  I, Rosetta Welker Roberts was born on January 5, 1889 in Bloomington, Idaho to Inger Mary Madsen and James Albert Welker, I was the 7th Child. My mother was born in Denmark and when she was 3 years old her parents sold all they had and journeyed to the United States to join up the with LDS saints who were going to Utah. She had a baby sister die and burried along the trail. Her parents walked all the way as they gave all they had to help others who needed help to leave. When they arrived in Utah they settled in what is now known as 12th street in Ogden. They stayed there for awhile and then moved to Idaho areas of Monteplier, Bloomington and Benington. I was born in Benington. My father was born in Pottowattame Co. Iowa on July 6, 1851. He is of Dutch decent. He farmed for most of his life. He was a minute man and body guard for Brigham Young. He also carried the mail over the mountains to Casche Valley and had several exciting and life threatning experiences. In the winter he had to snow shoe to cross the mountains, in the summer he rode his horse. Then as of now, the mail must go through. But a pretty fair haired girl with dancing eyes and feet was the most important thing. Young Jim would take her to the dance at 8 in the evening, dance until 2, take her home, put on his snow shoes, throw the mail over his shoulder and start over the mounain. In the winter it was common to have the temperature register 40 below. They married Feb. 5, 1875. He was 24, she 21. It was the custom for the bride and groom to do the entertaining on their wedding night, so they had a dinner and dance for the whole town. They had a family of 10, 8 girls and 2 boys. The oldest boy drowned at the age of 18 months and my brother melvin died at the age of 19 while serving a mission for the LDS church in Holland. He and another missionary contacted small pox. When I was 14, I went to Montpelier to live with my sister Clara so I could attend better schools. I loved living with Tom and Clara, she was like a mother to me. I had many friends there. In December 1905, I went to Cokeville Wyoming to live with my sister Mary. It was here I met my future destiny. We saw each other first at the railroad station. Will had a big long black pipe in his mouth which did not impress me at all. But he had not yet been affilliated with our church. The next night we were formally introduced at the Character ball. Then the impression was more favorable, almost love at first sight. I invited him to a dance the next friday in Montpelier. He came, and from then on our fate was sealed. Will was baptized 1 year later and became a faithfull and devoted member of the church. Our courship continued for 4 1/2 years. During this time I was living in Idaho and he in Wyoming. We wrote letters and courted on weekends. I taught school for 2 years. On June 22, 1910 we were married in the Logan Temple. We got on the train in Montpelier and went to the Temple alone. After our marriage we returned to Cokeville Wyo and took up a homestead where we built a 4 room log house and lived there for 6 years. Cokeville was typical western town. Cokeville had 5 Saloons, a large hotel and 2 grocery-drygood stores. We also had some thrilling experiences of hold-ups, shootings, killings and bank robberies. We farmed for several years in the Cokeville area and then WW1 broke out and we sold out and moved to Burley where we lived for most of the rest of our lives. Will farmed and was also the Cemetery sexton for 23 years. In 1919 our Wilburn was born, a beautiful baby boy with auburn hair and big brown eyes. He was everything anyone could ask for. He has grown to manhood a fine and honorable man in every way. He was a very amusing little chap and very handsome too. He often heard people remark about his good looks and he really thought he was good looking too, and he ofen amusssed us with his funny remarks. One time we were traveling to Montpelier where we had a flat tire. We were out in the desert and it was hot, so the children got a blanket and hung it over a fence. He watched the other childfren and then said, "I guess I had better put my pretty little face in the shade too." We had 10 children. We lost 2 daughters in seperate fire accidents. Our 4 sons served in the second world war, and all came home safely. We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary in 1960 and served 2 missions for our church serving the Lamonite people, also served several stake missions. We had many, many blessings through out our lives . We had sad times, happy times, good times and hard times, but the Lord was always there with us. If Grandma Rosetta Roberts were here today with us, I am sure she might say something like this... I am so thankful for my grandparents who listened to the LDS missionaries and accepted their message. Because of this we were blessed and our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren have all been blessed. My life was spared many times because of blessings given to me thru the power of the priesthood.
