3106 She was born in Chester, Washington County, New York, March 17, 1805 and was married to Vinson Knight, July 26, 1826. Mr. Knight was for a time presiding bishop of the church and was one of two men chosen by the church to purchase the townsite of Nauvoo and in Hancock County.

They were baptized into the church in 1834, Mrs. Knight became a member of the Relief Society of the Church which was organized in Nauvoo.

Mr. Knight died July 31, 1842, at Nauvoo and in August 1842, she was sealed to the Prophet Jospeh Smith in the Nauvoo Temple.

She came to Utah in 1850, settling in Ogden, where she made her home for a number of years. She went to Hooper in 1869, where she has lived most of the time since, although visiting often with relatives in other parts of Utah.

After the death of the Prophet Joseph Smith, she was married to Heber C. Kimball and by him had one child who died in infancy.

She was the mother of six other children by her first husband, Mr. Knight, and three of them survive her, all of them being between 70 and 80 years of age. They are Mrs. Almira Hanscom, who resides near Akron, Ohio; Mrs. Adeline Belnap, Living at Hooper, this county, and James Knight, who resides at Circleville, Piute County.

She had a great many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Pictures of the old lady grouped with four of her direct descendants are to be found in the homes of most of her Ogden relatives.

The physical strength and endurance of Mrs. Knight was well-nigh marvelous. For nearly twenty years she had not used spectacles. Her needlework was a model of fineness amongst all her acquaintances for the past fifty years. She was a great reader, particularly of the daily papers, reading every word of telegraphic news, and during the Spanish-American War she was regarded as one of the best posted persons in Weber County on the military operations of the contending forces.

Two or three years ago at a birthday reunion of the family held in her honor, Mrs. Knight was called on for a speech and prefaced one of considerable length with a recital of the tremendous changes which had taken place in her lifetime, mentioning the steam engine, the modern printing press and the telegragh.

The Belnap family of Ogden are relatives. The funeral services will take place in the Hooper meeting house at 12 o'clock and the remains will be interred by the side of her mother, Mrs. Abigail McBride. The mother was sealed to Joseph Smith Sr., at Nauvoo.

3115 SHORT HISTORIES OF MARY VERENA BRYNER REDD
(Longer histories of the Bryners and Redds are recorded in “Redd Review”, prepared and distributed to the William A. Redd siblings and some of their children in 1999.)
Corrected 11 October 2017
Mary Verena Bryner was born 3 February 1866 at New Harmony, Washington County, Utah Territory to Hans Ulrich Bryner 1827-1893 and Anna Maria Dorothea Mathys 1825-1905. Her parents were married in Ulna, Zurich, Switzerland. They were among the first families in Switzerland to join the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Because of political unrest, they left Switzerland secretly to join the Saints in America.

In 1856, they left Florence, Nebraska in a covered-wagon company, headed for Salt Lake City. Hans Ulrich, blinded in an accident while butchering a pig, held onto the back of the wagon, walking in the dust and dirt thrown up by the wheels. Delayed and freezing, they caught up with the Martin Handcart Company at Devil’s Gate, where they were rescued.

Her parents first settled in Spanish Fork, later were called to help settlement of the south part of Utah. Here Verena was born and grew up in New Harmony, Utah, where they reared their family of eight. Until some of the children were older, Maria went with her husband to guide him with the farming, and the freight business he had started. He also wove hundreds of basket to sell, and reeds had to be gathered by the family and Hans.

As a child, Verena or Franey, as she was called, would lead her blind father, Hans Ulrich Bryner, around. They had their furniture in the same place all the time. They had to be very careful about that. No shoes or litter of any kind could be left about for him to stumble. Her father needed someone with him all the time, and her mother was his best help, so she left the housework to the girls, as soon as they were big enough.

At five or six, Verena would sit at her mother’s knee piecing quilt blocks. That was the way they learned to sew. As he was blind, their father liked someone to read the Bible to him in the evenings, so Verena and other family members read.

(Pamela Redd Craig, a grandchild, has an unfinished quilt top made by Verena. One-inch-by-one-inch pieces put together with stitches, tiny as machine stitches. Many pieces were from the corners of men’s handkerchiefs, nothing was wasted in that isolated pioneer community.)

Life in the pioneer era was hard. No stores. So much of what they needed they grew or made. Men took turns each spring and fall, going to Salt Lake to buy supplies. A sweet story of Verena: When she was about twelve, she made and sold products to earn money for a new dress. Verena gave her money to the shopper with her order for a summery cloth, printed with flowers.

All he could find was some dark, heavy fabric. Poor, disappointed Verena sewed her own dress, experiencing much grief in using a community pattern - a sort of one-size-fits-all. When a traveling photographer arrived at New Harmony, Verena wanted a photo in her new dress, but she yearned to have pantaloons showing below the hem. Her dear mom understood her daughter’s yearning and pinned and stitched her own bed jacket so the ruffled lace-edged sleeves became the legs of pantaloons. Verena’s photo is displayed in this history.
Verena played with her neighbor friend, Caroline Redd, much of the time, and they both learned many homemaking skills from Caroline’s mother. Eventually, Verna married William Alexander Redd, Caroline’s brother, in the St. George Temple 27 February 1884. After their first two children, William and Grace were born, this faithful wife supported their decision to send her husband to spend a three-year-mission in the Southern States.
After William’s return, they had triplet girls who died soon after birth, followed in death by little Grace. In these tragic deaths, Verena and William A. were comforted by their faith in the sealing power of their temple marriage, a sure belief that these little girls will be waiting for them on the other side of the veil.
Memories by family members:
-a born teacher, Verena taught all of her children, and many neighbor children, her skills. Her home was a gathering place for useful activities, as well as parties and celebrations.
-comfort for an ailing child: Mother warmed a cup of milk and poured it over a beaten egg with a little sugar and salt added. Some pretended sick in order to have this treat. -Fern Redd Laycock
- homemade rag dolls: legs, arms,d bodies stuffed with chopped up rags
-carpet rags: rags torn into strips, strips sewn together and wound into balls, and sent to a place where the strips were woven into rug strips. These mother (Verna) sewed the strips together to make a carpet for our front room. Rag bees and “quiltings” were the social functions of that time. -Jessie Redd Ursenbach

- Verena hand crocheted lace doilies and curtains and decorative edgings for lingerie, dress ruffles, baby clothes, pillow covers, table covers and sheets. (At her death, each grandchild received a lace doily, crocheted by their grandmother. Many of the linen doily centers were cut from the good parts of worn, linen temple sashes. I still have mine. ---Barbara Redd MacPhee)
-she was artistic, and furnished her home with colorful hooked rugs and chair covers in flower and geometric patterns. At first dyes were made from local plants.
-she was the one who started out the singing in Relief Society with her lovely alto voice. Though, most of her life, she was secretary of Relief Society, she was called on as if a counselor, to help care for the sick and prepare the dead for burial.
-her cellar shelves were loaded with fruit of every kind, jellies, jams, preserves, pickles, crocks of home-made butter, whole cheeses from her sister, Lucette’s ranch. The flour bin full, and crocks of home rendered lard, sometimes covering fried sausages, and plenty of fresh and cured meats. We even made our own soap.
- Each fall, Grandfather Bryner came to help with curing of pork and making of a huge barrel of sauerkraut. There was always cream and milk, a cellar full of vegetables. Long shelves, like trays, full of winter apples from our own orchards, sacks of pine-nuts, boxes of figs, raisins of our own making, and almonds. Stores of dried corn, beans, fruit of our own drying. Mother always made, or had us make, great batches of bread.
- Mother was a good cook. Our big table was always surrounded. There was always a bed in the parlour for guests, and many of the general authorities were guests at Bishop Redd’s home while in New Harmony and in President Redd’s home when he was Counselor to President Heber S. Allen in Raymond, Alberta, Canada.
Rudger Clawson, came, as a young man, Amassa Lyman loved mother’s tomato soup. Mathias F. Cowley came frequently. Father said mother could make a great meal with only a bacon rind and an onion.
“Mother found time to drive with father wherever he wanted her to go, and we children slept much on the floor, where she made good beds with the many quilts she made from wool of her own sheep, covered mostly with flannel from wool taken from those same sheep, and made into flannel by the Provo Woolen Mills”, and filled with sheep’s wool batts, she had washed and carded herself.

William and Verena’s plan was to leave New Harmony and find a place with greater opportunities for their ten living children. However, William was called as bishop, this calling lasted for about 20 years. After William was released, he made the decision to move to Raymond, Northwest Territories, Canada.

Once again, Verena was a pioneer in a remote, unsettled country. This time, as a mother of ten. Skills learned in New Harmony were essential in order to provide her family with food, clothing and a home of love and beauty.

In the area of the Northwest Territories of western Canada, in 1905, where the Redds were going, there was just a wide, flat, grass prairie. Just a group of pioneers who lived in a town site, and traveled out to farms. A plan adopted so families would be close to schools and neighbors and the church house.

When he heard the Redds were coming to join them in Canada, a friend wrote, advising, “There is nothing here, bring everything, even your swill bucket.” (In a swill bucket was collected organic waste, as feed for the animals.)

As soon as Redds arrived at Raymond, William immediately began to build a home for his large family. Some of his siblings came to Canada to help, and they built a beautiful ten-room home of large moulded-concrete blocks. Of course water was purchased by the barrel; and a house at the end of a path was the toilet. Baths were in the large tin tub they had used in New Harmony. Water was heated on the wood stove, and reused by several family members.

Franey and William enjoyed almost five happy, busy years in that home, and also the birth of their fourteenth child, a son, Kay Bryner. However, during bitter cold weather in January of 1911, William worked in the cold to feed and care for his suffering cattle and other stock. Weakened from this exposure, he contracted pneumonia, and passed away after only a few days’ illness.

After her beloved William’s death, grief stricken Verena “took to her bed” prepared to go to be with her husband. But when William appeared to her in a dream and told her she must stay, she rose from her sick bed, began to take charge of her household, and lived until 1934.

Verena struggled against much adversity to rear her ten children. There were almost total crop failures for the first seven years after William’s death. Also, William had invested in a real estate company which sold land to farmers. Because of the crop failures and other complications, there were serious financial problems.

He oldest son, Will, gave up his dream to finish a degree in medicine, and came from attending University of Utah, to help his sorrowing mother rear the children and settle th

3116 SHORT HISTORY OF ANNA MARIA DOROTHEA MATHYS -
Corrected 11 Oct 2017
-prepared by Barbara Redd MacPhee from histories by Lura Redd in “The Redd Review”

Anna Maria Dorothea Mathys was born in Weidekekon, Switzerland 14 July 1828 to Johannes Mathys and Anna Dorothea Meyer; and died 19 April 1827, 1 September 1893, She is buried at Price, Utah. She married Hans Ulrich Bryner Jr. 29 April 1851in Zurich, Switzerland.

Maria grew up in a well-appointed home of above average circumstances, financially, and whose family loved and had deep faith in God. An indication of their life style is that, when Maria and Hans Ulrich Jr. left for America, she had to leave behind “her trousseau, hand spun and woven sheets, pillowcases and all kinds of household linens, enough to last a lifetime”.

When her husband who we will call Ulrich, became blind, friends told her to “Give him up and let him go home to his parents, they are well enough off to take care of him. You don’t want to be saddled with a blind man all the rest of your life. What can he do for you now? You would be better off without him.”

But her mother said, “No, Maria will not desert him, he needs her now, more than he ever did.” One day her mother came into the room and said, “You can do nothing but pray about it--perhaps the Lord will open a way for you. I believe the Lord is in it, for a whispering voice always says to me, ‘Don’t feel sorry that Bryner is blind, it’s good for you all, but you don’t know it yet.’ ”

Maria was a woman of faith, courage and determination, ready to go with her blind husband half way around the world to join the Saints in Zion. For she had faith in the dreams, or visons, of her husband, and believed the Mormon missionary, Elder George Meyer, was truly the messenger of Ulrich’s dreams. She accepted the message of the restoration of the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ and of His church. They immediately began plans to go to Zion.

It was arranged that Ulrich’s brother, Caspar Bryner, and his wife, Barbara Ann, go first to America to prepare the way; and a year later, in 1856, Han, Maria, their little daughter Mary and five more, the rest of Hans’ siblings, followed them. Hans and Maria took their daughter, Mary with them, and left their infant son, Henry, with Ulrich’s parents, to come the next year, as they felt him too young for the trip.

Because of political unrest, Swiss government forbade citizens to move from home areas. Consequently, they had to leave home under cover of darkness in order to make their way to America. Forty-two days on the boat, “Enoch Train”, brought them from England to Boston. Then the long trip to Florence, Nebraska where they joined a wagon train for the 1000-mile, four-month trip across the Western Plains to the Salt Lake Valley.

There were many dangers and hardships. When the cattle stampeded, their wagon was upset. An older woman who was riding them, shielded little Mary with her body. Mary lived, but the heroic woman died. Also, the arm of the young driver they had hired was broken, which meant Maria had to assist her blind husband with the driving, acting as his eyes. Other times, when Ulrich was not driving, he held onto the back of the wagon, plodding along in the cloud of dust stirred up by the wheels.

Late in the trip, when early winter cold overtook them, Ulrich and the driver’s feet and legs became frozen, so brave Maria had to drive the four oxen, do the cooking and care for the sick men. Their frozen limbs were saved by the poultices Maria applied, made according to advice from Brigham Young, of pulverized sage and snow.

Maria’s father also became very ill, but survived. He died, a few years later in Utah. A generous and faithful man, of moderate wealth. He paid for publication of 1000 copies of the Book of Mormon, and for many Saints to come to Zion. Died in 1865. No doubt he helped Maria and Ulrich as they faced needs created by Hans’ blindness

Eventually, their wagon train caught up with the Martin Handcart Company, and Bryners were asked to take another family into their wagon. So they off-loaded enough of their own belongs to accommodate frozen, starving Saints of that company. Little Mary was so cold, Maria thought she was dead, but their prayers were answered. Her father rubbed her little body, and she lived.

When the exhausted family finally reached Salt Lake, Ulrich’s brother Caspar was not there to meet them. Upon seeing their desperation, kind people took them to their home. Caspar had heard the rescued folks were arriving, but he lived in Lehi, a two-day journey from Salt Lake City. Finally, upon arriving in Salt Lake, he went from door to door, asking, over and over, if anyone had seen a blind man. Remember, the Bryners knew little English. Finally, Casper found his family and they fell on each other’s necks and wept. It was December 24, 1856.

Lura Redd wrote: “They stayed in Lehi at first, then moved to Ogden, where the brothers farmed. Finally, in 1861 they were called by Brigham Young to help settle in St. George area. Here, they settled in what became New Harmony. No homes, no stores, no money there. They planted cotton, carded it, dyed it with roots and herbs, and Maria spun it into thread on a spinning wheel Ulrich’s father built for them. Brigham Young pronounced it the best home-made thread he had ever seen. They wove material for clothing, and sewed everything by hand in stitches as tiny as our machine stitches today. (Pam Redd Laurie has a part of a quilt top, sewn by hand by her grandmother, Verena Bryner, daughter of Maria. Pieces were one inch square hand stitched together in these tiny stitches.)

“Maria must have been a wonderful woman, was very capable, and could do almost anything. She devoted herself to helping her husband. She was very small, but quick and efficient. Her friends said she was sweet and charming as well. She spent all day with Hans, in the fields, guiding him as he did his work, and helping with the farm and orchard work herself, at the same time bearing six more children and training them well.

Ulrich could still manage pretty well in the house, if the furniture was always kept in exactly the same spot and there was nothing littering the floor. He could still mend shoes, and butcher hogs as well as anyone. He could prune trees and grapevines expertly. He would pick willows and weave baskets-there were none better-fancy baskets, as well as utilitarian measuring baskets. No one knew how he could judge, but he made accurate bushel, half-bushel and peck baskets. He trained his sons to do many things, among others, to drive a team by the age of eight.” Imagine Maria’s worries and concerns, and physical burdens, over the years, watching over, working with, and caring for her beloved blind husband, as he went about his busy life.

Maria also faced some social challenges. In Switzerland, the Mathys and Bryner families were fairly prominent. The street where the Bryners lived, is still called Bruner, today. But in America, things were different. These Swiss emigrants, who knew little English, were looked down upon by some of their neighbors, plus the father was a blind man who struggled for a living, and the mother labored in the fields and helped with freighting. Not the usual womanly occupations.

Apparently their neighbors, the Redds, were more understanding. Their children played together and worked together. Mothers shared homemaking skills, and fathers had, in common, their freighting and shoemaking interests, besides their farming operations. Eventually, their families were joined together when young William Alexander Redd courted and married Mary Verena Bryner, best friend of his sister, Caroline Bryner.

Ulrich was called, in 1884, to help with the settlement of Price. Because of persecution for practising polygamy, Ulrich’s second wife, Margaretha Kuhn Wintsch, married in polygamy in 1868, moved with him from Toquerville, where he had made a home for her. This poor woman had been widowed twice. Ten children were born to this couple.

Dear, brave, enduring Maria died in 1893, and is buried in Price. We do not know when she moved to Price. A noble Saint, devoted wife and loving mother.

3118 Shortly after the FORTUNE arrived at Plymouth in 1621, a shallop from the ship SPARROW, which Had arrive in Damaris Cove. In this little vessel were ten men, who came to select a site for another plantation; Phineas Pratt was one of them, Joshua Pratt, probably the brother of Phineas, and like him, unmarried, arrived at Plymouth in the ANNE in the summer of 1623. Most of those who came in thes ship and in the LITTLE JAMES were friends and relatives of the Plymouth settlers. During the year 1623 there was a division of the land at Plymouth, under three groups: those who came in the MAY FLOWER, those who came in the FORTUNE, and those who came in the ANNE. As part of the last group, Phineas and Joshua received two acres. Since Phineas did not come by any of those vessels, the probability is that he was the brother of Joshua and put with that group to make the division complete. In 1624 the settlers of Plymouth were divided into twelve companies of thirteen persons each. Joshua and Phineas were assigned to Francis Cooke.

He was appointed a surveyor on January 3, 1627, along with William Bradford, Edward Winslow, John Howland, Francis Cooke and Edward Bangs. He was mentioned in the cattle division of June 1, 1627, when he was a member of Francis Cooke's company which received "the least of the four black heifers came in the JACOB." He was a freeman at the time of the incorporation of Plymouth in 1633, and in April of that year he was foreman of the jury, as well as Constable in 1633, 1636, 1637. On December 4, 1638 he was again sworn in as Constable and the Court gave him the duties of measuring lands and the sealing of weights and measures.

3123 Simeon Avery began his miltary service June 1777 at age 18 in Connecticut.
In 1778, he is listed as an officer, a 1st Lieutenant Adjutant in the Continental Army.
On the Revolutionary War Rolls he became a Lieutenant by 19 Nov 1782.

During the Revolutionary War, General George Washington saw many soldiers dying of smallpox. To combat this problem "in March 1777 he [George Washington] made inoculation mandatory and set up special hospital in Philadelphia to implement the new policy" (His Excellency, Joseph J. Ellis, Alfred A Knopf New York 2015 pg. 100)
Surely Simeon Avery was among first group of soldiers receiving inoculation in June 1777. During this drastic time George Washington believed inoculated his troops would help win the war.
After Simeon's war service he married and had eight children.

Someone has added the following information to his find a grave notice: "He married Sarah Bump. She was born on Apr 13,1764 at Norwich,CT, a daughter of Levi and Patience Bump. Following Simeon's death, Sarah married Simeon Bigelow, the widower of Simeon Avery's sister Elizabeth.
 
Avery, Simeon (I142443)
 
3124 Simeon Bigelow was a Revolutionary War soldier, a private in Capt. Haddocks company from Massachusetts in 1775, and an artificer for Captin Oaks in 1777. He served from 1775 to at least 1778. He fought in the Battles of Bunkerhill, Lexington, and Germantown. He spent the winter of 1777-1778 at Valley Forge. He knew George Washington and General Putman.

From The Huntington Family in America A Genealogical Memoir of the Known Descendants of Simon Huntington from 1633-1915 In 1804 he moved with his parents to Watertown, Jefferson County, New York, being one of the first settlers of that county. In 1806, he returned to New Hampshire and married Zina. Soon after his marriage he moved to Watertown, NY where he lived and prospered in temporal blessings until 1811, when he sold out and the following year war was declared with Great Britain, which proved fatal to his prospects and coupled with much sickness in the family reduced them very low in pecuniary circumstances. His services in the army were done with the fife. He was in one battle, that of Sackett's Harbour. In 1816, Providence smiled on him again and about the same time he experienced religion and joined the Presbyterian church. In the winter of 1832-33 he first heard of "Mormonism", read the Book of Mormon, believed it with all his heart and preached it almost every day to his neighbors and everybody he could see or had the privilege to chat with, until 1835, when he and wife with two of their children were baptized by Elder Dutcher. After that his house was a meeting house and a home for all Saints. May 18,1836 he sent two of his children, Dimick and Presidia and their families to Kirkland, waiting himself only to sell out. October 1, 1836, he started and moved to Kirkland with quite a number of saints under the direction of Apostles Orson Pratt and Luke S. Johnson, being ordained an Elder previous to starting. He arrived in Kirkland on the 11th, bought a farm from Jacob Bumb, and paid him three thousand dollars. Of this amount he was defrauded, so that in a little over one year he was compelled to labor by the day for a living. In the breaking up of Kirkland the apostates harassed him with law suits until he saw his children often go to bed crying for bread. For nearly two weeks he lived on greens. His house was a hiding place for Father JosephSmith, Hyrum, Samuel and Don Carlos, while they were trying to escape from the persecutions in Kirkland. The egyptian mummies were also hid in his house for a long time and many of the pursued and persecuted Saints found a retreat there. In Kirkland he received his washing and anointings in the temple and was ordained a High Priest and High Counselor in which office he acted until the Church left Kirkland. He lost $500 in the Kirkland bank. May 21,1838, he started for Far West, Missouri, where he arrived about 2 months later, and, by counsel, moved to Adamondi-Ahman, where he was chosen commissary for the brethren who armed for defense; and after the mob had driven and hemmed in the scattering brethren, he was commissary for all the people of that place and had charge of all the provisions of the town. After the surrender of the Church in Far West, he was foreman of the committee chosen to confer with the committee chosen by the mob. These two committees were representatives of and authorized to transact all business for their respective committees. He was also one of a committee chosen to see to the poor and get them moved out of Missouri, which they did to the complete satisfaction of the whole church, though with no ordinary exertion and remained himself until about the last man and family. His was one of the first families that moved to Nauvoo where he arrived May 14, 1839. About the first day of June his whole family was taken sick and on the 8th his wife died of sickness, caused by hardships and exposure. At this time he suffered for the comforts of life. At a conference held in October, 1839, he was again chosen to the office of High Counselor. August 28,1840, he married Lydia Clisbee. As a member of the High Council he hoped to ay one of the cornerstones of the Nauvoo Temple. He continued a member of the High Council until the expulsion from Nauvoo. In the move from Nauvoo he was appointed captain of a company of fifty wagons which he helped to make, and to fit up for the company but which was subsequently disorganized. He was then appointed a captain of ten in Amasa M Lyman's company until the settlement of Mt Pisgah was located, where he was left to preside over that Stake of Zion. In his place his labors were extreme and unremitting for the good and welfare of the people and the comfort of the sick, of which there were a great many. August 9, 1846, he was taken sick with the chills and fever of which he died. In life he was beloved by all the Saints. His love and zeal for the cause were unsurpassed by any. His judgment was respected and his conduct never questioned; he never had a trial or difficulty with any person in the Church.

3131 Sketch of Rachel Holt Cottam
By Mary Ann Cottam Miller
With a few comments of James F. Cottam

Rachel Holt was born June 14, 1856, at North Ogden to James Holt and Parthenia Overton Holt. Her parents were converts to the Latter-day Saints Church in its early days. Her father was an overseer on a large cotton plantation in Tennessee and worked for his uncle who was owner of the estate and employed him to take charge of the slaves.
When the first Mormon Missionaries came into that section he heard and believed the message. He and his family (James’ first wife was Mary Pain) joined the Church and in 1840 set out to be with the Saints in Nauvoo. He was a real helper in the building if the Nauvoo House and the Temple both by the giving of means and by his labor.
In following the Church he and his family suffered many hardships. His first wife and two children died leaving him with four children.
After the death of the Prophet (Joseph Smith) he went with others to carry the Book of Mormon to the Iowa Indians. Here he met Rachel’s mother, who was one of the company on this mission. They were married in wild Indian country and she took over the care if his four children, all of whom were un poor physical condition because of lack of proper care. Pen cannot write the story of the hardships they endured but finally, by 1852, they arrived in Utah locating at North Ogden. It was here that Rachel was born. Her father had moved so much it was hard for him to remain in one place very long. When he would get well established he would sell out and make a new home. After nine years, when Rachel was six years of age, he moved his family to Washington, Washington County, Utah, in 1862, to grow cotton. Though Rachel was young she could pick the cotton very rapidly. When she was eight years old she and her brother would walk the seven miles to St. George with their cotton to trade it at Bentley’s store for something much needed. She well remembered giving her week’s wages of cotton for a yard and a half of calico. But how proud she was of the scant dress she got out of it.
She was of medium size with gray eyes and dark hair. Her hair changed to gray as she became older.
After the second season in Washington her father was suffering with malaria and they sought a cooler climate. A number of families were starting homes at Long Valley, Kane County,
So the Holts joined this group. They had only established themselves in rude shelters and planted their second crops when the Indians became very troublesome and they were advised to move out. They moved to Virgin City. The men went back to try to harvest their crops but only got part of them when the Indians came near massacring them and it was only by making their way by foot through the deep Zion Canyon country that they made their way back to Virgin City, the Indians took all of their produce.
One year in Virgin City was long enough and so they moved back to Washington. Some relatives had located on a ranch at the Meadow above the town of Hamblin and were so well pleased with their place that they thought it was just the place for the Holts to move to.
Rachel was now eleven years of age. Her schooling had been neglected because of moving so much but she herded sheep, rode horses and milked cows. Father Holt raised sheep for the meat and wool from which the family clothing could be made. It was scoured, carded, spun and woven. Rachel’s part of the work with the wool was the spinning. Her mother did the carding, then she spun the flakes unto fine threads ready to be woven into cloth, or into two, three, or four threads twisted into yarn for knotting into stockings. The successful use of the spinning wheel was an art in which Rachel was very clever. And years after her marriage she went to the ranch during the summer to spin the yarn from which she made stockings for herself and family. While visiting with her parents she also milked the cows and made cheese and butter for winter use.
When Rachel was seventeen she went to St. George to go to school. She lived with Martha Ashby, working for part of her board and keep and paying farm produce for the rest. She was not up with most of young people in her education at that time but did fairly well during the winter.
She has been courted for some time by a fine young man of Hamblin, who accidently shot himself in the arm and later died of blood-poison. While going to school she became acquainted with George T. Cottam and they started their courtship. Some time after she returned home he made a trip up to see her and make the acquaintance of her family. When he arrived, unexpectedly, she was dressed in an old pair of her brother’s work pants and was down in a potato pit sprouting potatoes. How embarrassed she was, but he did not care, he was still of the opinion that he wanted to marry her.
In October 1874, they went to Salt Lake City, along with four couples from St. George, and were married in the Endowment House by Daniel H. Wells. The trip took three weeks with team and wagon. While in Salt Lake City, George and Rachel were guests of his grandparents- John and Catherine Livesay Cottam. She was a very shy, modest girl and the old grandfather shocked her terribly. When they returned home they at once came to live at St. George, where George was a prosperous young man. They made their home with Father and Mother Cottam-Thomas and Caroline Smith Cottam-for two and a half years while their home was being built.
Rachel worked hard helping with such chores as milking cow, feeding pigs and caring for the chickens as her husband worked in the fields from very early until late at night. She was an excellent cook, a quick, hard worker and she never permitted a suggestive or unclean story to be told in her presence. She would not tolerate vulgar stories, slang or profanity. If the girls over-heard anything immodest away from the home they knew better than to repeat it at home. With the younger children it was different. As times changed, they were not as strictly disciplined and though she did not approve of many things they gradually crept in. The rule if the family was that each of them had to made it known when they returned from a part or activity and late hours were discouraged.
Every Sunday she prepared a fat hen with dumplings or doodles for dinner. She would remind the family that James liked the neck and he finally decided that he did.
Her washing was begun before daylight each Monday morning and finished before noon.
Many people came to their home to spend a few days working in the temple of for a few days of business and visiting. Her children were often tucked in a corner on a quilt of two for the night while their beds were given to the visitors. This still remains an unpleasant memory with some of the children. Many winters Rachel boarded two boys while they attended school. With her large family it meant additional work. The older children were girls and they were taught to work. If there was some time when there was not some job on, there was a baby to care for so there was no time for play. As soon as school was out for the summer, quilts were to be made and repaired, carpet rags to be made ready for the weaver to make into a new carpet. Her five rooms were covered with homemade carpets. This was made possible by shifting the older ones upstairs during the spring housecleaning and the poorest one put where the wear was not so great.
As a donation she baked all of the bread that was used for the Sunday School Sacrament for twenty-five years. She also did the laundry for the church tablecloths. She kept the commandment, “provoke your husband to good work.” She write few letters but ‘saw to it’ that George never neglected the family letters to the absent ones.
When the children were mostly grown she went to Relief Society and served for some time as a counsel under Emma Brooks. In the days that she served in the presidency it was expected that the Relief Society would help care for the sick in the ward. At times it was a lot of work especially when there was a lot of sickness and often a death or two. Many nights Rachel sat up caring for those needing helping from the Relief Society. She never sought public office and did not want others to know what she did. For many years she was a visiting teacher and enjoyed this duty.
She seldom missed going to church on Sunday afternoon.
With her older children she was strict in discipline and when she spoke to them they knew it meant “Do”. They were not allowed to play cards nor read novels.
In here later years she pieced quilt blocks and made braided rugs. She read the church books and some novels.
She was the mother of twelve children, eight girls and four boys. Her oldest boy died when he was nine years old. The others all lived to marry. She was a widow for seven years. She died at the home of her daughter Vilate Prince, in St. George where she had been living for some time-on March 29, 1942, at the age of eighty-five. She is buried in St. George.
