My grandparents, John and Susan Stott were born in Soyland, Yorkshire, E n gland. My grandfather was born July 19, 1769 and his wife about 1777. T he y were baptized into the L.D.S. Church, about 1843 but never left Engl and . My father was born April 16, 1803 and my mother, Sarah Lees, Augus t 22 , 1800.
Mother died before we left, March 10, 1847 and was buried, in the Rishwo r th Chapel Ward, We left Liverpool the same summer. My father, William S to tt, my brother-in-law, his wife, my sister Hannah Lees, their child ab ou t one year old, named Sarah, my brother William Henry, my sister, Emm a an d myself, which totaled seven.
We sailed in a sail ship named "Berlin'!. When out at sea two weeks th e w ind ceased blowing and we were in a dead calm, Just at this time a di seas e struck us which was much like the Cholera and in twenty-one days , forty -three of the ships passen-gers died and were cast into the sea . The win d began to blow again and in six weeks and four days from the t ime we lef t Liver-pool we landed in New Orleans. In three days we were o n the mov e again going up the Mississippi River to Saint Louis where w e remained u ntil the next spring. My father obtained work as a mechani c for nine doll ars per week and I worked for two dollars a week.
The next spring we went up the Missouri to the state of Iowa, and locat e d about eight or ten miles south of Kanesville. Father bought two fin e co ws for $2.09 each. He also bought a fifteen-acre farm from which w e cut s ufficient wild hay to last until the next spring. Father and Will iam the n returned to St. Louis for employment, that they might get mone y enoug h to con-tinue our journey. They worked there until the spring o f 1852, a nd then returned home, in Iowa, Bringing with them two wag¬on s and five y oke of cattle and one team of horses and provisions that w e might continu e our journey. We sold our farm and left there with six y oke of cattle an d one team of horses. We crossed the river on a flat boa t a few miles bel ow the present city of Omaha, Nebraska. Where a compan y of forty wagons w as organized with a captain over the whole group an d a sub-captain over e ach ten wagons.
We were then in a wild country where we had to contend with the Indian s a nd the buffalo. We would travel from morning until in the afternoon , an d then camp early enough so we could heard our cattle and let them g e t a good feed before dark, for we would have to stake them with a shor t r ope within our circle of wagons at night, In the morning we would aga in l et them have a good feed before starting,
Shortly after we left Hyland Grove we crossed the Missouri River on a fl a t boat, The first day out from there one of the drivers did or said som et hing which displeased the captain so the captain would not let him g o wit h us and sent him back Ills wagon was with the first ten wa„:>ns o r in th e first sub-company and father's wagon was back in the third sub- compan y of ten. The captain came back and asked if I would drive this wa gon. Fa ther left it up to me and so I went and drove the wagon.
The next river we crossed was the Elk Horn and then the Lewfork, whic h w e crossed the same day, We continued our jour-ney over rough roads wh ic h the pioneers before us made and all the time we were guarding agains t I ndians and buffalo,
When we were about six or seven hundred miles on the way across the plai n s we divided into four companies--ten wagons in each company, and putti n g one day’s drive between each small company, In this way we travele d o n to Salt Lake City, and into Provo, The captain, whose name was Isaa c Bu llock, did not wish to stay in Salt Lake City, I was still driving h is te am and so went on with them and stayed with them for one week, expe ctin g my folks to come, They did not come so I returned to Salt Lake Cit y alo ne and on foot to find them. A mile or two on my way a man trottin g alon g with a light wagon and a horse team, asked me to ride with him w hic h I gladly did. We trotted along until sundown and arrived at Millcre ek o n the outskirts of Salt Lake City. A family of newly arrived immigra nts w hich was camped there asked me to stay with them over night and I d id. Af ter breakfast the next morning I resumed the task of finding my fo lks. Tr aveling on to what is now known as South Temple Street; I turne d west an d in a short distance met a man coming to the east. He stoppe d and aske d me if I was hunting my folks and I told him I was. He pointe d to the we st and said "Do you see those wagons yonder," I answered, "Ye s sir." He s aid, "You will find your folks there." I went to the wagon s and found the m just as he had said. My people knew nothing of him an d he had not bee n there. I would judge him to be a man from the spirit w orld.
In a few days we started south to a small town called Fillmore, a town 1 5 0 miles south of Salt Lake City. The next sum¬mer the Indian trouble be ga n. They began stealing cattle and killing men that were unprotected.
About this time a surveyor named Gunnison, with his party came in from t h e East. They were surveying for a railroad. They followed the main cour s e of the Sevier River down to Deseret which is a little town about for t y miles west of Fillmore. A short distance up the river from Deseret w a s a company of soldiers. These soldiers were under a captain named Morr is . Ten of these soldiers went with this surveying party as guards.
This party made their camp in the edge of some thick willows. At night t h e Indians came upon them silently and crawled up as close to the cam p a s they could without being heard. The soldiers and surveyors cooked b reak fast just at daylight and were all around the table eating when th e India ns broke in on them yelling and hooting and shooting at them wit h a few g uns which they owned and also their bows and arrows.
They took the party so much by surprise that they were confused and di d n ot know what to do. Their guns were not right at hand and consequentl y th e party was all killed excepting one man. He made his way back to Mo rris' s camp and told of the disaster which had come to these men. Morris , wit h his soldiers, went down next day and about night found their rema ins. H e was afraid to go back in the night for fear of Indians. Conseque ntly th ey stayed there all night and at day break started back to camp . Commande r Morris sent a rider to Salt Lake City to tell the Governor , Brigham You ng. Young then sent a message to Fillmore to Henry Standage , the captai n of the Militia, who in turn called a party of men to go t o the scene o f the massacre and gather up their remains and bury them . I was one of th e company called. Morris sent the soldiers with the com pany. He took me b y the hand and said "Good-by" for he never expected t o see me again. So w e went to the scene of the massacre and were immedia tely surrounded by th e Indians. They were armed with guns and bows and a rrows, ready for fight . We were also well armed. The Indians circled aro und us yelling and runn ing. This continued for a short time and then the y left us, very likely t hinking that our chances were about as great a s theirs. We continued gath ering up the remains and burying them.
We then turned our attention to farming but the Indian troubles grew gre a ter. All were stealing cattle and horses and were killing men at ever y op portunity. This condition lasted from 1854 until about 1864 when th e Indi an war chiefs began to die off and peace came at last.
At this time I met Sarah Jane Holder and we were married in 1863. She w a s born in Crofton, Wakefield, England, in 1846. Her folks, who left Eng la nd with her, were practically all killed by the terrible sickness call e d "mountain fever". The re¬mainder who stayed in England was frightene d b y this calamity; therefore they never came over to this country.
In 1864, I was called to go back to the Missouri River after Mormon immi g rants. Our company was composed of sixty wagons with eight heed of oxe n t o the wagon which made a total of four hundred eighty head of cattl e in t he company, My calling in the company with three others was the ni ght her ding of these cattle. It was a hard task and I slept but very lit tle nigh t or day for six weeks. It was also a year of unusual high water . Every c reek and river was flooded. We had to swim our cattle and wagon s in cross ing the South Platt River. When we were on our journey about s ix hundre d miles, we came to a sec¬tion of country of much rain at tha t season o f the year, We had rain and thunder storms every night for tw o weeks or m ore, We journeyed on and finally reached the Missouri River . The Mormon i mmigrates was there ready to be loaded.. We started back f or Utah but: th e Indiana were very troublesome. A small company of thre e wagons four mul es to each wagon bound for Oregon, traveled with us unt il we passed For t Leavenworth, then they left us as we were traveling to o slow for them . But in two days we came upon the place where the Indian s had killed the m all and set fire to their wagons and stolen their mule s. At this time t he country was being settled to some extent. Men were c oming out and taki ng up ranches and building homes. Indians were killin g them and setting f ire to their homes and stealing their belonging. A s we were traveling alo ng at night we could see the homes burning on th e horizon. About five hun dred and forty miles on our journey we camped a bout one half mile from so me freighters, forty wagons in all. They had b een to Denver, Colorado, wi th their loads and were on their way back. I n the night we heard yellin g and shooting. Presently we saw the fire sta rt burning. The Indians ha d set fire to all the wag¬ons and driven thei r cattle away and killed al l the men.
As night herders we had many narrow escapes from the Indians. But the bl e ssings of the Lord were upon us and we landed home in safety.
In 1865,I moved from Fillmore to Meadow, which is eight miles south. He r e I took up a farm and began farming and dairying.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
CONTINUED BY HIS DAUGHTER -- M. E. S. BECKSTRAND
After arriving in Meadow, father was allotted twenty acres of farm lan d . Later, when he took up a larger farm of 160 acres for himself, the or ig inal 20 acres was taken from him.
When he came there were no streets except the main highway through tow n . My parents lived with Uncle William Stott's family in Fillmore unti l th ey got their own home built. I was born in Fillmore and my sister, S adie , was born in a log room which father erected as his first home in M eadow . Later in the same lot he erected an adobe house which is still st andin g on the corner west of Main Street and south of Center Street. Her e tw o of my brothers, Edwin and Raymond were born,
The old Meadow Creek followed the course of the Old Hollow until it reac h ed the lot where stands the home of Elizabeth Stewart and from there t h e stream turned southwest and well do I remember it flowing past my gra nd father's house, (where the Howard Bushnell home now stands.)
The men started working on roads to the canyons to get timber out fo r a s chool house. In 1867 one log room was com-pleted on the present Tit hing-y ard lot. Father was one of the first school teachers in Meadow, Lo gs wer e split and turned to use the flat part for the seat of the bench , then m aple pegs were driven in for legs and there were no back rests . Two year s later another room was added to the schoolhouse. This hous e was used fo r all ward activities. In the summertime loads of green bru sh were brough t down from the mountains and made into a bowery on the no rth side of th e building and here the dances were held. | Stott, Edwin (I6674)

My mother writes in her book of remembrance that she gave to all of he r c hildren and grandchildren about her grandfather Bjorkman.
" Several times a year we would go to grace, Idaho to visit my grandma a n d grandpa Bjorkman. Grandpa had come from Denmark when he was about six te en and he still had a strong accent. He was rounded out and when he sa t d own there was not much of a lap left for me to sit on. He used a magn ifyi ng glass to read which fascinated me. Grandma was a little lady an d had l ong hair that she braided and wrapped around her head. One time s he too k her braids out so I could see how long it was. She could actuall y sit o n her hair it was so long. IN their basement they had shelves an d shelve s of books. I liked to go down and choose a book to read while w e were vi siting. My Aunt Rena (Lorena) lived with them and I thought sh e was the b est cookie maker in the whole world. We would look into the c ookie jar an d to our delight always find homemade cookies that seemed t o be waiting j ust for us to eat. Grandpa and Grandma had a little woode n fridge and th e iceman would regularly deliver a big chunk of ice to pu t into it to kee p their food cold."
I am grateful for this small entry in my mother's book of remembrance.
These are my great grandparents that I never met, but were sealed in t h e temple on the same day that I was sealed in the temple, but 89 year s ea rlier. They were sealed in the Logan Temple I was sealed in the Sal t Lak e Temple. I am sure they were happy that day.
I am their Great Granddaughter, Valerie Ward Smith
Here are a few more memories from my mother, as I talked to her about h e r Grandfather and Grandmother Bjorkman .
Karen Sophia Hansen (S long O F long I a) Bjorkman, this is how I rememb e r her name being said.
My Grandpa and Grandma Bjorkman both passed away while my husband, Spenc e r was on his mission. Karen Sophia Hanson’s mother was born into royal t y in Denmark., Anne Margarethe Sorensen. My grandmother was a tiny litt l e lady. She wore her hair in a braid and then put it up on top of her h ea d. One time when I was there, I felt like I was one of the lucky grand chi ldren. She asked if I would like her to unbraid her hair for me. Sh e unbr aided it and combed it out and tucked it under and sat on it. He r hair wa s grey at that time. She was a true grandma. Their daughter Lor ena (Rena ) lived with them. She never married. The awesome thing about R ena is tha t she was such a good cook and she would always have homemad e cookies i n the cookie jar. The other thing we liked to do when we wer e there was g o downstairs and see all the bookcases and books. I could a lways go fin d a book that I could read. I would usually do that while m y mom and da d visited. That would be my entertainment while they visited . We would g o maybe once a month or so. It would be quite an event. The y lived in Gra ce Idaho. We didn’t really play there. Lots of times we wo uld just sit an d listen to everyone visit, but we also had permission t o go downstairs a nd find a book or go in the kitchen and have some cooki es .
About their house, I think they had 2 homes, one an older one and th e n a newer one. The way they kept their food cold was they had the icem a n come and deliver ice and they would put it in a cooler. It was a bro w n cooler a little bigger than the coolers they make now. It had woode n do ors that were like a mini refrigerator size. I was fascinated to wat ch th e iceman when he came to bring the ice. They had a big clock that y ou cou ld always hear ticking in the house. It was very ornate and ha d a loud ti ck. I could hear it tick all the while I visited. They also h ad a lot o f books in their front room. It always smelled like fresh bake d cookies .
To me Grandma was rather somber, quiet and serious. That's why I thoug h t it was so neat for her to do her hair for me because she always seem e d so predictable and serious to me. She was always really a nice lady a n d so kind to me. Grandma’s house was always very clean. It was always t id y. She was neat and tidy to look at and neat and tidy to go into her h ome . It was just really nice.
She always wore a dress. I never saw her in slacks. She always had a cu t e little cotton patterned dress on. They would have a waistline and a s tr aight skirt that always went past her knees. The top might have some p lea ts or little bits of lace. and these cute shoes that were kind of for mal , you slipped them on and they had little square heels .
My dad always said that she would make their butter and ice cream in a c o ntainer and store it underground in a root cellar to keep it cool. Sh e wo uld also make cottage cheese and other dairy products .
I came home from college to go to their funerals. We stayed all nigh t a t their house when Grandpa passed away, they passed away about a yea r apa rt from each other.
Grandpa came back to grandma after he passed and told her what he want e d at his funeral. He told her who he wanted to speak and what he wante d f or the whole funeral. I heard her telling this to my father when we w er e staying overnight.
It was a pretty ride over to Grace, at least an hour. It is past Downy . I t is a really pretty place. Grace is by Soda Springs. Soda Springs i s a r eal place and there really is a spring that gurgles water that is c arbona ted.
n that same era of time that Grandma let her hair down for me, I woul d g o sit on Grandpa’s lap and he was so heavy and such a big man that wh en h e sat down his lap would go clear to his knees. He would say come an d si t on my lap and I would think well there isn’t enough room. He alway s wor e a suit with a pocket watch and was pretty formal .
My Grandpa Bjorkman used to be a bishop and there was no time limit on t h e meeting or sermons. My dad used to go to church all day long. They wo ul d stay at church for hours. Grandpa was the bishop for a long time an d h e would preach really really long sermons. There wasn’t a time limi t to t he church sermons. He was a busy person going to meetings all th e time. H e got used to getting dressed up and stayed dressed up all th e time.
He still had his Danish accent. A really strong Danish accent. You ha d t o listen carefully to understand him. They were a quiet, refined an d rese rved family. Polite conversation was the normal atmosphere, inform ational , kind and careful.
He was sponsored by a church man from Newton to come to the US. The ma n g ot them 3 train tickets to come to Newton, Henry, Walter and Victor . Gran dpa worked in the canyons to get wood to supply Cache Valley Schoo ls wit h heat. He met Grandma at a dance in 1901 they got married. She wa s a pos t office mistress in Newton. He had come to Central in Idaho an d homestea ded a farm of 160 acres of sage brush 1898. In 1910 Grandpa se rved a miss ion to Denmark and left, when he came back home, my dad, Arno ld, was th e first child born after he got home .
They went broke on their potato crop. They never sold a sack of potato e s but fed them to the pigs. Wheat sold for 18 cents a bushel and potato e s for 10 cents a hundred. They were low so they just fed them to the pi gs . Arnold and Albert worked really hard on the farm and did a lot of wo r k for their dad, my grandpa. The depression was hard on the family. Gra nd pa went to work for a machinery company. He worked for 50 - 100 cent s a d ay.
Grandpa’s mom came to Logan from Denmark. Her name was Marie. She live d i n a house really close to the Logan temple. It is a little green 2 st or y house now. She did a ton of temple names. Her husband didn’t com e - Got tfred- because he was a connoisseur of wine and cigars for the ki ng and h e wouldn’t/couldn’t leave his job. Marie and her daughter are bu ried in t he Logan cemetery. Her daughter’s name Allie/Otte. | Bjorkman, Henry Albert (I126163)

My name is David Aaron Stephenson. I am the son of David Elbert and An n H ancock Stephenson. My father is the son of John Junior Stephenson an d Cor al McKee Stephenson. I am so grateful that I was able to know my Gr eat Gr andpa McKee as a small boy. We lived in Salt Lake City and Salmo n Idaho w hile growing up, and would occasionally stop by as we passed th rough Hold en, Utah during those years. Great Grandma and Grandpa McKee w ere such ki nd people. I still remember the feeling of warmth in their ho me. I rememb er sitting on the large porch swing as a child. My sibling s and I loved t o swing in that large bench. I remember my mother teachin g me about Grea t Grandpa's wise council "If you can't buy it, you don' t need it." I hav e shared this wise council with others throughout my li fe.
I remember enjoying a large dinner one afternoon when we stopped by the i r home to visit. I was probably 6 or 7 at the time. Great Grandma McKe e s erved meat and potatoes and I particularly remember the white grav y i n a fancy looking gravy boat. I think that was the first time I had s ee n gravy served in such a nice looking dish. Great Grandma was so kin d an d was very happy that we were there.
I was named David after my father. He was named David after his Grandp a B urton "David" McKee. I named my first and only son David. It's grea t to k now that I was named after such great men and that the name live s on thro ugh my son and might possibly continue through his posterity a s well .
How blessed I am to have known this great man. | McKee, Burton David (I235)

Nan's father, Dr. Britton, spoke to Harding about his daughter's infatua t ion, and Harding met with her, claiming he told her that someday she wo ul d find the man of her dreams. At the time, Harding was already involve d i n a passionate affair with Carrie Fulton Phillips, wife of James Phil lips , co-owner of a local department store. After she graduated from hig h sch ool in 1914, Britton moved to New York City, to begin a career a s a secre tary. However, she claimed she also began an intimate relations hip with H arding.
Following Harding's death, Britton wrote what is considered to be the fi r st kiss-and-tell book. In The President's Daughter, published in 1928 , sh e claimed she had been Harding's mistress all during his presidency , nami ng him as the father of her daughter, Elizabeth Ann (1919-2005). O ne famo us passage told of their making love in a coat closet in the exec utive of fice of the White House.
According to Britton, Harding had promised to support their daughter, b u t after his sudden death in 1923, his wife refused to honor the obligat io n. Britton insisted she wrote the book to earn money to the support he r d aughter and to champion the rights of illegitimate children. She brou gh t a lawsuit (Britton v. Klunk), but she was unable to provide any conc ret e evidence and was shaken by the vicious personal attacks made by Con gres sman Grant Mouser during the cross examination, which cost her the c ase.
Britton's memoirs seem sincere, but her portrayal of Harding and his col l oquialisms paints a picture of a crude womanizer. In his 1931 book Onl y Y esterday: An Informal History of the 1920s, Frederick Lewis Allen wro te t hat on the testimony of Britton's book, Harding's private life was " one o f cheap sex episodes" and that "one sees with deadly clarity the es sentia l ordinariness of the man, the commonness of his 'Gee dearie' an d 'Say, y ou darling'." Britton's book was among those irreverently revie wed by Dor othy Parker for The New Yorker magazine as part of her famou s Constant Re ader column, under the title "An American DuBarry."
In 1964, the "discovery of more than 250 love letters that Mr. Harding h a d written to Mrs. James Phillips of Marion Ohio, between 1909 and 1920 " g ave further support to Britton's own claims. Journalist R.W. Apple fo un d Britton, who had long lived in seclusion, but was refused an intervi ew . At the time, she was living in the Chicago area. Even at this time , ove r a generation later, her daughter and grandchildren would "occasio nall y be hounded by hateful skeptics" with threats and other unwanted at tenti on that seemed to intensify during presidential elections.
In the 1980s, Britton and her extended family moved to Oregon, where h e r three grandchildren currently live.
Nan Britton died in 1991 in Sandy, Oregon, where she had lived during t h e last years of her life. She insisted until her death that Harding wa s h er daughter's father, a fact that was confirmed by DNA testing decade s la ter, in 2015. | Britton, Nanna Popham (I93149)

Nancy Whipple Lewis
Biographical sketch of the life of Nancy Whipple Lewi s
as told to her granddaughter, Sheila McCleve, June 29, 1961.
I am the daughter of Willard Whipple, Sr. and Emma Melissa Oliver. I w a s born in Adair, Apache County (Navajo now), Arizona, USA on the Whipp l e Ranch which is located 4 miles west of Show Low on June 3, 1892 abou t 3 :00 AM in a three room log cabin which has recently been burned dow n to p ut in a country club – golf course.
My father told me it was a beautiful day when I was born. I remember h e t old me he had finished planting his coffee beans the previous evening .
My cousins were like brothers and sisters to me. Our amusements were sel f -made – hunting pine gum and bird's nests, and watching mother birds fe e d their young. My father had a flock of sheep and we had fun bringing t he m in every evening. One of my childhood joys was feeding bummer lamb s fro m bottles and nipples.
My father's parents died when I was young, so I can't remember them, b u t my mother's parents used to come from Pima to visit us every summe r i n a covered wagon and we always looked forward to their visits. My gr andf ather Oliver usually gave me and my sisters each a dime on special o ccasi ons such as the Fourth of July and our birthdays. We really appreci ated i t because money was very rare at that time.
We walked 2 miles to school and Sunday school, primary, and sacrament me e ting every week and met in a one room log house.
When I was five years old, in the summer of 1897, I went with my parent s , Lydia, Harriet and Willard on a trip to be sealed to them in the Man t i temple. On our way over we stopped at Lee's Ferry which is on the Col or ado River. It was a beautiful spot. A family there raised apples peach e s plums and grapes. We had to cross the ferry on rafts. Our return tri p w as not so pleasant because of the route that we took. Someone told u s tha t the route through Pierre canyon was shorter, so we took that rout e, bu t found that the roads through the canyon had been washed out by fl oo d a few days before. We had to make the most of the road at each cross in g of the river, which ran down the canyon very crookedly and had to b e cr ossed every little while. To make things worse, the river was fille d wit h quicksand and we got in at one place and had to spend most of th e day g etting out. We nearly drowned one of the mares before we got he r out. Whe n we arrived at the Colorado River, it was very high and we ha d to lay ov er there for five days before it was safe to ferry across. W e arrived hom e the last of October.
In grade school we played line base, steel sticks, jacks, marbles, Dani s h ball -which was similar to baseball, jump rope, swings, hop scotch . I d idn't learn to dance until I moved to Show Low where we had lovel y dance s in the Owen's barn which still stands. When the church house wa s buil t we then danced in it by carbide lights which were very bright
The first time I can remember that my prayers were actually answered w a s when my sister, Harriet, had scarlet fever and double pneumonia. Ever yo ne said it would be impossible for her to live, so since the house wa s al l lit up, I went outside where 3 feet of snow and ice covered the gr oun d and knelt down beside the wheel of my father's wagon and prayed fo r he r recovery. Her life was spared.
I was born and raised in the church and went down with my father in a w a gon to the Creek where Fools Hollow Dam now is. My father baptized m e o n my birthday, June 3, 1900. It was a beautiful day! Afterwards, I ga ther ed a big bouquet of roses.
We lived on the ranch until September 1903 when we move to ShowLow to be t ter our circumstances. Our ward had been previously organized at ShowL o w and we had better church and school advantages there. That we had mo r e room meant the most to us. We were also closer to water. We could car r y it from the ditch or bring a barrel full up the hill with a horse an d s led. This is what we did most of the time. Here we had irrigation wat er a nd could have a garden.
I attended the ShowLow District school for my eight grade School years . L ula Hatch was my first teacher. She was Samuel F Smith's wife. Some o f m y other grade school teachers were Connie Decker, Joseph Pierce, Nath anie l Decker, Lecea Foster.
I used to participate in some of the plays, which were put on in grade s c hool. I told an original story in one of the performances and really en jo yed it.
I then attended parts of three years of high school in Snowflake and boa r ded with Elizabeth Gayle Kartchner for $15 a month for room and board . Pr ofessor Peterson was the principal during this time.
I was attending Snowflake Church Academy when it burned down. This was t h e reason I did not finish one of my years and came home.
I attended my age group classes in MIA. I really enjoyed attending our s i nging practices in whicHising soprano. Elsie Dewitt was our chorister.
Two of my primary teachers were Sarah Mills and Mary Brady. Ada Owen s i t was one of my
MIA teachers. She told us in one of our classes that if we would make o u r future husband a matter of prayer we would be directed to them. I d o fe el as if my prayers were answered in this instance.
My first two jobs away from home were (1) in Holbrook working for John a n d Julia Fish doing hotel work and (2) at the Cooley Ranch – cooking fo r t hem. I made $19 a month and spent it on school clothes.
I met my husband, William Henry Lewis, at high school. Mildred Pierce in t roduced him to me because she went with his best friend. The boys use d t o come from Taylor to Snowflake in Frank Baldwin's convertible car t o se e Mildred and me. I went with him off and on for two years.
When we went to Salt Lake City to be married in the temple, we rode th e t rain from Holbrook. We started on Wednesday at 10:00 PM and arrived i n Sa lt Lake City. We stayed a month for a honeymoon at his mother's sist er' s house – Sam and Emma Brown. Cars were just coming in style so the y too k us all over sightseeing. We got to see the opening of the "Panam a Canal ."
We lived in Grandfather Solomon’s house in Taylor when we returned fro m U tah.
Our first and only son, Willard Harding, was born May 5, 1916 in my moth e r’s home. My mother was the midwife for all of my eight children. I rem em ber that the crab apple blossoms were in bloom at that time.
Ella, my first daughter, was born January 25, 1918 in Grandfather Solomo n 's house. When she was nine months old, we moved to ShowLow and we hav e l ived here in the same house ever since.
Marbry, our third child, was born February 5, 1920; Hilda, February 21 , 1 922; Rilla, December 21, 1924; Doris, June 24, 1926; Mildred, April 1 3th , 1928; Viola, October 3, 1934.
Willard had the flu, then took double pneumonia. We took him to the doct o r in McNary who sent him to Phoenix, who was a lung specialist by the n am e of Dr. Swasey. He said it was an infectious abscess, not TB, which s h e had obtained as a result of pneumonia.
He was operated on in Phoenix, but stayed afterwards in the State Welfa r e hospital – Sanatorium-in Tempe.
Either his father or I was with him most of the 22 months he spent in t h e hospital flat on his back. He died January 28, 1941.
The rest of the children were very healthy and they had just the usual c h ildhood diseases.
However, Doris almost lost her life as a result of the whooping cough.
Doris fulfilled a mission in the southern states and Mildred served a mi s sion in Western Canada. All of my daughters have been married in one o f t he temples except one. I now have 40 grandchildren and one great gran ddau ghter.
Until the family became so large, we used to eat Thanksgiving dinner a t m y house and have an annual Christmas get together in our living room . Eve ry Easter before my husband died, our whole family would go to Fool s Holl ow and have a picnic.
My husband and I went to Phoenix about five years consecutively to the a n nual state fair. We were not apart much – only when he went to shear sh ee p for other people in Phoenix in December or January. Four months wa s th e longest period of time he was away from home. My husband and I alw ays h ad a beautiful garden and a few barnyard animals.
My husband was well and strong and worked in his justice of the peace of f ice every day until the morning of January 29 when he had a stroke fro m w hich he never recovered. He could not talk after that.
He passed away February 18, 1958 in his home in ShowLow.
Since he died I have gone back east on a Margaret Lund Tour to the Palmy r a pageant and visited various church historical sites. I was gone a mon th .
In April of the next year, I went on a two week Margaret Lund tour and v i sited the various islands of Hawaii. I was flying over the ocean on Mot he r's Day on my return. It seemed kind of strange.
I have always been active in the church and have held various position s i n the ward. I have taught primary for 25 years and have been a Relie f Soc iety teacher for 20 years.
My eyesight is poor, so I have not been able to read as much as I woul d l ike. However I really enjoy raising flowers and plants. My favorite s ong s are "Come, Come ye Saints "and "We Thank Thee Oh God for a Prophe t "an d "Have I told you lately that I love you " and "I love You Truly " . My f avorite movie star is Clark Gable. My favorite month is June becau se th e nights and the weather are so beautiful. | Whipple, Nancy (I161427)

LIEU TENANT (j unior grade) WILLIAM J. WALKER, U. S. N., 24 years of age; badl y bruise d about the shoulders.
One woman was killed, two others perhaps fatally injured, one seriousl y h urt, and four persons were painfully injured when two automobiles cra she d yesterday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at fifth South and State street s .
Lieutenant Walker, driver of one of the cars, was held on an open char g e at the city jail last night under $5000 bail set by Judge Henry C. Lu n d after consultation with Chief of Police Joseph E. Burbridge, Chief o f D etectives Riley M. Beckstead and County Attorney Richard Hartley. Jam es W . Warden, automobile salesman and driver of the other car, was rele ase d without the preferring of charges .
Lieutenant Walker was driving a Locomobile south on State street, with M r s. Lawson and her seventeen year old son, Howard, as passengers. Mr. Wa rd en was driving his Nash car west on Fifth South street with the six me mbe rs of the Clark family in his car .
Thrown Forty Feet
The front right wheel of Lieutenant Walker's car struck the right rear w h eel of the Nash. The Nash was turned around several times as it skidde d t owards the southwest curb. Mrs. Melvina Clark was hurled through th e fabr ic of the top for a distance of forty feet, landing head first o n the iro n wheel of an asphalt heater near the curb. As Mrs. Stella Clar k saw tha t an accident was unavoidable, she clasped tightly in her arm s the Clar k infant until the actual impact. The force of this sent Mrs . Clark hurtl ing into the air, and the baby dropped between the cushione d seats and wa s but little hurt. All the others were thrown from the ca r except the dri ver.
Lieutenant Walker's car skidded and wobbled for a moment, then turned tu r tle,
pinning Mrs. Lawson, her son and the naval officer beneath it .
Passengers Extricated. Bystanders and other automobilista rushed to th e s cene and righted the over-turned car, drawing Mrs. Lawson and the oth er s from beneath its weight. An ambulance call was sent in, but the mach in e broke down on the way and private automobiles took the injured to th e E mergency hospital. The car in which the Clark family rode was being d rive n to the Stants apartments 19 West Fifth South street, to leave th e child ren with Mrs. Warden while the family went on to Wasatch Lawn cem etery fo r the Interment of Mrs. Inez Clark Harvey.
When preliminary examination at the Emergency hospital disclosed the ext e nt of the injuries to Mrs. Lynn Clark and Miss Sabina Clark, they wer e re moved to the L.D.S. hospital. The condition of Mrs. Lawson was too p recar ious to permit of moving her last night. Mrs. Lawson's husband, th e lat e Howard H. Lawson, was for many years with the Denver and Rio Gran de rai lroad. For the fifteen years prior to his death three years ago, M r. Laws on had been engaged in the livestock commission business. He wa s well kno wn throughout the inter-mountain country .
Navy Man is Held.
Since the death of her husband, Mrs. Lawson has been engaged in the insu r ance business with the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company, of whic h he r brotherin-law, William E. Lawson, is general agent .
The other injured, with the exception of Lieutenant Walker, were take n t o their homes. The lieutenant is in jail. He is in command of the nav y re cruiting service station during the illness of Commander Richard R . Man n who is recovering from influenza. Lieutenant Walker is assigned t o dut y in Salt Lake recruiting for the naval air service .
Commander Mann said last night that he will this morning take steps to s e cure the release of Lieutenant Walker. He stated further that after a n in vestigation he made in person immediately following the accident, h e coul d not see justification for the arrest of the naval officer. Comma nder Ma nn added that to hold a naval officer under $5000 bail in a cit y jail wit hout preferring charges was a procedure entirely new to him .
Participants State Views
The following statements were made to Detective Lester F. Wire, who cond u cted an investigation following the accident: Lieutenant Walker has be e n living since coming to Salt Lake at the Lawson Home, 123 N Street. H i s home is at 243 Adelaide Avenue, Providence, R.I. He said, "I first s a w the automobile going west on Fifth South Street when it was just cros si ng the east crosswalk of the intersection and I was twenty five yard s sho rt of the intersection on State street. I was going between twent y and tw enty-five miles an hour and the other machine was traveling thir ty or thi rty-five miles an hour. My machine is a heavy machine, weighin g 5800 poun ds. I thought I had the 'right-of-way,' and it was not unti l I saw the dr iver was not going to give it to me that I turned my machi ne east to avoi d a collision." James W. Warden, living at the Staats apa rtments, 47 Wes t Fifth South street, driver of the car carrying Mrs. Cla rk and members o f her family said: "I was going west on Fifth South stre et twenty-five mi les an hour in the middle of the block between State an d Second East Stre ets. As I neared the crossing, I slowed my car down un til it was travelin g between fifteen and twenty miles an hour as we cros sed the intersection . I did not see the other machine, and the first thi ng I knew my automobi le was spinning."
Moderate Speed Claimed.
Howard Larson 17 years of age, who was an occupant of the Walker machin e , corroborated Lieutenant Walker's statement as to the speed of the mac hi ne and said he first noticed the other car when they were twenty fee t nor th
of the intersection.
Mrs. Viola Witcher, who was in the Nash automobile, driven by Warden sai d , "We were going about twenty-five miles an hour in the center of the b lo ck between State and Second East streets, and as we neared the interse cti on at State street, the speed of the car slowed down until we were go in g between fifteen and twenty miles an hour at the time of the acciden t . I didn't notice the other auto until it was nearly upon us, but it w a s traveling between forty and fifty miles an hour. "
The other persons figuring in the accident were too seriously injure d t o give statements.
Rescues Infant.
Van Hendrickson of Murray was the first man to reach the Nash car afte r
it stopped spinning, and took the ten month old Clark baby from where i t
was wedged between the cushions of the seat and the side of the machin e . He
held the child and took it to the emergency hospital, where it was give n
treatment for two small lacerations above the left eye .
J.A.Roach, 223 West South Temple street said, " I was standing twenty-fi v e yards north of the north crosswalk on State street and noticed the la rg e red Locomobile traveling at what I judged to be between fifty and si xt y miles an hour south on State street. As the red car sped south I sa w th e black car crossing its path. The driver of the Locomobile also sa w th e black machine and tried to turn his car behind it and avoid a coll ision .
Occupants Thrown Out.
"When the cars crashed I turned and started running towards the spinni n g machines. The Nash car was whirling like a top and I saw the top an d si de curtains torn away as its occupants were hurtled through the ai r .
"Other bystanders joined in the rescue work. The Locomobile was turned o v er and those imprisoned beneath carried out. The engine of the machin e co ntinued running and the wheels were spinning until the car was turne d o n its side and the motor stopped. "

Life of Sabina Clark Alder by Jan Murdoch, granddaughter
My maternal grandmother, Sabina, was born in Luna, Socorro, New Mexic o o n June 13, 1884. (this date is presumed to be the correct date but t he d ate of June 10th has also been mentioned through the years.) She ha d won derful parents and siblings and there are many stories that we hav e hear d through the years while growing up. Sabina, Gram as we called h er, liv ed with our family for the last 10 years of her life and passed a way in B oise, Ada, Idaho on July 9, 1964.
Her father, Hyrum Brown Clark, was a very influential businessman and ca t tle rancher in the various towns where they lived growing up. The kid s w ere all raised to use proper manners and etiquette. When we were lit tl e and living in Boise, Idaho we would drive down to Salt Lake City t o vis it her in her little apartment. We had a green Studebaker at the t ime s o we piled in, no freeways to make our trip to go any faster, and h eade d south. When we got closer to SLC, us girls in the back seat alway s mov ed to the window behind the driver's seat to try and be the first o ne t o see the Temple. I remember her apartment was small but very neat . A s a child she had learned to do crocheting, knitting and tatting .
After her car accident, which severely hurt her hip and pelvic area, s h e had a hard time standing for any period of time. For 18 years she w or ked as a recorder in the Salt Lake Temple but the arthritis in her han d s became such that it was very difficult to type on those old typewrite rs . So my Dad, Robert Gail Murdoch, drove to Salt Lake City and packe d he r up so she could come live with us. She had her own bedroom and ba throo m in the basement of our house in the north end of Boise.
While in her mid-20s she became engaged to a wonderful man that played t h e violin for the Utah Symphony and she was very excited for this marria ge . Sadly, he passed away from a sudden heart attack and she was depres se d for a few years. Her family convinced her to go on a mission so he r pa pers were submitted and she was called to the Northwest Mission, whi ch wa s the time was
She was a great cook and loved to make "scones" as she called them but t o day they are known as Indian fry bread. During the day she kept busy w it h doing her handiwork, which was amazing - I still have her box of cro che t hooks and some unfinished tatting she had started. Sometimes neigh bor s would stop in for a visit. | Clark, Sabina (I127972)

Nikephoros Komnenos was a Byzantine military leader under the emperors B a sil II (r. 976–1025) and Constantine VIII (r. 1025–1028). He served a s go vernor of the Armenian region of Vaspurakan, and is one of the firs t know n members of the Komnenos family, which came to rule the Byzantin e Empir e in 1081–1185.
Biography
Nikephoros Komnenos is one of the first documented members of the Komnen o s family, but nothing is known of his early life or his connection to t h e main branch of the family, which eventually gave rise to the imperia l d ynasty. The Greek scholar Konstantinos Varzos suggested that he was t he y ounger brother of the Komnenian dynasty's patriarch, Manuel Erotiko s Komn enos, but neither assumption can be verified.
Nikephoros is first mentioned in the historical record in c.?1022, short l y after the King of Vaspurakan, Senekerim-Hovhannes (r. 1003–1021), una bl e to resist the pressure of his Muslim neighbours, surrendered his kin gdo m to the Byzantine emperor Basil II in exchange for large estates an d th e governorship of the theme of Sebasteia. Basil II initially gave th e ne w province Asprakania to Basil Argyros, but was forced to replace hi m soo n after due to his ineptitude. The protospatharios Nikephoros Komne nos wa s chosen to succeed Basil Argyros as governor (strategos or katepa no), an d swiftly managed to enforce Byzantine rule over the country. Th e contemp orary Armenian historian Aristakes Lastivertsi records that Nik ephoros ca ptured the principality of Arzes on the northern shore of Lak e Van, and i ncorporated it into his province, although according to th e narrative o f the likewise contemporary Arab Christian historian Yahy a of Antioch, th e feat was carried out by Emperor Basil himself.
Nikephoros Komnenos continued to serve as strategos of Vaspurakan unde r B asil II's brother and successor, Constantine VIII, but in 1026 he wa s dis missed on suspicion of disloyalty and recalled to Constantinople, w here h e was blinded. Two different versions are provided by the historic al reco rd on the background to his recall: the Byzantine chronicler Joh n Skylitz es reports that he insisted on a written pledge of support fro m his troop s, intended to be used against the neighbouring Turkish ruler s, but whic h was interpreted by Constantine as an attempt to create a fo rce personal ly loyal to him. While Skylitzes declares the accusation bas eless and put s the blame on the over-suspicious Constantine, Aristakes c laims that Nik ephoros was indeed engaged in treasonous talks with King G eorge I of Geor gia (r. 1014–1027), aiming to either declare himself empe ror, or make Vas purakan an independent kingdom. When the troops of Cappa docia found out a bout it, however, they captured Nikephoros and sent hi m as a prisoner t o Constantinople, where Constantine VIII, after careful ly examining the a ffair and convincing himself of Nikephoros' guilt, ha d him and eight of h is companions blinded in the next year. | Komnenos, Nikephoros (I8023)

November 10, 1944, 8th Tank Battalion, 4th Armored Division: Roland R. E a gar (1917-2010)World War II, First Injury
The date was Nov. 10, 1944. The place was Eastern France a few miles no r theast of Nancy in Alsace Lorraine. We had been out of action for a f e w days, resting and receiving replacements. We received a new Lieutena n t by the name of Runyan. This would be his first experience 'in action ' . On Nov. 9 we'd broken a hole in the enemy’s line and left a Headquar te rs Company in the village of Viviers to secure passage to our rear s o w e could evacuate our wounded and get ammo, fuel and other supplies a s w e needed them. During the night a company of enemy soldiers had atta cke d the forces we had left there, taken them captive and closed the roa d th rough the town. We had to be able to pass through the town and my p latoo n was ordered to force our way through the town and recover our tro ops th at were being held captive. I believe that if Lt. Runyan had bee n more s easoned, he would have insisted that we have infantry with us t o keep Baz ookas from firing at us at close range. When tanks were in to wn they wer e quite vulnerable to Bazookas. Being new, Lt. Runyan accept ed the orde r as it was received.
On Nov. 10, 1944, at about 9 a.m. we attacked. Within about 75 yards o u r tank was hit by a Bazooka shell. Our driver, Joe Rossi, was killed i ns tantly and the tank rolled to a stop on the side of the road. The oth e r 4 of us scrambled out with rifle and machine gun fire buzzing aroun d us . Lt. Runyan was taken prisoner immediately. Robert Punch and Cart er Fe ltner tried to run back the way we had come and were killed by smal l arm s fire. I was blinded by the brightness of the exploding Bazooka s hell a nd burned on my face and hands. My legs were bleeding quite badl y from s hrapnel wounds, but I could walk. My vision was not completel y lost, bu t I couldn’t keep my eyes open. I needed cover from the smal l arms fir e that was surrounding me. I made my way inside the attic o f a nearby hou se. The house was on a hillside and the road was on the u pper side of th e house so when I entered, I was in the attic which was f ull of straw . I did not have a weapon on me and couldn’t have used i t if I had ha d one.
Laying in the straw, I could hear a german soldier firing his rifle . I c ould smell his cigarette, and sensed his approach to ascertain i f I wa s a threat to him. He did not touch me or harm me in any way . I tried n ot to move or give him any reason to think I might survive m y wounds, the n heard him report to his Sergeant. I passed out several t imes and was a ware of time passing. My wounds stopped bleeding so I wasn ’t afraid of bl eeding to death. I lay there the rest of the day and tha t night. The nex t morning I knew I was going to have to get medical att ention soon. Shor tly after daylight I heard voices in the street and th ey were speaking En glish!
I called out and was answered with a command to “Come out you ***** SOB ” . I yelled that I was not a ***** and managed to crawl to where I cou l d be seen. Those American infantrymen called the medics on their radi o . The medics came, put me on a stretcher and carried me to their aid s ta tion. I was given a little food, and transported by ambulance to a ho spi tal in Nancy.
At the hospital my hands and face were cleaned up; Vaseline was smeare d o n my face which was then covered with thick bandages, leaving holes f or m y mouth and nostrils. I spent 8 hours in surgery as shrapnel was re move d from my legs. Blood plasma was infused in one of my arms and dext ros e in the other one. I thought I would freeze to death. That plasm a an d dextrose were right out of the refrigerator!
After 4 or 5 days I was placed on a hospital train and taken to Pari s t o a general hospital. When I was able to walk again, I was taken t o a co nvalescent hospital about 30 miles south of Paris where I had Than ksgivin g dinner. Soon after that, I was discharged from the hospital, a nd sen t to a replacement depot (we called them repple depots). I was th en move d back to my Company where I arrived soon after the 1st of Januar y. Onl y then did I learn what had happened to the other 4 men of my cre w on Nov . 10, 1944. | Eagar, Roland Riches (I175616)

Barbara Fogg
In the quiet morning hours of September 28, 2017, and in the comfort of her own home in Wilder, Idaho, Barbara White Fogg peacefully returned to her heavenly home.
Barbara was born August 10, 1937, in Salt Lake City Utah. She was the second of 4 daughters to Tom and Maxine White. She was raised in Ogden where she had many adventures with her sisters and dear friend Rochelle. Barbara took dance lessons, piano lessons and played the clarinet. She even got to wash the dirty socks for the Ogden Reds baseball team at the launderette her parents owned which was an experience she loved to share. Baseball was her passion from a young age.
After graduating from Ogden High School, Barbara went on to graduate in the first nursing class at Weber College. She then got her bachelor's degree in nursing from the University of Utah. After serving a mission for her church in Brazil, Barbara returned to Utah where she worked at the LDS hospital in their new coronary care unit. While working in Utah, Barbara met her sweetheart Billy D. Fogg. It was quite the whirlwind romance and they were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on June 30, 1967. Later that year they moved to Wilder Idaho where she spent the remaining 50 years of her life. Barbara and Bill made quite the impact on that little town. She also made a profound impression on the Caldwell community as she worked at Caldwell Memorial Hospital and West Valley Medical Center for over 34 years. She loved her hospital family and they all loved "Mother Fogg."
Barbara spent her life doing what she loved most- serving people. Starting and working on Wilder's Quick Response Unit, coaching t-ball, keeping score at the high school volleyball games and serving in many different church callings kept her happy and busy. Barbara touched the hearts and lives of many and will be greatly missed.
She is survived by her 5 children: Tom (Alyssa) Fogg, Terri Elizondo, Jeff (Lilian) Fogg, Becky Fogg and Robert (Cate) Fogg, 11 grandchildren, 2 great-grandchildren and her 3 sisters Dixie Stewart, Karen Hoggan and Elaine Klodnicki. She was preceded in death by her husband Bill and her parents.
