During the depression, he hired German immigrants to dig trenches u p t o 8 feet deep to put the tile in. Lloyd then saw his alkaline soil be com e productive. He had one of the first tractors in the valley, also on e o f the first beet toppers.
He built three nice homes on his farm during his married life. Five chil d ren were born to Lloyd and Adrienne—four boys and 1 girl.

Notes:

ADRIENNE WOOLLEY BECKSTEAD
I was born at Preston, Franklin County, Idaho, on February 6, 1897. My p a rents, Ezra Foss Woolley and Grace Hemenway were very good people. The y w ere truthful, kind, and religious. My mother was very modest and chas te . We never heard a vulgar story in our home. My parents had just move d fr om Kanab, Utah, when I was born. My father had been called to Presto n t o teach school in the old Oneida Stake Academy. He was glad for thi s cal l because he had just gone through three years of drought in the Ka nab Co unty and had to sell out his brand for a very small amount.
At the time of my birth, Preston was a very small village. A square, a b l ock each way contained the old Oneida Academy. The high school and Jeff er son school (Jr. high) have been added. We lived kitty corner (the corn e r of 2nd East) from the swamp, which was north of the Academy. The swa m p was later filled in to become the football stadium. At that early ti m e the Academy square was a child’s paradise. A high fence surrounded i t ; a flat board along the top made it possible to walk along the fence w a y up in the air. We felt very adventurous. Within the square ran a litt l e stream. Wild flowers, Sweet Williams, Buttercups, Sego Lilies, and Bl u e Bells grew there. We would gather our treasures and take them home t o f ill our mother’s cups and glasses. The scent of flowers still bring s bac k many a happy thought.
My family consisted of my parents, four sisters, and one brother. My fat h er was a bright, studious man with a strong sense of honor and a good s en se of humor. He never ceased to study, and was interested in neighbors , f riends, relatives, religion, and politics. His word was his bond. I f I co uld ever get him to promise me something, I knew it was mine. He n ever br oke his promise to me in his life. He read for information and pl easure . I have seen him laugh and chuckle aloud while reading Alice in W onderla nd. I have also seen him cry until the tears ran down his cheek s at somet hing sad in his story. He died strong in the faith of the gosp el.
We lived next door to the Joseph S. Geddes family. There was just a f e nce separating our homes and all Vera Geddes and I had to do was clim b th rough a fence to get together. Our pasture was a block north (kitty- corne red) from where the Geddes family later built their brick home. We' d tak e our cows from the Matthias Cowley barn over there to pasture. Tha t's th e corner on Second East and Oneida, where Dr. M. O. Merrill lived . At th e turn of the century there was a big open field on that corner , and that 's where father pastured our cows."
My mother came from a very cultured family. Her father was Luther Single t on Hemenway, and her mother was a very strict Englishwoman, Harriet Hod gs on.
My sister Grace was a very beautiful girl, a schoolteacher, and a regist e red nurse. She taught me many things about keeping my children health y an d caring for them when they were ill. She assisted at the birth of m y son , Lloyd. She married the son of our neighbor--Joseph A. Geddes. H e becam e the principal of the Oneida Stake Academy where I went to schoo l.
My second sister, Leah, was always full of love for children and charita b le deeds for everyone who needed her. She was a wonderful seamstress. S h e went blind at about the age of 65 and was blind for the last ten yea r s of her life. (Unfortunately, she married a polygamist apostate whic h sa ddened the family.)
My sister, Effie, was an ardent Democrat and couldn’t see much good in a n y Republican except me. She was very orderly, neat, and clean to a faul t , almost. She was a great reader and read all the seven volumes of th e hi story of the church. She has read all the Standard Works of the chur ch ma ny times; she also has ready many histories of nations, books on ps ycholo gy, sociology, novels, etc.
My sister, Thelma, was very idealistic, very honest, clean, and uprigh t . She was very valiant in her testimony of the gospel. She died at th e ag e of 45, leaving three motherless, and to all intents, fatherless ch ildre n.
My brother, Ezra, who it took many years to grow out of the spoiling giv e n him by a worshipping mother and father and five sisters who thought t h e Lord had really done something when He sent them a boy, did very wel l o n a farm in Boise Valley. He was very happy in the latter part of hi s lif e.
It seems to me that I must have spent a lot of my very young life unde r t he table. I have been told many times by my mother that the minute co mpan y came I would run and crawl under the table to hide. As Father wa s a sch oolteacher, and I had three very popular older sisters, we natura lly ha d a lot of company; so hence, I spent a lot of time under the tabl e.
I remember having wonderful playmates as I grew up—very nice, clean gir l s who turned out to be good, clean women—Jennie and Marta Nelson, Edn a Pa cker Stokes, Ann Thomas, Vera Geddes Merrill, Lucia Thomander Nelson , Vur vian Daines Daniels. They all had a hand in my growing up. They al l had h igh standards and I tried to live up to them.
I remember a summer day spent with the Primary officers of the 1st war d . I was about nine years old. Sister Agnes Thomas and her officers plan ne d a day in the canyon. She invited her daughter Gwen and me to go. W e dro ve to Cub River in a white top buggy. It was a big adventure. The w omen c ared for the horses and the lunch. We started early in the mornin g so w e could have lots of time to wade in the river and listen to its s ound . I can remember the lovely canyon smell that began just after we pa sse d the old power house.
Cub River was not so lived in then as it is now. Just a few small hous e s were found along the valley. The road was narrow and rutted. We coul d s mell good black dirt when we came to a mud puddle. Everyone must “pil e ou t” to see how deep the mud was. We couldn’t get the horses stuck!
When we returned from this happy day, we were greeted with the news th a t our neighbor boy, Rudolph Petersen, had been struck by lightening an d k illed. Everyone said that he had been called to go prepare a home fo r hi s mother to come to in heaven. This thought comforted me a lot.
I remember a little about polygamy at our house. The church was teachi n g against the practice of polygamy because it was after the manifesto . Ho wever, Father’s cousin, Brother Matthias Cowley, would not fall in l ine . Father had always loved this older cousin, and our families had bee n ve ry close. Therefore, Father had it in his mind to join the polygamis ts. O ne day, when he was postmaster, he put an apple in Miss Annie Frost ’s mai lbox. She was teaching at the academy. Mother removed the apple fr om th e box, and Miss Frost married the music teacher, Brother Ottie.
I remember Brother Cowley coming to our place to visit. When it was ti m e for him to go, Mother went outside to check to see if it was safe fo r h im to go over to his 2nd wife’s place. The next day Father drove hi m ove r to Cache Junction to board the train so he wouldn’t have to be se en i n Preston. His daughter Laura Cowley Brossard and I went along in th e whi te top for the ride.
I remember being out on a hay farm with my father helping load hay. Th e s un beat down and I longed for a cold drink. After the hay was loaded , I w ent across the street to a small log cabin with yellow roses growin g to g et a drink. A fine old music teacher and his family lived there. H e had s uch a kind face; maybe that is why I have had such a tender spo t in my he art for school teachers—that and the fact that my father was o ne. My olde st son, Lloyd Jr. is a fine music teacher, and I love him fo r it .
My father was postmaster when I was about six. When he was called on a m i ssion to the New England States, my mother was given the postmaster jo b . He had the habit of gathering all the children in the neighborhood ab ou t him in the evening and telling us stories. I remember so much for be in g only six! Father told me all the Bible stories from Adam through th e Ol d Testament in order. I never forgot the order those stories were in .
When I was about thirteen, we moved to a ranch in Cub River. We move d i n the spring. I can still hear the rushing of the river, swollen wit h th e fast melting snow. Old Plum was what we called the ranch because o f th e many plum trees growing there and also because we thought the ranc h wa s going to be a “plum” in our lap. For about three years we rode hor ses , walked about the hills, fished, hunted wild chickens, and milked co ws . We attended church a lot. There was no other recreation except an oc cas ional dance. The things I remember with tenderest feelings of the ran ch a re the heavily scented wild roses. They grew along the streams and p aths— large, deep pink ones. We learned they didn’t last long in the hous e; the y were nicest out where they grew. We had company all the summer s through . I wonder now what Mother thought about it .
While at Cub River I acted as secretary to the Sunday School and prima r y teacher with Annie Neff Merrill as president. I was a counselor in t h e Mutual with Vurvian Daniels as president. I attended high school at t h e old Oneida Academy from 1915 to 1917. The next year I attended the Un iv ersity of Utah. I lived with my sister Leah and her husband, Laurenc e Sim mons. They were very good to me. I can remember walking down from t he Uni versity to 1st avenue along D street when the lilacs were in bloom . Sal t Lake had many beautiful lilacs at that time. My sister Grace ha d lovel y lilacs at her home, and she gave me starts to plant on my thre e homes . They are still blooming every year.
In the fall of 1918, September 26th, I married Lloyd Neeley Beckstea d i n the Salt Lake Temple. We built a home on a forty acre piece of grou nd h is father Amasa sold us. Later we bought the old homestead from hi s fathe r. We have built two nice brick homes on it. We have five, everyo ne alway s says, wonderful children—Shirley, Lloyd Jr., Spencer W., Davi d W., an d Anthony W.
I have always been active in church work. It has sustained me, educate d m e, helped me raise the children, and been the guiding light of my lif e . I have taught in Primary, Sunday School, Genealogical Organization, s er ved on the Relief Society and Primary Stake Boards. I have taught in a l l of the departments of the Relief Society, worked in the presidency o f t he Mutual and twice in the Relief Society presidency. I have worked i n th e Farm Bureau and enjoyed it very much. I learned a lot when I was p resid ent of the high school PTA. I taught the lessons in Daughters of th e Uta h Pioneers in the Syringa Camp for a long time. I served in other p ositio ns there—Vice Captain, Captain, etc. Now I belong to Willow Cree k Camp ; I have been the Vice Captain and Captain and other positions i n this ca mp also. I belong to a fine study group—the Preston Study Group .
At present, age 65, I am taking a class in how to make a Family Group Sh e et and allied subjects. Our teachers are two ladies so very beautiful t ha t the sight of them helps keep me revived the last half hour of this t hre e-hour class. I have enjoyed this peek into research for our dead an d hop e to keep up my interest in it. I am grateful to the Bishop for ask ing m e to take this class.
In 1962, when we were 65, Lloyd and I were called on a six-month missi o n to the Central States Mission. We were sent to Emporia, Kansas. We st ud ied hard to learn the discussions. Lloyd would wake up really early an d b e reciting them to himself when I would wake up. We tried to be goo d peop le and set a good example in the Emporia Branch. We made lasting f riends . It enriched our lives. My patriarchal blessing says that I woul d go o n a mission and there would be those who would believe my testimon y. Thi s was fulfilled at this time. David and Pauline looked after the f arm whi le we were gone.
In 1968, on our 50th wedding anniversary, David and Pauline held an op e n house for us. It was really nice. Pauline’s mother and her sister Bet t y helped a lot to put it over. Many old and dear friends and new ones c am e. Tony flew in from California. I was very happy when he came in th e doo r. The other children and their families were here.
In November of 1968, I had my hip operated on. It was a very serious ope r ation. Again, in 1973, I had the same operation. Lloyd took care of m e wi th love and patience during each sickness. He visited every day wit h me a t the hospital and took good care of me after I got home. He showe d tha t he really loved me.
Lloyd loved his land and cattle and loved to raise a good crop. When h e w as about 73, he developed heart trouble. It was hard for him to slo w down ; in fact, he never did. He died at home in August of 1974 fro m a heart a ttack.
I still live on the farm near David and Pauline. All my children are tho u ghtful of me; I have spent a lot of time with Spencer and Ann and fami l y and Tony and DeAnn and family. Adrienne and Russell invite me to liv e w ith them every now and then.
I am still the Spiritual Living teacher in Relief Society.
Comments - Adrienne passed away in the Ogden Hospital after another hi p o peration on March 18, 1982. She had been living with Tony and DeAnn a t th e time. She was 85 years old. Her great grandson, David Justin Becks tead , was born on her birthday a month before she died. She was very ple ase d about it. Adrienne was very staunch in her testimony of the gospel . Sh e began to lose her eyesight in her later years, but she listened t o chur ch tapes and tied baby quilts by feeling with a little cardboard s quare . She gave many of these quilts to her grandkids who greatly apprec iate d them. She was a valiant, sweet woman whom her family loved.

Notes:

After Sarah Ellen's family was converted to The Church of Jesus Chris t o f Latter-day Saints they made plans to sail for America and join th e Sain ts in Zion. Sarah's parents, William (33 or 34) and Sarah Ann Barl ow Asht on (33), and their children, Betsy (11), Sarah Ellen (7), Mary (4 ), and E lizabeth Ann (17 months), left Liverpool, England, in May 1856 o n the shi p Horizon. The family left behind in England the grave of anoth er littl e daughter, Esther, who had died in infancy.

Sorrow found this family again on July 2, 1856, as the Horizon was dock e d at Boston and little Elizabeth died. Heartbroken, the Ashton's left b eh ind another daughter's grave and traveled to Iowa City, Iowa, mostly b y r ail. Here they spent three weeks, finishing handcarts and tents. Th e Mart in Company arrived at their major outfitting camp in Florence, Neb raska , on the 22nd of August, and spent three days there gathering suppl ies an d cattle and preparing to cross the 1,000 miles of plains and moun tains b etween there and the Salt Lake Valley. Sarah's family had success fully wa lked and pulled their handcart about 300 miles already.

On the 26th of August, the day after the Martin Co. left Florence, anoth e r baby girl was born to the Ashton family. They named her Sarah Ann, af te r her mother. The mother died in childbirth and 16 days later on Septe mbe r 11th, the new baby, Sarah Ann, also died.

Sarah Ellen's father carried on for four more weeks, caring for his thr e e motherless daughters as best he could. When the company reached Ft. L ar amie on Oct. 9, William enlisted in the U.S. Army and left his three l itt le girls with the Martin Company to continue to Utah. At this time th e da ys were still warm, but the nights were cold. Expected provisions a t Ft . Laramie were in short supply and so food rations were cut, the cap tain s not knowing when promised help from Salt Lake would reach them. Pe rhap s William felt this would be the best way for him to earn some mone y to s end to provide for his daughters. It was not uncommon in those tim es fo r a father to turn the care of his little children over to others w hen th e mother had died. It is not known how long William remained in mi litar y service, but at some point he returned to England.

The Saints cared for the little girls as well as they could. They all su f fered greatly from food shortages and the lack of warm clothing. The se ve re weather began at the last crossing of the N. Platte River (near pre sen t day Casper, Wyoming) on the 19th of October. The Martin Company bec am e stranded near there for over a week before they were finally locate d b y the rescue party from Salt Lake. Sarah Ellen's oldest sister, Betsy , wa s only 11 years old, but surely must have felt great responsibilit y towar d her younger sisters. It finally proved too much for her and sh e joine d her mother and other sisters in death. This left Sarah and he r sister , Mary, to continue on to the Salt Lake Valley. Sarah Ellen los t her sigh t in one eye during this journey. The company finally arrive d in the Vall ey on November 30, 1856. They were met by Saints who took t hem in to thei r various homes and cared for them. At some point Mary an d Sarah foun d a home with the Hatfield family in Farmington, Utah. At th e age of 12 , Sarah was living with the Joseph Carlisle family and workin g for them a s a domestic.

Sarah married Thomas W. Beckstead when she was 15. Sarah and Thomas ha d 1 0 children, four of whom died as infants. Mary was possibly living wi th t hem in S. Jordan, as she later married Isaac Wardle who had lived wi th an d worked for Thomas Beckstead's father, Alex Beckstead, Sr .

Isaac Wardle had also been with the Martin Handcart Company. He was mu c h older than Mary, but may have come to know the Ashton family on thei r j ourney. Mary and Isaac had one son who they named William Ashton Ward le , perhaps after Mary's father. Mary only lived for four hours after he r s on was born.

Sarah devoted her life to her children, her husband, and her church. I n 1 887, the Beckstead family moved to Whitney, Idaho, to help settle tha t ar ea. Sarah did not let her handicap stand in her way. She churned but ter , and sold eggs and also worked as a midwife, insisting that her chil dre n receive a good education. It was during these first years in Idah o tha t a man by the name of Clark came to Sarah's home with a copy of th e Mill ennial Star which contained an inquiry concerning anyone who migh t know o f relatives of William Ashton, pauper, in England, who had emigr ated to A merica previously and left his children on the plains. Sarah El len recogn ized this man as her father and sent passage money to Englan d for him t o come and join her family. Sarah's father accepted her invit ation and Sa rah and Thomas cared for William until his death. He is buri ed in the Whi tney cemetery a short distance from their grave sites.

Sarah Ellen lived a good life helping the sick and needy. Surely, she h a d learned to trust in God and be forgiving. She lived to be 63 years ol d . One of her granddaughters wrote of her: "[She made] a tremendous impr es sion on me when I was a little girl. I used to stay with her. She wa s s o clean, neat and orderly - always had her windows filled with bloomi ng p lants, even in the winter time, and carefully covered them with pape r eac h night so they would not freeze. She was a wonderful cook and I ca n stil l remember the good bread, butter and jam she made. Her cellar sme lled wo nderful, where she stored everything and kept pans of milk to b e skimme d of thick heavy cream used to make butter.... I've often wonder ed what h appened to the exquisite samplers grandmother made as a gir l - her apron s always had handwork across the bottoms... I stayed with h er many time s while I attended the Whitney school. This is where she ha d all the fami ly together to a dinner a few weeks before her death. He r flower garden o n the old place was so lovely to me. I well remember th e Sweet Williams , pansies and old-fashioned flowers she had growing ther e. She would sen d me with a cooked chicken and flowers to our mother whe n she was in be d with the birth of a child. She has always stayed in m y memory for her f ine qualities and goodness."
