[Abraham H. Cannon] "I received a very good letter from Sarah today, but it contained bad news about my brother Frank. It says that he has been too intimate with some man's second wife in Logan, the man being on a mission, and Father felt so bad about it that he expressed himself that he did not care if Frank never came near him again. This news made me feel very bad." (1)

[The Great Depression] Transients were more and more in evidence. On 26 November 1930, according to the Deseret News, "More than 500 men who came to Salt lake City looking for work from other sections of the country have been picked up during the last three days by members of the police department and sent on their way". Unable to pay rent or meet mortgage payments, many families were dispossessed from their homes. (3)
