| Notes |
- Priscilla was the 5th child born to Sarah Priscilla and Joseph. Sever a l months before she was born, Priscilla’s family moved from Provo to Lo ga n. This was during the winter and while the family built a dugout whe r e they could live, all 7 of them lived in their wagon. Fortunately, th e y moved into their dugout shortly before Priscilla was born .
Priscilla was just 2 years old when her mother and baby sister, Mary, di e d. Her older sister, Elizabeth, looked after Priscilla, as much a s a n 8 year-old sister could. Neighbors tried to help out but what a tr ia l it must have been for these 2 young girls (as well as the rest of th ei r family) to lose their mother.
The Church Authorities advised that widowers should meet and become acqu a inted with marriageable women coming to Utah. So Joseph and a neighbo r wi dower made the journey to Salt Lake City and found new wives. Josep h mar ried Elizabeth Ann Goddard Wood, a widow with 2 daughters, when Pri scill a was 5 years old.
When Priscilla was 18, her father was called on a church mission to Engl a nd.
She married Thomas Nelson Rowland at age 21. He was a construction fore m an who helped build many railroad bridges in Utah, Idaho and Montana . H e was very kind to Priscilla and their children and although his wor k kep t him away from the family much of the time, when he did come hom e “it wa s a great day” as he would bring home a big sack of oranges fo r one daugh ter and a sack of bananas for the other—a great treat in thos e days, the n he would open his valise and present each of the family mem bers wit h a special gift.
Priscilla had 5 children—but only one son and one daughter lived to adul t hood. One died the same day he was born, the next one died around 1 ye a r old, and her next child (the daughter she is pictured with) died at a g e 17.
