| Notes |
- From a Facebook post by Glen Hudson :
Here is part of an oral history dictated by my great-aunt Ruth Hudson Ke s ler. Ruth is the youngest daughter of my great-grandparents, Andrew J . Hu dson and Sarah Emily Coleman. Ruth Kesler was adopted by Emily Colem an ab out 1926. Emily was a widow at that time:
"We lived on a house … south of the Magrath trading company .
My grandmother Coleman was from Cardiff, Wales and had 12 children. [I n h er later years, she lived with my mother]. I used to sit by [my grand ma's ] knee hour after hour listening to her sing. She used to sing “O M y Fath er” in Welsh. I sat by her knee for hours learning just two or thr ee line s. My grandma taught me to count to 10 in Welsh .
I remember one day that my mom went to Relief Society and she left me ho m e to tend my Grandma. And for some reason, the kids were out of schoo l an d they had a great big huge hill to go sleigh-riding on. And I didn’ t hav e a sleigh so I used to go on a cardboard box. And it was lots of f un. Wo re the bottom out of one and go get another and away we’d go again . Thi s day that Mom had gone to Relief Society, I looked out and all th e kid s were sleigh riding and they were having so much fun.
So I decided, ‘why not dress my Grandma up and take her? As long as I di d n’t leave her alone, well, it wouldn’t hurt. ’
So I dressed her up in her galoshes and her coat with a fur collar and h e r hat and gloves. She was all warm. I went across the hill with her. S h e was only 87. I borrowed a sleigh and I put her in front of me. And aw a y we went down that hill, a long ways we did go. And then I pulled he r ba ck up the hill. And away we’d go again. She just had so much fun.
So finally my mom came home and I wasn’t home and Grandma wasn’t there . A nd when she got out to look and there I was, over on the hill, pullin g Gr andma up the hill on the sleigh. And I want to tell you, my mother w asn’ t very happy. But my Grandma and I sure had fun. And I never did for get t hat, not ever.
If it hadn’t been for my mother taking me into this family, I would ha v e known about the gospel, I would have never known about salvation, o r ab out being sealed for time and eternity."
