  Lafayette and Hettie Carter lived just down the hill from Carterville Road about a mile from the Provo River. They were both children of Mormon pioneers. Lafe’s parents left the church and he was never a member of any church. Hettie was a granddaughter of John Tanner; the same John Tanner that arrived in Kirtland in time to save the temple property from foreclosure. In 1920 a daughter was born to them, giving them two boys and two girls. They named her Aldoria. She is my Mom. In her personal history she wrote: “My father never went to meeting but Mama seldom missed. She would walk the mile and a half taking us children. I’ve been told that the day I was blessed Mama walked and carried me.” Life in the Carter home in the 1920’s was different than what most of us have known. They had no electricity - no refrigerator, no washing machine, no iron, no radio. For many of those years no water in the house either. In the fall her father would kill a pig which her mother preserved by bottling or salting. (Remember there was no freezer). The family always had a cow. This provided milk, cream, and butter. Washing was an all day job as water was pumped from a well and then heated on the coal stove. Clothing and linens were then washed by hand and hung out to dry. I was fascinated by my Grandmother’s close line. It was on pulleys, one mounted on a corner of the house and the other at the top of a tall pole near the road. It would carry the laundry high above the front lawn. Quoting again from Mom’s history: “The kitchen in the winter was the only warm room. The chores were done early, before dark. Supper was at five o’clock, except on Primary days when it was a little later. I think Mama always worked in Primary. We had many long winter evenings. I remember the coal oil lamp that sat in the middle of the kitchen table. A good fire burned in the kitchen stove. Papa used to sit by the stove shaking popcorn over the fire. We ate the popcorn and apples. Mother read to us. . . . It was Papa who played “Steal the Pile” and helped us with our arithmetic. “When we got electricity I was in my teens. Uncle Otto and Aunt Zona were visiting. He thought it was awful that we didn’t have electricity. He wanted to wire our house so Papa got the material and he went to work. After they left and the job was inspected it wouldn’t pass. But the job was started and Papa hired someone to come and do the wiring. How thankful we were to have lights and soon afterwards a washer, refrigerator, radio and iron.” Mom had a loving home as part of her happy childhood. She enjoyed school, interrupted when she was in the fourth grade by rheumatic fever. She missed half of the school year. Her history speaks fondly of her years in junior high and high school, “the dances, ball games, assemblies, special cheerleaders, and plays.” Returning to her history: “Mother kept us active in Church and I had many wonderful teachers. . . . We always had Sunday School at 10 o’clock Sunday morning. There would be a song and prayer, then the Sacrament Gem preceded the Sacrament and two 2 ½ minute talks would be given before we went to class. I was always volunteering to say the Sacrament Gem, often it was a verse of a Sacrament song. “Mama always worked in Primary and Relief Society. She taught the Scouts for years, then she was secretary for both Relief Society and Primary. At that time she and Nelda were both secretaries. . . . I never wanted to be a Secretary. At 15 I was teaching the 7 and 8 year olds in Sunday School and since then I have usually held some position in the Church.” Mom attended Brigham Young University. After three years she got her teaching certificate and in 1942 she went to Kamas to teach school. She lived with the George and Elaine Padfield for the five years that she taught school. At this point I must share a story from her history. “Laddle Russell was the principal of the grade school where I taught. He willingly helped beginning teachers with problems and also helped us enjoy life. Many were the little tricks and stories he sent our way. One morning I found a nest of mice in my desk and we boxed them up. Wrapped and tied with fancy ribbon, we sent them to Mr. Russell. A few hours later we received a beautiful box of candy with the following note. ‘Dear Teachers, How could you have guessed? It was something I’ve wanted all my life. After all it’s the little things in life that count. This gift doesn’t nearly repay . . .’ .” They weren’t sure about eating that candy. In 1947, after 5 years in Kamas, the Bishop asked Mom to accept a mission call. She had an appointment with Harold B. Lee who was visiting for Stake conference. He asked her to go on a mission and she accepted the call. She says in her history, “When I left the church I was in a fog. I knew I’d go but I didn’t know how. I stepped in a ditch.” Because her father was not a member of the Church, Mom was not comfortable asking him to support her on a mission. Her teacher’s salary had all been used for board and room. She had no savings. The Kamas Ward held a farewell and money was given to her. Elaine Padfield had a shower for her which supplied clothing - even nylons that were hard to get at the time. Back home in Carterville, the ward had just been divided. Both wards also held farewell’s and more money was given to her. When she left for the Texas-Louisiana Mission she had over $2,000 in the bank, enough to pay for her mission, buy a new coat when she got home, and have her tonsils out. Even though Mom had been unsure of how her father would feel about her serving a mission and she did not ask him for money, it always meant a great deal to her that one of the last things he said to her was, “If you need money let me know, I can sell an acre if I need to.” Aldoria’s mission was a defining event in her life. Not only did it confirm and strengthen her testimony of the Restored Gospel and Christ, it was also the place where she met Elder Max Ward. They both served for several months in San Antonio, then he was transferred to Houston. Their mission president told each missionary as they came into the mission field that if they fell in love while there, he wanted to hear about it from them. She wrote a letter to her mission president and we still have the letter he wrote to her in reply. Aldoria and Max never were assigned to the same area after that. In 1948 in November, Grandpa died. Mom was released six weeks early. Of her mission she wrote: “How much good I did for others I’m not sure but by tracting, cottage meetings, home primaries, conferences, and just meeting people my testimony grew. It was here also that I met Max and after he left the district I was in we became better acquainted through letter writing.” The letter writing continued after she was home and when he was released in February, he stopped in Provo on his way home to Idaho Falls and took her home with him to meet his family. This story is too good not to tell. Here is how Mom told it. “This was 1949, the big winter. We left Provo, but were stopped in Salt Lake. Buses weren’t running. We stayed at my sister Nelda’s that night. The next day we got to Logan and stopped to see Max’s sister, Bonnie, who was going to school. It continued to storm. Buses weren’t running. We stayed there two nights, then continued on to Idaho Falls. It continued to storm; the roads were drifted. We stayed at Eila’s, Max’s cousin in town. The next day Ray, Eila’s husband, took us to Coltman in his car. He followed the milk truck to Hudman’s store. Max’s dad met us in the sleigh and took us out to his place. I met the family and was welcomed.” Years later Aldoria learned that Mother Ward wasn’t too happy that her son brought a girl home with him from his mission. Dad Ward’s only concern was that if there was to be a wedding they needed to get it done before spring planting time. And so it was that a month after being released from his mission, Max and Aldoria were married in the Idaho Falls temple. For eight years, Mom and Dad lived on the family farm in Coltman, Idaho. During that time Mom taught primary, worked in the nursery, and taught in MIA. Then in the summer of 1958 both Max and Aldoria went back to school. They moved with their six children to Orem. We lived with Grandma Carter that summer and when summer ended Mom got her degree and signed a contract to teach in Cedar City. During the next 9 months, Mom did not have a church job. She and Dad struggled to balance a family of six small children (ages 1 to 8) while Dad went to school and Mom taught school. The day after school was out, we returned to Orem. At this time Uncle Wayne paid Dad for his share of the farm. Mom and Dad bought a house and Mom did not work outside of the home. Dad was attending school at BYU. At the end of the year Dad graduated and got a teaching job in Davis county. Cedar City had been challenging, but Dad’s first year teaching was the hardest year. The house in Orem which they thought was sold fell back on them giving them two house payments. Grandma Ward died in February and there were frequent trips to Orem to help Grandma Carter. In September Grandma Carter died. Mom’s first church job in Kaysville was probably teaching primary. In the summer as an activity the children were to make Palestine like houses with milk cartons and salt dough. Mom told the Primary president that she felt she needed to be released. She could not afford the ingredients required to make the salt dough. Of course she was not released; others stepped in to provide the materials for the summer project. Through all of this our family was settling into Kaysville and it wasn’t long before Max and Aldoria felt that Kaysville was where they belonged. In the Kaysville 4th ward Mom taught Primary and Sunday School. She was inservice leader twice, gave Relief Society lessons. She served
