- 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.
