• Notes

  In 1920 LeRoy, age 9, is living in Provo, UT, with his parents, sister and 5 brothers. According to the book, Building Hoover Dam: An Oral History of the Great Depression by Andrew J. Dunar and Dennis McBride--Leroy Burt says that "In 1929, at the start of the depression, I was working a little hamburger joint in Salt Lake City called Snappy Service Lunch. These hamburgers sold for a nickel each. That's what I was doing in 1929. In October of 1929 I was married. I was 19 years old. In 1929 I was transferred to manage one of these little hamburger places in Long Beach, CA. Of course, my first baby came along, so we came back to Salt Lake City in early '31. I came on down here (Boulder City) because my father had the contract to plaster the first 12 government houses on Denver Street.
