from grandmother West's scrapbook Barry West WPA Workers Clearing the Pleasanton Road A crew of nearly a hundred men, WPA workers and Grissom Grimes, member of the board of supervisors, shoveled snow all day Tuesday in an effort to open the road from Davis City to Pleasanton that fuel might reach that snow-bound town. In addition to a fuel shortage there, a number of residents are ill and need medical attention. a Crew of residents and farmers from Pleasanton were shoveling from Pleasanton and expected to meet the other crew late yesterday. The road was drifted so badly a snow plow could not be used. The nearly hundred men shoveling all day Monday cleared three miles of Road. Marooned on Way From Garden Grove Wilber Miller and Fred Udd drove to Garden Grove Saturday morning but on the return their car stalled in the deep snow about midway between the Grove and High Point. In trying to work their way out of the snow they ran out of gas. They went to a farm house and telephoned High Point to bring them out some gas. Ray Hill and Dan Bumgarner, driving the truck from the Surbaugh store, reached the Miller car with gasoline. However, the car would not start because snow had drifted in on the wiring. Wilber and Fdred decided to abandon the car and they started to High Point with the Surbaugh truck. The truck on the return was caught in a drift about a mile north of High Point and was unable to get through. The four men in the party walked the balance of the way to High Point and they were just about exhausted when they reached the Surbaugh store. Wilber had his face frosted and the others suffered frost bites as well. At High Point the two Leon men caught a ride into Leon with Harvey Northrup. The Miller car remained in the snowdrift until Monday when it was finally brought into Leon.
