Yesterday’s answer:
(A)
John Taylor’s pocket knife
As told by L. John
Nuttal:
“After meeting I walked out with Geo. A.
Shumway and my son Wilford to see my land on the Camp Wells bench. On the way
met Bro. Erastus Snow, who informed me that some 10 days [ago] while in Provo
Canyon, near where the Old Toll Gate stood, with his little son, the boy found
a pocket knife with the name of Prest. John Taylor engraved on the handle. He
had cleaned it up and was desirous of finding the proper person to hand it to,
and on seeing me he had concluded I was that person, and if I would accompany
him to his residence he would hand me the knife. I remembered that in the fall
of 1884 I, in company with Prest. Taylor, passed through Provo Canyon and he
must have lost it at that time. The knife is in good repair. I went with Bro.
Snow and he handed me the knife which I shall prize very highly. He would not
take any remuneration for it.”
