| 2259 | Leonard Chester's parents were original Founders of Hartford, which later was made Connecticut Colony by King Charles Leonard's mother Dorothy Hooker Chester was the sister of the Rev Thomas Hooker, who led his Massachusetts bay congregation to found hartford on the Connecticut River. They were Puritans in search of more religious tolerance than available in the Massachusetts Bay Churches Biography of Leonard Chester Source: "Genealogies of the Families and Descendants of the Early Settlers of Watertown, Massachusetts, Includes Waltham and Weston" by Henry Bond, M.D., Boston, 1860. Transcribed by Janice Farnsworth Subject: Leonard Chester. Leonard Chester, came from Leicestershire, England in 1633; was an early proprietor of Watertown. He was one of the small colony that went from Watertown in 1635 to settle Wethersfield, Conn., which was at first called Watertown, Conn. There was a locality in Watertown, long known as "Chester's Meadow," and "Chester Brook," William Chester sold 13 acres of planting ground at Watertown, Mass., to William Paine, prior to 1642. Leonard Chester from Brady or Blaby, Leicestershire, England, of a very respectable lineage, came to New England in 1633 then aged about 23 or 24 years of age, and settled at Watertown, Massachusetts. Two years afterward he left Watertown, Mass., with the col-ony that first planted at Pyquag, which the named Watertown, CT. Soon after, by the Court, they renamed Wethersfield, CT. He left Watertown previous to the making out of the List of Possessions, and his name, therefore is not found in any list of proprietors. But it is recorded that one of the lots of Mr. William Paine was bought of Mr. Chester. Several circumstances, in confirmation of tradition, evince his respectable social posi-tion and that he was comparatively wealthy. His name occurs only once in Massachusetts Colonial Records, in April, 1634, and then, although so young a man, he was designated as "Mr. Chester" Although he remained at Watertown, Mass., only about two years, a con-siderable water-course (the outlet of Sherman's Pond, sometimes of late called the West Branch of Beaver Brook) was named for him, Chester Brook, Watertown, Mass. These names were long retained. In laying out the Naubuc Farms, on the east side of the Connecticut River, now in Glastenbury) previous to 1640, which was "the first tract of land in the Colony regularly surveyed and laid out into farm," Mr. Chester's allotment was the largest except for four: viz. 1. To Elder Clement Chaplin, 1,200 acres. 2. To Matthew Mitchell (father of Rev. Jonathan Mitchell of Cambridge, Mass) 900 acres. 3. To Governor George Wyllis, 480 acres. 4. To Governor Thomas Welles, 435 acres. 5. To Mr. Leonard Chester, 432 acres. The next largest was to Mr. Thurston Raynor, 330 acrs.

| 2268 | Levi Mathers Savage, was born January 11, 1851. His mother Jane died when Levi Mathers was only eleven months old. His widower father, Levi Savage Jr. was called by President Brigham Young to go on a mission to Siam when Levi Mathers was not quite two years old. While his father was on his mission, young Levi stayed with his father's sister Hannah. Hannah and her husband. Ira Eldredge. were very kind to the boy and some years later Levi Mathers stated, "she mothered me very carefully'. His record also notes: "I do not remember when my father started on his mission to Asia but I do remember well when he returned'. His father's return was in company with the Martin Handcart Company. As a young adult Levi attended school in Salt Lake City and obtained his credential as a schoolteacher. He was a very literate person and had particularly beautiful penmanship. Levi was married three times. His first wife was Marintha Wright. They were married October 6, 1874 and had three children. Unfortunately this marriage ended in divorce. His second wife was Lydia Hatch. They were married on December 24, 1879 and had six children. He subsequently took another wife, Lydia's younger sister, Hannah Adeline Hatch. Levi Mathers provided for his large family primarily as a teacher. He taught all grades and all ages for all types of pay in several cities including Coalsville and Tocqueville, Utah and Sunset, Woodruff and Taylor, Arizona. He was County superintendent of Public Schools in Kane County, Utah, in 1876, and served for two years as principal of the Snowflake Academy in Arizona. He served in some position on local school boards most of his adult life. Levi and Addie were both dedicated to the gospel. Levi served as Bishop of the United Order of Sunset (the United Order was later abandoned and became the Sunset Ward) for almost 7 years and was then called to be Bishop of Woodruff Ward for 27 years. This life-long work as Bishop was surely his great calling. In addition to his administrative responsibilities he was a powerful preacher of the truth. He spent his latter years working in the Salt Lake Temple. There was considerable difficulty with reference to the practice of plural marriage in the United States and therefore the family heeded the advice of The Brethren and moved to Old Mexico in 1885. Her first baby, Alvenia, was born in a simple dug-out in Old Mexico. Adeline's mother, Catherine, managed to send her one and a half yards of muslin from which she fashioned a beautiful frock for the baby's blessing. Mexico was full of hardships. There was an unfriendly government, a diphtheria epidemic, and an earthquake. He passed away on 15 Mar 1935. | Savage, Levi Mathers (I133309)

| 2269 | Levi Snow was born July 22, 1782 in Chesterfield, New Hampshire. He was born to Captain Zerubbabel Snow who was born August 12, 1741 in Rutland, Massachusetts, and Mary Trowbridge who was born February 25, 1745 in Worcester, Massachusetts. Levi was the eighth child of Zerubbabel and Mary Trowbridge Snow. Their were ten children in the family. Levi had six sisters and three brothers. Levi's parents lived on the boundary line of the two states. The Connecticut river became the dividing line between the two new states in the Union Levi's parents lived in Chesterfield, New Hampshire all of his growing up years. Levi met Lucina Streeter, his future wife, through Jemina Streeter, an aunt of Lucina. When introducing Lucina to Levi's mother, Jemina said, "Mary, this is a daughter of my husband's brother, William Streeter. I told her about the many books you buy for your son Levi and nothing would do but she must come to see what you have that she hasn't read." "Levi was known as the boy who would rather read than dance." Lucina stayed with her aunt Jemina so that she could attend the Academy in Chesterfield one winter so that she could have extra lessons in French. It was during this time that Levi and Lucina became real friends because of their love for reading. After accompanying Lucina home to Cumberland, Rhode Island on a months visit, Levi said to Lucina, "Oh, Lucina dearest, we grow so slowly, that years drag wearily by. You know that I love you without my speaking the words, that you are as much a part of me and I of you as if made from the same clay. So you are young and I am young, but we both know how to work, and God will help us. Would you dare marry me now and not wait any longer?" Levi married Lucina Streeter on November 29, 1801 in Chesterfield, New Hampshire. They lived in Levi's mother's home until after their first child was born, where Levi helped his brothers in the sawmill and grist mill. After Levi and Lucina had their first child, they moved first to Lunenburg but after one years lease they decided to clear some virgin land and so they settled in the St. Johnsbury, Vermont area with approximately twelve other families and here they had their remaining children while they lived there. Levi and his older sons farmed their not over fertile acres and managed a respectable, but frugal living. Levi and his sons also built their own furniture and the home they lived in. Levi and Lucina had eleven children. They were: Levi Mason who was born in 1803; Lucina who was born in August 1804; William who was born December 14, 1806; Zerubbabel who was born in March 1809; Willard Trowbridge who was born November 6, 1811; Mary Melvina who was born July 30, 1813; Shipley Wilson who was born in 1816; Erastus Fairbanks who was born November 9, 1818; Charles Van Rensselaer who was born in August 1821; Lydia Mason who was born in 1823; and Mellisa who was born August 20, 1826. In 1826 Levi and his sons finished a new barn for their farm. While Lucina and the girls where helping clean up the newly completed barn, Lucina laughingly remarked, I think, girls we should move into the new barn and let the cows and horses live in the old house." A few weeks later the Snow home burn to the ground. With the help of their neighbors most of their furniture and books for their children were saved and the new barn became their home for the rest of that summer until they were able to finish a new home late that fall. Levi was a devoted and God fearing Christian although he never belonged to any organized religious group. He did however, study the scriptures intently and encouraged this amongst his family members. The Snow family was known as "Seekers" or those who were seeking after God's truths. In 1832, while Levi's sons, Zerubbabel and William were working in Charlestown and living with their cousin, Winslow Farr they were blessed to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ from Elder Lyman Johnson and Orson Pratt. After hearing the Elder's message they returned home very excited to tell the rest of the Snow family. It was not long before Orson Pratt came to St. Johnsbury and taught the many interested families in the area in the Snow's new barn. Levi's son Erastus was 15 years old at the time and on the evening of the first meeting he asked his father, Levi if he could be baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ. Levi's reply was, "Wait awhile son. Study your Bible still more. Be sure you have been converted by the Lord and not by Elder Pratt's persuasion. Wait al least six months. Can you do that? You will have six months for your ardor to cool. If you are really converted, it won't be hard to wait that long." Erastus was baptized February 3, 1832, approximately six months later. Early in May of the same year, 1832 all the rest of the Snow family was baptized, all but Levi and his son Shipley. Some years later, Levi and the remaining children that were at home, sold their farm in Vermont and went to Kirtland to be with the saints. Levi knew that there would be no happiness for Lucina until she too could make her home among the saints. The Snow family only stayed in Kirtland for a week or so and then moved on to Far West, Missouri in order to help build the capitol of Zion. Besides they thought it would be foolish to buy land in Kirtland and then have to move again soon. Levi and Lucina suffered the persecutions that the saints endured in Far West and were included in the expulsion of the saints from Missouri. At the time the mobs came to Far West to evict the saints, Levi's son, Erastus was home visiting his family and both Levi and Erastus had the "shakers" as Levi called the chills and fever of malaria. While in this terrible condition, Levi's son, Charles came home shouting, "Oh, father, the mobocrats are camped on our pasture! I think they have butchered our cows for I couldn't see anything of them and I surely could smell meat sizzling in their camp vessels." Levi and Erastus rose from their sick beds and ran to their place with the Mormon militia. Levi's son, Erastus testified that as he ran, he prayed to be healed and his prayers were immediately answered. The chills and fever instantly left him." Levi not being a Mormon had not given up his arms to the mobs, so as he ran with his son to join the Mormon militia he being too weak to fight, handed his gun to Erastus and he grabbed a pitchfork. The mob scattered this time but Levi and his family stayed up all night to guard their place not knowing what was ahead of them. It was not long after this that the saints were forced to leave Far West. The family left Far West without selling their home which was true in most cases for the escaping saints. They were however able to sell just enough furniture to buy a team and wagon to get them across Missouri and were glad to get away with their lives. Levi took his family to Quincy, Illinois where they found safety. They arrived in Quincy having traveled 200 miles in about twelve days. Levi fought the chills and fever of malaria all across the state of Missouri which made the trip quite miserable. On arriving at Quincy, the Snow family moved on to Lima where they set up residence in a fairly comfortable house on a farm that they bargained for. Some time after this, Levi began to build a new home for Lucina. Levi had about two years to enjoy Lucina after leaving Missouri, without all the persecutions they had endured in Missouri before he passed away. Levi died on November 2, 1841 in Montrose, Lee County, Iowa. Montrose is just across the river from Nauvoo and many of the saints were in the Montrose area. Levi was 59 years old when he passed away. It was recorded through family information that he died of malaria. It was said of Levi, by his son Erastus, "Father was such a wonderful father, honest and true. He was the personification of kindness. He was way ahead of his time in his thinking." It is not known why Levi never joined the church, but what a tribute of love he has shown to Lucina, to have endured so much persecution while they lived among the saints | Snow, Levi (I121234)

| 2271 | LIFE SKETCH OF INGER MOGENSEN LEE Author Unknown Inger Mogensen Lee was born April 17, 1813, in Sterup, Jerslev Sogn, Denmark. She married Christian Nielsen Lee. He inherited a farm from his mother, who made her home with them and took charge of the place and family. It was the custom in Denmark at that time for the people to take the name of the farm or estate on which they lived, so, as the farm was the "Ligaard or Lee Farm," Lee became the family name. Inger worked in the fields during the day, and in the evening tended to the milking and the making of butter. On this farm there were two mills, one of which was run by water power and the other by the wind. One day Christian came home very happy because he had found such a good miller, who turned out to be M. P. Jensen, father of Sarah Wilde and Denmark Jensen. To Christian and Inger were born four children: Anna Marie, who married Lars Peter Christensen and spent most of her life in Richfield, Utah, Niels Peter Nielsen Lee, the second child, who lived most of his life in Huntsville and Farr West, Utah, Severin Nielsen Lee, who spent most of his life in Brigham City , Utah, and Hannah Nielsen Lee. Hannah married Hans Christian Hansen and resided in Weston, Idaho. All four children were born in Denmark. There were 56 grandchildren. Inger received the gospel when her children were quite young. She heard of the Elders and of a conference they were holding. She attended the conference and was converted at that first meeting. Her husband was not willing for her to join the Church because he said she would want to emigrate to Zion. He finally gave in when she promised not to leave him as long as he lived. He died, December 24, 1865, at the age of 47. While he never joined the Church, he believed in it and his home was open to the Elders. The reason he never joined the Church was because he was turned against the Elders as he felt they usurped too much of his authority in his home. After her husband's death, Inger sold her property - with the help of one of the Elders - and came to Utah with her two youngest children, the two older ones having emigrated before. They had more money than they needed for their own traveling expenses, so they lent the rest to help others to emigrate. They received but little of this money back. Ironically, Inger has become known as "the rich widow Lee." They settled first at Weber Valley, in 1866, through being acquainted with Lars Christensen, who they had known in Denmark. She later came to Brigham. When her daughter, Hannah, married and moved to Weston, Idaho, she went with her. Her patriarchal blessing said she could live as long as she wished. She lacked ten days of being ninety years old when she died. Her health was good most of the time. Three days before her death, she did a little dance to the music of an organ. | Mogensen, Inger Marie (I140712)

| 2272 | LIFE HISTORY SKETCH OF AMELIA THOMSEN CHRISTENSEN Written by her granddaughter, Aurilla Hansen Jensen, as it was told her from time to time, when she lived with her grandmother, while attending school. (Written December 1955). Note: Inserts of additional information taken from earlier versions of the writings of her grand-daughter, Aurilla Jensen enclosed with [ ] symbols. "Amelia Thomsen, was born 17 December 1832 in Aalbaek, Raabjaerg, Hjorring, Denmark. [She was christened 26 December 1832 in Raabjerg, sogn, Hjorring, Denmark] She was the middle child of Thomas Christensen Munk and Mette Marie Madsen. She had two sisters and two brothers: Magnus Christian Thomsen, born May 27, 1827; Daniel Peter Thomsen, born Jan 5, 1842; Ane Helvig Thomsen, born March 27, 1829, and Kirsten Marie Thomsen, born August 20, 1845; all were born in Aalbaek, Raabjaerg, Hjorring, Denmark. Amelia was the third child in the family. "She had long black hair, blue eyes and was about 5 feet 5 inches in height. Amelia attended school in Denmark. When she was 14 years old (1846), she received her confirmation into the Luthern Church. “She used to help her father drag fish to the shore with nets from the sea. Grandmother told me that she didn’t start her period until late in her teens, likely because of the cold water she was exposed to from fishing with her father. She also used to say, “My name is Ah-mile-a Munk” [This is where oral tradition carries the Munk name with her.] "When the missionaries (Apostle Erastus Snow) came to Denmark in 1850, several of the family joined the L.D.S. Church and were baptized. Amelia was baptized in April 1852, her mother was baptized 15 July 1852, her brother Daniel Peter was baptized 8 January 1856, her sister Kirsten Marie was baptized 20 Nov 1856, and her father was baptized in Sept 1857 but later left the Church. "Amelia's dearest friend was Amelia Hyrup. (The wife of William Knudsen and mother of the Knudsen brothers of Brigham City). William Knudsen and Amelia Hyrup were married and came with the first saints to Utah, in 1854. Amelia longed to go to Zion and be with her girlhood friend, Amelia Hyrup Knudsen. [Amelia Munk was unhappy because she was the only member of her family who had joined the L.D.S. Church at that time, and she longed to go to Zion, and to be with her girlfriend.] "One day a group of saints were getting ready to sail to America. One of the girls in the group (Nicoline Christensen) changed her mind, and decided not to go to America. She told Amelia that she could go in her place. Amelia hurried home and packed her clothes, returned and boarded the ship. She was out at sea before she found out that there was no passage paid for her. The decision was made to leave her in England. The thought of being left in England was too much for grandmother. She had no knowledge of the English language, so she decided to hide in the ship (likely the Westmoreland) just before it was ready to leave Liverpool. The ship was far out in the Atlantic before she was discovered. "Amelia Munk was a good “sailor”, that is, she was not seasick nearly so much as many of the other passengers, and therefore, there was plenty for her to eat during the voyage. After six weeks they landed in Philadelphia. The group then paid her train fare to Omaha. Grandmother joined the Seventh Handcart Company. The Company walked from Omaha to Salt Lake City, Utah. [She left there with the Israel Evans Handcart Company from Iowa City on May 22, 1857 with 149 souls and one wagon. She helped pull a handcart to Utah]. My grandmother Amelia Munk was with this company. "After completing this trek with the Seventh Handcart Company, my grandmother, Amelia Munk, was left sitting alone, under the bowery in Salt Lake City. Tired from a hard journey and alone in a new world. While she was sitting there a stranger came by and asked where she wanted to go she replied, “to Box Elder,” that being the name of Brigham City at that time. The stranger pointed north, and she started walking again. She walked alone from Salt Lake City to Brigham the 14th day of September 1857, stopping over night at a farm along the way. "When she arrived in Brigham she located the home of William Knudsen. She lived with her friends, William and Amelia Knudsen, and helped her friend with her family during the time she lived at their home. "In 1860 Amelia became the wife of Jens Christensen. She was 28 years of age and he was 63 at the time of their marriage. His first family was all grown. His first wife, Ane Christensen, died in 1862. Jens and Amelia had four children [who were all born in a little cabin north of the Knudson house of 1st east & 1st South in Brigham]: Anne Marie, born April 2, 1861 (my mother); James, born Jan 6 1864; Amelia, born Dec 19, 1867; and Martha, born March 6, 1870. "Jens Christensen died in 28 April 1873, when their youngest, Martha was three years of age. Grandmother was left to raise the children. My mother, Anne, went out to work for other mothers, to help them with their families to earn what money she could to help her own mother along. James was only 9 years old, so grandmother had a hard time until they were old enough to help earn their own way. They had a small farm where they grew wheat and vegetables. [They also had some cows, which she milked all the time. She would much rather work in the fields than do housework.] "Grandmother had a good singing voice, she used to sing at parties. She could also shear the sheep, card the wool, spin it into yarn, dye it, and weave it into cloth. I had a green dress made of cloth that she had made, when I was a little girl. I also had a stocking which she knit from the yarn that she had made. [She made her own candles for light...Grandmother lived in the time of the United Order and some of the Mormons did not like it very well. Grandmother said you had to stand in line and wait for some things to eat, especially meat. She said she would stand and hold a baby in her arms and wait for long as four hours. Then when Mr. Stark, the butcher waited on you, you would have to take what you got or go without.] "She could read her Bible without the aid of glasses, when she was 80 years old. Even at 80 she like to sing songs from her hymn book. She loved the gospel and knew it was true. [One day she came up from the barn and sat on the kitchen table in sort of a daze. She said her oldest sister, Ane Helvig came to her in a vision. She was wearing a white dress and her long red hair done in braids. Grandmother felt that she should be baptized for this sister and that was the reason she appeared to her in this vision. She went to the Temple and had this work done.] Her faith was steady even to the last. She died 28 November 1914, at the age of 82. She died at her home located at 202 South 1st West in Brigham City, Utah. [She was buried in the Brigham Cemetery in her son James' plot.] "Other members of her family also joined the church and came to Utah. Her brother Daniel Peter Thomsen, after the death of her father in 1914 in Aalbaek, her mother and her sister, Kirsten Marie emigrated to Utah. Both her mother and sister died in Brigham City and were buried there." | Thomsen, Amelia (I140862)

| 2273 | Life Sketch by G.E. (Includes points of view not shared by all family members, and facts not supported by LDS Church Records. Would be more appropriate in the Memories section) Sylvia was born on July 31, 1818 in Newry, Oxford, Maine to her parents David and Patty Bartlett Sessions. Sylvia was the third child born to the family of eight children, only three children in the family survived the dreadful circumstances and childhood disease’s, and of whom grew to adulthood. They were Perrigrine, Sylvia and David. Four of the eight children were buried in Maine, Sylvanus, Anna, Anna B. and Bartlett. Perrigrine writes in his journal how Sylvia mourned and wept over the death of her only two sisters. The dreaded Colery Morbus beset the family in 1823 and claimed the lives of several family members. Amanda was born later and died in Far West, Missouri. In 1833, when Sylvia was fifteen years old, an event of such significance for the Sessions family occurred, that it cancelled any prospects of their living and dying near their birthplace and the burial plots of their loved ones. In August of 1833, Mormon missionaries came preaching. The message they brought altered the lives of the Sessions family dramatically and permanently. The family left Maine for the arduous journey to Far West, Missouri arriving there in 1837, having traveled by land and water, by self made trails, and by well used roads. They had been delayed in Kirtland, Ohio, for seven weeks while family members suffered through the measles. It was in Kirtland that they saw the Prophet Joseph Smith for the first time as he spoke at the Kirtland Temple. With customary diligence, the Sessions family wasted no time getting established once they reached Missouri. They bought property in Far West, including two blockhouses and five acres of fenced land. During the winter they fenced 100 more acres. Sylvia married Windsor P. Lyon in 1838 and the Prophet Joseph Smith preformed their marriage ceremony. Six children were born to Sylvia while she was married to Mr. Lyon, all of the children died in early childhood except for one daughter, Josephine Rosetta. Family member’s record, that Sylvia was sealed to the Prophet Joseph Smith at the time Windsor Lyon was out of the Church and it is said that Josephine Rosetta Lyon was Joseph Smith’s child. Daniel W. Bachman quotes from 24 Feb. 1915 affidavit sworn by Josephine Lyon Fisher in the presence of Andrew Jensen, Joseph H. Grant and her son, Ivin Fredrich Fisher. Josephine states that her mother Sylvia on her deathbed “told me that I was the daughter of the Prophet Joseph Smith, she having been sealed to the Prophet at the time her husband Mr. Lyons was out of fellowship with the Church.” Sylvia confided in her daughter, Josephine, that the ceremony had taken place at about the same time as Zina D. Huntington and Eliza R. Snow were sealed to the prophet as plural wives. Nauvoo Temple endowment dates are available, but sealing dates for Joseph Smith are not in the Nauvoo Temple records for 1845 and 1846. A personal history of Sylvia written by one of her descendants reports that Sylvia was sealed to Joseph Smith on January 26, 1846, long after the martyrdom. Heber C. Kimball stood as proxy. This is the date she reportedly also married Kimball for time. According to Stanley Kimball, Sylvia Sessions had become a plural wife to Heber C. Kimball on January 26, 1846 nothing indicates that they ever lived together. Despite the fact that Patty, grandmother to Josephine, wrote nothing in her diary linking Sylvia and Joseph Smith, evidently she believed that Josephine was the prophet’s daughter. (This information is taken from Patty Bartlett Sessions published diary). Family tradition records that during the administration of Wilford Woodruff Sylvia had the sealing to Joseph Smith canceled and was sealed to Windsor P. Lyon. According to tradition, Windsor was excommunicated for suing Thomas B. Marsh for an unpaid loan. This was in 1942, according to church records. Heber C. Kimball re-baptized Lyon in his own kitchen in Nauvoo on February 1, 1946. Mr. Lyons died in Iowa City in 1849 and Sylvia remarried Ezekiel Clark on January 1, 1950. Mr. Clark was a successful businessman, banker, and state legislator. They were married in Iowa City and had three children, Perry, Phoebe, and Martha. Sylvia lived comfortable in her new situation but never gave up the desire to go west to her family. When her youngest daughter Martha was three months old she made the trip to the Salt Lake Valley with her brother Perrigrine. Perigrine stopped in Iowa City on his way home from his mission to England. Mr. Clark was not a member of the Church and would not come himself but outfitted Sylvia in the best possible manner to make the journey west. He always provided for them generously and corresponded frequently with Sylvia and the children. After arriving in the Valley, Sylvia lived close to her mother and other family members. She raised her children in the Salt Lake area. When Perry, her eldest son by Mr. Clark, was nine years old she kept her promise to Mr. Clark and sent Perry back to his father so he could obtain a good education. Sylvia and her daughter Josephine were re-baptized on Sunday, September 10, 1854. Sylvia’s daughter, Josephine married John Fisher on August 15, 1863 at the age of 19 and John was 21. On Wednesday, September 1, 1864 Josephine delivered twin boys (Irvin Frederick and Ivan John) one was born at 6:00 p.m. and the other at 3:00 a.m. In 1884, Josephine’s husband, John Fisher, took a second wife, Harriet Kinghton; they were married on February 2nd in Bountiful. Josephine’s husband died in 1905 at the age of sixty-three and Josephine died at the age of eighty in 1924. On June 26, 1858, when the Johnston’s Army under the command of General Albert Johnston, entered the Valley of Salt Lake, early in the morning, they marched through the deserted city to camp on the west bank of the Jordan River. The saints deserted the city going various places; the Session family went to Lehi. An article in the ‘Atlantic Monthly’ described, “All day long, from dawn to after sunset, the troops and trains poured through the city, the utter silence of the streets being broken only by the music of the military bands, the monotonous tramp of the regiments, and the rattle of the baggage wagons.” In the succeeding days the army moved south along the Jordan to west of Cedar Valley, where they established Camp Floyd, remaining there until ordered back east at the outbreak of the Civil War. Phoebe Jane Clark married John Henry Ellis on January 31, 1870 and their first child John Perry died. Their second child a daughter, Isabelle Jane was born on February 27, 1873. Phoebe Jane and John Henry had a total of 12 children, most of which were delivered by Phoebe’s Grandmother, Patty Sessions. Sylvia died in 1882 in Bountiful, Utah at the age of sixty-four. She was buried in Bountiful, Utah. ________________ Daughter of David Sessions and Patty Bartlett Married Windsor Palmer Lyon, Mar 1838, Orwell, Addison, Vermont.

He died 23 Jun 1898, Iowa City, Johnson, Iowa. Children - Perry Ezekial Clark, Phebe Jane Clark, Martha Sylvia Clark History - Sylvia Sessions left Maine for Zion (Missouri) with her parents, Patty and David, in June of 1837. While in Missouri, Sylvia met and married Windsor Lyon. Sylvia's Mother, Patty, wrote about the wedding in her journal, "Sylvia was married to Windsor P. Lyon, Joseph Smith performed the ceremony... The next day the Prophet was there and a good time it was." Sylvia, and husband Windsor, left Missouri for Nauvoo in February of 1839. There, Windsor established a mercantile business, selling "Dry Goods, Groceries, Crockery, Glass, and Hardware, Drugs, and Medicines, Paints and Dry Stuffs." By this time, they were the parents of two children. Sylvia married Joseph Smith on February 8, 1842, when she was 23 years old. It is uncertain if her husband, Windsor, was aware of the marriage, but she did continue to live with him. Brigham Young taught that "if the woman preferred a man higher in authority, and he is willing to take her and her husband gives her up-there is no Bill of divorce required...it is right in the sight of God". Brigham also explained that the woman, "...would be in a higher glory". This may help shed light on Sylvia's complex marriage arrangement. 10 months later, on December 24th, Joseph's journal mentions a visit to his wife, Sylvia, who was giving birth to her third child: "Walked with Secretary Willard Richards] to see Sister Lyons who was sick. Her baby died 30 minutes before [we] arrived". Sylvia had lost two of her three children in death. On September 18, 1843, another of Joseph's visits to Sylvia is recorded by William Clayton, "Joseph and I rode out to borrow money, drank wine at Sister Lyons P.M. I got $50 of Sister Lyons and paid it to D. D. Yearsly." On January 27, 1844 her only surviving child, Philofreen, also died. | Sessions, Sylvia Porter (I113085)

| 2274 | Life Sketch of Flora Cecelia Jensen Brighton Flora Cecelia Jensen was born on Jan. 18, 1920 to Alma and Emma Jensen. The Doctor drove his car over the frozen snowdrifts to come to Ucon for the delivery. She weighted a little over 8 pounds and had a lot of dark hair. Her mother and father called her their dollie. Three years later her sister, Arda, was born on September 12, 1923. They loved each other and did the things sisters do. There was sagebrush left along the fence lines of their farm and as spring came, Flora and Arda would go for walks, hunting the first buttercups and wild, pink sweet- williams. Their mother had little bouquets of them all spring on the kitchen cupboard. There was no heat in their bedroom. In the winter they were covered with so many quilts it was hard to turn over. The nail heads in the walls had frost on them most of the winter. Many mornings the quilts were frozen where they breathed on them through the night. As a family they took trips to central Utah to visit relatives. They road the train or traveled in car. The roads were all dirt with no road signs. They traveled many hours to get to Downey, Idaho by the first night. They could only travel in the daylight because the car lights were so poor. The winter she started school, her father was called on a six month mission to Kansas. At Christmas time, Flora and Arda got the measles. They were very sick. Aunt Mariah Jensen and Sister Robinson came to rub their feet to make them feel better. Flora learned how to work from her parents. Her mother was a wonderful homemaker and cook. She helped her father with the horses. They had a pretty brown horse that they called Brownie. In the fall, when they were digging potatoes to get the horse warmed up, Flora would drive Brownie up and down the fields scattering potato sacks. They did this so that Brownie wouldn’t bock when they put her on to pull the digger. Brownie would stand very still until Flora got on her, then she would stand in one place and jump up and down until she fell off. Then Brownie would stand still again and they repeated this performance several times. Flora learned to play the piano and flute. She played special musical numbers whenever she was asked. In high school she was in a special girl’s choir. The uniforms were gold satin blouses and black satin skirts with a gold rope belt. During her sophomore year, she spent a lot of time in room 10 at school during lunch. She had a Mickey mouse watch and Bill Brighton spent a lot of time fixing for her. Later, Flora admitted that every night she would take the watch apart and readjust it so he could fix it again the next day. They dated for the next four years. They went to the Senior Ball--even though Bill’s foot was broken and he couldn’t dance. Bill attended ISU while Flora finished her high school. Then she attended Ricks academy while he finished up at ISU and got his teaching certificate. They were married August 23, 1939 in the Salt Lake Temple. They moved to Edmonds, Idaho where they lived across the street from the school. He signed a teaching contract for $830 a year. They had no car and had to walk 4 miles to the store for groceries. After teaching for 3 years, they could see that there was not enough money in it to raise a family and they bought a farm in Milo. They moved to Milo in the spring of 1942 about one week before World War II was declared. Because Bill was a farmer, he was frozen to the farm and couldn’t be drafted. Sharel was born Nov. 28, 1942. They had waited for 4 years for a baby and they were very pleased at her arrival. Flora stayed in the hospital 10 days and the final bill was $45. J was born Feb. 15, 1945,the day after Grandma Brighton’s birthday. It was a cold morning and when Bill went to go home the wheels of the car were frozen and wouldn’t go around for awhile. Ilene was born June 2, 1947. Flora had been quite sick with this pregnancy. The baby was born breach. When she was born the nurse said, “She’s black, but she’ll breath.” And she did. Annette was born June 4, 1951. J was sure he was getting a brother. When Bill brought the kids to the hospital to bring their mother home, Flora asked J if they should take her back. He said no, he’d keep her. LaRee was late in coming. They expected her in the middle of December. All the other ladies in the primary who were expecting had already had their babies. But LaRee came Feb. 4 1953. She was blessed the same day as J was confirmed. They were the last ones to have this done in the old Milo church. In the fall of 1957, Dad had a major heart attack and life completely changed for them. They sold their milk cows, rented the farm, and Dad started working at Arnold Machinery Co. To make ends meet, they kept a few cows and soon they were milking 10-15 cows. Mom would always start milking before he got home from work. She did everything she could think of to lighten his load. The work on the farm was not a burden, it was a family project. Mom made everything an adventure. We had picnics in the field, so we could have lunch with Dad. J took over a lot of the farm responsibilities and we all helped with the chores. He got pretty good at putting up with his sisters for his hired help. We put up the hay and combined the grain. When J went on his mission Teron Cox rented most of the farm. The part that was left became the girls project. With Mom and Dad’s help we girls loaded hay and changed the water. Somehow we managed until J got home and could do it right again. Mom took great pride in making the things around her pretty. It was very important to her that her girls hair was curled and that we wore the latest styles to school. She was a very good seamstress and we all had new dresses to start school, for Christmas, and for Easter. Mom gave us all piano lessons. She wanted all her girls to learn to play the hymns. She taught us to embroidery and crochet. It was important to her that we did not waste time. There were many hours spent out in the pasture under the shade tree embroidering pillow cases while we watched the cows so they didn’t get out of the fence and into the hay crop. We grew a wonderful garden. The children could earn money by hoeing the rows. We got $.10 a row. If that was not enough pay, we could hoe the row for nothing. We also could earn money by digging up burdocks. If we got enough of the root, she would pay us one penny for every ten burdocks or one hundred burdocks for a dime. Aunt Arda had us come to her place and get apples. Grandma Jensen, Mom and Aunt Arda would peel the apples and bottle hundreds of bottles of applesauce each year. We canned all kinds of fruit and vegetables every summer. Mom believed that fresh air and sunshine was good for growing children. In the winter, we would bundle up in so many coats, scarves, and mittens that we could hardly walk and make a snowman. We loved it when Dad would get out the tractor and pull our sleighs up and down the road. Flora took delight in making her house a home. One of her greatest loves was the beauty of nature. She grew many kinds of flower inside and outside of her home. One of her favorites was African Violets. She gave starts of plants to many people in the ward. She was famous for her beautiful peonies. When the Milo church was dedicated, they used bouquets of her white peonies on the pulpit. Her life was filled with service. Service to her family and service in the church. She held many callings throughout her life. Many of them carried with them great responsibilities. She worked in both the stake relief society and the stake primary. It seemed that every summer she was in charge of making a float for the 24th of July or writing a program for this or that. One of the favorite things she did was write new words to music to fit a program. She wrote the words of “Come to Primary” from a popular song, “The Little Blue Man.” She sang with the singing mothers, and she was a wonderful teacher. It was hard for her to get in front of people to give a lesson. She spent a lot of time preparing for her lessons. I don’t think anyone in her class knew how hard it was for Mom to give those lessons, because she always did such a good job. She loved teaching the laurels and Mia Maids. When she was in charge of a program she watched all the details that made everything extra special. She took the time to have special teaching moments with her children. We would walk together to go get the cows. This was a good time to find out how our day was at school and what was happening in our lives. We had many choice experiences as a family. Mom and Dad felt like we should work and play together. Every year we went on a nice vacation. We all went and many times we took grandma Jensen with us. We went to Mount Rushmore, Disneyland, California and to Seattle to visit Uncle George’s family and Uncle Stayner’s family. All of her children have been through the temple. When the grandchildren came, she was a wonderful grandmother. She was always available to tend her grandchildren. They have special memories of grandma’s macaroni and cheese with cookies from the freezer for desert. Her house was filled with homemade bread and raspberry jam, wonderful books, fun music, and fascinating toys. And there was that special candy dish that was available to you as you left to go home. In her later years, her life was filled with more gardening and service. Mom and Dad were called as temple workers in 1983. They looked forward to their 4:30 A.M. prayer meeting. They really enjoyed working with the sweet people in the temple. Mom developed her many talents through service. She wrote poetry and programs for nearly every occasion. She served her family her entire life. She made an embroidered quilt for each of her granddaughters and a patch work quilt for e | Jensen, Flora Cecelia (I79452)

| 2275 | LIFE SKETCH OF LAURA SOPHIA SORENSEN JENSEN Written by Gwendolyn Jensen Butler Laura Sophia Sorensen was born 22 October 1885, in Melville, Utah, (near Logan). The third child in a family of twelve children to Hans Sorensen and Christiane Sophie Gregersen, who had joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints with their families and left their native Denmark as young people to come to Utah. At her death, the first of January, 1981 two of this family survives Laura; a brother, Melvin Sorensen of Logan, Utah and a sister, Amanda Hilliard of Smithfield, Utah. In a life of 95 active years, there are many years unknown to those who have known her for as many as fifty or sixty years. At an age when many people retire, she still had thirty years of industrious life ahead of her. One phrase describes her well: “She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.” Proverbs 31:27 the philosophy which this proverb suggests runs like a thread throughout her life. She enjoyed living and doing the work necessary to that life. For a short time, Laura was a young girl, living in a log house with whitewashed log walls and bare wooden floors scrubbed weekly; a young girl running across the plank, over the canal to Uncle Lars’(Sorensen) home to play with cousins; running over to Jensen’s, the nearest neighbor, to get some gooseberries or currants to eat; running down the ditch that carried water from a large spring, to be baptized when eight years old, then walking home in her wet clothes, (5 November 1893). A young girl hauling wood, coal, and water, and later hauling out water, and ashes, blacking and shining the wood stove, getting almost as much black on herself as on the stove, milking two or three cows before and after school, and washing clothes on a wash-board with homemade soap. A young girl winning the battle against diphtheria (Summer 1893), which took the lives of her sister Emma and little brother Willie, eating “lumpy dick” a breakfast “mush” made or cooking flour in milk; being glad when whole wheat was available instead; wearing stiff scratchy clothing made from linsey, a mixture of wool and cotton. All too soon she was a young woman, leaving school at about sixteen to stay and help her mother at home, to return at 18 to finish, not just eight grade, which was considered a good education at that time, but going on to Brigham College in Logan for four years, to graduated (28 May 1909) and earn a teaching certificate. A young woman working for her board and room so she could finish eighth grade, working in a boarding house one summer, getting up at 5:30 a.m. to fix breakfast, cleaning rooms and working until 9:00 or 10:00 p.m. for $3.50 per week: earning 75 cents a day topping beets: teaching grades one through four, for a salary of $45 a month. A young woman dancing at dances with a waltz to start, one at the intermission, and one to close. The rest were schottische, square dance, and polkas. A young woman, Joe Jensen had been courting for two years (or all their lives for that matter). He waited a year for her to teach school, then on 15 June 1910, Laura Sophia Sorensen and Joseph Edward Jensen were married for time and eternity in the Logan Temple. Now a young wife, sharing with her husband the joy when their home was blessed with children; first six boys, Joseph Doyle 19 June 1911, Lloyd Edward 10 April 1913, Glen Carrol 7 April 1915, Elmer Ray 24 December 1917, Leo Merrill 14 March 1920, and Vaughn Lewis 3 September 1922; then three girls, LaVir 24 April 1925, May 10 April 1928, and Marjorie 19 December 1931, were born to them. Sharing the sorrow when Glen Carrol suffering from lung congestion died two days after birth, and May was stillborn. A young wife, rearing, teaching, and enjoying the remaining five sons and two daughters; watching them grow, develop, and establish homes and families of their own, and live to survive their parents, giving them posterity at the time of her death of 36 grandchildren, 69 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. A young mother leaving Logan Utah, area of her birth, leaving comparative comfort. Struggling to pioneer a newer settlement in Lost River, Idaho in 1914 living in a poorly built log houses, sometimes only a dirt roof, sometimes walls improved with a pressed paper wall lining called “beaver board”, moving into the home that Joe built in 1918, being happy to get a “real” house, and enjoying that home for more than 60 years. A farm wife, raising baby chicks in a small box with a lantern, washing the cream separator which took more time than washing dishes, selling the cream to the store which was better than making butter, teaching her children to eat bread when they ate fruit, because fruit was hard to come by, and feeding grandchildren a “piece” (usually a slice of bread and butter) before they left her home. Her bread drawer never seemed to be empty. A woman helping others, serving children as a Stake Primary Counselor (29 April 1923 and again in 1930 for several years) and Primary President (27 April 1924-1927) and as a 4-H leader, serving sisters as a Ward Relief Society President (20 April 1941 for three and one-half years) and a Stake Relief Society Counselor, serving young people in Mutual, caring for her aged mother, and delivering the infant grand-daughter that would bear her name. Always, a woman growing, creating beauty in necessity, sewing rags to make a home-made carpet to cover bare floors in her first home, planting flowers to border the vegetable garden which would feed her family, sharing starts of these flowers to enrich other gardens, piecing star quilts with memories of the dresses she and her daughters wore, making plump pillows with the feathers and down from the geese that waddled outside her yard, and preserving the sunshine of summer fruits and vegetables for winter meals. Laura Jensen left a heritage of provident living, persistence, determination, industry, and endurance; with a lifetime zest for learning and doing. She won the fight with breast cancer 19 years ago, facing the ordeal just three months after losing her husband and life-long companion, Joseph Edward Jensen on 5 December 1961. Taking her first airplane flight just two weeks before her 92 birthday, she refused the offer of a wheelchair to take her between terminals with a “No thanks that would make me look old.” As she returned to finish her education in her youth, so she continued to study and learn from recorded books when her eyesight grew dim. In her 95th year she was still carrying many of her lifelong activities. Rags were still being made into useful and decorative rugs. In July when someone gave her more cherries than she could eat, she bottled the rest for winter. In august while visiting and shelling peas, she was the fasted pea sheller, even faster than granddaughters with young nimble fingers. She wanted to be in her own home taking care of herself on her 95th birthday, 22 October 1980. She made it. And on that day she still wanted to do one more bucketful of apples before her harvesting was finished. At the time she had her stroke four weeks ago, she was cutting quilt blocks. She prepared herself for death by preparing for life. When she wasn’t strong enough last spring to work in her garden, she exercised, and last fall, by digging sitting on a chair, she prepared a part of her garden for spring planting. We can all profit buy an observation she made in her life story, “When I hear people complaining now,” she said, “if they would try half as hard as we did, they would get along fine. I hope that each of us can try half as hard, that we can follow this example of victory and never quitting until there is no possibility for us to do otherwise. I do this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen | Sorensen, Laura Sophia (I88639)

| 2276 | LIFE SKETCH OF LIONEL B. Farr dictated to Joan B. Farr When a lad. Lionel greatly desired to learn how to swim. One day when no one was around he paddled out to the middle of the swimming hole on a board. When he got about in the middle he gave the board a push thus having to swim back to save himself. When about twelve years old he was visiting a cousin Lamar Farr on their farm. The farm was from 16th street to 12th street (not 16th, but canyon road) approximately 2000 ft. This farm ran north and south. On the north side a millstream ran past the farm. The stream bank was very high and steep, and in the spring of the year the water was very swift and quite deep. One spring day Lionel and Lamar decided to go fishing. They fixed themselves some little poles. Lionel's was shorter than Lamar's. While they were fishing Lionel's hook got caught on a willow and he stepped close to the edge of the bank trying to pull the willow and the hook close enough to reach it. There was snow on the ground at the time and it had melted and the footing was rather insecure. Suddenly he slipped down the steep bank into the stream. As he slipped, he caught hold of some of the willows at the edge of the stream and hung on. The water was too deep to touch bottom and it was very swift so he was unable to get himself out. Lamar started to run back to the house for help. The house was on the South end of the farm and only Lamar's mother was home at the time. As he crossed an irrigation ditch half way to the house he met his mother running rapidly toward the mill stream in her stocking feet. She didn't even ask him any questions. She just kept running. She arrived at the mill stream, lay down on the bank, and reached down to Lionel to got bold of him just as the willows were about to be washed out. She pulled Lionel out. Later she went over to Lionel’s home and told his mother about it. She said she was working in her kitchen when she heard a voice plainly say “the boys are in trouble”. She was wearing house slippers at the time, but she ran out with these on, not taking time to change. On her way down to the stream, these were pulled off by the snow and the mud, which accounts for her running in her stocking feet. Lionel said: "If my cousin would have had to go all the way to the house to notify his mother, I would have been gone down stream by the time Lamar's mother had arrived." While Lionel was attending Weber Academy, he often didn't get home before five o'clock in the afternoon. One day in the wintertime, when it was very cold, he arrived home late and he was quite chilled. His sister Beatrice had a girl friend with her, and they accidentally broke a window while playing around, It was too late to get another one in that day, so it was difficult to keep the house warm and Lionel was unable to get warm. Although his mother piled on blankets and quilts, he didn't get warm all night. In the morning he got up still chilled, and started out for school. He intended to take the streetcar but decided to walk. When he was about three blocks from his house, he felt like he was going to fall down, so he retraced his steps back home and went to bed. It turned out that he had pneumonia (a very severe case). He had always been raised with the idea that whenever he was sick he would ask his father to administer to him and he always got well. Up until the afternoon of that day he had no idea that he was very sick but towards afternoon his lungs began to feel very tight and he began to have great difficulty breathing. His breath began to come in short gasps. He felt like someone had a grip on his lungs and was gradually tightening them and he felt like he wouldn't have very long to continue breathing. His mother became alarmed and since there was no telephone available, she sent Lionel's younger brother Lorin to get their father who was at work, probably a mile and a half away. He hadn't been gone but a short time when it looked like Lionel's end had come. His mother knelt down by the bed and prayed for him. She hadn't quite finished praying when he felt as if the grip that had been on his lung suddenly let go and he breathed freely. His father came home later and administered to him. He had no further treatments except the administration and although his lungs bled for two weeks afterwards, he had no further difficulty breathing. He shortly recovered completely without any trace or ill effects. In those days such a severe case of pneumonia was nearly always fatal under ordinary treatment. Lionel was born in Ogden, Utah at 561 Canyon Road, Nov. 28 1888, in a four roomed brick house, with a pantry, a bathroom, and a framed summer kitchen built on the end. He was the third child with two brothers and two sisters. His sister Josephine Lundwall was the oldest, Marcus Ballantyne was the next, then Lionel Ballantyne, then Beatrice Albertine and then Lorin Ballantyne. Lionel was educated in Mound Fort public school until he was in the seventh grade. Shortly after the start of the school term his seventh year, he had a very unpleasant experience with the principal who was a very hot tempered person. This principal had been in many difficulties with his pupils and to his detriment. He had been switched from one school to another. His name was Ames. The pupils were required to march out four abreast whenever they left the building for recess or otherwise. The boys were supposed to hold their hats on their left shoulder (the front.) If any of the boys failed to do this the principal who was nearby watching, would jerk out the entire line. On one particular day, one of the boys failed to have his hat where it, was required. It was one of the boys in Lionel's line. The principal jerked the entire line out. After they had all marched out, the principal proceeded to give them a lecture. Since Lionel had been complying with the rules, he told the principal that he had. Thereupon the principal struck him first on one side of the head and then on the other with such a force that he was knocked unconscious. By the time he regained consciousness he was alone. When he got home, he told his mother he wouldn't go back to school again. She told him he had to go somewhere to school in order to comply with the law. The Weber Academy had an eighth grade and Brother David 0, McKay was principal. He asked his mother to go to Brother McKay and get him admitted to "Weber Academy. He told her that he realized that he would be skipping a grade, and that the year was already started, and that he would have to catch up with the other students. But he was certain that he could do it. She talked to Brother McKay and he allowed. Lionel to enter the Academy. When Lionel graduated in 1907 from the fourth year of High School, Lionel was told by the school officials that he had the highest average of anyone up to that time of the school. Lionel told of an experience where he came home from a dance and went to do his chores without changing his shoes. He stepped on a long nail poking out of a board, and it went right through his thin soled dancing shoes. He said his mother pored consecrated oil in the nail wound and his father gave him a blessing. They were, afraid lock jaw would set in, but even though the wound was sore and became infected, the wound was healed, He met Eleanor Miller at a dance at Lagoon, and they were married 11 Sept 1915 in the Salt Lake Temple. After they were married, they lived in Farmington Ogden, and Washington, D.C. In Dec. 1928, he resigned from the Browning Company, the Lion Coal Company, and Lindly (Lindsy?) Land and Livestock Company of which he was Assistant Secretary and Treasurer, to go back to Washington D. C. and further his Education. There he got his B.C.S. and C.P.A degrees. He purchased an interest in an accounting partnership which was called Snyder, Farr and Company. This was about in April 1930. He continued active in this business until Sept. 1949 when he retired from active practice on account of cataracts on his eyes. He felt he didn't have enough education. He had in mind to get a law degree. In order to do this he was required to get a pre legal certificate which required 60 credits in certain subjects including a certain amount in French. He was just about ready to take the final examination at the end of Jan, 1933, when he was stricken with Lobar Pneumonia. He was unable to take the examination so failed the semester (failing to get the needed French although he already had sixty three hours He was so sick that he required a day and night nurse for five weeks. Brother Edgar Brossard and Brother Don B. Colton administered to him and he recovered fully. It was at least six months until he was considered back to normal. The Dr. told him he had a weak valve in his heart and told him to go slow up and down stairs etc., and it would heal up. For about six weeks he was unsteady on his feet, but by July 1933 the Dr. said his heart was alright and he could step on the gas. He had been going to the gymnasium to play handball before he took sick and now he could resume it again. At this point in his life, about Feb. 1930, as he was recovering from pneumonia, he took up some private lessons in Public Speaking from Miss Hester Walker Redd, who was also a hostess at WRC (NBC) radio station. He got the idea that maybe he could get singing on the radio. So she arranged an audition with a Mr. Alden. Mr. Alden said his voice had a good quality but wasn't on pitch up around G and that while he might be good in chorus, he was no good as a soloist. So he decided that if that was the only thing wrong, he would correct it. He planned to take singing lessons. At this point, it was the turning of the road, and he had to make a choice. He had thought of being a lawyer, because he enjoyed this kind of work very much. He enjoyed it much better than the accounting business. He knew that to be successful in t | Farr, Lionel Ballantyne (I92079)

| 2277 | Life Sketch of Monroe Bird Tew By Della Tew Stander Read at his funeral by Eugene R Fallentine, son-in-law May 7, 1970 Daddy grew up as a child in a family of seven children in Mapleton, Utah. His heritage was great in both lineage and love of the Gospel. This he was proud of, and grateful to pass on to his posterity. His mother said of him in his childhood, “he was a good boy-never any problem. He had a sweet voice and would sing while playing by himself.” One song in particular was “Green gravel, green gravel, how green the grass grows.” This song with many others was passed on also to his children. When he was in first or second grade, he got wet while playing marbles. That night he went to his Grandma Snow’s to sleep and came down with pneumonia. He was very ill for some time and was restored by the Priesthood and faithful care of his mother and others. When he was quite small he fell from a horse when it turned quickly in the opposite direction. When someone ran to pick him up, he jumped up himself and said, “It didn’t hoit.” He was, as his mother said, a good boy, and never brought his parents grief. Later in his high school years, he had to be operated on for appendicitis-which at that time was quite serious, especially with the complications which Daddy had. Daddy was virtuous and clean-living in his youth. This was reflected in his love for athletics and sports of all kinds. He dearly loved to play basketball, and proved to be excellent in his performance. He loved to wrestle and held his own with men much larger than himself. From his personal history we read of a third love in sports. “In 1915 I went to Beaver Academy. I took second down there in shot-put, then that spring at the County track meet I took first in the shot-put, second in Hammer throw and third in the Discus Throw. Then I went to Salt Lake and took second in the shot-put for the State of Utah.” When Mama talks about their courtship, she says: About the first of April 1913 I went to my first dance in Mapleton, with my cousin, Sam Sanderson. I met all the young fellows and danced with several. One I remember was Bird Tew. I asked him how to spell his name and he said T-E -W. then he curled his tongue over the corner of his upper lip. I noticed his real blue eyes, and curly brown hair. He was 20 minus 2 or 3 weeks, and I was 18 ½. My cousin, Sam, smoked...and most of the fellows did but Bird was different.” They shared many varied experiences as their schooling and courtship progressed. One, was singing in the Mapleton Ward choir. They were to put on a concert and a prize was given to whoever sold the most tickets. Daddy won the prize, which was a leather-back songbook of the Songs of Zion. This he treasured throughout his life. Another part of Daddy’s life which he valued highly, was his participation in the band, both in Mapleton, and B.Y.U. He loved the trumpet and played in the orchestra for years. Later, as we children grew up, he would play it in our family home evenings, until he could no longer see the music and the loss of his top teeth made it impossible to form the pressure for sound. This love of band music remained with him, and he was desirous that all his children should learn to play an instrument, which we did. This brought many happy hours in our home as we played together each with a different horn. Mamma and Daddy were married on the 3rd of November, 1915 in the Salt Lake Temple. After just one week of marriage, Daddy let for a mission to the Eastern Sates, and this was the beginning of his love for missionary work. Although his efforts were cut short because of ill health, he cultivated within his children a love of missionary work and later six of them were called to missions of their own - four being out at one time. He was proud of us. He returned from his mission Christmas day, 1916, and in February they moved to Lead Belt Mine in Antelope Canyon. The weather was severe, and on April 6th, they day war was declared with Germany, Mamma and Dad dy moved to Leslie. They lived first in the old Furey place, which in its earlier days had been the station for stages and freight wagons, and the first post office for Leslie. Life was not easy, and with still not the best of health, Daddy struggled to make a living. Like a lot of others Daddy lost his farm and machinery but UNLIKE so many others he stayed in the valley; and little by little recaptured sufficient for a living. This struggle gave him a love of the valley and people that few other possess. He became acquainted with most of the canyons and history of the valley, and at the time of his death could be called one of its few remaining pioneers. This struggle also developed within him the ability to accomplish the impossible as he attempted what so many others said “couldn’t be done.” He did a lot of canyon work, cutting timber and freighting from the hills. He raised pigs and cattle, which he sold, built bridges and rerouted rivers. He moved houses by the hundreds. Any community in the valley reflected the work of his hands in this capacity. He developed a love of machinery and could take a car to pieces and put it back together and have it running smoothly. Every road was familiar to him and he could tell its history. He and Grandpa Hurst were the last ones to go over the old road of Trail creek to Ketchum; then it was closed behind them. In 1919 the Lost River Stake was organized, and he was sustained a 2nd Counselor to Bishop Walker in the Leslie Ward. Later he served as Mutual President, Ward and Sunday School Chorister, Genealogical chairman, and Sunday School teacher for adults for 20 years. Twice he was called as a Stake Missionary. On several occasions he helped prepare the dead for burial and was called for many times to assist with the sick. He was known and called fondly by young and old alike in Leslie as “Uncle Bird.” Along with this, he became the father of seven children who all love him very much and have tried to bring honor to his name by serving wherever called and all marrying in the temple. We are so grateful for Daddy’s life. What would we be, and what would the valley have done without him? We remember Daddy, getting out slivers and fish hooks and helping us learn our spelling words. We remember him talking over gospel principles, nights around the piano which he must have sacrificed to get for us. We remember learning to swim on Daddy’s back, his special fireworks at 3 O’Clock on the mornings of the 4th of July, hauling hay together, trips to the canyon for wood, sitting on his lap for a chat and a kiss, and lifesavers and pennies from his pocket to our hand, the tricks and games we used to play....his summers away from home in Antelope to put up hay, and then calling us by way of the neighbor’s telephone so we could talk to him. We remember him straining to hear and communicate from his lonely world of quiet... We remember his proud and happy look when we did things well, and tears in his eyes when we suffered. We remember his family prayers that we might all reach the Celestial Kingdom and be together as a family...Yes, this and much more....for we know that he truly loved us. Remarks added by Eugene R. Fallentine, husband of Lillian Tew (daughter) Bird Tew’s life exemplified the Savior’s teachings. He sacrificed all for his family. Though he died with humble means, yet he was rich with eternal riches. Bird Tew had the raw courage to assist in settling this valley. This is why the Lord sent him here. He was strong. He did not shrink in trial. He did not palsy in difficulty. He did not avoid conflict in speaking out against evil. He stood up and was counted for righteousness. We will all benefit from his example of undeviating righteous strength and courage. We follow a noble father, his honor is ours to wear He gave us a name that was free from shame - A name he was proud to bear, He lived in the morning sunlight and marched in the ranks of right. He was always true to the best he knew, and the Shield was he wore was bright. We follow a noble father and never a day goes by But we feel he looks down on us To carry his standard high. He stood to the sternest trials As a brave man can; Tho the way be long, We must never wrong, The name of so good a man. We follow a noble father not know to the printed page Nor written down the world’s renown As a prince of his little age. But never a stain attached to him And never he stooped to shame. He was bold and brave and to us he gave The pride of an honest name. We follow a noble father and him We must keep in mind. Though his form is gone, we must carry on The name that he left behind. It was ours on the day he gave it. It shone as a monarch’s crown. And as fair to see, as it came to us It must be when We put it down. | Tew, Monroe Bird (I43306)

March 10, 1877 (later divorced)[6] Woodruff's wives bore him a total of 34 children, with 14 preceding him in death.[7] Woodruff met his first wife, Phoebe Carter, in Kirtland shortly after his return from his first mission through Southern Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky. Woodruff came to Kirtland on November 25, 1836, along with Abraham O. Smoot. He was introduced to Phoebe by Milton Holmes on January 28, 1837. She was a native of Maine and had become a Latter Day Saint in 1834. Woodruff and Phoebe were married on April 13, 1837, with the ceremony performed by Frederick G. Williams.[8] Their marriage was later sealed in Nauvoo by Hyrum Smith.[9] In the late 1840s, Phoebe was set apart as a missionary and served with Woodruff as he presided over the Eastern States Mission. Phoebe was later numbered among the "leading ladies" who helped organize the Relief Society in Utah Territory in the 1860s through the 1880s.[10] During Woodruff's time as president of the LDS Church, his wife, Emma Smith Woodruff, accompanied him to public functions, and she was the only wife he lived with after Phoebe's death in 1885.[11] She was a niece of Abraham O. Smoot. Although she married Woodruff, then age 46, when she was 15, she did not have the first of her eight children until she was 20. Emma was involved in the Relief Society, serving as both a ward and stake president for that organization. She also served as a member of the Relief Society General Board from 1892 to 1910.[12] Among Woodruff's children was the LDS Church apostle Abraham O. Woodruff.

| 2293 | Lora Barney was the first daughter and second child born to James Henry Barney and Effie Malinda Nebeker Barney. She was born January 6, 1909, in Annabella, Sevier County, Utah. A neighbor, Mrs. M. A. Abbott attended. Lora had an older brother, Von, a younger brother, Dewite, and six younger sisters: Elma, Hazel, Reva, Vivin, Edith, and Martha. As the oldest girl in the home, Lora helped her mother with household chores. When a little girl, she stood on a stool to knead bread and help with the cooking. Lora became an excellent cook and her baking skills were extraordinary. Annabella was a farming community and the family had a root cellar to keep their food supply in. Lora often went to the root cellar to get items for family meals. Money was scarce in the Barney family so Lora was happy that she had earned a dime of her own. Her mother asked Lora to go to the root cellar and she went, dime in hand, but while getting the supplies, she dropped it. She looked, but could not find it. Lora was a child with a lot of faith. She got on her knees and prayed that she could find the dime. When she rose from her prayer, the dime sparkled in front of her. Her faith in prayer was strengthened as she knew that Heavenly Father heard and answered her prayer. Throughout her life, Lora had a strong faith in prayer and the gospel of Jesus Christ. She was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day saints on August 12, 1917, at age eight. Lora wrote, "One day I was cleaning the cupboard. I came to a pretty sugar bowl. As I was admiring the beauty of it, my father said, 'I see you like the sugar bowl . . . . If you look inside, you will see some money. That is not our money, it belongs to our Father in Heaven. Each first of the month Sunday I take the money to the Bishop. We as a family have put in ten percent of the money we have earned.' I never did look in to see how much money was in it. I knew where it belonged and was happy I had a part in it. . . . I was taught many things that have stayed with me. I had wonderful parents and I love them." Lora's mother taught her to knit and Lora helped her knit socks. She wrote, "Mother knitted socks for the men in the war . . . I was so proud that my mother could make such pretty socks and I could put the heel and top on some of hers. I always enjoyed doing craft work." Lora grew up in Annabella. Her father taught school in other towns some years and moved his family for the school term, but they returned to Annabella for the summer. The children worked in the garden and sugar beet fields in the summer. In the evenings, they had a good time singing together. Lora attended school in Annabella and then in Richfield as she got older. She graduated from LDS Seminary in Richfield in May of 1927. Lora married Ardell Clay Knight who also grew up in Annabella. They were married Wednesday, June 17, 1931, in the Manti Temple. On Friday evening, they were honored at a reception and dance in the Annabella Amusement Hall. Lora and Ardell lived in Annabella for a few years. They were involved in church and community activities. In 1932, Lora directed a one-act play put on by the Beehive girls. Later that year, a daughter, Joanne, was born. A second daughter, Lorna, was born in Annabella in 1935, about three weeks before Lora's father died on April 12, 1935, of a brain tumor. Lora was the only one of the Barney family who was married at the time of his death. Ardell worked on the family ranch in Annabella for a few years and then he went to work in the Western Auto store in Richfield. Lora and Ardell bought a house in Richfield near the school that their daughters attended They were delighted when their son, Roger, was born in Richfield in 1941. Ardell accepted a management position with Western Auto in Monterey, California, and the Knight family bought a home in Seaside, a suburb of Monterey. Lora worked side by side with Ardell in the Western Auto store fdor many years. Ardell suffered a heart attack and was prompted by the Holy Spirit that if he served the Lord throughout his life, he would be made well. From then on, Ardell and Lora were active in the Church and served in many positions. Ardell served as Bishop of the Seaside Ward for more than 20 years. Lora served for many years in Primary and Relief Society. At age 83, she was still serving as Relief Society secretary. Ardell left Western Auto because of his medical condition and went to school to learn about the new television technology. He and Lora opened their own store, Knights' TV and Appliance, where they sold and serviced television sets and appliances. They worked side by side in this new venture. Lora loved yardage, even though she had no desire to sew. She opened her own yardage store and enjoyed purchasing beautiful fabrics to sell to her customers. Lora was friendly and likeable and enjoyed getting acquainted with her customers. In planning for retirement, Lora and Ardell sold the yardage store and the TV and appliance store and bought a home in Modesto, California, near their daughter Joanne and her family. They also traveled to Anchorage, Alaska, to visit their daughter Lorna and her family. They liked to keep busy, so Lora and Ardell opened an antique business in Modesto. When their son Roger came to live with them to help them in their old age, Ardell and Roger made and sold jewelry. Ardell died of congestive heart failure on March 11, 1996, in Modesto, at age 83. Lora lived seven years as a widow. She did not drive a car, so was grateful for Roger's help during those years. She loved to crochet and made beautiful afghans of every kind that she gave away to family and friends. Lora loved people and those who visited her home were welcomed and treated to candy, cookies, cake, pie, or whatever she had. She loved sweets and eventually developed diabetes. Lora lived a gospel-devoted life filled with service to others. She and Ardell assisted many fellow travelers spiritually, financially, and gave service wherever they saw a need. Lora died of heart failure on February 28, 2003, in Modesto, California, at age 94. (Lorna Knight Clarkson and Grace Diane Barney Jessen contributed to this history which was compiled in 2018.)

' I never did look in to see how much money was in it. I knew wher e it belonged and was happy I had a part in it. . . . I was taught ma ny things that have stayed with me. I had wonderful parents and I lov e them." Lora's mother taught her to knit and Lora helped her knit socks. Sh e wrote, "Mother knitted socks for the men in the war . . .

| 2294 | Lorena Fitzgerald Nebeker, wife of John Nebeker was born April 25, 1819 in Monongahela County, Pennsylvania. The daughter fo JOhn Fitzgerald and Leah Phillips. The Fitzgeralds are a very ancient branch of the noble and illustrious race of Geraldines seated at an early period at the castle of Pallice, in the county of Limerick, Ireland. Maurice Fitzgerald, one of the first and principal invaders of Ireland first assumed that surname instead of Geraldine. He landed in Ireland during the reign of King Henry II, A.D. 1169. Laurena Fitzgerald was the youngest of a family of five children. O her mother's side, she was descended from an old Pennsylvania Dutch family. Her mother being the daughter of a Methodist Minister. When she was but a child, her father moved to Reily, Butler County, Ohio. Which locality at that time was a dense forest. As a child, she was a Bible reader and she received valuable training in sewing from her mother who had been a tailoress. At the age of sixteen, she was married to John Nebeker, on October 25, 1835. They made their home at Reiley, Ohio for a time, and then moved to Vermillion County, Illinois, were she became a convert to "Mormonism" in 1842. She was the first person bearing the name of Nebeker to join the Church. Four years later her husband was baptized. When the Elders first brought the gospel to her home, they were frequently in need of clothing, and on such occasions she would get busy with her needle and fit them out with what they needed. In the fall of 1846, with her husband, she left her home in Vermillion County, and journeyed to Missouri River near Council Bluffs, Iowa, where they spent the following winter. With their own family of five children, George Nebeker, her husband's youngest brother, and her older sister, Barbara Fitzgerald, they crossed the plains in Captain George B. Wallace's Fifty. Her husband being Captain of Ten in said Fifty. They arrived in Salt Lake Valley September 26, 1847. Sister Nebeker endured the hardships and privations connected with the settling of Salt Lake City. During the cricket famine she was 11 weeks without a loaf of bread in the house and there were nine in the family. Sister Nebeker was a very industrious, economical, and thoroughly practical individual. In making homespun cloth and stocking yarn and other needed articles, she could scarcely be excelled by any other women. She was unusually benevolent and hospitable and became universally known and beloved because of her acts of charity. She waited on prisoners, who were confined in her home with ball and chain, from lack of other quarters. At the time her husband was Assistant Marshall to John Van Cott and Horace S. Eldredge. The loss of an eight year old boy (Wiley) by drowning at the Warm Springs, July 23, 1860 was a most severe blow to her. In the early sixties, when her husband was colonizing Southern Utah, he ran into a band of Piute Indians who had a seven year or eight year old boy whom they were going to kill because his parents were dead. Brother Nebeker traded the Indians some horses for the boy and brought him to Salt Lake City, where he was reared in the Nebeker home. The Indian boy (Richard Pitarent) was a dutiful son to his foster mother. The John Nebeker home, located at 446 West 2nd North Street, and built in 1856 was when first erected one of the best houses in Salt Lake Valley and it was always a place of hospitality and good cheer. Sister Nebeker was the mother of thirteen (13) children. Of these 5 boys and 4 girls, namely Perry, Ira, Aaron, Ashton, Rosella, Almira J. Prescinda, Laura, and Aquila grew to manhood and womanhood. Sister Nebeker was also a mother to her weakly sister Barbara who was in poor health for over forty (40) years. When over sixty (60) years of age she took a motherless infant grand-daughter to raise; and also raised two older grand-daughters who had lost their mother. Sister Nebeker was fond of poetry and took great interest in current events. She died February 7, 1898 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

| 2295 | Lorenzo Hill Hatch was born at Lincoln, Addison County, Vermont, 4 January 1826. He assisted his parents on the farm. At the age of fourteen, he accepted the Gospel as taught by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints, and was baptized with his mother in February 1840 by Elder Sisson A. Chase. It was so cold on his baptism day that a saw had to be used to open a hole in the ice large enough to perform the ordinances. He emigrated with his father, Hezekiah, to Nauvoo, Illinois in 1843. In 1844, he went on a mission to his native state. He was there when he heard of the assassination of the Prophet Joseph Smith, and he returned home at once. With his brother, Jeremiah, he made arrangements to gather with the Latter-day Saints in Utah, since they were being forced to leave Nauvoo due to persecutions. He went with the early company of emigrants and became well accustomed to building bridges, making roads, and doing other pioneer work. He married Hannah Fuller on 3 February 1846. He met Hannah at her father's home in New York in 1844 while on his first mission. The privations incident to pioneer life were more than she was able to bear. She died on August 1847, in Nebraska. Lorenzo was very ill at the time of her death and hardly knew when she died. Early in the Spring of 1850, Lorenzo and his brother Abram left for the Rocky Mountains. They became part of a company consisting of fifty wagons, with David Evans as the appointed captain. They entered Great Salt Lake Valley by the way of Parley's Canyons 15 September 1850. As a widower he married Sylvia Eastman on 27 February 1851. Their first home was in Lehi, Utah, where they were among the first settlers. Mr. Hatch's past experiences as a pioneer were valuable in building up this new town. He helped build the first grist mill near there in American Fork Canyon. He entered plural marriage 11 November 1854, by taking Catherine Karren as a wife. Catherine was a beautiful woman, small in stature. She was five foot two inches tall and approximately 120 pounds. As was typical in her days she had very little formal schooling. This was limited to a brief period of night school in Lehi where she studied writing and also learned dancing. She was very literate and enjoyed extensive reading throughout her life. Two years after he married Catherine, Lorenzo was called on a mission to England. He made some provisions for his two families, but Sylvia and Catherine had to maximize their pioneer thrift in order to provide for the growing family during their husband's absence. Lorenzo was called on a mission to Europe in 1856 with about forty other Elders. He returned in 1858. During his absence his wives, who had been well supplied with food when he left them, suffered from the lack of necessities of life because they shared with less fortunate neighbors. Upon Lorenzo’s return, he was elected Mayor of Lehi, and he served three terms in the Utah Legislature. On 2 January 1860, Lorenzo married Alice, the daughter of Thomas and Caroline (Barker) Hanson. Catherine and Lorenzo were blessed with eleven children. One died as a child, but the other ten lived to adulthood and reared large families and they all remained faithful in the Church. Four of their children were born in Lehi, Utah; six in Franklin, Idaho; and the eleventh was born in Woodruff, Arizona. The building of the west and the development of the church made great demands on her husband, and Catherine was separated from Lorenzo about two-thirds of their married life because of his duties as a missionary (at least five missions), Bishop, Mayors Legislator, Counselor in two Stake presidencies and Patriarch. In 1863, Lorenzo was called by the Church Authorities to Franklin, Idaho to preside as a bishop. Up to this time his three wives had lived in one home in harmony, but were now forced to separate. Alice with two small children accompanied him to Franklin. He later moved Catherine there and still later Sylvia went. He served there in the capacity of Bishop for 13 years and was the first Mayor of Franklin. He traveled extensively as a home missionary. In 1876, he was asked to visit the Saints in Arizona in company with Daniel H. Wells and others. The Hatch family of Franklin had frequent contacts with Indians. These were generally peaceful but on one occasion there was a serious crisis. A drunken Indian accosted a young lady on the street of Franklin, and a man killed the Indian. The threat of an Indian uprising resulted. Lorenzo, who was serving as mayor was able to negotiate a peaceful settlement. Lorenzo traveled extensively as a missionary and helped to found and organize settlements on both sides of the Mogollon Mountains. They settle in Woodruff, Arizona. He was Stake patriarch and 1st Counselor in the Stake presidency until January 1901 when he was honorably released. Then he and Catherine returned to Logan, Utah, where Sylvia was then living. Here they spent the last years of their lives in Temple work and other church activities. Catherine died 24 February 1910 and less than two months later, Lorenzo passed on. They were buried in Logan.
