Biographical Sketch of Luella Whipple Gilchrist Wilson, My Mother
by Lyall Wilson

Luella Whipple, fourth child of Edson Whipple and Mary Beth Whipple, w a s born in Lehi on 10 January 1888 at the family home on 1st East and 4 2 7 North. The home, like so many homes built at that time, was construct e d of adobe. It was a two-story building facing east with the living ro o m and bedroom downstairs and two bedrooms upstairs. There was a built- o n lean-to on the back or west side. This was made of lumber outside an d l ined with adobe inside, then plastered, which made a well-insulated k itch en, cool in the summer and warm in the winter. This is where the peo ple s pent most of their time indoors at that time, in the kitchen with t he bi g coal stove complete with a warming oven above the cooking surfac e an d a water reservoir on the side to warm water by the stove, which ca me i n handy for washing the face and hands and for many other little thi ngs t hat needed a bit of warm water. It was an unwritten law that if yo u too k a gallon of water out, you put that much back in at once for th e next p erson. Just outside the back door of the kitchen was a root cell ar wit h a rock foundation, a packed earthen floor and earth or dirt fro m some f ield forming a huge mound over the whole cellar. There was a doo r on th e south side for easy entrance.

The things that I have always loved about these kitchens, they were ve r y clean and comfortable and had a large table with a tablecloth coveri n g it. It seems that whenever you came into one they had the smell of go o d cooking and fresh bread and in some cases fresh made coffee. I can re me mber Grandmother Whipple’s kitchen as if it were yesterday.

Luella or Ella as she was known by her friends and relatives, grew u p i n Lehi attending the Ross and Central schools. Mother was a very pret ty , well-liked person and very popular with her fellow students while at ten ding school. Mother and her first husband John Gilchrist were schoo l swee thearts. And they spent a lot of time together. They even held han ds whil e on their way to school or back home. Mother graduated from th e Centra l School completing the eighth grade. The students then, or mayb e I shoul d say at that time, went over to American Fork and took their f inal exami nations test in the American Fork’s school. They held their gr aduating ex ercises in the American Fork Tabernacle, as a matter of fac t Lehi, Americ an Fork, Alpine, and Pleasant Grove all held their graduat ion exercises a t the same time in the same place. They had high school s just starting t o get organized at that time but I can’t find out if mo ther went to hig h school.
Mother married John Gilchrist on 8 November 1905. She wasn’t quite 18 a n d her husband John was a little older than 19. He wasn’t old enough t o b e married without his parents’ consent so his father signed the marri ag e license giving them his consent. They went to Provo 2 November and a ppl ied for a marriage license then on 8 November they were married in th e Sa lt Lake Temple for time and eternity. Mother had three children fro m thi s marriage. Miriam, born 21 September 1906, Bruce, born 22 Octobe r 1908 , who died the same day, and John Cameron, born 20 September 1909 . Mother ‘s husband passed away 11 October 1909 at the age of 23, from ty phoid fev er, just three weeks after Jack was born. In just four years’ t ime Mothe r had had three children, lost her second child, and her husban d. This wa s a tragedy in itself, but the hard times were yet to come . A young wido w at that time had nowhere or anyone to turn to, except he r relatives, fo r help. They had very few job opportunities, cooking fo r ranchers or cons truction workers, taking in borders, or perhaps housek eeping. So to put i t bluntly, they were between a rock and a hard place . I’ll add a little m ore to the story while I’m at this time in Mother’ s life. Her father pass ed away 22 February 1909, at the age of 56, leavi ng her mother with fiv e children at home. Grandmother Whipple was 44 a t this time. It is safe t o say that Grandmother Whipple and John Gilchri st’s folks tended to the c hildren whenever mother could find work durin g this time. John, her husba nd, and his father had built a home next t o his father’s place. This woul d be at 750 N. 3rd E. His father gave the m the property and helped to bui ld the home. When John died, the propert y was still in his father‘s name . They sold the home and gave the mone y to mother. When the freeway was b uilt through Lehi, in later years, th e home was torn down to make way, bu t her father in law’s home is stil l standing and in good condition. Mothe r went to Idaho for a short tim e about this time in her life, and staye d with her uncle Leo Jacob‘s an d her aunt Zena Woodhouse. The rest of th e time she made ends meet the b est she could .
Mother was a widow just over four years until she met dad and was marri e d to him 21 January1913. I could not pinpoint where the Wilson family m ov ed to when they came back to Lehi. Sister Miriam says they lived acros s t he street from the Gilchrist home and my cousin Albert said they liv e jus t east of there. So it is safe to say that Dad saw Mother when sh e was ma rried, and later when she was a widow. Dad was two years younge r than sh e was. Mother and Dad went to Provo and applied for the marriag e license , then came back to Provo bench and were married there on the b ench whic h is now known as Orem. Mother was 25 at this time and Dad wa s 23, but Da d put his age down on the marriage license as 24. This was 2 1 January 191 3.
Before I go any further with this story maybe I should describe Mothe r t o you when she was married to Dad. My sister, who knew her well, tell s m e Mother had a lot of pride and dignity and was pretty and stylish wh en s he dressed up. She had hazel-colored eyes and pretty chestnut brow n hair . She was better looking than her sisters and was about 5’6” tal l and wa s of slender build. She liked to read and was well-informed o n a lot of s ubjects. She could laugh and have a good time but was more s erious in he r outlook on life. She had a gift of writing and could and d id give talk s or teach, and she also took part in several plays in her y ounger years.
Mother and Dad lived in two or three homes after they were married an d r eturned to Lehi. I was born in one just east and north of the Fourt h War d church on 25 August 1913 and brother Dean was born in Lehi, 5 Jan uary 1 916. Dad worked around the Lehi area wherever he could find work . At Merc ur, Toyclift, on a sugar processing plant in the north east cor ner of Pro vo and for Uncle Monroe whenever he needed help. Jack (or Came ron as we a lways called him) only lived with Mother and Dad a short tim e then he ret urned to his grandfather’s home (Robert Gilchrist), to liv e with his gran dparents. Dad found work in Magna at the Arthur Mill a s a carpenter in 19 17 which was during World War I. Dad‘s brother Bill m oved there the sam e time. Perhaps the two families moved out there toget her. I don’t know a t this time if they did, but I do know that Mother an d Uncle Bill never d id get along too well. We lived in a rented house o r two before Dad and M other bought their home on First West where we liv ed for the next 12 year s that we were in Magna. I can remember one insta nce when we were in a re nted home, I was sitting on a wooden porch facin g south. I had found a ha mmer and a few nails and had sat down and naile d my pant legs down on th e wooden porch. When I couldn’t get up I reall y made a lot of noise. Moth er came out to see what was wrong and everyon e got a good laugh out of it .

Miriam was with us in Magna but Jack was still with his grandparents bec a use Dad could not get along with him because he reminded him so much o f h is father, John. Jack did spend some of his vacations in Magna durin g th e summer and some of the holidays however and Mother wrote letters t o hi m which he has kept a few as mementos. I always looked forward to hi s vis its because he was my big brother and have always liked him so much . Moth er and Dad seemed to get along well together because I can remembe r the m going to dances and parties in Magna and picnics in the summer a t Sarat oga and down to Provo in a horse and buggy they borrowed from unc le Hi An derson.

When we moved into the house on First West, the ward house was directl y a cross the road from our house. We lived on the west side and the war d hou se was on the east side. This building was a wooden structure quit e lon g and narrow. They held their service in the west end and their cla ssroom s were in the east end. There was an annex just off the chapel o n the nor th side. This was used for small get togethers like parties an d bizarres .

Mother has always been a vague memory to me. I can just remember bits a n d pieces about her while I was a child before we lost her so I’ll put d ow n some things that come to mind. They probably won’t be in the order t he y happened but maybe they will help you know her a little bit, like on e S unday morning when we were getting ready for Sunday school and I ha d to p ut on a pair of knickers, which I hated with a passion, I asked Mo ther ho w old I had to be before I could wear regular pants. She though t for a mi nute then said, “when you are 12 years old we will get you a p air.”
Mother and Miriam were quite active in the church organizations and th e y probably had a job in one of these, in this ward at this time. The sa cr ament bread was made and brought to the meetings by the members of th e wa rd and it was quite an honor when it came your turn to bring a few s lice s of bread for the sacrament services. Mother and Miriam would fus s ove r this bread until it was just right then they would wrap it in a c lean n apkin and away we would go to church. I can remember one fine summ er even ing sitting on the front steps of our home listening to the congr egatio n singing one of their hymns. It was warm and they had open the do ors an d windows and their voices carried across the road to where I sat . I coul d tell by the way they sang they were enjoying every word an d I can remem ber the song. It was “Come Come Ye Saints.”

They started to build a new ward house just before Gayln was born. Th i s was in 1922. The new building was on the north side of the old one wi t h the space of about 50 feet between the two buildings. On June 10, 192 2 , brother Gayln was born. I can remember running all over the neighborh oo d telling the neighbors we had a new baby brother at our house. It pro bab ly wasn’t as much of a surprise to them as it was to me. Dad wante d a gir l because of some of the things he and Mother talked about when t hey didn ’t know I was listening.

Dad got a car about this time of our lives and after showing it off to t h e neighborhood we all loaded into it one day and went to Lehi to show t h e car off to our relative and after showing it off to the neighborhoo d w e all loaded into it one day and went to Lehi to show the car off t o ou r relations and some of Dad‘s friends. We had left Mother home for s ome r eason and when we returned home after dark we found her sitting i n the da rk in the kitchen beside the kitchen stove crying. We all gather ed aroun d her to find out the reason she was feeling so bad. She wiped h er eyes a nd said she had wanted to go with us so badly just to see her f olks onc e again.

Dad always smoke cigarettes and sometimes a cigar which I don’t think Mo t her approved of. Dad didn’t smoke in the house. He would leave the ciga r s and cigarettes out on the back porch on a 2 x 4 just inside the scre e n partition as we came in the door. He did this in respect of Mother , I a m sure.

Mother and Uncle Joe Wilson always got along good together. I can rememb e r going out to Ophir on a train with mother and Dean for a visit and ag ai n after we got the car, Dad drove out there. Mother and Aunt Pearl vis ite d while Dad, Uncle Joe, his son Sherman, and I went down the canyon a nd o ut on the sagebrush flats and shot jack rabbits which we skinned an d brou ght back to the house and the women cooked them for supper .

A few weeks before Bud (Llewellyn) was born, Mother came down with a co l d. It must’ve been a bad one because Mrs. Bezzant, who was a nurse an d li ved two houses south of us, was helping her fight it. They went t o a doct or in Magna for help but he brushed this cold off as a minor thi ng. Whe n the baby was on the way they called this doctor and had quit e a hard ti me getting him to come help with the baby. When he finally di d arrive, h e gave Mother ether even when she told him she didn’t want t o use it an d didn’t want it. The ether drove the cold and congestion dee per into Mot her’s lungs until she developed pneumonia. Once again they t ried to get t he doctor to come help but he wouldn’t. Finally at Mrs. Bez zant’s insiste nce, Dad got the doctor from the Magna Mills to come to lo ok at Mother. W hen he saw her and examined her a little bit, he sent he r right into th e St Marks Hospital in Salt Lake, but by then Mother wa s so bad she onl y lived about six hours.

They took mother from St. Mark’s down to the Lehi mortuary. They held t h e viewing in grandmother Whipple’s living room and the funeral in the L eh i First Ward chapel. As I can remember, it was a large funeral. It see m s like all of Lehi was there. We sat down in front with flowers and ros e s all around us and with the organ playing hymns from the song book. Fr o m that day until this, the smell of roses and organ music makes me abo u t half sick. After the services, we all went up to the Lehi cemetery a n d Mother was placed beside her first husband, John Gilchrist. Mother pa ss ed away February 20, 1924 and the funeral services were held the 23r d o f February. She left a five day old son (Llewellyn), Gayln, Dean, mys elf , Jack Gilchrist, and sister Miriam, also Dad who was 34 years old a t thi s time. And mother was in the prime of her life. She was just 36 ye ars ol d the month before this sad day.

Vern George Whipple, an Autobiography
1902-1991

I was born in Lehi, Utah, the ninth Child of Edson and Mary Beck Whipp l e 10 January 1902. In my early life I had the usual amount of accid e n t s and sicknesses. I cut myself, bruised myself, broke my arm an d c u t m y trigger finger off. I lost my finger in the cogs of the famil y wa s hin g machine. I was always daring. As my sister, Delilah, was tur ni n g th e machine, I stuck my finger near the cogs thinking she would s hu s h me aw ay. But she didn’t see me and the cogs grabbed my finger an d pu l led it i n. I caught every contagious disease as they came along . meas l es, mumps, chicken pox, etc., I’ve had them all. With all the sc ho o l I missed fr om these sicknesses, I wasn’t held back for which I wa s a lw ays thankful.
The loss of my finger wasn’t much of a handicap, however, except in pl a y i ng marbles. I couldn’t shoot straight. When the older people wou l d s e e my finger, they would tell me, “There is one consolation, you w il l ne ve r have to go in the Army”. Well, I Didn’t, but later joined th e N avy. W hen I was seven our home was saddened by the sickness and deat h o f o ur fa ther. He passed away 26 February 1909 at the age of 56. Th e old e r Child ren were already working. My mother worked to support u s young e r ones an d as we became old enough, we also worked to help sup port our se lves. I w orked on the farm and later in the mines and othe r places s o t hat I coul d buy my clothes and go to school in the winter .
In my Childhood and school days we had lots of fun. I had my brothe r s a n d there were so many boys in the neighborhood, the Merrills, Kirk ha ms, Gu dmundsens, Fotheringhams, Crabbs and many others. We all love d t o r oam t he fields and hills. this was always fun for me and I stil l lov e t he gre at out-of-doors, roaming the hills, hunting and fishing . Had m y f ather l ived, I am sure we would have enjoyed doing these thi ngs toge ther. He, l ike many Lehi men, did considerable mining and prosp ecting i n th e hills a nd mountains near Lehi.
All through my younger life I was what is known as painfully bashfu l . W h en I was in the fifth grade they had double seats. The boys sat t og eth e r and the girls together. One day at the beginning of class Mis s Ha rwo o d announced, to my horror, that she was going to seat the boy s wit h th e g irls. I though of leaving the room and not coming back, bu t on s econ d th ought I knew this wouldn’t do. There was just no escape . When s h e got t o me, who did she seat me with? Why, the prettiest gir l in th e r oom. I was scared to death and reluctantly I took my books an d chang e d seat s. The next day, to make things worse, Miss Harwood, for m her de s k said, “Lela, why don’t you move over and give Vern more room , he is h a lfway o ut in the aisle”. Lela was very nice and very friendl y, however . She di d much to relieve my bashfulness during the remainde r of the y e ar. I wa s still a long ways from being cured. At 16 I start ed goin g t o dances. My sister taught me how, then I got up enough coura ge to a s k the othe r girls. I loved to dance and went to all of the m I could . I was neve r known to be forward but wasn’t painfully bashfu l anymore.
I attended grade school and high school and then went to one yea r a t t h e University of Utah, but I couldn’t make enough money during t he s umm e r to take me thru the next school year, so I was forced to qui t . A fe w y ears later when I had saved enough money, I went to Chicag o an d gradu ate d from an Electrical Trade School. I worked there for tw o yea rs gett in g experience in my trade. I came back to Utah and in 193 7 my g ood mot he r passed away at the age of 72. I have always been grat eful fo r her m an y sacrifices for us. She taught us to honor the priest hood an d that w e s hould keep the commandments that our Father in Heave n has gi ven us.
I worked for a while as an operator in the Lehi Municipal Power Plan t . A t the beginning of World War II, I went to the Small Arms Plan t i n S alt L ake as an Electrician. In September of 1942 I enlisted in t he N avy. Whe n I went in for my physical examination I went through th e whol e p roces s without them noticing my trigger finger until I was t o be fin gerp rinted. I asked the man which finger he wanted me to use. H e becam e ex cited a nd wanted to know how I got through. He told me to w ait an d wen t out t o find out about it. He soon came back and said he t hough t it wo uld be a lright. I was sure it would be.
I went through boot training at Farragut, Idaho, then was sent to Ma r e I s land, California. While awaiting a ship to be assigned to I ser v e d a s a shore patrolman in San Francisco. We had to patrol the toug h se c tio n of the City. It was a good experience for me, but I didn’t l ik e i t muc h.
I was assigned to a large submarine tender. We went to the South Pac i f i c where I served 18 months and during this time had the privileg e o f vi si ting many of the beautiful island of that region. I was disch arge d i n Oc tober 1945.
