BIOGRAPHY:
1. Tom Kermen's email of 19 Jan 2003, Kermen@att.net, included the following letter from Wanda Hales, elderly aunt of his wife Karen Viola Hales. Wanda indicates the following information was given by Mary Ann Jensen (wife of Orval Woodruff Hales) as told to her by Jemima Ann: "Jemima Ann Adair was born March 27, 1863 at a small town called 'The Muddy' just over the Arizona line. Mother was Ann Chestnut Adair. Father was George Washington Adair. Another family by the name of Carson was at this same place at the same time. Jemima Ann's mother died at the time of her birth and the Carson family had just lost their new born baby. George Adair gave Jemima Ann to the Carson family to raise as their own. The Carson family then moved to Parowan. She always thought they were her parents until she married when she was told her real name. She married Charles Henry Hales the 29th of March 1878 just two days past her 15th birthday. They settled in Kanarra where her first boy was born. She was married in polygamy as the third wife. Two more sons were born to her at Kanarra. In 1885 they homesteaded a farm in Junction where she spent the rest of her life. A daughter, May, died in 1895 at age 6 from a typhoid epidemic. Her husband also contracted typhoid which caused complications and left him a semi-invalid. They bought a town lot and built a large hotel in 1902-1903 with the help of her boys. She had eight children including a set of twins. Charles Henry Hales was a carpenter by trade. He built a large recreation hall for the community before he built the hotel. He also made all the caskets for the burials at that time. Charles Henry Hales died in 1908 [error: should be 1907]. Jemima Ann worked hard all her life, first on the farm and later running the hotel. She died Jan. 2, 1919." [Kerry's commentary: It appears Jemima may have been with grandfather in 1870 as noted in the 1870 census as cited above; however, Valentine Carson is also still there and and has not yet moved to Parowan where he appears in 1880 census. I have no documentary proof yet that the Carson family adopted Jemima Ann but I have no reason not to believe so. What is clear is that she was not with her father George and she does end up in Parowan when she marries even though George was never there. Valentine Carson is a cousin of George Adair - see his notes for more detail in this regard. Valentine is the only Carson that is in all the right places at the right times. Additionally his daughter Hannah Marie or Mariah was stillborn either 14 May 1863 or 1 Nov 1863 in Washington, Utah according to Ancestral File - Jemima was born 27 Mar 1863 and her mother Ann Chestnut died at the same time. Perhaps the George's grief of losing his wife motivated him to give up for adoption the daughter born of that death. Jemima's older brother, George W. Adair, remained with his father.]
2. Per 25 Feb 2003 email from Harold Cahoon, local Washington, Utah, historian . From a two page biography of Mary Ellen Carson Tait printed as "Custom Made History Sheet" prepared by Bill and Elaine Rogers, 215 West 21st Street, Long Beach, CA 90906, 213-596-8213, which includes photos of Valentine, his wife Hannah, and children Mary Ellen, Eliza Jane (Ida), Rachel Emma, Alta Armedia, William Franklin, and Elizabeth Jane (noting John Thomas and Sintha Cathia are not pictured). The photo was taken probably in 1878 judging from the ages of the children. Jemima is not in the photo; considering she was married by March 1878, it is likely that she was not in the photo. Copies of this can be found in the Washington City Historical Society library and Dixie State College in southern Utah. [There are no references to Jemima Ann Adair.] Partial text follows with some [comments by me]; see Valentine Carson for full citation. Even though this is about Mary Ellen, Jemima was just a couple of years difference and their experiences may have been similar: "Mary Ellen Carson Tait, eldest child living of Valentine Carson and Hannah Wygle [Waggle] Carson, was born in Washington, Washington County, Utah, Jan. 29, 1865, in a little white adobe two-roomed house which was built by her father. He was a mason who made adobes and built many of the houses in Washington. He also helped to build the white adobe school house that stood on the public square... Her father's mother, Eliza Jane [Adair] Price was the mid-wife in Washington at that time and for many years. Mary Ellen started school in the little old schoolhouse when six or seven years old. Her first teacher was Joseph Crawford (his wife's name was Lilly), her equipment for an education was the little blue-backed speller and a slate and pencil. She remembers being at the head of her class in spelling. She was very studious and wanted to go to school. When seven years old, Mary Ellen began working in the fields with her father. He raised lucerne and molassses cane, broom corn, cotton, melons and grapes in the Washington field and at the Grape Vine Pass farm. Mary Ellen helped to cut the cane. Her father stripped it before it was cut. As he was a tall man, 6 ft., 10 in., it must have grown very tall. They hauled the cane to the big vats where it was ground, boiled and skimmed and made into molasses. It was then put into large, wooden barrels, which they had made. Each farmer made his own molasses. Mary Ellen picked cotton and grapes and helped with the hay. She remembers many happy days spent in Washington. Valentine Carson worked on the temple when it was being built in St. George, doing mason work. When the baptismal font, with the twelve iron or bronze oxen was brought to St. George, it was hauled by teams and wagons and relayed from one town to the next, each town furnishing its share of horses for the long trek. Mary Ellen remembered the exciting event, as all the school children were out to see this interesting train pass through Washington. She remembers attending Conference in the old tabernacle in St. George and hearing Elisa R. Snow talk in tongues, with Zina D. H. Young as interpreter. She remembers some of President Young's visits to St. George and hearing him speak many times, always giving timely instructions to the people. He taught the Saints there to be humble and trust in the Lord, keeping His Commandments. He told them to be industrious and to take care of everything they had. She remembered him as saying that 'willful waste brings woeful want.' In May, 1874, when Mary Ellen was in her ninth year, her parents moved to a Birch Farm 1 1/2 miles west of Kanarah. Here they lived in a long, log house with five rooms in a row. There was a well in the yard with a large wooden bucket attached to a rope, with a windlass to turn the bucket up and down. This supplied the family and animals with water. There was a nice cool cellar dug into a gravel hill which stood in front of the house They milked five or six cows, had chickens, raised good crops of hay, grain, corn and potatoes. In his garden her father raised beans, cabbage, turnips, and onions, etc. He hauled produce to the Silver Reef mine, which was northwest of Leeds in Washington County. Valentine Carson was extremely industrious, and always made good use of his time. When he wasn't working, he was reading the scriptures and other good books. Mary Ellen followed her father's good example and always found useful work to do. When her father was hauling his winter's wood to town in Kanarah, he contracted rheumatism in his right shoulder from being exposed to the cold in an early snow storm, and wasn't able to work for months. His shoulder gathered and broke, so he could do no more hard farm work. In the spring of 1878, Valentine Carson moved his family to Parowan to take a job of running the sheep for the Parowan Co-op [this would have been when Jemima married]..."
3. Mentioned in the book "Pioneer Women of Faith and Fortitude," Daughters of Utah Pioneers, p. 510, photo in article: "Hannah Waggle Carson, b. 10 Dec 1842 at Hancock Co., IL; d. 1 Apr 1929 at Parowan, Iron, UT; parents are Jacob Waggle and Mary Vancil; pioneer of 1851/1852 in the Harrison Wagon Train; m. Valentine Carson in 1862 at Nephi, Juab, UT; Valentine died 25 Sep 1898 at Parowan, Iron, UT. Children:
Mariah, 1 Nov 1862 (stillborn)
Hannah Marie, 14 May 1863 (died in infancy)
Mary Ellen, 29 Jan 1865
Elizabeth Jane, 28 Dec 1868
William Franklin, 18 Dec 1870
Alta Armedia, 9 Jun 1872
Rebecca Ann, 26 Apr 1874

John Thomas, 15 Nov 1880
Senetha Chelia, 5 Mar 1882 (died at age 1)
Sintha Cathia, 9 Mar 1883 (died in infancy)
Hannah's father died when she was two years old. Her mother married Thomas Adair. In the year of 1852, Hannah was nine years old when she came with her family across the Plains. They were in Captain Harrison's Wagon Company and passed through many hardships on the journey westward. When they reached the Salt Lake Valley, they settled at Salt Creek which is now Nephi. Then her family was called to Washington County to settle the country and this was where she met Valentine Carson. They went back to Nephi to be married and she became his second wife. Hannah's husband made his second trip across the Plains to bring Saints to the Valley which took him seven months, returning to Washington County where they lived through many hardships together. Later, when the St. George Temple was being built, Valentine and Hannah moved to St. George. Valentine did a great deal to help in building the temple. Hannah helped by cooking for the men who worked in the temple. When the temple was completed, they did work for their dead. In the year 1877, they moved with their family to Kanarra. In 1879, the moved to Parowan where they lived for several years, then they moved onto a homestead in the west part of Parowan Valley. When the World War was on, the younger women were sewing for the Red Cross and the older ladies were knitting socks. Hannah knit 36 pair of socks for the soldiers. Besides raising eleven children of her own, she helped to raise her husband's son by a first wife and also a little girl of George Adair's which she nursed and cared for as her own."
4. From the book "History of Piute County" by Linda King Newell, pp. 208-213, has the following sad story about Emma Carson, daughter of Valentine Carson. Valentine was the son of Samuel Carson and Eliza Jane Adair (daughter of Thomas Adair and Rebecca Brown). Ann Hales in the story is Jemima Ann Adair, daughter of George Washington Adair and his first wife Ann Chestnut who was adopted by Valentine and his wife when Ann Chestnut Adair died in childbirth. Jemima Ann Adair had married Charles Henry Hales. Valentine Carson first married Mary Ann Adair who died in 1861 and who George's first cousin from his uncle Thomas. Valentine's second wife was then Hannah Waggle who is mentioned in the story:
"Tragedy at Blue Springs. In 1908 the Utah Dept. of Fish and Game hired John 'Jack' D. Morrill of Junction to operate the fish hatchery at Blue Springs in Garfield County. The hatchery would help restock the fished-out waters in Piute and Garfield Counties with rainbow and eastern brook trout... One contemporary described him as 'a very intelligent man and a very religious man (who) was kind to everyone... same with his wife, Emma.' Born in Kanarraville and raised in Parowan, Emma Carson met Jack Morrill in Junction, where she had gone as a teenager to work for her adopted sister, Ann Hales, who ran a hotel. She was 18 and he 22 when they married in 1893... In 1908 Jack and Emma Morrill moved their four children to the Blue Springs fish hatchery... Although the family was often isolated by deep snows throughout much of the winter, they did have a phone that hooked them to Parowan and also to the Sevy Ranch on the Panguitch side of the mountain... Emma's widowed mother, Hannah Waggle Carson, spent seven summers at Blue Springs with the family, helping her daughter with children and meals. In those beautiful summer months they entertained visitors with a crank freezer full of homemade ice cream and 'lots of fresh fish.' The two women fed 'people by the dozen.' Emma would remember her eight years there as some of her happiest... The winter of 1915-16 turned particularly nasty and the Morrill family was snowed in at Blue Springs for most of December and January. According to one account, 14' snowdrifts piled 'almost to the eves of their porch.' By 26 Jan. the weather lifted. Eager to have news from family and friends, Jack called his brother Jim in Panguitch and asked him to bring their mail up to the Sevy Ranch the next day and he would meet him there. That night Emma wrote several letters for him to give to Jim to post, including one to her sister Rebecca, in which she expressed her uneasiness with her husband's venture. Emma watched Jack leave on horseback in a light snow at 4:00 a.m. on Tuesday morning. It was eleven miles to the Sevy Ranch, so he agreed to call her from the William Prince ranch house - vacant during the winter - at the south end of Panguitch Lake where there was a telephone. The call came at around 6:00 a.m. - it had taken him two hours to go three miles. The horse was exhausted from fighting the deep snow, so he told Emma he would leave it in the barn there. He proceeded on snowshoes down the mountain, leaving his warm outer coats strapped to his saddle. At about noon Jack reached the Sevy Ranch tired and hungry. Jim and the Sevy family greeted him warmly. They had been worried when the storm began to intensify and he had not arrived. He called Emma to tell her he had arrived safely and he would be starting back soon. At Blue Springs the storm had turned to a raging blizzard with high winds. Emma begged him to stay there until it passed. He assured her he would be alright after he had eaten and rested and that the storm wouldn't last long. He said he would call her again when he got to the Prince ranch where his horse was. As he shouldered 25 pounds of Christmas mail and packages in two packs the Sevys tried to persuade him to wait it out. Worried about his own family, and certain he would be alright, he disappeared into the tempest. This storm proved so furious that it blew out a number of large windows in Panguitch. In the mountains, four feet of new snow fell on drifts already ten to twelve feet high. An anxious Emma fought the snow and wind to the barn where she did evening chores, milking their two cows, feeding the horses and bringing in more firewood. For two days and two nights they watched and waited as the storm raged, plunging temperatures 23 degrees below zero. Emma and twelve-year-old Belle took turns around the clock cranking the telephone to try to get a message over the storm-damaged lines to someone in Parowan or at Sevy's Ranch to tell them Jack had not returned. At one point Emma turned to Belle and said, 'If you will stay with the children I believe I can put on those snowshoes and go out and find Daddy.' The youngsters 'cried and begged her not to go,' so she didn't. Finally, at Parowan, on 27 January Clara Matheson Benson at the telephone switchboard noticed a faint signal and received the news from Emma Morrill. Clara's husband, Philip Benson, began organizing a search party. At a mass meeting that evening the opinion was expressed that the storm was too dangerous to send anyone out into it; however, Fred Bruhn, John Dalton, and John C. Gould volunteered to join Benson. The searchers left at five o'clock the next morning. With the telephone lines to Panguitch down, Clara Benson and her father decided to send a telegram there for help. It had to go from Parowan to Cedar City, then through a number of other stations to San Francisco and back through Salt Lake City to Panguitch. It cost $14.75 - a hefty sum in those days. The telegram read: 'Regardless of cost of distance and rush, John Morrill missing from Blue Springs Hatchery. Must have help. 4 Parowan men already gone. - Simon A. Matheson, Clara M. Benson.' When the message arrived in Panguitch, men there also organized a search party. Finally the blizzard abated. Emma ventured outside again. Snow had drifted over the house. She and Melvin cleared a path to the barn and with an ax chopped the ice from the door. She fed the animals and milked the cows. Returning to the house, she again talked on the phone with Clara. By late afternoon the men from Parowan reached the ridge above Panguitch Lake. They could see two men carrying something toward William Prince's cabin on the west side of the lake. Frank Worthen and Ruby Syrett had found John Morrill's frozen body. He had fallen face first into the snow, just 75 feet from the Prince ranch house. The Parowan men reached the cabin a short time later as did John Gould from Panguitch. They loaded the body onto a makeshift toboggan made from a 'cheese board.' Worthen and several men from both groups took the body to Sevy's Ranch. Benson, Syrett, and another Panguitch man went on to Blue Springs, reaching the Morrill family at about 11:00 p.m. The grieving Emma welcomed them with great relief. The men prepared their supper that night an insisted that Emma and the children eat as well. When they told her they wanted to take the family out to Panguitch, she asked them to leave them there, 'she couldn't stand to think of the suffering they would have to go through to take her out,' Clara Benson wrote. The men fixed breakfast the next morning while Emma packed a few things and got the children ready to go. They found the large metal vat that had been used to prepare fish food and used it as a sleigh. It was about five-by-eight feet, with eight-inch sides. The men piled hay in the bottom, helped the grief-stricken widow and the five children climb in, and placed heated rocks in the blankets tucked around them. At first they pulled the sleigh themselves until Panguitch men with horses met them. Quantities of food sent by the people of Panguitch awaited them at the Sevy Ranch. They stayed the night, and the next morning a bobsled took them on to Panguitch, where they spent the next night. The following day, someone with an automobile, one of the few in the country, took the family on to Junction. John L. Morrill's funeral was the largest anyone could remember. People came from all over the county and from Panguitch and Parowan as well. He was buried In Junction, where Emma and the children continued to live. Morrill had sold their house and land the year before, but his father persuaded the buyers to sell it back to Emma. By the time she had regained the property and taken care of debts and bills, there was little left. Emma's mother came from Parowan to help with household chores and the children so Emma could take a job. She became the janitor for the courthouse, the school, and the church. The job included starting the fires each morning and carrying out the ashes... Belle Morrill went to work for the telephone company as an operator when she turned 15. A year later, in 1918, the telephone company rented Emma Morrill's front room for the switchboard office. Belle became head operator, and Emma and Melvin assisted her when she needed help... On 21 Jan. 1920 Emma Morrill married a widower 20 years her senior, George Davies... Davies helped raise Emma's five children, and the marriage produced two more Children... In the 1930's the couple sold their home and bought the Junction hotel on Main Street [presumably the Hales' Junction Hotel of Charles Henry and Jemima Ann Adair Hales?]... Emma ran the hotel until George died in June 1951 - just four days before his ninetieth birthday. Emma's sons took the hotel sign down after George's funeral and told their seventy-year-old mother it was time for her to stop working so hard. Emma Carson Morrill Davies lived 20 more years. She died in a Richfield rest home on 19 Feb. 1967 at age 90 and is buried in the Junction cemetery beside John Morrill and their sons LaBaron and Joe Elwood."
5. This was recently found in Aug. 2003 by Sherril Clegg who was given the following typed story from a volunteer at the Kanab, Utah City Museum who is related to Valentine Carson. It is anonymous yet clearly knowledgeable as to two related events that were not known to most of us until only very recently. It appears to have been written by a grandchild of Eliza Jane Adair (Grandmother Price) who first married Samuel Carson in Alabama then later John Price after Samuel died. Eliza was the daughter of Thomas Adair and Rebecca Brown. She had a son from a first marriage, Valentine, who lost in 1861 his first wife, Mary Ann Adair, who was his first cousin by being a daughter of Thomas Jefferson Adair, Jr., a brother to Eliza Jane Adair. Valentine remarried Hannah Waggle, a step-sister, to his first wife. Valentine and Hannah's first child was stillborn and this tells of the May 1863 birth of their evidently premature baby who died at birth. Valentine had another first cousin, George Washington Adair, who was the son of Samuel Jefferson Adair, brother to both Eliza and Thomas J. Adair, Jr. During childbirth of the second child of George and his first wife Ann Chestnut, Ann died but evidently his Aunt Eliza, the midwife was able to save the baby who was named Jemima Ann. Apparently Eliza was able to arrange for Valentine's family to raise Jemima Ann. It should be noted that even though the essence of the story is correct, the timing is off a bit since George loses his wife late March 1863 whereas Hannah loses her child in mid-May of the same year. Both lived near Washington, Utah. Apparently "Grandmother Price" had a guiding influence in both family's lives.[Kerry's note: Jemima became my ancestor thru her later marriage to Charles Henry Hales. If it had been differently, I wouldn't be here to keep sending your pesky emails.] The story:
"A Joy Realized. The scent of simmering greens floated out to Valentine Carson as he completed his evening's chores after a long hard day's labor on the new canal. As he neared the house, he was sure that something unusual was astir, as he could see his mother, Grandmother Price, bustling about. In those days of early pioneering in Dixie land, a good faithful soul like Grandmother Price was a godsend to expectant mothers. She was throughout all the Dixie County and as far out as Pioche, Nevada for her helpfulness to those in need of medical assistance. And, so now as Valentine greeted her, his worries began afresh for he knew his child to be should not arrive for at least two more months. 'Step quietly, my son,' said his mother as he came into the crudely built house. 'Hannah must rest as much as possible or she may have to meet the same disappointment as she did a year ago. I do hope she will not lose this baby as you know how she has planned for and yearns for one.' Their scant meal was eaten in silence with a prayer in their humble hearts for the little mother to be. No word was spoken, yet each knew the other's thoughts. Both knew that the angels of life and death were near. Hannah awakened suddenly calling first for her husband, then for her mother-in-law, Grandmother Price. All night they watched while the brave little woman went down into the valley of the shadows, coming back with no reward for her suffering. Death had scored another victory. Disappointed and grief stricken, she lay at times dozing to dream of the little form cuddled in her arms, awakening to find them empty, dozing again to see myriads of baby angels reaching out their tiny arms to greet yearning mothers, awakening to grasp the empty space. Oh! The longing of that mother's heart, the yearning during her waking hours for that tiny bundle nestling on her breast made hot and painful by its absence. Days dragged by and Grandmother Price received another summons. George Adair, cousin of Valentine Carson, rode over saying that his wife was very critically ill and needed the faithful mid-wife. Grandmother Price hurried away to keep watch while another little mother went down into the same valley to find another little child. But alas! This dear mother, while on her journey, battled with death who was the victor. Grandmother Price, though saddened by the death of her nephew's wife, had a song in her heart as she wrapped a tiny infant for a short journey to a new home. The ride To Washington was not far from the Adair's place, especially when she thought of the joy Hannah Carson would feel to nurse a hungry little child. The next morning a new strange light shown in Hannah's eyes as the dear old nurse made her comfortable for a new day. The longing for the joy of motherhood was partially realized at last."

2. See Biography above. I emailed Harold Cahoon , historian of Washington, Utah to find out where "The Muddy" was. His response: "The Muddy of wihci I am not an expert is south of Washington in the towns of St. Thomas, St. Joseph (now Logandale), and even as far south as Moapa. The Muddy referred to an area and not an exact location as in those that came to Washington, etc."

BURIAL:
1. Per Hales tombstone in Junction Old Cemetery [which is across the street from the New Hilltop Cemetery] apparently placed very recently [older white tombstone still exists] which reads:
Grandfather Charles Henry, Sept. 17, 1848 - Apr. 7, 1907.
Grandmother Jemima Ann Adair, Mar. 27, 1863 - Jan 2, 1919.
Children:
Ida May, Apr. 18, 1886 - June 30, 1895.
George Ammon, Aug. 24, 1879 - Oct. 31, 1897.
I also have on file a handwritten map of this cemetery where someone identified 42 names and their locations. On this list are the four individuals above and they are buried in the northeast corner. None of the other 38 names appear connected to my family history. The compiler of the information does state that the names of many others are long forgotten.
