360	Burial: Plot: Block 1 Lot 49 I Vivian Taylor, am the youngest child of Samuel Rose Parkinson. My brot h er Glenn and I were born after the Manifesto Of 1890. By which the Chur c h renounced polygamy; and it would have been dangerous for Father to ha v e us seen publicly. We were taken by our mothers to quilting and carpe t r ag bees in the bundle of quilts or the basket of rags out to the slei gh w hen they went. Because of this necessity for secrecy, I wasn't name d unti l I was four, and at that time I selected my own name . Since Father was sixty-two when I was born, my memories of him start wh e n he was about seventy. At that time he was tall, and grey hair and a s hi ny bald spot, grey crown among the rest of his teeth, which were his o wn . He could read anything without classes. He always kept dressed up, w it h collar and tie, gold watch and chain, and a cane. He walked with a n ai r of dignity. He was quite English in his habits. He would set his shoes out of his be d room every Saturday night to be cleaned and blacked,then would peek aro un d the corner in the morning to see if I had done them. He never forgo t t o say, "my that's good bread, Mr. I like the hard crusts to shew on. " H e called mother Or Mrs. and she spoke of him as Mr. Parkinson or you r fat her, never as Samuel. He read the Doctrine and Covenants a lot afte r brea kfast or mended a cushion of his leather chair or a fly swatter o r the li ke. He kept things fixed up around the home, wherever a few stit ched o r a nail was needed. I put his collar on and tied his shoes ever y day fo r years. One habit of his was buying when the sign was right. Al ways hi s bin was full of coal and wood and there would be plenty of flou r and po tatoes for winter. He was very fond of children, and he used to walk the floor with them cl i nging to one foot, as he dragged them along. When the grandchildren ca m e to see us, he would line them up and count them in spanish. He alway s b egan and ended the day with family prayer. Father established Home Ni gh t for us. One night a week was set aside for each family. Here we sang , r ecited, and served candy and nuts for a good time. He never missed th e si mi-annual conference in Salt Lake. Before I was nine I remember wha t a bi g day it was for the Parkinsons when Father came home on the eveni ng trai n. children from both the second and third families went to the s tation t o meet him. In the fall he would bring a basket of grapes,a a st ick of ce lery, a coconut, and some bananas for each family. Of course w e all wante d to carry them home. I have often thought if my children cou ld appreciat e anything as much as I did a third of a banana I would fee l that they ha d learned what gratitude is. I had lots of fun with father. He would sing "Dandy Jim from Caroline" a n d "Chase the Buffalo" for me, and he played a lot of checkers with me . H e enjoyed his horse and buggy, which I used to hook up for his dail y ride . He loved to go to conf. and always looked forward to hearing J . Golde n Kimball speak.	Parkinson, Vivian Smart (I109428)

Combined with additions by Julie Robinson Smith 2009 John HIRST was born on 7 January (or March) 1816 in the village of S l aithwaite, near Huddersfield, Yorkshire, England. John was the only so n o f Abraham HIRST and Nancy SYKES. Abraham and Nancy lived off of thei r lan d in the picturesque little farming and factory community. John rem aine d on the farm working with his parents until he was twenty-three yea rs ol d. He then acquired a small farm of his own in Slaithwaite and i t was t o this cottage that John brought his lovely bride, to begin thei r new lif e together. John’s bride was nineteen year-old Charlotte BROOK, the daughter o f W illiam (or George) BROOK and Hannah BOTTOMLEY. John and Charlotte exc hang ed sacred vows of matrimony on 5 November 1837. This fortunate coupl e wa s blessed with thirteen children: Abraham born 2 April 1838, James 3 1 Mar ch 1839, Harriet 10 June 1841, Hannah12 January 1843, Nancy 15 Nove mber 1 844, Eliza 21 February 1846, Mary 1 May 1848, Martha 15 June 1850 , Fanny1 0 May 1852, John Jr. 12 January 1855, Sarah 29 July 1857, Charlo tte 9 Dec ember 1859, and Ellen 3 Feb 1862. The family experienced grea t joy and ex ceptional sorrow together. Some of their greatest mourning c ame when thei r first two boys, both Abraham and James died as infants, a nd again at th e death of their darling seventeen year-old daughter Hanna h. Being naturally of a religious turn of mind, John readily conceded t h e rights of humble Elders who came to his village preaching the newly r es tored gospel of Jesus Christ in this Latter-day. He investigated the g osp el message they preached and gladly accepted the truth as is was expl aine d to him. Charlotte also welcomed these missionaries into their hom e an d listened attentively to the story of the great Plan of Happiness . She w as inspired by the news that the priesthood had been restored aga in to ea rth from heaven, so that families could be united eternally. Cha rlotte wo uld have again her little lost boys and daughter to rear durin g the mille nnium! This message went straight to their hearts such that a t Linthwaite , on 3 April 1852, Elder Johanthan Midgley baptized John Hir st a member o f the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Charlott e followed hi s example and entered the waters of baptism on 10 April 185 2. Elder Wrigh t Beaumont performed Charlotte’s ordinance at Slaithwait e while Elder Geo rge C Reiser, another missionary, was a witness. John w as also ordaine d a Priest in 1852 by Elder William Noble, and soon there after was ordain ed an Elder. The Hirst family commenced to look forward to emigrating to Utah, t h e land of cherished hopes. With this end in view, all the children wh o we re able to do so, worked in the cotton mills of Yorkshire and save d thei r hard-earned money towards the realization of their dream to gath er wit h the Saints in the Rocky Mountains! For the next sixteen years Jo hn serv ed as the Branch President of his local congregation, the meeting s for wh ich were held at the Hirst home. Also John was called as a “hom e missiona ry and a traveling Elder” throughout England, during those lon g years o f saving for emigration; throughout which time his cottage wa s always rea dily open to all missionaries. The Hirsts moved from Slaithw aite to Longw ood, (which is also near Huddersfield), and finally to Todm orden; but des pite transience, their hearth was never without welcomed g uests in gospe l association. Charles W. Penrose and many other prominen t men of the chu rch visited at the Hirst residences. The Hirst girls were beautiful and active sisters. Because their par e nts were “Mormons” and due in part to the fact that church meetings we r e held in their home, the Hirst daughters had many trials of persecuti o n to pass through. Their companions and friends began to shun them an d mi streat them. To try to mollify this situation, the sister began to a tten d the Baptist Church, while their father held meetings at home. Th e girl s were each in turn baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of La tter-da y Saints and supported their parents greatly by ultimately makin g it poss ible to emigrate to Zion as a family-the goal for which they ea ch had bee n praying and working toward, for nearly two decades ! When the preparations to depart for America had been made and everyt h ing arranged the family experience an extreme mix of emotions. First th e y each were thrilled at the prospects of finally being able to go a s a fa mily to join with the Saints living near a prophet of God; yet the y wer e also filled with despair at the realization that they would be se parate d from their beloved daughters Eliza Hirst Gledhill, Martha Hirs t Taylor , and Harriet Hirst Marshall; since these dear siblings had marr ied and n eeded to stay behind in England for the present. Eventually Eli za and Mar tha were able to also travel with their families to Utah, bu t the Marshal l family did not relocate to the Rocky Mountain Region, des pite the fac t that Thomas, Harriet’s husband, did join the Church. John, Charlotte, John Jr. (the only living brother), Hannah, Nanc y ( and her husband Mr. Dearden), Mary, Fanny, Sarah, Charlotte, and Elle n, a ll sailed from Liverpool on 20 June 1868 on the sailing vessel, “Eme ral d Isle”, bound for the Promised Land! The Emerald Isle was “and old f ashi oned packet of sailing variety”. John was fifty-two years-old and Ch arlot te, fifty. The children ranged in ages from twenty-five to six year s-old . There were Eight-hundred seventy-six Saints on board ship under t he lea dership of Hans Jensen Hald. After only a few days journey it wa s discove red, to the consternation of all on board, that the apparatus u sed for fi ltering the drinking water was unserviceable, and this necessi tated every one drinking the water from the huge tanks in an unsanitary c ondition. Th is fact, coupled with the very restricted space and exceptio nally crowde d quarters, as well as the long tedious ocean journey of eig ht heart-brea king weeks, caused agonizing sickness to spread throughou t the passengers . Almost every other day of the trip, someone died! Th e first to be lower ed to a watery grave was a two-year old toddler. On e particularly horrifi c day found the death’s toll at six! During the en suing terrifying days t he list of the departed mounted higher and highe r until, appallingly thir ty-seven souls lost their lives while on boar d and had to be buried at se a. Violent storms were encountered by the ve ssel practically the entire w ay across the Atlantic-all were at the comp lete mercy of violent waves fo r many days at a time. The voyage was so r ough that it seemed as though t he ship would be sunk. Charlotte brought with her a sack of Chamomile flowers. She boile d t he water her family drank mixed with these flowers making a kind of h erba l tea which likely protected the health of her family during the jou rney . None of the Hirst family became ill. The Hirsts were additionall y bles sed and elated when their married daughter Nancy Dearden, gave bir th to h er first child while midway across the ocean. The infant was an a dorabl e little girl, thus she was christened for the ship upon which sh e was bo rn, and named “Emerald”. They arrived safely in New York harbo r the 11 Au gust 1868, after fifty-six long treacherous days. The Emeral d Isle then b egan a return trip which ended in tragedy as she sank-cargo , crew, and al l-just within reach of its destination of England! The exhausted traveler next boarded the train in New York and rod e a s far as Fort Bonton, the then terminus of the railroad line. Fort Bo nto n was about seven-hundred miles west of Omaha. The Hirst clan gratefu ll y arrived there 25 August 1868. From this point on, the journey was ma d e by ox-team and wagon under the direction of Captain Holman who ha d a co mpany of men with teams and provisions ready to escort the newly a rrivin g immigrant Saints to Utah. The company experience a great deal o f sickne ss on the plains and many were left by the wayside after a hast y grave wa s dug, with a few leaves and brush put at the bottom of the gr ave, and ov er the top as the only markers. The Hirsts again mercifully a voided sickn ess and loss. Eleven-year-old Sarah however fell from the fr ont of the mo ving wagon and was overrun, being badly bruised and sustain ing a broken l eg. After suffering many privations and much weary toil, t he Hirst clan f inally arrived in the Salt Lake Valley in October of 1868 , four months af ter leaving Liverpool. John and Charlotte settled their family on a ranch in Jordan, nine mil e s Northwest of Salt Lake City, belonging to Dr. W. F. Anderson and too k t he cattle there on shares. The first winter and spring found John als o wo rking on the railroad, which was under construction through Echo Can yon . The Hirsts stayed on the Jordan Ranch four years, and then homestea de d a beautiful farm of their own in Pleasant Green where they also rais e d cattle. Taking advantage of the home Homestead Act, John “took up” on e- hundred sixty acres of land. He built a two-room frame house and move d i n on 2 April 1873. John Hirst was called to be the Bishop of the Pleasant Green bran c h by President Shoenfeldt of the Brighton Stake of which Pleasant Gree n w as a part. John held therefore, the first religious meetings in the P leas ant Green, and served in his position of “Presiding Elder” until hi s deat h on 7 September 1878. Pleasant Green was located where the city o f Magna , Utah is presently. John was buried in the Salt Lake City Cemete ry. Geor ge C Reiser, one of the missionaries that taught the Hirst famil y the gos pel, spoke at John’s funeral giving tribute to his devoted conv ert and fr iend who was a faithful and energetic minister of the gospel d uring all t he long years of his exemplary life . The Relief Society was organized in Pleasant Green the spring of 18 7 9 by Eliza R Snow and Martha Horne Tingey. Charlotte Hirst was electe d th e first president-a position she held until her death on 28 June 188 0. C harlotte loved her charitable work with the women of her area and w ould w alk four miles rather than miss a meeting. It was said of her that , “sh e was a woman of the purest principles and greatest integrity. Wher ever s he went, she gained the good will of all her associates. She was f aithfu l to her trust in visiting the sick, liberal to the poor, and a go od usef ul member of the ward in which she lived.” Charlotte was buried n ext to h er husband in the Salt Lake Cemetery. John and Charlotte Hirst and their children were members of the la s t group of Latter-day Saint emigrants that crossed the ocean in a saili n g vessel, and the last company that crossed the plains by ox-team. Th e ne xt company of Saints to cross the Atlantic came in a steamboat, an d the r ailroad was completed to Ogden, Utah the following spring!\ Researched by Ray B. Jensen and Evelyn Jenkins.

383	Caroline Louise Petersen (or Caddy, as we called her) Aunt Caddy was the third of the Petersen girls. She had married and mov e d to Preston, Idaho. She married Oliver Greaves, a farmer, and like eve ry one else living in those years. Aunty Caddy and Uncle Oliver went thro ug h good years and tough years. Caddy had a beautiful and serene face, and I never remember her when s h e was not smiling. When her children were partly grown Caddy gained he r t eaching certificate, and taught in a nearby school. Often Ma and I were invited to visit Oliver and Caddy in their lovely Pr e ston home. If it was winter we would take the Utah-Idaho Central Railw a y from Logan to Preston, and we would be met at the station by Uncle Ol iv er. He would be holding the reins of a pair of snorting and steaming h ors es who were pulling a large wagon sleigh. Ma and Caddy would bundle d ow n in the big sleigh, pulling large blankets around themselves to kee p war m. My cousin, Wendell, and I would tie a rope to a hand sled and at tach t he other end to the wagon sleigh, and away we would go, with Ma an d Cadd y watching to see if we would fall in the roadside. Uncle Oliver a nd Aun t Caddy also had acquired a new Hudson automobile, and when they d rove t o Logan to show us their new car they were greeted with "oohs" an d "aahs " of admiration, and we were given a fast ride around the block.	Petersen, Caroline Louise (I21986)
384	Caroline was born April 18, 1840 in Nauvoo, Illinois to John Lytle and C h ristina Diana Whitner. She was the sixth of nine children in their fami ly . Her father was a blacksmith working in Ohio when he married Christina Wh i tner February 27, 1827. He was eighteen years of age when he first heard the gospel and in May 1 8 36 he went to Kirkland, Ohio and after learning more about the church d ec ided to be baptized. Eleven months later, he moved his family to Far W es t Missouri, where he had some land and worked it to grow crops. Due to the persecution of the Mormons there, they moved west to Nauvoo , I llinois. While there he was appointed to Chief of Police, serving a s a gu ard to the Prophet Joseph Smith. John and his brother Andrew wer e both po licemen. The summer of 1844, a group of seceders from the Churc h of Jesu s Christ of Latter Day Saints founded a newspaper titled the “N auvoo Expo sitor”. The single edition of the newspaper was very critica l of Joseph S mith and others. In response to the newspaper publication , the Nauvoo cit y council declared the paper a public nuisance, and orde red the printin g press destroyed. John and his brother Andrew along wit h others destroye d the printing press. In October, the case for John and Andrew were brought before the court a n d a man named Rollison was the principal witness against them. When ask e d to identify if it was John or Andrew who committed the crime, he sai d i t was the policemen. Since both were policemen, he said it was the bl acks mith and since they were both blacksmiths the jury acquitted them. In 1846, John and Christina’s family and many others had to leave Nauv o o and move to Winter Quarters, Nebraska. John and his brother Andrew br ou ght their families in wagons across the Mississippi River and then wen t b ack to bring five more families across. Christina delivered a baby so on a fter they arrived. They were staying in a one room building with twe nty p eople. Unfortunately, the baby girl died due to exposure and cold w eather . Christina herself almost died. Blacksmiths were sorely needed to help repair the wagons for the cross c o untry trek and crops were needed to store up for food for the journey . Be cause of this, John and his family stayed at Winter Quarters until J une 1 849 when they finally set out for Salt Lake City themselves. They t ravele d in the Allen Taylor Company. Caroline was nine years old when they began the trek to Salt Lake. She h a d to walk most of the way because riding in the wagons wasn’t allowed u nl ess someone was sick or injured. She had younger brothers that she ha d t o help take care of and watch over. For the Lytle family, the trip ac ros s the plains was comparatively easier than those who had traveled bef or e them. They were well provisioned and prepared. They had a couple o f mil k cows and Caroline’s mother would put the morning milking in the c hurn a nd put it in the wagon. By evening when they camped there would b e a pa t of butter and sweet buttermilk to drink. Caroline’s older sister , Mar y Jane Lytle, wrote in her autobiography, “When we camped at night , we ma de big bonfires and the young folks sang, danced and played games .” “We s aw great herds of buffalo, and had plenty of meat both fresh an d dried. ” “Of course it was not all sunshine and pleasure, we had some v ery disas trous stampedes, and many dangerous accidents, but take it al l around, w e fared much better than most of the Emigrants who came so ea rly.” They arrived in the Salt Lake Valley October 17 1849. Caroline married Lyman Peters, in April 1856, at the age of sixteen. W e d o not know how Caroline and Lyman met. Lyman Peters was born in Jeffe rson , New York to Alphonso and Mercy Prentiss Peters. He was born May 24 , 183 7 and was the second child in a family of seven children. The famil y move d to Grand Rapids, Michigan when he was young. When he was sevente en year s old, he and a friend ran away. They walked fifty miles to Kalam azoo, Mi chigan hoping to get to the gold rush in California. In Kalamazo o they jo ined a wagon train headed to Utah with the Mormons. His famil y did not kn ow his whereabouts until years later. The wagon train made i t to Salt Lak e City and after his arrival he decided not to continue hi s journey to Ca lifornia. Later he joined the church and was baptized Mar ch 22, 1855. In April 1856, John Lytle and his entire family, including Caroline an d L yman, were called to colonize the Carson Valley in Nevada. They sol d al l of their belongings and moved to establish a home in Nevada. Caro lin e was pregnant during the move and their daughter Harriett was born M arc h 7, 1857 in Nevada. The hopes of starting a colony in Nevada were soon crushed with the thre a t of military invasion in Utah in 1857-58. Brigham Young instructed al l m issionaries who were in Carson Valley, Nevada and San Bernardino, Cal ifor nia, to return to the main body of the church. He also recalled al l missi onaries serving in the United States and Europe as well. Caroline , Lyma n and baby Harriett, along with Caroline’s parents and family, ret urned b ack to Salt Lake City. Two years later, Edgar John Peters, was bo rn to Ca roline and Lyman on March 14, 1859. Times were tough and money not easy to come by. Caroline worked as a dom e stic for the Decker family from 1859 to 1861 in Salt Lake City. In th e 18 60 census it shows she was living with her parents and her two child ren , Harriett and Edgar, with no mention of her husband Lyman. (NOTE - s inc e writing this article we have found a written divorce agreement betw ee n Lyman and Caroline dated the 18 December 1868 in Salt Lake City Utah . C aroline then married Eli Whipple the next day in the Salt Lake Temple .) John Lytles family was called by Brigham Young to the Cotton Mission t o h elp grow cotton and establish the city of St. George Utah in Octobe r 1861 . Caroline and her children, Harriet and Edgar, moved with her par ents an d siblings that year to southern Utah . Lyman Peters became partners with his good friend, John Lehi Ivie, i n a s ilver mine in Utah. In the 1870 and 1880 census, they record Lyma n as liv ing in Sanpete County, Utah where John and Lyman had their silve r mine. T his is where he met his second wife Mary Catherine Barton, wh o was John I vie’s second polygamous wife. She divorced John Ivie and mar ried Lyman Pe ters February 14, 1881. Then Lyman and Mary Catherine move d to Wood River , Idaho. Later he bought a farm in East Fork, Idaho. In 1 888 Mary Catheri ne Barton Peters was involved in a horse accident and di ed a few months l ater. In 1907, one of Edgar’s children, Cornelia, learned where her grandfathe r , Lyman Peters lived and contacted him, through a letter. He was livin g a t the time in Ketchum, Idaho on a ranch. Cornelia persuaded Lyman t o com e and visit the family. In December, he came to St. George and Pin e Valle y where Edgar and his family lived. It is not mentioned, but I ho pe, Harr iet and her family and Caroline as well, also visited with him a t that ti me. He later went back to Idaho. Lyman Peters died October 30 1 923 and i s buried in Hailey, Idaho. It had been nearly 50 years since Harriet and Edgar had seen their fathe r . After moving to St. George and living with her family, Caroline marrie d E li Whipple on December 19, 1868. Caroline was his second wife and El i rai sed her two children as his own. Edgar took the Whipple name, howev er Har riett remained a Peters. Edgar was known to say of Eli Whipple, th at he w as a good father and always assisted him. Caroline and Eli had seven children together; Ivenette Whipple 1869, E l i Whipple Jr. 1871, John Lytle Whipple 1874, Willard Whipple 1876, Char le s Whipple 1878, Leah Caroline Whipple 1880, and Effie Christina Whippl e 1 882. Eli and his first wife, Patience Foster, came to Utah by way of sailin g t hrough the Isthmus of Panama from New York. They settled in Redwood C ity , California, where Eli and Patience went into the store and lumber b usin ess. They soon had three lumber mills and was doing very well, howev er tw o of the mills burnt down and they became discouraged and moved t o Provo , Utah in 1858. In the fall of 1861, Eli and family were called t o the Co tton Mission, and settled in St. George by the first winter. A y ear late r in 1862, Erastus Snow asked Eli and Patience to move to Pine V alley t o set up the first sawmill. Here Eli resumed his lumber and hom e buildin g business which gave him great success. He also bought land and cattle and raised potatoes in Pine Valley. Peop l e often referred to him as being the “Potato King of Utah.” In 1872, h e w as called on a mission to Ohio. Upon his return he started making but te r and cheese. He even has a trail leading to the top of Pine Valley Mo unt ain named after him. He would take his diary herd to the top of the m ount ain via this trail which is today known as the “Whipple Trail.” He s oon b ecame known as one of the wealthiest men in southern Utah. In 1877, Eli married a third wife, Mary Jane Legg with whom he had nin e c hildren. Years later, because of the enforcement, by Federal Marshals, of The Edm u nds-Tucker Act of 1887, Eli had decided he needed to move his familie s an d himself to Mexico. This legislation allowed Federal Marshals to ar res t any man involved with polygamy and put them in jail. Many church me mber s went into hiding, in Mexico, during this time. Patience and Caroli ne re fused to move to Mexico with him. Eli then had to make the hard dec isio n to leave two of his wives and their children. In the spring of 188 7, Ma ry Jane and her children went with Eli to Mexico and Patience and C arolin e stayed in Pine Valley and St. George. Eli died in 1904 in Coloni a Dubla n, Nuevo Casas Grandes, Chihuahua Mexico. He is buried there in t he Colon ia Dublan Cemetery, Colonia Dublan, Chihuahua Mexico. Eli and Caroline had a house in St. George, located at 44 East 100 Sout h . Caroline stayed in that house and continued to raise her children. Wh e n Eli and Mary Jane left, Harriett and Edgar were already married, an d Ca roline’s children with Eli were of the ages 16 to 5 years. In the 19 00 ce nsus, Charles and Effie are still noted as living with Caroline i n her ho me. Charles marries in 1901 and the 1910 census list Effie at ho me stil l taking care of her mother. We learn later that soon after the 1 910 cens us, Effie moved to Salt Lake City and Charles and his family mov ed into C aroline’s home and took care of her. After Caroline passed awa y Charles a nd his family continued to live in the home. No doubt Caroline had many struggles as she continued to raise her fami l y and be involved with the community and her church. Caroline’s fathe r ha d helped build the St. George Temple and before her mother’s death i n 188 1, her parents were both Temple Ordinance workers. Caroline volunte ered a s a Temple Ordinance worker as well. It was noted in Caroline’s ob ituar y that “she had appeared in usual health and gave no sign her end w as nea r. The evening before she ate a hearty supper and remarked durin g the cou rse of the meal that she did not want to suffer a lingering ill ness befor e death came to her and a few short hours afterwards, her desi re was grat ified.” Caroline passed away in her home on Friday morning, December 6, 1912. She is buried in the St. George City Cemetery.	Lytle, Caroline Elida (I153491)
385	Carolyn was born to Don and Norma Lou Whipple, On December 1st, 1946 a t t he Cottage Hospital in Burley, Idaho. Her parents were the best examp le o f people who loved each other and others. They taught our mom how t o lov e unconditionally. I knew she loved me and I think that all of us e ven th e grandkids feel like we were one of her favorites, Mom was good a t makin g me feel special and that is trait I think she got from Grandm a Whipple . She was the first child and grandchild born on both sides of the f a mily so, you can imagine how much everyone spoiled her. She says she wa sn ’t spoiled, she was loved. Mom was the only child for about five years. She prayed daily for sever a l months for a little brother, and finally Glen arrived. Glen was su c h a tease there may have been moments she wasn’t as excited. Despite t h e teasing she loved him so much. Years later Gary was born, she said h e b rought so much joy into their lives . School was easy for mom and she loved it. She loved to read and won mo s t of the spelling bees in her class. Mom continued to read throughout h e r life and even to the very end could out read any one of us, besides m ay be, her dad. She graduated as Salutatorian from Declo High School. Sh e wa s offered a full tuition scholarship to BYU. One day she was walking through the Y center on her way to a class and s h e heard her name called. Mom said, “I looked over and there was a tabl e o f kids from Declo. We talked for a few minutes and then I went on m y way . Later that week I got a call from Dan Gillett asking me to go out . I al ready had a date and I actually had the nerve to say, “You need t o call s ooner next time.” I only meant that I would have liked to go wit h him, bu t Dan took it that I was kind of conceited. Anyway, I guess h e took it a s a challenge and did call back. Our first date was to a BY U basketball g ame. “Surprise! Surprise!” One day while dating dad, mom had an experience that made her think th a t she was going to get hurt. She was quite upset and after spending ti m e fasting and praying, she received a calm, peaceful heart. She said “ I k new that I loved Dan and whatever happened, it would be all right an d I w ould get through it.” A couple of days later she received an Easte r baske t from Dad with a note attached which was signed, “Love, Dan”. Mo m said “ I was so excited and we had a date on Saturday. He was taking m e to the H otel Utah in Salt Lake City for dinner. I found a nice dress a nd went, ne ver dreaming that it was going to be so special. After a nic e dinner, Da n took me to one side of the room and while we were lookin g at the Salt L ake Temple asked me to be his wife for all eternity. I wa s speechless . I just hugged him and he teased me later that he had no id ea whether th at meant yes or no. I was so happy that I walked on air fo r the rest of t he school year.” They were married 47 years ago in the Id aho Falls Templ e on July 20, 1967. She graduated with a degree in Home Economics Education, magna cum laud e , from BYU in May 1970. She was valedictorian of her college. Educati o n was really important to mom. Mom and Dad were excited for a family, but they had a hard time gettin g s tarted. When they found out they were expecting they were elated. I t too k so long for Tara to come that they were pleasantly surprised whe n 18 mo nths later Becky was born. This time the nine months didn’t see m that lon g. Mom and dad were so excited to finally have a son, when Sha ne was born . A few years later Mom had a difficult time having Laurie an d we almos t lost them both. The doctor told mom and dad they should no t have any mo re children. About a year later mom learned she was expecti ng again. Sh e was nervous about having another child but soon got over t hat and was e xcited about it. When I was born, Mom said, “Heavenly Fathe r knew we need ed Lisa.” At one time during Mom’s journey as a mother sh e found it diffi cult to get things done and was going through a hard tra nsition. After ha ving a discussion with Dad, her attitude changed. Mom s aid, “Since then w henever it seemed that there were things that I just h ad to do that I cou ldn’t because of lack of time, I would think of the s cripture from Eccles iastes 3:1. “To everything there is a season, an d a time to every purpos e under heaven.” I feel like this scripture beca me a theme for mom and ev en during her years of being sick she realize d it was her time to get thi ngs done and worked hard to prepare her fami ly for her death. She wrote h er own extensive personal history and compi led her parents and grandparen ts histories, what a treasure to us. Our mom was an amazing mother. Everything she did was for us and makin g s ure we were happy. If she knew we needed something she would go witho ut s o that we could have it. Dad would assign everyone chores and late r woul d find Mom helping them. She would say, “I would rather help the m or do i t myself than have them be unhappy.” Mom didn’t even get tha t mad, whe n Becky and Shane snuck into the Christmas presents year afte r year afte r year. Two summers of our childhood were spent cutting down trees in the Sawtoo t h Mountain Range. We would haul firewood and sale it. Mom stayed at th e c amp with Shane and Tara. Dad Becky, Laurie and I left to take a loa d dow n the mountain. The truck broke down on the way back up the mounta in whe n we were still over an hour away from camp. We were stuck and did n’t kno w exactly what to do. I said, “If I yell loud enough, Mom will co me.” W e did get help and sure enough mom came down the next morning beca use w e hadn’t returned. I think that sums up how we feel about our Mothe r . Mom taught Home Economics a little bit before Tara was born and then w a s able to stay home. After her family was complete, mom decided to go b ac k to school so that she could teach English. This allowed her to teac h Hi gh School in Burley after Dad got a job as a principal. She taugh t ther e until she retired. One of the experiences I had when mom was m y teache r was that she was giving us an assignment… She was a good teach er who tr uly loved her students. She had a knack for rooting for the und erdog, an d had a tender heart for those that needed more support and lov e . In 2001, Mom was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. From her history it say s , “On October 18th I went to the doctor for the results of the biopsy a n d of course, it was not good. That dreaded “C” word. Fortunately on Oct ob er 19th I had already planned to go to Laurie’s to help with her new b ab y after she came home from the hospital. It was there that I had anoth e r epiphany. I was holding Jamie and Abbey both on my lap and both had g on e to sleep and I realized how blessed I was. I knew everything would b e a lright. Those few days with those two cute little girls grounded me a nd g ave me peace so I could face what was ahead.” And so began a long ba ttl e with Cancer. She had surgery scheduled almost immediately and start ed c hemo not long after that. It is difficult to know how hard this wa s for h er to go through. Mom said,”One of the things that helped me thr ough thi s time was having my little Sam there.” He would spend lots o f time sitt ing with her and just made her feel happier and better . Dad had always wanted to serve a mission with Mom. Mom was struggling wi t h the idea of leaving us and the grandkids. Mom and Dad went on a chur c h history trip to Nauvoo. Along the way, they stopped at the Willie Han dc art site. Mom said,”While standing looking at the grave the powerful t hou ght went through my mind, that if they could do what they did and di e fo r the gospel, I could leave my home and serve a mission.” Once she k new i t was what Heavenly Father wanted her to do, she never had anothe r doubt . This is the way she did everything. Mom and Dad were called t o work wit h the youth on a CES mission. My parents were teachers and lov ed workin g with the kids. Mom was excited when they received this call a nd loved e very minute in Alabama. Spending time together as a family has always been important to Mom an d D ad. They started planning a cousin’s week every summer. Mom always ha d cr afts and fun things for the kids to do. They look forward to our tim e tog ether every year. They love coming to Papa and Grandma’s house. M y dad lo ves to tease the kids, and on one occasion was teasing Kenzie, m y 1 yea r old niece, that he was going to get her, she looked at him an d in a ver y clear voice stated, “I want my Grandma!” This was her very f irst senten ce. Mom loved to read to the kids, she must have read severa l of the book s hundreds of times. Mom loved to have the grandkids com e to her house . She planned yearly Easter egg hunts, fun talent shows, a nd sent Valenti nes cards with two dollar bills. Mom served in different callings in the church including young wom e n’s, relief society, and in the temple. She loved the people that she s er ved with. Mom and dad served in the temple after their mission. They s erv ed in this calling until mom was too sick with cancer. When she was d iagn osed for the second time with cancer she told us not to pray for he r to g et better but to pray for us and her to have the strength to get t hroug h the times ahead. Mom was okay with dying. When I think of my mom I think of someone that cared deeply for everyon e . She always had a kind word to say about them. She made the world a be tt er place. She was an amazing mother. Things that were important to u s wer e important to her. I knew that I was loved. Her home was always we lcomin g and fun. There is a saying that hangs in our home, it says, “M y house i s clean enough to be healthy, and messy enough to be happy.” M y cousin to ld us that this made an impression on her growing up, moms ho me was a pla ce she felt like she could be herself. Our home was not alwa ys perfect bu t it was happy. Towards the end of mom’s life she told Glen that she would not change an y thing about her life… she and Dad had a wonderful life together Written By Carolyn's Daughters Becky, Laurie, & Lisa	Whipple, Carolyn (I162554)
