| 3351 | There is much out there on the Internet that is not quite accurate about John L. Harmon. His middle name is often seen as Lincoln - but after twenty years, I've never found actual documentation of such a middle name. The initial "L" appears in deeds several years after his death, but not earlier. His date of birth is questionable. It is sometimes seen as 1750, but I believe that 1766-7 is much more likely. He has been accepted as a Patriot by NSDAR based on the earlier date but there were multiple John Harmon/Harman/Herrmans living in the western wilderness of Virginia at this time and few records. Here are the reasons the later birth is more likely: There are tax records in Montgomery Co VA, and his marriage record that suggest he came of age just before his marriage in December of 1787. A website describing a visit to the old Cotton Cemetery (which once belonged to John Harmon and his heirs) cites a stone for John Harmon with the dates: born, 1767; died 1825. (See Source below) In 1810, Pulaski Co, KY, John Harmon was age 26-45, indicating a birth date between 1765 and 1784, but certainly not as early as 1750. I've never found an 1820 census that matched his family makeup at that time - he may have been moving from Ohio to Indiana. The earlier date of birth, calls into question any Revolutionary War service, as he would have been too young to serve. His death date is often quoted as 15 August 1837 - sometimes that is quoted as an "estate settlement". That date is neither. John L. Harmon was certainly dead prior to 1830 when his wife Elizabeth is head of a household in Pike Township, Marion Co, Missouri. There is a DEED in Marion Co IN, Deed Book I (the letter, not the number 1), p.353-4. The heirs of John L. Harmon, including his widow Elizabeth, sold six acres of land to Cyrus Cotton, EXCEPTING the cemetery where John Harmon and ____ (unfortunately there is no name) are buried. There is a probable daughter named Elizabeth for her mother about whom no records have been found - perhaps she died as a child and was the other person buried in the cemetery as all the other children are accounted for in this deed. The deed is dated 13 March 1837. It was not proved until 15 August 1837 because of the many heirs that had to sign. The deed describes boundaries which belong to other Harmon family members. (See Source) Although there are documents showing John Harmon's middle initial as "L". I have yet to see any documentation that his middle name was Lincoln. Would appreciate any proof. | Harmon, John L. (I139431)

| 3352 | There is scant documentation of Lucy Barnes' ancestry. She was born in Litchfield Co., Connecticut and married Solomon Williams, also of Litchfield County. Their marriage is recorded as taking place on September 27, 1789 in New Hartford, Litchfield Co., CT Lucy and Solomon had three known children indicating that Solomon might have died at a young age as it was normal for pioneering families to have many children and by pioneering standards, bearing three children is just getting started. Their known children were: 1 - Amos Williams b.1789/90 CT m. Eunice (maiden name unk) moved to Hancock, NY; d. 1847 2 - Mary E. Williams b.1793 CT m. Isaac C. Sutliff (Isaac is shown in 1830 census in Bethel, NY, then moved to Windsor, NY before 1850) d. between 1865 and 1869 . 3 - Elizabeth "Betsey" Williams b.1797 CT married Sherman Neal (in the 1830 census, Sherman Neal is shown residing in Bethel, NY where Isaac C. Sutliff also resides. In the 1840 census Sherman Neal is shown residing in Damascus, Wayne Co., PA about 15 miles south of Hancock, NY). Elizabeth's birthdate is calculated by her listed age in the 1860 census (which tend to be notoriously off and very misleading). It appears that after Lucy's daughters, Mary and "Betsey" married they moved with their husbands and children to the deep woods of the very untamed and unpopulated area of Bethel, NY in Sullivan County, then later the sisters went their separate ways - Isaac and Mary choosing to move to the area where Mary's parents had settled in Windsor township, NY (later split off and became Colesville township) and Betsey and husband Sherman moving to Wayne County, PA. and settling in the township of Damascus. A large number of Barnes families and Williams families moved from the Litchfield, CT area and settled in the township of Windsor, NY before 1820. In 1821, the township was split up with the creation of newly named Colesville township and from 1830 on, census records show the Barnes and Williams families as living mostly in Colesville along the border of West Windsor, NY. Records are extremely hard to come by for both Lucy and her husband Solomon. Lucy is thought to have had a brother named Oliver who also lived in Colesville. Oliver was the son of James Barnes and Phebe Batchelder. Lucy was born about the same time that Oliver's father James Barnes died (listed as "lost at sea" between 1759-1760) and records of that family stop abruptly with his death, possibly explaining the lack of records of Lucy. Nothing is known of James' wife Phebe after his death and it's possible she was pregnant with Lucy at the time and almost certainly remarried. Solomon is believed by some to have been the son of Bartholomew Williams and Sybil Thompson, but documentation does not exist (thus far) and shares a similar story with Lucy's parents. Bartholomew Williams and Sybil Thompson had several children before Bartholomew's untimely death in 1759. Bartholomew was killed in battle during the French and Indian Wars. Solomon would have been a newborn at the time or his mother Sybil was pregnant when her husband was killed. Again, like in Lucy's case, Sybil and her youngest children fall off all records and end abruptly after the husband's death - Sybil probably remarried. Bartholomew and Sybil's children were: 1 - Elizabeth Williams b. 1750 m. James Pendleton 2 - Israel Williams b. 1752 m. Hannah Parker (daughter of Eliada Parker and Sarah Curtiss) (moved to Windsor) 3 - Obadiah "Obed" Williams b. 1754 m. Prudence Doolittle (stayed in Litchfield, CT and lived near Colebrook) 4 - Bartholomew Williams Jr. b. 1755 m. Mary Goodwin (moved to Windsor) 5 - Rebecca Williams b. 1756 m. Thomas Murphy (unknown) 6-?[Solomon Williams b. 1758/59 m. Lucy Barnes (moved to Windsor)] There are a couple of open spaces besides Lucy's headstone and it is believed to be the area in which her husband Solomon is likely interred without a headstone or the headstone has gone missing. | Barnes, Lucy (I2792)

| 3353 | There were 2 women named Mette Jorgensen who have been confused. One Mette Jorgensen MVYK-HT2 was born in 1784 and died in 1863. She lived her whole life in Kong. She married Knud Jensen in 1814 and they had several children. Another Mette Jorgensen L9CN-DSC was born in 1779 and died in 1857. She first married Knud Andersen in 1807, and he died in 1831. She then married Knud Jensen in Søndersø in 1832. She did not have children with her second husband. Knud Jensen had previously been married to another wife who had died. In the census records they are listed with the parents, but they are stepchildren. | Jørgensdatter, Mette (I140690)

| 3354 | There were at least 2 Abraham Shaw's. The one that married Bridget Best was not the illegitimate son of Abraham Dobsone and Jenet Shawe as is documented in English Origins of New England Families, Second Series Vol III. See M. L. Bierbrier, “The Origin of Abraham Shaw of Dedham,” The American Genealogist (1981), LVII 85-9. 7 children baptized in Halifax: Joseph, Grace, Martha (d.y.), Maria, John (d.y.), John and Martha. | Shaw, Abraham (I120801)

| 3355 | Things I remember about my Grandpa Hansen, some as related by grandma, dad and others. He and grandma dry farmed west of Idaho Falls on an area that is now part of the government project early 1918,19 or there abouts. Dad was born in Howe but there is a picture of him on a cow at the dry farm when he was 1 or 2 years old. Grandma told of how she would sweep the dirt floor of the house they lived in on the dry farm. Grandpa farmed in Howe for most of the years that I knew him. Again pictures show them living early on in the Bernice area, which is where dad went to grade school. They also farmed along the little lost river on the west side of the valley with grandpa's farm backing up to the foot hills towards Arco Pass. Grandpa served as treasurer of the Blaine County Canal Co. for sometime as I remember lots of cancelled checks he kept in his office. In the early 1960's grandpa had a heart attack and was forced to sell the farm. He and grandma moved to a small 2 bedroom home in Arco, Id. It was here that grandpa became active in the LDS church. Grandma told me the highlite of his life was being ordained a High Priest. | Hansen, John Moore (I9186)

| 3356 | This brief sketch of the life of Dewite Barney was compiled by a niece, Grace Diane Barney Jessen, in 2018. Dewite Barney was the third child born to James Henry and Effie Malinda Nebeker Barney. He was born in Annabella, Sevier County, Utah, on October 23, 1910. He had an older brother, Von, an older sister, Lora, and six younger sisters, Elma, Hazel, Reva, Vivin, Edith, and Martha. Some sources give Dewite the middle initial "N" but his sister Vivin told Wendy Mathis that the initial was not part of his name. Dewite grew up in Annabella and also lived in Burrville, Koosharem, and Sutherland when his father was teaching school there. After his father left teaching and became a farmer, Dewite helped with the farm, did chores, and worked in the sugar beet fields with his brother and sisters. They thinned, hoed, and topped beets for their father and for other people in nearby towns. In the evenings at home, the family enjoyed singing together and listening to their father play the harmonica. Dewite's brother, Von, was three years older. He wrote: "Dewite was really headstrong and determined. He just wouldn't give in no matter what. He talked in his sleep and I had a lot of fun from that when he was a teenager. He would tell me everything. He also walked in his sleep until he was six or seven years old. Being the only boys in the family, we were very competitive in our early days. Maybe this was because he was so big and I was so small. Many times in our youth he was larger than I was. We started milking cows at the same time. I was about eight years old and he about five. I think he was probably bigger and stronger then than I was and was probably a better milker, too. We became very close in our later years." Dewite's parents were active, faithful members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Dewite was baptized a member on August 2, 1919, at age eight. Vivin wrote: "When our parents would go to Richfield or 'town' as we called it, Dewite would always like to make a batch of his favorite candy, patience. He called it patience because it took so long to make. It was creamy, rich, light tan in color, and usually had walnuts in it. I can still visualize the big bread board with all those luscious drops of candy that couldn't be beat. When we were together in the evenings, it would be brought out from hiding for everyone to enjoy." Dewite graduated from Richfield High School in May, 1929. According to the Annabella News in the Richfield Reaper, Dewite had a part in a play that was presented in Annabella, Monroe, Joseph, and Glenwood, inMarch, 1931. It was called "It Pays to Advertise." Von wrote about a show in which he and Dewite had parts: "Dewite was the villain and Leo Jensen, our new school teacher, was the hero. Donna and I captured the villain and fed him sleeping powder to hold him until the hero arrived. Of course, Dewite was supposed to fight the sleeping powder and would for just a minute and then would go for it like a trout after a fat worm. We kept trying to get him to resist more, but he just wouldn't do it . . . . Donna said, 'Don't worry, he'll fight when the time comes.' When we put the show on, I was holding him while Donna fed him. She let a little trickle into his mouth right on the start. The powder was Epsom salts and when Dewite tasted that, he put up a fight. Later, when the hero came, Dewite was supposed to awaken and make a dash for liberty and the hero was supposed to stop him. When Dewite made his dash for freedom, he dashed so hard that the hero couldn't hold him and both of them and the scenery all came tumbling down together." Vivin said that Dewite and his Uncle Gene Barney would fight in boxing matches in the ring in Bingham. Uncle Gene and Uncle Leonard worked in the Bingham Canyon Copper Mine for at least a few years, even after Gene moved his wife Ada to Annabella. Uncle Gene would take Dewite to Bingham to fight and they would make quite a bit of money. Uncle Gene was a strong man, built a lot like his father. Dewite was a little taller, not fat, just a good build. The Great Depression was going on in the 1930s and times were hard for most everyone. When Dewite was 24 years old, his father became ill, had surgery in Salt Lake City for a brain tumor, and died at home in Annabella on April 12, 1935. Lora was the only one of the Barney children married at the time. Seven months later, Dewite became the second one to get married. Dewite married Norma T Larsen of Glenwood, Utah, on November 24, 1935, in Richfield, Utah. Norma was the second of ten children of Terrance and Ruth Kierstead Larsen. At one time, Dewite and Norma lived in two rooms of his mother's home while she and her younger daughters lived in the other three rooms. On July 8, 1937, the Annabella News said that Dewite and other men had returned home. They had been employed as sheep shearers during the summer. Dewite and Norma became the parents of three sons and a daughter: James Hal (Jim) Barney, Joe Barney, Susan Barney, and Ted Lee Barney. When Jim, Joe, and Susan were young, the family lived in a house on Main Street in Annabella. The street is now known as 100 North. The children went to elementary school in Annabella and to junior high and high school in Monroe. In 1955, when Jim was in high school, the family moved to Sandy, Utah. Dewite and Norma received their endowments in the Manti Temple on February 7, 1955. Ted Lee was born in Murray in 1956. Two years later, the Barneys moved to Murray, Utah, in 1958. Dewite owned a service station in Murray. In 1959, when Von's wife Grace was in the hospital in Salt Lake City, Dewite and Norma were very kind to both of them, giving Von a place to rest, taking mail to Grace, visiting her, and offering their continual love and support until her death. The Barney children attended school in Murray. Jim, Joe, and Susan married and had families. Ted Lee was 22 years old when he died from injuries received in an automobile accident. He died February 18, 1979, in Salt Lake City and was buried in the Murray cemetery. This was a hard time for the family. For many years, Dewite had sight in only one eye due to a welding accident. He died August 24, 1982, in Salt Lake City, of cancer at age 71. Norma lived nearly another ten years. She died June 28, 1992, in Murray at age 77. She was buried beside Dewite in the Murray City Cemetery. This brief sketch of the life of Dewite Barney was compiled by a niece , Grace Diane Barney Jessen, in 2018.

| 3359 | This File Gets Changed Every Single Week. Please Do Not Make any changes unless you attach a PRIMARY OR ORIGINAL source Justifying Your Change. Changing the file to match your GEDCOM does not count as an ORIGINAL source. Let's see if we can go a whole month from now (August 24, 2016) without anyone decimating his family. Thanks so much. (March 2017 someone deleted his son, reasons unknown. May 18, 2017 someone moved all the children to the first wife.) TIMOTHY HAD TWO WIVES, BOTH NAMED MARY. PLEASE DO NOT DELETE OR MERGE HIS WIVES OR REARRANGE HIS CHILDREN. The author C.C. Baldwin seemed to be very confused about the two Marys but his work has since been corrected by many authors. See sources below. Find A Grave - many details on his findagrave.com listing are unfortunately inaccurate. He has no tombstone and his burial place is speculative. For proof that his second wife's MAIDEN name was not MEPHAM, but that it was her MARRIED NAME from her first short marriage to John Mepham Senior, please see Timothy's will, where he mentions his step-son John Mepham. Timothy Baldwin is mentioned in his father's will as the oldest son and was the executor of his father Richard Baldwin's will. A transcription of Richard's will can be found in the supplement to the Baldwin Genealogy, which can be found online here: https://archive.org/stream/baldwingenealogy1889bald#page/990/mode/2up (see page 990). This is a supplement to a genealogy written by C.C. Baldwin published in 1889. The full text of the original book can be found online (see Sources below). Richard's will is also transcribed in the full original book, see page 23. We know several things about Timothy's father: he had a wife named Isabel and 7 children living at the time he wrote his will in 1630. Those children are Timothy (the oldest son), Joseph, Nathaniel, Mary, Hanna, Christian (a daughter), and Sara. According to the above sources, several of this Richard's children - all of his sons mentioned in his will - emigrated to America and settled in Milford, Connecticut in 1639. His youngest sister Sarah also came. I don't believe that oldest sister Mary came with her husband John Pratt; I don't know about Hannah or Christian, but I haven't seen any proof of such. This family is also mentioned in some detail in Susan Woodruff Abbott's book, "Families of Early Milford, Connecticut" that can be found on ancestry.com. This book doesn't discuss Joseph, Timothy, or Nathaniel's parentage other than to say they were sons "of Richard and Isabell" (see page 27, 43, and 60). In general, settlers of Milford with the last name of Baldwin are discussed between pages 14 and 60 and span many generations. Timothy is mentioned on page 60. I haven't yet been able to make anything other than a guess as to his birth year, although he was over 21 when his father wrote his will in 1630, putting a possible birth year at or before 1609 - probably closer to 1600 (his parents may have been married in 1598) as he was the oldest son, and it looks like at least one other son was already 21 at the time the will was written. In his will, Richard mentions the boys first - Timothy the oldest, then Nathaniel who is already 21, and then Joseph who is under 21, and then mentions his girls - Mary appears to be the only married child, and she is already old enough to have 3 of her own children. I would suspect that perhaps she might be the oldest child. And then I don't know if it would be Hannah or Nathaniel next, followed by an uncertain order of the 3 children who weren't yet 21 in 1630. So there is some information on birth order of Timothy and his siblings, and the rest has to be speculation (except that we do have a baptism record for sister Christian). Sometime between 1633 when he proved his father's will in court and about 1637, Timothy and several of his family members moved to Connecticut/Massachusetts. His little sister Sarah married John Searle, Sr. in 1638 in Springfield, Massachusetts. Timothy first had a plot in the New Haven colony which he sold before going to Milford; he may or may not have ever lived in New Haven. See source below, "History of the Colony of New Haven." According to page 403 of The Baldwin Genealogy, Timothy was one of "the first settlers [of Milford, Conn.] in 1639 and joined the church in 1643, with Mary his wife, who died July 31, 1647 ...That he was a brother of Nathaniel, appears from an entry from the long, narrow book of Milford records...Timothy lived for awhile in Guilford, Conn., about 1650, having married, March 5, 1645 (?), Mary Mepham, widow of John, of Guilford...[this is a typo. it should say March 5, 1649.] About 1651 or 1652 they sold the Mepham property and moved back to Milford." His known children include Mary, Hannah, Sarah, Abigail, Anne, and Timothy. Sources for these children are attached below. C.C. Baldwin here seems hopelessly confused about Timothy's two wives. This source should only be used with caution. WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT TIMOTHY's WIVES? We know that Timothy's first wife was named Mary. His second wife was also named Mary. There has been quite a bit of confusion about his two wives, and some secondary sources have perpetuated bad information. There is, on ancestry.com, a collection of indexed records from primary sources known as the Barbour Collection. The Barbour Collection of Connecticut Vital Records is an index to and transcription of most of Connecticut towns' vital (birth, marriage, death) records from the inception of the town to about the year 1850. There are two parts to the collection; a statewide surname index and a bound volume for each town. In this collection on ancestry.com there is a transcription of the original marriage record between Timothy and Mary Mopham, widow, of Guilford, Mar. 5, 1649. There is no original marriage record between Timothy and his first wife Mary, and consequently, we have had to look to other sources to find her maiden name. However, there are two pieces of information about Mary, the first wife, in the Barbour Collection. The first is that Mary, wife of Timothy, was admitted to the church March 5, 1643. The second was that she died July 21, 1647. There are many sources which identify her as Mary Welles, including this well-sourced book: Descendants of Gov. Thomas Welles of Connecticut, Volume 1, 2nd Edition, which can be found online (see Source below). This identification is made primarily through Governor Welles' will. There is a long discussion of the proof of the first Mary's maiden name in the book written by Donald Jacobus, "An American family : Botsford--Marble ancestral lines," source attached below. See page 30. So, any children born before 1647 belong to his first wife Mary, and after 1649 belong to his second wife Mary. Mary (bapt. 2 April 1643), Hannah (bapt. Aug. 1644) and Sarah (bapt. Aug. 1645) belonged to Timothy's first wife Mary (Welles), and Abigail (bapt. Dec. 29, 1650), Anne (born July 1, 1655, died age 3 weeks) and Timothy (born June 12, 1658) belonged to second wife Mary (widow of John Mepham of Guilford, whose maiden name is unknown). Timothy and his brothers are also mentioned In a book called the History of Milford, Connecticut, which can be found online (see Source below). Starting on page 7, there are 5 men with the last name of Baldwin who are mentioned in the first town meeting, held on November 20, 1639: Richard, Nathaniel, Timothy, Joseph, and John. Timothy's widow Mary remarried after his death. An indexed, typewritten copy of Timothy's will can be found in the book, "A Digest of the Early Connecticut Probate Records," which can be found online (see Sources below). The will was dated 31 January 1664/5. The text of his will is generally as follows: Timothy Baldwin of Milford do make this my last Will and Testament: I give to my eldest daughter Mary Smith, the wife of Benjamin Smith, Lands adjoyning Samuel Buckingham and John Lane. Item. I give to my daughter Hannah Baldwin œ50. Item. I give to my daughter Sarah Buckingham œ50. Item. I give to my son Timothy Baldwin all my houses, Lands and Meadows Lying in Milford that is undisposed of, to enter upon, but two thirds thereof until after the decease of my wife. I give to my three grand children, to each of them, a ewe sheep. Item. I give unto John Mappam, my wive's son, œ4 upon this condition, if he be obediant to his mother and carry dutifully towards her...." In 1664 he counted 3 grandchildren, likely Mary Smith, Sarah Buckingham, and who? I don't know - maybe unborn Hannah Smith? Or else we are missing a grandchild somewhere. His wife was sole executor. The inventory taken 6 Feb 1664/[5?] amounted to 529 pounds 18 shillings and 6 pence. (We know from this will that his second wife Mary had at least 1 son before her first husband died). I think it likely that Timothy helped to raise this stepson from his wife's first marriage. In all, it looks like he had 4 children and one step-son who lived to adulthood. Of these, only son Timothy could have passed on the family name, and it doesn't look like he had any sons who lived to adulthood. There are a variety of sources for a death date for Timothy, which is complicated by the "double dating" method used in those days for the months of January, February, and March. Here is a rundown of the variety of opinions: 1. According to The Baldwin Genealogy, p. 403, Timothy died "the night following January 17, 1664/65." 2. According to An American family : Botsford--Marble ancestral lines, page 29, he died January 17, 1664/65, see page 29, even though in the very next paragraph he says his will was signed 31 January, 1664/5. I am pretty sure that isn't possible. 3. According to Families of Early Milford, Connecticut, page 60, Timothy died 17 January 1664/5. 4. A digest of the early Connecticut probate records, page 177, doesn't give a death date, but says his will was dated 31 January 1664-5, and was proven in court 2 March, 1664-5. 5. The Barbour Collection, which contains is a typewritten indexed copy of the Milford church record which mentions Timothy's baptism and death (see source below, Connecticut, Church Record Abstracts, 1630-1920) indicates he died 17 January 1664 (no double dating). 6. The book, "Descendants of Gov. Thomas Welles of Connecticut, Volume 1, 2nd Edition" on page 203 sums this date problem up nicely: "This 17 January 1664 death date is listed as part of the church membership list where it is appended to the note that Timothy joined the church, so it is not found in any list of deaths by date order. The 31 January 1664 date on which his will was written was taken from the probate court register book and not from the original will. Thus, there is no simple way of evaluating which date might have been incorrectly understood." | Baldwin, Timothy (I33494)

| 3392 | This is a brief account of Effie's life. More details may be found in the Memories section. Effie Malinda Nebeker was born October 29, 1881, to Lewis Elias Nebeker and Martha Jane Winn Nebeker. She was the third of their six children. She was born in Richfield, Sevier County, Utah, and moved from there to Idaho with her family when she was four years old. Effie's father ran a sawmill in the Preston area. Effie was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints at age eight. She suffered a broken arm twice as a girl. Her mother died when Effie was eleven. She and her older sister Millie cooked and baked bread for the men at the sawmill near Mink Creek, Idaho, for the rest of that summer. In the fall, her father moved the family to Preston so the children would be closer to school. When Effie was 15, her father was advised to move south for Aurelia's health. Aurelia was Effie's younger sister. The family moved to Annabella, Sevier County, Utah, but Effie lived with her Grandma Nebeker and two aunts in Richfield for a couple of summers. She attended school in Annabella and completed the eighth grade. That was as far as schools in the area went at that time. Effie was in a play with James Henry (Jim) Barney and they started going together then. They dated for five years before their marriage. After 8th grade, Effie went to work. She worked at the Anderson dairy farm at the Black Hill milking 10 cows in the morning, 12 at night. She helped make cheese, did laundry, cleaning, and cooking for a family of seven for $1.50 per week in store pay. She also worked for her Aunt Matt Gleave and other people doing housework. After her sister Milllie married and her father and brothers went off to work, Effie was on her own and had to work all the time to support herself. Effie and Jim were married and received their endowments in the Manti Temple on September 12, 1906. Effie was 24 and Jim was 23. They lived in Annabella and after a few years they bought a home of sawed logs in the east part of Annabella which was their home for the rest of their lives. Jim went to summer school for a few years after their marriage and got a teaching certificate from the University of Utah. He taught school in Annabella for some years and was principal and taught in Burrville for a year and in Koosharem for a year. Effie and the children moved with him. In 1914, when Jim was principal and taught in Sutherland, Millard County, Effie and the children stayed in Annabella to care for the farm and livestock. They moved to Sutherland to be with Jim after a daughter, Hazel, was born in September, 1915. Jim next had an offer to teach in Lehi, but felt it was too hard to move the family there. Effie told him if they couldn't all go, he could go and never come back. Jim stayed home and turned to farming for a living. Later, they were both sorry he gave up the work he loved. Effie and Jim became the parents of nine children, two boys and seven girls: Von, Lora, Dewite, Elma, Hazel, Reva, Vivin, Edith, and Martha. The children had happy memories of growing up. The family worked together in the home, the garden, and the fields. They raised chickens, milked cows, raised hay and sugar beets, had a large raspberry patch and a fruit orchard. In the evenings, they enjoyed singing together. Effie didn't think she could sing, but Von said she sang to him when he was a little boy. Effie and Jim were active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. They taught their children well. Effie served as a primary teacher, as counselor in the Relief Society for nine years, magazine representative for 16 years, and visiting teacher for 52 years. Jim held church positions in the ward and stake and in the community. Effie was fun to be around. She never used slang or swore or spoke unkindly of others. She knew how to control her temper. In 1935, Jim became ill. Three doctors came to see him, but he only grew worse. A new doctor told Effie to take him to Salt Lake City. Her relative, LaRell Nebeker, drove them in his car. After tests, Jim had brain surgery, but a tumor was so advanced, the doctors could not help him. After a few weeks, he was allowed to go home. He liked Effie to be by his bedside. He was rational most of the time at home, but also needed priesthood blessings to relieve his pain. He died on April 12, 1935 at age 52. When Jim died, Effie had one daughter, Lora, who was married. The youngest child, Martha, was ten years old. The following years were difficult. Effie kept busy and sometimes worked as a sort of midwife and took care of women after they had babies. She pieced and quilted many beautiful quilts, crocheted lovely items, and knitted socks for soldiers during the war. She never had a car, but she rode to the temple whenever she had a chance. In 1954, she was called as a stake missionary. While serving in that position, she led South Sevier Stake in temple endowments. Effie served as captain of Camp Red Butte Daughters of Utah Pioneers for two years. She took a few trips with friends and especially enjoyed a bus tour to Canada. Effie helped her children throughout her life. When some of them needed a place to live, she shared her home. When Von lost his wife, she helped him and his children immensely. When Hazel lost her husband, Effie went to live with her in Glenwood for a time to keep her company. While there, she fell and broke her pelvis. She learned to walk again and returned home to Annabella. In 1968, Effie became ill. After a time, she went to live in Magna with Reva and Cazell. A few months later, she got pneumonia and was taken to a hospital in Salt Lake City where she died on December 3, 1968. She was 87 years old and had been a widow for 33 years. Effie was a remarkable woman, a great example to all who knew her, and much loved by her friends and family. More stories are in the Memories section. This is a brief account of Effie's life.

| 3393 | This is a brief account of Jim's life. More details may be found in the memories section under stories. James Henry Barney was called Jim by family and friends. He was born January 7, 1883, in Annabella, Utah, to Royal Hyrum and Martha Sophia Jacobsen Barney. He attended school in Annabella through the eighth grade, then went to Snow Academy in Ephraim, Utah, where he played basketball, boxed, and wrestled. He graduated in 1905 at age 22. His mother died in October that year. Jim helped his father and brothers on the farm as he grew up and also worked on roads in the area with his team of horses. He often had a leading part in plays. He became a school teacher and taught in Annabella for a year before his marriage. Jim married Effie Malinda Nebeker Barney on September 12, 1906, in the Manti Temple. For a few years after his marriage, Jim went to summer school at the University of Utah and obtained a teaching certificate. Jim and Effie made their home in Annabella and he taught there for some years. They also lived in Burrville, Koosharem, and Sutherland, Utah, for the school term when he taught school in those towns. Eventually, Jim gave up teaching and turned to farming for a living, but he regretted it later. He thought teaching was the greatest work anyone could do. Besides raising sugar beets and hay, Jim raised a large garden and had purebred Holstein milk cows. He worked at the sugar factory and at the beet dump in Central. He worked at Otter Creek Reservoir with his team of horses and helped build the road in Sevier Canyon with them. He hauled poles from the mountain for the telephone company and did other kinds of work. He was Annabella water master for several years and water master of the South Bend Extension canal. He did much of the work getting water to the Annabella cemetery. He served as a trustee on the Annabella Town Board, as clerk and treasurer of the board, and as Justice of the Peace. Jim and Effie were active members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Jim was baptized a member on July 6,1892, at age 9. He was ordained an elder in November, 1905, and a seventy on October 15, 1907. He served on the South Sevier Stake Sunday School board, taught the Elders Quorum, and the adult Sunday School class for many years. Jim and Effie were the parents of nine children: two boys, Von and Dewite, and seven girls, Lora, Elma, Hazel, Reva, Vivin, Edith, and Martha. Jim was a loving, but strict father. The children worked with him in the sugar beet fields, hauled hay, milked cows, and did other chores. In the evenings, they enjoyed singing together as a family. Jim had a good voice, played the harmonica, and taught some of his girls to play. He taught them to recite poetry and to run. He was a good wrestler and taught his boys to wrestle. Jim was rarely sick, but on his 52nd birthday, he was sick with a headache. Within a few days, he was too sick to get out of bed. Three doctors saw him, but he only grew worse. A fourth doctor told Effie to get him to Salt Lake City to Dr. Reed Harrow, a renowned brain surgeon. Jim underwent surgery in Salt Lake City, but a brain tumor was so advanced, the doctors could not help him. During the surgery, the pain became so bad that Jim broke the straps and tried to climb off the operating table. It took four or five men to subdue him. After a few weeks, he was allowed to go home. Medicines did not help his pain, but Elders came to administer to him when needed. He inspired visitors with the things he told them. He wanted to get well and serve the Lord on a mission. Eventually, he lost his speech and became paralyzed on one side. He died at home on April 12, 1935, at age 52. Only one of his children, Lora, was married at that time, and his youngest child, Martha, was only ten years old. He was laid to rest in the Annabella cemetery. Jim was an honest, devout man, a wonderful husband and father, and an excellent example for his numerous posterity. | Barney, James Henry (I69331)

| 3394 | This is a brief life sketch of Vaughn James Barney written by his daughter, Diane. More detailed stories about him are found in the memories section. Vaughn was the oldest child of James Henry Barney and Effie Malinda Nebeker Barney. His name was spelled "Vaughn" on early records, but he wrote his name as "Von J. Barney" for most of his life. He was born in Annabella, Sevier County, Utah, on May 5, 1907. Von started school in Annabella at age six. He skipped a grade when the family moved to Sutherland and back between third and fourth. He spent three days in sixth grade and was promoted to seventh. The flu hit hard and after a few weeks, schools were closed for the rest of the year. The school house was condemned, so the next year he went to seventh grade in Central. At Christmas time, he was promoted to eighth and went o Richfield Junior High School. Von was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints on July 3, 1915, in the clap hole of the canal in Annabella when he was eight years old. As a boy, Von had chores to do and worked with his family in the garden and fields, both his father's and others. Some years, he felt like he hoed sugar beets all summer long. He loved to read and read everything he could find. Von had measles, whooping cough, and chicken pox. When he was about 12, his parents learned he had a hearing problem. A specialist said it was caused by bad tonsils, so they were removed, but that didn't help. He had trouble with his hearing for the rest of his life. When he entered Richfield High School, Von was younger and smaller than the other students and his high school years were not happy ones. He attended the first seminary taught in Richfield. He took seminary for three years and was among the first graduates. He graduated from seminary and from Richfield High School in May, 1924, at age 17. Von attended the University of Utah for two years, laid out for a year and a half, then went back for two quarters. He majored in speech and minored in physical education. He entered the ROTC in October, 1924, while at the U of U. He made the wrestling team his second and third years, won his letter, and joined a fraternity. These were happy years. He loved all his studies and made many friends. After the first two years of college, Von went home and helped on the farm until his asthma got so bad that he went back to Salt Lake City. He worked as a counter boy in Shay's Cafeteria all winter. In the fall, he went to Idaho and worked in the potato harvest and a sugar factory. He went back to the U after Christmas. During these years, he worked at various jobs such as second cook in the beanery for the Union Pacific Railroad, digging post holes for guard rails in Sevier Canyon, and again in Idaho for a fruit company. The great depression hit hard in about 1930 and Von was unable to get work of any kind for about four years. He wanted to go back to school, but his father died in 1935 and Von needed to support his mother and younger sisters still at home. He couldn't get a job any place else, so he joined the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) which was under the army. He was in Salina for a year and in Mayfield for a year with the CCC. He learned to operate a bulldozer which opened up the opportunity to work construction at skilled labor prices. This helped him financially and took him to Wyoming where he worked on road construction. In July, 1937, Von went to a dance in Afton, Wyoming, and met Mildred Grace Crapo, known as Grace. They dated and fell in love and Von asked Grace to marry him. In November, he left with the construction company and went back to Utah. They wrote letters to each other and planned to marry in the spring when he could get a break from work. The spring of 1938 was a wet one in Utah. Floods and rain disrupted the road work and kept postponing the wedding. He finally got away and arrived in Fairview, Wyoming, on June 4. On June 6, he drove Grace and her mother to Paris, Idaho, to meet his mother who was visiting there. Then they drove on to Logan. His car had only one seat, so there was not room for his mother, too. Von and Grace were married in the Logan Temple on June 7, 1938. He was 31 and she was 23 years old. That summer, they lived in Randolph, Utah, in a little trailer house. They moved it to Provo Canyon when Von worked on the road above and below Deer Creek Reservoir. He pioneered that road. Next, they lived between Moroni and Mount Pleasant, Utah, and again in Provo Canyon. In May, 1939, they moved to Annabella and lived in two rooms of Von's mother's home. He still worked construction, but was home for about a week when their first child, Diane, was born in June. In 1941, Von worked in Wendover for L.A. Young Construction on a Caterpillar tractor as a "catskinner." He drove the first cat on the job. They built runways for a new air base which became important during the war. Grace and Diane stayed in Annabella. In the fall, Von decided to go to Annabella and build his house. It was a good thing he did for when the war started, it was impossible to get building materials for four or five years. Grace's mother died December 5, 1941, and two days later, Pearl Harbor was bombed and the USA was at war. Von built two rooms of his house that winter and they moved in and Von began farming in the spring. In July, he went to work at Tooele Ordinance Depot driving a cat, smoothing down the dirt where they were building the igloos. Pay was very good: $1.50 an hour. Von's second child, Kim, was born in October, 1942, while he was at Tooele. Grace sent a telegram and letter to let him know. In the spring of 1943, Von decided to go home and farm so his kids would have food. He raised crops and pigs and milked six or eight good cows. The cows saved him. In 1947, Von bought the first John Deere tractor that came to Richfield. The year 1948 was a bad one for the farm and he lost his shirt. In the fall, he went to work at the Western Gypsum plant in Sigurd. Later, it became Bestwall, then Georgia Pacific. He worked there and also farmed until he sold the farm in about 1964. Between 1944 and 1955, Von and Grace were blessed with four more children: Mack, Sherman, Joyce, and Wendy. Grace's father came to live with the Barney family for a few years before Wendy was born. Von and Grace were active in the Church and taught their children well. Von served on the stake Sunday school board, stake MIA board, and taught the adult Sunday school class for many years. In 1955, Von was elected president of the local 160 chapter of the United Cement, Lime, and Gypsum Workers Union. He was working at the gypsum plant and did many good things for the workers. They voted to strike and the strike lasted 55 days, but was settled to the men's satisfaction. In 1959, Grace became ill. Von took her to the hospital in Salt Lake City where she was told she had leukemia. She died one month later on August 18, 1959, at age 44. The following years were difficult for Von, but his mother lived across the street and she helped him and his children immensely. Von eventually met Julia Michaelson Burr, a widow from Monroe. They were married on February 5, 1963, in Manti. Julia's three older daughters were married, but her youngest daughter, Bonnie, moved into Von's home in Annabella with her. Diane was also married by this time and Kim was serving a mission in Brazil. Julia was a good mother to all the children at home and a good wife to Von. They had 30 years together. Julia encouraged Von to see a new ear specialist. Others had not helped him, but this one did and enough of his hearing was restored that he could enjoy life again. He served as stake mission president for five years. Julia often went with him to teach investigators. He served in other Church callings, too. In 1980, Von and Julia were called to work in the Genealogy Library in Richfield. After Von retired from Georgia-Pacific, they went to the temple often, every week when they could. They also traveled together to visit family and friends in California, Washington, Colorado and Utah. They raised a large garden every year, preserved much of it, and gave much away. Through the years, Von had trouble with skin cancer and had treatments for it in Provo for a time. At age 86, he felt he was wearing out and he was ready to go on to that "last great adventure." He died in the hospital in Richfield on October 11, 1993. He was buried in the Annabella cemetery beside Grace. Julia continued to live in the home in Annabella for a few years. She was active in Relief Society and Church, even after she became ill with pancreatic cancer. She went to live with her daughter Juleen and son-in-law Van L. Dalton a few weeks before she died at their home on April 12, 1996. She was 84 years old. Von was a loving husband to two sweet wives, a wonderful father to six children of his own and to Julia's four, and a kind grandfather to 30 grandchildren and several step-grandchildren. He was an exemplary and righteous man. We loved him and we still miss him. This is a brief life sketch of Vaughn James Barney written by his daug hter, Diane. More detailed stories about him are found in the memorie s section. Vaughn was the oldest child of James Henry Barney and Effie Malinda Ne beker Barney. His name was spelled "Vaughn" on early records, but h e wrote his name as "Von J. Barney" for most of his life. He was bor n in Annabella, Sevier County, Utah, on May 5, 1907. Von started school in Annabella at age six. He skipped a grade when t he family moved to Sutherland and back between third and fourth. He s pent three days in sixth grade and was promoted to seventh. The flu h it hard and after a few weeks, schools were closed for the rest of th e year. The school house was condemned, so the next year he went to s eventh grade in Central. At Christmas time, he was promoted to eight h and went o Richfield Junior High School. Von was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Da y Saints on July 3, 1915, in the clap hole of the canal in Annabella w hen he was eight years old. As a boy, Von had chores to do and worked with his family in the garde n and fields, both his father's and others. Some years, he felt lik e he hoed sugar beets all summer long. He loved to read and read ever ything he could find. Von had measles, whooping cough, and chicken pox. When he was about 1 2, his parents learned he had a hearing problem. A specialist said i t was caused by bad tonsils, so they were removed, but that didn't hel p. He had trouble with his hearing for the rest of his life. When he entered Richfield High School, Von was younger and smaller tha n the other students and his high school years were not happy ones. H e attended the first seminary taught in Richfield.

| 3395 | This is a brief sketch of the life of Elma Barney Cloward. More stories and photos are found in the memories section. Elma was the fourth child of James Henry and Effie Malinda Nebeker Barney. She was born June 14, 1913 in Annabella, Sevier County, Utah. She had two older brothers, Von and Dewite, an older sister Lora, and five younger sisters: Hazel, Reva, Vivin, Edith, and Martha Barney. Elma grew up in Annabella, but lived in Sutherland for a few months as a child when her father taught school there. He left teaching and became a farmer. Elma attended elementary school in Annabella. Von wrote: “Elma was the odd one of the family. She was mostly Nebeker and the rest of us were Barneys. She talked younger and better than any of us did. She sounded like an adult when Mother still carried her in her arms. She was bossy and acted like a Nebeker, too.” Elma’s parents were faithful members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church on August 6, 1921 at age eight. The Barney family raised a big garden and fields of sugar beets each summer. Elma worked with them thinning, hoeing, and topping sugar beets. After doing their own fields, they worked in other people’s beets in Annabella, Monroe, Central, and Venice. Hazel wrote that during hay time, “Elma and I helped after the boys grew up and left home. Elma would help pitch and stack the hay and I would tromp it and drive the derrick horses. . . .” The Barney family had good times in the evenings when their father would sit in a rocking chair with a child on his lap, others sitting on the arms of his chair, the rest sitting around the room. He played the harmonica while the children sang or sang with them. Their mother did not sing much as she didn’t think she could. Elma graduated from Richfield Senior Seminary on May 11, 1930. The Richfield Reaper mentions Elma’s name several times during the next few years. In 1931, she attended parties and gave a talk in the Conjoint program given by the M Men and Gleaner girls. In April, the Monroe High School Pepettes Club was entertained at Annabella by Elma and two other girls. An article announced the graduates of the three high schools in Sevier valley in 1931 and Elma’s name was on the Monroe list. In 1932, she gave another talk, spent a few weeks in Moroni with friends, stayed with the Simonsen family in Salt Lake City for a few weeks. The county auditor’s report for 1932 gave salaries of the county treasurer’s office and listed Elma Barney $15.00. The county assessor’s office showed her father, James Barney $37.00. What they did to earn this money was not mentioned, but these were Depression years and jobs were hard to find. In 1933 and 1934, the Reaper said Elma spent some months in Salt Lake City. In December, 1934, she returned from a week in Delta and her parents entertained relatives at a turkey dinner. Shortly after this, in January, 1935, Elma’s father became very ill. He was taken to Salt Lake City where he had surgery for a brain tumor, but doctors could not help him. He died at home in Annabella on April 12, 1935. Elma was 21 years old at the time. In the fall, she went to Delta to work and in 1936, she worked in Richfield. In December, 1936, she spent a few days with friends at Payson. When she met Rex Cloward is not known, but the Reaper reported in January, 1937, that he spent “the last of the week” as a guest of Elma in Annabella. The January 21, 1937, issue showed their names under marriage licenses issued. Elma and Rex Coray Cloward were married in Richfield, Utah, on January 15, 1937. Rex was born in Payson, Utah, on October 17, 1914. He was the second child born to Charles Edgar Cloward, Jr. and Eppie Lydia Coray Cloward. A wedding reception took place in the Annabella Amusement Hall to honor Elma and Rex after their marriage. The Payson news in the Provo Evening Herald of February 3, 1937, said, “Mrs. C. E. Cloward, Jr. entertained at a bridal shower Saturday night at the Strawberry Hotel in honor of Mrs. Rex Cloward, formerly Miss Elma Barney of Annabella, Utah. Her marriage to Rex Cloward, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Cloward, Jr. took place recently at Richfield. Guests at the shower included 25 close relatives and friends of the family. Luncheon was served at small tables after which progressive table games were played. Prizes were awarded to Mrs. Laban Harding and Mrs. Gould Dixon. The bride was presented many lovely and useful gifts.” Elma and Rex made their home in Payson, Utah. They became the parents of a son, Robert (Bob) in about 1938, a son, Chad B., in 1942, and a daughter, Carol Jean, born in 1947, in Payson. Elma worked as a licensed practical nurse at the Utah State Hospital in Provo for more than 18 years. Rex worked for U.S. Steel Corporation at Geneva Works until retirement. At Elma’s funeral, a friend gave a tribute to her which included these thoughts: “. . . Elma . . . was my friend from the time we moved down by Clowards all through these 38 years. I always knew that she was glad to see or hear from me, as I was her. Once you had Elma for a friend, it was for always. . . “When our boys who were in Junior High would go to play basketball at the third ward church, and Roy and Rex were working the swing shifts, Elma and I would get together and really enjoy an hour or two visiting. But she would say, ‘Come on down to my place as Carol Jean needs to go to bed on time and I won’t leave her alone.’ She was a very loving, caring mother. Her children’s needs were upmost always. Whatever she could do to help them then, and on through the years, was her desire. As the grandchildren have come along, they, too, have been her joy. . . ‘At Christmas time when the granddaughters were little, how thrilled she was for me to come down after work at Wilson’s to see the beautiful dolls she had got for them. She didn’t think much about things she wanted, but only about what she could give to others. One thing, no, two things I remember her wanting, and how pleased and happy she was when Rex had worked hard to finish them. One was when her kitchen was extended a few feet. . . The other was when she wanted the front room larger, so Rex took out the wall of the front bedroom and made a long lovely living room. . . “You never met Elma that she didn’t give you a compliment. She always saw something that was nice and told you so. Del Rae says she always felt better after seeing Elma because she made you feel good about yourself. I have never heard her ever say a malicious thing about anyone in all these years. “Many times in our phone conversations she has expressed how good Rex has been to her and how when Rex needed surgery that she wished she could take care of him as he did her. She was so grateful for your love and kindness, Rex, and how she appreciated the granddaughter coming over to stay with her while Rex was in the hospital and Chad has been able to help out a while. She would tell me of her family and how much love they had for each other. She spoke a lot about Hazel and the fun things they used to do. And she spoke so fondly of her mother. She truly loved you, every one.” Elma died August 23, 1990, at Mountain View Hospital in Payson after a long illness. She was 77 years old. She was buried August 27, 1990, in Payson. She was the second of the Barney children to die. Her brother Dewite died in 1982 and the others survived her. Rex lived nine more years. He died May 9, 1999, in Payson and was buried May 16, 1999, in the Payson cemetery.

I have never heard her ever say a malicious thing about anyo ne in all these years. “Many times in our phone conversations she has expressed how good Re x has been to her and how when Rex needed surgery that she wished sh e could take care of him as he did her. She was so grateful for your l ove and kindness, Rex, and how she appreciated the granddaughter comin g over to stay with her while Rex was in the hospital and Chad has bee n able to help out a while. She would tell me of her family and how m uch love they had for each other. She spoke a lot about Hazel and th e fun things they used to do. And she spoke so fondly of her mother . She truly loved you, every one.” Elma died August 23, 1990, at Mountain View Hospital in Payson afte r a long illness. She was 77 years old. She was buried August 27, 19 90, in Payson. She was the second of the Barney children to die. He r brother Dewite died in 1982 and the others survived her. Rex lived nine more years. He died May 9, 1999, in Payson and was buri ed May 16, 1999, in the Payson cemetery. This history was compiled in 2018 by a niece, Grace Diane Jessen | Barney, Elma (I84536)

| 3396 | This is a brief sketch of the life of Hazel Barney Peterson. More stories and photos are in the memories section. Hazel Barney was the fifth child of James Henry Barney and Effie Malinda Nebeker Barney. She was born in Annabella, Utah, on September 13, 1915, while her father was teaching school in Sutherland, Utah. A postcard was mailed to notify him of her birth. Soon after Hazel's birth, her mother Effie moved with her five children, Von, Lora, Dewite, Elma and Hazel, to live with Jim in Sutherland. They returned to Annabella in the spring and that is where Hazel grew up. Four younger sisters, Reva, Vivin, Edith, and Martha joined the family, so Hazel was the middle one of nine. She started school in Annabella in 1921. On May 31, 1924, at age 8, she was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She regularly attended church with her family and started teaching Primary when she was only 14 years old. Her father taught Hazel to play the harmonica when she was a girl. She played it in many programs through the years. Hazel's father left teaching and became a farmer. She worked with her family in the garden and hay and sugar beet fields. She was happy to be trusted to drive the horses and take a load of beets to the beet dump. Hazel was young when doctors said she had a serious heart condition and advised a year of rest. Perhaps that helped, for as she got older, she was a quick and diligent worker. She did housework for people, clerked in a store, picked turkeys, and worked at Ruby's Inn at Bryce Canyon for two summers after she graduated from high school. Hazel studied hard to keep at the head of her class in school. The schools had competitions in sports and studies which was called Sevier Day. She entered English, spelling, arithmetic and usually placed very high. She enjoyed taking part in one-act and three-act plays. In January, 1935, Hazel's father became very ill. He had surgery in salt Lake City for a brain tumor. She was a big help to her mother during his illness. He died at home on April 12, 1935, when Hazel was 19 years old. Hazel met Evan W. Peterson in January, 1937, on the night of her sister Elma's wedding reception in Annabella. Hazel and Evan dated for nearly three years and were married September 9, 1939, in the City and County Building in Salt Lake City, Utah. Bishop Johnas Harter, the county clerk, performed the ceremony. On April 16, 1940, they went to the Manti Temple to be sealed for time and eternity. Evan and Hazel first lived in a two-room house in Glenwood that they rented from Evan's uncle, Dancil Peterson. They lived there two years. The Depression was just ending when they got married. Evan thought he had a job in the Marysvale mines, but it fell through and they were very poor. They got a jersey cow from Lora and Ardell Knight which gave them milk, butter, and cream. Evan's father had grass hay to feed the cow. Uncle Dancil was lenient on the rent. Evan and Hazel sawed wood and made butter to help pay the rent. Evan worked at any job he could find. He topped beets, sheared sheep, tied fleece, and tromped wool. He worked on the road over the mountain between Glenwood and Annabella. He worked checking flowing wells in the county. These were WPA or federal jobs. Evan and Hazel ate a meal with Evan's parents about every other day. Their main diet for some time was macaroni, milk, cream, and butter. During these trying circumstances, their first child, Phyllis, was born in March, 1941. The doctors told Hazel she should have no more children as it would be better to have only one child and live to raise her. Evan found work in Magna about this time. He worked for Utah Construction Company and then Kennecott Copper Corporation. A son, Larry, was born in Richfield in June, 1942. The Petersons lived in Magna for a few years, but when a major strike was called in February, 1946, they returned to Glenwood to live. They bought an old adobe home and moved in. Evan worked for Jensen Brothers Construction and for Breinholt Construction. He learned to lay bricks and helped build many homes and businesses in Richfield. Phyllis and Larry begged for a baby brother or sister and they were delighted when a sister, Lavonne, was born in September, 1948, in Richfield. Evan began to build a new home in front of the old adobe house. He built the basement first and the family lived in it for nine years while he worked on finishing the home above it. They were happy when they moved upstairs. Evan and Hazel were active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and both served in leadership positions. Hazel was assistant supervisor and supervisor of the Junior Sunday School for two years. She worked in Primary, Sunday School, and Mutual as counselor, teacher, and secretary. She was Relief Society secretary to four presidencies and served as counselor, lesson leader, work director, and visiting teacher. When she lived in Magna, she was a Junior Sunday School teacher. Evan worked at Bestwall Gypsum plant in Sigurd for several years. Hazel worked in a sewing plant making jackets for a time. She and Evan were close and had a good marriage. They just wanted to be together. They were kind and loving parents and raised their children well. They also helped Hazel's mother in many ways and cared for Evan's father when he was ill. Eventually, Hazel needed a heart operation. Dr. Russell M. Nelson performed the surgery and replaced a valve in her heart with one from a pig. It was successful and she recovered. Just before the surgery, S. Dilworth Young gave her a priesthood blessing and she felt she was greatly blessed as the expected complications did not occur. She resumed her busy, active life. Evan was at work at the gypsum plant on June 14, 1966, when he had a heart attack. The doctor gave no hope for his recovery, but on July 4, he seemed well enough to go home from the hospital. On July 7, he had another heart attack at home and died before help could come. He was 49 years old. This was a great blow to Hazel. Her mother, Effie, came to Glenwood to live with her for a year or two. Effie fell and broke her pelvis and Hazel took good care of her until she learned to walk again. Hazel went to work as a receptionist at the beauty school in Richfield for a time. She had occasional health problems, such as bursitis in her arm and bouts of depression, but she kept going. She was an excellent quilter and she pieced and quilted many beautiful quilts. Hazel's mother died in December, 1968, and Hazel missed her a lot. She became interested in family history and gathered photos and histories. She enjoyed going to the temple whenever she could. Hazel joined Camp Wasatch (later Camp Glen Cove) of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers in May, 1963. She was elected Captain of the camp in May, 1973. She worked hard to recruit new members, inventoried the relics, refinished a cupboard, planted lilac bushes, got men to reshingle the roof of the hall, and cleaned and varnished the DUP monument near Glenwood. Eventually, Hazel sold the home in Glenwood that Evan had built and moved to Sandy, Utah, to be nearer her children and grandchildren. She served in the ward library and worked two days a week in the LDS Church Genealogical Library for many years. On Thursday evenings, she worked at the stake extraction center. She was very proficient and one of the fastest and most accurate workers at entering data into the computer. She quietly did much good for people less fortunate. Then Hazel needed another open-heart surgery. Dr. Russelll M. Nelson again operated on her. He was able to see that the pig valve he had put in her heart was still working fine. He took care of whatever was needed and she again recovered. Phyllis married John Warnick and lived in Farmington, Utah. Larry married Marta Nay and they lived in Sandy. Lavonne married John Marton and moved to Anchorage, Alaska. As her health declined, Hazel went to live in Farmington with Phyllis and John. She died January 1, 1994, in Bountiful, Utah, at age 78. She had been a widow for 27 years. She was buried next to Evan in the Glenwood cemetery on January 4, 1994. This is a brief sketch of the life of Hazel Barney Peterson.

| 3397 | This is a brief sketch of the life of Martha Barney Kerns. More stori es may be found in the Memories section. Martha Barney was the ninth and last child of James Henry Barney and E ffie Malinda Nebeker Barney. She was born in Annabella, Sevier County , Utah, on August 22, 1924. She had two older brothers, Von and Dewit e, and six older sisters, Lora, Elma, Hazel, Reva, Vivin, and Edith. Her brother Von wrote: "I remember what a musical genius Martha was . When only two or three years old, she would get Reva's or Hazel's h armonica and play a tune through on the radio and then she would be ab le to play it from then on." The Barney children enjoyed many evenings at home when their father sa t in a wooden rocking chair with Martha on his lap, Edith, Vivin, or R eva sitting on the arms of the chair, and the rest of the family sitti ng around the room. He played the harmonica and they all sang together . The Barnes were active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter -Day Saints. Martha was baptized and member on April 1, 1933, when sh e was eight years old. Martha's father died April 12, 1935, when she was ten. He had suffere d with a brain tumor for a few months. Times were hard and money scar ce in the years that followed. Martha attended elementary school in Annabella and then went to Monro e for the upper grades. In the summer of 1937, she was secretary o f a first year 4-H cooking club. In 1939, she performed musical numbe rs in a South Sevier Stake seminary program. She sang with two other s and played a cornet duet with Glyde Gleave. Martha and her sister Edith left home and moved to Benecia, California , to help with the war effort. There, they worked in the Benecia Arsen al. Martha linked up 20 mm shells to be used in a machine gun. She w as then promoted to "Gittney driver" (fork lift) loading out trucks an d railroad cars. One day, Martha and Edith were walking down a street when a sailor whi stled at them. That's how they met Donald Everhart Kerns. He was i n the US Navy and was on shore leave. Martha and Don began dating, fe ll in love, and were married June 10, 1942. By state laws, Martha wa s old enough (18), but Don was not 21, so he had to have his parents ' permission. His parents met them in Redding, Shasta, California, fo r the wedding. It appears that when Don shipped out again, Martha went to Cassel an d stayed with Don's parents and helped in the family store. Later, sh e went back to Annabella, Utah, to be with her mother for the birth o f her first child, Donald Lee Kerns. After the war and Don's discharge from the Navy, he went to Annabell a to be with Martha and their son. Then they moved to Big Bend, Califo rnia, where Don worked in a sawmill. They went next to Cassel, Califo rnia, where they took over and operated the family's ranch on the Risi ng River. Their second son, Johney Neal Kerns, was born while they we re there. Don became very ill and could no longer operate the ranch, so they mov ed to Annabella with Martha's family while he recovered. They planne d to return to the ranch, but another relative took it over, so Don an d Martha settled down in Burney, California, where Don found work i n a saw mill. In 1953, Martha and Don took over the family store business in Cassel . This was a rough time for them due to the rundown condition of th e business and a huge debt left by another family member. They worke d hard, long hours to keep the general store, gas and service station , and small restaurant going. Sometimes Martha operated all three b y herself. They also had rental houses and a small motel. Martha di d all the bookings, cleaning, and laundry for the motel. With hard wo rk by all, the business was on its feet and all old bills were paid. While they ran the store, three more sons were born to Martha and Don : Steven Wayne, Charles D., and Randall Dean Kerns. Charles (Chuck ) died at birth. Martha was very active in PTA, Cub Scouts, band and music, and especia lly the local theater. Martha and Don loved taking part in performanc es, doing comical skits, or musical numbers. They, along with their n eighbors, provided a lot of entertainment for people from miles around . Martha was involved with the organization, set up, and production , as well as performance. She involved her sons in performing, too, a nd supported them in their school activities. In about 1967, Martha and Don leased the family store and moved to the ir Families Creek property about two miles away and relaxed. Then, th ey returned to the store property. In the mid 1970's, they leased the property and started to build a ne w home not far from the store. They spent the winters in Arizona an d St. George, Utah, enjoying life and retirement. While in St. Georg e, they did a lot of temple work. In 1979, the lease on the store fell through, so their son Donald Le e took over the business to relieve them from having to go back to wor k. Martha still went almost every day to help all she could and giv e Donald a break. The four sons grew up and married. Randy lived and worked in Hat Cree k, California, as a mechanic and tree specialist. In 1987, at age 29 , he was killed in an accident while fighting a forest fire. Don and Martha received their temple endowments and were sealed togeth er on June 11, 1985, in the Oakland California temple. Don died in San Francisco, California, on April 21, 1997, at age 73 . He was buried in the Burney, Shasta, California cemetery. Martha l ived 11 years more as a widow. She died October 7, 2008, in Californi a at age 84. She was buried in Burney beside her husband. | Barney, Martha (I84476)

| 3398 | This is a brief sketch of the life of Reva Barney Brown. More stories may be found in the Memories section. Reva Barney was born in Annabella, Sevier County, Utah, on November 28, 1917. She was the sixth of nine children born to James Henry and Effie Malinda Nebekere Barney. She had two older brothers, Von and Dewite, three older sisters, Lora, Elma, and Hazel, and three younger sisters, Vivin, Edith, and Martha. Of her childhood, Reva wrote: "My first recollection is the four youngest sitting on Papa's knees and on the arm of a wooden rocking chair rocking and singing for an hour before we were put to bed. The songs he taught us, I think he made up as I have sung them to people who have never heard them. Then on other nights he taught us to play the harmonica. In school, they had a fifth and sixth grade harmonica band, but all of us kids entered it in first grade as we played so good. "Mother was a lady. I never heard her use slang or swear and she held her temper so well. I told Von once I wished I could control my temper like Mother. She was indeed a fine lady. "Us kids would be playing out on the lawn and she would come and say, 'Come in now.' We would groan, 'Mama, we were having fun!' She would always say, 'But there's an old gentleman coming up the road,' so in the house we went. Believe it or not, I was in the seventh grade when I learned an old gentleman was a bull. We lived a protected life." Reva's father was a school teacher and then turned to farming. The Barney children learned to work at a young age. They raised a large garden as well as sugar beets which they thinned, hoed, and topped. They worked in the sugar beet fields for other people in nearby towns, too. They had Holstein dairy cows that needed to be milked night and morning. When the men were not around or needed help, Reva and Hazel did the milking. They took turns helping with the housework, too. The Barney family were faithful members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Reva was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church on June 5, 1926, when she was eight years old. Reva attended elementary school in Annabella, then completed her education in Monroe, Utah. Her father died of a brain tumor on April 12, 1935, when Reva was 17 years old. This was a very difficult time for the Barney family and money was scarce. Reva met Cazell R. Brown when he came to live in Annabella with his great-grandpa and great-grandma Brown so he could attend high school in Monroe. His family lived in Greenwich, Utah, and there was no high school there. Cazell was very bashful. Reva saw him doing something and she showed him how to do it faster or better and they started talking. That's how they started going together. Cazell was a year older, but they were in the same grade. She helped him and they both graduated from South Sevier High School in 1937. That summer, Reva visited the Brown family in Greenwich. Cazell's mother did not like Reva and did not want Cazell to marry her. Cazell and Reva decided to elope and drove to Salt Lake City on Labor Day weekend. Everything was closed for the holiday, so they drove back to Richfield. They got married at the courthouse on September 1, 1937. The Annabella news in the Richfield Reaper reported that the ceremony was performed by LaRell Nebeker, Justice of the Peace. It also said, "Mrs. Barney entertained at a dance and shower Tuesday evening in honor of the young couple. Many friends from neighboring towns attended the dance." The Koosharem news also mentioned the wedding: "Many friends and relatives from Grass Valley attended the dance and shower given in the Annabella Amusement Hall in honor of the marriage of Miss Reva Barney, daughter of Mrs. Effie Barney of Annabella, and Cazell Brown, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ken Brown of Greenwich." Cazell and Reva made their home in Magna, Utah, for most of their married life. They became the parents of three daughters, RaeZell, Charlene, and Judy Ann, and one son, Richard Kay Brown. RaeZell was born in the hospital on the third floor of the bank building in Richfield in November, 1938. When RaeZell was in the first grade, she went the first part of the school year in Magna and the second part of the year in Annabella. World War II was going on and Cazell thought he was going in the army so he moved the family to Annabella. They lived in a two-story home just south of his great-grandparents' home and a block east of the church. When RaeZell was part way through second grade, he learned that he did not have to go in the army, so the family moved back to Magna and RaeZell finished second grade there. Cazell worked for Kennecott Copper and the Browns lived in a house on the west side of Magna for a few years. Then they moved to a house on Main Street and from there to a house south of Cyprus High School which became their permanent home. Reva worked at a facility in Magna making bullets for the army for a time. Cazell took a second job delivering mail for the post office. He worked at Kennecott at night, came home and delivered mail, slept for a few hours, then went back to Kennecott. On September 1, 1954, Cazell and Reva received their endowments in the Salt Lake Temple and were sealed to each other for time and eternity. Cazell was also sealed to his parents that day. In about 1959, Cazell and Reva were planning a trip to England on a Kennecott excursion. Cazell got a physical examination which showed he had prostate cancer, fairly advanced. The doctor gave him three months to live, but said to go ahead and go to England and if he died there, his body could be shipped home. Cazell visited an old Indian friend from his childhood in Koosharem who suggested he try an old Indian remedy of drinking chaparral tea twice a day. Cazell drank the tea, he and Reva went on the trip, and had a good time. Some time after they got home, the doctor called. Cazell went for a checkup and there was no sign of cancer. He continued to drink chaparral tea and lived many more years. RaeZell, Charlene, and Judy grew up and married and gave Cazell and Reva nine grandchildren to love and enjoy. In 1968, Reva's mother, Effie, became very ill. Reva and Cazell took her to their home and tenderly cared for her during her last months. She died in Salt Lake City on December 3, 1968. A few months later in 1969, their only son, Richard Kay, was in a motorcycle accident and died at age 20. This was a great loss to all of the Brown family. Reva and Cazell were always generous, kind, and willing to help others. At one time, they took a nephew into their home when he needed a little help. Reva's sister, Vivin, said that Reva was a good driver and she was not scared to drive in the city. When she got older, she was declared legally blind, but could still drive. Reva died of congestive heart failure on February 18, 1998, in West Valley City, Salt Lake County, Utah. She was 80 years old. She was buried in Larkin Sunset Gardens in Sandy, Utah. Soon after her death, Cazell went to live with RaeZell and Aaron in Cedar City. He was there about three months and died on May 26, 1998. He was buried beside Reva in Larkin Sunset Gardens.This is a brief sketch of the life of Reva Barney Brown. More storie s may be found in the Memories section.

We lived a protected life." Reva's father was a school teacher and then turned to farming. The Bar ney children learned to work at a young age. They raised a large gard en as well as sugar beets which they thinned, hoed, and topped. The y worked in the sugar beet fields for other people in nearby towns, to o. They had Holstein dairy cows that needed to be milked night and mo rning. When the men were not around or needed help, Reva and Hazel di d the milking. They took turns helping with the housework, too. The Barney family were faithful members of the Church of Jesus Chris t of Latter-Day Saints. Reva was baptized and confirmed a member of t he Church on June 5, 1926, when she was eight years old. Reva attended elementary school in Annabella, then completed her educa tion in Monroe, Utah. Her father died of a brain tumor on April 12, 1 935, when Reva was 17 years old. This was a very difficult time for t he Barney family and money was scarce. Reva met Cazell R. Brown when he came to live in Annabella with his gr eat-grandpa and great-grandma Brown so he could attend high school i n Monroe. His family lived in Greenwich, Utah, and there was no hig h school there. Cazell was very bashful. Reva saw him doing somethin g and she showed him how to do it faster or better and they started ta lking. That's how they started going together. Cazell was a year old er, but they were in the same grade. She helped him and they both gra duated from South Sevier High School in 1937. That summer, Reva visited the Brown family in Greenwich. Cazell's mot her did not like Reva and did not want Cazell to marry her. Cazell an d Reva decided to elope and drove to Salt Lake City on Labor Day weeke nd. Everything was closed for the holiday, so they drove back to Richf ield. They got married at the courthouse on September 1, 1937. The Annabella news in the Richfield Reaper reported that the ceremon y was performed by LaRell Nebeker, Justice of the Peace. It also said , "Mrs. Barney entertained at a dance and shower Tuesday evening in ho nor of the young couple. Many friends from neighboring towns attende d the dance." The Koosharem news also mentioned the wedding: "Many friends and rela tives from Grass Valley attended the dance and shower given in the Ann abella Amusement Hall in honor of the marriage of Miss Reva Barney, da ughter of Mrs. Effie Barney of Annabella, and Cazell Brown, son of Mr . and Mrs. Ken Brown of Greenwich." Cazell and Reva made their home in Magna, Utah, for most of their marr ied life. They became the parents of three daughters, RaeZell, Charle ne, and Judy Ann, and one son, Richard Kay Brown. RaeZell was born i n the hospital on the third floor of the bank building in Richfield i n November, 1938. When RaeZell was in the first grade, she went the first part of the sc hool year in Magna and the second part of the year in Annabella. Worl d War II was going on and Cazell thought he was going in the army so h e moved the family to Annabella. They lived in a two-story home jus t south of his great-grandparents' home and a block east of the church . When RaeZell was part way through second grade, he learned that he di d not have to go in the army, so the family moved back to Magna and Ra eZell finished second grade there. Cazell worked for Kennecott Copper and the Browns lived in a house o n the west side of Magna for a few years. Then they moved to a hous e on Main Street and from there to a house south of Cyprus High Schoo l which became their permanent home. Reva worked at a facility in Magna making bullets for the army for a t ime. Cazell took a second job delivering mail for the post office. H e worked at Kennecott at night, came home and delivered mail, slept fo r a few hours, then went back to Kennecott. On September 1, 1954, Cazell and Reva received their endowments in th e Salt Lake Temple and were sealed to each other for time and eternity . Cazell was also sealed to his parents that day. In about 1959, Cazell and Reva were planning a trip to England on a Ke nnecott excursion. Cazell got a physical examination which showed h e had prostate cancer, fairly advanced. The doctor gave him three mon ths to live, but said to go ahead and go to England and if he died the re, his body could be shipped home. Cazell visited an old Indian friend from his childhood in Koosharem w ho suggested he try an old Indian remedy of drinking chaparral tea twi ce a day. Cazell drank the tea, he and Reva went on the trip, and ha d a good time. Some time after they got home, the doctor called. Caz ell went for a checkup and there was no sign of cancer. He continue d to drink chaparral tea and lived many more years. RaeZell, Charlene, and Judy grew up and married and gave Cazell and Re va nine grandchildren to love and enjoy. In 1968, Reva's mother, Effie, became very ill. Reva and Cazell took h er to their home and tenderly cared for her during her last months. S he died in Salt Lake City on December 3, 1968. A few months later in 1969, their only son, Richard Kay, was in a moto rcycle accident and died at age 20. This was a great loss to all of t he Brown family. Reva and Cazell were always generous, kind, and willing to help others . At one time, they took a nephew into their home when he needed a li ttle help. Reva's sister, Vivin, said that Reva was a good driver and she was no t scared to drive in the city. When she got older, she was declared l egally blind, but could still drive. Reva died of congestive heart failure on February 18, 1998, in West Va lley City, Salt Lake County, Utah. She was 80 years old. She was bur ied in Larkin Sunset Gardens in Sandy, Utah.

| 3400 | This is a record for the wife of Henry Brooks. The name of his first wife has not been proven. She was NOT Grace who who was the wife of Thomas Brooks. Henry Brooks married (1), probably by 1622 in England, an unnamed first wife with whom he had all of his 8 known children. (see Cutter & Loring, Brooks Family of Woburn (1904), 3-4, Henry (1.) Brooks. and Torrey, New England Marriages, 102, Henry Brooks.) It is assumed that this unnamed first wife died about 1650 as her youngest child was born in 1641 and her husband remarried in 1651. | Wheeler, Sarah (I51568)
