Amos S. Warren was not a very large man, but what he lacked in this respeact, he made up for in strong musculr developement. He had dark piercing eyes and black hair. He also wore a mustache. While he was a young man, he had a tintype picture made of himself standing beside his anvil. His hat bri is turned back in front, and his sleeves are rolled up, showing his strong arm muscles. Looking at this picture one can almost believe that Longfellow had him in mind when he penned the words in his famous poem" The Village Blacksmith" The first two verses describe him so very well. they are as follows. Under the spreading chesnut tree The village smithy stands; The smith, a might man is he with large and sinewy hands Are as strong as iron bands. His hair is crips, and black, and long, His face is like the tan; His brow is wet with honest sweat, He earns whate're he can; And looks the whole world in the face For he owes not any man In addition to the blacksmith trade, he was a carpenter, and done all kinds of wood work, such as making tables, cabinets, and many beds. He built houses, and when the necessity arose, he was able to supply, those who needed one, a coffin in which to bury their dead. He homesteaded a farm in Springville, but because he was away from home a great deal during his early life, he rented the farm to others until Amos Benoni and John, his two sons, were old enough to farm it. Amos possessed a rather sentimental nature, and kept things which were full of memories to him. Among his keepsakes are some of the nails which he made on his anvil. Those are cumbersome things compared to the the ones we have today, being made with thick square heads. There is also a honey-capping knife he made to use in gathering the honey from the many hives of bees which he kept the latter part of his life. Also among these things is a printed business envelope bearing the following inscription: A.S.Warren Dealer in All kinds of honey Springville, Utah This envelope is postmarked May 20, 1898 from twin bridges, Montana. There is also an old bullet mould among these things. Tea was brought into the valley in casks lined with heavy tinfoil. This tinfoil was melted down and poured into the mould making a round bullet which was used for ammuntion. There is also a tool which has two prongs, sharpened on each end. This tool was used to husk corn, the prongs being used to slide down each side of an ear of corn tearing the husk away. Here too is his old tool chest. These things are being cared for and preserved by the family of his son John R. Warren in Salem Utah. Like all other pioneer communities, Springville had its share of Indian disturbaces; and, though the pioneers did all in their power to live at piece with the red man, they were constantly in fear of an outbreak of hostilities.
