field is a pretty little town made up
of about five hundred inhabitants,
of which the majority are quarry men
I and stone cutters and their families.
The town has a fine school house,
church and parsonage, two stores,
and one blacksmith shop. The two
merchants are selling at the rate of
eighteen hundred dollars of goods a
month, at least one of the merchants
told me, but their; prices on every
thing are enormous as they have no
competition. The quarry men all pay
up after pay day and have to pay
large bills. Money out here seems
to be plenty as there is SO much pub
lie work. There are three flag stone
quarries close to Redfeld which bring
thousands of dollars to Red6eld, all
being paid out in these two stores by
the quarrymen. Ny husband is black
smith at one of these quarries and al
though he gets good wages with rent
to pay and provisions to buy we can
