For life story, see "My Life Story" by Wayne B. Hales, 1976. 2. In the execution of father's last will and testament, this individual shown as living at Spanish Fork, Utah on 22 Jun 1889. 3. Per "The Sons of Brigham" by T. Earl Pardoe, published by BYU Alumni Association, a short biography of Wayne Brockbank Hales contained on page 349 gives the following biographical info on his parents: "Jonathan Hyrum Hales born May 25, 1861 in Spanish Fork, son of Charles Henry Hales, Utah pioneer of 1852, one of first settlers of Spanish Fork. Married Nov. 16, 1882. Member of Nauvoo Legion, builder and missionary. Died: Jan. 21, 1922 in Provo Utah." And: "Martha Ann Brockbank, born Sep. 5, 1861 in Spanish Fork, Utah; daughter of Issac Brockbank; Utah pioneer of 1852. Died Jan. 5, 1905 when Wayne was but twelve." 4. For an interesting account of life in Spanish Fork from about 1861 to 1900, read biography of Eliza Brockbank within this database. 5. Letter addressed by Charles H. and Julia A. Hales to some of his sons concerning his arrest for polygamy. Apparently the authorities may have been looking for their son Charles Henry Hales Jr. and confused the two even though the senior Charles was polygamous. The original of this letter is in the L. Tom Perry Special Collections of the Harold B. Lee Library of the Brigham Young University, Wayne B. Hales Collection, UA 5672 Box 11, "Hales Family History Box 1 of 2". In the following transcription I have retained the original spelling, punctuation, and capitalization: "Spanish Fork Jany. 24th 1888 To Hyrum Hales Wm P and H. B Hales Dear Children: I understand from Hattie that she wrote to Ann last Friday that I had been arrested I thought that I had better write you a few lines that you might not be left in suspence in relation to it.

From the book "Heart Throbs of the West," Daughters of the Utah Pioneers, SLC, 1948, compiled by Kate B. Carter, vol. 9, pp. 417-418. Eliza Brockbank, 1861-1906, married Jonathan Hyrum Hales, son of Charles Henry Hales and Julia Ann Lockwood. Quotation: "I, too, was a pioneer child. I was born in a one-room home in Spanish fork. The adobes were made of a local clay with a blue cast. These homes were built as soon as the settler dared leave the fort, where they lived during the Indian trouble. In my early Childhood our family had a two-room adobe home with a lean-to made of slabs. The furnishings weren't many compared to those of today. We had a built-in mantle, decorated with bright tin cans, and two oil lamps. The stove, which was a joy to mother, had a sheaf of wheat design on each oven door, a hearth in front which pulled out, and four lids on top. We had a lounge in the kitchen on which we children slept. It was pulled out at night and a straw tick was put on it; then it was closed during the day. The bedroom consisted of a bedstead with wooden pegs all around the frame. On these pegs a small rope was attached and criss-crossed, back and forth, forming a sort of spring. For a mattress we had a tick filled with fresh straw each fall, at threshing time. Later, feather beds made with feathers plucked from our own birds, took the place of the straw ones. There was, also, a homemade trundle bed for the smaller Children. The walls of the bedroom were white-washed and the floors were made of about six-inch with pine board. All of the city lots were fenced. The fences were four feet high and made of quaking aspen poles brought from the canyon. In the southwest corner of our lot was a well about fifteen feet deep, rocked on the walls and with a wood curbing and a windlass. From this well all of our household water was drawn. We used a wash-tub for bathing, after heating the water in teakettles, pots, pans, etc. Our laundry was all done on the board. Soap was not very plentiful, so we were careful with the little we had. Our clothing was mostly home-spun and home-made. Even our stockings were home-knit of wool yarn. Our underwear, of which we wore plenty, was usually a factory product. In winter we wore two petticoats; there was a heavy woolen one underneath and a thinner one on top. We had only one winter dress a year, which was a well lined woolen one. On our heads we wore woolen hoods or fascinators. In the summer we had one new dress, usually ruffled, a well starched petticoat underneath, and lace-trimmed panties, which came just below the dress. Our shoes were home-made, button or lace, with copper toe caps. Our food was plain, but wholesome. We had milk, homemade bread, vegetables, dried fruit and meat. Our home-cured hams were 'tops.' We also had a barrel of corned-beef and a good root cellar for potatoes, apples, vegetables, etc. We children had little or no spending money. Sometimes we were given an egg to buy candy at the store. In the summer we went to the molasses mill and got skimmings to make candy, and occasionally we made goney candy. Among the duties I disliked doing most was greasing the family shoes, scouring the knives and forks, and scrubbing the floors with white sand. Another duty I performed was to set the table. The plates were turned upside down on the knives and forks. The teaspoons were placed in a tall glass holder. A sundry revolving caster filled with bottles of sauces, vinegar, catsup and mustard, made a colorful centerpiece. We had little recreation outside of the church activities. In the winter we went bobsleighing and sometimes we had a candy pulls. In the summer, upon invitation, boys and girls would gather at a home in the evening for a fruit bee. Baskets of fruit would be ready for us to peel, core and prepare, by the light of lantern or what the moon would provide, and we would spread the prepared fruit on a scaffold to dry. When finished, we would have a candy pull and eat homemade cookies. These affairs were great fun. It gave the boys and girls a chance to get together. After the crops were gathered, children went gleaning. We would get permission from the land owner, go along the edge of the wheat fields, nip off the heads of wheat and put them in sacks. Our Christmases were not luxurious, but were events to always be remembered; a home-made doll and later a china one, a book, a dish, clothing and always extra goodies for dinner. Accommodations at school were far different from what is found at present. Our school rooms were heated with a stove that burned wood. Seats were just plain boards. Our lessons were put on a black board. At first, all we needed was a slate and pencil. The pencils were easily broken, so they were attached to the slate by a string tied in a hole in the slate frame. The girls usually carried with them a bottle of soap suds and a cloth to clean their slates. The boys didn't seem to care. We used the Wilson Reader and the famous Blue Back Spellers. Parents had to pay the teacher's salary. Little money was in circulation so all kinds of produce, either a load of wood, a sack of potatoes, or some squash, etc., was the pay. What we liked best, or looked forward to the most, were our spelling bees. These spelling matches were a delight; they occurred once a week, and I love to remember them as in my school days. - Eliza Brockbank Hales." BIRTH: 1. Date per cemetery record cited below. 2.

Permelia was a daughter of Samuel Jefferson Adair and twin sister to George Washington Adair. Also we have correct spelling of the father as also Charles Decatur Searle. The obit also gives Childhood history germaine to Permelia: The Salt Lake Tribune, Mon., Aug. 23, 1943, with photo; partial transcription: "...Mr. Searle was born at Salem, April 11, 1860, a son of Charles Decatur and Permelia Jane Adair Searle. He married Julia Ette Wilson. She died in 1936. While a child, he moved from Salem to Washington with his parents, who were among colonizers of Dixie, Wash. Several years later the family moved to Clover Valley, Nev.; then to Vernal, and finally to Magrath, Alberta, Canada, where he engaged in ranching until 1909. From Magrath he moved to Provo, where he farmed until 1920, when he moved to Salt Lake City..." | Searle, Charles Decatur (I1350)

Excerpt "A History of the St. Johns Arizona Stake," 1982, by C. LeRoy and Mabel R. Wilhelm: "William Wiley Berry and Thomas Berry were Utah cattlemen. The Berry families had been called to St. Johns and came in January, 1882. Two Berry girls with their husbands, Joseph Hales and George Ingram, also came, but did not remain long. This group brought blooded cattle from Utah. W.W. Berry married Rachael Allen who is still living and is known as Aunt Rachael. She was a most intellectual woman and was Arizona's first woman legislator. Uncle Bill Berry became a most successful man of the range, owning both sheep and cattle. Thomas Berry turned to farming and found it rather difficult to thus make a living for his large family. He was kind and honest and a faithful church-goer. He married Sarah Roundy, whose father was drowned while making the river crossing at Lee's Ferry. Sady Berry was a humble, gentle woman, a devoted wife and a church worker. Tom and Sady spent their last years working in the Arizona Temple. The Berry sisters, Cynthia and Thursa married John W. Brown, but did not come to St. Johns until later. John Brown filled a mission in England and did much time in church work serving in the stake presidency, high council and as a stake patriarch. He was one of the first teachers in the Academy, and spent his life in the teaching profession. Cynthia Brown was woman charitable in thought and word. She was an excellent housekeeper. Thursa had a keen sense of humor and spent her leisure time in visiting the sick. Her untiring service in sewing for the dead was most commendable." BIRTH: 1. Per cemetery record cited below. 2.

In my files, I have a copy of "Emerald Isle Journals" prepared by Fred Westergard for the 2002 Westergard reunion. Using various sources, Fred has collected excerpts of the journals of various passengers who were on the same voyage from Denmark as was Ane Kjerstine Jensdatter (56) and her two sons, Jens (23) and Hans (18). These journals are too lengthy for this database, but I do herein summarize some pertinent information. (Also note that Fred prepared a similar typescript called "Kenilworth Journals" for Maren Westergard Olson of which I also have a copy on file.) They followed Maren (who sailed in 1866) by sailing from Copenhagen, Denmark on 13 Jun 1868 on the "Hansia or Hansa" arriving on 16 Jun 1868 at Kingston upon Hull, England. Owing to the large company on board they were very much crowded for space. From this point and in the evening of the same day they traveled by rail to Liverpool, England. Here they found accommodations in seven different hotels, where they, with the exception of one place, received anything but decent treatment because they had had next to nothing to eat. On 20 Jun 1868 they boarded the 1736 ton clipper sailing ship "Emerald Isle," commanded by a Captain Gillespie. They had a half day wait on the wharf because the carpenters had not completed their labors in making temporary berths for the passengers. Elder Hans Jensen Hals, and his counselors Elders James Smith and John Fagerberg presided over the company of 876 Saints (627 from Scandinavia and the rest from the British Isles). On June 26th the "Emerald Isle" sailed into the harbor of Queenstown to take fresh water on board, as a certain machine on the vessel used to distill seawater for culinary purposes was out of commission and could not speedily be repaired. On the 29th the ship left Queenstown, Ireland, but the voyage after that was anything but pleasant. This emigrating company of saints probably had the worst treatment of all emigrating companies because of lewdness of the crew and the stagnant water that caused much sickness. Fortunately it was the last company of Scandinavian Saints which crossed the Atlantic in a sailing vessel. From that time on only steamers were employed in the transportation of the Saints. No less than 37 deaths occurred on the voyage. Many of these, however, were caused by measles among the children, but the stagnant water, which all the passengers had to use, was undoubtedly the real cause of the heavy death rate. One comment by Hans Jorgenson about the "Emerald Isle" passage illustrates the general feeling expressed in most of the journals: "The treatment we had on board said vessel was anything but human. The captain and crew showed themselves as rough and mean towards us (especially Danish) as they could and the provisions did not by any means come up to the bargain. The shortest I can say about it is that this treatment was something like the Danish prisoners received in the 1807-1814. I for my part can never think on the deadly "Emerald Isle" but with the greatest disgust and hatred." The Saints held multiple meetings during the sabbath days in different parts of the ship and were divided into 13 wards, each with a presiding elder. Occasionally a dance would be held on deck. Schools were started in which the English were to teach the Scandinavians to read and speak the English language. They arrived in New York harbor on 11 Aug 1868 and after 3 days quarantine, landed at Castle Garden on 14 Aug 1868. On the same day a steamer conveyed the emigrants a few miles up the Hudson River, where they found shelter in a warehouse for a couple of days, while their baggage was being weighed by the railway station. On the 17th the journey was resumed by railway from New York and the emigrants traveled via Niagara, Detroit, and Chicago to Council bluffs where they arrived on the 21st. They stopped at Niagara and were able to see the falls. The following day, they were taken across the Missouri River on a rainy day by a steamboat and thence they traveled in cattle cars on the Union Pacific railroad to the end of the line arriving the morning of 25 Aug in Benton, Wyoming about 700 miles west from Omaha. Here the Church teams met the emigrants and took them to their camp on the Platte River, about six miles from Benton. On 31 Aug 1868, they began the rest of trip to Salt Lake City, Utah by church ox team of 62 wagons in Captain John G. Holman's company via Muddy Gap, Three Crossings, and the rest of the original Mormon Trail. The English Saints traveling with mule teams could ride, while the Scandinavians traveling with slow ox teams, walked most of the way to Salt Lake City. Sickness continued to rage among the Scandinavian emigrants with about thirty dead between New York and Salt Lake City. Jens left the company when it reached present day Echo, Utah and went down Weber canyon to Ogden where he went to work for the railroad. They with the rest of the company of approximately 650 people arrived in Salt Lake City on 25 Sep 1868 at about 9 o'clock in the morning. They camped temporarily in the Tithing Yard.

In the same typescript, Fred included the following biography of James (Jens) Westergard written by a granddaughter as follows: "Granfather James C. Westergard. This is some history grandfather told me about and I wrote it down. I must have been in grade school. 'Mother, myself, and Hans left Denmark the first week of June 1868. Crossing the North Sea to England took three days. Took the railroad to Liverpool. We were in Leverpool a week when we boarded a sailing vessel for America. We were on the Atlantic Ocean eight weeks and four days. Many took sick and 43 died on the ocean. We landed in New York 27 or 26 of June. We had a terrible storm at sea. We were in New York eleven days. Then took the railroad to Benton, Wyo. which was then the end of the U.P. railroad. Traveled 500 miles in 5 weeks when we landed in Utah. I left the company at Echo, Utah, 23 Sept. and went down to Weber Canyon to work on the railroad. I worked there a week before Christmas. Went to Salt Lake City, took a trip to San Pete to visit my mother and my sister. I was back in Ogden by the first of April 1869 then went back to work on the railroad till it was completed. After the railroad was completed all the white men were discharged except the foreman. They hired Chinamen. I went back to Omaha, Neb. Got work on the railroad again and worked two years. 17 Apr 1871, I married Mary Holst. In the spring of 1871 we left Omaha and went to Carbon, Wyo. working there for the Wyo. Coal Co. Was there a year. We moved back to Utah and bought a farm of 20 acres near North Ogden, Utah.'" BIRTH: 1. FHL film # 053243; Visby Parish Record, 1814 - 1872, book 3, p. 28. 2.

During all of Tuesday, Mr. Westergaard had been working hard, and feeling tired. Late in the afternoon he went to the house and laid down on the floor to rest a few minutes. Later he roused himself with the remark that 'this will not do, I'll have to work at something,' and started for the barnyard. His wife was away from home, and he was not missed until sometime about 4:30, and search was then made for him. When found he was dead, his body lying in the calf pen, and he had been dead but a short time. Dr. Condon was summoned, but there was no indication of life and the doctor returned to town. There was no indication of violence and the death is attributed to heart failure. Some five years ago Mr. Westergaard was troubled with a severe attack of rheumatism, and it is supposed that this weakened the heart. Mrs. Westergaard was visiting at Preston, Idaho, at the time, but was sent for immediately and will be at home today.

Tragedy struck this family after he got there as Frederikke died while he was at her home and while there, he then heard that his dear wife Mary had died on the same day.

BIOGRAPHY: 1. Parents: David Israel Penrod and Cynthia Ann Smith per Ancestral File v4.19 and Ordinance Index. 2. Per the website: A. "Cynthia Jane Penrod Adair 1878-1951. Cynthia Jane Penrod was the daughter of David Israel Penrod and Cynthia Ann Smith. She was born June 6, 1878 in Wallsburg, Utah, which is located between Provo and Heber in Wasatch County. She was the oldest of eight children. Her younger brothers and sisters are David Heber, Susannah, Delbert Alvy, James Arthur, Paul Ray, Dolly Irene, and Loren Rupert. David and Cynthia Ann left Wallsburg and came to Arizona with their two oldest children. They were active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Cynthia Jane was baptized by E.E. Bradshaw and confirmed by John A. West. Her father, David, baptized Cynthia Elfreda, John Robin, Clements David, and George Daniel. David also blessed Thelma Gladys on April 10, 1910 (Lakeside Ward Membership Records). John and Cynthia Jane were also active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and even held some meetings in their home. The family would get up every Sunday morning, fix a lunch, and load up in the old buckboard and drive to Lakeside for church. They would have Sunday School, then lunch with friends, and finally Sacrament services. Sometimes they would visit until late in the evening and then load up for the ride home. They also made the trip for parties and dances. Once in awhile they rode to Whiteriver for social events. Several of the Adair boys played instruments and often played at Saturday night dances in neighboring towns. One night while alone at the ranch, Cynthia heard about a man and his wife who had been murdered. An Oriental man had cut their throats and was on the loose. That night while Cynthia and the kids were in the kitchen, she looked out the window and staring back at her was the man. She let out a scream that scared the man worse than he scared her. He disappeared, but she stayed up all night holding the rifle. Despite the experience, Cynthia said the happiest times of her life were on the ranch when the boys were all young. Cynthia was a good cook and had a long table to serve large meals to family and friends. She had a breadbox that was not the typical size. It was big enough to hold several children. She also had a large garden that kept her busy. On February 17, 1951, the day of her son, Leslie Ronald's funeral, Genevieve had a seizure. Beverly, Genevieve's daughter, ran over to the house to get her grandma. The ground was frozen and icy. After getting Cynthia, they went through the gate to Lar's house and it swung back and hit Cynthia causing her to lose her balance. She slipped on the ice and broke her wrist. Her sister Suzie came and took her to a doctor in Globe, and it was there she found out she had cancer. She progressively became worse and passed away on October 10, 1951 in Pinetop." B. Cynthia'a father: David Israel Penrod 1858-1932, Author Delbert William Adair Jr., Great-Great Grandson of David Israel Penrod: "David Israel Penrod was born November 30, 1858 in Wallsburg, Utah. His parents are William Lewis Penrod and Polly Ann Young Riggs. He was the second of thirteen children: Mary Ann, David Israel, Heber Lewis, Temperance Susan, Delbert Abraham, Albert Nathaniel, Ephraim, Elnora, Liona, Liola, John Ralph, Mazetta, and Geneva. David was named after his grandfather. On June 6, 1877, he married Cynthia Ann Smith in the St. George Utah Temple (pictured above). Cynthia is the daughter of Thomas Washington Smith and Susan Reynolds. David and Cynthia had eight children: Cynthia Jane, David Heber, Susannah, Delbert Alvy, James Arthur, Paul Ray, Polly Irene, and Loren Rupert. David and Cynthia came to Arizona Territory in the Fall of 1879 with their first Child, Cynthia Jane. Annie Butler first remembered David when he came to Greer in the fall of 1902 as a forest ranger. (A tribute to the Lakeside Pioneers). He lived many years in Pinetop, Arizona and was a pillar of the community. Like his father William, he was known for his hospitality to all who needed entertainment, regardless of color or creed. Once his life had been saved by an Apache woman and in return he was especially kind to the Indian people and taught his children to treat them well. David Israel Penrod died August 13, 1932 in Pinetop and is buried there with many of his relatives. He is and will be remembered by many as a Pioneer who led the way for his many descendants."

They lived in McKeesport, PA for two years before traveling on to Salt Lake Valley. They needed employment in order to save enough money for the long journey. They joined the wagon train of William Seeley at Laramie, Wyoming, and walked much of the way. When they arrived in the Salt Lake Valley, they camped their covered wagon in the tithing yard for 3 months. Finally, her family was assigned to settle in American Fork where they built a dugout for their home. Mary became as proficient as her mother at making cat-tail rugs to dress the dirt floor. At age 19, Mary married a man who was twice widowed. She reared his two little girls to adulthood. Of the 12 children Mary bore, ten grew to adulthood. She taught them all the restored gospel and accompanied them to church each week. Mary was a tall slender woman. She had no schooling, she could not read or write. No one could 'short change' her on money. She was a serious person with little humour in her personality. She was thrifty and clean in her housekeeping, and immaculate and neat in her personal habits. One day, while she was living in Salt Lake City, an electrical storm came up. She stepped to the door just as lightning struck a tree in front of her. The tree split and the imprint of half of it was left on her body. The hair was singed from her head and she fell to the ground. She recovered completely and never had fear of lightning." 2. From the website www.Nathanielspens.com: "A year after Maggie's death, Nathaniel sought a third wife. He most likely met Mary Campbell during a visit to American Fork to see his daughter, Elizabeth - the Campbells had settled in American Fork. Nathaniel married Mary Campbell in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City on his 31st birthday, June 21, 1869. That same day Nathaniel had Jane Ann Burnhope sealed to him first. According to the Endowment House records, Joseph F. Smith performed the sealings for Nathaniel, Jane and Mary. Maggie was seemingly forgotten, her temple ordinances left undone. Like Nathaniel, Mary was no stranger to sorrow, having witnessed or been told of the death and burial of eight of her twelve siblings in Scotland, many to smallpox. Although the smallpox vaccination was available to baby Princess Victoria, obviously it was not available to everyone. Also, Mary, like Nathaniel, had been sent to the registrar, however, on a much sadder occasion. The reader will recall that 22-year-old Nathaniel reported the birth of his niece, Margaret Leck, in 1860 in Glasgow. Thirteen-year-old Mary was sent to the registrar in 1864 just four days after her brother James had reported the death of their seven-year-old sister. The cause of the death was smallpox. Mary tearfully reported that smallpox had now taken her nine-year-old brother, Alexander. Mary and her twin, Joseph William, were born October 4, 1848 in Oakley, Saline, Fifeshire, Scotland, her parents, Thomas and Elizabeth Smith Campbell, having joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in February of that same year in the Dunfermline Branch. Her Grandmother Mary Durham Campbell was baptized in April, 1848 so Mary was the third generation in her family to hear and accept the gospel. The Campbell family's church records were later transferred to the Oakley Branch where Mary's father, Thomas Campbell, was ordained an Elder at Bathgate on September 15, 1850. In 1852 their church records were transferred again, first to the Falkirk Branch and later to the Bathgate Branch. The children were baptized some time after age eight. Mary was baptized in the spring of 1866, probably at Bathgate, at age 15. On May 25, 1866, Mary Campbell, almost 16 years old, with her parents, Thomas and Elizabeth Campbell (both age 45), her 18-year-old brother, James, and three younger sisters, Annie (9 years old), Martha (4), and Jane ("an infant" of two years) sailed from Liverpool by way of London to America, arriving in New York July 5, 1866. The Emigrations Records indicate that this family sailed on the ship, "American Congress," with Captain Woodward, and that Brigham Young, Jr. was the church agent. Thomas Campbell was a laborer and his son, James, was a miner according to the register. For two years after their arrival in America, the family lived in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, sixteen miles up the Monegahala River from Pittsburgh. On August 10, 1867 Mary's brother, James, married Elizabeth Burnside. James was a figure skater and loved the winters in Pennsylvania where he could cut his name in the ice. Mary and the other family members may not have been so inclined to enjoy the cold weather and more anxious to move on. Move on they did, probably by train, to Laramie City, Wyoming where they joined Captain W. S. Seeley's train. At that time Laramie, Wyoming was the terminus of the Union Pacific Railroad. With the help of the Church's Perpetual Immigration Fund, on August 1, 1868, the Campbells began the last part of their journey to Salt Lake City (Deseret News 17:227 Aug 29, 1868). Thomas Campbell, wife and three young children (Mary, Martha, and Jane); James Campbell, wife and child (Thomas); and John Burnside, wife and six children traveled in the same company. On August 6th Wm. S. Seeley sent a list of Saints in his train and wrote the following message to George Q. Cannon from Benton, Dakota Territory: "The health of the Saints is generally good, and they are all in good spirits in the expectation of soon reaching Utah; We have had one death which please insert a notice of" (Deseret News, Aug 19, 1868). On August 29, 1868 they arrived in Salt Lake City, having walked much of the way: "Another Train In. - Captain Seeley's ox-train of 89 wagons got in this afternoon. He brought with him 272 passengers. The trip was made in four weeks, the train having left Laramine this day four weeks at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. There were four deaths during the trip, one of an aged person and that of three children who died of measles (Deseret News 17:227 Aug 29, 1868). Upon arrival, the Campbells camped in the Tithing Yard and depended on the Bishop's storehouse for supplies. After three months at the Tithing Yard, Brigham Young asked Thomas Campbell to take his family to American Fork. After moving to American Fork, Thomas Campbell and his son James worked in the mines. From Vera Elizabeth Young Allen's story of her mother, Jeanne Campbell Young Marcroft, we learn a little about pioneer life in American Fork. Thomas and James worked together, hauling logs from the American Fork Canyon. They built two dugouts, which were their homes: "The lights they had in these homes were made of greased rags pulled through the hole of a large common button. One half of the rag was placed in a tin saucer full of tallow grease, and the other half sticking up out of the button was lighted. These homemade lights were called 'Bish lights.'" Later Vera relates that Thomas made some candle molds out of tin and he and Elizabeth made their own candles, as did most other families in the area. Jeanne goes on to describe the sitting room and the bedrooms: "The sitting room contained one table made from large tree limbs; one wooden cupboard made from boxes with shelves, with little white curtains used in place of doors; three chairs and one high stool, all made of tree limbs; and two large soap boxes. At the end of the room was a dirt fireplace. The walls and ceilings were smoothed by scraping the earth with a sharp board. The floors were a clay substance from the American Fork Canyon made into a form of cement. The two bedrooms had beds made of tree limbs and ticks made from straw." Elizabeth Campbell learned how to make cattail rugs, which were placed in the bedrooms on the floor. The cattail stocks were soaked in salt for 24 hours, according to Jeanne, and while they were still damp, braided into small rugs, round in shape, and placed in the bedrooms and by the cupboard and table. After about six months, when the rugs began to look shabbly, new ones were braided to replace the old ones. Mary's mother was particular that everything looked neat and tidy. And, like generations before her, she taught her daughters the art of homemaking. For Mary and her sisters this included learning how to make cattail rugs as well as how to polish the tin dishes with wood ashes. Jeanne explained the kitchen and the art of pioneer cooking to her daughter, Vera: "The kitchen had a fireplace in the wall and the cooking was all done in a large kettle hanging from a chain over the fireplace. The bread was baked in this kettle. The kettle was about two feet in diameter and over a foot deep. It had a large bale and a cover. The bread dough was molded into large round loaves and cooked in this kettle." It was in American Fork that Mary learned how to make her own gum from milkweed pods. The pods were broken open in the morning and left in the sun all day. In the evening, the milk had formed into a rubber substance, which was gathered and chewed for gum, according to Jeanne. (Many years later, on February 15, 1882, James Campbell, May's brother, purchased that ground on the old bench in American Fork for $5.00. This land is described as "beginning at NW corner of Block 47 Plat 'A' running South 500 claims then East 742 clms to what is known as the North Field Water Ditch, then then along the west side of said ditch north by westerly to a 4 rod street then due west 381 claims to Camp Street - NE 1/4 Sec. 14 T.5.S.R.1 E. Salt Lake Meridian." James sold the land Nov 8, 1884 for $250 and moved to Mount Pleasant.) Thomas and Elizabeth Campbell's stay in American Fork seems to have been a preparatory time. They were called to live the United Order. After those efforts failed, they began to rebuild their lives. Thomas and Elizabeth Campbell renewed their faith, as did many of the early Saints, through rebaptism on February 13, 1869 in the American Fork Ward. Their son, James Campbell, and his wife, Elizabeth Burnside Campbell, were also rebaptized on the 13th, as was Elizabeth's mother, Elizabeth Burnside. This was just two days before Thomas and Elizabeth Campbell, John Mason Burnside and wife, Elizabeth Burnside, and James and Elizabeth Campbell went to the Endowment House in Salt Lake City. Mary's own original baptism date is not complete but she was also rebaptized four months later by Brother Shelley on June 19, 1869, two days before her own marriage to Nathaniel Spens in the Endowment House. She was 19 years old. Not too long after Mary married, her parents moved to Salt Lake City and lived just east of Liberty Park in what was later called Old Rock Row. A year later, on the 25th of August, in the 1870 Census (page 184), Nathaniel and Mary are living in American Fork. Not only are Nathaniel's two girls back with him, but he and Mary have a baby, James. It appears that the family was away when the Census was taken. Perhaps a neighbor was questioned and provided the census taker with the surname of Spencer rather than Spens. Nathaniel and Mary's ages were most likely estimated as they are shown as being only two years apart in age. Finally, James is recorded as being born in February rather than March. It is noted in the census that the mother could neither read nor write. In addition to raising Nathaniel's two little daughters, Isabella and Elizabeth, whom Mary willingly took into her arms and heart, she bore Nathaniel twelve children. Their first son was born March 13, 1870, in American Fork and named James in the traditional Scottish pattern, after Nathaniel's father. When James was born, there were twenty other families living in the American Fork area, all farmers. Their immediate neighbors, according to the 1870 Census, were the Laycoxes and the Bloods. 3.

From the book "Get Out of Heaven's Waiting Room," by Joyce Ackley, 2008, Xulon Press. Joyce is the granddaughter of this individual: "A Silent Night Miracle. Let me tell you the story of my most daring adventure when I was a teenager. It involves an incident I'll never forget. I'll need to descibe my grandfather to you so you can understand. He sat straight as a ramrod in his captain's chair. His toothless mouth clinched a half smoked cigar, and his pixie face reflected an air of boredom as he listened to the young Pastor seated across from him. The Pastor, as tall as Grandpa, sat on one of the caned kitchen chairs. His dark wavy hair, pink cheeks and dimples made him look like a tall choir boy. He held a cigar in his hand, unsure rather to choke from smoking it or to chance Grandpa's sarcasm by merely holding it. 'We'll, Pete,' said the Pastor, 'I would really like to have you attend our Christmas Eve service this year. I know you'd enjoy it.' Although Grandpa refrained from his usual colorful cursing, he let the Pastor know in no uncertain terms that he had no intention of attending any service in any church. It would take a miracle to get Grandpa into church, we knew. Grandma had tried for years. First she triad with coy attempts, then with arguing, again with sweetness, and finally she had all but given up the idea. For as long as I could remember I had tried to get Grandpa to take the plunge. I begged him to come and hear the good choir, or to see the Christmas pageant, or to see our new church, but my success had been no better than Grandma's. Christmas Eve was near again a I really did wish he could hear the choir sing 'Silent Night.' It was important because I sang in the choir and I was proud of the gift of singing God had given me. I shyly entered the room where the two men were talking and grandpa's eyes lit up, as they always did when I was around. He puffed a couple of times on his cigar, cleared his throat and sat forward just a little. 'I'll tell you what, young feller, I'll come to your church if you'll do something for me.' Pastor grinned and grasped Grandpa's hand. 'Of course, Mr. Petersen, what would that be?' Grandpa sat back with a big toothless grin and said, 'Let my granddaughter sing 'Silent Night' in Danish at your service.' Grandpa had come to this country when he was only seven years old and could speak only Danish. As the years went by, English became the only language spoken in the Petersen home. When I, his first grandchild, came along, he felt he must keep some small remnant of his native tongue alive. So, he taught me a few words and also taught me how to sing 'Silent Night." Now he wanted to hear this song sung once more as he remembered it. I wanted to sink through the floor. 'Oh no, Grandpa. My voice isn't good enough to sing alone and besides everyone would think I was crazy if I sang something they couldn't understand.' The Pastor's face was one of amused perplexity. God had finally shown him a way to get this stubborn sinner into church and he certainly couldn't refuse. 'All right, Pete, we'll let her do it and we expect to see you at seven Chrismas Eve.' 'Oh, dear God, why did you do it this way?' I thought. Of course, I wasn't sure Grandpa would come. Nevertheless, I was still making a fool of myself. I dreaded Christmas Eve. Would they think I was showing off? Whould my voice quiver so much I couldn't get a sound out? How would the director feel about this change of program? The night came cold and clear, and even though huge snowflakes were falling, I assured my Dad I didn't want a ride to church. Actually I was stalling for more time. As I crunched along, kicking the snow in front of me, I marveled at the brightness of the moon sifting through the lacy flakes and I felt very small and alone on this very silent night. In the stillness I felt as if God were telling me to sing to His glory and forget myself. My short legs sped up and my heart was as happy as a child with a new discovery. I was going to forget what others thought and just do my best. As the time drew near, I wasn't sure if Grandpa intended to keep his promise. I arrived early and sat down in a pew to have a word with God before the night began. The organ was softly playing, the scent of pine filled the warm, candlelit room, and I felt completely at peace. Finally, the organist played the introduction and the choir hummed the harmony. My voice was soft and shaky at first, but as I sang a feeling of freedom came over me and I forgot myself. It was then that I began to search the congregation for Grandpa. Two rows back I saw him, straight and tall, holding Grandma's hand. In that moment, all my embarrassment was forgotten and I silently thanked God for this miracle, because Grandpa actually glowed and tears crept down his wrinkled old cheek. As the last notes of the song were sung the church was still, the candles flickered, and God's presence embraced everyone." 5. The book "House of Memories and Other Poems," by Joyce Ackley, Xulon Press, 2010, pp. 8-11; this poem is about the house that Joyce lived in that was originally the home of Peter Petersen and Mary Ann Burnhope: "Introduction: My drawing on the cover is of the home my great grandparents built in the 1800's. Four generations of our family have lived there and it was with great sorrow to us that the house has now been demolished… "House of Memories I'm not dead, but my youth flashed before me today. Sleeping on the kitchen porch on hot Summer nights, Christmas dinners around grandma's table with the whole clan present, climbing the stairs to my strange, narrow little room. Getting eggs from the chicken coop way out back. The coal stove in the front room with isinglass windows and the big black stove in the kitchen. Little hiding places under the stairs. Back porch ice-box filled each week with huge, dripping chunks. Claw-footed bathtub filled with Helena Rubenstein's bubble bath. Coal chute sliding shiny black coal into dirt cellar, coal bucket and shovel at the ready. Trap door, hooked so we can go down narrow steps where jars of peaches, pears, jams and jellies nestle on wooden shelves grandpa built. Also, kindling, chopped and ready to set morning fires. Violet's perfume wafting through kitchen window from mama's garden. Maytag wringer/washer and wash tubs hidden behind closed doors on back porch. Only three wooden steps - leading to nowhere, that's all that is left. The yellow frame house at 2264 Madison Avenue Died today." 6.

Per email dated 13 Dec 2012 from Irene Petersen with photos of homes attached: "Petersens and Hales had their land on 3rd street in Ogden just below Madison avenue and also the remodeled house of Aunt Christine Petersen at 108 Adams street. if you look at the famous picture of the family sitting outdoors on that land you would see that the mountains in background match the picture I took. If you go on Google map and put 670 3rd street, Ogden, you will see that land or what is left of it. It is just above the Canal. Talk to Chris about it. When we took the picture of grandpa Frank's house, the owner Mr. Chournos came out and invited us to go thru the whole house and see all the changes he made in it. He has lived there for 37 years. He has taken real good care of it and Dad was real pleased. He also found a lot of dad's toys over the years: marbles and little cars. He gave us a Christmas card that was sent to your grandmother Irene in December 1945 from her friend, still in the original envelope. He also made changes on the front entrance on the peak above the front door. He is getting ready to change the front door soon as it is pretty rotten. Grandma Irene had made a curtain for that door and he still had it and he gave it to us. Still in good condition." 2.

If you go on Google map and put 670 3rd street, Ogden, you will see that land or what is left of it. It is just above the Canal. Talk to Chris about it. When we took the picture of grandpa Frank's house, the owner Mr. Chournos came out and invited us to go thru the whole house and see all the changes he made in it. He has lived there for 37 years. He has taken real good care of it and Dad was real pleased. He also found a lot of dad's toys over the years: marbles and little cars. He gave us a Christmas card that was sent to your grandmother Irene in December 1945 from her friend, still in the original envelope. He also made changes on the front entrance on the peak above the front door. He is getting ready to change the front door soon as it is pretty rotten. Grandma Irene had made a curtain for that door and he still had it and he gave it to us. Still in good condition." | Pedersen, Christine (I1585)

Farm was divided in two, and one part 4A was sold to Poul Pedersen 29 Jul 1867, and 4Y sold to Anders Pedersen. See Family Search for this individual to see an old photo of the family farm. The farm was originally called Røjkjærand was bought about 1838 by our ancestor Peder Poulsen who died there in 1874. He apparently split the farm between two of his sons into Vester (West) and Oester (East) Røjkjær. The Vester farm would be in front of the house and the Oester would be more or less behind the house. This location was always used in church records and even tombstones for the family. The Vester farm went to the son Anders and the Oester farm went to Poul Pedersen, who was our ancestor who came to America. He apparently sold his half of the farm to pay for his way to America. The Vester farm remained with the Anders side and is in the hands of the Stephansen family who are descendants of Anders. The last resident of the farm was Poul Richardt Pedersen, who died in 2014 as a bachelor. Two years before he died, he sold the farm to the Stephansens, who are across the road at Ydbyvej 34. Claus is the current resident of the Stephansen farm and his parents Kaj and Ragnhild live in Hurup as of 2016. 5. Article in the "Orem Daily Journal," 17 May 2000: "150 years ago, Mormon missionaries arrived in the country of Denmark. In time more than 18,000 Danes had converted to the LDS Church and sailed for Utah. At the time these newly converted Mormons left Denmark, the people were usually happy to see them go, as the Mormons were not generally welcome there and were subject to persecution...40% of Utah's population could trace their ancestry back to Denmark..."

Charles Vincent(5) Moorhouse: (Omar John4, Eli3, Joseph2, Thomas?1) was born August 11, 1878 in Lewistown, Fulton Co. IL, and died February 14, 1978 in Canton, Fulton Co., Il. He married (1) Estella J. Grigsby, September 03, 1903 in Fulton Co., IL. She was born August 04, 1882 in Cuba, Fulton County, Illinois, and died 1965 in Long Beach, Los Angeles, California. He married (2) Jennie Elmira Hales, December 12, 1918, daughter of Charles Hales and Jemima Adair. She was born October 26, 1891 in Spanish Fork, Utah, and died August 08, 1957 in Lewistown, Fulton Co., Illinois. He married (3) Helen J. (Feaster) Irwin, November 08, 1957, daughter of Edward Feaster and Barbara Burge. She was born April 07, 1905 in Lewistown, Fulton Co., IL, and died October 26, 1991 in Springfield, Greene Co., Missouri. B. Notes for Charles Vincent Moorhouse: a. Charles Moorhouse graduated in 1905 from the Keokuk College of Physicians & Surgeons and Keokuk Medical College. This comes from a 1911 Alumni Directory which only gave a listing of the graduates and no other information. This coincides with the information given below in the newspaper article about practicing medicine for 60 years in 1968. b. The following information was taken from information received from A. E. Parshall in Piute County, Utah: i. On 7 June 1912 Dr. Charles registered a Ford Roadster, 22 - 1/2 horsepower, gasoline engine, with the state. I believe this to be the first car registered in Piute County. He sold this car to Lans Bertelsen to use as a jitney service. On 9 August 1917 the first bunch of the selective service from Marysvale came up for physical examination Tuesday morning. 27 June 1918, Dr. C. V. Moorhouse, county physician, and who registered some two months ago for service in the reserve medical corps of the United Sates Army will go to Salt Lake City. Dr. Moorhouse will go to Ft. Douglas where he will take the physical examination preparatory to entering the service. ii. 17 October 1918 The Spanish influenza, which has been raging over the county for the last month or more, and which has caused a big death list, has reached Piute county and already many cases have been reported... Dr. Moorhouse, county physician, stated that four cases in the secondary form had developed at Kingston and two at Circleville. "The disease was carried to this county by a man from Salt Lake" said Dr. Moorhouse. "Citizens throughout the county have been warned to guard against spreading the disease," he continued, "and if all will cooperate in checking the spread there will be no occasion for alarm. The schools of the county, as well as all other public gatherings, have been forbidden, and if all will heed the precautionary measures, the disease will soon be stamped out." iii. 24 October 1918: Checking Disease. Four cases of influenza developed at Alunite the early part of this week and immediately steps were taken to stamp out the malady. At the orders of county physician Moorhouse all schools were closed and steps taken to isolate the ones having the disease. Thus far the cases reported are all in a mild form and to prevent any spread the management has provided quarters where those afflicted can be cared for an receive medical attention without exposing others. Reports from the camp last night were to the effect that all stricken ones were doing nicely and that nothing of a serious nature had developed as yet. iv. 24 October 1918: Influenza Spreading Throughout County / Physicians Endeavoring to Check Malady and Drastic Measures to Be Adopted to Prevent Spread / While many new cases of Spanish influenza have developed in Marysvale and throughout the county during the past week, thus far only a few have it in the third stage. County Physician Moorhouse and City Physician Syndergaard, are working overtime in attending to the stricken and are exerting every effort to stamp out and check the disease, and in this the physicians must have the cooperation of all. Indignant complaints have been made about the indiscriminate scattering of the disease by those afflicted and drastic measures are to be taken, if necessary to keep those suffering in any form from the malady, off the streets and away from the homes of others where there is any likelihood of further spread. "Our efforts to check the disease will be of no avail unless everyone will help us," said Dr. Syndergaard last night. "If our advice is ignored it will be necessary to resort to drastic measures." v. 31 October 1918: "Flu" Takes Many in Grip... At Circleville and Kingston there is a vast improvement in the conditions as compared with last week. A few mild cases have developed but the citizens are cooperating with the health authorities to stamp out the disease. The situation at Junction is not so favorable, according to reports from county Physician Moorhouse. More than twenty cases have developed in the past week and about two-thirds of the cases are in the second stage. vi. 16 January 1919: "Flu" Raging at Panguitch / Panguitch, the metropolis of Garfield county and with a population of some 1800 people, is in the throes of the Spanish influenza and Tuesday night 1200 cases had developed and ten deaths were reported. So serious is the situation that an appeal was made to the state health board for doctors and nurses. Following instructions from Dr. Beatty of the state health board, Dr. H.F. Syndergaard left here Friday morning to aid the stricken in the southern town. Saturday morning, learning that the only druggist in Panguitch had been stricken, Geo. T. Eayrs left for the south, taking with him drugs, vaccine and other medicines. In addition to Dr. Syndergaard, Dr. Steiner of Richfield, Dr. McGregor of St. George, Dr. Moorhouse of Junction, and Dr. Greene of Parowan were called in to aid Dr. Bigelow of Panguitch in fighting the disease. The six doctors are exerting every effort and are working overtime to check the spread... vii. 23 January 1919: According to word received from Junction yesterday, Dr. C.V. Moorhouse, county physician, is confined to his home suffering from a slight case of influenza. viii. 30 January 1919: Dr. C.V. Moorhouse, who has been quite ill with influenza, is slowly improving. Dr. McGregor of Cedar City, is attending the stricken physician... ix. 6 February 1919: Dr. C.V. Moorhouse and Mart Bayler, who have been quite ill with the influenza, are reported as convalescing nicely. x. 27 February 1919: N.S. Munson of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, is spending a few days with his nephew, Dr. C.V. Moorhouse, at Junction. Mr. Munson, accompanied by Mrs. Moorhouse, were Marysvale visitors Tuesday. xi. 6 March 1919: On Eastern Visit Dr. and Mrs. C.V. Moorehouse passed through town last Friday enroute east for a short visit. Dr. Moorhouse, is just recovering from an aggravated case of influenza, and this, together with an overworked condition, has left him poorly. They will visit Dr. Moorhouse's parents at Canton, Ill., and from there they will go to Chicago. Enroute home they will stop at Omaha, Denver and other points. They expect to be absent about three weeks. xii: 25 October 1940: Dr. Moorhouse and two friends of Illinois are here [Circleville] deer hunting and visiting friends.(PCN) xiii. 8 November 1940: Dr. Moorhouse of Illinois, who was visiting in Circleville was called home due to the illness of his wife. xiv. 26 December 1941: Harvey Peterson, 22, who died at the home of Dr. Morehouse in Lewiston, Ill., will be brought here for burial some time this week; time of the funeral will be announced later. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Earl Smith, a brother Ralph Peterson, two sisters, Mrs. Ralph Stapel and Mrs. Wilford Davis, all of Circleville. Harvey volunteered about seven months ago. He has been stationed at Chanute Field, Ill., about 70 miles from Chicago, as a student in the army air corps technical school. The entire community mourns the loss of this fine boy.(Piute County News) c. "Parade Draws 1,500 Persons, Dr. Moorhouse Honored. August 21, 1968. By: Jennie Rosellen of The Ledger Staff: Lewistown, Ilinois - An estimated crowd of 1,500 persons lined the streets here Saturday to pay tribute to Dr. C. V. Moorhouse in ceremonies planned by friends of the 90-year-old physician. Dr. Moorhouse, a practicing physician for 60 years, 43 in Lewistown, and his wife Helen rode in a convertible at the head of the parade, then went to a reviewing stand from which he watched the remainder of the parade. With him on the reviewing stand were his wife and Dr. Moorhouse's brother Frank Moorhouse and his wife and their daughter Mrs. Winifred Gibboney and Dr. Moorhouse's granddaughter, Roberta Jump, all of Canton. The floats were designed to bring back memories to Dr. Moorhouse of his years of practice. The first one depicted the year he entered the Keokuk Medical College of Physicians and Surgeons, a branch of Iowa State University. Other floats depicted years when horses provided Dr. Moorhouse mode of travel, then a 1913 Model T Ford, the same model as the first one owned by Dr. Moorhouse during is practice in Junction City, Utah. The Great Depression of 1929 was depicted by a building mounted on a truck, with painters wearing WPA signs and painting the building. Another float was a display of his hobbies in which many pieces of ironwood were carved and finished into candleholders, lamp bases and other novelties. A sesquicentennial float used in other county parades and at the Illinois State Fair completed the parade. Mrs. Carl Willison, a member of the Tourist Club in Lewistown, presented a bouquet of roses on behalf of the Lewistown Chamber of Commerce to Dr. and Mrs. Moorhouse. A large decorated birthday cake, iced in white and topped with 90 candles was presented to the Moorhouses by Mayor Earl Coleman. It was baked by Eugene Bavery. Dr. Moorhouse observed his 90th birthday August 11 at his home with a open house from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Several of the babies delivered by Dr. Moorhouse marched in the parade and others greeted him later. Cash prizes were awarded to Mrs. Nina (May) Stutes of Lewistown, born in 1926 as the oldest "baby" in attendance, and to Mrs. Sherry (Guilliams) Fields, Havana, born 1941, as the youngest "baby" present. Robert Boone of Lewistown was master of Ceremonies. Sunday, August 11, 1968, Charles celebrated his 90th birthday, one son, Omar Jack, lives in Newport Beach, California, and Donald had died." d.

Gray of the Gospel Mission in Canton officiating. Burial will be in Oak Hill cemetery near Lewistown." 3. From our Jack Petersen's family album: a. As quoted from the book "History of Piute County'" by Linda King Newell: "Dr. Moorehouse, a graduate of the Keokuk Medical College in Iowa, set up practice in Junction, Utah, in 1911, and helped save many lives in Piute county during the 1918-1919 influenza epidemic. An outbreak of smallpox came to Piute County in 1920. At that time Dr. Charles V. Moorehouse still had his medical practice in Junction, but he ran into trouble when his drinking habits began to interfere with his care of patients. In March 1922 the State revoked his license for 'unprofessional conduct.' Moorehouse was able to reorder his life and was later reinstated, serving the area for many years." Recollection of my father Jack Petersen: b. As a youth, I was told that Dr. Moorhouse had a drug problem. This was recently corrected by my Aunt Melba. It was his wife, Jennie, who had the problem. I remember visiting the Moorehouse home in Los Angeles, California, with my grandparents [Jennie's brother] in 1947 or 1948. The house was on a hill in what I believe was Eagle Rock (Burbank?). They had no children. This was Dr. Moorehouse's second marriage. He had children from his first marriage. We called him 'Uncle Doctor'." c. Two photos: one of Charles sitting at a desk with a suit on and one of Jenny siting at a table with a hat (and a bow on her dress). 4.

After entering the Salt Lake Valley, the family moved to Spanish Fork, Utah to settle. At the age of five she was placed in a home that had promised good care, but her mother saw stripes on her body and she was taken home again. At the age of 18 she married Stephen Hales and they had eight children. Stephen died when her youngest was two. She succeeded in providing for her family by doing nursing work and farming with her boys. She was optimistic, and when asked about her life would reply with 'fine and dandy'; a phrase that has become a family byword. In a biography written by Wallace Hales, a son, it says she was a Daughter of the Utah Pioneers in 1936. She married Robert Temple Simpson after 17 years of widowhood.

Salt Lake City, U.T. Yours of Nov. 13th duly received; pardon my delay on answering. In reply I will say your grandpa is in Beaver and visits at our house frequently 4. Compiler Kate B. Carter, "Treasures of Pioneer History" (1953, Dau. of Utah Pioneers, SLC, UT), Vol. 2, pp.213-247, gives autobiography and diary of Eliza Marie Partridge (Smith) Lyman. See file for entire diary which is very interesting and indicative of this period. She was married, as a plural wife, 8 Mar 1843 to the Prophet Joseph Smith by Apostle Heber C. Kimball and two months later on 11 May 1843 the ceremony was repeated in the presence of Emma Smith, the Prophet's first wife. After the death of Joseph, Eliza was married to Apostle Amasa M. Lyman, by whom she had 5 children. She came to Utah in 1848. Her diary in Salt Lake City has several references to David Frederick and one specifically to Mary as follows: "12 Feb 1856: "Called on Mary Frederic with Br. Lyman." [Judging from timing of Battalion Ball and there being limited Fredericks in Utah, this is most likely Mary Frederick who is David's 2nd dau. of his first marriage and who was in SLC by at least 1852 according to her patriarchal blessing. She would still have her maiden name since her marriage to Gideon Gibbs would not be until later that November.] 5. Patriarchal blessing per transcript copy from Daisy Van Wagoner, Salt Lake City, 11 Oct 1852: "A blessing by John Smith Patriarch upon the head of Mary Frederick, daughter of David and Mary born Orleans Co., N.Y. 21 Aug 1830. Sister Mary, beloved of the Lord, I place my hands upon thy head in the name of Jesus of Nazareth and place upon you the blessing of a father. The blessings of the new and everlasting covenant the Lord is well pleased with the integrity of thine heart. He will give you every blessing which your heart desires. He will remove from you the deafness with which you are troubled and cause you to hear clearly. I rebuke the ___ that rests upon you that abstracts your hearing in the name of Jesus Christ and I pray my Heavenly Father to bless you according to the desires of your heart. You shall have a companion after the desire of your own heart. He shall fear the Lord and do his will. You shall have a posterity and they shall bear your name in honorable remembrance though all your generations. You shall have faith to do any work that will be necessary for the health of your family and be satisfied with the wishes of the Earth and enjoy the riches of eternal life with all your father's house [ends at the bottom of a page and appears that a second page may follow but not included with copy.] 6. The book "Mormon Midwife, the 1846-1888 Diaries of Patty Bartlett Sessions," Donna Toland Smart, editor, has several passing references to Mary and the birth of her children: 17 May 1860 US: "Put Mary Gibs to bed with a son born 3 PM." Footnote no. 86: "Gideon Hayden Carter Gibbs (1821-1901) and Mary Ellen (or Elizabeth) Frederick (1830-1907) had a daughter, Sarah Ann (Sadie), on 17 May 1860. The text almost looks as if Patty has written 'dauter' over the word 'son.' 14 Nov 1861: "Finished Br Gibs mittins." 28 Dec 1861: "I was called to Br Gideon Gibs & wife mary put her to bed with a daughter [Mary Isabella] born 10 minutes to 9 PM." 24 Aug 1862: "I went to sister Gibs to a quilting." 28 Aug 1862: "I went and paid my taxes then helped her quilt again." 11 Sep 1862: "Br Gibs works on the house." 27 Sep 1862: "Went to a quilting at Br Gibs." 28 Sep 1862: "Went again helped her quilt." 26 Dec 1862: "Bartl and I went to se Br Gibs he has been sick a long [time]." 24 Nov 1864: "Put Mary Gibs to bed with a son born 4 AM." 7. Listed as a pioneer in the Heber C. Kimball Company of 1848 as Mary E. Frederick, female, age 17. No mention of her uncle John Evarts in the company of 662 individuals. They departed from Winter Quarters 7 June 1848 and arrived in Salt Lake Valley 24 Sep 1848. Her uncle is listed as John Everett, age 44, with his wife Sarah Ann, age 36, in the David Spencer/Peregrine Sessions Company which left Winter Quarters 18 Jun 1847 with 185 individuals and arrived in Salt Lake Valley 24-25 Sep 1847 per the source of the Journal of History, 21 Jun 1847, p. 8. The niece and uncle evidently did not travel the same year nor same company. BIRTH: 1. Place per marriage sealing ordinance index as Perry, Orleans, NY. Alternate birthplace also reported as Barre, Orleans, New York. Obituary says Berry, Orleans County. I find no Berry and Perry is in Wyoming County, New York. I judge Barre to be correct since it does occur in Orleans County of which county all of the sources agree including her own patriarchal blessing; also Barre sounds like Berry. 2.

Gibbs Enters into Her Reward After Long Illness. The ranks of Utah's early pioneers are thinning fast, scarcely a day going by but the departure for the other world of one of more of them is announced. This morning at 8 o'clock occurred the demise of Mrs. Mary E. Gibbs, a resident of Salt Lake since 1848. The end came after three months of intense suffering from stomach derangement, a disease that she had been more or less subject to for a period of thirty-five years. Mrs. Gibbs was a native of New York, born in Berry, Orleans county, Aug. 21, 1830. Her parents were Mr. and Mrs. David Frederick, the mother dying when the child was six years of age. Nine years later, Mary became a Latter-day Saint, being baptized May 24, 1845. Her father was also a member of the Church, and he enlisted in the Mormon battalion. The daughter arrived in Salt Lake valley in September, 1848. In 1857 she became the wife of Gideon H.C. Gibbs, who has been dead a number of years. Of the union there are four surviving children, namely, Mrs. Thomas Morris, Sarah A., Gideon A. and John E. Gibbs. Mrs. Gibbs was a true and faithful woman as wife, mother and Church member, and she was much beloved by a wide circle of friends by whom she was known as 'Aunt Mary.' The funeral will be held from the Sixteenth ward meetinghouse, Wednesday, Jan. 16, commencing at 1 o'clock. Friends are invited to attend the services and may view the remains at the residence, 128 north Fourth West street, from 11 to 12 a.m., Wednesday."

In 1850, Brigham Young requested Mr. Draper and his brother William to settle on Willow Creek. Zemira built the third house and the first adobe one in that section, all other being log cabins. In 1854, the settlement had a Post Office and its name changed to Draperville in honor of these sturdy pioneers. Later the name was changed to Draper..." 4. Father of William: extensive autobiography of William Draper (1807-1886); Typescript, Harold B. Library at Brigham Young University in Provo, UT. [I include only a partial transcription but the whole is very detailed about Kirtland, the prophet, the mobbings, and the pioneer journey]: "Autobiography of William Draper; A biographical sketch of the life and travels and birth and parentage of William Draper who was the son of William Draper and Lydia Luthdrop Draper. ...I was born in the Province of upper Canada, Township of Richmond, County of Frontanact, Midland District, April the 24th 1807, and in June 1832 for the first time heard the gospel preached by Elder Miller and others in company with him, and in January 1832 I heard Brigham Young preach the same gospel and I believed it... bid adieu to Canada, to my birth place, and to my father and mother, brothers and sisters, for the sake of the gospel and together with the Saints to Kirtland, Ohio, which we reached the 24th of the same month and I was satisfied and rejoiced at meeting some of my old friends, brethren from Canada, and more satisfied to see the face and hear the voice of the Prophet Joseph and from him and his brethren received much valuable instruction... And there in the [Kirtland] temple on the Day of Pentecost of the 6th day of April 1836 there was such a time of the outpouring of the spirit of the Lord that my pen is inadequate to write it in full or my tongue to express it. But I will here say that the spirit was poured out and came like a mighty rushing wind and filled the house, that many that were present spoke in tongues and had visions and saw angels and prophesied, and had a general time of rejoicing such as had not been known in this generation... And I was set apart to go to Illinois the coming spring [1838] to take charge and preside in a branch of the church that had been previously raised up... And I hastened to start on my mission to Morgan County, Illinois, which I accomplished and started April the 16th 1838 only having my family that consisted of a wife and five children... finally reached the place of destination for me, some time in May, namely Morgan County, Illinois. There I stayed finding the place of my appointment filled by previous action of the branch; I was satisfied and concluded to make my way on to Far West... until some time in August when a message came to us to break up our organization and come to Caldwell County as there was strong indications of hostilities by the mob. We hastened to comply with the instructions received from the Prophet and in a few days was on our way for Far West but the mob was getting so hostile that after traveling a day or two we began to feel as though it was not safe to keep on the main traveled road through the settlements as the spirit of mobocracy was opposed to any more Saints gathering to Far West. So we concluded to leave the main road and took a by road that led through a thin settled country for about 15 or 20 miles where the settlement and road ended and we took across an uninhabited country without any road about 40 miles which brought us out at the Rinowaned Hauns Mill; [?] and from there through Caldwell County to within about 4 or 5 miles of Far West, where we concluded to stop and make our home in that place. There was a large branch of the Church here known as the Lay Creek Branch. So I bought me a snug little home consisting of a log house and blacksmith shop and seven acres of good land under cultivation with a good rail fence around it, but that took all of my means to pay for it, but one yoke of oxen, one house and two cows, but corn and pork was plenty, corn being the main bread stuff then, so I set to work at shoemaking and made my family comfortable again. And in a short time I was called upon to take the presidency of this branch being the only high priest in the branch. I accepted the appointment and all things went on comfortable notwithstanding excitement reigned in the country around and hostilities increased daily by the mobs on the out side; still many by the adjoining counties and finally by the middle of October hostilities ran so high that we received another message from the Prophet requesting us all in the out settlement to come in to Far West City. We readily complied with the counsel given and many of the brethren tore down their log houses and moved to the city; but I did not tear my house down, but went into the city with the rest of my brethren from that branch, and took shelter in an old log cabin with three other families which required some little patience, for one family by the name of Fowles did apostatize and went off with the mob and I have not heard from them since. I will here say that after we arrived in the city there was quite a stir among the people for reports were daily and almost hourly that the mob was gathering on every side, so it kept us on the look out all the time, day and night until on or about the 22nd day of October there came a report that the mob was ruining houses, destroying property and killing our brethren that had not gathered into Far West, but lived about in or 14 miles out from Far West. On hearing the report there was a company of about seventy five men raised and dispatched to see what the trouble might be, they traveled on until they came to the place of trouble near Crooked River as it was called. There they came in contact, [Battle of Crooked River] with the mob which opened fire on our brethren and quite a skirmish issued which resulted in the death of David W. Patten one of the twelve apostles, also Simeon Carter and a young man by the name of [Patrick] O'Banion and some more of the brethren badly wounded... But suffice to say that I went to work at shoemaking and pork and corn was plenty and cheap and we had plenty to eat and through the course of the winter traded my horse and cow and some spare clothing for a good yoke of oxen. And through the generosity of a brethren by the name of [Eleazer] Brown I obtained money and bought me another yoke of oxen which made me a good outfit for team and on the 12th day of March 1839, I with my family in company with Mr. Brown and others bid farewell to our Missouri home and started to seek a new home in a more congenial clime. We traveled on without anything of note taking place until the latter part of March, we then landed all safe in a little town by the name of Atlas on the border of the great Mississippi bottom in the state of Illinois. There we met a brother-in-law of mine who beset me to stop with him a few days to which I consented, that separated me and Mr. Brown, we taking the road leading north up the river in the direction of what subsequently became Nauvoo. I stayed a few days in Atlas... I soon moved my family onto it and went to work and put the ground to corn and garden truck which done well and I had plenty the coming year... I was chosen as one of the high counsels, but was subsequently released by telling Joseph what I was doing and what the prospect was in Pike County where I had been laboring during the summer about 80 miles from Nauvoo. He told me to return and continue preaching and when the branch reached the number of hundred he would then come and organize the branch of stake of Zion. I went home to my field of labor, doors were open on every hand, I preached and baptized and in about two weeks the branch numbered 112... and in the spring of 1843 I moved with my family and located in a place called Green Plain in the vicinity of Warsaw in Hancock County, with the notorious Levi Williams for one of my neighbors. I there bought a farm on good terms and went to improving, built me a good house and a small grist mill and put about 20 acres of land in a good state of cultivation with a good fence around it, and was on good terms with my neighbors although the most of them were gentiles. But they professed to be much pleased with my enterprise in the place, and all went on well with me, until some time in June 1844. Then there was frequent reports about Joseph from Nauvoo, that produced some little excitement, for priests and lawyers and apostates had combined together to again make trouble, the men in the neighborhood where I organized, lived to go to Nauvoo and assist Joseph. They came and invited me to go with them to take Joseph, but I refused, they wanted to know if I would go if the Governor order me to go, I said no I would not go if the devil himself ordered me to go against Joseph for his people were my people and where he goes I will go also. This appeared to vex them a little although we had always been on good terms as neighbors and they then said then you will have to leave, for you can't live here although we like you as a neighbor... they did not interfere with me any more until about the 20th of October 1845... left Pike County about the 20th of April 1846 and went to Nauvoo and added some to the family and to the outfit. And on the first day of May crossed the Mississippi River and took the trail to follow those that had started before for the mountains through a wilderness country where no white lived. We made quite a company and I was chosen their captain... And there was immediately a large bowery was erected at a little known as Trading Point settled only be Indians and their traders on the Bank of the Missouri... We built log cabins and brought some from the Indians that was about to be drove from their homes by the government as we had already been. But I will here mention that Brigham and a large number of the Saints crossed the river to the west side onto the Omaha lands not owned yet by the United States... Now it was in the Spring of 1849, I was counseled to immigrate to Salt Lake that season, I responded to the call and made speedy preparation to go with a company that was to immigrate that season. And on the 5th of July I bid farewell to my home and friends at Council Point... which continued until the 26th of October when we arrived safe in Salt Lake City, and broke up camp entirely; having been four months and a half on the plains, but was happy now to meet with our brethren that had also come up through great tribulation and make them a home in the mountains. I then stopped a few days with my brother Zenird in which time I met with a chance to rent a house and lot for one year, my family being large it required some little exertion to provide for their wants for flour raised before harvest to the enormous price of from 75 cents to one dollar per pound, and it was hard to get seed grain, but I succeeded in getting both, so my family did not suffer or do without bread. During the winter I bought me a little farm and rented another about 6 miles south of the city; it being too far to go back and forth to farm it and tend the crop. I bought a small log cabin and some time in February moved a part of my family to Mill Creek where my far? was. I put the city lot in with potatoes and the farm with wheat and corn and raised a good crop of each so I had plenty for the ensuing year and some to spare. In the summer of 1850 there was a new settlement started on what was then called South Willow Creek, about twenty miles south of Salt Lake City. I was invited to come and settle there which I did, and in November 1850 moved my whole family there. I took up land and made me a good farm and raised plenty of grain and cattle and horses, and the settlement increased so it became necessary to have the place organized into a branch of the church. I was called to preside and serve them as bishop, having been ordained to that office before. I served in that capacity until the close of 1857 and in the spring of 1858, I was obliged to leave a good home again, and go south in the general move. I went as far south as Spanish Fork about 42 miles in distance. I there stopped and located. I never expected to go back to my old home again, I there purchased four houses and lots and about 80 acres of land of which over 50 was good farming land and the rest grass land... So in the fall of 1864, I sold out my property in Spanish Fork for less than half what it cost me, and early in 1865 immigrated to Moroni, Sanpete County, where I bought a house and lot and about 15 acres of land for which I paid 900 dollars in property... I will here say that I have lived in Moroni hardly seventeen years, but am sorry to say that in this short period I have suffered more in body and mind than I have all the rest of my life. Although I have spent nearly fifty five years of that time in this church, but when I was about to sink under the weight and influence of temptation, the Lord verified his promise; wherein he said you shalt not be tempted more than you are able to bare, but in every hour of temptation I will make way for your escape; and he did by sending his servant President John Taylor on or about the 18th day of August 1880. He invited me into the house of Bishop J.W. Irons and after being seated he asked me a few question which I answered briefly. He then called upon one of his counsel George Q. Cannon and one of the apostles, Erastus Snow and they laid their hands on my head and reordained me to all the offices and all the various grades of priesthood that I ever had been previously ordained to and confirmed and in addition ordained me to the office of patriarch after the ancient order, and reconfirmed all the blessings that had ever been pronounced upon my head by those that had administered to me before by ordination or otherwise, and that seemed to impart new life and vigor to both body and mind and spirit. But I find that I am on the decline so far as my bodily strength is concerned and must ere long lay off this mortal tabernacle and my spirit go to rest or to join those that have gone before who have passed through great tribulations and have conquered the last enemy. And for this reason I have written this imperfect narrative that my children and grandchildren and finally all my posterity to the latest generation may see what their progenitor, and those that he associated with in this Church, had to pass through for sake of the gospel. And I now feel thankful that I have the privilege of bearing my testimony to the trust of what I have written, although there may be some little errors in dates, but nothing designly or that would destroy the truthfulness of this narrative. And I also feel to bare testimony to the truth of the everlasting gospel as introduced to this generation by Joseph Smith the Prophet, and is now being preached by his successors and the Elders of Israel that are going forth to carry glad tidings of salvation to the nations of the earth. And I also feel to join the labor by calling upon all men, Jew and Gentile, bond or free, priest and people, to home or abroad; all who have not obeyed the gospel to listen and hear and believe and be baptized for the remission of your sins, and have hands laid on you by one who has authority for the gift of the Holy Ghost and you shall receive it, for the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are afar off as many as the Lord our God shall call. Now in conclusion I will say that I have been some two weeks writing this imperfect narrative, and will now come to a close on this eleventh day of December in the year one thousand eight hundred and eighty one; (December 11, 1881) which makes me seventy four years and seven months and seventeen days old, and the husband of five living wives and father of fifty one children and grandfather to about one hundred; and great-grand-father to about twenty more, and I now leave my blessing upon them all, and ask my Heavenly Father to seal the blessing of Abraham and Isaac.

The book "Pioneer Women of Faith and Fortitude" by the daughters of Utah Pioneers (photo accompanies article): "Elizabeth Boyes/Boyce Truman, b. 19 Apr 1831 at La Harp, Michigan, d. 6 Nov 1919 at Gunlock, Washington, Utah, parents are George Boyes and Ann Gelard/Geldard, pioneer of Jul 1847, m. Jacob Mica Truman 19 Apr 1849 (he died 23 Nov 1881 at Veyo, Washington, Utah), children: Martha Ann, 2 May 1850 John Franklin, 7 Jul 1851 Emma Marie, 5 Nov 1852 Jacob Boyce, 24 Jul 1855 George Almus, 2 Mar 1857 William Thomas, 20 Dec 1858 Laceus/Lucius, 5 Apr 1860 Lucy Elizabeth, 8 Oct 1864 Albert Henry, 20 Oct 1867 Mary Lois, 26 May 1871 Lacina Almena, 11 Sep 1873 Esther Priscilla, 4 Jan 1876 Elizabeth Boyes (Boyce) was born 19 April 1831 at La Harp, Michigan. She died 6 Nov 1919 at Gunlock, Utah. Parents were George Boyes and Ann Gelard (Geldard). It seems that members of George's fist family (Ann) changed the spelling of their name to Boyce because, they said, it was easier to keep the mail straight. Elizabeth spent the winter of 1846 in Council Bluffs, Iowa and then came west with one of the first wagon trains. She walked most of the way arriving in the Salt Lake Valley in July, 1847. She married Jacob Mica Truman on April 19, 1849 in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City, Utah by John Taylor. He passed away on Nov. 23, 1881, leaving her widow for 38 years. He died at the Truman Ranch near Veyo, Washington county, Utah. At the age of 19, Elizabeth was set apart as a midwife and doctor. This calling became her well because, by nature, she was endowed with wisdom, sincere faith and keen knowledge of the functions of the human body. She continued this practice of a midwife until she was 75 years old. Her calls were many and on horseback of in a wagon drawn by oxen, mule or horse, she answered them all going as far as 60 to 70 miles from her home to do so. When they were living in the Cottonwood area in the Salt Lake Valley, her husband went back East to get his mother and two sisters. Elizabeth was left at home with their small children to care for during the year he was gone. While he was gone she milked cows and made butter sufficient to clear the indebtedness of $300.00 on their place. She, with her husband, were one of those called to settle Dixie at the October Conference in Oct., 1861, by Brigham Young. They arrived in St. George early 1862 and spent eight years during the trying times of trying to tame this arid land. In 1870, she, with her family, moved to Mountain Meadows (Hamblin) where she lived until 1877 when the family moved to a small farm two and a half miles below Gunlock, Washington County, Utah. Here she planted an orchard, obtained a weaving loom for weaving carpets and rugs and carried on her practice of being a midwife. She and her family would walk into Gunlock every Sunday for Sunday School and Sacrament Meeting. She was a teacher in the Sabbath School and for many years taught the Book of Mormon class. She was President of the Relief Society from Nov. 7, 1895 until 1897. She had may beautiful traits of character as well as beauty of feature. Her eyes were black with smiling wrinkles around them. Her hair was white in her old age and was beautiful. Her stature was short and rather plump. There was neatness in everything she did. Work was her philosophy, she cut and dried enough fruit to encircle the globe, made quilts sufficient to cover the families of a city, wove miles of carpet besides making tons of butter and cheese, gathered bushels of wild fruit. She gathered grain in the fields after the thrashing machine had finished. She was a wonderful woman and an example to her posterity." 2. The book "Pioneer Women of Faith and Fortitude" by the daughters of Utah Pioneers has the following biographical information on Elizabeth from the biography of Jacob Truman's second wife Catherine Maxwell Truman: "...Upon her (Catherine's) arrival in the valley, she learned that a Mr. Gaddis, the man who had helped pay her way to Utah with the intention of marrying her when she arrived, already had a wife. Elizabeth said, 'I will be the second wife to no man!' Elizabeth later met Jacob Mica Truman, from New York. They were married three months later on Dec. 21, 1856 with Brigham Young officiating. Although she said she would not be a second wife, that was exactly what she was. Jacob had married Elizabeth Boyce on April 19, 1849, and was living in South Cottonwood. Having lived the first 25 years of her life in the industrial cities of Scotland, Catherine had many adjustments to make as a pioneer wife. Catherine and Elizabeth were able to build a good relationship. Often indeed, did Catherine's fiery temper have the upper hand. Some felt sorry for the gentler Elizabeth, but can remember well their mutual anger when their husband brought home a third wife, Julia, on June 14, 1857. They made him see his error, and soon the new Mrs. Truman left. Catherine learned to cook and keep house, but she never enjoyed doing it...The family lived in South Cottonwood... They moved to Salem at the time of the Johnston's Army problem. Jacob was a Captain in the Nauvoo Legion and was in charge of making sure that the settlers were evacuated from South Cottonwood. In 1860, the family was called to settle Peoa, Utah. In 1862, to help settle St. George, but his wives did not like the heat in the summers in St. George. They would move to Diamond Valley where they had cattle and made butter and cheese... They were again called to help settle Fort Hamblin (Mountain Meadows). They built a new home, had a garden and a lot of cattle, and there was plenty of grass for Jacob was the presiding Elder there... On Nov. 23, 1881, Jacob contracted pneumonia and died at the age of 56 years. He is buried in the Hamblin Cemetery. Jacob's first wife lived in Gunlock and had 12 children, and passed away there on Nov. 6, 1919..." 3. From the website www.softcom.net/users/paulandsteph/jmt/elizabethshistory.html 8 Dec 2002: "History of Elizabeth Boyce - Pioneer to St. George, Utah - 1862; by Erma Bowler Bracken. (This history is taken from the book As Time Goes By by Nellie Rae Hunt Jones): Elizabeth Boyce was the daughter of George and Ann Geldard Boyce. She was born April 19th 1831 at Laharp, Michigan. Her childhood and early education took place in that state when it was the borderline of civilization and physical learning of how to make gardens, milk cows, and make butter and cheese, raise a few sheep, shear, wash, dye and spin the wool was common knowledge among the young ladies of her day, yet she learned to spell, read, and write. She was highly intellectual and each day of her entire life added knowledge to her fine mind. In her childhood she loved to roam the green hills of her homeland and gather the wild flowers and in the spring the wintergreen berries to chew. This flavor was always her favorite choice throughout her life. Her father was the fine type the Latter-day Saint missionaries found when they went proselyting the Gospel and as soon as he became a member of the Latter-day Saint faith he gathered his family and went to Nauvoo to be with the Prophet Joseph Smith and the body of the Saints. Her mother, Ann Geldard, one of God's noble women was endowed with faith to heal the sick, drive the power of the destroyer from her habitation and her talent was to set a table of abundance of the things of the earth with very little with which to do it. She was a peacemaker and enjoyed, with her husband and Children, the spirit of the Valleys of the Rocky Mountains. Elizabeth Boyce, with her parents, brothers and sisters, was with the Saints when they were driven out of Nauvoo and spent the winter of 1844 at Council Bluffs. It was here we presume she met Jacob Mica Truman who was born August 30th, 1825 in New York State (Niagara County). He had not reached his 21st birthday when on June 26th 1846, Captain James Allen of the United States Army arrived at Mount Pisgah, Iowa and presented to these homeless, driven, and persecuted refugees a circular asking for 500 men to take part in the war with Mexico. He was among the first to volunteer. He was placed in Company C. He was with the Captain James Brown Company of 90 men and 14 officers, 104 men all told. According to Daniel Tyler's journal Jacob Truman was among the soldiers who made the entire trip to San Diego and up to Sutter's Fork on the Sacramento River and was there when gold was discovered. He obtained work from Captain John A. Sutter. Sutter was hiring men to build sawmills, flour mills and dig a millrace. He was one of the ones Samuel Brannan met on his return trip from meeting Brigham Young and took his advice to remain in California and work the winter there. He returned to Salt Lake in the fall of and on the 19th of April 1849 Jacob Mica Truman took Elizabeth Boyce to be his bride. They were married on her 18th birthday by John Taylor. They went down in the South East part of the valley and took up land in South Cottonwood and built a house and both went to work to plant a garden and a few acres of wheat that they might reap a harvest and be sustained in this barren desert land. Soon after her marriage she was called, in fact at the age of 19, and set apart as a midwife and doctor. This calling became her well, because by nature she was endowed with wisdom, sincere faith and keen knowledge of the functioning of the human body. The first child she brought into this world was when she was all alone. She continued the practice of midwife until she was 75 years old and attributed all her great success to the Father in Heaven, who had restored his priesthood authority to men and they were always called in to administer and bless the patient whom when with her own faith was delivered in safety and brought back from the gates of death with a wee one safe and secure. Her calls were many and on horse back or in a wagon drawn by oxen, mule or horses she answered them all, going as far as 60 to 70 miles from her home to do so. Of such women words are great symbols to praise their name, surely there are laid up for them crowns of glory for the reward of their love and unselfishness. We love them and will always revere the memory of such heroines as Elizabeth Boyce Truman. When she had three little Children... her husband went back to the States (from Salt Lake) to get his mother and two sisters, Maria and Lauretta. He was gone a year and in that year she milked cows and made butter sufficient to clear the indebtedness of $300 on their place. It was one of the outstanding homes and small farms in that district. They were so proud of it and were prospering very well when the call came for them to pioneer into Utah's Dixie country. Obedient to the call, the place was sold and a wagon and outfit was purchased, and sometime in 1862 they, along with the others and their family of seven children set out. Brigham Young had visited southern Utah and could see resources there that would make a more self-supporting people and put to use their trade and abilities. Therefore, in the year of 1857, he called 28 families who were from the cotton growing states of Virginia, Tennessee and Texas to move south. Then in 1862 many more were called so that by March 22nd, 1862, sufficient numbers had responded that a conference was called and the City of St. George was divided into four wards. That fall 100,000 pounds of cotton was raised in Washington County. This trip to the south was the most trying, hard and perilous trip our pioneers encountered. Then they came to the great Black Ridge (which is the southeast corner of the Great Basin), this side (northeast) of St. George, Elizabeth Boyce could not see how they would ever get over it and the story is told how in places the gulches were so straight down and narrow (that) it was necessary to unload the wagons, take them apart, and piece by piece take them to the side. Such obstacles overcome the doubt of 'how on earth would they ever be able to live in such a desolate looking place.' While on the road, George Almus, her little son of five years, fell out of the wagon and had his leg broken. The company laid over one day to set the limb and journeyed on the next day. They lived in their wagons until they could build one small adobe room. It was shelter and was dear to them with its surroundings of mesquite and arrow willows. Soon a garden was planted, trees brought from the mountain and flowers edging the walk and geraniums in the windows made it "Home Sweet Home" to everyone. The water was brackish and warm and very unsatisfactory to quenching the thirst and made the entire family ill. The first three or four summers the Truman family moved up on the south side of Pine Valley Mountains and made butter and cheese for everyone who had cows in the settlements around. In 1870 they moved to Mountain Meadows, (and) in April 1877 (they) moved from Mountain Meadows to a farm 2 1/2 miles below the town of Gunlock. Here she planted an orchard, obtained a weaving loom for weaving homemade carpets and rugs and with her practice of midwifery lived for thirty-eight years. Gunlock was a very small place and had only a community square with a one-roomed school house and (church) meeting house combined. (It was) also used for a public amusement hall. The nearest store was at St. George, which was 20 miles away and would take a complete day of travel (each way). They received mail only when someone went to St. George, therefore, they didn't get many letters and they wrote very few. In the month of June 1874, father and mother Truman, their daughter Emma Maria and Franklin Overton Holt left St. George for Salt Lake City in a covered wagon. The occasion was to have their young folks married by the authority of the Church in the proper way. This was done July 6th, 1874, for time and all eternity and sealed for that purpose by Brigham Young. It took three weeks to make this long trip to Salt Lake City and three weeks to return home. Such faith and obedience to the principles as taught by their elders make us of today marvel at their loyalty and desire to adhere to council. When they arrived in the City they went to (visit) Elizabeth's sister, Nona Boyce Taylor. She was touched by the signs of toil and hardships as shown on brow, hands and bended back, and the poverty of dress and equipment so she said (to them), 'Out yonder is plenty of corn, if you shuck it you may have all your wagon will hold.' Thanking the Good Father above and loving their kind sister and auntie more than mere words can express, they set to work and in a few hours the wagon was heaped to running over with golden ears of corn. They took it, and with the bags of dried peaches, to the market and sold it, spending every cent in needed clothing, shoes, yarn and yardage goods. Oh how happy they were and Elizabeth (is) quoted (as saying), 'Alright Jacob, we can go home now and be assured we are covered until prosperity and markets come to southern Utah.' We who live in the northern part of the state of Utah where the railroad came to carry our surplus to market will never know the struggle of our brethren and sisters in the southern part where it never touched, and each family raised an abundance and could neither trade, nor sell, or give away their surplus for not even a postage stamp. Her home Gunlock was situated 2 1/2 miles below the town and when Father Truman was gone from home, which was a great part of time, as his second wife, Katie and family still lived up on the farm at Mountain Meadow, mother Elizabeth would take her entire family and walk to Sunday School and Sacrament Meeting every Sunday. She was a teacher in the Sabbath School teaching the Book of Mormon class for many years. She was also appointed President of the Relief Society on November 7th, 1895 and served until 1897 when she was released. In 1896 when she was 65 years old, Elder Mathias F. Cowley, an apostle visiting them asked her how old she was and she answered, 'Sixty-five.' He replied, 'You are good for twenty years more.' She lived 22 years (after that), enjoying the fruits of her labor in the well organized home and (with) faithful living sons and daughters. They loved her and her grandchildren revered her and knew her taste for green peas, mashed potatoes and dried peaches, stewed and made into a pie with nutmeg sprinkled on it. The summer time (in Dixie) is very warm and (so) when grandma was coming to spend the day, the children would draw water from the well and sprinkle it all over the door yard and walls of the house to cool and make pleasant the arbor where she could sit and enjoy herself as she sat and knitted and visited with them. She had many beautiful traits of character as well as beauty of feature. Her eyes were black and (had) smiling wrinkles that patience, sympathy and true devotion to her God and His children hat etched about her mouth, and with her white hair she was beautiful. Her stature was short and rather plump, and (she had) neatness in everything she did. She often remarked (that) no one had ever seen her bed unmade, nor her dishes not done. Indeed work was her philosophy - she had cut and dried enough fruit to encircle the globe, made quilts sufficient to cover the families of a city, woven miles of carpet, besides (made) tons of butter and cheese, gathered bushels of wild fruits, and followed day after day garnering wheat after the man who cut (it) with an old fashioned grain cradle. We have no count of the babies she brought into the world nor the lives she saved through her administrations. She always reminded her grandchildren to always do two jobs while you are doing one. If you went to feed the cow, bring back an arm full of wood on your return; if you went for water, draw (up) an extra bucket (and put in) the trough for the animals; if you were visiting, take your stitching or knitting with you, thus wasting not a minute of the day so that at its close you may truthfully say, 'Something accomplished, something done has earned a night's repose.' These latter-day women of the past generation were Saints defending a new religion, they were also Saints of perfection as they lived their span of life. Elizabeth Boyce was the first of three wives of Jacob Mica Truman. She was the mother of the following children: Martha Ann Truman (2 May 1850-26 Feb 1892) John Franklin Truman (7 Jul 1851-14 Jun 1866) Emma Maria Truman (5 Nov 1852-6 Sep 1921) Jacob Boyce Truman (24 Jul 1855-18 Nov 1873) George Almus Truman (2 Mar 1857-22 Mar 1919) William Thomas Truman (20 Dec 1858-11 Aug 1947) Lucuis Truman (5 Apr 1860-6 Feb 1861) Lucy Elizabeth Truman (8 Oct 1864-21 May 1905) Albert Henry Truman (20 Oct 1867-1 Apr 1939) Mary Lois Truman (26 Mar 1871-17 Aug 1959) Lasina Almena Truman (11 Sep 1873-13 Aug 1959) Esther Priscilla Truman (4 Jan 1876-24 Jul 1936) Two of them, John and Lucius, died young. Jacob, her fourth Child, went hunting jack rabbits with a boy friend and as they were going under a fence, the gun in the friend's hand went off and Jacob was shot (and died). She also saw her daughter Emma Maria lose her beautiful daughter, Roxie, by being burned to death and another grandchild drowned. The following were the children of Catherine Maxwell, Jacob's second wife: Ralph Maxwell Truman (2 Oct 1857-5 Jul 1871) Rhoda Maria Truman (4 May 1859-21 Jul 1907) Lauretta Catherine Truman (4 Aug 1861-6 Mar 1933) Elizabeth Ann Truman (26 Apr 1863-9 Jun 1865) Mica Spencer Truman (19 Oct 1865-19 Mar 1947) Ellen Sophia Truman (18 Feb 1867-8 Mar 1956) Arthur Monroe Truman (12 Dec 1869-9 Mar 1925) Catherine was always known as Katie by (her) family and friends. No record available of children, if any, of (Jacob's) third wife, Julia Ardena Hales. She came south sometime after the other families but, according to history, returned to Salt Lake area after a short time. She may not have been accepted very well by the other two wives. Jacob Mica Truman died November 23rd, 1881 after a few days illness leaving Elizabeth a widow for (the next) 38 years. (She followed her husband) from this life on November 6th, 1919. Funeral services were held in the open air at Mountain Meadows on the 7th, Bishop James L. Bunker of Veyo presided. The Enterprise Choir, composed mostly of her grandchildren furnished the singing. The speakers were Elder Jacob Truman and George Henry Bowler, (both grandsons). She was laid to rest beside her husband and the grave was dedicated by Bishop Bunker. Dear Pioneer Grandmother You were sweet and lovely Spreading cheer far and near Even in our hearts today when We read and hear and revere The memory of such as you. Did you know then you were Weaving a pattern for us to live by That we, like you, may be true, and love, Be loved and give love that the world is Left better for all whoever they may be Who may bear your name or chance to know Your posterity you have left behind. -Bertha Sager" BIRTH: 1.

The book "Pioneer Women of Faith and Fortitude" by the daughters of Utah Pioneers: "Catherine Maxwell Truman, b. 27 Apr 1829 at Kirkfield Bank, Lesmabago, Lanark, Scotland, d. 31 Dec 1922 at Huntington, Emery, Utah, parents are Ralph Maxwell and Elizabeth Donnoly [Burial index cited below shows mother as Edith Gifford Maxwell], pioneer of 26 Sep 1856 with the Second Handcart Company, m. 21 Dec 1856 Jacob Mica Truman in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah (he died 23 Nov 1881 at Hamblin, Washington, Utah), children: Ralph Maxwell, 2 Oct 1857 Rhoda Maria (Hunt), 4 May 1859 Lauretta Catherin (Mathie), 4 Aug 1861 Elizabeth Ann, 26 Apr 1863 (died as an infant) Mica Spencer, 19 Oct 1865 Ellen Sophia (Brockbank), 18 Feb 1867 Arthur Munroe, 12 Dec 1869 Catherine was born in 1829 in Scotland. Her parents were both born in Ireland. Her family belonged to the Presbyterian Church prior to their conversion to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1843-44. Her brother was the President of the Glasgow Branch for many years. After her father died in 1853, the family, like many other people, wanted to come to Zion but didn't have the money to do so. Brigham Young organized the Perpetual Emigration Fund Company to help finance member's trips, but the Saints came so fast that the fund was being depleted. Covered wagons were expensive, so the handcart movement was started. They could sail from Europe to America for $45.00, and then finish the journey by handcart. Elizabeth and her fmily left Liverpool, England on March 23, 1856 on the ship "Enoch Train" and arrived in Boston, MA on May 1, 1856. They traveled by rail to Iowa, purchased handcarts for their journey across the Plains. Elizabeth Maxwell became ill, and decided to remain in Winter Quarters until she felt able to go on. Catherine shouldered her mother's responsibility in caring for her two brothers and two sisters. Two other young girls, Ellen Russell and Elizabeth Darrough, traveled with the Maxwell family. They traveled in the second company, a Scottish group, with Captain Daniel McArthur beginning on June 11, 1856. They established a record of 32 miles for one day's march. They arrived on Sep. 26, 1856, in the Salt Lake Valley. The way was long and hard. Often, some of their few possissions had to be left along the way to lighten the load. Catherine did manage to keep a beautiful paisley shawl and a lovely black silk dress, a pair of candle holders and her crochet hooks. She loved to crochet and did it beautifully. Upon their arrival in the valley, word reached them that their mother had joined another company and was on her way. But she was not strong enough to combat the rigors of the trail and she died in Echo Canyon, and is buried there beside the trail. This news made Cahterine's heart heavy. Upon her arrival in the valley, she learned that a Mr. Gaddis, the man who had helped pay her way to Utah with the intention of marrying her when she arrived, already had a wife. Elizabeth said, 'I will be the second wife to no man!' Elizabeth later met Jacob Mica Truman, from New York. They were married three months later on Dec. 21, 1856 with Brigham Young officiating. Although she said she would not be a second wife, that was exactly what she was. Jacob had married Elizabeth Boyce on April 19, 1849, and was living in South Cottonwood. Having lived the first 25 years of her life in the industrial cities of Scotland, Catherine had many adjustments to make as a pioneer wife. Catherine and Elizabeth were able to build a good relationship. Often indeed, did Catherine's fiery temper have the upper hand. Some felt sorry for the gentler Elizabeth, but can remember well their mutual anger when their husband brought home a third wife, Julia, on June 14, 1857. They made him see his error, and soon the new Mrs. Truman left. Catherine learned to cook and keep house, but she never enjoyed doing it. She had a beautiful singing voice and sang in the Opera in Scotland. She sang as she went about her work. Her favorite song was 'Listen to the Mockingbird.' The family lived in South Cottonwood where two children were born. They moved to Salem at the time of the Johnston's Army problem. Jacob was a Captain in the Nauvoo Legion and was in charge of making sure that the settlers were evacuated from South Cottonwood. In 1860, the family was called to settle Peoa, Utah. In 1862, to help settle St. George, but his wives did not like the heat in the summers in St. George. They would move to Diamond Valley where they had cattle and made butter and cheese. Catherine knew how to spin cotton from working in the factories in Scotland and she made beautiful clothing. While living in St. George, Catherine sold her beautiful black silk dress because food became so scarce. She sold it for flour. What a sad day this was for Catherine. They were again called to help settle Fort Hamblin (Mountain Meadaows). They built a new home, had a garden and a lot of cattle, and there was plenty of grass for Jacob was the presiding Elder there. Catherine's last girl was born in Hamblin, and she had seven children all together, her last son was born in 1869 in Peoa. On Nov. 23, 1881, Jacob contracted pneumonia and died at the age of 56 years. He is buried in the Hamblin Cemetery. Jacob's first wife lived in Gunlock and had 12 children, and passed away there on Nov. 6, 1919. Catherine was a proud woman, firm in her convictions and strong in character. She was a faithful Church member, holding many church positions, mostly in the music areas. She maintained a strong testimony of the gospel. After her husband's death, Catherine's son, Mica Spencer, took her and the unmarried children to Castle Valley, where she stayed for several years. She then moved to Rexburg, Idaho with her son, Arthur, ten years old. She then returned to Huntington, Utah where she passed away on Dec. 3, 1922, at the age of 95 years. She is buried beside her son Mica Truman. She was indeed a brave pioneer who experienced many trial and tribulations following her joining the Church. She remained faithful to the Church, and lived her religion. Her posterity honor her for her faithfulness and for her great fortitude in moving so many times in helping settle the areas of the territory." 2. From the website www.softcom.net/users/paulandsteph/jmt/elizabethshistory.html 8 Dec 2002: "History of Catherine Maxwell - Adapted from a history by Mrs. J. M. Jones: Catherine Maxwell was born in Lanark, Lanarkshire, Scotland, on 15 April 1827. She was a proud woman, firm in her convictions, and strong in character. She was the daughter of Ralph Maxwell, who was born 25 Dec 1794 in Celerity, Ireland and, Elizabeth Donnely, who was born in 1804. Catherine started working in a factory at age six. She had a beautiful voice and would often sing as she went about her work. Her favorite song was "Listen to the Mocking Bird." She also sang operas. Catherine's family belonged to the Presbyterian Church before their conversion to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day-Saints in 1843, or 1844. Her father was President of the Glasgow Branch of LDS Church for many years. After her father's death about 1853, the family re-doubled their efforts to move to Zion, and join her brother John, who had come ahead to prepare a way for them to come. They left Liverpool, England 23 March 1856 on the ship "Enoch Train," and arrived in Boston, Massachusetts Harbor 1 May 1856. They traveled by rail to Iowa where whey purchased a handcart for the journey across the plains. A man by the name of M. Gaddes paid for her to ride to Utah, but she walked so her mother could ride. Catherine's mother became in Winter Quarters so decided to stay until she became able to travel. This left Catherine, a young lady of 25, with the responsibility of caring for her brothers and sisters, namely Arthur, Ralph, Elizabeth and Ann, also Ellen Russell (who later became a sister-in-law) and Elizabeth Darrough. When they finally were able to leave Winter Quarters in 1856 (their mother stayed behind until she was able to travel), they traveled in the second Handcart Company led by Daniel D. McArthur. The names and ages of the family as listed by the daughters of Utah Pioneers (D.U.P.) lesson Jan 1971, pg. 312 are as follows: Elizabeth 52 (this has to be in error, as explained later in this history), Arthur 30, Catherine 25, Elizabeth 23, Ralph 18, and Ann 14. The way was long and they saw no other white persons along the trail. Often some of their possessions had to be left along the trail to lighten the load. Catherine did manage to bring a beautiful paisley shawl with her prized possessions. Word reached the Maxwell family that their mother had joined another Handcart Company and that she was on her way. But she was not strong enough to take the hardships of the journey, and she died at head of Echo Canyon. She was buried in a large cave alongside of the trail. In the meantime, when Catherine's brother, John, heard that his mother was on the trail to Salt Lake Valley with another Handcart Company, he went back along the trail to meet them. There he learned that his mother had died the day before he met the company. This was severe shock to him. This news made Catherine's heart ever heavier, for she found that upon arriving in the Valley that the man she was to marry already had a wife. She said, "I will be the second wife to no man," but she changed her mind when she met Jacob Mica Truman. She became his second wife, within six months. Having lived most of her life in the industrial cities of Scotland, many adjustments had to be made by her to become a pioneer wife. Often indeed did her fiery scotch temper have the upper hand. Many of the neighbors felt sorry for the gentle Elizabeth Boyce, Jacob Truman's first wife. But well do they remember the mutual anger at Jacob when he brought home a third wife, Julia Ardena Hales, whom he had married 14 Jun 1857. Together they made him see the error in bringing Julia there as she did not fit in with them. Alice Hunt Jones, a granddaughter of Rhoda Maria, relates the following incident: 'I will just have to relate a little incident told to me by a granddaughter of Catherine's (Libby Terry). One morning Aunt Katie (as she was more commonly known) was getting ready to go milk the cows, she had her little brass milk bucket in her hand ready to go, when Julia said to her, 'I slept with Jacob last night, but all you slept with was little Jacob.' At that Aunt Katie threw the bucket at Julia's head, but Julia ducked in time to miss it.' Julia finally left and divorced Jacob, leaving Catherine and Elizabeth with the labor of rearing their families in the path of righteous living. Jacob Mica and his two wives, Elizabeth and Catherine, lived in South Cottonwood for several years. Then he was called by Brigham Young, to go help settle the little town of Hamblin, better known as Mountain Meadows. They lived there several years, when in November 1881 he was taken very ill and after one week he died suddenly on the 23rd. He was only 56 Years old. John Pulsipher wrote in his diary that Jacob Mica Truman was buried 26 November 1881 in the little cemetery on the small hill just southeast from the town. Jacob and Catherine had seven children: Ralph, born 2 Oct 1857 Rhoda Maria, born 4 May 1859 Lauretta Catherine, born 4 Aug 1861 Elizabeth Ann, born 26 Apr 1863 (but died on 9 Jun 1865) Mica Spencer, born 19 Oct 1865 Ellen Sophia, born 18 Feb 1867 Arthur Monroe, born 12 Dec 1869 Years later Catherine moved to Huntington, Emery County, Utah, to live with her son Mica and family, where she lived for a few years. Her son Arthur lived in Sugar City, Idaho and when his wife died she went to live with him to help take care of his son Reave who was just a small boy at the time. Later she moved back to Huntington, where she felt more at home. At the age of 90 years she fell and broke her hip, from which she never entirely recovered and she died 31 December 1922, at the age of 93 years. She was buried in Huntington Cemetery. Reflections of Grandma Truman by Arthur Reeve Truman, son of Arthur Monroe Truman: 'Grandmother Truman was very protective of me in my early Childhood and up through my age of 13 or 14 years. My earliest recollection of her is (while) living in Rexburg, Idaho, where my father practiced law. She lived with us and was in charge of the household and of me. I do not know what her age may have been at that time. I remember her as being of slight build, maybe 115 to 125 lbs, about 5' 5." I don't recall that she talked very much about her family, brothers or sisters, if any. She did talk of having worked in a textile mill in Glasgow, at age 12, and frequently talked about the beautiful city of Edinburgh. I remember we had quite a time finding the LDS baptismal place in the Madison River nearby, where I was baptized. In Rexburg, she would take me to visit and play with a boy named Eddie Miller; also in Sugar City, where I would play with the children of a Ross family, (who are) my 1st and 2nd cousins. I recollect I wrote a lot of letters for her from Rexburg to Huntington, to Enterprise and to Gunlock, Utah. I would also read (to her the) reply letters from these towns. I am not sure whether or not she could read or write, but I believe she could to some extent. I lived with her in Huntington for a while, (when) I was going to grade school then. Seems like I did some letter writing for her there - to Enterprise and Gunlock - to a Pulsipher family, maybe St. George also. After graduating from high school in Huntington and coming to Salt Lake for a summer or two, I lost tract of her activities. She was living in Huntington at that time. I am sure that without her love and care, my early life would have been very difficult.'" From same source but for Jacob Truman's other wife's biography: "The following were the children of Catherine Maxwell, Jacob's second wife: Ralph Maxwell Truman (2 Oct 1857-5 Jul 1871) Rhoda Maria Truman (4 May 1859-21 Jul 1907) Lauretta Catherine Truman (4 Aug 1861-6 Mar 1933) Elizabeth Ann Truman (26 Apr 1863-9 Jun 1865) Mica Spencer Truman (19 Oct 1865-19 Mar 1947) Ellen Sophia Truman (18 Feb 1867-8 Mar 1956) Arthur Monroe Truman (12 Dec 1869-9 Mar 1925) Catherine was always known as Katie by (her) family and friends..."

FHL book 779.248/N1-H2g "The Harmony Valley - and New Harmony, Utah, History and Memories," compiled by Sheldon B. Grant and Kay Daun. Pace Edwards: Pp. 121-122: "Independence [Taylor] was always called 'Uncle Penn.' His only known residence in New Harmony was the house across the street from Tom and Vilo Pearce's home (now owned by Mike and Alex Ashby) and south of the Post Office. Uncle Penn owned a six-acre lot east of his home and about 40 acres north of the cemetery and below the dry field ditch... He also owned another 20 acres on the south side of Lower Joe Lee Creek... Edmund Carbine Grant owned ground west of Uncle Penn's. These two men were not only neighbors but also true friends. Their lots joined on the north, and their stables, barns, and stockyards were less than 100 yards apart. They traded work on their places in town and on the farms on Joe Lee Creek, a tradition that carried to the third generation. Sheldon Grant said, "Grandfather would farm out his grandsons to help this good man." He remembers working on Uncle Penn's farm, riding a horse, weeding, irrigating, cutting corn, and other farm chores. Uncle Penn's granddaughters would also ride the horse to help with the crops. Through marriage, Uncle Penn and Edmund Carbide Grant also became related when Edmund married Emily Adair, a sister to Joseph Adair who had married Uncle Penn's daughter, Sarah Adelia Taylor... Independence Taylor died March 21, 1942... [and is] buried in New Harmony Cemetery. Their home recently sold, but the Adair family still own the property to the east. None of the Adairs presently live in New Harmony, but they are hoping to get the property they own annexed into the town of New Harmony for a subdivision. Pp. 134: Edmund Carbine Grant was born September 11, 1858, in Kaysville, Davis County, Utah, to George Roberts Grant and Mary Adelia Carbine. His only sibling, a sister, died as an infant. When his father, George Roberts Grant, went to California and left him with his mother, Mary Carbine Grant, she married William Warren Taylor. Edmund was about five or six years of age when he moved to New Harmony with his mother and stepfather. Stepchildren sometimes have a hard time being accepted by their new parent. Edmund was the oldest boy in the family, but there was friction between him and his three half-brothers and stepfather. It was perhaps inevitable that he would leave home while still a young man. Edmund had excellent skills in handling and caring for horse teams. By the time he was ten years old he was driving them, and by age 15 he could handle them as well as anyone and better than most. When he left home it was only natural for him to go into the freighting business, He was very good at it and enjoyed the excitement of the lifestyle it represented. John D. Lee had been called to Arizona to start a lumber mill in the early 1870s. Edmund C. Grant and John D. Lee became very good friends. It was in Arizona that he went to work for Lee. John D. Lee became a father figure to young Edmund. Edmund said to many of his grandchildren, 'A finer, more outstanding, square-shooting man I have never known.' If anyone ever made derogatory remark about John D. Lee, Edmund would bristle and say, 'Humph! I do not believe it.' Edmund met and married Emily Jane Adair on February 4, 1885, in Nutrioso, Apache County, Arizona. Their first child and son, Edmund LeRoy Grant, was born there on November 21, 1885. Their remaining seven children - Eleanor, Emily Adelia, George Albert, Pansey, Floyd, Rosamond, and Gladys - were born in New Harmony. After moving back to New Harmony, Edmund continued to do what he liked best for several years - freighting. He made regular trips to Lund, Utah, (before the railroad came into Cedar City), and to Cedar City, Hurricane, St. George, or anyplace else where he could find work. It was an honorable profession and was much in demand at that time. The omnipresence of semi-trucks and trailers on modern highways indicates that it still is. On one trip Edmund camped for the night and began to prepare his evening meal. He always fed, watered, and blanketed his horses before attending to his own needs. Another teamster came by and asked if he could camp with him. 'Sure, it's a free country,' Edmund said. 'Take care of your horses. Supper will soon be ready, and you are welcome to eat with me.' After the meal and the remaining camp chores were completed, the two men talked for a time around the campfire. Edmund then suggested that they roll their beds together. 'It's going to be a cold night, and we will keep warmer that way.' The man replied, 'You don't want to sleep with me, I'm lousy.' 'Good Hell - so am I!' Edmund exclaimed. The next morning he really was. When he reached home, his wife washed and ironed all his clothes and the bedding and eventually got rid of the lice! After he slowed down in the freighting business, Edmund Grand managed several sheep herds for Wilson Imlay in the Hurricane valley and other places. Later he ran a small farm south of New Harmony. He continued to do some freighting, primarily for himself and his friends. He also did all the work that any other pioneer did, although on a smaller scale. He taught his boys and grandchildren the value of work early in their lives. He know horses - his first love - and taught his children and grandchildren about livestock raising. Edmund and Sidney Goddard were good friends and spent time together at Goddard's ranch eight miles north of New Harmony. He was a hard worker, a good father, husband, and grandfather, and a true friend. He rode his pinto horse saddled until he couldn't saddle it anymore. Then he led it to a big log on his place and rode the horse bareback. He was still riding when he was close to ninety years old." Pg. 136: "Emily Jane Adair was born December 28, 1865, at Washington, Washington County, Utah to George Washington Adair and Emily Prescinda Tyler. She married Edmund Carbine Grant on February 4, 1885, in Nutrioso, Apache County, Arizona. Emily's maternal grandfather was Daniel Tyler. He was a pioneer, and educator, and was prominent in both the Church and community. Daniel was well versed in church doctrine, and exercised the spiritual gifts of prophecy, speaking in tongues, and the interpretation of tongues many times throughout his life. Before his baptism he was slow of speech, but afterwards he was blessed with a fluent tongue. Daniel had close associations with the Prophet Joseph Smith and his brother, Hyrum. He was a member of Zion's Camp and suffered mobbing and expulsion with the Saints. He also attended the School of the Prophets and was a member of the Nauvoo Legion. He filled several missions for the church, and was one of the men who responded to President Brigham Young's call to serve in the Mormon Battalion with the United States Army. Thirty-six years later, at the insistence of his comrades and with the encouragement of President John Taylor, Daniel compiled what came to be recognized as the accepted history of that incredible adventure." Pg. 142: Sidney C. Goddard and LeRoy Grant, son of Edmund and Emily Adair Grant were partners in two adjoining ranches. Sidney never married. He died at age 67. "Sidney left his ranch to Emily Adair Grant. Her son, LeRoy, lived on the ranch and operated it along with his own property. When Emily Grant died, the ranch became property of Emma G. Neilson. By this time the Goddard name had been dropped and it was called the Grant ranch. It is still called the Grant Ranch on signs and maps, although it is no longer the property of any Grant descendant. A. Cannon Huntsman, a son-in-law of LeRoy and Sadie Grant, now owns and operates that part that belonged to LeRoy." Pg. 143:"Joseph Welton Adair, Sr. was born November 6, 1881, in Washington, Utah, [Kerry's note - error: should be Nutrioso, AZ] to George Washington Adair and Emily Presinda Tyler. He was a brother of Emily Jane Adair. He married Sarah Adelia (Susie) Taylor who was born Nov. 6, 1882, in New Harmony to Independence and Julia Anner Taylor. Soon after Joseph and Sarah Adelia married, they moved to Farmington, New Mexico. All their five children were born there. Farmington is a farming and livestock area located on the San Juan River. They lived there for about 22 years. Eventually their longing for the area where they were born and raised and the aging of their parents brought them back home. They sold their holdings in Farmington, and with team and buggy, wagons, horse, mules, and an Angora goat herd, they covered the 600-mile journey to New Harmony, arriving during the summer of 1925. The Angora goat business was booming in New Harmony at the time. A total of 10,000 head were owned in the Valley, and Joseph Adair owned 1,000 of them. He summered them in the East Mountain area and wintered them on the Arizona Strip. Joseph and his two oldest sons, Joseph and Mark, were with the herd most of the time. They used two riding mules named Tom and Betty. Joseph W. Adair, Sr. died Nov. 9, 1926. The load of caring for the goat herd then fell fully upon Joe, Jr., age 18, and Mark, about 15. The children at that time ranged in age from six to 22 years. The two youngest children, Ruth and Riley, were in school in New Harmony. In 1933, when Lurene Pace Taylor moved into the Max Pace home, Susie Adair and her family moved into the home of Independence Taylor to care for her aging father. Uncle Penn was 79 years old at the time. Susie Adair eventually married Randell Lunt. When Independence Taylor died, his home lot and other property near town became her property. When Susie died, the property became owned by Ruth and George Smith. Both Joseph Adair, Sr., and Sarah Adelia Taylor Adair Lunt are buried in the New Harmony Cemetery." 3. Received from Don Smith, 2003, authored by Margie Mecham, 1968: "And a Pure Heart." Margie's grandparents in this story were Edmund Grant and Emily Jane Adair: "Two large pictures hung on the wall in Grandma's bedroom. One was the portrait of a sweet-faced woman, the other, a full length pose of a young sailor, hand on hip, and with a proud lift to his head. As a child these pictures greatly intrigued me, for I had always known that sorrow and mystery hung as an invisible shroud around the unfamiliar faces. When time and opportunity allowed, (such an occasion being rare as Grandma didn't like an unattended child dill-dallying in her bedroom), I tiptoed close to better see and study each face. A camera had preserved the features of two people whom I had never known but whose names were as familiar to me as my own. They had been greatly loved by those near and dear to me and so I loved them too. A little pang would strike at my Childish heart with the realization that they would never know of my existence- that I was Emma's and Jim's girl. Suddenly and unfailingly, goose flesh prickled my arms and I would shiver a little and turn away, wishing I hadn't stopped to remember what had happened to "Aunt Mame" and "Uncle Floyd." The loss of a member from any family circle is grievous and heartbreaking. Was it because Aunt Mame was a bride of less than a year; that she had never known much of happiness until she married my mother's oldest brother; that she had died in the early stages of her first pregnancy, that made her passing more tragic, harder to reconcile? She had been a girl of numerous virtues and much character; loved and accepted by her husband's people as a fine addition to their family. Even Grandma would have been hard put to have found a more worthy wife for her adored first-born. Mamie and Roy were anxious for a baby. I have never known whether they had a short time of happiness knowing that she was with child before the nausea began, or if the terrible retching and vomiting was their first indication of her condition. This early symptom of pregnancy is, normally, far more uncomfortable and troublesome, than dangerous. But such was not the case with Mamie. All the medicines and home-remedies of that day did little, or nothing, to ease her suffering. She became weaker and more dehydrated daily and those who labored in the fight to save her life were all too helpless in the face of this uncommon development. A mantle of grief settled about the young husband and remained with him for the fifty more years that he lived. With voice's that trembled occasionally, eyes welling with tears, my mother and grandmother would tell of those first dark days and weeks of his despair. Endless hours each day found him lying on the floor, head cradled in his arms, the mother and sister searching in vain for words that would comfort this beloved son and brother. The bright, hand-loomed carpet and musty straw beneath, absorbed each wave of tears and bitterness and saw the death of much that was Roy. With this dying went youth and the ability to really enjoy life; a little compassion and understanding for others went too. As I grew older I sometimes searched his face and manner for signs that would indicate this capacity to love so deeply and grieve so bitterly, but they were lost in the man I knew. When I made mention of this to my parents, they would shake their heads sadly and say: "He changed after Mamie died." The young man who had stood before the camera and tried so hard to look old enough to be in Uncle Sam's navy, had been a lad when his sister-in-law died. Floyd was a bright boy, curios and eager to learn something new. He was also a dreamer and a planner, with imagination and vision. He was a talker and a natural born salesman. Grandma always said: "No sense in tellin' a story if you can't make it good." And she practiced what she preached. Grandpa wanted no truck with this sort of thing and he grunted louder and louder as her stories got better and better. Floyd inherited his mother's talent for telling a story by both breeding and example and it was not unusual to see some of the local boys doing his chores while he told stories and entertained them. He was saved from being a young confidence man by his honesty, goodness, and love for people. When the disastrous flu epidemic struck, Floyd was one of the few who seemed to have an immunity. Day after day he went about making rounds; from house to house he went, doing the necessary chores, preparing food, nursing and comforting each stricken household, barely permitting himself a few scant hours sleep at night. Such dedication and devotion is rarely found in a teenage boy. Finally he reached the point of complete and utter exhaustion. Fortunately, by then some of the earliest victims were getting on their feet and the weary boy could permit the crushing load to slide from his shoulders. Floyd longed for the world and its wonders - he longed for the new and different - for excitement. Most of all he longed to find himself and his niche. His mother yearned and cried over him. His father plainly did not understand this boy who was so different and his patience grew thin. Everyone was singing, "There's a Long, Long Trail Home" - he sent his love to all. Then there was nothing more from him, or about him. It was not until I had a son of my own did I realize, to any degree, the extent and texture of this special kind of pain and suffering; There would be the first faint annoyance at him for not having written, at least another card, before now; The annoyance turning into nagging anxiety; Then mounting fear and frantic hours stretching between one day's mail delivery to the next. How did they bear it, my grandparents, bear the aching and the longing? Looking back I realize that they took this great sorrow with more fortitude and dignity than most people could muster. As a youngster, however, I wondered why grandpa didn't have much to say to people but muttered a lot to himself and pulled at his hair in annoyance. His frail shoulders took everything that life brought his way, they bent a bit more with the burden but this man would never break. I wondered why grandma cried quite a bit and sometimes spoke of bitterness, saying it in such a way that you could taste the nasty acidness in your mouth. I wonder no more. After I had grown up, I questioned my father at length about Uncle Floyd. He said he had thought for years that Floyd was dead, otherwise he'd have been in touch. Even if he'd decided not to come home he had loved his parents, his brothers and sisters, and their babies - and it was not in his character to have deliberately hurt them so. It was my Dad's theory that Uncle Floyd had probably been murdered in some dark alley of a remote European City, robbed of his money and identification and subsequently buried in an unknown grave. My mother, and her parents, would never hear this bit of logic from Dad but I was sure this must be, or pretty nearly so, the right answer. Mother never spoke of her brother's returning, she was certain he would not, but she could never bring herself to say out loud that she believed him dead. This time the songs were "Don't Sit under the Apple Tree, "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition," "The White Cliffs of Dover," and the world was at it again. One day a special letter came for Grandma. The postmark and address were strange. Grandma and Grandpa were something like eight-two and eighty-seven years old. Their health was not the best, of course, and their eyesight failing. Hope, that seemed dead these many years, flickered in the breasts of the poor, old folks. Grandma's heart pounded alarmingly and she trembled and cried. Grandpa controlled himself, as always, and called for a passerby to go after my mother. He could not let himself think that the letter was from Floyd until he had more to go on than what they could make out on the envelope, but they must wait, both knowing they could not be alone when its contents were revealed, regardless of whether it contained a miracle, or it did not. My parents arrived - the letter opened. A local boy in Europe had thought of his hometown and its people and had written to say "hello" to "Aunt Em" and "Uncle Ed." In my opinion it was then, and only then, that the lost boy was really given up, finally and forever. The night Grandma died I sat by her bedroom door - she was in a coma and I had been told there was nothing for me to do except take a turn at waiting. In the next room Grandpa was waiting also - waiting for Grandma to go, then he would permit himself to die. In her eighty-sixth year Grandma had been trying all summer to give up her life. Grandpa had just turned ninety-one and was marking time. He didn't want to do anything inconsiderate, or selfish, like dying first, else it might disturb Grandma and cause everyone more trouble and concern. He would do hid dying like he had done everything else, as quietly, unobtrusively, and with as little fuss, as possible. Under heavy sedation he would not require attention that night. The handiwork I had thought would be a panacea for nervousness, lay in my lap. I had made determined effort to count stitches, but each time I lost track. It was impossible to concentrate with the sound of Grandma's harsh and labored breathing gripping at my heart. The old clock on the mantelpiece ticked a long time between each of those shuddering breaths and little darts of fear dried my throat. It would be over soon - the years spent running in and out of this house, (less frequently the past while, since I had been away from home so much), but still, each room, most every piece of furniture, or dish, held memories. The oddly matched couple who had lived here had been as much a part of my growing up - taken as much for granted - as the air I had breathed. Their blood was in my veins and I had in me some 0f their recognizable traits and characteristics. Mine were not the commonly stereotyped grandparents. They were distinct personalities and I had loved them as much for their faults and failings as for their many good qualities. It occurred to me then that I had loved them even more than I had known. Quietly and with calm purpose I went to Grandma's bedside to say my good-byes. Before long my parents would come and send me home and I knew that she would be gone before I returned. Almost automatically, I raised my eyes to the two pictures hanging on the wall by her bed, then I prayed that Uncle Floyd and Aunt Mame would be among those spirits who would soon come to be her escort. Several days after Grandpa died I was alone in the house that had been my second home. The errand, for which I had come, took me to Grandma's bedroom. Feeling the guilt of Childhood I hurried to complete my task. Having finished, I looked around lovingly; the old trunk, (that bore resemblance to a malformed camel at rest), the chiffonier with its worn, black paint; my eyes moved on to the brass bedstead and to the Bare Space On The Wall Where Two Pictures Had Hung!!!!!! who had removed them? Not my mother, I knew. Funny, I had never noticed before how dingy the walls were, how ugly and bare the room. There was really nothing here for me anymore. Grandma and Grandpa were gone-the pictures too, it didn't seem right, so soon. Without another glance I walked out for the last time, never to return, and I was cold and crying. In fiction writing the end of a story is placed in its correct position, all wrapped up and tied in a proper package. This is a convenience sometimes denied the writer of life and truth. On occasion, time magically turns the end of one story into the prelude of another. In this case, time being slightly less than one year. My parents had spent a quiet, Sunday afternoon in early fall. Along toward sunset a car was heard pulling to a stop. Dad's favorite chair is by the front-room window and he glanced out to see who their visitor might be. A rather seedy, middle-aged man, carrying a cheap suitcase, got out of the automobile and it drove away. Dad squinted a little, if he didn't know better he'd think that the person taking so much time to open the gate and walk up the path was Floyd Grant. Well, anyway, it was obviously a relative on Grandma's side of the family, for he had the Adair look. The knock came quietly, timidly. Mother went to the door and opened it. The man framed in her doorway said: "I was told I have a sister here." There is no clear explanation available, of what happened to Uncle Floyd in the thirty some years he was away. He tried at first to speak of those years and answer the questions everyone had for him, but the telling and the reliving would disturb him greatly. His sentences were often incoherent and the stories hard to connect together. With agitation came stuttering and we gave up trying for details, for straightening out discrepancies, or for tying up loose ends. Roughly then, without effort on my part to clarify here, these are the basics. A sick spell, shell shock and amnesia. At some early point he returned to the states. He married and lived in New York City and had two children. While riding her bicycle one day, his teen-age daughter was struck by a car and killed. This tragic loss of the only one who truly loved him brought about a complete mental breakdown. Prior to this he had been miserable and unhappy with his wife and his son had become a stranger to him. They were glad to put him in Bellevue Hospital and be done with him. For several years he remained hospitalized, working to repair his mind, to overcome the hallucinations and the nervous stuttering. His Doctors were among the best in mental health; two or three friends remained true and with their combined knowledge, skill and encouragement, he began to heal. With the gradual return to health came lucid memories and pictures of home and parents, brothers and sisters, and boyhood chums. How he longed for all of them, but he was afraid to break the long silence. Thru these many years whenever vague recollections, or flashes of memory would strike him, the urge to locate his people was strong but his wife assured him repeatedly that his family would be dead, or scattered, or both, and if they were not it had been too long, they wouldn't want to hear from him now. She had done her dirty work well and now he could not run the risk of finding out that she had been right. Being despicable in nature, the wife and son refused to sign papers for his release to their custody and he was confined for an extra year while the loyal friends and the Red Cross worked for his unconditional release and legal release. It was then he made a vow that when he left the hospital he would get a job and work at it sixteen hours a day until he had enough money to go home. He was going back to where his life began and regardless of what he found there, he would cope with it somehow. But oh!!! how he prayed that loved ones would welcome him home. Nearly eighteen years have passed since that Sunday afternoon in early fall. Uncle Floyd is getting along in years now. He is quieter, happy and content to live out his life close to his family and beloved church. During a recent visit, he told us, my husband and me, about his latest project. He was boyish and eager, as though he were about to go out and see the world - in a sailor's suit. The boy did not fit into a mold-nor does the man. Time and suffering have made the difference's greater and more apparent. Some call him an "Oddballn him." Invariably, when I think of Uncle Floyd, the twenty fourth Psalm comes to mind, for he is best described by these words: "He Who Hath Clean Hands and A Pure Heart; Who Hath Not Lifted Up His Soul Into Vanity, Nor Sworn Deceitfully."

She raised all but one of her 11 children to adulthood. Her oldest daughter, Adeline, stayed in Tennessee and Armelia never heard from her again. Another great sorrow came when her husband died on Aug. 3, 1844, leaving her with nine children to raise alone. Her 22 year old son, John, helped her with them. John was able to get wagons, and supplies for the family to come West, arriving in the Salt lake Valley, Oct. 2, 1849. They were the first settlers on the Spanish Fork River. They were forced to move out of their homes into a fort, which they help[ed] build. They lost many cattle and constantly feared for their lives. They then moved south to Berryville by the Sevier River. In the Fall of 1865, Robert took his wife to visit her parents and while they were in Spanish Fork the[ir?] little girl died of diphtheria. They returned to Berryville. When they were too long coming home, John and William went to meet them and found that they had been killed by the Indians three days before, April 2, 1866. They then moved to Kanarraville. Here Armelia had a home down the street from her son. She became a midwife, and had many friends. She brought many babies into the world and helped the sick. She was loved by everyone. Armelia was a widow for nine years before she died, Jan 10, 1893." 2. Kanarra's name was changed to Kanarraville when the city incorporated in 1934. The first white settlers came from Fort harmony when heavy rains washed out the fort in 1862. Several Toquerville families also relocated there, and the community was further fortified in the late 1860's by the arrival of Long Valley settlers fleeing Indian problems. As far as I can tell, it has always been part of Iron County inspite of 1880 US census showing it in Kane county. BIRTH: 1. Date and "Wilson Co., TN" per endowment record. 2.

Soon after theIr marriage an uncle of Alonzo's, who was a Mormon, converted them to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Their family happiness was short-lived, because Alonzo died in Nauvoo on Feb. 12, 1845. Henrietta received her endowments in the Nauvoo Temple, Jan 26, 1846, and was sealed to Alonzo for eternity. She also married to Newell K. Whitney for time only, on that same day. Her son Don Carlos passed away at Winter Quarters. Henrietta and her son, Samuel, came across the Plains in the A.O.

By letter from Wm. Taylor, Jr., of Ferron City, Emery County, we learn that Father Lyman Stevens of that place, one of the earlest members of the Church, passed from life on the 18th ult. He was the son of Jonathan and Olive Hoyt Stevens, and was born in Danby, Tompkins County, New York, February 7, 1812. He embraced the Gospel during the second year of the Church's existence, being baptized on the 27th of May, 1831. He was ordained an Elder on the 9th of May, 1836, his certificate to that effect, which is still in existence, bearing the signatures of Joseph Smith Jr. and F.G. Williams. Another certificate in possession of the family shows that he was ordained a High Priest, May 11, 1843. He shared in the persecutions of the Saints from the time he became connected with the Church, and after being driven out of Illinois served as a member of the 'Mormon Battalion.' For some time he lived in Shonesburg, Kane County, where his wife died in 1874.
