Lizzie Andrew Borden was born July 19, 1860, in Fall River, Massachusett s , to Sarah Anthony Borden (née Morse; 1823-1863) and Andrew Jackson Bor de n (1822-1892). Her father, who was of English and Welsh descent, gre w u p in very modest surroundings and struggled financially as a young ma n, d espite being the descendant of wealthy and influential local residen ts. H e eventually prospered in the manufacture and sale of furniture an d caske ts, then became a successful property developer. He was a directo r of sev eral textile mills and owned considerable commercial property; h e was als o president of the Union Savings Bank and a director of the Dur fee Safe D eposit and Trust Co. At his death his estate was valued at $30 0,000 (equi valent to $9,000,000 in 2020).
Despite his wealth, Andrew was known for his frugality. For instance, t h e Borden home lacked indoor plumbing although that was a common accommo da tion for wealthy people at the time. It was in an affluent area, but t h e wealthiest residents of Fall River, including Andrew's cousins, gener al ly lived in the more fashionable neighborhood, "The Hill", which was f art her from the industrial areas of the city.
Borden and her older sister, Emma Lenora Borden (1851-1927) had a relati v ely religious upbringing and attended Central Congregational Church . A s a young woman she was very involved in church activities, includin g tea ching Sunday school to children of recent immigrants to the Unite d States . She was involved in Christian organizations such as the Christ ian Endea vor Society, for which she served as secretary-treasurer, and c ontemporar y social movements such as the Women's Christian Temperance Un ion (WCTU) . She was also a member of the Ladies' Fruit and Flower Missio n.
Three years after the death of Lizzie Borden's mother Sarah, Andrew marr i ed Abby Durfee Gray (1828-1892). Lizzie stated that she called her step mo ther "Mrs. Borden" and demurred on whether they had a cordial relation shi p; she believed that Abby had married her father for his wealth. Brid ge t Sullivan (whom they called Maggie), the Bordens' 25-year-old live-i n ma id who had immigrated to the U.S. from Ireland, testified that Lizzi e an d Emma rarely ate meals with their parents. In May 1892, Andrew kill ed mu ltiple pigeons in his barn with a hatchet, believing they were attr actin g local children to hunt them. Lizzie had recently built a roost fo r th e pigeons, and it has been commonly recounted that she was upset ove r hi s killing of them, though the veracity of this has been disputed . A famil y argument in July 1892 prompted both sisters to take extende d "vacations " in New Bedford. After returning to Fall River, a week befo re the murder s, Lizzie chose to stay in a local rooming house for four d ays before ret urning to the family residence.
Tension had been growing within the family in the months before the murd e rs, especially over Andrew's gifts of real estate to various branche s o f Abby's family. After their stepmother's sister received a house, th e si sters had demanded and received a rental property (the home they ha d live d in until their mother died) which they purchased from their fath er fo r $1; a few weeks before the murders, they sold the property back t o thei r father for $5,000 (equivalent to $144,000 in 2020). The night be fore th e murders, John Vinnicum Morse, the brother of Lizzie's and Emma' s deceas ed mother, visited and was invited to stay for a few days to dis cuss busi ness matters with Andrew. Some writers have speculated that the ir convers ation, particularly about property transfer, may have aggravat ed an alrea dy tense situation.
For several days before the murders, the entire household had been viole n tly ill. A family friend later speculated that mutton left on the stov e t o use in meals over several days was the cause, but Abby had feared p oiso ning, as Andrew had not been a popular man.

Body of Andrew Borden, August 4, 1892
John Morse arrived in the evening of August 3 and slept in the guest ro o m that night. After breakfast the next morning, at which Andrew, Abby , Li zzie, Morse and the Bordens' maid Bridget "Maggie" Sullivan were pre sent , Andrew and Morse went to the sitting room, where they chatted fo r nearl y an hour. Morse left around 8:48 A.M. to buy a pair of oxen an d visit hi s niece in Fall River, planning to return to the Borden home f or lunch a t noon. Andrew left for his morning walk sometime after 9 A.M.
Although the cleaning of the guest room was one of Lizzie's and Emma's r e gular chores, Abby went upstairs sometime between 9:00 A.M. and 10:30 A .M . to make the bed. According to the forensic investigation, Abby was f aci ng her killer at the time of the attack. She was first struck on th e sid e of the head with a hatchet which cut her just above the ear, caus ing he r to turn and fall face down on the floor, creating contusions o n her nos e and forehead. Her killer then struck her multiple times, deli vering sev enteen more direct hits to the back of her head, killing her.
When Andrew returned at around 10:30 A.M., his key failed to open the do o r, so he knocked for attention. Sullivan went to unlock the door; findi n g it jammed, she uttered a curse. She would later testify that she hea r d Lizzie laughing immediately after this; she did not see Lizzie, but s ta ted that the laughter was coming from the top of the stairs. This wa s con sidered significant as Abby was already dead by this time, and he r body w ould have been visible to anyone on the home's second floor. Liz zie late r denied being upstairs and testified that her father had aske d her wher e Abby was, and she had replied that a messenger had delivere d Abby a sum mons to visit a sick friend.
Lizzie stated that she had then removed Andrew's boots and helped him in t o his slippers before he lay down on the sofa for a nap (an anomaly con tr adicted by the crime-scene photos, which show Andrew wearing boots). S h e then informed Sullivan of a department store sale and permitted he r t o go, but Sullivan felt unwell and went to take a nap in her bedroo m inst ead.
Sullivan testified that she was in her third-floor room, resting from cl e aning windows, when just before 11:10 A.M. she heard Lizzie call from d ow nstairs, "Maggie, come quick! Father's dead. Somebody came in and kill e d him." Andrew was slumped on a couch in the downstairs sitting room, s tr uck ten or eleven times with a hatchet-like weapon. One of his eyes ha d b een split cleanly in two, suggesting that he had been asleep when att acke d. His still-bleeding wounds suggested a very recent attack. Dr. Bow en, t he family's physician, arrived from his home across the street to d etermi ne that both victims had died. Detectives estimated his death ha d occurre d at approximately 11:00 A.M.
Investigation
Lizzie Borden's initial answers to the police officers' questions wer e a t times strange and contradictory. Initially she reported hearing a g roan , or a scraping noise, or a distress call, before entering the house . Tw o hours later she told police she had heard nothing and entered th e hous e not realizing that anything was wrong. When asked where her step mothe r was, she recounted Abby receiving a note asking her to visit a si ck fri end. She also stated that she thought Abby had returned and aske d if some one could go upstairs and look for her. Sullivan and a neighbor , Mrs. Chu rchill, were half-way up the stairs, their eyes level with th e floor, whe n they looked into the guest room and saw Abby lying face do wn on the flo or. Most of the officers who interviewed Borden reported th at they dislik ed her attitude; some said she was too calm and poised. De spite her "atti tude" and changing alibis, nobody bothered to check her f or bloodstains . Police did search her room, but it was a cursory inspect ion; at the tri al they admitted to not doing a proper search because Bor den was not feel ing well. They were subsequently criticized for their la ck of diligence.
In the basement, police found two hatchets, two axes, and a hatchet-he a d with a broken handle. The hatchet-head was suspected of being the mur de r weapon as the break in the handle appeared fresh and the ash and dus t o n the head, unlike that on the other bladed tools, appeared to have b ee n deliberately applied to make it look as if it had been in the baseme n t for some time. However, none of these tools were removed from the hou se . Because of the mysterious illness that had stricken the household be for e the murders, the family's milk and Andrew's and Abby's stomachs (re move d during autopsies performed in the Borden dining room) were teste d for p oison; none was found. Residents suspected Lizzie of purchasing ' hydrocya nic acid in a diluted form' from the local drugstore. She defend ed that s he inquired about the acid, so she could clean her furs (despit e the loca l medical examiner's testimony that it did not have antisepti c properties ).
Lizzie and Emma's friend, Alice Russell, decided to stay with them the n i ght following the murders while Morse spent the night in the attic gue s t room (contrary to later accounts that he slept in the murder-site gue s t room). Police were stationed around the house on the night of Augus t 4 , during which an officer said he had seen Borden enter the cellar wi th R ussell, carrying a kerosene lamp and a slop pail. He stated he saw b oth w omen exit the cellar, after which Borden returned alone; though h e was un able to see what she was doing, he stated it appeared she was be nt over t he sink.
On August 5, Morse left the house and was mobbed by hundreds of people ; p olice had to escort him back to the house. On August 6, police conduc te d a more thorough search of the house, inspecting the sisters' clothin g a nd confiscating the broken-handled hatchet-head. That evening a polic e of ficer and the mayor visited the Bordens, and Lizzie was informed tha t sh e was a suspect in the murders. The next morning, Russell entered th e kit chen to find Borden tearing up a dress. She explained that she wa s planni ng to put it on the fire because it was covered in paint. It wa s never de termined whether it was the dress she had been wearing on th e day of th e murders.
Inquest
Borden appeared at the inquest hearing on August 8. Her request to hav e h er family attorney present was refused under a state statute providin g th at an inquest must be held in private. She had been prescribed regul ar do ses of morphine to calm her nerves, and it is possible that her tes timon y was affected by this. Her behavior was erratic, and she often ref used t o answer a question even if the answer would be beneficial to her . She of ten contradicted herself and provided alternating accounts of th e mornin g in question, such as saying she was in the kitchen reading a m agazine w hen her father arrived home, then saying she was in the dinin g room doin g some ironing, and then saying she was coming down the stair s. She als o said she removed her father's boots and put slippers on him , while poli ce photographs clearly showed him wearing his boots.
The district attorney was very aggressive and confrontational. On Augu s t 11, Borden was served with a warrant of arrest and jailed. The inque s t testimony, the basis for the modern debate regarding her guilt or inn oc ence, was later ruled inadmissible at her trial in June 1893. Contempo ran eous newspaper articles noted that Borden possessed a "stolid demeano r" a nd "bit her lips, flushed, and bent toward Attorney Adams;" it was a lso r eported that the testimony provided in the inquest had "caused a ch ange o f opinion among her friends who have heretofore strongly maintaine d her i nnocence." The inquest received significant press attention natio nwide, i ncluding an extensive three-page write-up in The Boston Globe . A grand ju ry began hearing evidence on November 7, and Borden was indi cted on Decem ber 2.
Trial and acquittal
Lizzie Borden during the trial, by Benjamin West Clinedinst
Borden's trial took place in New Bedford starting on June 5, 1893. Prose c uting attorneys were Hosea M. Knowlton and future United States Suprem e C ourt Justice William H. Moody; defending were Andrew V. Jennings, Mel vi n O. Adams, and former Massachusetts governor George D. Robinson. Fiv e da ys before the trial's commencement, on June 1, another axe murder oc curre d in Fall River. This time the victim was Bertha Manchester, who wa s foun d hacked to death in her kitchen. The similarities between the Man cheste r and Bordens' murders were striking and noted by jurors. However , Jose C orrea de Mello, a Portuguese immigrant, was later convicted of M anchester 's murder in 1894, and was determined not to have been in the v icinity o f Fall River at the time of the Borden murders.
A prominent point of discussion in the trial (or press coverage of it) w a s the hatchet-head found in the basement, which was not convincingly de mo nstrated by the prosecution to be the murder weapon. Prosecutors argue d t hat the killer had removed the handle because it would have been cove re d in blood. One officer testified that a hatchet handle was found nea r th e hatchet-head, but another officer contradicted this. Though no blo ody c lothing was found at the scene, Russell testified that on August 8 , 1892 , she had witnessed Borden burn a dress in the kitchen stove, sayi ng it h ad been ruined when she brushed against wet paint. During the cou rse of t he trial, defense never attempted to challenge this statement.
Trial jury that acquitted Borden
Lizzie Borden's presence at the home was also a point of dispute durin g t he trial; according to testimony, Sullivan entered the second floor o f th e home at around 10:58 A.M. and left Lizzie and her father downstair s. Li zzie told several people that at this time, she went into the bar n and wa s not in the house for "20 minutes or possibly a half an hour" . Hyman Lub insky testified for the defense that he saw Lizzie Borden lea ving the bar n at 11:03 A.M. and Charles Gardner confirmed the time. At 1 1:10 A.M., Li zzie called Sullivan downstairs, told her Andrew had been m urdered, and o rdered her not to enter the room; instead, Borden sent he r to get a docto r.
Both victims' heads had been removed during autopsy and the skulls wer e a dmitted as evidence during the trial and presented on June 5, 1893. U po n seeing them in the courtroom, Borden fainted. Evidence was exclude d tha t Borden had sought to purchase prussic acid (hydrogen cyanide) pur ported ly for cleaning a sealskin cloak, from a local druggist on the da y befor e the murders. The judge ruled that the incident was too remote i n time t o have any connection.
The presiding Associate Justice, Justin Dewey (who had been appointe d b y Robinson when he was governor), delivered a lengthy summary that su ppor ted the defense as his charge to the jury before it was sent to deli berat e on June 20, 1893. After an hour and a half of deliberation, the j ury ac quitted Borden of the murders. Upon exiting the courthouse, she to ld repo rters she was "the happiest woman in the world".
The trial has been compared to the later trials of Bruno Hauptmann, Eth e l and Julius Rosenberg, and O.J. Simpson as a landmark in publicity an d p ublic interest in the history of American legal proceedings.
Speculation
Although acquitted at trial, Borden remains the prime suspect in her fat h er's and stepmother's murders. Writer Victoria Lincoln proposed in 196 7 t hat Borden might have committed the murders while in a fugue state. A noth er prominent suggestion was that she was physically and sexually abu sed b y her father, which drove her to kill him. There is little evidenc e to su pport this, but incest is not a topic that would have been discus sed at t he time, and the methods for collecting physical evidence woul d have bee n quite different in 1892. This belief was intimated in loca l papers at t he time of the murders, and was revisited by scholar Marci a Carlisle i n a 1992 essay.
Mystery author Ed McBain, in his 1984 novel Lizzie, suggested that Bord e n committed the murders after being caught in a tryst with Sullivan. Mc Ba in elaborated on his speculation in a 1999 interview, speculating tha t Ab by had caught Lizzie and Sullivan together and had reacted with horr or an d disgust, and that Lizzie had killed Abby with a candlestick. Whe n Andre w returned she had confessed to him, but killed him in a rage wit h a hatc het when he reacted exactly as Abby had. McBain further speculat es that S ullivan disposed of the hatchet somewhere afterwards. In her la ter years , Borden was rumored to be gay, but there was no such speculati on about S ullivan, who found other employment after the murders and late r marrie d a man she met while working as a maid in Butte, Montana. She d ied in Bu tte in 1948, where she allegedly gave a death-bed confession t o her siste r, stating that she had changed her testimony on the stand i n order to pr otect Borden.
Another significant suspect is John Morse, Lizzie's maternal uncle, wh o r arely met with the family after his sister died, but had slept in th e hou se the night before the murders; according to law enforcement, Mors e ha d provided an "absurdly perfect and overdetailed alibi for the deat h of A bby Borden". He was considered a suspect by police for a period.
Others noted as potential suspects in the crimes include Sullivan, possi b ly in retaliation for being ordered to clean the windows on a hot day ; th e day of the murders was unusually hot-and at the time she was stil l reco vering from the mystery illness that had struck the household. A " Willia m Borden", suspected to be Andrew's illegitimate son, was noted a s a poss ible suspect by writer Arnold Brown, who surmised in his book Li zzie Bord en: The Legend, the Truth, the Final Chapter that William had t ried and f ailed to extort money from his father. However, author Leonar d Rebello di d extensive research on the William Borden in Brown's book a nd was able t o prove he was not Andrew Borden's son. Although Emma had a n alibi at Fai rhaven, (about 15 miles (24 km) from Fall River), crime wr iter Frank Spie ring proposed in his 1984 book Lizzie that she might hav e secretly visite d the residence to kill her parents before returning t o Fairhaven to rece ive the telegram informing her of the murders.
Later life
After the trial, the Borden sisters moved into a large, modern house i n T he Hill neighborhood in Fall River. Around this time, Lizzie began us in g the name Lizbeth A. Borden. At their new house, which Lizbeth dubbe d "M aplecroft", they had a staff that included live-in maids, a housekee per , and a coachman. Because Abby was ruled to have died before Andrew , he r estate went first to Andrew and then, at his death, passed to hi s daugh ters as part of his estate. A considerable settlement, however, w as pai d to settle claims by Abby's family.
Despite the acquittal, Borden was ostracized by Fall River society. He r n ame was again brought into the public eye when she was accused of sho plif ting in 1897 in Providence, Rhode Island. In 1905, shortly after a n argum ent over a party that Lizbeth had given for actress Nance O'Neil , Emma mo ved out of the house and never saw her sister again.
Death
Borden was ill in her last year following the removal of her gallbladde r ; she died of pneumonia on June 1, 1927, in Fall River. Funeral detail s w ere not published and few attended. Nine days later, Emma died from c hron ic nephritis at the age of 76 in a nursing home in Newmarket, New Ha mpshi re, having moved to this location in 1923 both for health reasons a nd t o avoid renewed publicity following the publication of another boo k abou t the murders. The sisters, neither of whom had ever married, wer e burie d side by side in the family plot in Oak Grove Cemetery.
At the time of her death, Borden was worth over $250,000 (equivalent t o $ 4,998,000 in 2020). She owned a house on the corner of French Stree t an d Belmont Street, several office buildings, shares in several utilit ies , two cars and a large amount of jewelry. She left $30,000 (equivalen t t o $600,000 in 2020) to the Fall River Animal Rescue League and $500 ( $10, 000 in 2020) in trust for perpetual care of her father's grave. He r close st friend and a cousin each received $6,000 ($120,000 today)-subs tantia l sums at the time of the estate's distribution in 1927 and numero us frie nds and family members each received between $1,000 ($20,000 in 2 020) an d $5,000 ($100,000 in 2020). | Borden, Lizzie Andrew (I87701)

Louis Alexander Mountbatten, 1st Marquess of Milford Haven, GCB GCV O K C M G PC (24 May 1854 – 11 September 1921), formerly Prince Louis Ale xand er of Battenberg, was a British naval officer and German prince rela ted t o members of the British Royal Family.
Although born in Austria, and brought up in Italy and Germany, he enroll e d in the United Kingdom's Royal Navy at the age of fourteen. Queen Vict or ia and her son King Edward VII, when Prince of Wales, occasionally int erv ened in his career: the Queen thought that there was "a belief tha t t h e Admiralty are afraid of promoting Officers who are Princes on acc ount o f he radical attacks of low papers and scurrilous ones". However , Louis w elcomed battle assignments that provided opportunities for hi m to acquir e the skills of war and to demonstrate to his superiors tha t he was serio us about his naval career. Posts on royal yachts and tour s arranged by th e Queen and Edward actually impeded his progress, as hi s promotions wer e perceived as royal favors rather than deserved.
After a naval career lasting more than forty years, in 1912 he was appoi n ted First Sea Lord, the professional head of the British naval service . W ith World War I looming, he took steps to Ready the British fleet fo r co m bat, but his background as a German prince forced his retirement o nce t he war began, when anti-German sentiment was running high. He chang ed hi s name and relinquished his German titles, at the behest of King Ge orge V , in 1917.
He married a granddaughter of Queen Victoria, and was the father of Lou i s Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, who also served as Firs t Se a Lord from 1954 to 1959. Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, consor t of Qu een Elizabeth II, is his grandson. | von Battenberg, Louis Alexander 1st Marquess of Milford Haven (I43931)

Louis the Pious (778-20 June 840), also called the Fair, and the Debonai r e, was the King of the Franks and co-Emperor (as Louis I) with his fath er , Charlemagne, from 813. He was also King of Aquitaine from 781.
As the only surviving adult son of Charlemagne and Hildegard, he becam e t he sole ruler of the Franks after his father's death in 814, a positi on w hich he held until his death, save for the period 833-34, during whi ch h e was deposed.
During his reign in Aquitaine, Louis was charged with the defence of t h e empire's southwestern frontier. He conquered Barcelona from the Musli m s in 801 and asserted Frankish authority over Pamplona and the Basque s so uth of the Pyrenees in 812. As emperor he included his adult sons, L othai r, Pepin, and Louis, in the government and sought to establish a su itabl e division of the realm among them. The first decade of his reign w as cha racterised by several tragedies and embarrassments, notably the br utal tr eatment of his nephew Bernard of Italy, for which Louis atoned i n a publi c act of self-debasement.
In the 830s his empire was torn by civil war between his sons, only exac e rbated by Louis's attempts to include his son Charles by his second wi f e in the succession plans. Though his reign ended on a high note, wit h or der largely restored to his empire, it was followed by three years o f civ il war. Louis is generally compared unfavourably to his father, tho ugh th e problems he faced were of a distinctly different sort.
«b»Birth and rule in Aquitaine«/b»
Louis was born while his father Charlemagne was on campaign in Spain , a t the Carolingian villa of Cassinogilum, according to Einhard and th e ano nymous chronicler called Astronomus; the place is usually identifie d wit h Chasseneuil, near Poitiers. He was the third son of Charlemagne b y hi s wife Hildegard. His grandfather was King Pepin the Younger.
Louis was crowned King of Aquitaine as a child in 781 and sent there wi t h regents and a court. Charlemagne constituted the sub-kingdom in orde r t o secure the border of his kingdom after the destructive war agains t th e Aquitanians and Basques under Waifer (capitulated c. 768) and late r Hun ald II, which culminated in the disastrous Battle of Roncesvalles ( 778) . Charlemagne wanted his son Louis to grow up in the area where he w as t o reign. However, in 785, wary of the customs his son may have bee n takin g in Aquitaine, Charlemagne sent for him to Aquitaine and Louis p resente d himself at the Royal Council of Paderborn dressed up in Basqu e costume s along with other youths in the same garment, which may have m ade a goo d impression in Toulouse, since the Basques of Vasconia wer e a mainstay o f the Aquitanian army.
In 794, Charlemagne settled four former Gallo-Roman villas on Louis, i n t he thought that he would take in each in turn as winter residence: Do ué-l a-Fontaine in today's Anjou, Ebreuil in Allier, Angeac-Charente, an d th e disputed Cassinogilum. Charlemagne's intention was to see all hi s son s brought up as natives of their given territories, wearing the nat iona l costume of the region and ruling by the local customs. Thus were t he ch ildren sent to their respective realms at so young an age. Each kin gdom h ad its importance in keeping some frontier, Louis's was the Spanis h March . In 797, Barcelona, the greatest city of the Marca, fell to th e Franks w hen Zeid, its governor, rebelled against Córdoba and, failing , handed i t to them. The Umayyad authority recaptured it in 799. However , Louis mar ched the entire army of his kingdom, including Gascons with t heir duke Sa ncho I of Gascony, Provençals under Leibulf, and Goths unde r Bera, over t he Pyrenees and besieged it for two years, wintering ther e from 800 to 80 1, when it capitulated. The sons were not given independ ence from centra l authority, however, and Charlemagne ingrained in the m the concepts of e mpire and unity by sending them on military expeditio ns far from their ho me bases. Louis campaigned in the Italian Mezzogiorn o against the Beneven tans at least once.
Louis was one of Charlemagne's three legitimate sons to survive infanc y . He had a twin brother, Lothair who died during infancy. According t o Fr ankish custom, Louis had expected to share his inheritance with hi s broth ers, Charles the Younger, King of Neustria, and Pepin, King of It aly. I n the Divisio Regnorum of 806, Charlemagne had slated Charles th e Younge r as his successor as emperor and chief king, ruling over the Fr ankish he artland of Neustria and Austrasia, while giving Pepin the Iro n Crown of L ombardy, which Charlemagne possessed by conquest. To Louis' s kingdom of A quitaine, he added Septimania, Provence, and part of Burgu ndy. However, C harlemagne's other legitimate sons died Pepin in 810 an d Charles in 811 a nd Louis alone remained to be crowned co-emperor wit h Charlemagne in 813 . On his father's death in 814, he inherited the ent ire Frankish kingdo m and all its possessions (with the sole exception o f Italy, which remain ed within Louis's empire, but under the direct rul e of Bernard, Pepin's s on).
«b»Emperor«/b»
While at his villa of Doué-la-Fontaine, Anjou, Louis received news of h i s father's death. He rushed to Aachen and crowned himself emperor to sh ou ts of Vivat Imperator Ludovicus by the attending nobles.
Upon arriving at the imperial court in Aachen, one of Louis' first act s w as to purge the palace of its "filth." He destroyed the old Germani c paga n tokens and texts which had been collected by Charlemagne. He fur ther ex iled members of the court he deemed morally "dissolute," includin g some o f his own relatives.
From start of his reign, his coinage imitated his father Charlemagne's p o rtrait, which gave it an image of imperial authority and prestige. He q ui ckly sent all of his unmarried sisters to nunneries, to avoid any poss ibl e entanglements from overly powerful brothers-in-law. Sparing his ill egit imate half-brothers, he forced his father's cousins, Adalard and Wal a t o be tonsured, placing them in Noirmoutier and Corbie, respectively , desp ite the latter's initial loyalty.
His chief counsellors were Bernard, margrave of Septimania, and Ebbo, Ar c hbishop of Reims. The latter, born a serf, was raised by Louis to tha t of fice, but betrayed him later. He retained some of his father's minis ters , such as Elisachar, abbot of St. Maximin near Trier, and Hildebold , Arch bishop of Cologne. Later he replaced Elisachar with Hildwin, abbo t of man y monasteries.
He also employed Benedict of Aniane (the Second Benedict), a Septimani a n Visigoth and monastic founder, to help him reform the Frankish churc h . One of Benedict's primary reforms was to ensure that all religious ho us es in Louis' realm adhered to the Rule of Saint Benedict, named for it s c reator, Benedict of Nursia (480-550), the First Benedict.
In 816, Pope Stephen IV, who had succeeded Leo III, visited Reims and ag a in crowned Louis (Sunday 5 October).
«b»Ordinatio imperii«/b»
On Maundy Thursday 817 (9 April), Louis and his court were crossing a wo o den gallery from the cathedral to the palace in Aachen when the galler y c ollapsed, killing many. Louis, having barely survived and feeling th e imm inent danger of death, began planning for his succession; three mon ths la ter he issued an Ordinatio Imperii, an imperial decree that laid o ut plan s for an orderly succession. In 815, he had already given his tw o eldes t sons a share in the government, when he had sent his elder son s Lothai r and Pepin to govern Bavaria and Aquitaine respectively, thoug h withou t the royal titles. Now, he Preceded to divide the empire amon g his thre e sons:
* Lothair was proclaimed and crowned co-emperor in Aachen by his fathe r . He was promised the succession to most of the Frankish dominions (exc lu ding the exceptions below), and would be the overlord of his brother s an d cousin.
* Pepin was proclaimed King of Aquitaine, his territory including Gascon y , the march around Toulouse, and the counties of Carcassonne, Autun, Av al lon and Nevers.
* Louis, the youngest son, was proclaimed King of Bavaria and the neighb o uring marches.
If one of the subordinate kings died, he was to be succeeded by his son s . If he died childless, Lothair would inherit his kingdom. In the even t o f Lothair dying without sons, one of Louis the Pious' younger sons wo ul d be chosen to replace him by "the people". Above all, the Empire woul d n ot be divided: the Emperor would rule supreme over the subordinate ki ngs , whose obedience to him was mandatory.
With this settlement, Louis tried to combine his sense for the Empire' s u nity, supported by the clergy, while at the same time providing posit ion s for all of his sons. Instead of treating his sons equally in statu s an d land, he elevated his first-born son Lothair above his younger bro ther s and gave him the largest part of the Empire as his share.
«b»Bernard's rebellion and Louis's penance«/b»
The ordinatio imperii of Aachen left Bernard of Italy in an uncertain a n d subordinate position as king of Italy, and he began plotting to decla r e independence upon hearing of it. Louis immediately directed his arm y to wards Italy, and betook himself to Chalon-sur-Saône. Intimidated b y the e mperor's swift action, Bernard met his uncle at Chalon, under inv itation , and surrendered. He was taken to Aachen by Louis, who there ha d him tri ed and condemned to death for treason. Louis had the sentence c ommuted t o blinding, which was duly carried out; Bernard did not surviv e the ordea l, however, dying after two days of agony. Others also suffer ed: Theodul f of Orléans, in eclipse since the death of Charlemagne, wa s accused of h aving supported the rebellion, and was thrown into a monas tic prison, dyi ng soon afterwards; it was rumored that he had been poiso ned. The fate o f his nephew deeply marked Louis's conscience for the res t of his life.
In 822, as a deeply religious man, Louis performed penance for causing B e rnard's death, at his palace of Attigny near Vouziers in the Ardennes , be fore Pope Paschal I, and a council of ecclesiastics and nobles of th e rea lm that had been convened for the reconciliation of Louis with hi s thre e younger half-brothers, Hugo whom he soon made abbot of St-Quenti n, Drog o whom he soon made Bishop of Metz, and Theodoric. This act of co ntrition , partly in emulation of Theodosius I, had the effect of greatl y reducin g his prestige as a Frankish ruler, for he also recited a lis t of minor o ffences about which no secular ruler of the time would hav e taken any not ice. He also made the egregious error of releasing Wala a nd Adalard fro m their monastic confinements, placing the former in a pos ition of powe r in the court of Lothair and the latter in a position in h is own house.
«b»Frontier wars«/b»
At the start of Louis's reign, the many tribes Danes, Obotrites, Slovene s , Bretons, Basques which inhabited his frontierlands were still in aw e o f the Frankish emperor's power and dared not stir up any trouble. I n 816 , however, the Sorbs rebelled and were quickly followed by Slavomir , chie f of the Obotrites, who was captured and abandoned by his own peop le, bei ng replaced by Ceadrag in 818. Soon, Ceadrag too had turned again st the F ranks and allied with the Danes, who were to become the greates t menace o f the Franks in a short time.
A greater Slavic menace was gathering on the southeast. There, Liudewi t , duke of Pannonia, was harassing the border at the Drava and Sava rive rs . The margrave of Friuli, Cadolah, was sent out against him, but he di e d on campaign and, in 820, his margarvate was invaded by Slovenes. In 8 21 , an alliance was made with Borna, duke of the Dalmatia, and Liudewi t wa s brought to heel. In 824 several Slav tribes in the north-western p art s of Bulgaria acknowledged Louis's suzerainty and after he was reluct an t to settle the matter peacefully with the Bulgarian ruler Omurtag, i n 82 7 the Bulgarians attacked the Franks in Pannonia and regained thei r lands .
On the far southern edge of his great realm, Louis had to control the Lo m bard princes of Benevento whom Charlemagne had never subjugated. He ext ra cted promises from Princes Grimoald IV and Sico, but to no effect.
On the southwestern frontier, problems commenced early when c. 812, Lou i s the Pious crossed the western Pyrenees 'to settle matters' in Pamplon a . The expedition made its way back north, where it narrowly escaped a n am bush attempt arranged by the Basques in the pass of Roncevaux thank s to t he precautions he took, i.e. hostages. Séguin, duke of Gascony, wa s the n deposed by Louis in 816, possibly for failing to suppress or coll aborat ing with the Basque revolt south of the western Pyrenees, so spark ing of f a Basque uprising that was duly put down by the Frankish empero r in Dax . Seguin was replaced by Lupus III, who was dispossessed in 81 8 by the em peror. In 820 an assembly at Quierzy-sur-Oise decided to sen d an expediti on against the Cordoban caliphate. The counts in charge o f the army, Hugh , count of Tours, and Matfrid, count of Orléans, were sl ow in acting an d the expedition came to naught.
«b»First civil war«/b»
In 818, as Louis was returning from a campaign to Brittany, he was greet e d by news of the death of his wife, Ermengarde. Ermengarde was the daug ht er of Ingerman, the duke of Hesbaye. Louis had been close to his wife , wh o had been involved in policymaking. It was rumoured that she had pl aye d a part in her nephew's death and Louis himself believed her own dea th w as divine retribution for that event. It took many months for his co urtie rs and advisors to convince him to remarry, but eventually he did , in 820 , to Judith, daughter of Welf, count of Altdorf. In 823 Judith g ave birt h to a son, who was named Charles.
The birth of this son damaged the Partition of Aachen, as Louis's attemp t s to provide for his fourth son met with stiff resistance from his old e r sons, and the last two decades of his reign were marked by civil war.
At Worms in 829, Louis gave Charles Alemannia with the title of king o r d uke (historians differ on this), thus enraging his son and co-empero r Lot hair, whose promised share was thereby diminished. An insurrectio n was so on at hand.
With the urging of the vengeful Wala and the cooperation of his brother s , Lothair accused Judith of having committed adultery with Bernard of S ep timania, even suggesting Bernard to be the true father of Charles. Ebb o a nd Hildwin abandoned the emperor at that point, Bernard having rise n to g reater heights than either of them. Agobard, Archbishop of Lyon, a nd Jess e, bishop of Amiens, too, opposed the redivision of the empire an d lent t heir episcopal prestige to the rebels.
In 830, at Wala's insistence that Bernard of Septimania was plotting aga i nst him, Pepin of Aquitaine led an army of Gascons, with the support o f t he Neustrian magnates, all the way to Paris. At Verberie, Louis the G erma n joined him. At that time, the emperor returned from another campai gn i n Brittany to find his empire at war with itself. He marched as fa r as Co mpiègne, an ancient royal town, before being surrounded by Pepin' s force s and captured. Judith was incarcerated at Poitiers and Bernard f led to B arcelona.
Then Lothair finally set out with a large Lombard army, but Louis had pr o mised his sons Louis the German and Pepin of Aquitaine greater share s o f the inheritance, prompting them to shift loyalties in favour of the ir f ather. When Lothair tried to call a general council of the realm i n Nijme gen, in the heart of Austrasia, the Austrasians and Rhinelander s came wit h a following of armed retainers, and the disloyal sons were f orced to fr ee their father and bow at his feet. Lothair was pardoned, bu t disgrace d and banished to Italy.
Pepin returned to Aquitaine and Judith after being forced to humiliate h e rself with a solemn oath of innocence to Louis's court. Only Wala was s ev erely dealt with, making his way to a secluded monastery on the shore s o f Lake Geneva. Although Hilduin, abbot of Saint Denis, was exiled t o Pade rborn and Elisachar and Matfrid were deprived of their honours nor th of t he Alps; they did not lose their freedom.
«b»Second civil war«/b»
The next revolt occurred a mere two years later. The disaffected Pepin w a s summoned to his father's court, where he was so poorly received he le f t against his father's orders. Immediately, fearing that Pepin would b e s tirred up to revolt by his nobles and desiring to reform his morals , Loui s the Pious summoned all his forces to meet in Aquitaine in prepar ation o f an uprising, but Louis the German garnered an army of Slav alli es and c onquered Swabia before the emperor could react. Once again the e lder Loui s divided his vast realm. At Jonac, he declared Charles king o f Aquitain e and deprived Pepin (he was less harsh with the younger Louis ), restorin g the whole rest of the empire to Lothair, not yet involved i n the civi l war. Lothair was, however, interested in usurping his father 's authorit y. His ministers had been in contact with Pepin and may hav e convinced hi m and Louis the German to rebel, promising him Alemannia , the kingdom o f Charles.
Soon Lothair, with the support of Pope Gregory IV, whom he had confirm e d in office without his father's support, joined the revolt in 833. Whi l e Louis was at Worms gathering a new force, Lothair marched north. Lou i s marched south. The armies met on the plains of the Rothfeld. There, G re gory met the emperor and may have tried to sow dissension amongst hi s ran ks. Soon much of Louis's army had evaporated before his eyes, and h e orde red his few remaining followers to go, because "it would be a pit y if an y man lost his life or limb on my account." The resigned empero r was take n to Saint Médard at Soissons, his son Charles to Prüm, and th e queen t o Tortona. The despicable show of disloyalty and disingenuousne ss earne d the site the name Field of Lies, or Lügenfeld, or Campus Menda cii, ub i plurimorum fidelitas exstincta est.
On 13 November 833, Ebbo of Rheims presided over a synod in the Churc h o f Saint Mary in Soissons which deposed Louis and forced him to public ly c onfess many crimes, none of which he had, in fact, committed. In ret urn , Lothair gave Ebbo the Abbey of Saint Vaast. Men like Rabanus Maurus , Lo uis' younger half-brothers Drogo and Hugh, and Emma, Judith's siste r an d Louis the German's new wife, worked on the younger Louis to make p eac e with his father, for the sake of unity of the empire. The humiliati on t o which Louis was then subjected at Notre Dame in Compiègne turned t he lo yal barons of Austrasia and Saxony against Lothair, and the usurpe r fle d to Burgundy, skirmishing with loyalists near Chalon-sur-Saône. Lo uis wa s restored the next year, on 1 March 834.
On Lothair's return to Italy, Wala, Jesse, and Matfrid, formerly coun t o f Orléans, died of a pestilence and, on 2 February 835, the Synod o f Thio nville deposed Ebbo, Agobard, Bernard, Bishop of Vienne, and Barth olomew , Archbishop of Narbonne. Lothair himself fell ill; events had tur ned com pletely in Louis favour once again.
In 836, however, the family made peace and Louis restored Pepin and Loui s , deprived Lothair of all save Italy, and gave it to Charles in a new d iv ision, given at the diet of Crémieu. At about that time, the Vikings t err orised and sacked Utrecht and Antwerp. In 837, they went up the Rhin e a s far as Nijmegen, and their king, Rorik, demanded the wergild of som e o f his followers killed on previous expeditions before Louis the Piou s mus tered a massive force and marched against them. They fled, but it w ould n ot be the last time they harried the northern coasts. In 838, the y even c laimed sovereignty over Frisia, but a treaty was confirmed betwe en them a nd the Franks in 839. Louis the Pious ordered the constructio n of a Nort h Sea fleet and the sending of missi dominici into Frisia t o establish Fr ankish sovereignty there.
«b»Third civil war«/b»
In 837, Louis crowned Charles king over all of Alemannia and Burgundy a n d gave him a portion of his brother Louis' land. Louis the German promp tl y rose in revolt, and the emperor redivided his realm again at Quierzy -su r-Oise, giving all of the young king of Bavaria's lands, save Bavari a its elf, to Charles. Emperor Louis did not stop there, however. His dev otio n to Charles knew no bounds. When Pepin died in 838, Louis declare d Charl es the new king of Aquitaine. The nobles, however, elected Pepin' s son Pe pin II. When Louis threatened invasion, the third great civil wa r of hi s reign broke out. In the spring of 839, Louis the German invade d Swabia , Pepin II and his Gascon subjects fought all the way to the Loi re, and t he Danes returned to ravage the Frisian coast (sacking Doresta d for a sec ond time).
Lothair, for the first time in a long time, allied with his father and p l edged support at Worms in exchange for a redivision of the inheritance . A t a final placitum held there, Louis gave Bavaria to Louis the Germa n an d disinherited Pepin II, leaving the entire remainder of the empir e to b e divided roughly into an eastern part and a western. Lothair wa s given t he choice of which partition he would inherit and he chose th e eastern, i ncluding Italy, leaving the western for Charles. The empero r quickly subj ugated Aquitaine and had Charles recognised by the noble s and clergy at C lermont-en-Auvergne in 840. Louis then, in a final flas h of glory, rushe d into Bavaria and forced the younger Louis into the Os tmark. The empir e now settled as he had declared it at Worms, he returne d in July to Fran kfurt am Main, where he disbanded the army. The final c ivil war of his re ign was over.
«b»Death«/b»
Louis fell ill soon after his final victorious campaigns and went to h i s summer hunting lodge on an island in the Rhine, by his palace at Inge lh eim. On 20 June 840, he died, at the old age of 62, in the presence o f ma ny bishops and clerics and in the arms of his half-brother Drogo, th oug h Charles and Judith were absent in Poitiers. Soon dispute plunged th e su rviving brothers into a civil war that was only settled in 843 by th e Tre aty of Verdun, which split the Frankish realm into three parts, t o becom e the kernels of France and Germany, with Burgundy and the Low Co untrie s between them. The dispute over the kingship of Aquitaine was no t full y settled until 860.

Lucile Gardner, our beloved grandmother, was born on September 13th, 19 0 3 in Cedar City, Utah to Nathaniel and Sarah Patience Bracken Gardner ( al so known as Rose). Lucile was the 6th of 11 children. Doing hard wor k wa s part of her upbringing. Lucile was exposed to rural and farm life , wher e she learned to grow and harvest crops, milk cows and feed chicke ns. He r love for growing flowers (particularly roses), and fruits and ve getable s originated in the hard labor performed in her youth.
Lucile was also exposed to good literature, music, writing, sewing and p u blic speaking, all of which she became proficient in .
Lucile married Lewis T. Williams on September 3, 1948 in Salt Lake Cit y . Three children were born to that union: Lewis Keith, who went by Keit h , Russell Gardner and Lucile Marie, who went by Marie. Seventeen year s af ter their civil marriage, Lew and Lucile were sealed to each other a lon g with their children in the Salt Lake Temple.
in 1926, they bought a home at 703 6th Avenue where they lived for 50 ye a rs. Lucile was heavily involved in her children's lives, teaching and h el ping them with their development. She also taught them in Primary onc e pe r week after school. Lucile was also involved in her children's scho ols , serving as a PTA room mother and as PTA president .
Lucile played the piano and instilled in her children a love for music S h e was instrumental in Keith learning to play the trumpet and Russ and M ar ie playing the violin. They were faithfully taken to music lessons an d re quired to practice their instruments.
Lucile served in many church callings; a Relief Society presidency, as S p iritual Living teacher - teaching carefully and prayerfully prepared le ss ons, and on the Stake Sunday School board where she influenced many wh o w ere trying to improve their teaching skills .
As her sons matured, Lucile saw Keith leave home to serve in the Air For c e during World War II. This caused some anxiety for her, as his unit h a d the assignment to patrol the skies for enemy aircraft near Labrado r o n the Canadian East coast. Later she also sent her two sons on missio ns : Keith to the Eastern States mission in 1947 and Russ to the New Engl an d mission in 1948.
The most heart wrenching and devastating experience of her motherhood w a s losing Marie on February 24, 1948 to a rare form of meningitis. Mari e h ad become violently ill and had died within four days. As difficult a s th is was to bury her own daughter, Lucile still lived a productive lif e aft erwards, especially in serving others. But, she anguished in her ow n priv ate way. She never changed things in Marie's room, leaving all o f her bel ongings the way that they were at the time of her death.
Lucile received the Honorary Golden Gleaner Award a few years followin g M arie's death, because of her devotion to many young women, especiall y th e friends of her cherished daughter. Lucile gave counsel and directi on t o the young women and there developed a strong bond of genuine lov e for e ach other.
Lucile's service went beyond church callings. She devoted her talent s t o several organizations. Along with her PTA service, Lucile served o n th e Salt Lake PTA council. She was also a member of the Salt Lake Coun ty o f Women. She had a deep and abiding regard for improving the communi ty an d fostering programs that helped to bring this about .
She was also a member and officer in the local Daughter of the Utah Pion e ers chapter, as well as heavily involved in the Salt Lake County Boar d o f DUP and Central Board. She was a great organizer, problem solver, a nd v ery compassionate in her service.
In her early 70s, Lucile fought a valiant and courageous battle with can c er. A large tumor was found in her stomach, and although it was remove d , the cancer had already spread to other parts of her body. She receiv e d much care from loved ones to make her comfortable, since further medi ca l care was deemed to be fruitless. On September 23, 1975, Lucile passe d a way. Witnesses recalled that, in her final moments, she spoke the wor ds , "Marie, Marie". It was apparent that the Lord had allowed Marie's sp iri t to accompany her mother to the spirit world.

Madge Heppler Peterson Ballif was born April 21, 1906, in Richfield, Sev i er County, Utah. She was not the first child born in her family. Ther e wa s a boy, whom her mother carried full time, but who died at his birt h bec ause of the lack of hospital facilities and the inexperience of doc tors i n those days. Her mother gave birth to eleven children, two died i n infan cy and nine are still living at this date, November 1, 1987. He r father , James Morten Peterson, was the owner of the J. M. Peterson Ban k in Rich field. He was born July 12, 1879 at Richfield, Utah. Louisian a Carrie Hep pler Peterson was born at Glenwood, Utah, July 6, 1883. The y were marrie d in the Salt Lake Temple, November 18, 1903.
Madge's first recollection of being was the day her sister, Leah, was bo r n. The small family was living in the new home at 115 West Center in Ri ch field at the time. She remembers a happy household. Her childhood day s we re carefree and loving. Theirs was one of the prominent families i n town . All of the members of the family had musical talent which they i nherite d from Mama, as they called their mother. They also developed dan cing, ac ting and' athletic tendencies. Madge began singing for church an d civic f unctions early and remembers standing on a chair to be seen a s she sang a t church. She attended grade school and high school in Richf ield except f or her Junior Year. Tn that year she and her cousin, Alta H ansen, went t o the L. D. S. High School in Salt Lake so that they coul d be near the or thodontist who was supervising the straightening of thei r teeth. It was a n interesting year for two young, naive girls who lef t home at such an ea rly age. They were often homesick and missed their f amilies very much. Th ey went back to Richfield for their senior year an d were graduated from h igh school in 1924.
After graduating from high school, Madge went to the B.Y.U. at Provo. Th e re were 1500 students at the college, not as many as a small high scho o l these days. However, it was the starting of a new and exciting life . Un a, her first sister, came with her in her Junior Year and they spen t tw o years living together while they were going to classes, singing fo r th e Program Bureau and enjoying the social life on the campus. When Ma dge g raduated in the Spring of 1928, she was prepared to be a teacher i n P.E. , Drama, Music, and English. She taught one year in Parowan. The n Madge a nd Una went on a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latt er Day Sai nts to the Northwestern States Mission under president Willia m R. Sloan . Their father had been on a mission before he was married, bu t he didn' t believe much in missions for girls. When the bishop asked Ma dge to go , her Papa felt she should stay home to get married because sh e was 23 ye ars old. They decided that if Una could go with her, they wou ld stay onl y one Year instead of Madge's going for two years. Then she w ouldn't be s o old when she returned. So, in July of 1929, the two girl s left for Port land, Oregon. It was another wonderful experience for Mad ge, "an educatio n in itself and I will ever be thankful for those days i n the mission fie ld, where my testimony of the truthfulness of the Gospe l and the knowledg e of the only true church was made known to me.”
During her mission and for a time after she returned, Madge wrote to se v eral Young men. One was Howard Ballif from Whitney, Idaho who had atten de d the 'Y' one year that she was there. He had also been on a mission t o t he Swiss-German Mission. When he returned from his mission he attende d th e University of Idaho at Moscow, Idaho. Madge and Una were companion s i n Spokane, Washington when Howard wrote to Madge and said, "Don't yo u wis h you weren't on your mission or you could come to Moscow to a form al Sig ma Chi dance?" A few days later, president Sloan came to town an d Madge m entioned the dance. He said "You can't go, you're on a mission . However , r can give you a 3 day leave of absence and I have a job fo r you in Mos cow. I've known Howard Ballif's parents for quite some tim e and he's jus t the man for you to marry."
Madge wasn't so sure of that but she did want to go to the dance. So, s h e wrote to Howard and was off to Moscow while Una held down the Mission ar y Fort in Spokane. Madge had a wonderful time and remembers having t o tra ct in house shoes when she returned to Spokane because attending t hree d ances had worn blisters on her feet since she wasn't used to tha t activit y at the time.
When they returned from their missions in the Spring of 1931, Una wen t t o work in the bank and Madge taught seminary in the Junior High Schoo l i n Richfield. In the summer of 1932, she hadn't yet found the man sh e want ed to marry. Howard, who had graduated from the University by the n travel led to Richfield to visit her and she decided that he was the on e she ha d been looking for all along. By Spring they decided to get marr ied. On M arch 21, 1933, Madge's Papa drove them to the Manti Temple. Fir st, they h ad to return to the house to get the marriage license and the n because th ey were hurrying and because it was raining, the car slid of f the road in to a barrow pit. Howard had to get out of the car into th e rain and wal k through the rain and mud to get a farmer to help them. T he farmer hitch ed a team of horses to the car to pull it out.
The Bank had just closed on March 3 and Madge couldn't get the $50 she h a d saved. So, her Papa gave her $20 and her Mama went through her ceda r ch est to give her some bedding and linin. That was the sum total of he r tro usseau. They drove off in Howard's father's car to Preston with th e sli m chance of a job in Boise in the back of their minds. They both th ough t that Howard would be working in the family store in Whitney. Sinc e it w as right in the middle of the Depression, a Bachelor’s Degree in A ccounti ng from the U of I did not help a lot in getting a job.
It was a very snowy March and they remember snow piled as high as the r o of of the car as they went from Logan to Preston. When they arrived i n Pr eston, there was a telegram from J.W. Condie, the Idaho State Superi ntend ent of public instruction, saying that I there might be a job for H owar d in Boise. They boarded the train for an overnight trip to Boise. A fte r arriving in Boise and paying for a nights lodging in the Owyhee Hot el , they were down I to their last few dollars. They got a phone call fr o m Ezra Taft Benson who was the U.S. Government Agricultural Extension A ge nt in Boise. He knew Howard from Preston. He asked, "Do you have a pla c e to live?” When he learned that they didn't, he came over to drive th e m around to find a place to rent. Madge remembers looking at one plac e th at was advertised as having a bathroom which was one main room wit h a toi let in the closet, a small bedroom, and the bathtub was under th e kitche n table. They laugh m about that today and are glad that they go t a plac e with a real bathroom. They did get the job for which they ha d come to B oise. It paid $150 a month and they thought that was grand. T hey had to p ay $15 to a political party because it was a political job b ut they wer e very grateful for anything because of the hard times. Afte r budgeting t heir money carefully, they often had just a few cents left . They saved 25 $ every paycheck and that left nothing for entertainmen t so their main so urce of fun was attending tent revival meetings. The y did without a car f or several years. When they finally bought their fi rst 2nd hand car, a Na sh, they couldn't pay the $268 in cash so for th e first and last time the y made payments on a car. They were proud of th at car, of course, and wer e quite disappointed one day at a public even t when a policeman came up a nd told them to "get this old wreck out of h ere”.
This was just the beginning of a beautiful family experience. Madge an d H oward loved each other very much and tried their best to make each ot he r happy. They put the Gospel principles and their work in the Church f irs t. Their days in Boise were a continuation of their mission activitie s. T he "Church needed a lot of help in those days of growth and they acc epte d the call that came to them and fulfilled them to the best of thei r abil ity. They remember well when the First Ward mi Chapel was built. T he prop erty was purchased at a tax sale for $1250. The building site wa s that o f an old brewery and Howard remembers one of his friends puttin g his shov el in the ground and discovering the old brewery cellar. The C hapel was b uilt at a total cost of $62,000. The family members have man y fond memor ies of the Chapel. Howard served 9½ years in the bishopric o f the Boise F irst Ward and 14½ years as a counselor in the Boise Stake P residency.
Madge was music director for the Ward primary, counselor in the YWMIA St a te presidency, Stake Dance Director, Stake Music Director, Ward Reli e f Society President, and member of the Relief Society Stake Board. As S ta ke Dance Director, she put on Stake Gold and Green Balls for seven yea rs . They were very big productions which gained a reputation for being g al a events. People would come from out of town to attend. She even had p eop le ask months before the dance, when it would be. There were floor sh ows , Royalty, and of course, lots of wonderful dancing.
During this same era, Madge sang for funerals in the different funeral h o mes, and for non-Mormon churches on Sunday morning. She can remember si ng ing lots of sectarian songs for non-Mormon services and funerals. Sh e rem embers as Stake Music Director, discussing with Stake President Ben son th e fact that some of the ward choirs, which she had helped to organ ize, so metime sang sectarian songs. President Benson told her an emphati c "No, t hose songs should not be sung in our meetings". When the new Chu rch Hym n Book came out in 1985. President Benson, now President of the C hurch, w as in her ward in Salt Lake. Madge smiled to herself when the co ngregatio n sang a sectarian song which had been banned earlier, but wa s now in th e hymn book.
Four children were born to Madge and Howard: H. Maurice, April 2, 1934 ; H oward Barr, July 29, 1938; Margot Nan, November 25, 1940; and John Pa ul , December 28, 1943. About 1941, they decided that they needed a new h ous e. They bought a lot on Warm Springs Avenue and then began making arr ange ments for the house. Their application for a loan was turned down be caus e they were only making $175 a month. Very disappointed, they decide d t o give up their house plans. When Howard's boss asked how their plan s wer e going and heard that they couldn't qualify for a loan, he arrange d fo r a raise to $200 a month so that they could get their loan. So, th e hous e building began, and what a grand home they made. In 1952, they d ecide d to add a family room and kitchenette to complete the edifice. Th e nex t 23 years were good ones in the family home. The children remembe r thei r mother as a meticulous housekeeper. She attributes some of the o rderlin ess to her 'best cleaner', Howard. They remember good food such a s the "b read drawer" and "roll drawer" (Barr); mayonnaise and sugar sand wiches an d peanut butter and onion sandwiches (Maury). Another favorite , was the S unday meal of pot roast in a roaster with potatoes and carrot s (Margot an d John Paul). In the Fall, Howard would help Madge get the p eaches into t he jars before he went to work and the children would wak e to the smell o f processing peaches. Bottled peaches was a favorite o f everyone. The chi ldren remember wash day on Monday, a long hard work d ay because of the su d saver and using the water more than once. Clothe s were sprinkled Monda y night or Tuesday morning and Tuesday was ironin g day. Madge was never e xtravagant with clothes, either her own or the c hildren's. They dressed w ell because she took care of the clothing, mend ing, and darning and getti ng all the use out of the clothing. The boys r emember that mother never d id yard work. She encouraged the boys to do i t because they needed the wo rk and she didn't. Table manners were import ant in their home. Howard alw ays cut and served the meat and Madge dishe d up the rest of the meal. Th e children learned good table manners by ex ample. It was very important t o Madge that correct English be spoken i n their home. She always correcte d improper English that was spoken, a h abit which she got from her father . Madge was very good at caring for th e family members when they were sic k. Between some good old fashioned ho me remedies and being willing to spe nd lots of time with the sick person , she was able to pull them through m any illnesses, some serious ones.
Howard started working for the Statesman Newspaper in 1939. He worked t h ere for 24 years. In 1944 Madge and Howard started a business in whic h th ey made a product called Pronto Pups. It was a wiener on a stick, di ppe d in a special batter and deep fried. During the war, they did a boom in g business in a little shop on the docks of Bremerton, Washington. The y u sed to sell 2000 pronto Pups every lunch time. The Government had a p ric e freeze on some items and they could only charge $.15 a Pup. They fe lt t hey needed a quarter so they sued the Government. It didn't do any g ood . The business tapered off after the war but they continued to do th e Pro nto Pups every August when the Western Idaho State Fair came to tow n. The re was many a long hour spent in the Fair booth but again many fon d memor ies.
Another business which they got involved in was a mortuary. As was stat e d earlier, Madge sang for many funerals. Because of their leadership re sp onsibilities, Madge and Howard often, had to prepare bodies of membe r fo r burial in their temple clothes. They were often ridiculed by the n on-Mo rmon people who ran the funeral homes. So, they got the idea of sta rtin g their own funeral home. Russell Relyea, who had been involved wit h th e Pronto Pups went to mortician's school in California and when he r eturn ed to town, they set up shop. It was a small shop and they had to d o a lo t of setting up and taking down of equipment in order to do all th e thing s necessary for a funeral. It was very hard to break into the fun eral bus iness and one of the prominent directors went to Howard's boss a t the Sta tesman and used his influence to force Howard to have to choos e between h is job at the newspaper and his new business. He decided to s tay with th e paper but he just transferred his mortuary stock to Russel l Relyea an d they had a verbal agreement that they were still partners . Howard jus t did the books on the side till the situation blew over an d he was abl e to have a long and prosperous association with Relyea Mort uary.
In August of 1962 major changes began to take place. They began with. Ma r got's marriage to Lawrence Moore Jr. Aug. 23, 1962. Within six months , th ere were two more marriages, Maury's to Pauline Richardson, Jan. 25, 1963 ; and Barr's to Rowena Davidson. March 1, 1963; John Paul left on h is mis sion to the Great Lakes: and the newspaper was sold to a company i n the E ast so Howard started his own C.P.A. office. In 1964, Howard an d Madge we re called on a mission for the building department of the Chur ch to go t o Sacramento, California. John Paul came home from his missio n and soon m arried Donna Nelson, Aug. 7, 1965. The day after their weddi ng, Howard an d Madge returned to California to find a call from Salt Lak e asking the m to go to South America for the Financial Department of th e Church, sinc e the building mission status had Changed. They spent fift een months in M ontevideo, Uruguay. They found it to be a marvelous exper ience. In Januar y of 1967 they were transferred to Salt Lake to finish t heir three-year m ission in the Finance Department of the Church. They re turned to Boise i n October of 1967, sold their home and moved to Salt La ke where Howard we nt to work for the Church as Assistant Disbursing Offi cer of the Church . They bought a duplex at 1774 Laurelhust Dr. in the Mo nument Park Eleven th Ward. They enjoyed living there and made many frien d ships. They live d there from January 1968 until September 15, 1976 whe n they sold the dup lex and bought a condominium at 123 2nd Ave. in Canyo n Road Tower Howar d retired at age 67 and they are both working in the S alt Lake Temple a t this time. Madge has been there since Aug. 1968 a s a receptionist and a s ordinance worker since Apr. 1977. Howard began t he temple work in Feb . 1978. Their work there together has been very ins pirational and satisfy ing. They have 25 grandchildren, 22 of whom live i n Salt Lake City. Thei r three older boys with their families are there n ow. Margot, with her th ree children, still lives in Boise. There is on e great grandchild, Tracy' s, there. The boys all served missions and al l four children were marrie d in the temple.
Madge and Howard's hope and prayer for those who come after them is th a t the knowledge of their life will be a testimony of the truthfulnes s o f the Gospel and that happiness comes through staying true to the pri ncip les thereof and being active in the church work. This knowledge ha s bee n the underlying truth that has determined their course throughou t thei r lives. They know that it can do the same for the lives of thei r childre n and grandchildren if they will work at it. Their hope for the mselves i s that they will endure to the end and be worthy to be reunite d as a fami ly in the Kingdom of Heaven.
-Here is a post script to the entry for Madge Heppler Peterson Ballif-
Howard and I went many places together. We went to Chicago with the new s paper. It was really nice and we bought many things for us and our fami ly . We also went to New York. We took the kids to Yellowstone National P ar k one year, also. It seems that all they wanted to do was go swimming . I n 1974, we went with the BYU to Israel. It was a wonderful trip and w e fe lt very close to the Savior; saw the things He saw and went the plac es H e went. We felt closer to him after that experience. We went to Ne w Zeala nd and Australia on a tour, too. We got many things there and sa w many th ings.
I went on many outings with my mother and my six sisters. Then after m y m other died in 1971,1 still went with my sisters many places. There ar e ma ny pictures of our outings together. As I got older, Howard and I co ntinu ed to go places with all of them. We had fun at our many reunions.
In May of 1972, we had a nice reunion with all the kids. It was in conju n ction with my family in Bloomington. We all had condominiums there in B lo omington. We had a good time. We also went to Bryce Canyon, Zions Cany on , and some other interesting places.
In 1987, we went to Florida with John Paul and Donna. We went to Disne y W orld first. We had a wonderful time. We went to Disney World, or rath er E pcot Center and did all the wonderful things there. A highlight of t he vi sit was a visit to Germany. We had a dinner there and it was wonder ful. W e went to Nassau and other islands around there on a ship, The Car nival L ines. We also traveled around the state a bit. It was a fun trip . We wen t back in 1992, for our last trip. We went to visit Bobette an d Glendon t his time. They have a beautiful place there. While we were go ne, Maury, o ur son came down with cancer of the stomach. It was a bad ti me but he liv ed through it with some minor problems.
In 1989, we went home to Boise with the three boys and their wives. It w a s the time that Kelly came home from his mission. It was a reunion. W e ha d a lovely time and we took a special picture of it. It will be in t he pi cture section.
Our time in the condominium was nice. We got together with the childre n f rom time to time. Our favorite thing to do was to go to dinner with t hem . We went altogether sometimes, and sometimes we went with one coupl e alo ne. We finish our work in the temple in. We continued our attendanc e at c hurch for a while. Finally, we had some problem and the last two y ears we re not very pleasant. I didn’t want to go and leave Howard, bu t I finall y had to.
As was said earlier, I had a full life. Howard and I were together alway s . I left with the idea that God is our Father, that His Son, Jesus Chri st , is the Savior of the world and that He did die for me. I also believ e t hat the Holy Ghost is real, that Joseph Smith restored the Gospel an d tra nslated the Book of Mormon. I know that the Church of Jesus Chris t is th e only true church and that Gordon B. Hinckley is a true and livi ng Proph et today. I know that I’ll live with Howard, and that our childr en will b e with us.
(This is a copy of a talk you mother gave in the sacrament meeting of t h e Salt Lake Ensign Stake 18th Ward, February 5, 1978 when we were assig ne d by the bishopric to give the program in the meeting. Madge also sa n g a solo ”I Come To Thee" and it was beautifully cone, as only she ca n si ng, and many people congratulated her.—H.M.B.)
(Madge P. Ballif 2/3/1976)
Both Howard and I served full-time mission before we were married and ha v e been on another full-time mission together since our children were ma rr ied. But we have always felt that the most important mission we had wa s t he one we experienced without a formal call from the Authorities, n o form al mission organization—only the feeling of accomplishing somethin g ver y worthwhile and happiness in the work of helping to build up th e kingdo m and assisting with the progress of the Church in Boise Stake.
We arrived in Boise the day after we were married, right in the middl e o f the depression in the Spring of 1933. We only knew 2 people—brothe r Joh n W. Condie, who was instrumental in helping Howard to find a Job i n Bois e. Brother Condie was then the State Superintendent of Public Inst ructio n for Idaho. The other person we knew was brother Ezra T. Benson , who wa s the Agricultural Extension Agent for Idaho. "T” as we called h im, i s a cousin of Howard's and the three of us were at the "Y” during h is sen ior year. Brother Benson was kind enough to help us find a small o ne-roo m apartment not far from the State House, where Howard was goin g to wor k in the State Land Department.
There were two small wards in Boise at that time, and we were in the Fir s t Ward which met in a little white church with one large room, a pot-be ll ied stove stood in the comer and wires were strung across the celling , o n which curtains were drawn to separate the classes for Sunday School . W e had a foot pedal organ and an old fashioned, big piano. Not many f acil ities, but an enthusiastic, though small, congregation of willing wo rkers .
I became the Ward Primary Music Director, and Howard went into the Sta k e MIA Presidency with brother Del White, the president. We had not see n D el for some years after they moved from Boise, and were so pleased t o fin d him and Ruby moving into the condominium the same day that we mov ed in.
There was considerable prejudice on the part of the townspeople agains t t he Church in 1933. I had always thought that Idaho was, to a large ex tent , Mormon and 1 suppose that was true with the towns and cities on th e Uta h border and up the eastern aide into Idaho Falls, but the greate r perce ntage of Idaho was non-Mormon, and it seemed to us, desired to re main so . Boise was no exception and we found several church friends wh o would no t openly state their religious views for fear of losing thei r Jobs. The n ewspapers were ever ready to report sane derogatory story o r news item o f something in which the Mormons happened to be involved. S ome of our sch ool teachers were not offered jobs and the possibility o f being elected t o public office in that area was quite remote.
The Boise Stake was large in area, if not in numbers. It extended from G l ens Ferry on the South to Huntington, Oregon on the Northwest, sane 13 0 m iles, with about 3,500 members. So, there was much traveling to be do ne b y the stake officers & boards.
But new people started to move in and soon a new church was built, rig h t in the heart of the city and Howard went into the new bishopric, an d al so changed jobs from the State to the Statesman Newspapers. This cha nge t urned out to be a blessing to the church situation, as well as to u s pers onally. The paper had been very anti-Mormon In Its beginning a s I mention ed before, and Howard felt very reluctant to be a par6 of tha t, though h e was to be the business manager, and as such would have noth ing to do wi th setting the policies of the news Items. He went to the ow ner and tol d her that there was something that had to be understood befo re he coul d accept the position. He said he was an active Mormon and int ended to b e such, no matter where he worked and if this would make a dif ference, h e had better not accept the position. He was assured that al l would be we ll and he later found one other member among the employee s .
About this time the MIA was having its Gold and Green Balls, and we ha d s ome beautiful extravaganzas with queens, attendants, floor show and s o fo rth; and the public was invited to join us. I became a member of th e MI A Stake Board as activity counselor and dance director and the pape r sen t their photographer to take pictures and report on the activity. T he pub licity became very favorable and other activities of our church, s uch a s Stakes Conferences, changes in bishoprics and other church news , were p ublished.
Brother Benson was then chosen to be Stake President and I was asked t o b e stake chorister with the assignment of seeing that a choir was orga nize d in every new ward. We had lost most of the far places of the Stak e an d by the time Brother Benson left for Washington D. C. for his assig nmen t in the President’s Cabinet, we had 13 wards In Boise—Meridian—Moun tai n Home and Eagle. Several new stakes had been formed from the countr y o n the North and South. Howard had been In the First Ward Bishopric fo r mo re than nine years and was asked to be a counselor to the new stak e presi dent and I went back to the First Ward to be the Relief Society P resident .
The church was really growing—new people were coming into Boise with n e w jobs and our people were active on community boards and councils; he l d government positions and ran for state offices. We had seminaries a t bo th high schools and an institute at the college where the LDS studen ts we re outstanding in scholarship and activities, and athletics.
There was a great need for a Mormon mortuary in Boise, so we were Instr u mental In helping to establish a Mormon mortuary, which proved to b e a gr eat blessing to the members of the Church in Boise. Up until then , the Re lief Society and the Priesthood were called to the mortuaries t o dress ou r people in their temple clothes for burial and I heard the sn ide remark s that were made behind our backs, when I sang for many ' non- Mormon fune rals at the several mortuaries.
Howard had served l4fc years in the Stake Presidency, when we were cal l ed on our second formal mission, this time together, first to Californ i a and then to South America, where we lived In Montevideo, Uruguay. Thi rt y-two years we had lived In Boise; had four children—3 sons who all we n t on missions and 1 daughter, all of who attended the, tY’ and were mar ri ed in the temple. There are now 21 precious grandchildren, 11 of the m ar e here; the other 10 live too far away to attend.
We haven’t lived in Boise since Christmas Day 1964, but our daughter a n d her family are there, as are many old friends from our first years, a n d we visit as often as possible. The Church is still making progress a n d many people are being converted to the Gospel and Boise has ___Stake s n ow, just in the city.
We were happy to have been In the Lord's mission field during our lif e i n Boise and to have witnessed the growth of the Church there, and t o hav e had a small part In the various activities. I'm sure it was our g reates t mission and we were fortunate to be In the right place at the ri ght tim e when we could be of service.
The Gospel and its teachings have been our whole life and we have fou n d in them the answers to our questions, and the inspiration for whatev e r decisions and choices we have had to make .
May the Lord bless us all in our righteous endeavors and give us streng t h to keep His commandments and endure to the end, is my prayer…. | Peterson, Madge Heppler (I163942)

BATTLE OF DUNCRUB - 965
by James E. Fargo, FSA Scot
Everyone is familiar with William Shakespeare’s play "Macbeth" in whic h t he two protagonists fight for the Scottish throne. Not so clearly kno wn i s that this rivalry began several generations before the events desc ribe d in the play. Our King Duncan was not the kindly old man portraye d but l ived up to what became his clan’s war cry "Fierce When Roused". M acbeth , from the royal house of Moray, had a better claim to the thron e on Kin g Malcolm II death, based on celtic tanistry whereas Malcolm ha d adopte d the English feudal system of primogeniture for his own royal l ine.
In 962 the kingship of Alba (Scotland) was contested between two rival b r anches of the MacAlpin dynasty after the death of King Malcolm I. The t w o princes ruled jointly until a falling out between them led to a batt l e upon a ridge called Duncrub (Dorsum Crup) about seven miles west of P er th in Atholl in 965. King Dub (or Duff) of Cumbria, a prince of the ro ya l house of Alpin, was the son of King Malcolm I. Duff led an army agai ns t Prince Cuilen and his army of Moray men. It was the custom then to a ppo int the heir to the Scots throne, to the sub-kingship of Cumbria as t he p rovince had been given by King Edgar of England in return for homag e fo r that province and to defend it from invading Danes.
Although Duff’s army was victorious at Duncrub, Duncan, hereditary lay a b bot of Duncalden (Dunkeld) and Dubdon the mormaer of Atholl were kille d . At this time in Scotland’s history it was common for senior churchme n t o lead the armed forces of their church estates into combat. This abb ot D uncan (b.920-d.965) was the father of Duncan of Atholl (b.949-d.990 ) wh o became the mormaer of Atholl upon Dubdon’s death in this battle. T his D uncan of Atholl became the father of Crinan (born c.976 and kille d in 104 5) and two younger sons. The second son, Grim (thane of Strathea rn and ba ille of Dull) was killed in 1010 at the battle of Mortlach. Th e younges t son became an ancestor of the Irvine clan according to Burke’ s Peerage.
On King Duff’s death in 967, Prince Cuilen of Moray assumed the kingsh i p until he was killed in 971 during a battle in Lothian with the son o f K ing Dyfnwal of Strathclyde, an ally of Duff’s brother Kenneth. This b roth er, as King Kenneth II assumed the throne and reigned from 971-995 . Kenne th finally killed Cuilen’s brother Olaf in 977 ending the royal h ouse o f Moray’s competition for the throne for that generation. Kennet h II wa s succeeded by his nephew (son of King Dub/Duff) as Kenneth III ( King o f Scots from 997-1005). On the death of Kenneth III, King Malcol m II (so n of Kenneth II) ruled as King of Scots from 1005 to his death i n 1034. M alcolm II made his grandson Duncan the King of Cumbria until h e became Ki ng of the Scots upon Malcolm’s death

He is preceded in death by his parents and brothers Denny and Jim.
A Photographer
Scott was fond of photography, and oftentimes elected to be the one to t a ke pictures and had to be coerced to be in one. On vacations and trips , h e'd be the one to document everything and everyone .
He and his wife were having a date night one night in Portland and wande r ed into an outdoor banquet for an artists' convention. Recognizing a fr e e meal and a golden opportunity, Scott grabbed an unclaimed name-tag a n d sat down with a group of artists and began to chat. His wife, Caryn , wa s mortified, and practically shaking in terror at the prospect of be ing c aught in a bold-faced lie. Scott, however, was making friends wit h all th e other artists. When asked what his medium was, he claimed phot ography . After enjoying a steak dinner and the company of pretentious Po rtland a rtists, he left them for the night with the promise that he'd se e them th e next day at the art gala. Needless to say, Scott and Caryn we re not i n attendance.
Scott also loved taking pictures of nature. One time, he and his wife we r e visiting their son, JR, daughter-in-law, and baby granddaughter who h a d just moved to California. His daughter-in-law, Katie, was looking fo r s omething they could do as a family, and so she decided to take a fami ly t rip to Yosemite. They were driving through the park and tensions wer e hig h as Scott had forgotten to pack a lunch. To make matters worse, Sc ott in sisted on stopping the car every time he saw a beautiful vista t o the poi nt that several park rangers would approach them and say that t hey neede d to keep moving as they were holding up traffic. But Scott go t to take n ice pictures, so that's what matters. | Nelson, Robert Scott (I80437)

Maria Louisa Davis Pond - Wife of Stillman Pond
By Charles E. Hayes, August 2, 1953
Maria Louisa Davis was born to James Davis and mary Miranda Jones D a vis, at Princeton, Massachusetts. She was reared in Hubbardston, Massa ch usetts. Maria was the third child in the family. On February 4, 1834 , s he married Stillman Pond, a widower with four small daughters.
During the early part of their marriage, she, with her husband an d c hildren moved to New Salem, Massachusetts, where two of her own child re n were born, here she made a good home for the entire family and the f ou r children of the first wife learned to revere her and really call he r "M other".
On December 28, 1841, under the hands of Elder Elias Harris, she a n d her husband with the family were baptized into The Church of Jesus Ch ri st of Latter-Day Saints, and in the fall of 1843, they moved to Nauvoo , H ancock County, Illinois, where her fourth child was born on October 2 8, 1 844 but died on January 5, 1845.
She and her husband were endowed in the Nauvoo Temple, December 3 0 , 1845 and on February 4, 1846, she was sealed to her husband, Stillma n P ond, and at the same time acted as proxy in the sealing of Stillman t o hi s first wife, Elmyra Whittemore, whom he married December 22, 1825 a t Hub bardston, Massachusetts.
