.
This land that you see before you was given to Ferron, their town,
To be their last act of service, giving up their beloved ground.
Enjoy your time as you visit here, the land that the Huntsmans did love.
Knowing they want you to do so, it’s a gift as they look from above.
Memories that you will make here will connect with this Huntsman land,
Over one hundred years of time and the five generations grand.
