Memoirs From the Memoirs of Crawford Marion Gates (1921) about his mother, Leila Adair (1897-1989) :
Gates says: "In her home her father, Jedediah Adair , brought a piano, out at Widtsoe, Utah, which to us now is in the middle of nowhere in Southern Utah. To have a piano in a farmhouse in Widtsoe, Utah in 1908 or 1910 or 1912 was an unusual thing. So she grew up with some music in her home, and she and her sisters all played by ear. They didn’t have piano teachers out there. So she could play the hymns by ear, and she was appreciative of good music. In San Francisco she wanted to go to the symphony concerts and she attended chamber music and other recitals, the theater, and the exhibits. She also became quite a reader and read many good books. So even though she didn’t have more than two years of college at Dixie Normal, she had a thirst for some intellectual and cultural life."
