      BIOGRAPHY:
      1. Several Daughters of the Utah Pioneers biographies exist about Charles Henry Hales. In the following partial transcription, Lucy is mentioned. Crista Ell Hales Simons, granddaughter of Charles: "In the Spring of 1854, Charles Henry and his family moved to Big Cottonwood... For five years they lived there and farmed. Grandfather helped to build the old paper mill which still stands as relic of the past. In 1856, grandfather had rented a farm and put in crops. Just as plants began to make the fields green, the terrible grasshoppers came, destroying the crops as they did all over Utah. But through faith and prayers, their crops were saved by the sea gulls, which God sent to their rescue. In 1858 they moved to Spanish Fork... He was a member of the Spanish Fork Choir. At the age of eight years, in the absence of the leader, he led the choir in the Church of England... During the trouble with the Indians, grandfather and his two sons served as home guards... Charles Henry injured his foot while driving a team and wagon. Although his foot was hurt, he walked to Provo to a meeting. I remember my grandmother, Francis Brunyer, telling my father she had a dream about the three of them (meaning Chalres Henry, his first wife, and herself) and that something was going to happen to one of them. It happened to grandfather, and he did not live so very long after this. Grandfather was also a firm believer in the paying of tithes. He related to us one time that while making campfire in the canyon one night, he saw three personages in white, and each time he turned his head to look at them, one disappeared until all three had gone. He always regretted that he did not have the strength to sepak to them. Grandmother cooked for her family of 13 in a large kettle over a fireplace until the oldest child, Lucy Elmina, taught school, and bought her first cook stove. They baked in a brick oven outside and had to clean the snow off the oven before baking the bread, but made delicious bread in this oven with an even brown..."

      2. Mentioned in father's will per copy of partial probate record in my possession. It appears to be the last page of three pages and is marked "#269 Charles H.H." on the bottom of the page. What I have says:

      Fifthly, I hereby direct and order that the water rights applied upon the respective pieces of land heretofore, shall continue respectively as herein devised and bequeathed.
      Lastly, I hereby appoint my wife Julia Ann Hales the Executrix of this my last Will and Testament.
      In Witness whereof I have herenunto set my hand and seal this 22d Day of June A.D. 1889.
