Leamarado Days Grand Marshal
This is an interesting assignment to write about the history of Bevan Nielson. He is a man of few words and I realize I don’t know much detail about my dad whom I have known for 56 years. Bevan was the third child of the union between Fred Nielson and Francell Bullock Nielson of Cedar City. He was born on June 10, 1930. His siblings still living are Keith Nielson (age 92), Gwen Jackson (age 90), Rae Trovato (age 88) and Max Nielson (age 72). Bevan was raised in Leamington. He would milk cows before he went to school each morning and he raised chickens and used their eggs to buy candy from Johnny Anderson at the Leamington store. He has fond memories of Johnny who was very kind and always wore a hat, tie and suit coat. Eggs were his form of barter during the Depression years. Bevan loved his white horse named Diamond. He always road Diamond and Diamond was a very good work horse. Bevan purchased his first farm when he was sixteen years of age. During early school years Bevan, Don Williams and several others spent the night hauling a horse-drawn carriage to the top of the flat roof of the school house. And in 8th grade during the Christmas break, Bevan’s class was the first to be transferred to Delta Junior High School for bad behavior. They had a teacher who would throw the kids out of a second story window as a punishment for bad behavior. The Leamington kids were transferred to Delta Junior High from then on. In 1950 Bevan fought in the Korean War. He was an artillery sergeant in command of 155 howitzers . He kept in contact for many years with his Army buddies, Oren and Thello Nielson, until Thello passed away a few years ago. Bevan married Joy Alice Paxman from Nephi on November 13, 1953. They met at Mickelson’s Café. Joy was a cheerleader for Juab High at the time. They had three daughters: Brenda Pierce (1954), Diane Evans (1957) and Sandy Ferrell (1960). He has 11 grand children and nine great grand children. When Bevan and Joy were first married, they lived in a 4-room house built of railroad ties on Main Street. It was heated with a coal stove and had roaches in the kitchen. One night during a hard rain one of the sheepherders’ dogs got away and came to the house. Bevan kept the collie and named it Skippy. Skippy was the smartest dog he’s ever known. Skippy would help find lost cattle from the mountain by hand signals from Bevan. Bevan and Joy bought a second home that was used at the Topaz Japanese internment camp. They lived there until their children were grown and then moved to a home built by Joy’s brother. Joy passed away on October 14, 1988 and Bevan married Ellen “Mike” Ballow Bowles of Nephi in July of 1989. She passed away on October 26, 2006. Bevan has been a farmer all his life. He is a perfectionist in running his farm. He does not believe in debt. (He knew how to squeeze a buffalo [nickel].) He would wait until he had cash before making any equipment purchases. | ||
