1 CONC F (SARAH HOOD) AND THE CHILDREN ALLEN, VIRGINIA, AND UNNAME
1 CONC D SON; BUT NOT WILLIAM MARTIN (WHO WAS WORKING IN THE FIEL
1 CONC D WITH HIS DAD) AND JENNY(TOO YOUNG TO DRINK COFFEE)
1 CONT 
1 CONT I now have evidence from civil war records that the 1st wif
1 CONC e was Sarah Hood (not Nancy Geralds) and that the 2nd wif
1 CONC e was Martha L. (Fitz)Geralds. NOT Martha Wheat.
1 CONT 
1 CONT I have not found any evidence for the names of children tol
1 CONC d to me.  I also believe that William M and Susan J. were t
1 CONC he children too young to drink
1 CONT 
1 CONT This is the full story as I know it:
1 CONT 
1 CONT About 1863 just after the Civil war.... A man named Josep
1 CONC h Monroe Thomas lived in Kentucky near one of the largest c
1 CONC aves in the world.  He was a farmer.  He had moved to Kentu
1 CONC cky from Virginia when he was a young boy.  He came to Kent
1 CONC ucky the same way as Dainiel Boone a few yrs before.  He ca
1 CONC me with other families too.  One family (the Hood family) s
1 CONC ettled in the same neighborhood as the Thomas family.  Jose
1 CONC ph fell in love with a girl named Sarah Hood and married he
1 CONC r after serving in the Civil War.  They had 4 children by 1
1 CONC 870.  Joseph was a farmer and he and Sarah didn't have enou
1 CONC gh money to have thier own home, So they lived with some fr
1 CONC iends (the FitzGeralds).  About that time a cousin of the F
1 CONC itzGeralds named Martha came to stay with them, she was abo
1 CONC ut 20 yrs old and helped around the house and do chores an
1 CONC d help with the family.  Martha began to fall in love wit
1 CONC h Joseph.  She was very jealous of Sarah and Martha wante
1 CONC d Joseph for her husband.  There is one thing about Marth
1 CONC a though, She was a witch.  The story goes that she could m
1 CONC ake candles flicker and go out and She also made corn cob
1 CONC s dance on the family table and even jump over the Bible
1 CONC .  One day... perhaps after she had seduced Joseph with a s
1 CONC pell, she cast a spell on the morning coffee.  She wanted t
1 CONC o poisen the mother Sarah and even her children.  The witc
1 CONC h had killed the mother and two of her children.  The young
1 CONC est two children did not drink coffee and were spared.  Onl
1 CONC y 2 yrs later the witch lady married Joseph Thomas and the
1 CONC y had many children.  Years later the witch died.....just a
1 CONC fter the clock struck 12 O'Clock midnight on Halloween!
1 CONT 
1 CONT Although the people in Kentucky were superstitious, I hav
1 CONC e found nothing to disprove this story.
1 CONT 
1 CONT In the 1870 Barren, Ky census there is a James Thomas (I be
1 CONC lieve this should be Joseph) and Sarah living with a Fitzge
1 CONC ralds family.  I believe this is the Joseph M. Thomas famil
1 CONC y for the following reasons:
1 CONT 
1 CONT 1. The youngest 2 children listed as William M. Thomas an
1 CONC d Susan J. Thomas both born abt (+ or - 1yr) 
1 CONT 
1 CONT 2.  The father (listed as James) and mother (Sarah) have th
1 CONC e same birth year and birth sate as Joseph M Thomas and Sar
1 CONC ah Hood
1 CONT 
1 CONT 3.  There are no Joseph Thomas familes in Monroe or Barre
1 CONC n Counties, and no other Thomas familes with matching child
1 CONC ren.  
1 CONT 
1 CONT 4.  The death date of Sarah Hood (9 Sep 1870) is just afte
1 CONC r the 1870 census was taken and a few yrs bef the marriag
1 CONC e of Joseph M. and Martha Geralds
1 CONT 
1 CONT 5.  The Fitzgerald family and the Thomas family are liste
1 CONC d in the same dwelling # and with the only Fitzgerald famil
1 CONC y in Barren, Ky (that I could find) and the added similarit
1 CONC y is that the Fitzgerald wife's name is Martha and the olde
1 CONC st daughter is named Louisa both of whom have a different b
1 CONC irth yr than the second wife of Joseph M. Thomas.  who wa
1 CONC s Martha Louisa Fitzgeralds.
1 CONT 
1 CONT 6.  The residence of Martha Lousia Fitzgeralds at death wa
1 CONC s Cave City, Barren, Ky and the residence of this James an
1 CONC d Sarah Thomas and the Fitzgeralds were in Cave City also
1 CONC .  I have not found a direct conection between this Fitzger
1 CONC alds family and Martha Louisa Fitzgeralds and this was no
1 CONC t her parents according to her death cirtificate, yet it se
1 CONC ems obvious there is a connection.
1 CONT 
1 CONT 7.  This census data and civil war record seem to back up o

1 CONC Families of the Eubank name have lived along the south for
1 CONC k ofHardware from the earliest times.  They sprang from tw
1 CONC o brothers, George and John. It is believedthey came from O
1 CONC range County. In 1758 George bought from James Ireland thre
1 CONC e hundred acres on Beaverdam, not far from the present Soap
1 CONC stone Quarries. The next year John purchased from Matthew J
1 CONC ordan in the same vicinity. The year after the organizatio
1 CONC n of the county, 1746, a John Eubank obtained a grant of ne
1 CONC arlythree hundred acres on Rocky Creek, in its northwest se
1 CONC ction; it is possible he was the same person as the one jus
1 CONC t mentioned.  John died in 1789. His wife's name was Hannah
1 CONC , and his childrenwere John, James, William, Nancy, Elizabe
1 CONC th and Sarah, who were both married to      brothers name
1 CONC d Fortune, a family that lived in the same neighborhood, an
1 CONC d Frances, the wife of a Gilmer. George died in 1802. He an
1 CONC d hiswife Mary had six children, John, Elizabeth, George, F
1 CONC rances, the wife of hercousin, John
1 CONT Eubank, Nancy, the wife of David Watson, and Mary, the wif
1 CONC e of Richard Hazelrig. George also brought up two orphan ch
1 CONC ildren, Nelsonand Sarah Key,  whom he committed to the car
1 CONC e of his daughter Frances and her husband, and for whose su
1 CONC bsequent welfare he made special provision. His twosons, Jo
1 CONC hn and George, had each twelve children.
1 CONT        The Eubanks appear to have been quiet, industrious f
1 CONC armers, fairly prosperous in their worldly affairs. The fam
1 CONC ily particularly marked forits energy and success was tha
1 CONC t of James, son of John. He married Mildred Melton, and had
1 CONT five sons and three daughters. He died in 1821, leaving a c
1 CONC onsiderable estate. Two of his sons, John and George W., to
1 CONC ok advantage of the opening of the Staunton and James Rive
1 CONC r Turnpike, established taverns on the road, and for
1 CONT many years did a large business in the entertainment of tho
1 CONC se transporting the vast amount of produce at that time pas
1 CONC sing between the Valleyand Scottsville.
1 CONT        George married his cousin, Winifred Eubank, and ha
1 CONC d eightchildren. He died in 1841. John married Sarah Strang
1 CONC e, and died without children in 1854.  Emigration to the We
1 CONC st has taken many from the different branches of this famil
1 CONC y, so that comparatively few of the name remain now in th
1 CONC e county.

1 CONC MAHONRI LAZELLE FISH, "ML" & MINNIE ROSE ADAMS 
1 CONT Mahonri, son of John Lazelle Fish and Melvina Cheney
1 CONT Born 22 Oct 1890, Pinedale, Navajo Arizona.
1 CONT Died 26 Jan 1958 Mesa, Maricopa, Arizona.
1 CONT Mahonri, married Minnie rose Adams 23 Dec. 1907
1 CONT Minne was born 6 May 1891, ShowLow AZ
1 CONT Daughter of George Mason Adams & Martha Louise Devey
1 CONT 
1 CONT Shortly after the birth of Mahonri Lazelle at Pinedale, Ari
1 CONC zona to John L. and Melvina Cheney Fish, the family moved t
1 CONC o Holbrook where Mahonri's father worked as a clerk in th
1 CONC e ACMI store there. The John L. Fish family was a happy on
1 CONC e filled with love. All the children were taught the princi
1 CONC ples of the gospel; they were taught to pray and walk uprig
1 CONC htly before the Lord.
1 CONT Mahonri was a happy, good-natured lad with a wonderful sens
1 CONC e of humor. At the age of 13 his mother's untimely death wa
1 CONC s a sobering blow to him. She called him to her bedside an
1 CONC d told him she was dying. Because he was the oldest of he
1 CONC r children. He readily accepted responsibility and with i
1 CONC t matured more rapidly than most boys do. He always felt st
1 CONC rongly the impact of his mother's admonition "be a man."
1 CONT Mahonri remembered his mother vividly and often told other
1 CONC s about her. He says he could remember as a small child see
1 CONC ing her stand on a platform in a long white dress with a ma
1 CONC tching parasol as she sang at the dedication of the Navaj
1 CONC o County Court House in Holbrook. In his memory her appeara
1 CONC nce and singing were as those of and angel. Even as a chil
1 CONC d he felt great pride for his mother. (Taking a cue from hi
1 CONC story, George Gardner, a Great Grandson of Melvina Cheney
1 CONC , sang the Star Spangled Banner at the dedication of the Ne
1 CONC w County Courthouse.)
1 CONT His father was always his stalwart companion as well as a l
1 CONC oving father. John L. was loved by everyone and was well kn
1 CONC own for his steadiness, good nature and devotion to his fam
1 CONC ily and church.  Mahonri, was much like his father.
1 CONT About a year after the death of Mahonri's mother, his fathe
1 CONC r married Julia tanner who readily took Mahonri and his bro
1 CONC thers and sisters to her heart. Nine children were born t
1 CONC o this union, bringing the total to 16 children in the tw
1 CONC o families. If one wanted to start a good fight with Mahonr
1 CONC i all he need do was to refer to any one of the brothers o
1 CONC r sister as "half-brother" or "half-sister".
1 CONT In 1904 John L. moved his family to Show Low, Ariz. where h
1 CONC e again worked for a branch of the ACMI store. It was her
1 CONC e that Mahonri, a lad of 15, first met the 14 year old Minn
1 CONC ie Rose Adams and began a courtship that later resulted i
1 CONC n their marriage. Minnie Rose was the eighth child of a fam
1 CONC ily of 10, born to George Mason Adams and Martha Devey. Bot
1 CONC h her parents were born in England but came to America afte
1 CONC r being converted to Mormonism. They were married in the Sa
1 CONC lt Lake Endowment House and resided at Alpine, Utah until a
1 CONC fter the birth of their second child. Then Minnie's fathe
1 CONC r was called to help settle Northern Arizona. Here he settl
1 CONC ed in Show Low where he served for a while as deputy sherif
1 CONC f and also was instrumental in helping to settle some of th
1 CONC e Indian uprisings in that area.
1 CONT Minnie learned early in life to work, as her parents mainta
1 CONC ined a Forage Station, which catered mostly to the soldier
1 CONC s riding between Fort Apache and Holbrook, Ariz. Her fathe
1 CONC r was a successful rancher and businessman, and although Mi
1 CONC nnie worked hard, as did all her family, they lived comfort
1 CONC ably and enjoyed the necessities and many of the comforts t
1 CONC hat few others had at that time. Minnie says she had the be
1 CONC st home a girl could ask for. It was well furnished and kep
1 CONC t immaculately clean and a generous supply of good food wa
1 CONC s always available.
1 CONT Minnie was a "Tom-boy" and liked to ride donkeys or even br
1 CONC oncos. She was game for anything. Her mother often chided h
1 CONC er for her tomboyish ways and urged her to be more lady-lik
1 CONC e. When she was only 15 her mother suffered a stroke from w
1 CONC hich she died when Minnie was 16. Minnie felt keenly her mo
1 CONC ther's passing and missed her companionship. She cared fo
1 CONC r her father and brother Fred until her marriage six month
1 CONC s later. Her father advised against her marrying Mahonri, s
1 CONC aying: "He won't provide for you. All he wants to do is pla
1 CONC y the fiddle." However, Mahonri did provide well for Minnie
1 CONC , but he also played the violin throughout his life.
1 CONT The Fish family had moved to Lakeside about 1905 or 1906 an
1 CONC d it was here that Mahonri made their first home; a storag
1 CONC e barn on his father's place was converted into a dwelling
1 CONC . At the same time they homesteaded on a ranch close to th
1 CONC e Jacques Ranch. The first seven years of their marriage wa
1 CONC s spent on the homestead. They kept their place in Lakeside
1 CONC , and would stay there when they came to town. Mahonri work
1 CONC ed for the Forest Service. During this time, they were buil
1 CONC ding their own home in Lakeside. (This home still stands.
1 CONC ) They did not move into their new home until after the bir
1 CONC th of their third child. The first child was stillborn. Hel
1 CONC ene and glen were very small children when the family move
1 CONC d into the new home. All the other children were born in th
1 CONC is house. Kenner was the fourth child born and he drowned i
1 CONC n a well when he was just a year old. Ford, the next boy, d
1 CONC ied at the age of 12 from blood poisoning. The next 13 year
1 CONC s brought Ross, Beulah, Vance, Beuna Rose and Boyce.
1 CONT Glen, the eldest son, and second child in the family marrie
1 CONC d Hazel West, and they had three sons. Glen died of pneumon
1 CONC ia when he was only twenty-seven. Ross married Bernadine We
1 CONC st and they have six children. Beulah, the second daughter
1 CONC , married Lawrence Lilly and they have 11 children. Vance
1 CONC , the third son, married Winona Massey, and they are the pa
1 CONC rents of 4 children. This marriage ended in divorce and Van
1 CONC ce married a second time to Harriet Davis Smith, a divorce
1 CONC e with two children. Two weeks after Vance's marriage to Ha
1 CONC rriet he was killed in a plane accident. Beuna rose, the yo
1 CONC ungest daughter, married Jesse Grant Hall and they had tw
1 CONC o children. Grant died and Beuna Rose later married Rober
1 CONC t Becker and they have one child.
1 CONT Mahonri loved to play the violin. He never had a music less
1 CONC on in his life, but learned to play very well by ear. Minni
1 CONC e played the piano. At first they played together for fun
1 CONC , but later started playing for dances. Mahonri and Minni
1 CONC e both played for dances before they were married and conti
1 CONC nued after their marriage, playing for dances all over th
1 CONC e White mountain area. As the years went by the Fish Orches
1 CONC tra was known throughout the state of Arizona. Glen, Ross a
1 CONC nd Bernadine, Helen, Beulah, Buena Rose and Boyce all playe
1 CONC d in the family orchestra at one time or another. After Mah
1 CONC onri and Minnie moved to Mesa, they played at the Mezona, W
1 CONC estward Ho and the Odd Fellows, as well as for many churc
1 CONC h dances throughout the Valley of the Sun.
1 CONT As a businessman, Mahonri's life was that of a pioneer lumb
1 CONC erman. Around the year 1918 his father, John L., bought th
1 CONC e sawmill in Lakeside from Dolph Treat. In turn, Mahonri bo
1 CONC ught the mill from his father. This was the start of his sa
1 CONC wmilling career.
1 CONT This mill in Lakeside blew up from the explosion of the boi
1 CONC ler. Mahonri then built a new mill at Woodland. Ten years l
1 CONC ater on Sunday in May, Mahonri and Minnie went into Lakesid
1 CONC e to have their ninth child, Buena Rose, blessed and name
1 CONC d in church. When they came out of church they saw heavy, b
1 CONC lock smoke coming from the direction of Woodland. It was th
1 CONC e mill. Everything they had went up in smoke-the mill, plan
1 CONC er, corral, fences and also the house, which meant that al
1 CONC l their earthly possessions were the clothes on their backs.
1 CONT Mahonri had an outstanding quality that few men possess. H
1 CONC e didn't stop to feel sorry for himself or complain, but be
1 CONC gan with renewed vigor the building of a new mill in Lakesi
1 CONC de. His oldest son, Glen, helped with the building of two s
1 CONC awmills. Glen had sawmill fever as much as his father did
1 CONC . When Glen died in 1939, part of Mahonri died too. They ha
1 CONC d worked side by side and shared the good and bad parts o
1 CONC f sawmilling along with many other things. Glen had been hi
1 CONC s right-hand, and he had so much love for his son-he was ne
1 CONC ver fully reconciled to Glen's death.
1 CONT After the Lakeside mill burned Mahonri built again; that on
1 CONC e burned too. Mahonri and Glen built another mill and plane
1 CONC r, and as fate would have it, they both burned. This mad
1 CONC e a total of four mills destroyed. After the last mill burn
1 CONC ed in Lakeside, Mahonri and Glen built a mill at Ellswort
1 CONC h Hill, between Lakeside and Show Low. Glen did all the eng
1 CONC ineering of this mill, and it was highly successful, but th
1 CONC e timber ran out, so when Ross and Vance, two of the younge
1 CONC r sons, returned from the armed services in 1946, they move
1 CONC d the mill to Heber, Arizona. Ross built this mill with Van
1 CONC ce's help. It is interesting to note here that Vance entere
1 CONC d the Navy in 1943, and Ross entered the Army in 1944. The
1 CONC y had not seen each other for two years, but as a stroke o
1 CONC f fate, they were discharged within two miles of each other
1 CONC , just an hour apart.
1 CONT Mahonri's wife was a real helpmeet in the lumber business
1 CONC . Minnie spent many days and years checking lumber, sittin
1 CONC g on top of a truck or bunk of lumber. She also cooked fo
1 CONC r the sawmill hands in the "cook-shack". She worked side b
1 CONC y side with Mahonri all their married life.
1 CONT In 1943, Mahonri, Minnie and the last two children at home
1 CONC , Beuna Rose and Boyce moved to Mesa. For many years they s
1 CONC pent the winters in Mesa and the summers in Lakeside. The o
1 CONC ld fish home was not sold until after Mahonri's death.
1 CONT In Mesa, Mahonri opened a wholesale-retail lumberyard on Fo
1 CONC urth Avenue and Hibbert. He later added a Sash-and-door dep
1 CONC artment and also built on a large building for the F & M Fu
1 CONC rniture Company.
1 CONT Mahonri's wife, Minnie, and Louise Maier owned and operate
1 CONC d this business for several years, and then Louise sold he
1 CONC r interest to Minnie. Mahonri and Minnie later moved the fu
1 CONC rniture store to east Main Street. They were operating thi
1 CONC s business and also a wholesale business at the time of Mah
1 CONC onri's death in 1958. Two years after Mahonri's death Minni
1 CONC e sold the F&M Furniture Company.
1 CONT The outward carefree expression Mahonri habitually wore oft
1 CONC en belied his inner struggles and tensions related to the g
1 CONC reat responsibilities of his business, the sudden set-back
1 CONC s caused by frequent Disastrous fires, and the losses and t
1 CONC ragedies in his personal life. He wore a perpetual smile an
1 CONC d radiated optimism no matter what his fortunes were at th
1 CONC e moment. This trait generated confidence in his fellow wor
1 CONC kers and business associates who were ever willing to belie
1 CONC ve in his integrity and powers of recovery, and they backe
1 CONC d it up by the necessary financial assistance to give hi
1 CONC m a fresh start.
1 CONT It was this same debonair expression that had misled Minnie
1 CONC 's father into thinking that Mahonri would be an irresponsi
1 CONC ble fiddle-playing non-provider and so opposed their marria
1 CONC ge.
1 CONT When Mahonri passed away Jan. 25, 1958 the Governor of Ariz
1 CONC ona, two Congressmen and the Mayor of Mesa, among other pro
1 CONC minent residents of the State, sent letters or telegrams o
1 CONC f condolence to the widow and family, and praised him for h
1 CONC is pioneer spirit which had helped build Arizona and make i
1 CONC t a better place to live.

1 CONC JOHN LAZELLE FISH FAMILY 
1 CONT 
1 CONT John Lazelle Fish, Son of Joseph Fish and Mary Campbell Ste
1 CONC ele, Born 28 October 1868, Parowan, Iron co., Utah. Died Ma
1 CONC rch 16, 1931 in Long Beach, Los Angeles County, California
1 CONC . Buried in Lakeside, Navajo County, Arizona. Married 7 Se
1 CONC p 1888 to Melvina Cheney in St. George Utah. Melvina Chene
1 CONC y was born 9 Oct 1783, Fairview, Sanpete County, Utah. Sh
1 CONC e was the daughter of Elam Cheney and Harriet Edgehill.  Me
1 CONC lvina died 27 July 1903. John then married Julia Alice Tann
1 CONC er on 1 June 1904.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Pioneer, colonizer, builder, church and civic leader, fathe
1 CONC r of 16 children, John Lazelle Fish had many experiences du
1 CONC ring his 62 years. He was born in the pioneer community o
1 CONC f Parowan, Utah, where he spent the first 10 years of his l
1 CONC ife. His mother died when he was but six years of age. He w
1 CONC as fortunate in having the kind and loving care of his step
1 CONC mother, "Aunt" Eliza, who reared him to maturity.
1 CONT In the winter of 1878 his father, Joseph Fish, moved from P
1 CONC arowan to Snowflake, Arizona, arriving there in January o
1 CONC f 1879. There were cattle and stock to be driven and youn
1 CONC g John was needed to help with his brother, Joseph C. (2 ye
1 CONC ars older) in the often difficult and tiresome task of herd
1 CONC ing and driving the animals on the long trek. He learned ea
1 CONC rly to cope with the harshness and hardships of pioneer lif
1 CONC e.
1 CONT When they arrived in Snowflake the family lived for awhil
1 CONC e in a wagon-box while their father was helping to erect ho
1 CONC mes for others, and then he went into the forest to cut an
1 CONC d trim logs for his own home. The 10-year-old John and hi
1 CONC s 12 year old brother, Joseph, were delegated to haul the f
1 CONC inished logs from Pinedale to Snowflake where the new hom
1 CONC e was to be built. The logs were cut and trimmed to unifor
1 CONC m thickness of 5 inches; even so they were not light burden
1 CONC s for the young boys and often assistance was required in t
1 CONC he loading and unloading of the logs.
1 CONT Schooling was limited at that period both in his Parowan ho
1 CONC me and in the new community, usually covering not more tha
1 CONC n a 3 months period in mid-winter months. The schools wer
1 CONC e also ungraded, but he gladly accepted what was available
1 CONC . He learned very early in life to work on the farm and d
1 CONC o any kind of work that was necessary. The pioneer times ne
1 CONC ver lacked for need of willing hands. Boys learned how to b
1 CONC e useful.
1 CONT At the age of 16, John accompanied his father, Joseph, an
1 CONC d his wife, "Aunt" Julia Ann, and her young children to Mex
1 CONC ico where they hoped to possibly establish a home. John pro
1 CONC ved to be a much needed and welcome hand, caring for the st
1 CONC ock, running errands for the camp, and also standing guar
1 CONC d at night when the Indians were active in raiding and carr
1 CONC ying off the animals.  After nine months of this hard life
1 CONC , his father sent him back to Snowflake in the company of t
1 CONC wo men, "Brothers Taylor and Thompson." Word had been recei
1 CONC ved that the family in Snowflake needed help and Joseph C.
1 CONC , the older brother, was very ill at this time with typhoi
1 CONC d fever, and "Aunt" Adelaide was also very ill. To add to t
1 CONC he problems the Indians were on the rampage throughout th
1 CONC e whole country.
1 CONT On this trip, John's life and the lives of the two men wit
1 CONC h whom he traveled were saved by some trivial delay which c
1 CONC aused them to camp for the night four miles short of the pl
1 CONC ace they had planned to stay. Next day, when they reached t
1 CONC he previously planned campsite they found a murdered travel
1 CONC er who had camped there and who had quite a supply of goods
1 CONC , which had been ransacked and scattered about. It appeare
1 CONC d to be the work of a rather large raiding party. This occu
1 CONC rred somewhere in New Mexico.
1 CONT Upon reaching Snowflake, John became the man of the place u
1 CONC ntil his older brother, Joseph, recovered from his long sie
1 CONC ge of illness. John worked on the farm at Snowflake until h
1 CONC is father moved to Pinedale in the fall of 1886, and then h
1 CONC e worked on the farm there.
1 CONT At Pinedale, he met a charming girl, Melvina Cheney, whom h
1 CONC e courted and married on Sept. 7, 1888 in Holbrook, Arizona
1 CONC , when he was almost 20 and she was but 15. They left late
1 CONC r that month and traveled to St. George, Utah where their m
1 CONC arriage was solemnized Oct. 5, 1888 in the St. George templ
1 CONC e. Aunt Eliza and John's younger sister Jessie May, accompa
1 CONC nied them on the trip to Utah.
1 CONT When John and his wife returned to Pinedale from Utah he ag
1 CONC ain took up farming. Not long afterward he went to work i
1 CONC n the ACMI at Holbrook with his father, where he proved t
1 CONC o be a most accommodating salesman and was well liked by ev
1 CONC erybody. He went back to Pinedale for a few years more wher
1 CONC e he again tried farming and also freighting, before the dr
1 CONC ought forced him to Holbrook again where he resumed workin
1 CONC g in the ACMI. Most of this time he had his family with him
1 CONC , but he was not happy over the environment for his growin
1 CONC g family, and their summers at least were spent on the far
1 CONC m in Pinedale.
1 CONT September 26, 1901 he responded to a call for a short-ter
1 CONC m mission for the Church to help promote the MIA program an
1 CONC d he labored mostly in Malad and other southern Idaho commu
1 CONC nities and Northern Utah.
1 CONT On July 27, 1903 while he was working in Holbrook, John's w
1 CONC ife, Melvina, died at Pinedale, leaving him a family of 7 c
1 CONC hildren, the youngest but 8 months old and the eldest one n
1 CONC ot yet 13 years.  It was at this time that Aunt Eliza cam
1 CONC e with proffered help and took the baby to her home to lov
1 CONC e and care for. Other relatives took some of the other youn
1 CONC ger children for awhile. John married Julia Alice Tanner o
1 CONC n June 1, 1904 and she took his motherless children to he
1 CONC r heart and made a home of love and comfort for them, guidi
1 CONC ng their lives to maturity.
1 CONT In 1904 John moved to Show Low, Arizona and worked in a sto
1 CONC re there for a time. In 1905 or 1906 he joined a group tha
1 CONC t was developing a project about 8 miles southwest of Sho
1 CONC w Low in the forest. John made arrangements to buy the Bill
1 CONC y Scorse place and also took up a homestead in the area. Th
1 CONC e present day school and church house in Lakeside are locat
1 CONC ed on land which was once part of the Fish homestead. Durin
1 CONC g the 25 years or so that he lived in Lakeside he saw it gr
1 CONC ow to a thriving town.
1 CONT There was a "daring" side to John's otherwise gentle nature
1 CONC . His son, John E. "Jack", recalls an incident when he wa
1 CONC s a young man. "Uncle Joe Brewer was riding a beautiful hor
1 CONC se called "Shiner", a horse who could be handled, and fathe
1 CONC r was riding "Sport". (A less tractable horse) And after so
1 CONC me bantering from Joe (a brother-in-law) the two took off o
1 CONC n a race. After going about one half mile, Uncle Joe was lo
1 CONC st to father, but "Sport" had a job to do and he did not in
1 CONC tend being beaten at a race. We had to go and hunt "Daddy"
1 CONC , as we knew "Sport" would not give up. We found father dow
1 CONC n in Forest Dale, miles from home. Father had lost his hat
1 CONC , his pants were torn and there were numerous scratches o
1 CONC n his head and face, from protruding limbs. Father looked q
1 CONC uite pitiful, but in spite of his forlorn appearance we ha
1 CONC d to laugh uproariously, and all Dad said was, "Confound th
1 CONC at fool horse. He shouldn't be on the place!"
1 CONT Another family tradition concerns a story about John when h
1 CONC e was on one of his two trips to Mexico and he insisted o
1 CONC n swimming a flood-swollen river that the local Mexicans sa
1 CONC id no man or horse could swim. This may have been of necess
1 CONC ity when they were traveling in an area where severe rainst
1 CONC orms had plagued them for several days as they attempted t
1 CONC o join up with a group of friends who had a small settlemen
1 CONC t in Sonora, Mexico.
1 CONT John was kind and generous to all and especially to his fam
1 CONC ily, though he could be stern when necessary. One occasio
1 CONC n his two eldest sons, Mahonri and John E. were admonishe
1 CONC d to be in church, but decided otherwise after their fathe
1 CONC r and other members of the family had departed for the meet
1 CONC ing. John was Bishop at this time and when he failed to not
1 CONC e his two sons in the audience he immediately left the meet
1 CONC ing and went to find them, which evidently was not difficul
1 CONC t. He proceeded to take the two boys "by the ear" and escor
1 CONC ted them back to church and right up the middle aisle throu
1 CONC gh the congregation to the pulpit seat where he placed on
1 CONC e boy on each side of him. "Jack" says this discouraged abs
1 CONC enteeism at church for them.
1 CONT John served the community of Lakeside for many years in var
1 CONC ied capacities: as Justice of the Peace, Post Master, Healt
1 CONC h Office, Water Master, and in the Church as MIA leader, Su
1 CONC nday School, ward Clerk and Bishop, the latter for severa
1 CONC l years.
1 CONT He was still bishop of the Lakeside Ward at the time of hi
1 CONC s death in Long Beach, California, March 16, 1931, where h
1 CONC e had gone to secure adequate medical treatment. He seeme
1 CONC d to realize in his last illness that his time was near, an
1 CONC d he wrote a long letter of counsel, encouragement and lov
1 CONC e to his Ward members which his son likened to some of th
1 CONC e Epistles of Paul of Old. He died as he had lived, in th
1 CONC e "harness".

1 CONC MARY CAMPBELL STEELE FISH 
1 CONT BORN 23 Dec. 1840
1 CONT Belefast Ireland
1 CONT 
1 CONT While Joseph Fish kept voluminous records and an almost dai
1 CONC ly diary, the information given about his wives is for th
1 CONC e most part only incidental. Since Mary Campbell Steele die
1 CONC d nearly 100 years ago, no one now living has any recollect
1 CONC ion of her. It is pertinent to her story, however, to giv
1 CONC e a little of her background.
1 CONT Joseph Fish says: "Mary's parents were of Scotch descent, a
1 CONC lthough John Steele may have had some Irish blood in his ve
1 CONC ins." Mary's brother, Mahonri M. Steele, Sr., says, "On mot
1 CONC her's side they claim to be scotch." However, Mary was bor
1 CONC n in Belfast, Ireland and genealogical records show that an
1 CONC cestors on both sides of her family for at least three gene
1 CONC rations were born in Ireland. The fact that Mary's father
1 CONC , John Steele, moved to Glasgow, Scotland shortly after th
1 CONC e birth of his first child (Mary) may indicate that he ha
1 CONC d relatives in Scotland, although; this is only and inferen
1 CONC ce, since we have nothing in writing to substantiate this.
1 CONT In his Journal, John Steele refers to an event that occurre
1 CONC d in 1842 which was to change the direction of his entire l
1 CONC ife. He writes: "I heard of the Book of Mormon by seein
1 CONC g a hand bill posted up purporting to be about an ancient w
1 CONC riting by an ancient people who lived in America, and tha
1 CONC t an angel of God had appeared by whose ministrations the r
1 CONC ecords of Ancient America had been discovered. I borrowe
1 CONC d a Book of Mormon from one Graham Douglas and would retir
1 CONC e to the banks of the Clyde River on the Glasgow Green an
1 CONC d read it through in two weeks. I read Parley P. Pratt's  "
1 CONC Voice of Warning" and attended all their meetings and in fo
1 CONC ur weeks from the first sermon I heard I was baptized."
1 CONT The Impulse was strong to join the Mormons in America and a
1 CONC ccordingly on Jan. 15, 1845 John Steele and his wife and th
1 CONC ree small children embarked from Liverpool, England  "plowi
1 CONC ng away with a good 10 knot breeze for the land of Zion." T
1 CONC hey landed at New Orleans from which place they took a boa
1 CONC t to St. Louis where John and his wife obtained work makin
1 CONC g boots (a trade they had learned in their youth). In Jul
1 CONC y they moved on to Nauvoo where John readily found work i
1 CONC n the boot and shoe factory.
1 CONT Following the martyrdom of Joseph and Hyrum Smith the Steel
1 CONC e family was caught with others in the subsequent confusio
1 CONC n and turmoil in Nauvoo. On Sept. 12, 1845 John Steele join
1 CONC ed the Nauvoo Legion and became a member of the 29th Quoru
1 CONC m of Seventies.
1 CONT In mid December of 1845 the two youngest children, Joh
1 CONC n 3  and Margaret 1  years, both died within a week of eac
1 CONC h other. (Could this have been the result of an epidemic?
1 CONC ) No doubt little 5 year old Mary, the eldest child, must h
1 CONC ave seemed doubly dear to her parents at this time of berea
1 CONC vement.
1 CONT John Steele and his family were still in Nauvoo until May 1
1 CONC 846, when they, too, were finally forced to leave. Having n
1 CONC o team or wagon of his own he hired passage in the wagon o
1 CONC f Samuel Burgess, paying by making boots and shoes for th
1 CONC e Burgess family.
1 CONT The five year old Mary was subjected to the rigors and hard
1 CONC ships of the expulsion from Nauvoo. With no conveyance of t
1 CONC heir own the Steele family may have experienced even more d
1 CONC ifficult living conditions than the average family at tha
1 CONC t time. It is possible that the hardships of this period co
1 CONC mbined with the lack of sufficient food may have become a c
1 CONC ontributing factor in the poor health, which Mary suffered
1 CONC , in later life.
1 CONT When the Mormon Battalion was formed in mid July, 1846, Joh
1 CONC n Steel was one of its members and his wife, Catherine, an
1 CONC d small daughter Mary, were among the few women and childre
1 CONC n who were allowed to accompany their husbands on this hist
1 CONC oric military march. Women and children were mentioned onl
1 CONC y incidentally in most of the biographies of our pioneer fa
1 CONC thers, but it would be difficult to try to visualize the ex
1 CONC periences of a 5 year old girl being carried along on suc
1 CONC h an expedition.
1 CONT When the order was given at Santa Fe, NM to send the sick m
1 CONC en and all the wives who accompanied the expedition thus fa
1 CONC r, back, and not allow them to continue on the grueling jou
1 CONC rney to California, John Steele found himself among other m
1 CONC en in a dilemma. He insisted that his wife and child shoul
1 CONC d not be sent back without adequate protection, with only w
1 CONC omen and sick men in the company. And through sheer audacit
1 CONC y and courage he won permission for himself and several oth
1 CONC er able-bodied men to accompany the "Sick" expedition north
1 CONC ward, through Colorado and toward the Great Salt Lake Valle
1 CONC y, where they hoped to join the vanguard of the earliest Pi
1 CONC oneers with Pres. Brigham Young. They arrived in Salt Lak
1 CONC e Valley only six days after Pres. Brigham Young's group ha
1 CONC d entered the Valley.
1 CONT On August 9 1847 Mary's younger sister, YOUNG ELIZABETH STE
1 CONC ELE was born, the first white child born in the Valley! (Sh
1 CONC e was named in honor of President Brigham Young).
1 CONT After enduring the hardships attendant to the first years i
1 CONC n Salt Lake Valley when reasonable prosperity seemed abou
1 CONC t to dawn upon them, John Steele was called by President Yo
1 CONC ung to take his wife and young family and move south to Iro
1 CONC n County to help colonize that area. Thus bleak hardships a
1 CONC nd privation were Mary's lot throughout her childhood and a
1 CONC dult life. She was never to know conveniences or the blessi
1 CONC ngs of good health.
1 CONT The Steele family settled at Parowan where Mary met and fel
1 CONC l in love with young Joseph Fish. She was barely 18 and Jos
1 CONC eph was only 6 months older. According to oral tradition Jo
1 CONC seph wore a buckskin suit and Mary was attired in a blue de
1 CONC nim dress for their wedding. According to Joseph's Journal
1 CONC , "Mary was 5 ft 2 inches tall, weighing about 120 pounds
1 CONC , and was rather heavy set. She had very light brown hair a
1 CONC nd dark eyes, and a very white transparent skin. She was o
1 CONC f a sociable disposition, good company, quick wit, very amb
1 CONC itious, high minded, and an incessant worker. She despise
1 CONC d anything low or mean, and her social spirit never faile
1 CONC d to win friends wherever she was placed."
1 CONT Mary had considerable difficulty at the time of the birth o
1 CONC f her first child, Mary Josephine, who was born March 11, 1
1 CONC 860. Joseph writes of this event: "She suffered spasms fo
1 CONC r about 36 hours, having a spasm every hour during which sh
1 CONC e was insensible. Her feet were badly burned from hot rock
1 CONC s meant to steam them." The doctor attending her finally in
1 CONC sisted on having her bled in the ankle, in an attempt to br
1 CONC ing the blood away from the head (this was a common medica
1 CONC l practice at this time). Mary never had good health afte
1 CONC r this difficult ordeal, but she gave birth to five more ch
1 CONC ildren in spite of her frail physical condition. Accordin
1 CONC g to her husband, Joseph, she met her responsibilities a
1 CONC s a wife and mother admirably.
1 CONT After the birth of her sixth child, Jessie May, Mary's heal
1 CONC th failed noticeably, and she gradually faded until her dea
1 CONC th Dec. 12, 1874, a few weeks short of her 34th birthday. I
1 CONC n his writings, Joseph often expresses his loneliness for h
1 CONC is wife's company when his work took him away from home an
1 CONC d her. He mourned her passing and honored her memory. Agai
1 CONC n he writes, "She was a loving wife and a kind mother." Man
1 CONC y kind friends and relatives followed her to her last resti
1 CONC ng-place to pay honor and respect to her. Her six childre
1 CONC n all lived to maturity, married and eventually had large f
1 CONC amilies of their own, totaling 40 grandchildren to honor th
1 CONC e name and memory of Mary Campbell Steele Fish.

1 CONC COMBINED HISTORY OF GEORGE MASON ADAMS AND) 
1 CONT MARTHA DEVY ADAMS AND EMMA ELIZABETH MONK ADAMS
1 CONT 
1 CONT                   George Mason Adams, born October 1, 185
1 CONC 6 in Northampton. Northahamptonshire, England was the thir
1 CONC d son of David and Maria Thetford Adams.  He was six week
1 CONC s old when his mother sailed from England, 11 Nov. 1856, o
1 CONC n the ship "Columbia."  He and his mother were sick and sur
1 CONC vived the voyage only by the care from the saints on boar
1 CONC d ship.  They were met by his father, who was in America o
1 CONC n New Years Day, 1857.
1 CONT 
1 CONT During their short stay in New York the Adams attended a me
1 CONC eting where John Taylor was,
1 CONT (Who later became president or the church and was twice a m
1 CONC issionary in England).  He walked down into the audience, p
1 CONC icked up the baby, took him to the front, gave him the nam
1 CONC e of George Mason Adams and a wonderful blessing.
1 CONT George was baptized at Alpine city, Utah in 1865, by John W
1 CONC esley Vance and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus C
1 CONC hrist of Latter Saints on the same day. He was baptized aga
1 CONC in 3 Oct. 1857, by John Devey, confirmed the same day by Al
1 CONC bert Marsh.   (To be baptized again was done frequently a
1 CONC t the beginning of the church) He was ordained to the offic
1 CONC e of a Deacon 12 Dec. 1847 by John Devey.
1 CONT               All had a responsibility in keeping the hom
1 CONC e and farm running right.  George herded the cows; a boy ni
1 CONC ne years old could do the job well.  He learned about the b
1 CONC irds and woodland folks while the cows grazed.   His father
1 CONC , being a shoemaker and not a farmer left the farming up t
1 CONC o the boys, Edward and William.  As George grew older he di
1 CONC d the greater share of the farming, his older brothers work
1 CONC ed away from home.  His family was the first to plant an or
1 CONC chard in Alpine.
1 CONT 
1 CONT 
1 CONT          When George was about sixteen years old he took hi
1 CONC s gun, called a "Muscat" and went up School
1 CONT House Canyon hunting some lost cattle.    He climbed upo
1 CONC n a large granite rock to look around.  While leaning on hi
1 CONC s gun it slipped, the hammer striking the rook as it fell
1 CONC , discharging a load of  
1 CONT bird shot' through the upper part of his arm, tearing a goo
1 CONC dly portion of it away.     He was alone and nearly bled t
1 CONC o death.  His father was prompted that something was wron
1 CONC g and went to look for him.  His youngest brother, Albert
1 CONC , then a small lad, remembers seeing then coming down the h
1 CONC ill north of their place.  His father carrying the gun in o
1 CONC ne arm while supporting the blood smeared brother with th
1 CONC e other. Richard
1 CONT T. Booth, Alpine's medical helper was called in.  He took c
1 CONC are or the injured arm.   A large scar always remained.  Th
1 CONC e arm was smaller there because of so much being shot away
1 CONC , but it did not impair the usefulness of the arm to much e
1 CONC xtent.
1 CONT 
1 CONT          About this time in 1873, a beautiful English maide
1 CONC n with eyes of blue and blonde hair came to Alpine with he
1 CONC r mother and younger sister. Her name was Martha Devey; Sh
1 CONC e was born 9 Aug.
1 CONT 1859, at Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England.  Her father
1 CONC , William Devey, was born 26 March 1826, in Wolverhampton
1 CONC , Staffordshire, England, Her mother, Ann Kershaw, was bor
1 CONC n 16 October 1823, or 1824 in New Castle on the Tyne, North
1 CONC umberland, England
1 CONT 
1 CONT          William Devey was a blacksmith by trade, making ch
1 CONC est handles and hinges, which he sold
1 CONT in 100 pound lots, to different factories in England.  Will
1 CONC iam and Ann Kershaw Devey, after hearing the gospel by Latt
1 CONC er-Day Saint missionaries, accepted It's truths and were ba
1 CONC ptized 7 October 1849.   They had a large upper room in the
1 CONC ir house.  The meetings of the saints were held in this pla
1 CONC ce for years.     They taught their children the gospel.  M
1 CONC artha, the sixth child, was baptized in a well when she wa
1 CONC s ten years old in 1869.
1 CONT 
1 CONT They were very desirous to come to America and join the Sai
1 CONC nts in Utah. The couldn't save enough money for all of th
1 CONC e them to come together so John, The eldest child, came i
1 CONC n 1868 and was joined by his father in 1872.
1 CONT John had already built a small home in Alpine, Utah on th
1 CONC e lot occupied by S. O. Strong, and his blacksmith shop wa
1 CONC s in the T. F. Carlisle lot, but soon moved it by his home
1 CONC . Father and son worked together making cable chain, harnes
1 CONC s rings, bridle bits, railroad and coal picks, iron wheelba
1 CONC rrows and several other articles.
1 CONT 
1 CONT William Henry, then a lad of eleven years, came six month
1 CONC s after his father got to Alpine. In August of 1873, the mo
1 CONC ther, Ann, with her two youngest daughters, Martha, age 1
1 CONC 4 and Hannah Alice Avery, age 5, left England. On their arr
1 CONC ival in alpine, they moved into their home, which was not q
1 CONC uite completed. It did not have doors or windows in, so the
1 CONC y hung quilts and etc., in them. It was advisable they sta
1 CONC y to themselves as the small daughter, Hannah, came down wi
1 CONC th measles when the arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah.
1 CONT 
1 CONT The Devey's were close neighbors to the Adams. We know no
1 CONC t how long the courtship of George and Martha was, but we c
1 CONC an imagine how he floated in the air so it seemed to him th
1 CONC e first time that he took Martha to the dance. Although dan
1 CONC cing was somewhat different then than today, of course, the
1 CONC re was that special girl or boy and the others, which the
1 CONC y dance with. The coins did not giggle in the young man's p
1 CONC ockets, instead he carried in his arms a squash, or a measu
1 CONC re of apples, potatoes, wheat, corn, or a pound of butter
1 CONC , or what could be spared from home. This was given to th
1 CONC e fiddler for his pay, who occasionally cast an eye at th
1 CONC e produce in the corner, as back and forth the bow flew an
1 CONC d the tune of "Turkey in the Straw" filled the air and th
1 CONC e dancers formed to dance the quadrille" or what now is cal
1 CONC led "Square Dance."
1 CONT 
1 CONT 
1 CONT 
1 CONT George couldn't dance every set with Martha. For his shoe
1 CONC s were shared with other
1 CONT Boys whose lassies were waiting to try their skill at the "
1 CONC Schottische.    Jacks turn was next being a little older an
1 CONC d more experience in the waltz. He would let Susan's arm re
1 CONC st lightly across
1 CONT His chest and how his heart would pound until, Susan fancie
1 CONC d he was in love with her.      When the
1 CONT "Suveann" was played, some of the words to this tune is 
1 CONT Do you see my new shoes, etc.," George
1 CONT Wishing Martha to see his birthday present, a new pair of s
1 CONC hoes made by his father hurriedly sought his shoes.
1 CONT 
1 CONT          When George was nineteen years old and Martha wa
1 CONC s sweet sixteen, they were married for time and eternity 1
1 CONC 0 April 1876 in the Endowment House, in Salt Lake City, Uta
1 CONC h.  The temple was not finished at that time.
1 CONT To a one-room cabin George took his bride, located on the s
1 CONC outheast
1 CONT Part of Alpine, nearer to American Pork, Canyon.  He owne
1 CONC d a few acres of land, which had been given him as paymen
1 CONC t for living on the homestead of his brother-in-law, John D
1 CONC evey.  At that time it was not required the filer to live i
1 CONC n person on the land.
1 CONT          As pioneers, they knew hard times.  One year the w
1 CONC heat was so smutty no one would buy it. Martha would wash a
1 CONC nd dry the wheat then take it to the store for much neede
1 CONC d groceries.
1 CONT Once while they were in a meeting, President Brigham Youn
1 CONC g said,   "There are people in this building who will liv
1 CONC e to see horse-less carriages". George had the privilege o
1 CONC r riding from ShowLow, Arizona to Spanish Fork, Utah, in on
1 CONC e with his granddaughter May Adams Butler and her husband
1 CONC , Ray, about 1921.  Martha traveled by wagon or train.  Mar
1 CONC tha's brother, John, built the first automobile west of th
1 CONC e Mississippi River.
1 CONT          Two children, Martha Louisa and George William wer
1 CONC e born to them in Alpine, Utah. Before George William wa
1 CONC s a year old, church authorities to help colonize Arizona c
1 CONC alled George and Martha. Carefully they planned and made re
1 CONC ady for the long hazardous journey over desert, mountains a
1 CONC nd Lee's backbone. The trip was made with team and wagon i
1 CONC n 1880 which was an unusually cold winter in Utah, and di
1 CONC d not make it easy as they left in January or February. Ou
1 CONC t on the desert George saw an antelope, which he thought wa
1 CONC s too far away to kill, but decided to try. Being successfu
1 CONC l, they enjoyed the fresh meat.
1 CONT Coming into the country of the Little Colorado River, the w
1 CONC ind blew nearly every day. Oh how dusty and dry it was. Fe
1 CONC w days were nice and sunny. How welcome the cedars were a
1 CONC t a higher elevation. Arriving at Croydon Cooley's Ranch o
1 CONC n the Show Low, they were within eight miles of Forestdale
1 CONC , where Ted and Caroline had their home. Some had settled t
1 CONC here in the fall of 1878, in the beautiful valley of ove
1 CONC r a thousand acres, surrounded with hills, covered with tal
1 CONC l pines, large oak and juniper trees. Mountain springs supp
1 CONC lied the water. O how happy they were to stop traveling an
1 CONC d be where firewood was plentiful, a tent to live in, sprin
1 CONC g in the air, farming to be done. Good crops of corn, potat
1 CONC oes, squash, beans and other crops were grown without irrig
1 CONC ation. Life looked very promising there among the new neigh
1 CONC bors, which in two years numbered over forty families and s
1 CONC ome Indian families, who returned each spring to do plantin
1 CONC g of corn.
1 CONT One day while the men were working in the fields, they hear
1 CONC d screams of the children coming from the tent. Rushing t
1 CONC o the door, they found an Indian man with a hatched in on
1 CONC e hand holding Martha's hare with the other hand. He had dr
1 CONC agged her to the sack of flour that she had in the corner
1 CONC , and told her he wanted it. She refused to give all the fl
1 CONC our to him. When George entered, he asked what he meant t
1 CONC o do. His reply was, " was going to scare white squaw int
1 CONC o giving me the flour, white squaw no scare." In those da
1 CONC y flour was a luxury, which cost twenty-five dollars fo
1 CONC r a fifty pound sack. Flour had to be freighted by ox tea
1 CONC m or mule pack from Santa Fe, New Mexico. Food became scarc
1 CONC e at times, salt was not available for weeks.
1 CONT Martha fed and cared for many friendly Indians. They soon l
1 CONC earned she was not afraid of them and that she was able t
1 CONC o take care of herself.
1 CONT After living there for a few months they moved to Ellswort
1 CONC h Ranch closer to ShowLow. One night the Indians got int
1 CONC o a drunken brawl among themselves and were fighting on bot
1 CONC h hillsides above the houses. George was away. While the bu
1 CONC llets were whistling around, Martha with her two small chil
1 CONC dren crawled on their hands and knees for a hundred yards t
1 CONC o a neighbor's house where others were gathered. After abou
1 CONC t an hour of fighting, an Indian came to he house where th
1 CONC e people were. The door being locked, he took his gun stal
1 CONC k and broke the door. He came in, searched the house thorou
1 CONC ghly looking for the squaw who he said had caused the troub
1 CONC le and s going to kill her. They never knew whether the wom
1 CONC an was found.
1 CONT A couple of weeks later, 20 March 1881, Edward Franklin Ada
1 CONC ms was born to George and Martha at Ellsworth Ranch, in a h
1 CONC ouse with a dirt roof, cool in summer and warm in winter, b
1 CONC ut oh how terrible when it rained or the snow was melting.
1 CONT 
1 CONT October 1868, Col. Holliday made a speech where in he envis
1 CONC ioned the great railroad what would connect the east with t
1 CONC he west. It would start at Topeka, Kansas and follow the ol
1 CONC d Santa Fe Trail. In New Mexico the railroad crossed the Co
1 CONC ntinental divide, winding its way to Arizona, down and alon
1 CONC g the Little Colorado through Holbrook continuing west to C
1 CONC anyon Dueblo, east of Flagstaff, where the Railroad Bridg
1 CONC e was built in 1882. A contract for grading was let Decembe
1 CONC r 1880. George worked some of the time on this grading. H
1 CONC e was at Brigham City near Winslow, August 1881, when wor
1 CONC d was received that a serious outbreak of the apaches had o
1 CONC ccurred. Jesse N. Smith called for volunteers, George M. Ad
1 CONC ams was among the group. They arrived home finding all wa
1 CONC s well, however, the troops had captured and Indian prophe
1 CONC t and some scout who had mutinied. In the melee the prophe
1 CONC t and his wife, Captain Hentig and six soldiers were killed.
1 CONT In the fall of 1881, the Apache trouble caused considerabl
1 CONC e uneasiness. June 1882, the people hastily built a fort o
1 CONC f heavy timber at the Cooley home at ShowLow. While they we
1 CONC re there the Indians cut up a dog and put it in a sack, sen
1 CONC ding it to the Fort with the message, "If the white men di
1 CONC d not leave the country, all would by done as the dog had b
1 CONC een." The man in charge said, "Oh what shall we do?" The ma
1 CONC n replied, "Oh we can't do that. They will come up here an
1 CONC d massacre us." George said, "They had better come while w
1 CONC e are prepared for them." No one ever came to battle with t
1 CONC hem.
1 CONT Thomas Adair a member of the Mormon battalion founded a sma
1 CONC ll settlement three miles northwest from ShowLow, a littl
1 CONC e to the east lived Edson Whipple. They built a blockhous
1 CONC e with portholes as a protection against Indians and whit
1 CONC e desperadoes. Later this fort was turned into a recreatio
1 CONC n and church building. Their first dance was Christmas 1882.
1 CONT 
1 CONT George and Martha moved back to Utah. He farmed that summe
1 CONC r for Jim McDaniel. Maggie Myrtle was born 12 December 1883
1 CONC . George decided that more money could be made in Arizona
1 CONC , so they moved back in the spring.
1 CONT In due time they bought the Staley home, it being the firs
1 CONC t home built by Mormons in this vicinity. Joseph H. Frisb
1 CONC y was a son-in-law to the Staley's, who's home was on the s
1 CONC ame lot as George and Martha. Years later the Adams bough
1 CONC t the Frisby home which was a much nice home. But many even
1 CONC ts happened while they were living in the first home that t
1 CONC hey bought. Flossie Henrietta, their seventh child, was bor
1 CONC n 11 April 1889. David Henry, the fourth oldest son was rid
1 CONC ding in a wagon. A wheel went over a r4ock, causing him t
1 CONC o hall between the back wheel and wagon box. It hurt his he
1 CONC ad. He live a few days then died 5 May 1889. Maggie Myrtle
1 CONC , six years old, was playing outside. Thinking her ankle wa
1 CONC s sprained she went to her mother who could see two small h
1 CONC oles in the skin. George went where she had been playing an
1 CONC d found a small striped snake, the Indians called it a "Kin
1 CONC g Snake. For ten days she lingered in pain. The last few da
1 CONC ys she heaved dark green bile. 30 May 1889, her spirit wen
1 CONC t back to her heavenly home. David Henry was buried about 3
1 CONC 00 feet east of their home. Maggie Myrtle was put to rest b
1 CONC eside him. 1 August 1899, Fannie Dicey, their twelve year o
1 CONC ld daughter, dying from a scare of a man chasing a group o
1 CONC f children, left this mortal sphere to join her brother an
1 CONC d sister. She was buried at Adair Cemetery. The remains o
1 CONC f David Henry and Maggie Myrtle were moved and interred b
1 CONC y their sister.
1 CONT  George had made a trip to Holbrook fifty miles away for la
1 CONC mbing and household supplies, which were put into the house
1 CONC . They were now living in the Frisby building. To those wh
1 CONC o know how strong the March winds can blow, in this part o
1 CONC f the country, will agree that it has plenty of force.  Geo
1 CONC rge started the stove fires then went to do his chores. Soo
1 CONC n he saw the roof was on fire. He was almost paralyzed wit
1 CONC h fear for he knew Martha was in bed and sick and the small
1 CONC er children were also in the house. Flossie remembers Minni
1 CONC e wanted to stop and put her shoes on. The mail driver cam
1 CONC e from over the north hill; he really had his horses on th
1 CONC e run. He stopped to help, but very little if any was saved
1 CONC . Will and Frank were out on the mesa tending the sheep. Th
1 CONC e blue grass was so good that spring. They saw the smoke. F
1 CONC rank thought it was their home, but will said, "No, it is t
1 CONC oo far away." Harry Ellsworth came to tell the boys of thei
1 CONC r home burning down; he stayed with the sheep while the boy
1 CONC s went to see their parents.
1 CONT Some winter they would keep the sheep out west of Snowflak
1 CONC e at the sinks or east of Snowflake at Mesa Rondonda. Othe
1 CONC r sheepherders were hired to help. At one time the herder w
1 CONC ould find a sheep every day that had been killed and not ea
1 CONC ten, only the blood had been sucked out, at no time did th
1 CONC e sheep run or show signs of fear, although the herder watc
1 CONC hed very closely he saw nothing. George decided to watch th
1 CONC e herd, to see if he could find the cause of the killing. H
1 CONC e watched all day. All went well until he saw a sheep trail
1 CONC ing behind the others. As he turned his head he thought, "W
1 CONC ell that's an odd shaped sheep." Looking more closely, it t
1 CONC urned out to be a wolf that would hang its head as though g
1 CONC razing, walk closer to the herd, look up to see how close h
1 CONC e was to the sheep then hang its head. George shot the wolf
1 CONC . That ended the killing of sheep in this manner.
1 CONT We know not what years they were in the sheep business, bu
1 CONC t while they were, George and his son-in-law, Joseph Sponse
1 CONC ller would ship the old ewes and wool to Kansas City, goin
1 CONC g to market with the shipment. On one of these trips Georg
1 CONC e bought Martha a beautiful hat, trimmed with ostrich feath
1 CONC ers, it cost $25.00. She was so proud of it.
1 CONT Martha was ever ready and willing to do all she could to he
1 CONC lp out in the financial way, running a rooming and boardin
1 CONC g house at least twenty of the last years of her life. Sh
1 CONC e was a good cook. At her table sat army officers and thei
1 CONC r wives from Washington DC enroute to and from for Apache
1 CONC . They were also provided night lodging. They ran the Forag
1 CONC e Station for the teamsters of Fort Apache who ate and slep
1 CONC t there on their way to and from the fort to Holbrook wit
1 CONC h freight or passengers. At times large groups of cavalryme
1 CONC n stopped. It was not a small job keeping food for the men
1 CONC , horses and mules. In 1895 George bought a mowing machine
1 CONC . While he was keeping up with modern farm equipment, Marth
1 CONC a was also buying beautiful furniture for the living room
1 CONC , new bedroom suites with large mirrors in the dressers.
1 CONT They were a busy family, with culture, love and obedience i
1 CONC n the home. They found time to learn music, memorize song
1 CONC s that they remembered for years for they sang so much. Lou
1 CONC ise played the accordion, Will the harmonica, Frank harmoni
1 CONC ca, jews harp and guitar. Dicey the organ, flossie the mand
1 CONC olin and guitar, Minnie the organ and guitar, Katie the org
1 CONC an, and George the accordion, violin and organ. Sewing wa
1 CONC s an art Martha and the girls were fitted with, as tucks, f
1 CONC rills; silk braid and lace found their place on their dress
1 CONC es. Martha sewed suits for the men folks.
1 CONT George was Sunday school Superintendent 1894 to 1899 at Ell
1 CONC sworth Ranch. He was a faithful ward teacher and always rea
1 CONC dy to help his neighbor. He filled many other Ward assignme
1 CONC nts. He was active in civic work, clerk of the election, Ju
1 CONC stice of the Peace, road Overseer, Notary Public, elected C
1 CONC onstable Nov. 1908 under sheriff J.T. woods, School Censu
1 CONC s Marshall.
1 CONT George had his share of injuries, his beautiful little blac
1 CONC k pony "Raymer," threw him and broke his collarbone. A shee
1 CONC p is so small, little can it do to a husky man, but bewar
1 CONC e for at the Sponseller dipping pens, on of these innocen
1 CONC t sheep caused him to wrench his back. The men thought hi
1 CONC m dead. They discovered he was still alive. The closest doc
1 CONC tor was some forty miles away. He was sent for and came. No
1 CONC w a mule is much larger and his strike can be painful, espe
1 CONC cially when the strike is over the heart with two mule shoe
1 CONC s in the jumper pocket resulting in two broken ribs. Durin
1 CONC g his life he had seven ribs broken. One arm broken in tw
1 CONC o places from a wheelbarrow falling from above where he wa
1 CONC s working. He also had a shoulder blade broke and his skul
1 CONC l fractured.
1 CONT Father and mother (George & Martha) bought the Huning house
1 CONC . It was very beautiful and we all loved it there. Father r
1 CONC un the government station, taking care of all the mules an
1 CONC d horses, furnishing their feed. Mother and my older sister
1 CONC s that were at home, flossy and Minnie, were kept busy cook
1 CONC ing meals and fixing rooms for all the officers and their w
1 CONC ives which were a great many. Mother was appointed Postmist
1 CONC ress 15 March 1903 having served a year before her appointm
1 CONC ent. Flossy helped mother take care of the post office. A
1 CONC s it was inconvenient for the people in the west side of to
1 CONC wn to get their mail when the wat3r was high in the creek
1 CONC , father bought a lot and moved a building where some of th
1 CONC e family could live and care for the mail. November 1906 tr
1 CONC agedy struck our happy home. Mother was afflicted with a st
1 CONC roke, which left her an invalid for nine months.
1 CONT Then our Father in Heaven called her to her home on high 1
1 CONC 4 July 1907, to c0ntinue her marvelous work. Her children b
1 CONC uried her in the Adair Cemetery.
1 CONT After flossie and Minnie were married George decided to sel
1 CONC l the home over the river to Kirkim and Brown who planned t
1 CONC o convert it into a sanitarium to be called the "White Moun
1 CONC tain Health resort." He moved into a home in town.
1 CONT George was foreman during the construction of the church ho
1 CONC use started in 1909 and dedicated August 1915. He also wa
1 CONC s foreman on the long ditch to cover the land in Scott Flat
1 CONC , which commenced January 1910.
1 CONT While visiting in Utah, George met Emma Elizabeth Monk, a s
1 CONC ister-in-law to his oldest sister, Fannie. They were marrie
1 CONC d 7n April 1910 in the Salt Lake Temple. She was the daught
1 CONC er of Charles and Emma Leywood Monk, born 24 June 1866 in S
1 CONC panish Fork Utah. Her parents were very old. She was takin
1 CONC g care of them and didn't go to Arizona until May 1911. Sh
1 CONC e and George went to Holbrook by train then on to ShoLow wi
1 CONC th team and buggy. They were so tired and dusty. Aunt Emm
1 CONC a was so pleased on their arrival as George's married child
1 CONC ren were and families also Katie and Fred were there to wel
1 CONC come them. The women folks had a big meal ready to eat.
1 CONT Eight years, 1918, Emma's parents took sick and she went t
1 CONC o Utah to be with them. George moved there also. After he
1 CONC r parent's death, George and Emma continued to live in he
1 CONC r home. (Spanish Fork) He and Aunt Emma made many trips t
1 CONC o see his children in Arizona. The winter of 1924 and mos
1 CONC t of the following year both of them spent in Arizona.
1 CONT They lived in the Spanish Fork 4th Ward. 19 December 1927
1 CONC , George went to pay his tithing. He walked a block to th
1 CONC e Bishop's office. On entering the building he collapsed
1 CONC . A doctor was called, but on arrival George was dead. He w
1 CONC as buried in Spanish fork, Utah.
1 CONT Emma continued to live alone in the old home. Her brother
1 CONC , Newell, and family living next door were a great help an
1 CONC d comfort to her.
1 CONT In later hears of her life she took great delight in travel
1 CONC ing, making two or three trips to Arizona to visit her step
1 CONC children whom she dearly loved. She never had the privileg
1 CONC e of having children of her own. When she was in her 80's s
1 CONC he made the trip by bus alone to Cody, Wyoming to visit he
1 CONC r brother, Charles, who was past 90 years old. She loved t
1 CONC o tell how she enjoyed that visit.
1 CONT Emma had a quiet, pleasing, personality and could always se
1 CONC e the funny side of things, making her company acceptable t
1 CONC o her friends and neighbors. She was a good housekeeper an
1 CONC d love flowers, making her life more beautiful with them.
1 CONT When Emma's health failed to where she needed constant care
1 CONC , Annie, her brother Newell's daughter, again took her hom

1 CONC COMBINED HISTORY OF GEORGE MASON ADAMS AND) 
1 CONT MARTHA DEVY ADAMS AND EMMA ELIZABETH MONK ADAMS
1 CONT 
1 CONT                   George Mason Adams, born October 1, 185
1 CONC 6 in Northampton. Northahamptonshire, England was the thir
1 CONC d son of David and Maria Thetford Adams.  He was six week
1 CONC s old when his mother sailed from England, 11 Nov. 1856, o
1 CONC n the ship "Columbia."  He and his mother were sick and sur
1 CONC vived the voyage only by the care from the saints on boar
1 CONC d ship.  They were met by his father, who was in America o
1 CONC n New Years Day, 1857.
1 CONT During their short stay in New York the Adams attended a me
1 CONC eting with John Taylor. (Who later became president or th
1 CONC e church and was twice a missionary in England).  He walke
1 CONC d down into the audience, picked up the baby, took him to t
1 CONC he front, gave him the name of George Mason Adams and a won
1 CONC derful blessing.
1 CONT George was baptized at Alpine city, Utah in 1865, by John W
1 CONC esley Vance and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus C
1 CONC hrist of Latter Saints on the same day. He was baptized aga
1 CONC in 3 Oct. 1857, by John Devey, confirmed the same day by Al
1 CONC bert Marsh.   (To be baptized again was done frequently a
1 CONC t the beginning of the church) He was ordained to the offic
1 CONC e of a Deacon 12 Dec. 1847 by John Devey.
1 CONT               All had a responsibility in keeping the hom
1 CONC e and farm running right.  George herded the cows; a boy ni
1 CONC ne years old could do the job well.  He learned about the b
1 CONC irds and woodland folks while the cows grazed.   His father
1 CONC , being a shoemaker and not a farmer, left the farming up t
1 CONC o the boys, Edward and William.  As George grew older he di
1 CONC d the greater share of the farming, his older brothers work
1 CONC ed away from home.  His family was the first to plant an or
1 CONC chard in Alpine.
1 CONT When George was about sixteen years old he took his gun, ca
1 CONC lled a "Muscat", and went up School House Canyon hunting so
1 CONC me lost cattle. He climbed upon a large granite rock to loo
1 CONC k around.  While leaning on his gun it slipped, the hamme
1 CONC r striking the rook as it fell, discharging a load of 
1 CONT bird shot' through the upper part of his arm, tearing a goo
1 CONC dly portion of it away. He was alone and nearly bled to dea
1 CONC th.  His father was prompted that something was wrong and w
1 CONC ent to look for him.  His youngest brother, Albert, the
1 CONC n a small lad, remembers seeing them coming down the hill n
1 CONC orth of their place. His father carrying the gun in one ar
1 CONC m while supporting the blood smeared brother with the other
1 CONC .        RichardT. Booth, Alpine's medical helper was calle
1 CONC d in. He took care or the injured arm.   A large scar alway
1 CONC s remained.  The arm was smaller there because of so much b
1 CONC eing shot away, but it did not impair the usefulness of th
1 CONC e arm to much extent.
1 CONT          About this time in 1873, a beautiful English maide
1 CONC n with eyes of blue and blonde hair came to Alpine with he
1 CONC r mother and younger sister. Her name was Martha Devey; Sh
1 CONC e was born 9 Aug. 1859, at Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, En
1 CONC gland.  Her father, William Devey, was born 26 March 1826
1 CONC , in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England, Her mother, An
1 CONC n Kershaw, was born 16 October 1823, or 1824 in New Castl
1 CONC e on the Tyne, Northumberland, England
1 CONT          William Devey was a blacksmith by trade, making ch
1 CONC est handles and hinges, which he sold in 100 pound lots, t
1 CONC o different factories in England.  William and Ann Kersha
1 CONC w Devey, after hearing the gospel by Latter-Day Saint missi
1 CONC onaries, accepted It's truths and were baptized 7 October 1
1 CONC 849. They had a large upper room in their house.  The meeti
1 CONC ngs of the saints were held in this place for years. They t
1 CONC aught their children the gospel.  Martha, the sixth child
1 CONC , was baptized in a well when she was ten years old in 1869.
1 CONT They were very desirous to come to America and join the Sai
1 CONC nts in Utah. They couldn't save enough money for all of th
1 CONC e them to come together so John, The eldest child, came i
1 CONC n 1868 and was joined by his father in 1872.
1 CONT John had already built a small home in Alpine, Utah on th
1 CONC e lot occupied by S. O. Strong, and his blacksmith shop wa
1 CONC s in the T. F. Carlisle lot, but soon moved it by his home
1 CONC . Father and son worked together making cable chain, harnes
1 CONC s rings, bridle bits, railroad and coal picks, iron wheelba
1 CONC rrows and several other articles.
1 CONT William Henry, then a lad of eleven years, came six month
1 CONC s after his father got to Alpine. In August of 1873, the mo
1 CONC ther, Ann, with her two youngest daughters, Martha, age 1
1 CONC 4 and Hannah Alice Avery, age 5, left England. On their arr
1 CONC ival in alpine, they moved into their home, which was not q
1 CONC uite completed. It did not have doors or windows in, so the
1 CONC y hung quilts and etc., in them. It was advisable they sta
1 CONC y to themselves as the small daughter, Hannah, came down wi
1 CONC th measles when they arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah.
1 CONT The Devey's were close neighbors to the Adams. We know no
1 CONC t how long the courtship of George and Martha was, but we c
1 CONC an imagine how he floated in the air, so it seemed to him
1 CONC , the first time that he took Martha to the dance. Althoug
1 CONC h dancing was somewhat different then than today, of course
1 CONC , there was that special girl or boy and the others which t
1 CONC hey danced with. The coins did not jiggle in the young man'
1 CONC s pockets, instead he carried in his arms a squash, or a me
1 CONC asure of apples, potatoes, wheat, corn, or a pound of butte
1 CONC r, or what could be spared from home. This was given to th
1 CONC e fiddler for his pay, who occasionally cast an eye at th
1 CONC e produce in the corner. Back and forth the bow flew and th
1 CONC e tune of "Turkey in the Straw" filled the air and the danc
1 CONC ers formed to dance the quadrille" or what now is called "S
1 CONC quare Dance."
1 CONT George couldn't dance every set with Martha. For his shoe
1 CONC s were shared with other Boys whose lassies were waiting t
1 CONC o try their skill at the "Schottische. Jacks turn was next
1 CONC . He being a little older and more experienced in the waltz
1 CONC . He would let Susan's arm rest lightly across his chest an
1 CONC d how his heart would pound until, Susan fancied he was i
1 CONC n love with her. When the "Suveann" was played, some of th
1 CONC e words to this tune are 
1 CONT Do you see my new shoes, etc.," George Wishing Martha to se
1 CONC e his birthday present, a new pair of shoes made by his fat
1 CONC her hurriedly sought his shoes.
1 CONT          When George was nineteen years old and Martha wa
1 CONC s sweet sixteen, they were married for time and eternity 1
1 CONC 0 April 1876 in the Endowment House, in Salt Lake City, Uta
1 CONC h. The temple was not finished at that time.
1 CONT To a one-room cabin George took his bride, located on the s
1 CONC outheast
1 CONT Part of Alpine, nearer to American Fork, Canyon.  He owne
1 CONC d a few acres of land, which had been given him as paymen
1 CONC t for living on the homestead of his brother-in-law, John D
1 CONC evey.  At that time it was not required for the filer to li
1 CONC ve in person on the land.
1 CONT          As pioneers, they knew hard times.  One year the w
1 CONC heat was so smutty no one would buy it. Martha would wash a
1 CONC nd dry the wheat then take it to the store for much neede
1 CONC d groceries.
1 CONT Once while they were in a meeting, President Brigham Youn
1 CONC g said,   "There are people in this building who will liv
1 CONC e to see horse-less carriages". George had the privilege o
1 CONC f riding from Show Low, Arizona to Spanish Fork, Utah, in o
1 CONC ne with his granddaughter May Adams Butler and her husband
1 CONC , Ray, about 1921.  Martha traveled by wagon or train.  Mar
1 CONC tha's brother, John, built the first automobile west of th
1 CONC e Mississippi River.
1 CONT          Two children, Martha Louisa and George William wer
1 CONC e born to them in Alpine, Utah. Before George William wa
1 CONC s a year old, church authorities called George and Martha t
1 CONC o help colonize Arizona. Carefully they planned and made re
1 CONC ady for the long hazardous journey over desert, mountains a
1 CONC nd Lee's backbone. The trip was made with team and wagon i
1 CONC n 1880 which was an unusually cold winter in Utah, and di
1 CONC d not make it easy as they left in January or February. Ou
1 CONC t on the desert George saw an antelope, which he thought wa
1 CONC s too far away to kill, but decided to try. Being successfu
1 CONC l, they enjoyed the fresh meat.
1 CONT Coming into the country of the Little Colorado River, the w
1 CONC ind blew nearly every day. Oh how dusty and dry it was. Fe
1 CONC w days were nice and sunny. How welcome the cedars were a
1 CONC t a higher elevation. Arriving at Croydon Cooley's Ranch o
1 CONC n the Show Low.  They were within eight miles of Forestdale
1 CONC , where Ted and Caroline had their home. Some had settled t
1 CONC here in the fall of 1878, in the beautiful valley of ove
1 CONC r a thousand acres, surrounded with hills, covered with tal
1 CONC l pines, large oak and juniper trees. Mountain springs supp
1 CONC lied the water. O how happy they were to stop traveling an
1 CONC d be where firewood was plentiful, a tent to live in, sprin
1 CONC g in the air, farming to be done. Good crops of corn, potat
1 CONC oes, squash, beans and other crops were grown without irrig
1 CONC ation. Life looked very promising there among the new neigh
1 CONC bors, which in two years numbered over forty families and s
1 CONC ome Indian families, who returned each spring to do plantin
1 CONC g of corn.
1 CONT One day while the men were working in the fields, they hear
1 CONC d screams of the children coming from the tent. Rushing t
1 CONC o the door, they found an Indian man with a hatched in on
1 CONC e hand holding Martha's hair with the other hand. He had dr
1 CONC agged her to the sack of flour that she had in the corner
1 CONC , and told her he wanted it. She refused to give all the fl
1 CONC our to him. When George entered, he asked what he meant t
1 CONC o do. His reply was, "I was going to scare white squaw int
1 CONC o giving me the flour, white squaw no scare." In those da
1 CONC y flour was a luxury, which cost twenty-five dollars fo
1 CONC r a fifty pound sack. Flour had to be freighted by ox tea
1 CONC m or mule pack from Santa Fe, New Mexico. Food became scarc
1 CONC e at times, salt was not available for weeks.
1 CONT Martha fed and cared for many friendly Indians. They soon l
1 CONC earned she was not afraid of them and that she was able t
1 CONC o take care of herself.
1 CONT After living there for a few months they moved to Ellswort
1 CONC h Ranch, closer to ShowLow. One night the Indians got int
1 CONC o a drunken brawl, among themselves, and were fighting on b
1 CONC oth hillsides above the houses. George was away. While th
1 CONC e bullets were whistling around, Martha with her two smal
1 CONC l children crawled on their hands and knees for a hundred y
1 CONC ards to a neighbor's house where others were gathered. Afte
1 CONC r about an hour of fighting, an Indian came to the house wh
1 CONC ere the people were. The door being locked, he took his gu
1 CONC n stalk and broke the door. He came in, searched the hous
1 CONC e thoroughly looking for the squaw who he said had caused t
1 CONC he trouble and was going to kill her. They never knew wheth
1 CONC er the woman was found.
1 CONT A couple of weeks later, 20 March 1881, Edward Franklin Ada
1 CONC ms was born to George and Martha at Ellsworth Ranch, in a h
1 CONC ouse with a dirt roof. Cool in summer and warm in winter, b
1 CONC ut oh how terrible when it rained or the snow was melting.
1 CONT 
1 CONT October 1868, Col. Holliday made a speech where in he envis
1 CONC ioned the great railroad what would connect the east with t
1 CONC he west. It would start at Topeka, Kansas and follow the ol
1 CONC d Santa Fe Trail. In New Mexico the railroad crossed the Co
1 CONC ntinental divide, winding its way to Arizona, down and alon
1 CONC g the Little Colorado river through Holbrook continuing wes
1 CONC t to Canyon Dueblo, east of Flagstaff, where the Railroad B
1 CONC ridge was built in 1882. A contract for grading was let Dec
1 CONC ember 1880. George worked some of the time on this grading
1 CONC . He was at Brigham City, near Winslow, August 1881, when w
1 CONC ord was received that a serious outbreak of the apaches ha
1 CONC d occurred. Jesse N. Smith called for volunteers, George M
1 CONC . Adams was among the group. They arrived home finding al
1 CONC l was well, however, the troops had captured an Indian prop
1 CONC het and some scout who had mutinied. In the melee the proph
1 CONC et and his wife, Captain Hentig and six soldiers were kille
1 CONC d.
1 CONT In the fall of 1881, the Apache trouble caused considerabl
1 CONC e uneasiness. June 1882, the people hastily built a fort o
1 CONC f heavy timber at the Cooley home in ShowLow. While they we
1 CONC re there the Indians cut up a dog and put it in a sack, sen
1 CONC ding it to the Fort with the message, "If the white men di
1 CONC d not leave the country, all would be done as the dog had b
1 CONC een." The man in charge said, "Oh what shall we do?" The ma
1 CONC n replied, "Oh we can't do that. They will come up here an
1 CONC d massacre us." George said, "They had better come while w
1 CONC e are prepared for them." No one ever came to battle with t
1 CONC hem.
1 CONT Thomas Adair, a member of the Mormon battalion, founded a s
1 CONC mall settlement three miles northwest from ShowLow, a littl
1 CONC e to the east lived Edson Whipple. They built a blockhous
1 CONC e with portholes as a protection against Indians and whit
1 CONC e desperadoes. Later this fort was turned into a recreatio
1 CONC n and church building. Their first dance was Christmas 1882.
1 CONT George and Martha moved back to Utah. He farmed that summe
1 CONC r for Jim McDaniel. Maggie Myrtle was born 12 December 1883
1 CONC . George decided that more money could be made in Arizona
1 CONC , so they moved back in the spring.
1 CONT In due time they bought the Staley home, it being the firs
1 CONC t home built by Mormons in this vicinity. Joseph H. Frisb
1 CONC y was a son-in-law to the Staley's, who's home was on the s
1 CONC ame lot as George and Martha's. Years later the Adams bough
1 CONC t the Frisby home which was a much nicer home. But many eve
1 CONC nts happened while they were living in the first home tha
1 CONC t they bought. Flossie Henrietta, their seventh child, wa
1 CONC s born 11 April 1889. David Henry, the fourth oldest son wa
1 CONC s ridding in a wagon. A wheel went over a rock, causing hi
1 CONC m to hall between the back wheel and wagon box. It hurt hi
1 CONC s head. He lived a few days then died 5 May 1889. Maggie My
1 CONC rtle, six years old, was playing outside. Thinking her ankl
1 CONC e was sprained she went to her mother who could see two sma
1 CONC ll holes in the skin. George went where she had been playin
1 CONC g and found a small striped snake, the Indians called i
1 CONC t a "King Snake. For ten days she lingered in pain. The las
1 CONC t few days she heaved dark green bile. 30 May 1889, her spi
1 CONC rit went back to her heavenly home. David Henry was burie
1 CONC d about 300 feet east of their home. Maggie Myrtle was pu
1 CONC t to rest beside him. 1 August 1899, Fannie Dicey, their tw
1 CONC elve year old daughter, dying from a scare of a man chasin
1 CONC g a group of children, left this mortal sphere to join he
1 CONC r brother and sister. She was buried at Adair Cemetery. Th
1 CONC e remains of David Henry and Maggie Myrtle were moved and i
1 CONC nterred by their sister.
1 CONT  George had made a trip to Holbrook fifty miles away for la
1 CONC mbing and household supplies, which were put into the house
1 CONC . They were now living in the Frisby building. To those wh
1 CONC o know how strong the March winds can blow, in this part o
1 CONC f the country, will agree that it has plenty of force.  Geo
1 CONC rge started the stove fires then went to do his chores. Soo
1 CONC n he saw the roof was on fire. He was almost paralyzed wit
1 CONC h fear for he knew Martha was in bed sick and the smaller c
1 CONC hildren were also in the house. Flossie remembers Minnie wa
1 CONC nted to stop and put her shoes on. The mail driver came fro
1 CONC m over the north hill; he really had his horses on the run
1 CONC . He stopped to help, but very little if any was saved. Wil
1 CONC l and Frank were out on the mesa tending the sheep. The blu
1 CONC e grass was so good that spring. They saw the smoke. Fran
1 CONC k thought it was their home, but will said, "No, it is to
1 CONC o far away." Harry Ellsworth came to tell the boys of thei
1 CONC r home burning down; he stayed with the sheep while the boy
1 CONC s went to see their parents.
1 CONT Some winters they would keep the sheep out west of Snowflak
1 CONC e at the sinks or east of Snowflake at Mesa Rondonda. Othe
1 CONC r sheepherders were hired to help. At one time the herder w
1 CONC ould find a sheep every day that had been killed and not ea
1 CONC ten, only the blood had been sucked out, at no time did th
1 CONC e sheep run or show signs of fear, although the herder watc
1 CONC hed very closely he saw nothing. George decided to watch th
1 CONC e herd, to see if he could find the cause of the killing. H
1 CONC e watched all day. All went well until he saw a sheep trail
1 CONC ing behind the others. As he turned his head he thought, "W
1 CONC ell that's an odd shaped sheep." Looking more closely, it t
1 CONC urned out to be a wolf that would hang its head as though g
1 CONC razing, walk closer to the herd, look up to see how close h
1 CONC e was to the sheep then hang its head. George shot the wolf
1 CONC . That ended the killing of sheep in this manner.
1 CONT We know not what years they were in the sheep business, bu
1 CONC t while they were, George and his son-in-law, Joseph Sponse
1 CONC ller would ship the old ewes and wool to Kansas City, goin
1 CONC g to market with the shipment. On one of these trips Georg
1 CONC e bought Martha a beautiful hat, trimmed with ostrich feath
1 CONC ers, it cost $25.00. She was so proud of it. Martha was eve
1 CONC r ready and willing to do all she could to help out in a fi
1 CONC nancial way, running a rooming and boarding house, at leas
1 CONC t twenty of the last years of her life. She was a good cook
1 CONC . At her table sat army officers and their wives from Washi
1 CONC ngton DC enroute to and from Fort Apache. They were also pr
1 CONC ovided night lodging. They ran the Forage Station for the t
1 CONC eamsters of Fort Apache who ate and slept there on their wa
1 CONC y to and from the Fort to Holbrook with freight or passenge
1 CONC rs. At times large groups of cavalrymen stopped. It was no
1 CONC t a small job keeping food for the men, horses and mules. I
1 CONC n 1895 George bought a mowing machine. While he was keepin
1 CONC g up with modern farm equipment, Martha was also buying bea
1 CONC utiful furniture for the living room, new bedroom suites wi
1 CONC th large mirrors in the dressers.
1 CONT They were a busy family, with culture, love and obedience i
1 CONC n the home. They found time to learn music, memorize song
1 CONC s that they remembered for years for they sang so much. Lou
1 CONC ise played the accordion, Will the harmonica, Frank harmoni
1 CONC ca, jews harp and guitar. Dicey the organ, Flossie the mand
1 CONC olin and guitar, Minnie the organ and guitar, Katie the org
1 CONC an, and George the accordion, violin and organ. Sewing wa
1 CONC s an art Martha and the girls were fitted with, as tucks, f
1 CONC rills; silk braid and lace found their place on their dress
1 CONC es. Martha sewed suits for the men folks.
1 CONT George was Sunday school Superintendent 1894 to 1899 at Ell
1 CONC sworth Ranch. He was a faithful ward teacher and always rea
1 CONC dy to help his neighbor. He filled many other Ward assignme
1 CONC nts. He was active in civic work, clerk of the election, Ju
1 CONC stice of the Peace, Road Overseer, Notary Public, elected C
1 CONC onstable Nov. 1908 under sheriff J.T. Woods, School Censu
1 CONC s Marshall.
1 CONT George had his share of injuries, his beautiful little blac
1 CONC k pony "Raymer," threw him and broke his collarbone. A shee
1 CONC p is so small, little can it do to a husky man, but bewar
1 CONC e for at the Sponseller dipping pens, one of these innocen
1 CONC t sheep caused him to wrench his back. The men thought hi
1 CONC m dead. They discovered he was still alive. The closest doc
1 CONC tor was some forty miles away. He was sent for and came. No
1 CONC w a mule is much larger and his strike can be painful, espe
1 CONC cially when the strike is over the heart with two mule shoe
1 CONC s in the jumper pocket resulting in two broken ribs. Durin
1 CONC g his life he had seven ribs broken. One arm broken in tw
1 CONC o places from a wheelbarrow falling from above where he wa
1 CONC s working. He also had a shoulder blade broke and his skul
1 CONC l fractured.
1 CONT Father and mother (George & Martha) bought the Huning house
1 CONC . It was very beautiful and we all loved it there. Father r
1 CONC an the government station, taking care of all the mules an
1 CONC d horses, furnishing their feed. Mother and my older sister
1 CONC s that were at home, flossy and Minnie, were kept busy cook
1 CONC ing meals and fixing rooms for all the officers and their w
1 CONC ives which were a great many. Mother was appointed Postmist
1 CONC ress 15 March 1903 having served a year before her appointm
1 CONC ent. Flossy helped mother take care of the post office. A
1 CONC s it was inconvenient for the people in the west side of to
1 CONC wn to get their mail when the water was high in the creek
1 CONC , father bought a lot and moved a building where some of th
1 CONC e family could live and care for the mail. November 1906 tr
1 CONC agedy struck our happy home. Mother was afflicted with a st
1 CONC roke, which left her an invalid for nine months.
1 CONT Then our Father in Heaven called her to her home on high 1
1 CONC 4 July 1907, to continue her marvelous work. Her children b
1 CONC uried her in the Adair Cemetery.
1 CONT After Flossie and Minnie were married George decided to sel
1 CONC l the home over the river to Kirkim and Brown who planned t
1 CONC o convert it into a sanitarium to be called the "White Moun
1 CONC tain Health resort." He moved into a home in town.
1 CONT George was foreman during the construction of the church ho
1 CONC use started in 1909 and dedicated August 1915. He also wa
1 CONC s foreman on the long ditch to cover the land in Scott Flat
1 CONC , which commenced January 1910.
1 CONT While visiting in Utah, George met Emma Elizabeth Monk, a s
1 CONC ister-in-law to his oldest sister, Fannie. They were marrie
1 CONC d 7n April 1910 in the Salt Lake Temple. She was the daught
1 CONC er of Charles and Emma Leywood Monk, born 24 June 1866 in S
1 CONC panish Fork Utah. Her parents were very old. She was takin
1 CONC g care of them and didn't go to Arizona until May 1911. Sh
1 CONC e and George went to Holbrook by train then on to Show Lo
1 CONC w with team and buggy. They were so tired and dusty. Aunt E
1 CONC mma was as pleased on their arrival as George's married chi
1 CONC ldren were. Katie and Fred were also there to welcome them
1 CONC . The women folks had a big meal ready to eat.
1 CONT Eight years, 1918, Emma's parents took sick and she went t
1 CONC o Utah to be with them. George moved there also. After he
1 CONC r parent's death, George and Emma continued to live in he
1 CONC r home. (Spanish Fork) He and Aunt Emma made many trips t
1 CONC o see his children in Arizona. The winter of 1924 and mos
1 CONC t of the following year both of them spent in Arizona.
1 CONT They lived in the Spanish Fork 4th Ward. 19 December 1927
1 CONC , George went to pay his tithing. He walked a block to th
1 CONC e Bishop's office. On entering the building he collapsed
1 CONC . A doctor was called, but upon his arrival, George was dea
1 CONC d. He was buried in Spanish fork, Utah.
1 CONT Emma continued to live alone in the old home. Her brother
1 CONC , Newell, and family living next door were a great help an
1 CONC d comfort to her.
1 CONT In later hears of her life she took great delight in travel
1 CONC ing, making two or three trips to Arizona to visit her step
1 CONC children whom she dearly loved. She never had the privileg
1 CONC e of having children of her own. When she was in her 80's s
1 CONC he made the trip by bus alone to Cody, Wyoming to visit he
1 CONC r brother, Charles, who was past 90 years old. She loved t
1 CONC o tell how she enjoyed that visit.
1 CONT Emma had a quiet, pleasing, personality and could always se
1 CONC e the funny side of things, making her company acceptable t
1 CONC o her friends and neighbors. She was a good housekeeper an
1 CONC d loved flowers, making her life more beautiful with them.
1 CONT When Emma's health failed to where she needed constant care
1 CONC , Annie, her brother Newell's daughter, again took her hom
1 CONC e and cared for her, doing all loving hands could do unti
1 CONC l she was released from her earthly mission.
1 CONT She was buried in the Spanish Fork Cemetery at the side o
1 CONC f her husband, ending a long and unselfish life devoted t
1 CONC o kindness and love to her fellowmen. Emma died 19 Januar
1 CONC y 1951 and was buried on the 23rd of January.

1 CONC  LIFE STORY OF RALPH HARVEY GARDNER 
1 CONT  Compiled by Sherry Thomas and George Gardner
1 CONT 
1 CONT      I, Ralph Harvey Gardner, son of Fay Ivan Gardner and E
1 CONC liza Meadlock Lewis, was born under the covenant of goodl
1 CONC y parents on October 27, 1902.
1 CONT I grew up in Woodruff, the place of my birth. Our family wa
1 CONC s never rich and we have always been grateful for the thing
1 CONC s that we have been privileged to enjoy.
1 CONT I have six brothers and five sisters. My father and mothe
1 CONC r had a real struggle trying to raise us all.
1 CONT I had very little schooling with only one year of high scho
1 CONC ol, which I received at Lakeside.
1 CONT One of the first things I can remember is standing on an ir
1 CONC rigation ditch bank barefooted, diaper around my knees, eat
1 CONC ing a piece of bread and red plumb preserves bigger tha
1 CONC n I was.  I saw many hardships in my childhood, hunger an
1 CONC d want of luxury.  On the 4th of July each year we would ge
1 CONC t a quarter to spend.
1 CONT      My first recollection of anyone of importance was Gran
1 CONC dmother, Harriet Beebe Gardner, and my fathers' mother.  Sh
1 CONC e lived in our home for seven years before she passed away
1 CONC .  She came across the plains in Brigham Young's Co.  She c
1 CONC rossed the plains at the age of thirteen and saw many hards
1 CONC hips at Winter Quarters.  I don't remember Granddad Gardner
1 CONC .  He was a blacksmith and wheelright and helped many saint
1 CONC s across the plains by wagon building and handcart building
1 CONC .  Grandmother Gardner was a self-trained nurse.  Joseph Iv
1 CONC an Gardner was the 400th baby she delivered into the world
1 CONC .  She also brought me into the world.  She called me int
1 CONC o her room many times to tell me the story of the Prophet J
1 CONC oseph Smith, Brigham Young, Oliver Cowdery, Wilford Woodruf
1 CONC f and many others.
1 CONT      Bishop L.M. Savage baptized me on November 23rd, in Wo
1 CONC odruff.  The ice was about one-half inch thick on that mudd
1 CONC y Colorado River.  He led me into the water and ducked my u
1 CONC nder and I had to go home and take a bath to clean the mu
1 CONC d off.  I never did grow very tall but figured it was becau
1 CONC se we lived in Woodruff so long and drank so much of that m
1 CONC uddy water that it kind of made me settle.  I want to pay t
1 CONC ribute to Bishop L.M. Savage, one of the men who controlle
1 CONC d his ward, and did everything according to the law of th
1 CONC e gospel.  I was baptized by him and confirmed by Jim Brink
1 CONC erhoff.  Brother Allen ordained me a teacher in Taylor; I c
1 CONC an't remember his given name,
1 CONT      At a very early age, in my early teens, I helped buil
1 CONC d one of the notorious dams that went in the Colorado Rive
1 CONC r that furnished water for the farms.  My father Fay Ivan G
1 CONC ardner helped build 13 dams in the Colorado River. Each on
1 CONC e washed out after being completed by the heavy floods tha
1 CONC t came down that old muddy Colorado.
1 CONT      We had a lot of sickness, my Father was sick so we ha
1 CONC d to get out and find employment. So, we moved to Taylor t
1 CONC o try to benefit ourselves.  Incidentally my Father was th
1 CONC e first assessor in Navajo County.  He ran for office in Wo
1 CONC odruff and got every vote in Woodruff except one for two te
1 CONC rms.  He held that office for eight terms, sixteen years a
1 CONC s County Assessor.  He was a man who stood on his own two f
1 CONC eet, let no one back him down regardless of size or educati
1 CONC on.  He was a self-educated man.  One time while my Fathe
1 CONC r was in the Assessors Office he went to the White Mountain
1 CONC s on Assessors business, my mother didn't know anything abo
1 CONC ut his whereabouts.  One night she woke up in the night, wo
1 CONC ke me up and said, "Ralph, you've just got to get up and g
1 CONC o find Dad."  We had a saddle horse when we were living i
1 CONC n Woodruff.  She said, "Go to Dry Lake and see if you can f
1 CONC ind him."  It's about 35 miles from Woodruff to Dry Lake
1 CONC .  I saddled the horse about 4 O'clock in the morning and r
1 CONC ode out to Dry Lake.  It took me until noon to get there
1 CONC .  It was on a Sunday morning.  Elmer Gardner was in charg
1 CONC e of the Branch there and he told me to put the horse in th
1 CONC e barn and feed him and water him, eat dinner, go to Churc
1 CONC h with him and then I could go home.  After Church the hors
1 CONC e was rested up and I was feeling pretty good so I rode bac
1 CONC k to Woodruff.  We had gotten word from my father while I w
1 CONC as gone.  His car had broken down and he had hired someon
1 CONC e to pull the old Model T Ford into Snowflake.  Just an hou
1 CONC r after I left Woodruff, my Mother received a telephone cal
1 CONC l that he was safe and would be on his way home in a day o
1 CONC r two. He would come after he fixed the car. 70 miles, roun
1 CONC d trip, for a kid is a long stretch compared to what it i
1 CONC s now.
1 CONT      One time when I was bout eight years old I went with m
1 CONC y father to Holbrook, I went into the "Bucket of Blood Salo
1 CONC on", where there were men drinking and gambling.  Two of th
1 CONC e fellows got into an argument about a play that was made a
1 CONC nd one just up and shot the other, and that settled the arg
1 CONC ument.  There was an old hitching rack in front and an ol
1 CONC d water pump and the water trough, and that was the good ol
1 CONC d days.  Right next to it Sam Chinaman had a cafe, a littl
1 CONC e long narrow building.  You went in and sat on stools; the
1 CONC re were no tables.  Sam wore the same apron day after day
1 CONC . He slept in it and wore it for weeks at a time. It got t
1 CONC o looking like the walls of that place.  You ordered ham an
1 CONC d eggs, or bacon and eggs, that was the best thing to do
1 CONC .  One day my father and I went in, ordered Ham and eggs an
1 CONC d Sam said, "Mr. Gardner, better take 'em scrambled, eggs p
1 CONC retty damn rotten."
1 CONT      At the age of l6 in November of l9l8, we moved to Tayl
1 CONC or, Arizona. We stayed there about a year and then moved t
1 CONC o Lakeside in l9l9.  During our first period in Lakesid
1 CONC e I worked for SW Jaques on his ranch. After I worked awhil
1 CONC e he put me to hauling freight from Lakeside and McNary t
1 CONC o Grasshopper and the O.W. Ranch which was about 90 miles f
1 CONC rom Lakeside.  One spring he sent me with a load of salt
1 CONC .  He gave me hay and grain for my six mules and grocerie
1 CONC s for myself.  About that time the frost was on the groun
1 CONC d and it started raining. I was twenty-one days from McNar
1 CONC y to Cibeque.  I ran out of grain and hay for the stock an
1 CONC d I ran out of groceries. I didn't see a living soul for th
1 CONC at period of time.  The mules got so they could hardly carr
1 CONC y their harnesses.  When I got in to Cibeque I went into Na
1 CONC pps' store and asked him if Jacques' credit was good for ha
1 CONC y and groceries.  He said, "all you want."  So I bought som
1 CONC e hay and grain, fed the mules and bought some groceries
1 CONC .  I bought a big round steak, made a dutch oven full of bi
1 CONC scuits and cooked this big round steak in a dutch oven. The
1 CONC n I bought a no. 2 can of black cherries. I cooked those bi
1 CONC scuits and steak, I ate them and then I ate the full can o
1 CONC f cherries, then I went to bed.  Incidentally I slept i
1 CONC n a wet bed every night on that trip.  The next day I wen
1 CONC t from Cibeque to Grasshopper, the mules being rested and t
1 CONC he storm subsided, so I was in pretty good shape.  I had th
1 CONC e wrinkles taken out of my stomach and the mules had the wr
1 CONC inkles taken out of theirs.  We got along pretty good. We u
1 CONC nloaded and I went back to Lakeside.  That's where I quit f
1 CONC reighting and I hope none of my boys ever have to go throug
1 CONC h what I did.  What I remember most about that trip, was wh
1 CONC en I drew my pay. I drew $40.00 and l cent.  I asked Mr. Ja
1 CONC ques if he though I earned that one cent and he said, "Yea
1 CONC , I think you did."  That was quite amusing to me.
1 CONT 
1 CONT While I was working for Jaques he sent me over to Grasshopp
1 CONC er to wrangle horses.  He gave me a little mule and a saddl
1 CONC e horse.  Tom Angus and Pete Nail were pretty good buddie
1 CONC s of mine.  We got to know each other pretty well and ever
1 CONC y one of the cowboys had an old outlaw horse or something t
1 CONC hat didn't like him.
1 CONT I fed their horses, watered them and rested them up so wel
1 CONC l that they didn't need so many horses. So, they'd give m
1 CONC e all their old outlaw horses and I had a string that would
1 CONC n't quit.  I had about 35 horses in my string.  I had one b
1 CONC ig sorrel horse that somebody gave me, it was a beautiful h
1 CONC orse. One morning I dropped my rope on him in the corral, s
1 CONC addled him up and he acted just fine.  I noticed all the co
1 CONC wboys rode out toward the timber and stopped. They hesitate
1 CONC d, looked back and then I knew what was up. I just opened t
1 CONC he gate, turned out the Remuda and took the lane up to wher
1 CONC e I was going to graze them and water them that day. I turn
1 CONC ed to this sorrel, stepped on him and then the fun started
1 CONC .   He downed his head and bucked for half a mile and me pu
1 CONC lling at him all the way. I managed to stay on and after h
1 CONC e quit bucking, the cowboys went on their way but I didn'
1 CONC t dare get off from him all that day.  I stayed on him al
1 CONC l day long from early in the morning.  That was just abou
1 CONC t sun-up and I came in about sundown bringing their horses
1 CONC .  I hadn't ever been off that horse all day long.  I reall
1 CONC y learned to love that horse, me being a great lover of hor
1 CONC ses anyway.  The next morning the horse let me throw my rop
1 CONC e right back on her.
1 CONT      We stayed in Lakeside about a year and then moved to W
1 CONC inslow where I went to work for the Santa Fe Railway in Wil
1 CONC liams, my folks living in Winslow.  My father also worked f
1 CONC or the railroad.  I served an apprenticeship and had to d
1 CONC o all kinds of work. We worked all the way from Los Angeles
1 CONC , Kansas City, Phoenix and to the Grand Canyon. I had to pa
1 CONC ss wherever I wanted to go on the railway. I could ride an
1 CONC y freight train or passenger train except the fancy passeng
1 CONC er trains.  They wouldn't allow me to have a sleeper or any
1 CONC thing like that on this pass. If I did, I'd have to pay fo
1 CONC r it out of my own pocket.  Once we were coming up from Ash
1 CONC fork, we had a Mead Motor car and there were six of us on i
1 CONC t. We were coming from Ashfork and we were following a pass
1 CONC enger train up the hill. There was a big load of machiner
1 CONC y that wouldn't clear the overpasses, so they were buckin
1 CONC g traffic down the hill but we didn't know that.  We didn'
1 CONC t have any orders so we were coming up and they'd been in t
1 CONC he hole waiting for this passenger train. Our motor car ha
1 CONC d been giving us some trouble so we were all working on it
1 CONC .  We had our heads down and this freight train came out o
1 CONC f the hole making no noise, smoke or hardly anything. We we
1 CONC re in a rock cut about 50 feet deep.  We looked up and sa
1 CONC w that thing coming towards us. Incidentally the number o
1 CONC n that locomotive was 3881. We all jumped off quickly.  Tha
1 CONC t thing hit our little car head on and sent that motor ca
1 CONC r down that rail.  Those Mead Motor cars would run either w
1 CONC ay, one way as good the other so it hit straight on the rai
1 CONC l and it started running real good going down the hill.  Th
1 CONC e section foreman about three miles below saw it coming an
1 CONC d threw a tie across the track.  That little car hit the ti
1 CONC e and tore it into a million pieces. The engineer said tha
1 CONC t he saw a man fly into the air but it turned out to be a c
1 CONC ushion.  We caught a ride back into Ashfork with this freig
1 CONC ht train and then caught another train into headquarters, i
1 CONC n Williams. We all got forty brown marks apiece out of tha
1 CONC t incident. Before I quit Santa Fe I gained all mine back b
1 CONC ut about l0 or less, I don't know exactly how, but anyway t
1 CONC hey had a merit system, brownies are good marks and I'd gai
1 CONC ned mine back by seeing to some of the things that needed t
1 CONC o be done.  I had a real fine experience with the Santa F
1 CONC e Railway, four years of it. I've always been grateful fo
1 CONC r that experience. After finishing four years training as a
1 CONC n apprentice steam fitter we moved back to Lakeside.
1 CONT      After working on the Railroad and moving back to Lakes
1 CONC ide I became employed by Fish Lumber Co. in 1926.  I worke
1 CONC d as a logger and then in different capacities for the Fis
1 CONC h Lumber Co.  I met and married Helene Fish while working a
1 CONC t her Dad's sawmill.
1 CONT We were married June 4th, l927 by a civil court and then wh
1 CONC en the Temple was opened in Mesa we received our endowment
1 CONC s on the 27th of October, l927.  We were married by Georg
1 CONC e Albert Smith who later became President of the Church.  H
1 CONC eber J. Grant was then President of the church and offere
1 CONC d the Dedicatory prayer.  After going through the veil in t
1 CONC he Temple we sat in the Temple lobby until 9:00 P.M.  We st
1 CONC arted the session at 7:00 A.M.  The workers were new and to
1 CONC ok considerable time to take the first group through.  Afte
1 CONC r our endowments at 6:00 P.M. we sat in the lobby three hou
1 CONC rs until 9:00 P.M. waiting to get married.  When Apostle Ge
1 CONC orge A. Smith found us he said, "Where in the hell have yo
1 CONC u been?"  "I have looked this whole town over, searched eve
1 CONC ry motel, called every residence on the phone.  Someone tol
1 CONC d me you had left the Temple."  My great admiration to Pres
1 CONC ident smiths' determination of trying to find two insignifi
1 CONC cant people who hadn't had their work completed that day
1 CONC .  Talking to him after we both cooled off a little, our ne
1 CONC rves frayed and on edge, my wife pregnant, stood all day, o
1 CONC ne roast beef sandwich served about 3:00 P.M., the best san
1 CONC dwich I have ever eaten in my life. We found in talking t
1 CONC o him that he was a distant relative of Helene Fish.  Broth
1 CONC er Joseph Brewer and Margaret, Don L. Hansen and his wife G
1 CONC eorgia accompanied us to the Temple.  There were so many pe
1 CONC ople attending the dedication that we had to sleep in our c
1 CONC ar.
1 CONT      Life was a struggle.  For water, my wife carried a bab
1 CONC y under each arm plus an egg pail and lard pail full of wat
1 CONC er from the lake. By the time she'd get home to do her wash
1 CONC ing, half the water would be spilled and the kids would b
1 CONC e crying, it was a chore.  I would be off working, no way o
1 CONC f getting water.  We lived about a half-mile from the lake
1 CONC . There was a spring where we got the water. We're still li
1 CONC ving in the same old place today.  We've lived here about 3
1 CONC 4 years.
1 CONT      In 1932 I hired out as a blacksmith for a road constru
1 CONC ction gang.  I worked for Warren Tinney as a blacksmith i
1 CONC n Winslow, Springerville and Geronimo.  In l933 I worked fo
1 CONC r Joe Nelson and Marian Rogers at Heber as a Blacksmith.  F
1 CONC rom l933 through l935 I worked for Packer and DeWell. We wo
1 CONC rked on highway 60 at Salt River and at Vernon. I worked th
1 CONC ese two different jobs as a blacksmith. I then hired out a
1 CONC s blacksmith for Sharp/Fellows out of Los Angeles. I worke
1 CONC d between LA and Dodge City, Kansas, staying at Dodge Cit
1 CONC y the winter of l934-35.  From l935-l939 I worked for ML Fi
1 CONC sh logging and sawmilling.  From October l938 to May l94
1 CONC 4 I ran a loader on a log pond for Southwest Lumber Mills d
1 CONC uring World War II.  I have spent a good portion of my lif
1 CONC e working in the sawmill business in different capacities
1 CONC .  I have built l0 sawmills and operated them for differen
1 CONC t owners and myself.  I once went into private business, bu
1 CONC ilt a mill over above Heber and operated it for a year
1 CONC .  I was foreman for southwest Lumber Mills over the firs
1 CONC t power saw gang in l946.  We moved to Mesa in l951 wher
1 CONC e I worked for Hallen and Packer as a plumber. I worked the
1 CONC re for one year and then in March, l952 I went to work fo
1 CONC r Mobile Homes as a finish carpenter. I worked for Canoel
1 CONC l and Hugh construction for one year.  I went to work for U
1 CONC tah Construction in San Manuel, Arizona in l953. I worked t
1 CONC here less than a year then went back to southwest lumber mi
1 CONC lls as a log skidder in the woods.  When that job ended I w
1 CONC ent to work for Henning and Turnbull building and runnin
1 CONC g a mill in McNary.  In l956 they sent me to New Mexico t
1 CONC o build and operate a mill in Quemado, New Mexico.  I staye
1 CONC d there till we ran out of timber and then came back to McN
1 CONC ary and ran the mill I built there until it burned down
1 CONC . I then went back to Quemado and moved the Quemado mill t
1 CONC o McNary where I ran it until l958 when I became ill.   Sin
1 CONC ce that time we've had a little business of our own, we cal
1 CONC l it the Gardner Water Co.  We furnish domestic water fo
1 CONC r a specified area.  I'm also a foreman for Navajo County n
1 CONC ow.
1 CONT In the Church I have taught several different Sunday Schoo
1 CONC l classes, 13 and 14 year olds for 7 years, priest class fo
1 CONC r 7 years.  I was responsible for the adult Aaronic Priesth
1 CONC ood and getting them ready for the Temple.  One Sunday morn
1 CONC ing I drove from Lakeside to Snowflake to Stake Conference
1 CONC . President David A. Butler said, "Well, I'm sure glad to s
1 CONC ee you Ralph, sure need to talk to you."  He called Apostl
1 CONC e Cowley and said, "Here's the man I want to make Presiden
1 CONC t of the first Quorum of Elders."  Well, it kind of set m
1 CONC e back, not expecting it and I told President Butler I wasn
1 CONC 't worthy to accept that position.  He said, "We're not ask
1 CONC ing you whether you're worthy or not, we want you to take t
1 CONC he job and do it."  I was 2nd Councilor to Bishop Jackson a
1 CONC fter being the Elders Quorum President. Bishop Jackson wa
1 CONC s the bishop of the Lakeside Ward.  I had great pleasure i
1 CONC n that calling. There was a lot of responsibility but a lo
1 CONC t of satisfaction.  Since Bishop Rhoton has been Bishop the
1 CONC y have put me in the Adult Aaronic Priesthood.  I said whe
1 CONC n I went in that if I got one man to go by my door to becom
1 CONC e an Elder I'd be happy.  In less than a year I had five me
1 CONC n become Elders and go by the door, taking their families t
1 CONC o the Temple. My cup was overflowing.  I think in time my w
1 CONC hole family will go through the Temple.
1 CONT      I put Duane on a mission in Brazil.  We didn't have an
1 CONC y money but decided to send him anyway.  I went to the pos
1 CONC t office one morning and received a check for $332 from a m
1 CONC an that owed me for a long time.  Went to Show Low the sam
1 CONC e day and a man yelled at me from across the street and wan
1 CONC ted to pay me a bill for $27.00, went on down the street an
1 CONC d another man paid me a bill for $9.00.  We received a grea
1 CONC t testimony from accepting this mission call.  Money came i
1 CONC n from every source.  We needed $600.00 for fare and clothe
1 CONC s.  The people of Lakeside gave him a party and he receive
1 CONC d around $400.00. Through the kindness of the people and th
1 CONC e Lord we were able to support Duane through an honorable m
1 CONC ission.  Then when Duane came back, a few months later, Geo
1 CONC rge was called to the Western States Mission with headquart
1 CONC ers in Denver, Colorado.  I had been sick and in the hospit
1 CONC al, unable to work on account of my health.  People though
1 CONC t we couldn't possibly send him on a mission but our fait
1 CONC h prompted us to send him. The people from Lakeside and th
1 CONC e surrounding wards gave him a party and he received bette
1 CONC r than $500.00 to help him on his way. Being unable to work
1 CONC , the money came and we never had so much food in our icebo
1 CONC x or had it so easy as when Duane and George were on thei
1 CONC r missions.  My health improving, Rollin Fish was Bishop a
1 CONC t the time, called me one evening after George had been ou
1 CONC t about a year, said that the authorities wanted George t
1 CONC o have a car.  He told them that I wasn't able to have a ca
1 CONC r but to wait and he would ask me.  He called me up and I s
1 CONC aid yes, Bishop, I can furnish him a car.  He asked me whe
1 CONC n I would be able to deliver the car in Denver. I said I wo
1 CONC uld deliver it a week from next Friday. Not having any mone
1 CONC y nor not knowing where I would get a car I knew that a wa
1 CONC y would be opened.  I contacted several car dealers withou
1 CONC t any results.  The day before we were supposed to go to De
1 CONC nver, everything fell into place and we were able to ge
1 CONC t a nice car and enough money for Helene, Sherry and I to g
1 CONC o to Denver.  Helene and Sherry wanted to know what time w
1 CONC e would get there and I told them about two o'clock Saturda
1 CONC y afternoon.  We arrived almost on the minute.  Sherry wa
1 CONC s driving and I was watching the map, we drove directly t
1 CONC o Elder Basset's apartment.  George used the car for the re
1 CONC st of his mission without any expense.  When he came home s
1 CONC ome kids wanted to go to Robert's Ranch swimming about l5 m
1 CONC iles on Whiteriver.  On the way the transmission went out o
1 CONC f the car and had to be towed in.  George said, "Dad, wha
1 CONC t do you want me to do with the car?"  I said, "I don't car
1 CONC e, it has served its purpose."  George served an honorabl
1 CONC e mission.
1 CONT      One Sunday morning while George was on his mission, i
1 CONC n Denver, he was in the Western States Mission, I had an id
1 CONC ea to send Glen to Weldon Witts and Wayne Hansen's and invi
1 CONC te them to Priesthood.  They both accepted.  Immediately af
1 CONC ter that invitation they both became active in the church
1 CONC .  They immediately became Elders and took their families t
1 CONC o the Temple. I've had great joy in the work I've done in t
1 CONC he Church.
1 CONT       While George was on his mission I went to work for H.
1 CONC L. Barnett in the White Mountains. I worked 4 1/2 years fo
1 CONC r them.  I quit the oak job, with Barnett, and went to wor
1 CONC k for Eldon Stratton and Hal Butler. I moved a sawmill fro
1 CONC m Apache Creek, New Mexico to White River.
1 CONT      Nov. l7, l962 I started working for the Navajo Count
1 CONC y roads Department where I am still employed.  I am forema
1 CONC n now but started out as crewman for Hal Butler.
1 CONT      One other thing I wanted to mention before I forget
1 CONC .  While I was working for Navajo Co. My wife and I, in l96
1 CONC 3 took the Navajo County booth to the State Fair in Phoenix
1 CONC . We won second place out of the fourteen counties that wer
1 CONC e entered.  In l965 we went back again and won fifth place
1 CONC .  Now they've assigned us to go in l966 and we're keepin
1 CONC g our fingers crossed hoping we can come back with somethin
1 CONC g for this particular part of the country.
1 CONT      After my employment with Navajo Co. I went to Page an
1 CONC d went into business with Harvey. While in Page I was calle
1 CONC d to work with the Indian people as a Stake Missionary.  {I
1 CONC t was here in Page that Dad lost his life.  He had a bloo
1 CONC d vein in his brain burst while driving and became unconsci
1 CONC ous, driving his truck into the lake and drowning.}
1 CONT       My life has been full and complete, having been bor
1 CONC n unto us four boys and four girls: Pearl the oldest, Nin
1 CONC a the next, Harvey, Duane, George, Ida May, Sherry and Glen
1 CONC .  We had the misfortune of loosing Ida May when she was tw
1 CONC enty-one days old.  It's been a great sorrow in our life bu
1 CONC t we realize that she is watching over us and trying to lea
1 CONC d us through our trials and tribulations to points beyond t
1 CONC hat we cannot comprehend.  We are indeed grateful for the t
1 CONC hings that we have been privileged to enjoy having been bor
1 CONC n under dire circumstances.  I appreciate everything tha
1 CONC t I had, my food, clothing and what luxuries that we've bee
1 CONC n able to afford.
1 CONT  Mazel Penrod married our oldest daughter Pearl and he i
1 CONC s a wonderful man in that everything he does he does well a
1 CONC nd he would make a wonderful leader if he would just consid
1 CONC er himself as such and not be his own worst enemy.  I admir
1 CONC e him for the kindness he shows to his aged parents and con
1 CONC sideration to my daughter Pearl. Pearl is big hearted and c
1 CONC onsiderate. She is so considerate of Helene and me and woul
1 CONC d give us anything she thought we needed.
1 CONT After Ernie started going with Nina his whole life change
1 CONC d and he has progressed a long way.  I baptized and confirm
1 CONC ed him in Lakeside and ordained him an elder in Tucson. Nin
1 CONC a has stuck with him through thick and thin, through all hi
1 CONC s doubts about the church and has been an anchor to Ernie
1 CONC .  Nina being the sweet girl she is doesn't hurt anyone's f
1 CONC eelings. I can always tell when she is in trouble, in nee
1 CONC d of money or coming home. She has been a real blessing t
1 CONC o us.
1 CONT What I love about Harvey is his attitude and ability in get
1 CONC ting along with everyone. The help he gives people, the wa
1 CONC y he praises me for giving him the opportunity to know ho
1 CONC w to work and get ahead.  Darlene is a jewel among jewels a
1 CONC nd their children also.  Last time we were in Page, Douglas
1 CONC , their youngest boy was standing on the sidewalk and as w
1 CONC e drove away I said, "bye, bye, Doug." He said, "bye, bye
1 CONC , honey."  That was worth the entire trip to see them.
1 CONT Duane is a wonderful man.  The hardest working man I have e
1 CONC ver known. He has a personality all of his own a real dee
1 CONC p thinker and studies all the time.  He has an unusual tale
1 CONC nt and a natural gift as a piano player. He has a determina
1 CONC tion to succeed and Jeanette sticks by him all the time. Th
1 CONC ey have three wonderful girls, outstanding and brilliant.
1 CONT George, teacher of music, taught in Lakeside school for tw
1 CONC o years. Outstanding in his ability as music teacher.  Taug
1 CONC ht in Thatcher one year, and is a teacher now in St. John
1 CONC s High School.  Married Marie Haynie from Pima and they hav
1 CONC e three children.  Marie is one of the most industrious eco
1 CONC nomical women that could possibly be. In fact, we think al
1 CONC l of our daughter-in-laws cannot be excelled in their loyal
1 CONC ty to their husbands and children.  Sherry one of most outs
1 CONC tanding babies and teenagers we have had.  Has always bee
1 CONC n adult in her mind. She knows our wishes and desires and w
1 CONC hat we have wanted from her. She married Larrie Thomas in t
1 CONC he Mesa Temple.  DeCall, Sherry & Larrie's first born was b
1 CONC orn in February. l0 month's later twins were born to them
1 CONC , Darrin and Devin, both were incubator babies but well an
1 CONC d happy now.  They call them the three D's.  In a little wh
1 CONC ile it will be three devils.  Larrie is a wonderful, ambiti
1 CONC ous man, who filled an honorable mission, loves family, wor
1 CONC ks hard and has great talent in the mechanical field.  Livi
1 CONC ng in Las Vegas, working as an apprentice in a Machine shop.
1 CONT      {Sherry says she lost a page of this history, which wa
1 CONC s telling of her Dads love for Glen.  He talked more abou
1 CONC t Glen than anyone because Glen and Dad worked together o
1 CONC n the water Co.  Glen taking over when Daddy was sick.  Gle
1 CONC n being the last one at home when things were a little mor
1 CONC e relaxed and Daddy was really proud of Glen.}  George is t
1 CONC he only one that finished off his college degree and he di
1 CONC d it on his own, practically no help from us.  Harvey had s
1 CONC ome college education did it on his own.  Duane had some an
1 CONC d he also did it on his own.  Sherry had some college and s
1 CONC he did it on her own also.  Having eight children it's awfu
1 CONC lly hard to put them through college.
1 CONT      Hobbies--I love to fish.  Have spent many days with He
1 CONC lene's' brother Glen all over the White Mountain area and h
1 CONC ave had many happy days together.  I have been so busy I di
1 CONC dn't have time to peel potatoes.  I even married a fish.  T
1 CONC hat day I was a sucker, Ha-Ha.
1 CONT  I went deep-sea fishing with Bishop Rhoton down in Old Mex
1 CONC ico.  I caught one and I hooked one but of course it got aw
1 CONC ay.  I also love to hunt; have shot turkey, blue grouse, de
1 CONC er, mountain lions and bear.
1 CONT      The last thing Daddy told me to write was to put him d
1 CONC own as ONE WHO LOVES HIS FELLOWMAN.

1 CONT HISTORY OF HELENE FISH GARDNER
1 CONT 
1 CONT Recorded & Transcribed by George & Marie Gardner
1 CONT May 1966
1 CONT 
1 CONT I was born in Lakeside, Arizona down in the granary that Ma
1 CONC ma had cleaned out for us to live in. It belonged to Gramp
1 CONC a Fish, (John L. Fish) who came into Lakeside as a pionee
1 CONC r and set up a store here.  The Granary was down by the cre
1 CONC ek back of Donald Fish's on Billy Creek. I was born the 19t
1 CONC h of Aug. 1909. From here we moved out on a ranch by Jacque
1 CONC s's out by Porter Mountain. Allen Burke lived out there als
1 CONC o. We used to come into town with him in his horse and bugg
1 CONC y. We lived here four or five years and then moved to Sho
1 CONC w Low. When I was eight I was baptized, in the Show Low cre
1 CONC ek, by Uncle John Brewer.  When I was a little kid in Sho
1 CONC w Low I remember I used to climb apple trees and take the b
1 CONC ird eggs, just to keep, because they were such a pretty col
1 CONC or.  In Show Low we lived across the creek in a place calle
1 CONC d the old Uening Ranch, it had an old hotel and post office
1 CONC . I remember I was afraid to go around it because they sai
1 CONC d one room was haunted. Some fellow was killed in there an
1 CONC d they said some of the girls went to bed in there one nigh
1 CONC t and they found a fellow under their bed.  We lived in a b
1 CONC ig old house and Aunt Flossy, (Mama's sister) and Uncle Ab
1 CONC e (Flossy's husband) lived in one part of the house and w
1 CONC e lived in the rest. We used to walk across the creek to g
1 CONC o to school, I can remember taking our lunches.  After we l
1 CONC eft Show Low we moved to our big house in Lakeside across f
1 CONC rom Lloyd Rhoton's where the Seminary is now.  When I was e
1 CONC ight years old I began playing the drums in the Fish Orches
1 CONC tra and then when I was thirteen I began playing the piano
1 CONC . The members of the Fish Orchestra were: Mrs. Augusta Lars
1 CONC on and Lettie Savage played the piano, Daddy played the vio
1 CONC lin, I played the drums, Mama played 2nd violin when we fir
1 CONC st started playing. Then when I began playing the piano, Gl
1 CONC en, my brother, played the Tenor Sax. also Bb Alto Sax, the
1 CONC n we got eight or ten pieces going. We had Ikie Truscott o
1 CONC n the trumpet, Paul Rodriquez, trumpet, Stanley Stevens, Ba
1 CONC njo, Bill Burke, Sax, Grant Penrod, piano, and Jim Ross, Tr
1 CONC ombone; we had a real swinging band. We played twelve year
1 CONC s steady at the Swing Center in Eager. Daddy always had a b
1 CONC ig Chrysler and
1 CONT 
1 CONT We nearly always went to the dances with him. Sometimes som
1 CONC e of the horn players would take their own cars.
1 CONT Two or three times when the snow was so deep we had to sta
1 CONC y out all night because we couldn't get in. One night ther
1 CONC e was a big blizzard, first daddy would get out and clean t
1 CONC he windshield then Ralph (my Husband) would get out and bot
1 CONC h got soaking wet. We finally got stuck in a snow bank an
1 CONC d had to stay out all night, we liked to froze to death. Th
1 CONC is was on the other side of Vernon somewhere on that stretc
1 CONC h.
1 CONT Each of us would usually get $10.00 for playing, $10.00 fo
1 CONC r the car and $10.00 for each of us. Today, when we play, w
1 CONC e usually don't get anything but we never charge more tha
1 CONC n $10.00 a piece.
1 CONT Some of the places we had played for dances are: Flagstaff
1 CONC , Winslow, Joe City, Holbrook, Snowflake, Taylor, White Riv
1 CONC er, For Apache, Mesa, Casa Grande, Lehi, San Manuel, Reserv
1 CONC e, New Mexico, Pinedale, Linden, Concho, Vernon, Sanders an
1 CONC d Luna New Mexico, Gallup New Mexico. I used to think I wa
1 CONC s real smart, thought they couldn't get along without me, n
1 CONC ow I find out the can real easy.
1 CONT I guess we had more fun playing in Vernon than anywhere bec
1 CONC ause everyone liked to dance and they would have a big banq
1 CONC uet and feed us. We'd eat, dance, and eat some more. Everyo
1 CONC ne treated you so darn good. Sometimes they'd give me $10.0
1 CONC 0, and sometimes 100lbs of beans or a sack of spuds.
1 CONT We really had big dances at the Blue Moon. Everyone dance
1 CONC d there. It was located where the Maxwell house is now in S
1 CONC how Low. Joe West built it. They used to roller skate ther
1 CONC e in the day and danced at night. They had big crowds ther
1 CONC e and I made pretty big money there, it has since burned do
1 CONC wn.
1 CONT I played in a few bars in my life too, in Pinetop. I used t
1 CONC o really make good money there. Just about got a divorce pl
1 CONC aying for those bar dances however. Everyone was drunk an
1 CONC d falling all over the piano stool and Ralph told me to eit
1 CONC her get out or get myself a new husband, so l quit. They'
1 CONC d give me $10.00 for playing and then they would feed the k
1 CONC itty, which would make thirty-five or forty dollars. The de
1 CONC ntist's and doctors would be so drunk that they would thro
1 CONC w in 15 or 20 dollars just for one song. So you can see wh
1 CONC y I hated to quit but I had to. I made big money and didn'
1 CONC t have to play so hard.
1 CONT Ralph would just sit around while everyone was drinking an
1 CONC d dancing. The men would call him chicken and he would ge
1 CONC t so disgusted that he'd go out and sit in the car till th
1 CONC e dance was out.
1 CONT 
1 CONT 
1 CONT I finally taught Ralph to play the drums. This was in 195
1 CONC 2 when Ralph was 50 years old. We had to have a drummer fo
1 CONC r this dance that was already scheduled. No one was aroun
1 CONC d to play so Ralph had to learn how. I'd sit him here and p
1 CONC ractice him for two or three hours. He said I'd turn aroun
1 CONC d and give him a dirty look every time he made a mistake bu
1 CONC t I don't remember doing lit.
1 CONT They used to have an old pavilion out on the Lake  (in Lake
1 CONC side) that belonged to my dad and Mr. Rhoton. It was way ou
1 CONC t over the Lake on big beams. They called it the open air
1 CONC , only it really wasn't, because it was screened half way u
1 CONC p and had a roof. Anyway we used to have big dances there
1 CONC . Of course in those days there wasn't much to do but danc
1 CONC e so everyone danced.
1 CONT In the winter they would put canvas over the screens an
1 CONC d a big oil drum in the middle of the house to keep warm, t
1 CONC hen we would go ahead and dance. We would keep it loaded u
1 CONC p with fire and would dance winter and summer. It was a rea
1 CONC l good place to dance and we had big crowds, we had bette
1 CONC r times then, than they do now.
1 CONT It seems like I was always working in one saw mill or anoth
1 CONC er, waiting on the crew, cooking, scrubbing board floors o
1 CONC r helping cook for the saw mill crew. I did most of my cook
1 CONC ing at the old sawmill up above Pinetop. We used to cook fo
1 CONC r 40 or 50 men all the time.
1 CONT We had a lot of fights in the old cook shack. I remember on
1 CONC e time Dan McNeil and Wally Calvin had a real doozy of a fi
1 CONC ght. Wally Calvin came in an sat down, then when Dan McNei
1 CONC l came in he came over and slapped Wally off his seat, the
1 CONC n they had a real ring-tailed fight, knocked the whole tabl
1 CONC e over, food and all. Dan told Wally to get out of his plac
1 CONC e and Wally said that no one had any certain place to sit
1 CONC . Dan said "well that was his place and he'd better get out
1 CONC ." Wally just kept on eating so Dan knocked him off his cha
1 CONC ir and this made the whole gang mad, so everyone got into t
1 CONC he fight and we really had a ring-tailed fight, all the foo
1 CONC d was upset, benches were turned over and we really had qui
1 CONC te a time.
1 CONT We had both single and married men to feed. All the saw mil
1 CONC l men, the men who worked in the log woods, even the brus
1 CONC h pilers ate at the cook shack.
1 CONT When I wasn't very big I used to pack slabs for a dollar da
1 CONC y out at Vernon. There were four of us kids, Roy Johnson, G
1 CONC len, Blanch, & myself. They paid $4.00 a day for all four o
1 CONC f us to stack slabs.
1 CONT When I was a girl Blanch (Johnson, later Brown) and I use
1 CONC d to like to play baseball with the boys while the other gi
1 CONC rls would just sit around.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Frank Hansen would say, "good hell, do we have to play wit
1 CONC h those damn girls again"? "Can't we play a game with out t
1 CONC hem?" George Hansen and Erwin Hansen would say, "Oh we can'
1 CONC t play a game without Helene and Blanch". So Frank would ge
1 CONC t back and pitch like nothing, he'd pitch just as hard as h
1 CONC e could and try to hit us anywhere he could, just to get ri
1 CONC d of us. We'd always manage to get to play though.
1 CONT Sometimes we'd get to be about as good as players as they w
1 CONC ere and they didn't like that either. We could knock the ba
1 CONC ll about as far as they could.
1 CONT We played basketball some but I didn't like it as well as b
1 CONC aseball. We used to play basketball at McNary and they ha
1 CONC d a little tiny girl, I weighed about 150lbs then, I was pr
1 CONC etty husky, everyone was afraid of me. This little old gir
1 CONC l was their forward and she would try to get the ball and s
1 CONC he couldn't because I always had it. The boys and everyon
1 CONC e would whistle at her, "get that ball." She then spit al
1 CONC l over me and said "I can't get around that damn, big fat
1 CONC , sow." She was wearing those big black satin bloomers wit
1 CONC h spit running all down them. I grabbed her pants, wound he
1 CONC r up by the seat and threw her just as far as I could thro
1 CONC w her, outside of the line. Mrs. Larson and all the other s
1 CONC choolteachers were all happy about it; they started yelling
1 CONC , "goody, goody," but Mr. Larson went by and told Mrs. Lars
1 CONC on to shut her mouth and then said, "replace her, put someb
1 CONC ody else in". I don't know. I liked basketball but not as w
1 CONC ell as baseball. I didn't have as much fun with it; it wasn
1 CONC 't as much competition.
1 CONT I really got a thrill out of baseball. We got so we couldn'
1 CONC t play with the girls, because we got used to hitting the s
1 CONC wift balls the boys threw. The girls would throw them to sl
1 CONC ow.
1 CONT The boys couldn't skate, couldn't swim, play ball, or do an
1 CONC ything without us two. We followed them around like a coupl
1 CONC e of kittens.
1 CONT We thought we were pretty good swimmers too. We swam down h
1 CONC ere in the little lake most generally. Sometimes we'd tak
1 CONC e boat rides, play guitars, banjos out on the lake and the
1 CONC n go swimming in the middle of the big lake, but when we re
1 CONC ally wanted to swim went to the little lake, because they h
1 CONC ad a scaffold on it. We'd dive there. Blanch and I was scar
1 CONC ed but we didn't want anyone to know it, we'd jump and div
1 CONC e just as high as the next one. We would practically spli
1 CONC t our self's open by doing belly flops. We swam the littl
1 CONC e dam to the big dam seven times without ever stopping, jus
1 CONC t hitting the dam with our finger and then swimming to th
1 CONC e next. We had to float a little bit to rest but we never d
1 CONC id stop, we almost lived in the lake
1 CONT 
1 CONT Swimming. We used to like to do that, which is about the on
1 CONC ly recreation they had then besides picnicking, and boat ri
1 CONC ding.
1 CONT In the winter when the ice froze over we'd ice skate. We ha
1 CONC d a lot of fun ice skating then, but it doesn't freeze ove
1 CONC r now like it did then. Anna Jackson used to beat me out o
1 CONC n ice skating though. I was always a little jealous becaus
1 CONC e I thought I was better than her in most things and when s
1 CONC he could out skate me, I didn't like it. She could skate li
1 CONC ke a whiz; I was never good on skates like she was.
1 CONT They've had some bad accidents in the lake; they lost Roy J
1 CONC ohnson in the lake ice-skating. He got his skates on Christ
1 CONC mas day and drowned the same day. There was a warm spring t
1 CONC hat made the ice thin, most everyone knew where it was, bu
1 CONC t it never did freeze over there and that's what he hit. Ev
1 CONC ery other place on the lake they had run log trucks over. H
1 CONC e was going at such a speed that it shot him way under th
1 CONC e ice, they found his cap the next day and he was a long wa
1 CONC ys from where he went under. He was a real fast skater. Fra
1 CONC nk Shinn was duck hunting when he drowned. The Lee boy (Mar
1 CONC ion Lee) was duck hunting also; he went swimming for the du
1 CONC cks that he killed. Earl Amos just drowned from swimming. H
1 CONC e got a cramp. Ed Mooder was fishing and fell from the boa
1 CONC t and drowned. Last winter two boys were duck hunting and t
1 CONC hey tried to go out after the ones they had killed on the i
1 CONC ce. The ice kept breaking and it took them both. They staye
1 CONC d alive quite awhile even in the ice water but they finall
1 CONC y went under before anyone could get out there to help them.
1 CONT We use to go to church and Sunday School on what they use
1 CONC d to call the old bowery, when I was just a little girl, al
1 CONC l lit was, was a wood floor and pine needles and boughs ove
1 CONC r the top for shelter and keep the sun off.
1 CONT Then we went to Aunt Belle Hanson's schoolhouse; they ha
1 CONC d a school and everything.
1 CONT I just started the 2nd year high when your Dad and I got ma
1 CONC rried. I never did get my 8th grade diploma though becaus
1 CONC e I couldn't get arithmetic. Mr. Larson said he couldn't ho
1 CONC ld me back because I was the best in English and spelling o
1 CONC f the class but I didn't know anything about arithmetic s
1 CONC o he never did give me my diploma but let me go on to 1st y
1 CONC ear high.
1 CONT We used to run the hotel, the old Rhoton house, I had an ol
1 CONC d school teacher, she was just a young girl, just out of sc
1 CONC hool, she let me go for 2 years just for cleaning her room
1 CONC , not making me do my arithmetic, so, I got by. I never di
1 CONC d catch up and never did learn what I should have learned
1 CONC . This teacher really did foul me up by letting me get by
1 CONC , I thought I was really cutting a rug then though. She sta
1 CONC yed two years and
1 CONT 
1 CONT Ran me around like a little suckling calf waiting on her ha
1 CONC nd and foot and she wouldn't make me do my work, letting m
1 CONC e get by without it.
1 CONT I never did have too many piano lessons, Mrs. Foster was m
1 CONC y first teacher, and then Zak Farr then Mrs. Larson gave m
1 CONC e a few lessons.
1 CONT Mrs. Augusta Larson used to play it over for me once then I
1 CONC 'd just play it by ear. I got by that way for years. She di
1 CONC dn't know for a long time that I couldn't read the notes. S
1 CONC ometimes I'd get my fingering mixed up and then she'd whac
1 CONC k me with the ruler I didn't know a thing about the music
1 CONC . I was just playing by ear, I always got the music right t
1 CONC hough just by watching and listening to her.
1 CONT I got married when I was 17 going on 18; I married Ralph Ha
1 CONC rvey Gardner. He came up to the cook shack to see his siste
1 CONC r Ida, she was working at the shack. I was kidding him tha
1 CONC t I had a date with Bill Brown. Bill was trying to get me t
1 CONC o go with him and I told him I had a date with Ralph. I rea
1 CONC lly didn't but I was trying to keep from going with him. S
1 CONC o after Bill left, Ralph said, "well come on lets go to th
1 CONC e show" and I said "Oh I was just trying to get rid of Bill
1 CONC " Ralph said "Well you might as well come and go then", s
1 CONC o I went.
1 CONT After that Ralph quit his job at Winslow, working on the Sa
1 CONC nta Fe, and came up here and went to work for my dad. He wo
1 CONC uld get real jealous if I'd even look at any other men. I s
1 CONC tarted going with him steady and then married him. He had t
1 CONC o borrow money, from his brother Joe, in order to buy my we
1 CONC dding ring and get gas to go to Holbrook so we could get ma
1 CONC rried. That same day we bought a new car. A new 1927 Chevy
1 CONC .  We thought we had a real good car, it would do all of si
1 CONC xty miles an hour. When I first started going with Ralph h
1 CONC e had an old model "T" and we thought we were really hittin
1 CONC g the rug and then we got this Chevy. We went to Holbrook i
1 CONC n our new car and were married in the courthouse there.
1 CONT That night everyone was out trying to cheveree us. Daddy ha
1 CONC d given us a two room house and we had it moved downtown s
1 CONC o everyone was up to the saw mill trying to find us and w
1 CONC e had taken some old bed rolls to the house up there and di
1 CONC dn't even know anyone was looking for us. They said they hu
1 CONC nted all over the country but they never did find us.
1 CONT In our family Duane plays the piano by ear like I do, he do
1 CONC esn't know too much about music. George and Sherry are th
1 CONC e only ones that know anything about reading music, Georg
1 CONC e is a music teacher, he majored in music, can play swing o
1 CONC r band and Sherry she can read anything she's pretty good a
1 CONC t reading music, she taught herself a lot.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Then Harvey he played for a long time on the trombone but h
1 CONC e gave it up, he could have been real good, but he just ski
1 CONC pped it and let it go. Nina & Pearl could both play a littl
1 CONC e by ear but they wouldn't do anything about it.
1 CONT One day Dad wanted George to go help him do some work but h
1 CONC e was still in bed and Dad didn't want to wake him. So I sa
1 CONC id I'll get him out of bed without asking him, and Ralph sa
1 CONC id, "Well how in the world can you do that. He was up lat
1 CONC e last night. I said  "Well I can pretty easy, just leave i
1 CONC t up to me." I went into the piano, lifted up the lid and b
1 CONC egan to play 12th street rag and here came George pulling u
1 CONC p his pants and picking up his horn with his other hand
1 CONC . I got him out of bed real easy.
1 CONT George would be over to school playing football, with the l
1 CONC ake in between us, music could carry if I happened to hav
1 CONC e the lid up and the door open. I'd start to play and he'
1 CONC d leave the football game. He came home just a running an
1 CONC d he'd get that horn and play until I got tired of playin
1 CONC g then he'd go over to Anna Jackson's and get her to play
1 CONC . He used to run her to death. Anna was the first one tha
1 CONC t gave George his big start in music. He never had a musi
1 CONC c lesson in his life that he paid for, but he'd go over t
1 CONC o pester Anna. He went up to Flagstaff to the music festiva
1 CONC l and got a superior the very first time he played. Anna al
1 CONC ways helped him; she always took him in.
1 CONT When I was in Mesa, when Glen was born, I got the "Milk Leg
1 CONC ". They had to tie the main blood vein in my leg, so the bl
1 CONC ood clot wouldn't get up into my chest. We lived down ther
1 CONC e two or three years, until the doctor would let me come ba
1 CONC ck, my doctors were Dr. Kent and Dr. Philmore.
1 CONT Sherry Ann got run over by a car while we lived there. Mam
1 CONC a owned a furniture store and Sherry would go over there be
1 CONC cause they would give her nickels. She ran across the roa
1 CONC d one day to get some money and some car hit her, I didn'
1 CONC t know anything about it because they took her to the hospi
1 CONC tal, they called us from there. She had a broken leg.
1 CONT Nina stayed with Sherry in Mesa until her leg healed and th
1 CONC e rest of us moved back to Lakeside.
1 CONT Daddy built us a house down there, we had moved back to Lak
1 CONC eside but Nina and Sherry were still there. They had come u
1 CONC p to Grant Penrod's wedding dance and the house burned dow
1 CONC n that night. A bunch of kids set it on fire. All our furni
1 CONC ture and papers, deeds to this place all burned. Everythin
1 CONC g went up that was real valuable, pictures and things we ca
1 CONC n't replace. Everything went up.
1 CONT Ralph and I had eight children, Pearl the oldest, Nina, Har
1 CONC vey, Duane, George, Ida May, Sherry and Glen.
1 CONT 
1 CONT 
1 CONT 
1 CONT We now have nineteen grand kids, no great grandchildren bu
1 CONC t from the looks of some of the grand kids, it won't be t
1 CONC o far off.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Some additions by Marie Gardner
1 CONT 
1 CONT A few things were told to me after this was written tha
1 CONC t I would like to add.
1 CONT In addition to the places she has listed that she has playe
1 CONC d, she has also played at Eager, Page and Las Vegas.
1 CONT Some of the other people who have played in the original Fi
1 CONC sh Orchestra are: Les Fellton, Trombone, Ross Fish, drums H
1 CONC arvey Gardner, trombone and Samone played saxophone and bas
1 CONC s.
1 CONT She said after these dances, the house would be so cold the
1 CONC y would have to build a fire and heat their flat irons on t
1 CONC hem and then take them to bed with them to keep warm.
1 CONT One story I would like to have put in this history is this
1 CONC : Ralph and Helene went to Whiteriver by truck, when Pear
1 CONC l was a baby. Helene was eighteen at the time. The sawmil
1 CONC l had burned down in Lakeside, and the trip to Whiteriver w
1 CONC as for pipe to rebuild it. The truck broke down on the wa
1 CONC y home. It wasn't much of a road they were on, just a well-
1 CONC worn cow trail. Ralph worked on the truck, but to no avail
1 CONC . It was getting late in the day so they decided to walk ba
1 CONC ck. They walked and walked through the canyon, and soon i
1 CONC t turned pitch black outside. They kept hearing a baby's cr
1 CONC y in the distance, and Ralph kept telling Helene it was jus
1 CONC t a burro. After nightfall they could see two eyes followin
1 CONC g behind them.
1 CONT Helene, breast-feeding Pearl as they walked along the way
1 CONC , was no easy chore on that old road. Of course Ralph could
1 CONC n't help because of the fact he didn't have the element t
1 CONC o keep Pearl satisfied. Pearl being cold and having wet dia
1 CONC pers helped very little. Nearing the Cooley Ranch. At the M
1 CONC ilk ranch they caught a ride into Lakeside. What had been f
1 CONC ollowing in the dark? A Lion. Why had Ralph insisted Helen
1 CONC e nurse all those miles? So the lion wouldn't attack at th
1 CONC e baby's crying.
1 CONT At one of the many dances Helene Played for, Milo Wiltban
1 CONC k wrote a poem about Helene.

1 CONT In 1958 Ralph and Helene moved to Page to help Harvey buil
1 CONC d an ice plant. Helene helped Ralph deliver the ice, helpe
1 CONC d load the trucks and also pulled the ice and sacked it. Sh
1 CONC e could out-work anyone in the ice plant, put out more ic
1 CONC e than anyone else working in the plant. Many a night the
1 CONC y would get up at 2:am in the morning to pull ice to take o
1 CONC ut the next morning.
1 CONT After Ralph died Helene stayed on in Page for a couple of y
1 CONC ears working in the ice plant in the summer and living in L

1 CONT STORIES ABOUT FAY IVAN GARDNER
1 CONT TOLD BY HIS CHILDREN
1 CONT 
1 CONT Recorded August 5th 1976 at the Gardner Reunion
1 CONT Lakeside, Arizona
1 CONT 
1 CONT 
1 CONT Joe Gardner:
1 CONT I don't think I minded being called Joe, but it irritated G
1 CONC randma to have people call me Joe. I worked out at the Jaqu
1 CONC es Ranch for many years, I don't know if any of you know th
1 CONC e Jacques's. They were anti-Mormon and didn't like us ver
1 CONC y well.  I worked a good many years out there and she alway
1 CONC s called me Joseph. But Joe is what I've gone by for so man
1 CONC y years; I hardly answer to the name Joseph.
1 CONT Well, above all, Granddad Gardner was honest. He had a dee
1 CONC p feeling for the church and its authenticity. He always st
1 CONC ood up for his kids. I remember the first time I went to Ho
1 CONC lbrook with him; he was the county assessor at that time. H
1 CONC olbrook was anti-Mormon. At one time you were almost afrai
1 CONC d to claim your membership in the Mormon Church. It was s
1 CONC o bad. But, no matter what company Dad was in, he would ge
1 CONC t hold of our hand and say, "this is my son Joseph and my s
1 CONC on Ralph".  He always made us acquainted with everyone arou
1 CONC nd the courthouse and we appreciated that. He was proud o
1 CONC f his family. He was very proud of all his family and showe
1 CONC d it all of the time.
1 CONT He was a strict person and yet he loved all his kids.
1 CONT He was a great horseman and was known for his Bronco Bustin
1 CONC g. He was known as one of the greatest broncobusters in th
1 CONC e area, for his age. He suffered from that, however. I don'
1 CONC t remember just how old he was but he had great ulcers com
1 CONC e all over his chest and almost died. We finally got him in
1 CONC to a hospital in Albuquerque and they had a hard time savin
1 CONC g his life because he was so shook up from riding broncos
1 CONC . He was known all over the area, by all the cowboys, a
1 CONC s a great broncobuster.
1 CONT He believed in treating his fellow men as they should be tr
1 CONC eated.  I remember one time he had a man by the name of Joh
1 CONC n Freeman, who was a supervisor in Snowflake, he was comin
1 CONC g by Woodruff to pick up Dad and take him into Holbrook
1 CONC . I think I was going with them, I came out and I said, "
1 CONC I wonder when old freeman is going to come around." Well, h
1 CONC e just about beat me to death because I didn't say Mr. Free
1 CONC man. He said, "that's Mr. Freeman, not old man Freeman".  W
1 CONC ell, that's a fine character to plant in your children, t
1 CONC o honor the older people and not talk of them, like I did
1 CONC , as old man Freeman.
1 CONT He believed in living the gospel. He never was very activ
1 CONC e within the church, but the last thing Dad did, before h
1 CONC e died, was address an envelope to his Bishop with his tith
1 CONC ing in it. He died before that tithing money was delivere
1 CONC d to his Bishop.  He believed in all the principles of th
1 CONC e Gospel and he lived them and he was a great man. I'm prou
1 CONC d of my heritage and I'm proud that I'm a son of Fay Gardne

1 CONT Ida:
1 CONT I don't remember too much about Dad, because I was gone mos
1 CONC t of my life, working somewhere, so I never did get to kno
1 CONC w Dad.  I'd come home for a visit for a few days or mayb
1 CONC e a week and then I was gone again, so I don't remember muc
1 CONC h about Dad. The only thing that impressed me, when I was y
1 CONC ounger, was the fact that he was such a stickler for bein
1 CONC g on time. "You kids just stay home if you're going to go l
1 CONC ate," and he meant it. He'd just rather we stayed home fro
1 CONC m church or Sunday school, if we went in late and disturbe
1 CONC d everyone else.  He used to say to us, "good gosh almighty
1 CONC , you'll be late for your own funeral" and these are the th
1 CONC ings I remember about him, more than really knowing his ear
1 CONC ly life or his background.

1 CONT Helene
1 CONT I remember one time, when they lived on the Scott Ranch, Gr
1 CONC andma and Granddad one Monday came to church. Uncle Dame wa
1 CONC s sitting on the steps of his house and Granddad said, "wha
1 CONC t's the matter with that old man, why doesn't he come and o
1 CONC pen up this church house? Everyone is going to be late."  S
1 CONC o, he walked over and thought he'd tell Uncle Dame off. "Wh
1 CONC y don't you get things done on time? I don't like to be lat
1 CONC e for things. And Uncle Dame said, "Well, Uncle Fay, ......
1 CONC ......we had church Yesterday."
1 CONT 
1 CONT Paul:
1 CONT This is Paul.  As I remember Dad, he was a quick tempered m
1 CONC an, when he had his ire up, but immediately when it was ove
1 CONC r, he could apologize and tell you he was sorry in a way th
1 CONC at you knew that he meant it, and this brought him many, ma
1 CONC ny friends. I remember one time Joe was talking about bein
1 CONC g respectful to the older people. When we lived on the Scot
1 CONC t Ranch, we had a couple of men working for us and one morn
1 CONC ing Dad told me to go down and tell the guys, "we're goin
1 CONC g over to this certain hay field today and fix it up".  I w
1 CONC alked into the corral and said,  "the old man says we'll g
1 CONC o over and pitch hay today" and about that time the world f
1 CONC ell in.  The "Old Man" was right behind me with a piece o
1 CONC f double rope and we had a little foot race around the barn
1 CONC . That was one of his great things, you talked to him wit
1 CONC h respect and never sassed him back, if you did, you were i
1 CONC n trouble.
1 CONT He logged with the Fish Lumber Co. and was very honest wit
1 CONC h his work. He was an outstanding workman.  He could do mos
1 CONC t things that he set his mind to. He was a great guy and w
1 CONC e should always remember him as one of the finest men in th
1 CONC e town of Lakeside.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Pearl:
1 CONT The thing I remember about Granddad was his generosity. I r
1 CONC emember Grandmother baking 11 loaves of bread and giving 1
1 CONC 0 away. Granddad always thought people were in worse shap
1 CONC e than he was. He always wanted Grandma to divide up the fo
1 CONC od, divide the money; whatever they had they wanted to shar
1 CONC e with everybody. I remember the time Nina and I were stayi
1 CONC ng at Grandma and Granddad's and Nina decided to run away
1 CONC . Mom was playing for a dance, there was a terrible lightni
1 CONC ng storm and Grandma started out after Nina. As she starte
1 CONC d to run after Nina, she fell and cut her leg real bad bu
1 CONC t the only time she could catch up with Nina was when the l
1 CONC ightening would strike.  Nina was really quick on foot; she
1 CONC 'd just take off in a rush.  Grandma Gardner finally caugh
1 CONC t her. When she came back she was so aggravated that she ha
1 CONC nded her to granddad. Granddad was always concerned with ev
1 CONC eryone.  He settled the affair by teaching us how to eat sp
1 CONC aghetti. Grandma had Spaghetti and Granddad would get one l
1 CONC ong string of spaghetti in his mouth and slurp it up and be
1 CONC fore the evening was over, Nina was content to eat spaghett
1 CONC i and she didn't run off anymore.
1 CONT It seems like all my memories of Granddad and Grandma are w
1 CONC onderful.  I used to take the short cut home from school, s
1 CONC o we could stop by and have a piece of that hot bread, butt
1 CONC er and jam because we knew it would always be waiting for u
1 CONC s.
1 CONT  I think Grandma and Granddad would be very proud if they c
1 CONC ould see us all here today.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Gilbert:
1 CONT I guess we all had a different time when we lived at home
1 CONC . A different generation.  Some of the older kids were gon
1 CONC e by the time the younger kids were born. I remember Joe an
1 CONC d Ralph were away working most of the time. The family wa
1 CONC s put together in those days for a reason. The Mom and Da
1 CONC d put the family together to raise the children; that was t
1 CONC he purpose that they were married. That was there only purp
1 CONC ose in life, to raise the kids and see that they got on a g
1 CONC ood footing, a good education and a good background. Some o
1 CONC f my best memories were when I was at home.  I found that b
1 CONC eing Fay Gardner and Eliza Gardner's son opened an awfull
1 CONC y lot of doors in Navajo County because everyone in the cou
1 CONC nty knew them, all you had to say was that you were Fay Gar
1 CONC dner's son and you were taken in and treated like one of th
1 CONC e family.
1 CONT I worked with Dad; I don't think he worked because he wante
1 CONC d to get the crops in but because he wanted to put us to wo
1 CONC rk and to see that we weren't running the streets. I thin
1 CONC k that was one of the biggest purposes in life. We all hav
1 CONC e happy experiences, humorous experiences; you could go o
1 CONC n for hours telling about them. I remember one time at Scot
1 CONC t Ranch, Dad and I had worked in the field all day long an
1 CONC d we were coming home on an old mule. When we got by the ol
1 CONC d barn, the mule got spooked and started bucking.  I was be
1 CONC tween the saddle and Dad. I remember how well Dad rode, h
1 CONC e didn't fall off the mule, like he was supposed to, he jus
1 CONC t grabbed me, held on and we both rode the mule till the mu
1 CONC le quit bucking. It was nothing to Dad, he got us home an
1 CONC d thought nothing of the incident; but I remember it, ver
1 CONC y well.
1 CONT His thoughts were always of the family. He was a very pleas
1 CONC ant man, a humorous man, and had a great sense of humor
1 CONC . I remember him scaring the Grandkids by dropping his teet
1 CONC h and making them yell. It was always a picnic to be aroun
1 CONC d the family because it was a pleasant thing. It was a plea
1 CONC sant life, a hard life but it was a down to earth, grass ro
1 CONC ots way to live; where day to day, the reason to be in exis
1 CONC tence was to see that the kids and grandchildren had an opp
1 CONC ortunity to do better and to get ahead in the world. I've a
1 CONC lways been very proud of the family and feel very fortunat
1 CONC e to have had the opportunity to live here and be a part o
1 CONC f this great tradition, not only in the church, but the fam
1 CONC ily itself.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Ruth:
1 CONT I'm the youngest girl. I think the thing I remember most ab
1 CONC out Dad was his great pride in his children. I remember com
1 CONC ing home from Florida and he immediately took us down to th
1 CONC e newspaper to meet his good friend, the editor, because w
1 CONC e were his family.  I think probably all through my life i
1 CONC t has been a great pleasure to say, "I am a Gardner" and th
1 CONC ere's been a few times I've wondered why people haven't rea
1 CONC cted a little better because to be a Gardner is really th
1 CONC e greatest. In the area we live in now, there are quite a f
1 CONC ew Gardners, Stake Presidents and things.  I say I'm a Gard
1 CONC ner and this is a thing of pride.  Some of the funny thing
1 CONC s I remember about dad are when we lived on the Scott Ranch
1 CONC .  One day he was chasing Robert around and around the hous
1 CONC e because Robert had broken something and Dad was trying t
1 CONC o catch him. By the time he caught him he was laughing so h
1 CONC ard that they both had to sit down and laugh. Bob was neve
1 CONC r punished because dad was laughing to hard.... Of course h
1 CONC e was the baby to, and this had something to do with it.  A
1 CONC nother thing I remember about the Scott ranch was hauling b
1 CONC uttermilk down to the field. Dad loved fresh buttermilk an
1 CONC d hid it under a tree to keep it cool.  He would drink th
1 CONC e buttermilk and this was just the greatest thing, to hau
1 CONC l buttermilk to him.
1 CONT I think Dad's one statement that has lived with me most o
1 CONC f my life, was, "Remember who you are, don't forget where y
1 CONC ou came from and remember who you are".
1 CONT 
1 CONT Willie:
1 CONT I don't think I respected anyone more, except my own Dad, t
1 CONC han Dad Gardner. Dad Gardner was a wonderful person. One ti
1 CONC me he got very, very upset with me though. We had our secon
1 CONC d boy, who was a twin. He was such a tiny little thing an
1 CONC d was so cute. One night I was dressing him up in doll clot
1 CONC hes and had him all dressed up in girl's clothes and I said
1 CONC , "Oh this is just to cute, we've got to go up and show Gra
1 CONC ndma and Grandpa Gardner." So, we came up and it was snowin
1 CONC g outside, when we came in. Dad Gardner picked that littl
1 CONC e boy up and said, "isn't she precious."  Well somehow I th
1 CONC ought she was a boy. We didn't say anything for awhile an
1 CONC d pretty soon Granddad said, "by George you did have a boy.
1 CONC "  I said, "yes, this is a boy". He said, "get those damn c
1 CONC lothes off that boy. You don't put girls clothes on a boy n
1 CONC ow get them off fast." He was very upset.
1 CONT Gilbert said something about him dropping his teeth. We wer
1 CONC e on our way to Woodruff when my first child was born, we w
1 CONC ere riding along and I looked up into the mirror and I sa
1 CONC w the most hideous looking monster back there, his teeth we
1 CONC re all I could see, it was horrible. I screamed, almost ha
1 CONC d my baby right there. As I said both parents were just ter
1 CONC rific, I couldn't have picked a better family to be marrie
1 CONC d into. I truly respected Mom and Dad Gardner; they were wo
1 CONC nderful, wonderful people.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Paul:
1 CONT We've been telling the good side of Mom and Dad, the pleasa
1 CONC nt side. One day I came down by the house and Dad was out i
1 CONC n the back and Mom's at the front door, she's headed out
1 CONC , I said, "Where you going Mom," she said, "I'm going for t
1 CONC he sheriff". "What in the world you going for the sheriff f
1 CONC or."  Well, Jimmy left his car here, blocked up on blocks a
1 CONC nd he told nobody, I mean nobody, to touch his car, and Fa
1 CONC y is telling that damned Lane Gillespie to take that car ou
1 CONC t of the back yard and I'm going to have them both arrested
1 CONC .  We talked to them awhile and then I went around to the b
1 CONC ack and when I got around to the back they were backing th
1 CONC e car back into the yard and Dad was telling Lane; "we bett
1 CONC er put it back up on the blocks, because that damned old wo
1 CONC men will sure do that. So, we talked to them and got her ca
1 CONC lmed down and settled. By the will of the Lord and my stron
1 CONC g talking, we kept from having Dad arrested for car theft
1 CONC . This is a funny story and to me it's a great story. Thi
1 CONC s is the kind of character Grandma and Granddad had. When t
1 CONC hey were asked to do something, they did it, they didn't de
1 CONC viate from it for their children or for anyone else.
1 CONT Before Dad was married, he had a little black horse that h
1 CONC e could ride anyplace. In Woodruff at the old A.M.C.I. buil
1 CONC ding, the stairway went up the side of a two-story building
1 CONC .  They had the first hardwood dance floor in Navajo County
1 CONC . They were holding a dance and Dad rode his horse up the s
1 CONC tairs, up the outside, rode it around the dance floor and b
1 CONC ack down out into the yard. "There comes Fay Gardner again
1 CONC , he's at it again".
1 CONT Another one of his great pleasures was, when Church was goi
1 CONC ng on, out in front of this same building, they had a big s
1 CONC tep and his great pleasure was to run this horse across th
1 CONC e step. The horse would hit the step one time, jump over i
1 CONC t and then turn around and come back until Bishop Savage wo
1 CONC uld come out and run him off.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Joe:
1 CONT One of Dad's great characteristics was to always think of p
1 CONC eople's pleasure and comfort. If you entered the house yo
1 CONC u wouldn't be there more than 4 or 5 minutes until Dad woul
1 CONC d say, "have you had anything to eat." He'd always do tha
1 CONC t and I think that was probably a western trait, at that ti
1 CONC me people were more conscious of people needing something t
1 CONC o eat than they are now because they Weren't around anyplac
1 CONC e where they could buy something. Someone had to feed them
1 CONC .  All my life, I can remember Dad saying. "Have you had an
1 CONC ything to eat".  Mom could never expect what was going to c
1 CONC ome from Dad.
1 CONT One time he came bringing the Governor, Governor Osborn i
1 CONC n by the hand, in that old building over there where I liv
1 CONC e now, it wasn't fixed up to well but It didn't make any di
1 CONC fference to Dad who he was, if he was a friend.  Mom was al
1 CONC ways able to prepare a meal at any time. That was one of he
1 CONC r great characteristics. You didn't know where the meal wa
1 CONC s coming from but she would always get together a nice mea
1 CONC l in just a few minutes. And that was one of Dad's great pl
1 CONC easures, bringing someone home for something to eat. We har
1 CONC dly have time now to say Howdy, let alone invite someone t
1 CONC o eat with us; Dad always saw to it that you had somethin
1 CONC g to eat.
1 CONT I remember another time, he was a great disciplinarian, W
1 CONC e lived in Woodruff, out on a little ranch just outside o
1 CONC f Woodruff and he sent me to town one evening to get a brid
1 CONC le that someone had borrowed. I was a little late getting b
1 CONC ack; I got to play run sheepie run or something. I didn't g
1 CONC et back and we were around the campfire and pretty soon Da
1 CONC d showed up and he got hold of me, jerked me away from tha
1 CONC t fire and I knew what to do.  I went home down that long l
1 CONC ane, every time I took a step that plumb willow hit me. H
1 CONC e never let up; he whipped me all the way home.  So, anytim
1 CONC e he told me to do something, that experience stayed with m
1 CONC e and I didn't play run sheepie when Dad sent me to get som
1 CONC ething.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Bernie
1 CONT Grandma and Grandpa Gardner were elderly when I met them
1 CONC . I guess about as old as I am now. I was about 22 years ol
1 CONC d and about ready to marry Ruth.  I remember one time, the
1 CONC y came to spend a weekend with us, I was out in the black p
1 CONC lanting a garden and I thought I would get some expert hel
1 CONC p from Dad Gardner since he was an old farm hand.  I aske
1 CONC d him a few questions and he said, "I couldn't hoe a straig
1 CONC ht row if I had to".  I think it was during the same visi
1 CONC t that I had some music on the radio, as I was working ou
1 CONC t there. Some western music came on that I thought he'd app
1 CONC reciate, but it turned out to be some old twangy voiced gu
1 CONC y singing some old church ballad and we had a big laugh.  T
1 CONC hat wasn't his idea of church music at all.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Willie:
1 CONT I think we have about the last pictures that were taken o
1 CONC f Grandma and Grandpa Gardner, together with my mother an
1 CONC d dad. They were all visiting Paul and I in Phoenix. I want
1 CONC ed to take some pictures but Paul said, "Oh Honey, your alw
1 CONC ays wanting to take pictures".  Grandpa Gardner said, "If t
1 CONC his little girl wants to take pictures, we're going to tak
1 CONC e pictures and nobody is going to stop it. Get out here an
1 CONC d stand up here where she wants us. "Where do you want us?
1 CONC ' we got pictures.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Joe:
1 CONT This is just a matter of history. I don't know how many o
1 CONC f you have thought about it or not, but there were seven o
1 CONC f us boys, seven boys and we were only together one time i
1 CONC n our lives. Now that's a little hard to understand that se
1 CONC ven brothers would grow up to be grown men with families an
1 CONC d only be together one time in our lives.  The only time w
1 CONC e got all seven brothers together was when Dad died; No oth
1 CONC er time was we all together. I was older and was gone to wo
1 CONC rk when the young ones came along and that is an unusual th
1 CONC ing that seven brothers would grow up and be together onl
1 CONC y one time in their lives.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Pearl:
1 CONT I remember Daddy was very unhappy about me wanting to marr
1 CONC y my present husband, Mazel.  We've been married happily 2
1 CONC 9 years.  Grandma Gardner was very wise lady.  Daddy was re
1 CONC ally giving me a hard time, he said, "If you marry him, yo
1 CONC u can't ever come home." So I went to Grandma Gardner for h
1 CONC elp. I said, "Grandma will you help me out?" Grandma wrot
1 CONC e Daddy a letter and she said, "listen Son, I want to tel
1 CONC l you something. When you and Helene decided to get Marrie
1 CONC d you didn't tell me about it, you went up and you got Flos
1 CONC sy Johnson to go with you to Holbrook, to the justice of th
1 CONC e peace, you got marred and no one knew anything about it
1 CONC . Now if your daughter wants to marry this man you should O
1 CONC .K. it, you should agree with it".  And from that time on D
1 CONC addy was on our side, but Grandma had to really lecture him.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Ida:
1 CONT Anytime we were doing something that Grandma didn't quite g
1 CONC o along with, she'd say, "listen Ida, I'm going to tell yo
1 CONC u what I think and then you can do as you please."
1 CONT 
1 CONT Ruth:
1 CONT Libby, Robert's daughter, is here and she wanted me to tel
1 CONC l the story that I told the other night, about when Grandp
1 CONC a Gardner was trying to drive a car. He got so mad at his c
1 CONC ar when it wouldn't stop when he was saying whoa.  So, he g
1 CONC ot mad, kicked it, and broke his toe.  Libby thought that w
1 CONC as a funny story. There's another story too, he got mad a
1 CONC t the cow and also kicked it and broke a toe. I think he pr
1 CONC obably had a pretty good temper. By the time I came along h
1 CONC e had mellowed, so we don't really have the stories that so
1 CONC me of the older children have about him.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Gilbert:
1 CONT When Dad and I stayed over in Linden for a summer and a hal
1 CONC f, we lived next door to the Thomas's.  I'll always remembe
1 CONC r how good those people were over there; everyone was scrat
1 CONC ching around trying to get a crop to grow.  I remember Larr
1 CONC ie Thomas's Dad and his Granddad, they had a pretty good li
1 CONC ttle ranch and we'd go up there and they were always willin
1 CONC g to lend us their equipment and come down and work with us
1 CONC .  I think the Gardners have done well in getting good in-l
1 CONC aws and I've always been pretty sure we've been a pretty go
1 CONC od judge of character.  I remember Grandma Gardner tellin
1 CONC g me;  "If you ever get a chance to help the Thomas's; If y
1 CONC ou ever get a chance to help those who have been good to us
1 CONC ; you better do it or your going to by on my list. So, ther
1 CONC e have been a lot of good people that came into the family
1 CONC .  They have supported us and I think the In-laws and the p
1 CONC eople that have married members of the family have been a d
1 CONC istinct advantage and credit to us.
1 CONT I remember Ida and Emma, they didn't stay home very much bu
1 CONC t I remember this one morning at breakfast, a great commoti
1 CONC on erupted, everyone was getting ready for school and Ida a
1 CONC nd Emma got into a big fight. They were just tearing each o
1 CONC ther up. Grandma Gardner was all upset and she was trying t
1 CONC o separate them.  Dad got to laughing about it and got betw
1 CONC een them and they were about to kill him trying to get at e
1 CONC ach other. He was laughing his head off. He was able someti
1 CONC mes, under real stress, to look with humor and soon, the or
1 CONC deal was over and he was able to settle the thing with a la
1 CONC ugh.  It might have been the most serious thing in the worl
1 CONC d to Emma and Ida but he settled it by laughing at them an
1 CONC d they went off to school, in just a few minutes, laughin
1 CONC g at themselves. They went off with no more hard feelings.
1 CONT When Bob was a young high school boy, maybe 13 or 14, he wa
1 CONC s reading a book that Dad didn't think he should read. So
1 CONC , Dad threw it in the fireplace and burned it. So Bob lef
1 CONC t home and said no one was going to tell him what he coul
1 CONC d read and what he couldn't read.  Dad and Mother let him s
1 CONC tay for a night, then Dad got on his horse and went lookin
1 CONC g for him, to bring him back.  As Gilbert said, he could al
1 CONC ways laugh at the right time. He said, "I chased the Damn k
1 CONC id all through the pines and I can't catch him. He said, "h
1 CONC e'll come home when he gets hungry enough." I'm not sure th
1 CONC at Bob is still so strong in his feelings about censorshi
1 CONC p but he certainly knew his rights at that time.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Helen:
1 CONT Grandpa really loved nature, I remember one night he was ch
1 CONC opping wood, the sun was just going down and it was a beaut
1 CONC iful sunset; he put his axe down, looked up and said, "Hurr
1 CONC ah for God."
1 CONT 
1 CONT Paul:
1 CONT Dad, Ralph two Farnsworths and myself were building a littl
1 CONC e sawmill on a hill right above Heber.  These two Farnswort
1 CONC hs, Dad and I were in camp, around the campfire, watching o
1 CONC ne of these beautiful sunsets. Dad was sitting there lookin
1 CONC g at it, just as the sun was going down and he said, "Did y
1 CONC ou ever see anything as beautiful in all your life". One o
1 CONC f the Farnsworths said, "Oh Hell, I can't see anything pret
1 CONC ty about it".  I don't think I've ever seen Dad get any mad
1 CONC der any quicker. He never said a word, just got up and walk
1 CONC ed off.

1 CONC THE LIFE HISTORY OF ELIZA LEWIS GARDNER 
1 CONT Recorded by George Gardner, May 1966 in Lakeside, Arizona
1 CONT 
1 CONT 
1 CONT I was born in Taylor, Arizona 5 August 1882. My father wa
1 CONC s Joseph Albert Lewis; my mother was Martha Emma Pell. Alth
1 CONC ough my grandmother was a mid-wife it was Margaret Hancoc
1 CONC k who delivered me into the world.
1 CONT I was the next oldest child, my brother Joseph being the ol
1 CONC dest. My mother had seven children all together and raise
1 CONC d six of them. I was about seven or eight years old when w
1 CONC e moved to Nutrioso, New Mexico. We lived there for two yea
1 CONC rs then moved back to Taylor. My mother and father had live
1 CONC d in Taylor before moving to Nutrioso; it was here in Nutri
1 CONC oso that my sister Ida died. Right after this we moved bac
1 CONC k to Taylor where I lived until I was married. I was marrie
1 CONC d in Taylor.
1 CONT Some of my school teachers that I remember in Taylor were
1 CONC , Joseph W. Smith, Allen Frost, Cliff frost's grandfather a
1 CONC nd Louis Cardon.  We didn't have grades like we do now, w
1 CONC e had books. We went from the first to second book and on l
1 CONC ike that. I did finish school after a fashion. My mother wa
1 CONC s sick a lot of the time and some of the neighbors would ge
1 CONC t sick so they would have me stay out of school to help the
1 CONC m. I never went to school a full week in my life. We didn'
1 CONC t do like you do today, nothing interferes with school toda
1 CONC y but then my mother never did a washing by herself, she wa
1 CONC sn't a very well woman, and then they didn't think about i
1 CONC t like they do today. So I guess I done pretty well so'
1 CONC s I could get where I could read and write.
1 CONT Our school was an old log school building. We had two rooms
1 CONC ; we used this building for a Church as well as a school. T
1 CONC hey also had a theater with a stage where they had the prim
1 CONC ary school, then down below was where we had the other. W
1 CONC e had two teachers; Joseph W. Smith, the head teacher, an
1 CONC d Brother Frost. I can't remember who my first teacher was
1 CONC . I didn't have any high school I just went up through th
1 CONC e eighth grade or the eighth book.
1 CONT One of the things that we did have similar to the seminar
1 CONC y today was what we called religion class. We had it earl
1 CONC y in the morning at 8: 0'clock. The only school I ever wen
1 CONC t to was in this old log school house, right where the Tayl
1 CONC or church is now.
1 CONT Manual Cardon baptized me when I was eight years old; he wa
1 CONC s the Bishop then. I was baptized in the river just below t
1 CONC he Taylor Bridge, there were four of us that day.
1 CONT I didn't have too many childhood experiences except just t
1 CONC o go to the neighbors and help them. I went to all my Sunda
1 CONC y Schools and Primaries however.
1 CONT My mother came from England when she was eight years old. T
1 CONC he trains crossed the desert in about 1861, I believe, an
1 CONC d she came from England in 1861 on the train to Salt Lake
1 CONC . My Grandmother and my mother came from England leaving Au
1 CONC nt Jane, Uncle William and Uncle George in England. My gran
1 CONC dmother joined the church in England but her husband didn'
1 CONC t join and he was so opposed to her joining that she divorc
1 CONC ed him and just she and my mother came to the United States.
1 CONT In those days they had what they called the immigration fun
1 CONC d. The church would pay their way to Salt Lake and then whe
1 CONC n they got here they could pay it back into the fund so the
1 CONC y could help others come over. This is my Grandmother Campb
1 CONC ell I'm speaking about. She was a Ruff, and then she marrie
1 CONC d Campbell after she came to America. She had been marrie
1 CONC d twice before she left England, one man had died and the o
1 CONC ther she divorced. After she got to America she saved enoug
1 CONC h money to bring my mothers two brothers and sister here. G
1 CONC randmother worked real hard, she worked at just about every
1 CONC thing. They all did in them days. She was sealed to John Ca
1 CONC mpbell because these other men didn't join the church.
1 CONT When they were building the Temple in St. George, this Camp
1 CONC bell that Grandmother married went down there to work and M
1 CONC other and Grandmother went down there also. They spent a lo
1 CONC ng time in St. George; they lived there quite awhile. My mo
1 CONC ther used to go out among the sick. She used to tell me a l
1 CONC ot how she used to take care of Wilford Woodruff, when he w
1 CONC as in St. George and got sick. She went through the Templ
1 CONC e thirty times before she was married.
1 CONT It was here in St. George that Mother met my father, Josep
1 CONC h Albert Lewis. He worked on the Temple there for seven yea
1 CONC rs. They gave him a course in plastering and he became a re
1 CONC al fine plasterer. They made their own plaster in those day
1 CONC s; they didn't have the ready-made kind like they do today.
1 CONT My mother and father were married here in St. George, and t
1 CONC hen they moved to Kanab, you see he was from Kanab. Then th
1 CONC ey were called to settle in Arizona to help build it up. Th
1 CONC ey had a real hard time, my mother never did get where sh
1 CONC e could eat corn meal bread with any relish because they ju
1 CONC st lived on corn meal bread. It was this Indian corn. The
1 CONC y would grind it in the coffee mill. They didn't even hav
1 CONC e any flour to put in it. They had a real hard time gettin
1 CONC g started.
1 CONT They sent my father here to Arizona from Utah because he wa
1 CONC s a plasterer, and this was a new country just getting star
1 CONC ted, they knew he could be a big help. But the people had n
1 CONC othing to pay for plastering. My father used to plaster whe
1 CONC n I was a kid. We lived on a big dry lot, no water, so we c
1 CONC ouldn't raise a garden or anything. He would plaster for pe
1 CONC ople and take vegetables or anything we could eat. That wa
1 CONC s the way they had to live. My mother never had the water i
1 CONC n her house, never had a nice house, just an old log house
1 CONC . This house burned down a couple of months ago, down in Ta
1 CONC ylor. No one ever knew how it caught on fire. My brother Jo
1 CONC e looked out the window and it was on fire.
1 CONT My mother was a real pleasant woman, she wasn't a complaine
1 CONC r. Everything was just fine. My father, well when you see J
1 CONC oseph (my son) you see my father, only my father was six fe
1 CONC et tall in his stocking feet. He had lots of hair also, rea
1 CONC l pretty hair. Joseph's eyes and the way he walks and the w
1 CONC ay he looks at you is exactly like my father. His mannerism
1 CONC s are a lot like him too. My brother Will was a lot like m
1 CONC y father also. They didn't have a very large family; they o
1 CONC nly had seven children.
1 CONT My Grandmother never did come to Arizona. She married my gr
1 CONC andfather Campbell, but, I do remember seeing my Grandmothe
1 CONC r Lewis. She was a little woman. I remember seeing her sitt
1 CONC ing in a rocking chair drinking her tea, and I remember thi
1 CONC nking "She'll spill that, she'll spill that for sure". She'
1 CONC d sit in that rocking chair after she finished her dinner a
1 CONC nd she'd rock and drink. It wasn't against the Church rule
1 CONC s to drink tea then, everyone drank it.
1 CONT I met my husband down in front of McCleves house, down th
1 CONC e hill from where we lived in Taylor. A bunch of us kids we
1 CONC re having a party, and a couple of three boys, from Snowfla
1 CONC ke came up. I just knew him as Fay Gardner, I didn't know a
1 CONC nything about him, and he didn't mean anything to me.  The
1 CONC n I went to Woodruff, because Dad's sister needed a girl t
1 CONC o help out. If someone needed you, you didn't go to schoo
1 CONC l you went to help. His sister was ailing and she neede
1 CONC d a girl to help. The woman was going to have a baby; she w
1 CONC as having a lot of trouble, so she needed a girl to help ou
1 CONC t. I stayed out of school two weeks to help her. She was Fa
1 CONC y's sister, so I go acquainted with him then. We didn't si
1 CONC t up nights or anything though, he had to work and so did I
1 CONC . Then I went home and thought no more about it. He wrote m
1 CONC e a time or two and I wrote back. He came up to see me twic
1 CONC e before we were married. In them days they didn't have any
1 CONC thing but a team of horses. He was working in Winslow, bu
1 CONC t that didn't make any difference. I believe I would have m
1 CONC arried him the next day after I saw him, if he asked me. Ne
1 CONC ver was any worry about that.
1 CONT Willard Hatch married us in Taylor; he was one of the Bisho
1 CONC p's councilors then. We were married on Wed. 5th, Decembe
1 CONC r 1900, and the next week we were sealed. Joseph F. Smith c
1 CONC ame from Salt Lake with authority to seal because there was
1 CONC n't a temple close. I believe there were fifteen couples se
1 CONC aled the same day that we were. We were married in 1900 an
1 CONC d we didn't go to the Temple to get our endowments until 19
1 CONC 14. We went to the Salt Lake Temple on the train to get ou
1 CONC r endowments. It took us about a week to come and go.
1 CONT When we were first married we went to this mothers home i
1 CONC n Woodruff to live. We left Winslow, he had a job in Winslo
1 CONC w and he left this to go to Woodruff because he had a littl
1 CONC e farm there, a yard and a lot. His mother was alone and ne
1 CONC eded someone to take care of her. I took care of her from a
1 CONC bout two months after we were married for seven years. Sh
1 CONC e lived with us all this time then she went to live with he
1 CONC r son in Utah. She was there a couple of years and then cam
1 CONC e back and stayed the rest of her life. About three or fou
1 CONC r years with us. She died while staying with us in Woodruff
1 CONC . We lived most of our life in Woodruff. We moved to Lakesi
1 CONC de when Gilbert was a baby, in 1908, and have been here eve
1 CONC r since. Oh, we went to Winslow and Dad worked on the railr
1 CONC oad, but to make a home, it was in Lakeside. We also live
1 CONC d in Taylor for about a year.
1 CONT Granddad died in Holbrook while he was working on a highwa
1 CONC y job. He wasn't on the highway but was under the directio
1 CONC n of the highway; He kept the shops. He died the 13th April
1 CONC , 1947.
1 CONT We had twelve children: Joseph, Ralph, Emma, Bessie, Leroy
1 CONC , Ida, Paul, James, Helen, Gilbert, Ruth, and Robert. Not m
1 CONC uch to tell about the kids, they were just kids.

1 CONT Grandmother is now living in Lakeside, Arizona. She is eigh
1 CONC ty-four years old at the time of this writing. She does he
1 CONC r own cooking and cleaning and every Christmas she gives al
1 CONC l her children and grandchildren gifts that she had made he
1 CONC rself. She is very interested in the affairs of the world
1 CONC . She takes the daily newspaper and keeps her self well inf
1 CONC ormed. One thing I can remember her saying very well is; th
1 CONC ere are two bills that come each month that are a joy to pa
1 CONC y and that's the light bill and my water bill. She says, "I
1 CONC f we would have had to carry as many buckets of water as sh
1 CONC e did and had to sit under lamp light, we would all be mor
1 CONC e grateful for these luxuries.

1 CONC  DIARY OF GEORGE BRYANT GARDNER 
1 CONT Born April 4, 1813, New Ipswick New Hampshire
1 CONT Son of Abel and Sussanna Bryant Gardner
1 CONT Buried in Woodruff, AZ
1 CONT ...First page is missing...
1 CONT Married a man by the name of Mosiah Pratt, where he died o
1 CONC n April 29th, 1840. I had him brought to New Hampshire an
1 CONC d buried him by the side of my mother in the old burying gr
1 CONC ound on what is called Germany Hill, a rough rocky place an
1 CONC d on the West Side of the lot near a stone wall.
1 CONT May 1841, my wife and I moved to Peterburrough, New Hampshi
1 CONC re. Bought a house and some land of Mr. Peneman, a Methodis
1 CONC t deacon, built me a good blacksmith shop and started busin
1 CONC ess again. Attended meeting very regularly and was choriste
1 CONC r, class leader and Sabbath School teacher for about six mo
1 CONC nths at that place at the Methodist meeting house and in go
1 CONC od standing with their society. One Sabbath, about the firs
1 CONC t of July 1841, while sitting and listening to our Methodis
1 CONC t Priest, it being warm weather. All the windows were ope
1 CONC n and my ears caught the sound of some man a preaching, i
1 CONC n the town house, just across a narrow lane which, sounde
1 CONC d like music in my ears. On inquiry after meeting I learne
1 CONC d it was a man by the name of Eli P. Magim a Mormon elder f
1 CONC orm Nauvoo, Illinois. I was determined to know more about h
1 CONC im and accordingly the next time he preached I made arrange
1 CONC ments with my Methodist brethren in regards to their singin
1 CONC g and went to hear him preach and was satisfied that he wa
1 CONC s called of God and I should not resist.
1 CONT He did not preach often but when he did I made it in my wa
1 CONC y to hear him. I concluded to be baptized accordingly, th
1 CONC e day was set when he should visit me and attend to the ord
1 CONC inance. I was working in my shop when I saw him coming, I t
1 CONC ook off my blacksmith apron and laid my hammer on my anvi
1 CONC l and went with him to the water. I left my wife a crying
1 CONC . Old Father Teneman a threatening to dispose me, he havin
1 CONC g a mortgage on my property. And some neighbors a prophesyi
1 CONC ng that I should lose all my customers. But I burst those b
1 CONC ands and was baptized by Elder Eli P. Magim on Monday, Nove
1 CONC mber 20th, 1841 in the Cantocook River. While this was goin
1 CONC g on the Methodist sisters gathered around my wife a tellin
1 CONC g her that she had got to give up her husband for he had jo
1 CONC ined a poor and deluded people and would go off and leave h
1 CONC er. I was about the first one that was baptized in that pla
1 CONC ce and after this the Church began to increase very fast an
1 CONC d in January 1942 my wife was baptized.
1 CONT After I joined the Mormons, the Methodists held council ove
1 CONC r my case and concluded to disfellowship me, saying; "I nev
1 CONC er was any benefit to them". Which made me think of the ol
1 CONC d Negro that caught a live rabbit, got him under his arm an
1 CONC d praised him saying, "what a fine fat fellow he was to fry
1 CONC . Good to roast, good to bake, good to boil, good almost an
1 CONC yway". When suddenly the rabbit gave a spring and got away
1 CONC . When he cried out, go along with you, you long legged, gu
1 CONC mboil shanked, long eared, big eyed, cotton-tailed son o
1 CONC f a bitch, it would take more butter to cook you than you a
1 CONC re worth.
1 CONT I was ordained an Elder under the hands of John I. Page, th
1 CONC en one of the twelve Apostles, in February 1843. I soon go
1 CONC t the spirit of gathering and directed my course accordingl
1 CONC y by selling my property and all that I had. Canceling al
1 CONC l my debts, so I was beholding to no man. I preached some i
1 CONC n the neighboring town with tolerable success and baptize
1 CONC d a few. The Church in this place had now been organized in
1 CONC to a branch and many of the elders from Nauvoo visited us
1 CONC . Erastus Snow, Orson Hyde, Orson Pratt, Parley P. Pratt, W
1 CONC ilford Woodruff, Brigham Young and Hyrum Smith and many oth
1 CONC ers which gave us good instruction and cheered us up. I sta
1 CONC rted to gather with the saints at Nauvoo, September 2, 184
1 CONC 5 in the company with my wife, Mary V. Morse, Rebecca Chapi
1 CONC n and Sister Pierce. Hired out passage to Corcester, Mass
1 CONC . and there took the railroad to Albany, New York.  Then to
1 CONC ok the canal for Buffalo, where we stopped a few days an
1 CONC d I went to see my brother Abel. It being the second tim
1 CONC e I ever saw him. He was a large fleshy man weighing some o
1 CONC ver two hundred pounds, about fifty pounds more than myself.
1 CONT We went aboard a steamboat and started across the Lakes t
1 CONC o Chicago, the distance of about eleven hundred miles. Acro
1 CONC ss Lake Erie, Lake St. Clair, Lake Huron and through the St
1 CONC raits of Machinaw, into Lake Michigan. We had some severe g
1 CONC ales of wind and storms on the lakes, but arrived safe in C
1 CONC hicago where we took private conveyance across the state o
1 CONC f Illinois to Fulton City, 150 miles above Nauvoo, on the M
1 CONC issouri River.
1 CONT Took passage on a steam boat called the "War Eagle", procee
1 CONC ded down the river some fifty miles, the boat ran on a rock
1 CONC , and stuck fast. The current of the river carried the ster
1 CONC n down stream and bore a hole through her keel and stuck fa
1 CONC st on a rock. But, to our great joy, Capt. William H. Hoope
1 CONC r came floating down the river on the steam boat called "Ti
1 CONC me", and took us to Nauvoo where we landed October 5th 184
1 CONC 5 about 9 0'clock P.M., at the stone house kept by Brothe
1 CONC r Ludington.
1 CONT The first we heard spoken by the citizens was the Saints ha
1 CONC d made a treaty to leave their dear hard-earned homes the n
1 CONC ext spring. The Saints at that time were very poor withou
1 CONC t teams, wagon, clothing or provisions.
1 CONT After retiring to bed and having a good night's rest, we ar
1 CONC ose in the morning of the 6th of October, the first day o
1 CONC f conference. We beheld the beautiful Temple of the Lord i
1 CONC n all its glory. The ark of day lent its rays of light to a
1 CONC lume the bronze work of this beautiful building. My first b
1 CONC usiness was to settle and pay my tithing for which I held t
1 CONC he receipt in full, as the following receipt will show.
1 CONT "This may certify the George B. Gardner is entitled to th
1 CONC e privilege of the baptismal font having paid his tithing i
1 CONC n full to Oct. 12, 1845. City of Joseph. Nov. 10th 1845. Wi
1 CONC lliam Clayton, recorder."
1 CONT After paying up I had sixteen dollars left and some clothin
1 CONC g. The saints soon organized into companies of 100, 50, an
1 CONC d 10's. I was in Brother Erastus Snow's company to emigrat
1 CONC e to we knew not where. I was superintendent of the wagon d
1 CONC epartment and clerk of the company. We started men across t
1 CONC he river to cut wagon timber and start a wagon shop and t
1 CONC o season the timber the best we could. Consequently many o
1 CONC f our wagons had to be repaired before we reached our desti
1 CONC nation. After fitting up Brother Snow's and many others an
1 CONC d they were ready to cross the river, we broke up our sho
1 CONC p and I received for my winters work the timber in its roug
1 CONC h state and lumber for a wagon.  Money gone for my living t
1 CONC he while.
1 CONT A brother by the name of Harmer, a wagon maker, was in th
1 CONC e same fix as myself. After working hard all winter and no
1 CONC t getting much for it, joined me in company and we cooperat
1 CONC ed together. He made two wagon woods and I put the iron o
1 CONC n them, which we bought by selling a stove and some other t
1 CONC hings that we had left. Got them fitted up ready for a star
1 CONC t, the Lord blessing us all the time, when one day while go
1 CONC ne to dinner we both sold our wagons for $65.00 in gold cas
1 CONC h. He then went to work and made the wood for two more an
1 CONC d I bought the iron and put it on while he was making the w
1 CONC agons. I worked for John Taylor half the night and half th
1 CONC e day ironing wagons for him for which I received one dolla
1 CONC r a day in silver. Now we both had money we went to the cou
1 CONC ntry and bought oxen and we soon had a fit out. While in Na
1 CONC uvoo myself and wife received our endowments in the Templ
1 CONC e of our Lord, and I was ordained a seventy in the Temple t
1 CONC he day I got my endowments Feb. 1846.
1 CONT June 16th, 1846, we crossed the river in company with Broth
1 CONC er Leonard Hill and family, Brother John Ney and family. Ca
1 CONC me to the town of Farmington on the Desmoine river, and the
1 CONC re we, Hill, Ney and myself took jobs of work to swell ou
1 CONC r fit out. My not being used to that climate and sultry sun
1 CONC . I took the ague, which prostrated me completely for fourt
1 CONC een months. Brother Hill and myself started from the Desmoi
1 CONC ne River in August and went as far as the Fox River, wher
1 CONC e we camped under a large oak. The whole of us was sick an
1 CONC d unable to help ourselves. One Mr. Miller, a Universalion
1 CONC , (a type of religion) by profession, saw our condition an
1 CONC d invited us to his place helping us to find our cattle. H
1 CONC e drove us to his place where he gave us the use of his smo
1 CONC kehouse to stop in. By making a bunk across the end of th
1 CONC e room where we put down our beds and all crawled into it
1 CONC , men, women, and children. There brother Hill died and on
1 CONC e child, I was so sick that I could not get out of bed bu
1 CONC t lay there with the dead men.
1 CONT After getting to Winter Quarters, Sister Hill died and thei
1 CONC r son aged 16 with the ague. I wish to remember and have m
1 CONC y children remember the kindness of Mr. Miller. While at hi
1 CONC s place he done everything he could for our comfort withou
1 CONC t charging, urging us to stop with him all winter, but th
1 CONC e spirit of God said to me no, we must go on. One day whe
1 CONC n he was away from home we packed up as well as we could an
1 CONC d started out and was picked up on the road by Brother Q. M
1 CONC . Allen who was sent back from Winter Quarters to hunt up t
1 CONC he needy. We arrived in Winter Quarters, now Florence, th
1 CONC e last of November, sick and weary, destitute of shelter ex
1 CONC cept our wagons and some sod houses that the saints who pre
1 CONC ceded us had constructed.
1 CONT For four months I could not turn over in bed. My shoulder
1 CONC s and hips on both sides were worn through the skin. Bein
1 CONC g destitute of the necessaries of life it took me a long ti
1 CONC me to recover, but by the blessing of God and the prayers o
1 CONC f the saints I commenced to recover. It was a long time bef
1 CONC ore I recovered sufficient to walk around any. Everythin
1 CONC g I could spare was sold for something to eat except my oxe
1 CONC n and wagon. My wife was almost as sick as I was. We had n
1 CONC o children at that time. We lived part of the winter in a s
1 CONC od house, very cold and miserable. While there, Brigham You
1 CONC ng and Orson Pratt came and administered to me, they sai
1 CONC d I should get well and I believed it. One day William Ric
1 CONC e looked in upon us and saw our condition, took pity on u
1 CONC s and invited us to his log house fitted up quite comfortab
1 CONC le. We accepted the invitation; I had to be carried on a sh
1 CONC eet. While getting me through the door I really thought m
1 CONC y back was broken, that night we left, the old sod house fe
1 CONC ll in. we were out in time to save being killed which woul
1 CONC d not have taken much.
1 CONT In the latter part of the summer of 1847, I commenced to ge
1 CONC t around but unable to perform any labor. It was suggeste
1 CONC d to me to go down to Missouri to haul wheat on shares. I w
1 CONC ent to Brother Samuel Mulliner, told him my plans and aske
1 CONC d him to lend me two dollars to buy provisions for the trip
1 CONC , which he did. My wife Elizabeth cooked me some food an
1 CONC d I started out. Hired another yoke of oxen and promised wh
1 CONC eat for pay, crossed the Missouri River into Pottawatamie t
1 CONC erritory among that tribe of Indian. When the chief saw m
1 CONC y green covered wagon he wanted to swap an old one, and gav
1 CONC e forty dollars cash to boot. I went on, bought forty bushe
1 CONC ls for twenty dollars and had money to buy some comforts wi
1 CONC th. When I had got my wheat loaded and ready to start I wa
1 CONC s so weak I was not able to drive my team. Just at that tim
1 CONC e, Brother Henry L. Cook, the man that drove my team, at th
1 CONC e time we were picked up on the road from Nauvoo, came to m
1 CONC e and said he had a son 18 years old that wanted to go to W
1 CONC inter Quarters. He would drive my team if I would feed hi
1 CONC m on the road, which I gladly accepted. Arrived safe at hom
1 CONC e, paid Brother Mulliner his two dollars and for the use o
1 CONC f the oxen and had money left. I acknowledge the hand of th
1 CONC e Lord in all this.
1 CONT I now began to recover very fast, commenced work one hour p
1 CONC er day and so on until I could do a days work in a blacksmi
1 CONC th shop for Brother William A. Beebe who then was a carryin
1 CONC g on a shop in that place.
1 CONT While in this place I was called with a number more to go o
1 CONC n a mission to the states, but it was reconsidered becaus
1 CONC e my services was needed to fit out wagons, and horse shoes
1 CONC , etc., for the emigration to Salt Lake City. There I was s
1 CONC erviceable again in assisting the Brethren on their journe
1 CONC y to the far off west.
1 CONT On the 12th of May 1848 I took to wife Betsy Ann Bird, daug
1 CONC hter of Charles and Mary Ann Bird, who was born in Tompkin
1 CONC s County, New York, Oct. 30, 1829. She had been married t
1 CONC o a man by the name of Norman Bliss. She had one child by h
1 CONC im, by the name of Mary Ann. To me was born, by her, Emil
1 CONC y Amanda. Born in Pottawatamie County, Iowa, July 19, 1849
1 CONC , also while living with me Mary Sedella was born in Salt L
1 CONC ake City, 12th ward, March 1851. George Abel was born in Sa
1 CONC lt Lake City January 3, 1853. She left me on the 26th of Se
1 CONC ptember 1853 and married a man by the name of Kimball Hardy
1 CONC , and went to California.
1 CONT      After finishing my work and assisting to get the saint
1 CONC s of the spring of '48, I moved with my family across the M
1 CONC issouri to what was called the Bluffs in Pottawatamie Count
1 CONC y, took up some land and built two log cabins and blacksmit
1 CONC h shop, corral, pens, etc.  Fenced eight acres of good lan
1 CONC d and commenced to make me a home.  The winter of '48 I wen
1 CONC t to Missouri to work bought me a yoke of two-year-old stee
1 CONC rs and some clothing, etc.  I was prospered in everythin
1 CONC g I undertook. I got me an out-fit and then in the spring o
1 CONC f 1850 I sold my possessions, and even the land that was al
1 CONC l planted up, for twelve dollars.  Started with my family
1 CONC , consisting of four now, to go to Salt Lake City.  Durin
1 CONC g this time there was many interesting incidents transpire
1 CONC d that I shall not attempt to relate.  Recrossed the rive
1 CONC r on June 16 arrived in Salt Lake City Oct. 14th, 1850.
1 CONT While crossing the plains many incidents occurred, we trave
1 CONC led in Brother Wilford Woodruff's company hundred, Edson Wh
1 CONC ipple's fifty.  I was the captain of the first ten in Whipp
1 CONC le's fifty.  We traveled the road on the south side of th
1 CONC e Platte River.  After being out a few days the cholera mad
1 CONC e its appearance in our train.  There had been a train prec
1 CONC eded us of gold hunters bound for California, robbed by th
1 CONC e wolves and skeletons of the poor victims scattered on th
1 CONC e ground.  We lost by the cholera in our train 16 grown per
1 CONC sons and one child before we got to the old Fort Kearney
1 CONC .  Had two severe stampedes, but not much damage.  The da
1 CONC y we passed the fort one man was killed by lightning and on
1 CONC e child died.  That night while we were mourning and weepin
1 CONC g; there was a family a little distance from our camp by th
1 CONC e name of Graham, who were gambling, swearing, and drinking
1 CONC . Those that then belonged to the church and traveling wit
1 CONC h us, was turned out of the company the next morning. Whil
1 CONC e in the vicinity of Ogden, three of them had been killed f
1 CONC or cattle stealing.  It seemed that all the power of hell c
1 CONC ombined to stop our progress, cholera, stampedes, thunder a
1 CONC nd lightning, storms and rain, and tempest of wind and fals
1 CONC e brethren, etc.
1 CONT      When lightning killed the man it came to my mind tha
1 CONC t it was the last of our troubles on our journey, while I p
1 CONC rophesied to my friends.  We had no more incidents worth na
1 CONC ming except the herds of buffalo. One day we were surrounde
1 CONC d by about five hundred Indians, all mounted with good arms
1 CONC . It looked rather scary for a time but trusting the Lord a
1 CONC nd with stout hearts the Piute captain reached out his han
1 CONC d for a shake and peace and friendship soon gladdened our h
1 CONC earts.
1 CONT 
1 CONT      I started from the Bluffs with a good fit out, but, be
1 CONC ing delayed in the mountains by snow, many got short. I div
1 CONC ided with them, so, when I got to Salt Lake, I had not a mo
1 CONC uthful to eat. But, by the kindness of Jonathan Pugmire, Jr
1 CONC . who knew what hunger was; he being in the Mormon Battalio
1 CONC n, took us in and gave us something to eat, for which we fe
1 CONC lt very thankful.  Arrived Oct. 14, 1850.
1 CONT After resting for a few days I went to Mill Creek Canyon t
1 CONC o fit up and run a shingle machine for the winter of 1850 a
1 CONC nd 1851, for which I made good pay, sawed the first shingle
1 CONC s used in the city.  I stayed on Mill creek lumbering for a
1 CONC bout three years, and then I was called by President Brigha
1 CONC m Young to come to Salt Lake City to work in the public bla
1 CONC cksmith shop.  I drew my living for about seven years fro
1 CONC m the tithing office.  While working for the church Oct. 16
1 CONC th, 1852, I took to wife Harriet Mariah Beebe, daughter o
1 CONC f William A. Beebe and Louise Newton, her mother's maiden n
1 CONC ame.  She was born Feb. 21, 1836, Yates Co., New York.  Rec
1 CONC eived her endowments in the endowment house in Salt Lake Ci
1 CONC ty about the 22nd of Sept. l855.
1 CONT      I was a Seventy in the 12th Quorum of Seventies, and w
1 CONC orked for about seven years as a policeman in Salt Lake Cit
1 CONC y.  I worked in the public blacksmith shop about two years
1 CONC , when I was released.  I then went to work for myself
1 CONC .  I worked for California emigrants, made sometimes fift
1 CONC y dollars per week in gold clear of expenses, built me a co
1 CONC mfortable house and barn, fenced my lot, etc.  And was call

1 CONT      In the fall of 1885 I was wanted to go to Big Cottonwo
1 CONC od to take charge of a sawmill with two saws, upright and c
1 CONC ircular for President Brigham Young and Co.  I worked ther
1 CONC e four seasons about eight months in each year.  So much sn
1 CONC ow in the winter we left the mill in December for Salt Lak
1 CONC e on Friday.  The next Sunday a snow slide came down the mo
1 CONC untain with a tremendous crash and carried away our very st
1 CONC rong double log house and all our property we had left fo
1 CONC r the next spring, and broke in the end of the mill.  Agai
1 CONC n I can see the hand of the Lord in my deliverance twice ha
1 CONC ving been saved from the falling of my habitation.
1 CONT      On June 4th, 1847, I took to wife Elizabeth Lucina Mec
1 CONC ham, born Feb. 27, 184-? Received her endowments the same d
1 CONC ay in the endowment house, Salt Lake City.  She had been pr
1 CONC eviously married to Lyman Stevens.  By him she had one son
1 CONC .  While she lived with me she had three children.
1 CONT      In the spring of l858, in consequence of persecution f
1 CONC rom the government of the United States the Church was coun
1 CONC seled to leave the hard earned homes in Salt Lake City an
1 CONC d go south one and all, consequently I prepared to make a s
1 CONC tart.  I had one small yoke of oxen and one old wagon to mo
1 CONC ve my now large family, but with a determination to do a
1 CONC s I was told, I made the trip to Spanish Fork in Utah Count
1 CONC y by going several times.  Put in a crop, then peace was ma
1 CONC de and I was called to go back in the canyon to saw lumbe
1 CONC r again.  In December 1859, I was discharged from the canyo
1 CONC n and went to work for myself. I again, fitted up a blacksm
1 CONC ith shop for Hugh Moon, in the First Ward in Salt Lake City
1 CONC . I worked about one year in the shop, then in March 186
1 CONC 0 I was called to go to Farmington, Davis Co. to build a bl
1 CONC acksmith shop for the estate of Dr. Willard Richards.  Work
1 CONC ed in Emigration till I was called at the semi-annual confe
1 CONC rence Oct. 6, 1862 to go on a mission to the Cotton Countr
1 CONC y in Dixie, Kane County southern Utah.
1 CONT      When I was called to go to Dixie I was carrying on a b
1 CONC ig business blacksmithing in company with a brother by th
1 CONC e name of Hamachus Rodgers.  I was without a team or wagon
1 CONC , debts and dues all over Davis County.  I went to work wit
1 CONC h all my might and in a few weeks I was on the road with m
1 CONC y family, except my first wife, who stayed behind till th
1 CONC e next August.  I landed in Virgin City, Kane county, south
1 CONC ern Utah, December 6, 1862, bought a lot for a yoke of oxe
1 CONC n of James A. Bay, fixed up a shop and went to work.  Tha
1 CONC t winter, it rained almost incessantly for four months.
1 CONT      Stayed in Virgin City, Kane County, Utah on the Rio Vi
1 CONC rgin river for about seventeen years, or until the year 187
1 CONC 7, made good improvements in orchards and vineyards, and we
1 CONC nt through many privations too numerous to mention in tha
1 CONC t hard country with my family.  Was called in the spring o
1 CONC f 1877 to go to Arizona, which I accordingly performed in t
1 CONC he fall of the same year.
1 CONT         Here I am in Woodruff, Arizona, battling with har

1 CONC t has kept my nose to the grindstone, but thanks to the goo

1 CONC HARRIET MARIA BEEBE 
1 CONT As told by Eliza L. Gardner
1 CONT The wife of Fay Gardner
1 CONT Who was the 12th child of Harriet Maria Beebe & George Brya
1 CONC nt Gardner
1 CONT 
1 CONT Harriet Maria Beebe, the 3rd wife of George Bryant Gardner
1 CONC , was born 21 February 1836 at Yates, New York. Her fathe
1 CONC r was William Albert Beebe and her mother was Louisa Newton.
1 CONT She came to Salt Lake City in Brigham Young's Company, whe
1 CONC n a small girl. She often told about the trip and how she h
1 CONC ad scraped the mush kettle for President Young's supper. Sh
1 CONC e traveled with the Widow Green and she experienced all th
1 CONC e hardships of the other pioneers. As she grew to womanhood
1 CONC , she taught school in the homes of the saints and helped r
1 CONC aise the children of the communities where she lived.
1 CONT Harriet was persuaded by her father to marry George Bryan
1 CONC t Gardner, as a sure way to salvation. She was not happy ab
1 CONC out it in her young days but she stayed with it and live
1 CONC d a useful life. She was the mother of 13 children.
1 CONT She was set apart as a midwife by President Brigham Young a
1 CONC nd he told her she would have success as long as she truste
1 CONC d in her Heavenly Father and she surely did. She would tel
1 CONC l me to pray for her every time she left to care for the si
1 CONC ck. She went every time that she was sent for, no matter wh
1 CONC om or where, and God bless her, she never had a mother di
1 CONC e under her hands. She delivered three children for me; Jos
1 CONC eph was the 400th baby that she brought into the world.
1 CONT In her later years, she lived with us in the old home for t
1 CONC hree years, then went to Eureka, Utah, and lived with her s
1 CONC on Will for seven years, then returned to Woodruff and live
1 CONC d with us another two years. She died on the 11th of Augus
1 CONC t 1913 in our home in Woodruff, Arizona. She lived a wonder
1 CONC ful life, always ready to serve her fellowman, always pleas
1 CONC ant, with never a thought for herself.
1 CONT I think that I am the oldest one left of the family that kn
1 CONC ew her so well, and I loved her as my own Mother.

1 CONT ** An excerpt from the book "Woodruff, Arizona" By Marjori
1 CONC e Lupher:
1 CONT George Bryant Gardner and Wife, Harriet M. Beebe moved to W
1 CONC oodruff, AZ in 1883.
1 CONT Almost as soon as George and his family arrived in Woodruff
1 CONC , he was called to be chorister of the ward. His fine music
1 CONC al talent was sorely needed and he served as Ward Choriste
1 CONC r for 14 years, giving much time to the development and enj
1 CONC oyment of good music. He was a good wheelright and blacksmi
1 CONC th as well. His blacksmith shop was one of the first to b
1 CONC e built in Woodruff. Harriet was a woman of great capabilit
1 CONC ies. She was a mother to a large family, the first Woodruf
1 CONC f Primary President, a good neighbor and served as a nurs
1 CONC e for many years. She had a pleasant disposition and alway
1 CONC s had a yard of beautiful flowers

1 CONT MARTHA EMMA PELL LEWIS
1 CONT (Wife of Joseph Albert Lewis)
1 CONT (Born 25 April 1861 Great Staughton England)
1 CONT (Died 6 April 1935 Taylor Arizona)
1 CONT By
1 CONT Helen Gardner Teisher
1 CONT A Granddaughter,
1 CONT Daughter of Fay Ivan & Eliza Lewis Gardner
1 CONT 
1 CONT It will be a challenge to portray Grandma, so complex her c
1 CONC haracter, so rich her legacy, so unique her ways and her in
1 CONC teractions with others in her life. I can only attempt to d
1 CONC o justice to her and others.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Her husband, Joseph Lewis, died at a very early age, befor
1 CONC e he was forty years old. He died in Winslow where he was o
1 CONC n a plastering job, the trade he had learned in Utah befor
1 CONC e coming to Arizona. He had plastered the St. George templ
1 CONC e and the family never tired of telling with pride of his w
1 CONC ork. The cause of his death was always given as pleurisy, p
1 CONC robably pneumonia. (Remember, there was no magical medicin
1 CONC e in those days to cure infections.) He left six young chil
1 CONC dren, our mother, Eliza Medlock Lewis being the oldest girl
1 CONC . They had only Grandma to keep them from starvation. (Reme
1 CONC mber, too, there was no Aid to dependent Children or Welfar
1 CONC e in those days.) Grandma told me many times of coming hom
1 CONC e from the funeral to face the fact that she had only a fe
1 CONC w pounds of "Weevily flour" in the pantry. Her neighbors he
1 CONC lped and they all went to work to eke out a living from th
1 CONC e fields and gardens and orchards, which they owned. She to
1 CONC ld me of a hailstorm, which had pounded the ripe beans ou
1 CONC t of their pods onto the ground and how she had given the c
1 CONC hildren tin cups to fill by retrieving beans off the ground
1 CONC . To her eternal credit it must be noted that she kept th
1 CONC e family active and healthy.
1 CONT 
1 CONT After all her six children grew up and moved away she refus
1 CONC ed to live alone, so Aunt Lucy and Mother provided her wit
1 CONC h children, one at a time, to live with her. All of us too
1 CONC k turns; Bessie, Emma, Ida, Paul and I stayed the longest
1 CONC . We all had our memories and stories to tell about this ex
1 CONC perience - sharp and sad memories which do not fade away. T
1 CONC ime does dim the exact time but I know I spent more than th
1 CONC ree years with her when I was in elementary school, and the
1 CONC n went back when I was in high school for two more years
1 CONC . I volunteered to go back the second time to get away fro
1 CONC m older sister Emma who in her own officious way was tryin
1 CONC g to mold me to her own specifications. I rebelled and wen
1 CONC t back to grandma's seeking sanctuary and escape from thi
1 CONC s untenable situation at home.
1 CONT 
1 CONT We were the chosen companions of this dynamo - this wiry, e
1 CONC nergetic little woman obsessed with working. We also worke
1 CONC d very hard alongside her in the garden, the barn, the chic
1 CONC ken coop, the yards and the fields. School was incidental
1 CONC , never the most serious part of our lives. It was the WORK
1 CONC , which was important. In the summer we were up before th
1 CONC e sun to pull and hoe the weeds, to cultivate with the pitc
1 CONC h fork, to feed and milk the cow, to clean the stable, to c
1 CONC hop the wood, to feed the chickens and clean the coop, to p
1 CONC ick the strawberries, to pull and wash the root vegetables
1 CONC . Many summer days we stood in the hot sun for hours pickin
1 CONC g currants and gooseberries from the bushes which Grandfath
1 CONC er and Grandma had planted around the entire perimeter of t
1 CONC he lower field, the area of which measured at least forty a
1 CONC cres. We filled those large pails with berries and then tot
1 CONC ed them the two or more miles back home, four buckets a
1 CONC t a time, two in each hand.
1 CONT 
1 CONT On Memorial Day she sold great tubs full of flowers to th
1 CONC e townsfolk's to decorate the graves of their family member
1 CONC s buried in the windy, barren cemetery outside of Taylor. I
1 CONC t was so typical of Grandma, that little widow approachin
1 CONC g her senior years, to be the only one in town who grew s
1 CONC o many flowers that she could sell them to others who didn'
1 CONC t raise their own.
1 CONT 
1 CONT All of this produce as well as butter and milk was sold a
1 CONC t the stores and to neighbors. After Uncle Jim got his Mode
1 CONC l A Ford he would take great loads of produce to McNary t
1 CONC o peddle to the lumberjacks and their families. This mill t
1 CONC own was about fifty miles from Taylor and home to several t
1 CONC housand inhabitants, all more than anxious to buy these fin
1 CONC e fresh vegetables and fruit. Uncle Jim was always successf
1 CONC ul. He came home from his trip with the produce gone and mo
1 CONC ney in his pockets.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Grandma's share of the money was squirreled away in the fla
1 CONC t-topped pine trunk under the window in the living room. Sh
1 CONC e had many houseplants on top of the trunk. I always though
1 CONC t she kept those plants there to keep everyone out. Afte
1 CONC r I went to bed but not to sleep I could hear her countin
1 CONC g her money - the silver dollars, the half dollars, the qua
1 CONC rters, dimes and nickels, yes, even the pennies. Frugality
1 CONC , thy name was Grandma! Once I peeked and saw the high stac
1 CONC ks of paper money and coins arrayed before her smiling face
1 CONC . "The Queen was in the counting house, counting out her mo
1 CONC ney." A much deserved award for her hours and hours of back
1 CONC breaking work!
1 CONT 
1 CONT At one time she deposited her money in a bank in Snowflake
1 CONC . That bank failed. In those days banks weren't under super
1 CONC vision of the government and could fail whenever they wishe
1 CONC d. She went to the bank and met the manager at the door. Sh
1 CONC e demanded her money. He refused. He was a very tall man an
1 CONC d she a short little woman, not quite five feet tall. She s
1 CONC lipped between his legs into the bank and took up her vigi
1 CONC l from a chair there. "I'll stay until you give me my money
1 CONC ," she announced. Stay she did until he gave up and produce
1 CONC d her money. From that time she never "darkened the door o
1 CONC f a bank" and kept her money in a safer place, in a trunk i
1 CONC n her house. Let me digress to say she never locked her doo
1 CONC rs and sat with open doors and windows in full light counti
1 CONC ng out her money. Safe, she was, and she knew it!
1 CONT 
1 CONT Irrigation made the difference in every aspect of living i
1 CONC n that barren land. The Church developed an irrigation syst
1 CONC em, which has been given credit by many historians as the p
1 CONC aramount reason for the flowering of the entire western Uni
1 CONC ted States. To verify the truth of this assertion one onl
1 CONC y has to look at the agricultural empire which has develope
1 CONC d in the Salt River Valley in Arizona and in the valley o
1 CONC f the Great Salt Lake in Utah, and in other areas in the We
1 CONC st. WATER IS THE CATALYST! Un-irrigated infertile desert li
1 CONC es alongside the lush, abundantly productive fields, whic
1 CONC h have been watered.
1 CONT 
1 CONT This same magic also took place in northern Arizona after t
1 CONC he settlers there were able to develop their irrigation sys
1 CONC tem and provide the life-giving element to all the landowne
1 CONC rs. An intricate system of ditches led from the reservoir
1 CONC s where water from the creeks and rivers was stored and mon
1 CONC itored. A Board of Directors managed this invaluable resour
1 CONC ce under the old Riparian water Laws. Each landowner bough
1 CONC t shares of the water and was therefore entitled to a certa
1 CONC in amount of water according to the extent of their land. T
1 CONC he time and amount of water were scheduled and all knew the
1 CONC ir allotments. Grandma, as well as other property owners, t
1 CONC ook the water form the main ditch at scheduled times. Her "
1 CONC turn" might come at any time of the day or night and we ha
1 CONC d to "take the water" at that time. Very often Grandma's tu
1 CONC rn came at four o'clock in the morning and we went out wit
1 CONC h our lanterns to turn the water on to the garden, orchard
1 CONC , lawn, and flower beds.
1 CONT 
1 CONT There were two grooved posts on either side of the main dit
1 CONC ch and we would slip a water gate into the grooves thus tur
1 CONC ning the full force of the water in the main ditch into ou
1 CONC r own ditch which ran across the entire top of Grandma's lo
1 CONC t. From that ditch we diverted the water into each row of t
1 CONC he garden, and gravity did the rest. It was my job to go do
1 CONC wn each row to see that nothing impeded the flow of the wat
1 CONC er. The orchard, berry patch and flowerbeds were all floode
1 CONC d. Diligent planning and much experience had prepared ever
1 CONC y step of the watering so that the process had become routi
1 CONC ne and almost easy. We worshipped and husbanded that water
1 CONC . It had made us rich!
1 CONT 
1 CONT Even Daisy the cow could not have been Grandma's without th
1 CONC e water. This lovely Guernsey was a very important member o
1 CONC f the family. She was carefully watched over as she queene
1 CONC d in her spotless stall in the barn munching on choice ha
1 CONC y and grains. On most mornings we turned her out of the bar
1 CONC nyard so she could graze in the open fields all around us
1 CONC . She wore a tinkling bell around her neck, and as she graz
1 CONC ed we could hear it and know where she was. Part of my chor
1 CONC es was to bring her home in the evening. Oh, the joy and re
1 CONC lief at finding her. Then I knew she would be safe in her b
1 CONC arn and Grandma could milk her morning and night. The firs
1 CONC t step she took inside the barnyard was to the main ditch
1 CONC , which ran constantly at the edge of the yard. That precio
1 CONC us water! kept her alive and healthy and able to produce ri
1 CONC ch milk for all of us.
1 CONT 
1 CONT There were many fruit trees in her orchard - peaches, apple
1 CONC s, pears, plums, cherries, crab apples. Berries of every va
1 CONC riety thrived nearby. There was a vineyard where great bunc
1 CONC hes of Concord grapes hung ready to be picked and made int
1 CONC o jelly and jam and "juice". The "juice" was really wine bu
1 CONC t no one in that Mormon community would have dared label i
1 CONC t correctly. This juice was kept in the cellar and passed o
1 CONC ut very carefully and stingily when visitors came on Sunday
1 CONC s. Boys and men were always ready to volunteer to go down i
1 CONC nto the cellar for apples or peaches, potatoes or jelly. Th
1 CONC ey knew they would have a chance to steal a cup or two of t
1 CONC he juice, which aged in the barrels there. On Monday mornin
1 CONC gs I always had to listen to Grandma complain that someho
1 CONC w the barrels seemed lighter. How could so much evaporate
1 CONC ? Once I explained that evaporation couldn't take place i
1 CONC n a closed barrel. She didn't appreciate my erudition!
1 CONT 
1 CONT Mother and Dad came the thirty-five miles between home an
1 CONC d Grandma's as often as they could. Mother always came carr
1 CONC ying great loads of good food - the likes of which Grandm
1 CONC a and I never enjoyed when we were alone. She was an indiff
1 CONC erent cook. Our meals were scant, frugal and without imagin
1 CONC ation. There was always the ham, which had to be parboile
1 CONC d to remove the salt, which preserved it. I do not remembe
1 CONC r having any other kind of meat except that which Mother br
1 CONC ought or the occasional chicken which Uncle Jim killed an
1 CONC d left for Grandma and me to de-feather and clean. Grandm
1 CONC a always explained that we were following the dictates of t
1 CONC he Church: We drink no liquor and we eat but a very littl
1 CONC e meat; tea and coffee and tobacco we despise.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Our diet was really very healthful, many vegetables and fru
1 CONC it, grains and dairy foods and eggs. There was a flourmil
1 CONC l in Snowflake where we took the wheat and oats to be mille
1 CONC d into white and whole-wheat flour, cracked wheat to be boi
1 CONC led for cereal, and oatmeal. Our flour bin was always ful
1 CONC l ready for the baking which Grandma did so reluctantly an
1 CONC d Mother and Aunt Mary so joyfully. Homemade bread was slic
1 CONC ed in great slabs from the loaves, which Grandma kept o
1 CONC n a shelf in the flour bin. Butter was churned from the clo
1 CONC tted cream, which rose on top of the milk after it had bee
1 CONC n pasteurized by heating it slowly on top of the stove in t
1 CONC he large vertical-sided milk pans. This pasteurization gav
1 CONC e it a taste that I have never before or since found. The m
1 CONC ilk left over from selling it to a regular customer or fro
1 CONC m our personal use was fed to the pigs.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Every morning we had hot cereal with thick cream and raisin
1 CONC s, which I took by the handful from the jar in the cupboar
1 CONC d in the dining room. Even though I never missed the frown
1 CONC s when I helped myself to the raisins I never stopped goin
1 CONC g brazenly to the cupboard to get them for myself every mor
1 CONC ning.
1 CONT 
1 CONT  School lunch was always the same- jelly sandwiches, hard-b
1 CONC oiled eggs, an apple and sometimes a cookie. Mother alway
1 CONC s brought her puffy, soft sugar cookies and Grandma doled t
1 CONC hem out carefully. Years of deprivation in England and in t
1 CONC he early days in Arizona had made Grandma believe that ou
1 CONC r skimpy meals were more than adequate, sumptuous in compar
1 CONC ison to what she had known. Food was, to her, the least imp
1 CONC ortant of life's necessities.
1 CONT 
1 CONT When company came some afternoons she served thin slices o
1 CONC f fruitcake, which she kept in a small "press" in the livin
1 CONC g room. When she knew her visitors well enough she would se
1 CONC rve a cup of tea with it. The tea was never offered to th
1 CONC e Relief Society visitors who came every month. Her religio
1 CONC n would not allow her to drink tea with approval, but she n
1 CONC ever gave up this pleasure learned in England. She even off
1 CONC ered me a cup but I never acquired a taste for the green te
1 CONC a, which she drank with such relish. She also kept other ca
1 CONC kes in the press. Aunt Mary made beautiful white cakes seve
1 CONC n or eight layers high, frosted with meringue. These cake
1 CONC s were kept so long that they were like re-crystallized sug
1 CONC ar, crumble, sand-dry, but tasty and sweet nevertheless. On
1 CONC ce a friend brought Grandma a lovely decorated cake. Overco
1 CONC me with the beauty of the cake she kept it. It was never cu
1 CONC t. Months, even years, later there it was - dry as cardboar
1 CONC d but perfectly beautiful.
1 CONT 
1 CONT In the evenings before going to bed we always got into ou
1 CONC r nightgowns, braided our hair into one braid hanging dow
1 CONC n our back, and got down on our knees before the little roc
1 CONC king chairs in the living room to say our prayers. Then w
1 CONC e ate an apple before we went to bed. Those apples which we
1 CONC re lined up on the bookshelves became more wrinkled, drier
1 CONC , and as Grandma said "mellow" as time went by.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Shortly after their marriage in the St. George Temple Josep
1 CONC h and Martha Lewis had been sent as missionaries to coloniz
1 CONC e the territory in the valley of the Little Colorado Rive
1 CONC r in northern Arizona. The area now comprises northern Nava
1 CONC jo and Apache counties. They were able to acquire good farm
1 CONC ing land, referred to in this account as the upper and lowe
1 CONC r fields and the ten or so acres around the cabin. The pla
1 CONC n of the Church was to situate the farms and fields outsid
1 CONC e the township. The homes, schools, church, stores and pos
1 CONC t office were centered in a much smaller area, put togethe
1 CONC r to foster a sense of community among members of the Churc
1 CONC h. This feature along with the very wide streets is charact
1 CONC eristic of the many Mormon settlements which spring up in t
1 CONC he west at this period of expansion of the Church.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Martha and Joseph first went to the far north and east of A
1 CONC rizona to Nutrioso. It was to cold there with a very shor
1 CONC t growing season, too inhospitable for them to eke out a li
1 CONC ving. A baby girl was born and died there. Grandma told m
1 CONC e that the roof was packed earth and that when it rained mu
1 CONC ddy water leaked over everything.
1 CONT 
1 CONT They moved to Taylor to a much warmer climate and settled t
1 CONC here for the rest of their lives. Grandfather built their f
1 CONC irst cabin there. There was a sawmill nearby where the buil
1 CONC ding materials were available. It was in this cabin made o
1 CONC f close-cropped squared logs with mortise and tenon joint
1 CONC s at the corners that grandma spent her life. Grandfather p
1 CONC lastered the walls inside and out and whitewashed the inter
1 CONC ior walls. This cabin was well built, snug and weather proo
1 CONC f, strong against the challenging elements, which assaile
1 CONC d it. Through the years the house had been enlarged and imp
1 CONC roved. A dining room had been built across the entire lengt
1 CONC h of the cabin with smaller rooms on both ends of the dinin
1 CONC g room. Grandma told me that the dining room and the room
1 CONC s flanking it had been added when they were expecting visit
1 CONC ors from Salt Lake City, members of the General Authoritie
1 CONC s of the Church. The house had been refurnished and redecor
1 CONC ated in expectation of the return of Joseph, Jr. from his A
1 CONC ustralian mission. Other improvements had been made in hono
1 CONC r of my mother's marriage to Faye Ivan Gardner.
1 CONT 
1 CONT I have a picture of the young couple in front of the origin
1 CONC al cabin before the other rooms were added. At the window
1 CONC s easily seen are delicate sheer lace curtains, symbols o
1 CONC f Grandma's love of beauty and insistence on living "civili
1 CONC zed" when all about her was uncivilized. Grandma had been "
1 CONC fortunate enough" (her words) to work in Brigham Young's ho
1 CONC me as a maid when she first came to Utah from England. I al
1 CONC ways thought she wasn't telling the truth when she said the
1 CONC y always put a light film of milk on the scrubbed floors t
1 CONC o make them shine. Now I've learned that lactose is an ingr
1 CONC edient in floor wax, so maybe they knew early what it too
1 CONC k floor product manufacturers longer to learn. Anyway, no
1 CONC w I believe you, Grandma. She learned much about good house
1 CONC keeping there and valiantly tried to reach high standards i
1 CONC n her own home.
1 CONT 
1 CONT A combination of rich, fertile farming land with plenty o
1 CONC f water for irrigation, hard work, good management and frug
1 CONC al living led to prosperity for Grandma. In England she ha
1 CONC d been a "tweeny", a young girl in training to become a ser
1 CONC vant in the rich "houses" there. She must have remembered t
1 CONC hose houses as she furnished her own parlor. It was very En
1 CONC glish! When I came to live there she had this elegant "fron
1 CONC t room" with a fireplace, a red brocade chaise lounge, boo
1 CONC k cases, a round oak table in the center of the room drape
1 CONC d in red tapestry, and a bureau on top of which she display
1 CONC ed her numerous treasured Meissen figurines, valuable piece
1 CONC s acquired from who knows where or how. She had draped th
1 CONC e mantle with red velvet with tassels between each scallo
1 CONC p of the drape. More of the figurines stood on either sid
1 CONC e of the ormulo clock. As a child I spent many hours makin
1 CONC g up stories to go with those figurines. No one ever hear
1 CONC d these stories, but they amuse me...romances between the b
1 CONC eautiful maidens who stood in virginal glory amid the rose
1 CONC s blooming all around. My favorite was of a maiden on a swi
1 CONC ng being pushed by a lad standing alongside. How I dreame
1 CONC d of her pleasure as she went up and down in the swing so g
1 CONC ently pushed by her faithful swain. Recently I found a desc
1 CONC ription in Edith Wharton's novel, In Old New York, of jus
1 CONC t such porcelain. "There was a shepherdess sitting on a fal
1 CONC len trunk, a basket of flowers at her feet. A shepherd is s
1 CONC tealing up to surprise her with a kiss, while her little do
1 CONC g barked at him from a clump of roses." (I would give my ri
1 CONC ght arm to have been able to write that description!)
1 CONT 
1 CONT On the walls hung photos of long gone relatives in oval fra
1 CONC mes under convex glass. Grandma told me many anecdotes abou
1 CONC t these people. So vivid were her stories that the characte
1 CONC rs came alive for me. It was always a surprise to know tha
1 CONC t my other grandmother, Father's mother Mariah Beebe Gardne
1 CONC r, was there with the Lewis relatives. Grandma's dislike fo
1 CONC r the Gardners apparently did not extend to my Grandmothe
1 CONC r Gardner. One of the pictures was of Mom and Dad in thei
1 CONC r wedding clothes. I have a reproduction of that valued pic
1 CONC ture hanging on my walls. (More about this wedding in my ac
1 CONC count of Mother and Dad later.) The floor was carpeted bu
1 CONC t I do not remember the pattern.
1 CONT 
1 CONT The center of beauty in that home was Grandma's bed, an orn
1 CONC ate brass affair piled high VERY HIGH with many pillows enc
1 CONC ased in starched white percale trimmed with intricate lac
1 CONC e at least eight inches long. The white spread was rich wit
1 CONC h quilting and eyelet lace. All was flat and soft, the feat
1 CONC her bed base fluffed and smoothed to perfection. It took se
1 CONC veral minutes each night for Grandma to undress the bed an
1 CONC d carefully fold all the dressings. Then she could crawl be
1 CONC neath the sheets to lie enfolded in the warmth of the feath
1 CONC er bed under the eider quilt for her night's rest, which sh
1 CONC e so richly deserved. In the morning no matter now imperiou
1 CONC sly the work outside called to her the first order of busin
1 CONC ess was to make the bed and leave it in all its glory for h
1 CONC er to look at before she undressed it and herself for the n
1 CONC ight. Every child in that family was told, and never forgot
1 CONC , that no one NO ONE ever touched Grandma's bed!
1 CONT 
1 CONT The dining room boasted a china closet with glass doors thr
1 CONC ough which we could see Grandma's china and crystal. Rememb
1 CONC er she was English and the English love china. She had coll
1 CONC ected some lovely sets and pieces. We rarely used any of it
1 CONC . It was to look at and admire, which we often did. The kit
1 CONC chen was a small, unfinished room off the dining room, refl
1 CONC ecting Grandma's disinterest in food and its preparation. T
1 CONC here was a large wood range taking up one entire wall. On t
1 CONC he other wall was a table on which we prepared the food an
1 CONC d washed the dishes. There was a bench with a large water p
1 CONC ail, a wash bowl with towels hanging on the wall along wit
1 CONC h a small mirror. The back door led to a yard where there w
1 CONC as a well with pump, paths leading to the cellar and the ou
1 CONC tbuildings, the garden and the barn. All around the edges o
1 CONC f the paths Grandma had planted flowers which grew profusel
1 CONC y in the summer and then wilted down in the winter. The Swe
1 CONC et Williams and small carnations and dwarf dahlias were ou
1 CONC r favorites. We enjoyed the colors and liked to arrange the
1 CONC m harmoniously in cut arrangements for the living room or t
1 CONC ake to neighbors when we made infrequent calls. No one eve
1 CONC r called on us without receiving flowers from the yard on d
1 CONC eparture. Some Sunday's Grandma would take an especially lo
1 CONC vely bouquet to Church.
1 CONT 
1 CONT My own little room was a combination of bedroom for me an
1 CONC d a storage room for Grandma's possessions. My bed was with
1 CONC out beauty, as ugly as Grandma's was pretty. However, it wa
1 CONC s pleasant enough. I crawled under the warm quilts betwee
1 CONC n the flannel sheets in winter and the cotton ones in summe
1 CONC r and felt at home and well cared for. I loved the privacy
1 CONC , the comforting aloneness where I could rest and dream m
1 CONC y dreams. There was a large window at the side of the bed
1 CONC . I could look out and see the rose bushes, the apple trees
1 CONC , the peony and lilac bushes all blooming in their season a
1 CONC nd all emitting their aromas, all enriching my treasured an
1 CONC d lovely solitude, my retreat from teasing classmates and d
1 CONC emanding Grandmothers and teachers.
1 CONT 
1 CONT It was through that window that I committed my one and onl
1 CONC y act of defiance while I lived with Grandma. When I was gr
1 CONC aduating from eighth grade there was to be a much talked-ab
1 CONC out dance at the Church. (The doctrine of separation of chu
1 CONC rch and state was ignored there. Church and State operate
1 CONC d hand-in-hand very much together.) Grandma said I couldn'
1 CONC t go: it was too late, she couldn't go with me, and I could
1 CONC n't go alone. When she left me to go to her bed I hastily d
1 CONC ressed in my school clothes, climbed out the window and ra
1 CONC n down the hill to the dance. I went inside the Church an
1 CONC d was dazzled by what I saw and heard. Everyone was dresse
1 CONC d in party clothes. There was a live dance band and refresh
1 CONC ments were spread on tables at the side of the dance floor
1 CONC . Everyone in town, young and old was there. Panic overcam
1 CONC e me as I realized that someone would surely tell Grandma t
1 CONC hat I had been there. I stayed a minute or two and then ra
1 CONC n back up the hill through the window and into my bed. Th
1 CONC e band played on! I could still hear the music after I ha
1 CONC d pulled the covers over my head and tried to settle down a
1 CONC fter this taste of forbidden pleasure. Thank Heaven Grandm
1 CONC a never found me out.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Living with Grandma has affected me all of my life. After b
1 CONC eing there I could never go home again. The clamor and di
1 CONC n of our busy household with many people living under one r
1 CONC oof was very disturbing to me after the quiet of living alo
1 CONC ne with Grandma. At her home I was never allowed to play wi
1 CONC th anyone except at school where I was so socially inept th
1 CONC at I didn't make friends. No other child my own age ever ca
1 CONC me to Grandma's except a cousin now and then. At school I w
1 CONC as the "different" one, the isolet, deeply depressed, out o
1 CONC f place. I remember long episodes of crying especially whe
1 CONC n I was in sixth grade in Taylor and in high school in Snow
1 CONC flake. Today it strikes me as unusual, without reason, tha
1 CONC t no teacher ever approached me during those "crying spells
1 CONC " to ask what was wrong, or how they could help. I just cri
1 CONC ed and cried and then slunk about in the classrooms in deep
1 CONC est shame because I had cried, truly, a "wistful derelict".
1 CONT 
1 CONT Grandma was the town character sneeringly referred to as "A
1 CONC unt Marthey" by the cruel youngsters in the town. Becaus
1 CONC e I lived with her I, too, was the brunt of their ridicul
1 CONC e and jokes. In summer I was sent to the post office to ge
1 CONC t the mail. As I walked along the unpaved sidewalks I woul
1 CONC d hear the boys call out to me from behind bushes and hedge
1 CONC s, "Aunt Marthey! Aunt Marthey! Have you had your tea today
1 CONC ?" I withdrew into a protective shell, lost myself in clas
1 CONC s work, and rushed home after school to do the chores and r
1 CONC ead to Grandma. In those days children were not given enric
1 CONC hed curricula but were accelerated. No one in the family wa
1 CONC s consulted about this step in their child's educational pr
1 CONC ogram. The teachers and the principal decided that the wor
1 CONC k of the next grade would not be too difficult and the chil
1 CONC d was unceremoniously advanced. I, myself, never went to fi
1 CONC rst, third, fifth or seventh grades, so graduated into hig
1 CONC h school in peach voile trimmed with baby lace. Because o
1 CONC f skipping grades I had always been the youngest, the small
1 CONC est, and the slowest in the class. Usually the judgment tha
1 CONC t I was ready for the next grade was erroneous. It was alwa
1 CONC ys a profound shock to go from the top to the one class t
1 CONC o the bottom of the next class. In making that transitio
1 CONC n I met snubs, and more name-calling: "You think you're sma
1 CONC rt, don't you?" "Little baby" and after the crying "cry bab
1 CONC y".
1 CONT 
1 CONT Grandma never lost her Cockney accent learned as a member o
1 CONC f the servant class in England. She wore funny little hat
1 CONC s perched on top of her head. She dashed quickly through th
1 CONC e streets with no time to squander gossiping with the neigh
1 CONC bors. I trailed along behind, usually barefoot, kicking u
1 CONC p the dust from the unpaved streets as we went our way fro
1 CONC m place to place selling our eggs, berries, cucumbers and s
1 CONC quash, all varieties of root vegetables, potatoes, carrots
1 CONC , beets and onions, peaches, apples and pears. Townsfolk'
1 CONC s spoke to us, the men tipping their hats and women smilin
1 CONC g and calling out greetings.
1 CONT 
1 CONT There was another side to Grandma. I will try hard to be ob
1 CONC jective but my experiences with her make objectivity almos
1 CONC t impossible. Let me say to the family members who will rea
1 CONC d this that I try to be honest, to tell how it was for me
1 CONC . I acknowledge that these are my memories. Yours might b
1 CONC e entirely different because all of us see the same thing
1 CONC s through different eyes. We all interpret the same happeni
1 CONC ngs from entirely different perspectives. I can only try t
1 CONC o portray Grandma truthfully and clearly.
1 CONT 
1 CONT After spending the last almost forty years of my life study
1 CONC ing mental illness (Our son John suffers from paranoid schi
1 CONC zophrenia.) I have become somewhat of an expert in this fie
1 CONC ld, (How much I would rather been an expert on anything els
1 CONC e - Cowboy Songs of the West, or Native Plants of the Arizo
1 CONC na desert, for instance.) However -- as I think about Grand
1 CONC ma I am convinced that she also suffered some form of menta
1 CONC l illness.
1 CONT 
1 CONT She was given to rages brought on by seemingly innocuous in
1 CONC cidents which no one else would have even noticed. She woul
1 CONC d go into a rage and for several hours, even days sometimes
1 CONC ; she would "rant and rave", obsess over insignificant deta
1 CONC ils in imagined slight or injustices, telling and re-tellin
1 CONC g the details of the offense.
1 CONT 
1 CONT From time to time, not all the time and not often, I was th
1 CONC e object of her temper. I remember one time she spent hour
1 CONC s one afternoon chasing me all over the property from bar
1 CONC n to thicket, from street to house because she imagined tha
1 CONC t I had stolen a pencil from her bureau drawer. At last sh
1 CONC e was exhausted and she quietly called me in for my suppe
1 CONC r of bread and milk. She sat at the end of the table with m
1 CONC e at her side and we ate in cold silence. The next mornin
1 CONC g life went on as if no such event had happened the night b
1 CONC efore. (Incidentally, I didn't take the pencil.)
1 CONT 
1 CONT Another time when Aunt Lucy and her family had come from Wi
1 CONC nslow to spend Sunday she took me along with them to Shumwa
1 CONC y to visit the Rhoton relatives. We spent a very happy da
1 CONC y playing with cousins and having supper with Grandma Rhoto
1 CONC n. In the late evening we returned to Grandma's. Aunt Lucy'
1 CONC s family rushed back to Winslow and I was left alone to fac
1 CONC e Grandma's rage. She screamed and threatened because I ha
1 CONC d not come home earlier. I, who had no way of returning unt
1 CONC il the adults brought me home, was given the entire respons
1 CONC ibility for staying away for hours! Grandma was angry becau
1 CONC se she had not been invited but had spent the day alone. Gr
1 CONC andma went completely out of control, completely out of rea
1 CONC son!
1 CONT 
1 CONT Another occasion comes to mind. There was a funeral, whos
1 CONC e I don't remember. We attended the services at the Church
1 CONC , and then for some reason Grandma separated from me. She w
1 CONC alked home and I went with Uncle Jim and Aunt Mary to the c
1 CONC emetery. When we returned later it was to face Grandma's wr
1 CONC ath. Innocent child that I was the injustice enraged me. A
1 CONC s usual Uncle Jim and Aunt Mary sat there frozen-faced whil
1 CONC e Grandma "took after" me. They didn't speak up in my defen
1 CONC se. They were intimidated too, no doubt.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Grandma disliked our father. Mother always laughingly expla
1 CONC ined it by saying that Grandma could never forgive him fo
1 CONC r taking away her eldest daughter. Grandma had hateful word
1 CONC s for him: ne'r-do-well, Indian, wanderer, Gypsy, lazy. On
1 CONC e day we were weeding the garden and she spent the entire m
1 CONC orning belittling my father. I didn't work fast enough to p
1 CONC lease her and she said in sneering tones, "Just like your n
1 CONC o-good father. A Gardner through and through." I lost my Ga
1 CONC rdner temper and instead of pulling out weeds I pulled ou
1 CONC t the squash vines. She was so shocked that the tirade stop
1 CONC ped and we went on working.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Other characteristics add to my belief that Grandma suffere
1 CONC d mental illness. There was no end to her manic energy, he
1 CONC r frantic search for perfection. In housekeeping, as in al
1 CONC l aspects of her life, she was driven to total superiority
1 CONC . Her house was immaculate, neat in every corner, nothing o
1 CONC ut of place, nothing neglected. Every Monday morning her wa
1 CONC shing was the first on the line in the entire town, the whi
1 CONC test, the most carefully hung on the line, the first to b
1 CONC e taken down and ironed and put away in the afternoon. On S
1 CONC aturday evenings we went across the street to get water t
1 CONC o fill the wash tubs. This water was red with mud from th
1 CONC e soil of the area. We had to let it "settle" in the big tu
1 CONC bs over Sunday so that Monday morning we could carefully di
1 CONC p off the clear water on top of the mud which had now settl
1 CONC ed to the bottoms of the tubs. This was Grandma's secret t
1 CONC o having lovely white washing. She was disdainful of the re
1 CONC ddish brown hue of her neighbors' washing, which resulted f
1 CONC rom their using "unsettled" water. (There are many ways t
1 CONC o feel superior, and this was one of Grandma's favorite way
1 CONC s.)
1 CONT 
1 CONT Every Saturday, weather permitting, every pillow, every bla
1 CONC nket, every rug, every picture off the walls, every book of
1 CONC f the shelves was dusted, cleaned and left outside in the y
1 CONC ard in the sun. All was returned to a scrubbed house befor
1 CONC e sunset. This was only one ritual she imposed upon hersel
1 CONC f -- as she worked without ceasing under an overwhelming, u
1 CONC nbridled compulsion to keep busy.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Every path was swept daily; the very chips from the woodpil
1 CONC e were gathered and stored away in neat little piles. The w
1 CONC ood was stacked symmetrically. The ashes from the stoves an
1 CONC d fireplace were removed and used in the henhouse and stabl
1 CONC e to keep them clean and odorless. Every weed was pulled fr
1 CONC om the garden and orchard. Every tree and bush was trimmed
1 CONC . Every leaf that fell in the fall was raked and stacked i
1 CONC n neat heaps for burning or for the cow's floor in the stab
1 CONC le.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Grandma was also given to "visions" I would call them hallu
1 CONC cinations. She often said that Grandfather visited her. Oft
1 CONC en while sitting at breakfast she would bow down her head a
1 CONC nd when she looked up she would say that he had "come to he
1 CONC r", giving her advice or praise for what she was doing. The
1 CONC se visits were very important to her. She would rise from t
1 CONC he table exhilarated, full of frenetic energy, as she pursu
1 CONC ed the tasks she had imposed upon herself for the day. An
1 CONC d on that day the talk flowed freely and fast. She often qu
1 CONC oted Grandfather after these visits. It always surprised m
1 CONC e that Grandfather was saying the exact things that Grandm
1 CONC a herself said at other times.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Mother told me about one experience she had with Grandma an
1 CONC d her visions. An unearthly apparition had come to Grandm
1 CONC a She had gone into a trance from which Mother could not ro
1 CONC use her. Mother sent for the elders. They came and after an
1 CONC ointing her with the consecrated oil they had prayed for he
1 CONC r, and she had returned no normalcy. Mother swore me to sec
1 CONC recy which promise I have kept until this moment. However
1 CONC , now I think my relating this incident will serve to portr
1 CONC ay Grandma's personality in it entirety.
1 CONT 
1 CONT I'm sitting here trying to remember if Grandma was literate
1 CONC . She never told me about school in England. I cannot remem
1 CONC ber ever seeing her read although she valued books and ha
1 CONC d quite a collection of good books in her house. I remembe
1 CONC r that she always asked me to read the letters she receive
1 CONC d from her children away from home. She always dictated ans
1 CONC wers to me to write in return. I also made out the orders w
1 CONC e sent to mail order houses when we bought clothes or house
1 CONC hold goods. this, however, is not to say that she didn't kn
1 CONC ow how to read and write. Perhaps she would just rather kee
1 CONC p busy peeling the potatoes or shelling the peas. Her hand
1 CONC s were never idle. In the evenings she liked to listen to m
1 CONC e read, usually from the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and C
1 CONC ovenants, The Pearl of Great Price, or from the books I bro
1 CONC ught home from school. We had subscriptions to church and f
1 CONC armers magazines. She always sat close by and watched me d
1 CONC o my homework. She was very quick in arithmetic which we en
1 CONC joyed doing together.
1 CONT 
1 CONT The influence of the church upon this woman was profound. T
1 CONC hink of the circumstances in her life as a child. Her mothe
1 CONC r joined the church in England. Then they came to Utah unde
1 CONC r the sponsorship of the Church through the Perpetual Immig
1 CONC ration Fund. She was almost immediately sent as a young bri
1 CONC de to settle in northern Arizona. Think of the poverty an
1 CONC d deprivation she endured to carry out the wishes of the Ch
1 CONC urch to expand into this area, to "carry the gospel" into t
1 CONC hat barren and uninhabited land. She sent her eldest son, J
1 CONC oseph, Jr. on a mission to Australia and supported him enti
1 CONC rely for three years. That above all demonstrates the since
1 CONC rity of her faith. She spoke often of her testimony of th
1 CONC e truth of Joseph smith, but she also expressed bitternes
1 CONC s at the General Authorities who sent and kept certain peop
1 CONC le in the hard circumstances of life in northern Arizona wh
1 CONC ile more affluent, more fortunate members prospered in th
1 CONC e rich valleys of the Great Salt Lake. She had the pioneers
1 CONC ' dislike and suspicion of anyone who didn't belong to th
1 CONC e Church - the distrusted gentiles. She held all "apostates
1 CONC " in unmitigated scorn. One of the Gardner aunts was though
1 CONC t to be in the category and Grandma never ceased her condem
1 CONC nation of this fallen angel.
1 CONT 
1 CONT She never really explained the principles of the Church t
1 CONC o me. All of that was simply taken for granted. I always ha
1 CONC ve thought that the children of members are sometimes the l
1 CONC east educated of all about the tenets of the Church. It i
1 CONC s just assumed that children believe what their parents bel
1 CONC ieve even if those beliefs are not fully explained or taugh
1 CONC t to them. This was certainly true in my case. We always we
1 CONC nt to Sunday School in the morning and then home to dinner
1 CONC , usually with visitors, always with Uncle Jim and Aunt Mar
1 CONC y. Then at 2:00 we went back to Sacrament Meeting. Grandm
1 CONC a always attended Relief Society and I went to Primary. Whe
1 CONC n I was older I also went to Mutual. I joined the 4-H Clu
1 CONC b where the girls were taught to embroider and cook and th
1 CONC e boys were taught to raise crops and livestock. Preparatio
1 CONC n for the future, of course.
1 CONT 
1 CONT The influence of living with Grandma upon me was profound a
1 CONC nd lasting. My feelings, for the most part, were locked ins
1 CONC ide me, never expressed. In those days and in that famil
1 CONC y I would never have dared to oppose this martinet in whos
1 CONC e house I lived. My anger showed itself in other ways - ang
1 CONC er, which led to depression which, haunted me days and nigh
1 CONC ts. I constantly sought out solitude, a chance to indulge m
1 CONC y eternal and never-ending, very active imagination, my esc
1 CONC ape to a happier world than the one in which I lived in rea
1 CONC lity. My efforts were aimed at excelling in school. I grove
1 CONC led before adults seeking approval which never was expresse
1 CONC d to me. I remember few incidents of praise or affection. G
1 CONC randma never struck me, never once, but her verbal disappro
1 CONC val was always imminent, always feared, and deflected in ev
1 CONC ery possible way. This fear of disapproval led to constan
1 CONC t ever-present anxiety and nervousness for I never knew whe
1 CONC n the storm would erupt.
1 CONT 
1 CONT I sought and found all kinds of places to hide. My favorit
1 CONC e was the woodpile. The wood was gathered from the cedar fo
1 CONC rest all about us. It was piled high, one sturdy branch abo
1 CONC ve the other. I discovered a little space amid the branche
1 CONC s roofed over by the tree limbs. I would crawl inside thi
1 CONC s little room deep inside the sweet smelling cedar and reli
1 CONC sh the secrecy, the aloneness. From this place I could se
1 CONC e a family across the street. I loved to watch and listen t
1 CONC o this boisterous group. Sometimes the wind blew and the ra
1 CONC in fell and I would huddle down inside my tiny kingdom lovi
1 CONC ng every breath of the crisp, wet air and every whiff of th
1 CONC e delicious smell of the cedar and rain and soil all blende
1 CONC d together.
1 CONT 
1 CONT I also discovered a bower inside the plum thicket at the ba
1 CONC ck of the lot. I could enter through a natural door forme
1 CONC d by the trunks of the trees and could advance a little far
1 CONC ther into a little room with ceiling and walls formed by th
1 CONC e tick leaves of the spindly trees and bushes. I stacked so
1 CONC me of the pebbles, which lay all about us and placing board
1 CONC s across them built shelves. On these shelves I placed my t
1 CONC reasures scrounged from here and there, a tin cup or two, b
1 CONC ooks, a bottle for a vase and flowers from the yard. Ther
1 CONC e was a large flat boulder there and when I draped my coa
1 CONC t over it I had my bed. In this playhouse I spent many soli
1 CONC tary hours playing with imaginary playmates telling storie
1 CONC s and reading to my imaginary children. Grandma must have g
1 CONC iven tacit permission because she never interrupted my play
1 CONC time there in my little "Green Mansion"
1 CONT 
1 CONT Looking back over the many years which have elapsed betwee
1 CONC n then and now I am grateful for those years with Grandma
1 CONC . Let me hasten to say that her good qualities and good dee
1 CONC ds far outweighed the negative ones, which I have told here
1 CONC . She was generous to her neighbors and quite tolerant of t
1 CONC heir weaknesses. There was a retarded woman in the neighbor
1 CONC hood that was lonely and came often to visit with Grandma
1 CONC . Grandma always had time for her and always sent her hom
1 CONC e loaded down with delicacies from the garden and the cella
1 CONC r. She tried to teach her how to keep a home and a garden
1 CONC , with little success I might add, but Grandma didn't giv
1 CONC e up and she was always kind. She often visited. Taking del
1 CONC icacies along to a family whose father had been kicked in t
1 CONC he head by a horse and who now lay incapacitated by injurie
1 CONC s to his brain. She sent me many times with chicken soup, m
1 CONC ashed potatoes or baked chicken to a neighbor suffering sto
1 CONC mach cancer. She seemed to have great sympathy for anyone w
1 CONC ho was sick or unfortunate and her concern took a very prac
1 CONC tical bent. I'll always remember her innate dignity and goo
1 CONC d manners, her clear-eyed and direct communication with oth
1 CONC ers. She believed in herself and demanded the same respec
1 CONC t from others. And she got it.
1 CONT 
1 CONT She was the best companion I had. The children in the tow
1 CONC n might have been unkind; I might have longed for friends m
1 CONC y own age. She didn't do anything about that but we certain
1 CONC ly had many companionable times together, interspersed as t
1 CONC hey were by the unfortunate rages, which I have described
1 CONC . For these outbursts I have long since forgiven her. I rea
1 CONC lize now, after years of study, that she suffered her own d
1 CONC emons, and was the one who regretted them most.
1 CONT 
1 CONT I treasure the memories of our days together. I remember th
1 CONC e many stories she told me. She was a talker and I was a go
1 CONC od child who listened with respect to my elders. Three time
1 CONC s a day we sat at a simple meal, properly served, properl
1 CONC y eaten, sharing the time and the food. I treasure the memo
1 CONC ry of the long evenings, the quiet rest times when she napp
1 CONC ed in the little rocking chair in the living room. Even i
1 CONC n the work, as we toiled side by side, there was companions
1 CONC hip.
1 CONT 
1 CONT She told me repeatedly about her very early days in England
1 CONC . Her mother, a widow, kept them alive by managing the Morm
1 CONC on Mission House and making lace. Grandma's two older broth
1 CONC ers were unable to find work after they joined the Mormon C
1 CONC hurch. Grandma had a twin who weighed over eight pounds a
1 CONC t birth while Grandma weighed less than two pounds. Unbelie
1 CONC vably the healthy twin caught measles and died before he wa
1 CONC s ten years old. Grandma never tired of telling how they ha
1 CONC d wrapped her in cotton because she was too tiny to dress
1 CONC . They had placed her in the warming oven in a cheese box a
1 CONC nd waited for her to die. She was fed from a bit of cloth d
1 CONC ipped in sugar water which was allowed to drip into her tin
1 CONC y mouth. "This child came to stay," said the missionaries w
1 CONC ho prayed with the family for her life.
1 CONT 
1 CONT And stay she did! She stayed to give life to and raise si
1 CONC x children. She stayed to influence for good the life of ma
1 CONC ny people, and she stayed to show us all the way to be tru
1 CONC e to our beliefs and to be responsible, hard-working member
1 CONC s of society. We her descendants owe her homage, and her
1 CONC e I pledge mine.
1 CONT 
1 CONT UNCLE JIM AND AUNT MARY
1 CONT 
1 CONT Uncle Jim and Aunt Mary were very much a part of living wit
1 CONC h Grandma. Uncle Jim was Grandma's youngest child - the on
1 CONC e who never left home. He had built his own roughhouse on h
1 CONC is property - a distance away - a house he never finished
1 CONC . It stood out there on the windswept prairie, unfinished w
1 CONC alls and floors, with exposed ceiling beams. Aunt Mary ha
1 CONC d bravely hung pretty curtains at the windows and put rug
1 CONC s on the plank floors. She had made many valiant efforts t
1 CONC o turn it into a cozy home; she succeeded to a surprising d
1 CONC egree.  It was a pleasant place, especially when it was war
1 CONC m and filled with the delicious aroma of baking bread and c
1 CONC ookies.
1 CONT 
1 CONT They never had children of their own, but in later life ado
1 CONC pted a relative's motherless child. (That is another long s
1 CONC tory not to be included here) The fact of Aunt Mary's inabi
1 CONC lity to bear children brought heartbreak to her and to Uncl
1 CONC e Jim. The theology of the church holds that children choos
1 CONC e their parents before they come to this earth. There was
1 CONC , therefore, always the unspoken question -- why did no unb
1 CONC orn spirits ever choose Aunt Mary and Uncle Jim to be thei
1 CONC r earthly parents? Grandma was not above this question an
1 CONC d concluding that Aunt Mary was not worthy of being a Mothe
1 CONC r in Israel.  Their adoption of the relatives' orphan seeme
1 CONC d to say that they had been saved by providential interfere
1 CONC nce to be able to care for this adopted child.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Grandma disliked Aunt Mary as much as she detested the Gard
1 CONC ners.  Double bitterness was hers because Aunt Lucy marrie
1 CONC d Aunt Mary's brother; thus bringing two detested Rhotons i
1 CONC nto the family.  Grandma never hesitated to be unkind to th
1 CONC em when they came to her home. I was always totally surpris
1 CONC ed at Aunt Mary's fortitude.  She seemed to be able to igno
1 CONC re the barbs and cuts from Grandma.  Once she told me tha
1 CONC t she paid no attention to Grandma than she did to the win
1 CONC d blowing.  She always came with Uncle Jim and carried of
1 CONC f the visits with aplomb and grace.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Uncle Jim farmed the two fields producing hay and grains
1 CONC .  In later years I understood that he went into truck farm
1 CONC ing, more particularly into raising melons and cucumbers fo
1 CONC r which he hired Apache Indians to do the stoop labor.  I
1 CONC n off-seasons Uncle Jim and Aunt Mary cooked for the schoo
1 CONC l children and managed several kitchens for the school dist
1 CONC rict.
1 CONT 
1 CONT He was, without doubt, the spoiled youngest child--the obje
1 CONC ct of much criticism from the rest of the family, largely b
1 CONC ecause he was not above taking advantage of his doting moth
1 CONC er.  She bought him a brand new Model A touring car, shin
1 CONC y black and to me, majestic as it came rattling up the hil
1 CONC l to Grandma's front gate.  After he had this prized vehicl
1 CONC e we often went for rides to my home, or to the other relat
1 CONC ives and friends in nearby towns, over the bridge to the po
1 CONC st office and store, and on Sundays to Church and Sunday Sc
1 CONC hool.  Grandma and I would sit on the little seat in the ba
1 CONC ck and away we would go, Grandma clutching her hat and I pu
1 CONC lling my coat tight against the wind.  I always thought th
1 CONC e car sounded like Mother's sewing machine.  I often doubte
1 CONC d that this funny car could climb the hills or come out o
1 CONC f the river beds and gullies that were the ever-present fea
1 CONC tures of the roads in that country at that time.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Uncle Jim inherited all the property because his siblings f
1 CONC elt a debt of gratitude to him for the care he had given Gr
1 CONC andma.  And well they should.  Much later, after I was marr
1 CONC ied, we always took Mother to visit Uncle Jim and Aunt Mary
1 CONC .  It was a great pleasure to find them in their new house
1 CONC , which they had built next to her old home in town.  It wa
1 CONC s a far cry from the old unfinished cabin out on the plain
1 CONC .  I, as well as anyone, knew about the years that he had b
1 CONC een her helper.  He had earned it well.  For many years har
1 CONC dly a day passed that he didn't come to see her.  He brough
1 CONC t wagonloads of wood and kept cribs filled with wheat and c
1 CONC orn for the chickens and the pigs and hay for the cow.  H
1 CONC e did most of the heavy work: picking the fruit, plowing th
1 CONC e garden, repairing the roof, butchering the pigs, and repa
1 CONC iring the fences.
1 CONT 
1 CONT  When she had infrequent "sick spells" I was sent to walk t
1 CONC he long road to his house, even in the night, to tell him t
1 CONC hat she was sick and that he should come at once.  He alway
1 CONC s came promptly and sat by her side, brewed her a bit of te
1 CONC a, wrapped her up warmly all the time speaking gently and s
1 CONC oothingly to her--the very picture of solicitude.  She spen
1 CONC t her last days in his home.  He had brought her there to n
1 CONC urse her through a prolonged "sick spell", and she was neve
1 CONC r able to return home.  I was there when she died surrounde
1 CONC d by her children and some of her grandchildren.  Aunt Luc
1 CONC y and I pulled the sheet over her face and stood in silen
1 CONC t tribute to this little woman who had at last "given up th
1 CONC e ghost" and gone to eternity we hoped to collect her rewar
1 CONC ds.
1 CONT 
1 CONT  I am compelled to say that both Uncle Jim and Aunt Mary we
1 CONC re always kind to me.  They never criticized.  They didn'
1 CONC t know much about the needs of a young girl, but, at least
1 CONC , they listened and asked questions.  They always asked abo
1 CONC ut warm coats and good shoes and lessons.  They smiled appr
1 CONC ovingly at me and said friendly things.  Their visits wer
1 CONC e anticipated and welcomed by a little Waife---me.

1 CONC WILLIAM ALBERT BEEBE 
1 CONT Born 9 Jun 1813, Greenvile, Mass.
1 CONT Died 21 Dec. 1884, St. George UT.
1 CONT 
1 CONT Grandfather of Fay Ivan Gardner
1 CONT 
1 CONT The first members of the Beebe clan to come to America wer
1 CONC e the descendants of John Beebe, born in Broughton, Northam
1 CONC pshire, England, in 1577. This brave pilgrim died on boar
1 CONC d a ship bound for America on May 18, 1650 and was buried a
1 CONC t sea. Those of his children who survived establish themsel
1 CONC ves in New York.
1 CONT William Albert was born to John and Lydia French Beebe on J
1 CONC une 9, 1813 at Greenville, Green, New York.  His father die
1 CONC d October 2, 1820 in Junius, Seneca, New York, when Willia
1 CONC m was barely seven years old.
1 CONT Little is known of William's activities until on August 13
1 CONC , 1833 when he joined the Mormon Church at the age of 20. I
1 CONC n 1835 he married Louise Newton, daughter of Philo and Loui
1 CONC sa Brooks Newton. Their first child, Harriet Mariah, from w
1 CONC hom the GARDNERS are descendants, was born February 21, 183
1 CONC 6, in Milo, Yates, New York. Shortly thereafter their nex
1 CONC t three children were born: Laura in Hanover, Leroy and Wil
1 CONC liam in Sheridan.
1 CONT Around 1843 the family moved again, this time to Evans, Eri
1 CONC e, New York, and it was there in the township of Brant tha
1 CONC t William was ordained an Elder at a church conference hel
1 CONC d in 1843. He was called to preside over the branch of th
1 CONC e church in that area.
1 CONT In the fall of 1844, the Beebes moved to Nauvoo in order t
1 CONC o join the main body of Saints after the death of the Proph
1 CONC et Joseph Smith. On June 21, 1845, W.A. and Louisa receive
1 CONC d their patriarchal blessings from Wiilliam Smith. In thi
1 CONC s blessing William was told, "The gifts of Wisdom and knowl
1 CONC edge are thine, and the discerning of spirits. None shall h
1 CONC ave power to deceive thee by their cunning craft, for i
1 CONC n a most marvelous manner hast thou enjoyed the gifts of th
1 CONC e spirit in times that are past. The wicked acts of men hav
1 CONC e been known to thine understanding from which thou hast be
1 CONC en delivered from their devices to destroy thee. If faithfu
1 CONC l and true, this conquest shall be thine common lot and fo
1 CONC r thy comfort thou shall inherit greater wisdom and underst
1 CONC and greater mysteries even as Paul of old." In a second pat
1 CONC riarchal blessing given by Patriarch John Smith, William wa
1 CONC s also promised that "Thy posterity shall be many and shal
1 CONC l be esteemed as the excellent of the earth. Thy name shal
1 CONC l be honorable to all the earth and to all generations."
1 CONT While in Nauvoo, William received his endowments and was se
1 CONC aled to Louisa on January 7, 1846. By the fall, life in Nau
1 CONC voo had become intolerable and the mobs finally drove the B
1 CONC eebes from the city. The Beebes lived with seven other fami
1 CONC lies, and often had to live on scraps of food left behind b
1 CONC y the soldiers. This was a very difficult time for the Sain
1 CONC ts.
1 CONT The family crossed Iowa to Winter Quarters and remained the
1 CONC re until 1847. They were then able to cross back over the M
1 CONC issouri River and settle in Pottawatomie Co. Iowa. The Sain
1 CONC ts petitioned Iowa for the right to establish a county gove
1 CONC rnment there and to build a post office. It is not clear i
1 CONC f they were ever given permission.
1 CONT Finally, in 1852, W.A. and his family completed the arduou
1 CONC s t rip across the plains and joined the other pioneers alr
1 CONC eady in the Salt Lake valley. They purchased twenty acres o
1 CONC f land in the SugarHouse area and W.A. opened a blacksmit
1 CONC h shop. On July 10, 1853, W.A. married a second wife, Sara
1 CONC h Elizabeth Luce, daughter of Stephen A. and Mary Wheller L
1 CONC uce. The next year he was asked by the brethren to go to Og
1 CONC den and open a blacksmith shop there. From Ogden the famil
1 CONC y moved to Payson, Utah where W.A., his oldest son and a Mr
1 CONC . Sabin established the first nail factory in Utah. On Apri
1 CONC l 8, 1857, W.A. was sealed to his third wife, Clara Emma Lu
1 CONC ce a younger sister of Sarah Elizabeth. Two other women wh
1 CONC o had died without marrying were also sealed to him at thi
1 CONC s time.
1 CONT At the October 1862 Conference, W.A. was called, along wit
1 CONC h two hundred other missionaries, to the "cotton mission" o
1 CONC f southern Utah. President Heber C. Kimball met with the mi
1 CONC ssionaries and told them that this call was a voluntary one
1 CONC , but that they had been selected because of their leadersh
1 CONC ip abilities and because the Church leadership wanted men a
1 CONC nd women to go that could be relied upon.
1 CONT Again, W.A. and his families faced the prospect of leavin
1 CONC g behind an established business and their home to face unk
1 CONC nown trials and hardships. Louisa and Sarah Elizabeth wer
1 CONC e ready and willing to go, but Clara decided to remain in t
1 CONC he north. She was expecting her first child and was not u
1 CONC p to facing the hardships in this new wilderness. Louisa ha
1 CONC d just given birth to her twelfth child at the time. Clar
1 CONC a never came south and later divorced W.A., and married a m
1 CONC an named Marsh.
1 CONT When they got to "Dixie" in 1863, they located on the Rio V
1 CONC irgin, which later became know as Virgin City, and lived i
1 CONC n a tent while they built their two-roomed timber and log h
1 CONC ouse. However, the tent life proved too much for Louisa, an
1 CONC d she and some of her children returned to the north. Sara
1 CONC h Elizabeth, five of her children and some of the married s
1 CONC ons remained with W.A.
1 CONT W.A.  Apparently had a good education, which made him an in
1 CONC valuable member of the community. Besides his work as a bla
1 CONC cksmith, he also had jobs teaching school and being justic
1 CONC e of the Peace. He claimed his only textbooks to be the Bib
1 CONC le, the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, Pilgrim's P
1 CONC rogress and the Territorial Laws of Utah.
1 CONT The settlers' battle with the treacherous Rio Virgin is a s
1 CONC tory of courage and disappointment. The life giving water o
1 CONC f the creek would suddenly become a destructive flood and t
1 CONC he year's hard work would be swept away. W.A.  Spent twelv
1 CONC e years trying to eke a living from this difficult area an
1 CONC d barely getting by. He was again called to go help settl
1 CONC e a new area around Kanab, Kane County, Utah.
1 CONT The family found what seemed to be a perfect site for thei
1 CONC r home and small farm a few miles north of Kanab in a beaut
1 CONC iful canyon. There were three small lakes on the land, an
1 CONC d the ground was level and fertile. They built a small, bu
1 CONC t crude house, and had a few chickens, a cow and a couple o
1 CONC f pigs. They were content and feeling quite optimistic.
1 CONT W.A.  Now 61 years old, returned to teaching school, an end
1 CONC eavor he always liked. He was respected and revered by th
1 CONC e community and looked to as a leader. Several of the olde
1 CONC r children began to marry and leave home, and life took o
1 CONC n a peace and quiet that the family had seldom known. But l
1 CONC ife was not to become too comfortable. Young Will, who wa
1 CONC s becoming a good support to his now aging parents, died un
1 CONC expectedly. The family decided to spend the winter in St. G
1 CONC eorge where they did temple work. They were able to retur
1 CONC n to Kanab in the spring, renewed and ready to face life ag
1 CONC ain.
1 CONT W.A. planted crops, rebuilt their livestock and prepared fo
1 CONC r a return to the peaceful life they were becoming accustom
1 CONC ed to. W.A. and one of his sons left for a few weeks to hau
1 CONC l lumber to build an addition to their small home. One nigh
1 CONC t while they were gone, the creek rose and became a roarin
1 CONC g flood. Sarah Elizabeth could do little more than save her
1 CONC self and the children. Their crops, pigs, chickens, and eve
1 CONC n the cow were washed down the canyon.
1 CONT When W.A. returned home, he found nothing -- no home, no cr
1 CONC ops, no chance for making a livelihood. But, he refused t
1 CONC o give up, and in the early spring of 1884, he took Sarah E
1 CONC lizabeth and the smaller children, and moved to Circleville
1 CONC , in Piute Co. He was able to secure a cash-paying job fo
1 CONC r his son Gilbert carrying mail from Kanab to Schonnensburg
1 CONC . A process which required that the mail be let down a 100
1 CONC 0 ft. drop by rope, picked up by the Schonnensburg carrier
1 CONC , who then hooked the Kanab mail to the rope, allowing Gilb
1 CONC ert to pull it back up. For this Gilbert was paid $30.00 pe
1 CONC r month which, he intended to send the bulk of to W.A. an
1 CONC d the family until the new crops could be harvested.
1 CONT The Beebe family was able to find a one-room house in Circl
1 CONC eville where W.A. left his wife and children while he retur
1 CONC ned to Kanab to fetch the remainder of their property. Sara
1 CONC h Elizabeth took in a boarder, a seemingly harmless old lad
1 CONC y, in order to add to the family's meager income. W.A.'s tr
1 CONC ip took a month and when he returned he found that the ne
1 CONC w house had been burned to the ground. The "harmless" old l
1 CONC ady had one night set fire to the curtains around Sarah's a
1 CONC bed, and although the house and furnishings were destroyed
1 CONC , none of the family was harmed.
1 CONT Despite all these setbacks, W.A. persevered. They found ano
1 CONC ther small house to move into, and with the goods W.A. ha
1 CONC d brought from Kanab, and the gifts from kind friends and n
1 CONC eighbors, they were able to resume housekeeping in Circlevi
1 CONC lle.
1 CONT W.A. cleared eight acres of brush, and plowed and sowed whe
1 CONC at. After weeks of tender care, the wheat
