  The
war
between the United States and Iraq started on 20 March 2003.

US cruise missiles and bombs were dropped on Iraq's capital city, Baghdad.

They were targeting Saddam Hussein, his sons, key members of his leadership and government buildings.

Key battles followed in the Iraqi towns of Umm Qasr, Basra, Nasiriya and Karbala. US military officials admitted the Iraqi resistance was stronger than they had expected, but they slowly moved toward Baghdad.

Once the US forces had captured Baghdad Airport, they met less fighting and started taking control of the capital.

The Central City Bakery
was a two story building owned and built by the Roworth brothers in 1862.  The lower story was 26 feet by 60 feet by 12 feet tall.  The second story was 10 feet tall.  It was constructed of brick and had heavy iron shutters to protect the glass windows.  The roof was constructed of tin, underneath which was four inches of dirt.  In the event of fire, the tin might burn off, but the building would remain protected by the dirt.  The building, which was added to later on the South, was also used as a mercantile store and a mining supply store.  These two buildings were the only buildings on Main Street to survive the fire of 1874.

  Before 1873 most buildings in Central City were constructed of wood.  Despite a volunteer fire company with a hook and ladder wagon, in January of 1873 a
fire destroyed sixteen buildings
on Lawrence Street before it could be controlled.  There was no municipal water supply at the time.  Water was scarce and the firefighters had to draw on the individual household supplies.

On May 21, 1874 another fire broke out.  Despite city efforts to build cisterns and water reservoirs, it was not enough.  In the space of about three hours, 150 buildings burned to the ground.  It was only stopped by the Teller House and Masonic building on the West because the Masonic Building was made of granite and brick and had iron shutters to cover the windows.  The fire burned right past the Roworth buildings on the South inflicting very little damage because of their brick construction and the layer of dirt in the roof.

Several people remained in the building during the fire.  They closed the iron shutters and iron doors and using water from an inside cistern continually splashed water on the iron doors and shutters to keep them cool.

“ … and then Father moved up to the mines in the city of Blackhawk, and then Father moved to a place called Dogtown, about a mile above Central City.  We stayed there two years, Father working in the mines earning good wages. 
I worked in the brickyard
for two summers at two dollars per day. …”

is a trough about six feet long with cleats nailed to the bottom.  Gravel is shoveled into the trough and water is run over the gravel washing the lighter material away while trapping the heavier materials along the cleats.

Lenses
were known in ancient times and were used by Arabian mathematicians.  Lenses were being constructed in Europe in the thirteenth century.  Galileo, in the beginning of the seventeenth century, made the earliest biological observation with the first true microscope when he examined the compound eye of an insect.  Later, Johann Kepler and Christian Huygens would work out the optical properties of the “Galilean microscope.”  But in 1676 Antony van Leeuwenhoek added an entirely new dimension to the science of microscopy when he peered through a microscope of his own making and caught a glimpse of a bacterium.  Not until the nineteenth century would microscopes be improved enough to provide additional information about these organisms.

In the process of making bricks, an
Off-bearer
is the person who takes the molds that are full of clay from the molding table to the drying area and places them on a level bed of sand.  The Off-bearer usually moves several filled molds at a time by use of a pallet or wheel barrow.  At the drying area he removes the mold from the clay, returns the mold to the table and wets and sands the mold to receive the next brick.

2.  And on the

God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that

Brettle
is the accepted spelling of his name.  This is how his daughter spelled her name when she signed her own wedding certificate.

Also, most evidence indicates that it was Elizabeth Brettle’s parents that traveled with the Cottle family, not Henry Cottle’s parents.  Annie Cottle’s version of these events which she told to her grand children in 1939 say that they were Henery Cottle’s parents (which is probably incorrect.)

Sister Randall
said that the lyrics for 'I am a Child of God' came to her in answer to prayer about writing a new song for Primary General Conference.  Sister Randall received the assignment to write the song in 1957 from Primary President Leonore Parmley as the Primary's General Board prepared for the Primary General Conference that year.  Sister Randall went home in contemplation, and retired after praying about it.  In the early hours of the night, Sister Randall awoke, and the words of the song came to her mind.  She wrote them down, gave a prayer thanking God for them, and went back to sleep.  In the morning, she read them to Sister Arta Hale, counselor to Sister Parmley, who approved them, saying, "My goodness girl, they give me goose bumps.  Send them off."  In the years since 1957, the words remain unchanged, except for a suggestion by then-Apostle, Elder Spencer W. Kimball, who wanted the chorus to read "teach me all that I must do" instead of "teach me all that I must know."  Years later, as LDS Church President, Kimball jokingly called 'I am a Child of God,' "the song that Sister Randall and I wrote."
