  Hannah Jones Bailey & Her Family Life History Written by Hannah's daughter Elizabeth Yeates Hannah Jones Bailey, daughter of Joseph Jones and Jane Parry, was born A p ril 9, 1853 at Tuney Grew, North Wales. When she was very young, the Mo rm on elders laboring in their native land visited her home. After a tim e he r parents were converted to the gospel. Her parents had a strong des ire t o come to Zion. Mother said a tin box was tacked on their wall, an d ever y penny that could be spared was placed in this box. After long sa crific e and waiting, the day arrived for them to bid farewell to the lan d of th eir birth. They set sail on the Signe of Shore. After eight weeks , they l anded in New York Harbor. They settled in Thomas, a small town in Pennsylvania. Her father secur e d work at his old trade, mining. They saved their intended journey to t h e valleys of the mountains in Utah. Then the Civil War began, and moth e r remembered how she and her brothers and older sister would keep watc h w hile their father slept; they were afraid the officers would take he r fat her off to war. Their home was always open to the elders, as it wa s in th e old country. George Q. Cannon and Levi Garrett visited with the m a grea t deal. The family remained there for six years. They had many hardships. Two of their babies were buried there. On Apr i l 1, 1856, her father was badly injured in the mine when a large rock f el l on his back. He was completely buried, and it was a long time befor e th e miners were able to release him. His back was broken and one arm a lmos t severed. The doctor said that he would surely die. Mother sent fo r th e elders, and they administered to him and promised him he would liv e t o reach the Promised Land. He was almost instantly healed. In July 1861, they began their long journey across the plains in Capta i n Horn’s company. On October 1, 1861, they arrived in Salt Lake City. M ot her had walked almost the entire distance-she was eight years of age. After staying in Salt Lake City for three weeks, her father secured wo r k on a ranch at Mountain Dell. He worked for Ephraim Hins and stayed th er e one year. In 1862 they moved to Wellsville, where mother grew to young womanhood . S he told of going out into the wheat fields, gleaning wheat. She bea t th e wheat out of the stalks, cleaned it, and sold it for calico to mak e a d ress. She helped make hats out of the straws and skinned and spun y ard t o help clothe here younger brothers and sisters. She told of how sh e spu n on shares all one winter and spring to get enough linsey to mak e hersel f a dress. She was a Sunday School teacher and member of the cho ir in th e early sixties. On April 4, 1870, she was married to Charles R. Bailey in the Endowmen t H ouse in Salt Lake City. She was his third wife, and she bore six son s an d three daughters. Her oldest son died before he was four years of a ge. Mother was an excellent homemaker, a very good cook, and one who knew h o w to make the most of what she had to do with. She was very religious . I n 1882 a great tragedy came into her life when the Edmunds Act was pa ssed , and it became unlawful for her husband to live with her. Those wh o reme mber that terrible time know what the brothers and sisters who ha d embrac ed the principle of plural marriage had to endure. At one time , mother le ft her home for almost a year, and my brother. Luther, was ju st 11 days o ld. Mother had moved three times during those 11 days. It wa s only throug h the mercy of our Father in Heaven that her life was spare d. Luther was hidden until he was three years of age. Mother, like the majo r ity of the faithful women of the church, kept faith in the work of th e Lo rd. She was a Relief Society teacher for many years in the Wellsvill e War d and spent much of her time with the sick. In 1900 she moved to Logan where she might have her son, Lawrence, und e r the care of good doctors and give him a chance to attend college. H e ha d a long sickness and underwent three operations and had to have a b one r emoved from his leg. Doctors were at a loss to know how to care fo r the v ictims of that dread disease (rheumatism). She was the chaplain o f the Jo seph Smith Camp of The Daughters of Utah Pioneers for four years . She wa s called and set apart by the stake president to go out among th e sick an d minister to them. The night was never too cold or stormy fo r her to hel p anyone. She was continually giving to those in need. She p assed it thro ugh the back door so that no one would know but herself. Sh e was the matr on for the Cache Valley Hospital for several years. She ha d the gift an d power of giving relief by rubbing when people were in gre at distress an d pain. She did a great deal of temple work. Through muc h perseverance, o n her part, a great number of her dead have had their w ork done. On August 10, 1923, while on a visit to Salt Lake City, she was taken su d denly ill. She returned home and went to my sister Ella’s home. All th a t could be done to relieve her suffering was done. She passed away Sept em ber 18, 1923, at the age of 70 years, 5 months, and 18 days. Before losing consciousness, she asked for all her children to come in t o her room. She gave us her last blessing and bore a testimony to the t ru thfulness of the gospel. She was survived by eight children, 43 grandc hil dren, five great-grandchildren, three brothers, and three sisters. Funeral services were held in the Sixth Ward, at Logan, Utah. A large co n gregation of relatives and friends attended. She was buried in theWells vi lle Cemetery, near her husband and son. My Tribute To My Mother “I fell I had a most wonderful mother. One that was tried, tested an d a p roven daughter of our Father in Heaven, who approved of her life an d wa s well pleased with her works of life.” Elizabeth B. Yeates A Granddaughter’s Recollections Written by Hannah’s granddaughter Dorothy Smith Evans I remember the pretty dress she wore with the “dickey” in front, hig h u p under her chin, with lace on it. She always wore a gold chain wit h a go ld watch given to her on her 50th birthday by her family. Grandmother was an excellent cook. I remember her patty shells filled wi t h creamed chicken; they would melt in your mouth. No one ever visited h e r and came away without a bite to eat. I remember her feather bed, puffed up high, and what fun it was to spe n d a night with her and sleep on that soft, fluffy bed and sink down i n th e feathers. I also remember being told of the sleepless nights she spent trying to c o mfort Lawrence when he suffered with his leg. When she would get him t o s leep she didn’t move for fear she would wake him, and with his leg s o nea r hers, she didn’t move when he was at ease. Sometimes in the morni ng sh e could hardly move from the cramped position she had held for so l ong. I remember the wonderful family dinners held at her home, the grown-up s e ating first and the children thinking they would never get through . I rem ember thinking we would starve before it was our turn. I also remember my mother telling that after grandfather and grandmoth e r were married in Salt Lake City, they went to ZCMI to get her some ne w s hoes, and the clerk told grandmother to ask her “father” how he like d th e shoes. Addendum Hannah gave birth to nine children, six boys and three girls. The fir s t child, Edward, lived only four years. All of the others lived to matu ri ty and married.
