567	Dennis Giles Written By Dorothy May Benson My grandfather, Dennis Giles was born 17 August 1886 in Holden, Utah a n d was the second of six children and his parents were Joseph Riley Gil e s and Polly Frances Harmon. He came from pioneer heritage. His materna l g randfather, Appleton Milo Harmon built the roadometer which was attac he d to the wheel of a wagon and was used to measure the distance travele d b y the pioneers. His family was sent to Toquerville, Washington County , Ut ah by Brigham Young – then because of extreme heat which was disagre eabl e to them they moved to Holden, Utah and that is how they happened t o b e living in that place when Dennis was born. The family moved to Lehi, Utah where Dennis met Rhoda Winnifred Thomas a n d they were married 12 December 1906 and had four children: Ardith, Dar y l Harmon, Leda and Phyllis. I understand that Dennis father ran a black sm ith shop in Lehi, then Dennis had it when the automobile came into bei n g and he converted it into an automobile repair shop. He was very musical and in the early 1900’s there was a band called th e L ehi Silver Band which became very famous. Dennis played the trombon e in t he band and also conducted the band at times. In 1926 he moved to southern California and lived in Huntington Park, Ca l ifornia where he worked as an automobile mechanic. In the following years his children got married and he became a grandfat h er. Ardith married Frederick Brown May on March 3, 1932 and their child re n were: Robert Giles May, Marian Joyce May, Dorothy Jean May and Richa r d Dennis May. Daryl married Blanche Jeannette Richardson on June 17, 19 3 5 and their children were: Leda Jeannette Giles and Linda Claire Giles . L eda married Alvin Edgar Duncombe on August 7, 1940 and their childre n wer e: Joan Duncombe and Alvin Paul Duncombe. Phyllis married Russell V incen t Peterson on October 10, 1938 and their children were: Judith An n Peters on, Carol Jean Peterson, Janalee Peterson, Julia Lynn Peterson , Russell V incent Peterson Jr., and Rita Gay Peterson. His wife Rhoda Winnifred Thomas died from breast cancer in January 194 8 a fter a number of years of X-Ray, radium and treatment the specialist s cou ld give to her. She is buried in Lehi, Utah. After the death of his wife he went to Washington and Oregon to visit h i s sisters, Mabel and Helen and while there he renewed an acquaintance w it h Ann Johnson Tamian whom he had known back in Lehi. They were marrie d o n September 18, 1948 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Ann was a very accomplished pianist, violinist and accordion player. I r e member Dennis and Ann played beautiful music together. I remember that the family would get together for Grandpa Giles birthd a y which came in August and meet at the home of our aunt who had swimmi n g pool in her backyard and it a very enjoyable family activity. Dennis Giles died on 20 April 1969 in Huntington Park, California an d h e is buried in Lehi, Utah.	Giles, Dennis (I207)

569	Description of Home I grew up in Meadow, Utah, population 190 people. We lived in a two bedr o om frame house located on the same four-acre town lot that we shared wi t h Grandma Dame. Grandma’s house was a small two-bedroom home made of r e d brick, and her pride and joy. The lot was divided up into a large cor ra l, pasture, garden area, and two orchards. This was in addition to lar g e door yards around each home. The corral was equipped with a barn, pi g p ens, chicken coop, and granaries. The area around the homes was well organized and virtually self sufficie n t. The orchard provided apples, pears, walnuts, and goose berries. Oh , an d I must not forget: grandma’s peppermint for tea. The gardens provi ded c orn, tomatoes peas, cucumbers, potatoes, carrots, radishes, lettuce , aspa ragus, and rhubarb. It also provided a lot of hard work. The corr als an d pasture area housed and partially fed the animals which provide d milk , beef, pork, chicken, butter, and eggs. The door yards were adorn ed wit h large beautiful flower gardens which were the pride of Mom and G randma . The family had a great deal of pride in how things looked. Wash Day In fact this was taken to great lengths at times: for instance, on was h d ay. Washing was a big production before automatic washers. Several la rg e tubs were used in sequence. First a tub with lye soap in it: The soa p h ad to be cut in small pieces so it would dissolve in the water. The n ther e was a rinse tub and tubs with bluing. Each article of clothing h ad to b e agitated and wrung out by hand several times as it went throug h the pro cess. Well anyway it was a matter of great pride to get your wa shing ou t on the line first on wash day. Also the appearance of the was h was ver y important. Tradition had developed on just how each piece wa s hung: han ging the wash was no haphazard affair. Each category Of cloth ing had to h ang together and in strict order, such as first all the shee ts, then al l the towels, etc. Making Soap The family was self-sufficient in many other ways. I mentioned lye soa p , well it was home made. Every spring Mom would take all the lard, bac o n rinds, and grease drippings which they had been saving all year, an d ma ke soap. They would take a large cast iron pot out into the corral a nd ha ng it on an A frame. They would then fill it full of the lard, thro w in s everal cans of lye and build a large fire under it. That big pot hanging over the fire always reminded me of a witch’s cauld r on. Anyway, it would boil all day until the mixture started to get stri ng y. I remember Mother dipping in a spoon then holding the spoon over th e p ot slowly dripping the contents back into the pot to check it’s progr ess . When these drips would form long strings it was ready. They would s ki m off all the debris and then strain the mixture. After the mixture co ole d it was poured into forms, making a cube three inches on a side. After a few days of drying in the sun, the cubes of soap were knocked o u t of the frames and placed on drying tables. The soap would be left t o dr y in the sun for several days until it was dry all the way through . Mother Reay Mother was very active in the church and she had her primary focus on se r ving her Father in Heaven. She held many callings but she seemed to ha v e a gift for teaching and was frequently called to teach. She had lon g sh iny brown hair that came down to the middle of her back when she le t it d own. She kept her long hair though out her life. I recall when sh e woul d wash her hair and dry it. She would go into the sunlight and lea ning fo rward and slowly combing it until it was dry. She would then care fully ma ke it into two long braids which she fashioned into a crown arou nd her he ad. It was something she took joy in. She loved her flower gardens and she would work tirelessly and would ha v e beautiful roses and geraniums. I don’t remember her asking us to wor k b ut anything we felt like doing we did and then we would go off to pla y. S he never insisted that we work with her. I look back and wished tha t I ha d done more. Taking Care of Sarah Rebecca Dame My Grandmother Grandmother lived in the red brick house on the corner and she was menta l ly ill. She would sometimes just wander off and someone would always ha v e to be with her to watch her. We kids would take turns sleeping at Gra nd mas to make sure she was kept safe . Sometimes she would get out of the house without us knowing, but she did n 't get far before someone in town would come and tell us where she was . W e would drop everything and run to find her before she could get hurt . I t would take quite a while for us kids to get her back home. She woul d so metimes grab on to something and refuse to let go. Well we would si t ther e until she decided to let go. Other times she would just drag he r feet a nd insist that her back was broken. Taking care of Grandma wa s a great bl essing for us kids because we got a chance to serve. It is interesting to note that many people of that time thought that men t al illness was inherited and that no one wanted their kids to marry you r s if they knew that there was someone in the family who was mentally il l . Grandma felt that one day she may end up like her mother. She had a s pe cial bedroom prepared in such event that was equipped with locks and i t s own heating system. Of course she never needed it but she did not wa n t to be a burden. Friends --Loa Stewart Loa lived on the same town block with us. We had a hole through the fen c e so that we could go back on fourth without the need to climb over . I re member one of our favorite places to play was around the base of t he ha y derrick. The derrick was constructed out of large poles that wer e eigh t inches in diameter. These poles were laid in a square attached a t the c orners. There was a pole that laid over the center of the rectang le bisec ting it through the center forming two large rectangular opening s which w e pretended were the outline of our homes. She would work i n a portion o f the base and me in mine. We would mark out the enclosed s pace with scra p wood and make pretend rooms and we played there most o f summer. Herding Cows One of my more pleasant duties as a child was herding cows. I would wa l k behind the cows with a switch and direct them out to a nearby wildern es s area and let the cows graze on the new spring grasses. Mom would ha v e me pack a sandwich and I would lie down in the shade and just watch t h e clouds and in my mind imagine seeing all sorts of things. Sometimes o n e of my friends would be herding some cows nearby and we would get toge th er to eat lunch. It was just very laid back, a very slow idyllic child hoo d. Going To Church The Church was the focus of not only our spiritual lives but also our fo c us for culture, fun and games. We would have traveling shows and orches tr as which would always serve as an excuse for a town to have party or g e t together. The Church events were also highly integrated with the scho ol s and we would put on plays, relief society bazaars, and dances with t h e music provided by the Meadow band. In the garden was a long row of asparagus and rhubarb. At that time it w a s called pie plant. One day our neighbor boy, Melvin Duncan, came ove r t o our house, knocked on the door, and asked if he could get some rhub arb . My brother, Fay, answered the door, and said, “Sure can.” He looke d i n the cupboard and the medicine cabinet. He couldn't find any, so h e wen t back to the door and asked, “What did you bring to get it in/” Me lvin h eld up a gunny sack. Fay was flabbergasted and said, “Do you kno w where t hey keep it/” “Sure. Out in the garden.” So they filled the sac k with fre sh rhubarb. Going to Warm Springs One of our favorite summer time activities was going to Warm Springs a n d we would manage to get there at least once a week. I recall it bei n g a very informal thing. Someone would get their horse drawn hay wago n wh ich we called a hay rack and then they would drive around town and h olle r out that they were going to warm springs. Anyone that wanted to wo uld r un out and jump on the slow moving wagon . We would visit, sing and generally have a party just getting there whi c h would take about an hour and a half. I don’t ever remember anybody b ei ng overly concerned about the safety aspect of these trips. There seem e d to be an inherent trust that everyone would look out for each other . W e then would return having just as much fun as we had going there. No bod y ever got hurt or was drowned--the Lord must have assigned several h ard - working guardian angles that kept us safe.	Dame, Rebecca Jane (I5229)

Gail is affectionately known as Opa to hi s grandc hildren. He was pleased to receive his son and his seven grandso ns into t he Eagle's Nest, and to help support his grandsons and two gran ddaughter s on their LDS missions. Dad's greatest legacy to us is his exa mple of se rvice, love, and hard work. He helped support his parents thro ughout thei r lives. Each year he grew a beautiful garden and shared th e harvest. Hi s neighbors continue to express their appreciation for hi s unselfish hel p in their yards and homes. Gail graduated from Millard High School as the student body president .

In 19 39 , armed with an academic scholarship, a bicycle, his father's best jer se y cow, a sack of flour, and some bottled peaches, he made his way to B A C in Cedar City, where he earned his Associate's Degree. He graduated f ro m Utah State University with his Bachelor's Degree, and later, from th e U niversity of Nevada with his Master's Degree. Gail served his countr y a s a pilot in the U.S. Army Air Force during World War II. From 1949 t o 19 85, his employment was with Vocational Rehabilitation. He loved hi s clien ts, and helped many handicapped people become trained for and rec eive job s. In 1966, he was named State, Regional, and National Rehabilit ation Cou nselor of the Year. Dad served God by living a life of honesty and integrity and by servin g i n many capacities in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints . Som e of his callings include Bishop, Stake President, and four mission s wit h his sweetheart: England Coventry, Cedar West Stake, Church Employ ment C enter, and The St. George Temple. Dad loved family history, and pr oduce d the book, "Ancestors and Descendants of James Alonzo and Jessie A nn Dun can." Through his efforts, hundreds of his kindred dead have recei ved the ir temple blessings. Gail was truly a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfa t her. All of us have tender memories of fishing and camping trips, fami l y gatherings, and reunions that he so lovingly organized.

571	Despite the biblical prohibition on sexual relations between half-brothe r s and sisters, (Leviticus 18:11) Amnon had an overwhelming desire for T am ar. He acted on advice from his cousin, Jonadab the son of Shimeah, Da vid 's brother, to lure Tamar into his quarters by pretending to be sic k an d desiring her to cook a special meal for him. While in his quarters , an d ignoring her protests, he raped her, then had her expelled from hi s hou se. King David was angry about the incident, but could not bring hi msel f to punish his eldest son, while Absalom, Amnon's half-brother an d Tamar 's full brother, nursed a bitter grudge against Amnon for the rap e of hi s sister. Two years later, to avenge Tamar, Absalom invited all of David's son s t o a feast, then had his servants kill Amnon after he had become drun k wit h wine. (2 Samuel 13)	Amnon (I64851)
