HISTORY OF HENRIETTA TEEPLES STOCK
By Louie Stock Tyson
My mother died when I was a mere baby so I only know stories which other people have relayed to me. My father, grandmother, and others have told me what a beautiful life hers was. She was dearly loved by everyone both old and young. Many a loaf of bread or pat of butter was delivered to homes throughout Fish Haven by this thoughtful woman.
She was born May 1, 1852, in Provo, Utah, known in those days as Cedar Creek. Later the family moved to Holden where she spent her early girlhood. She was married on October 23, 1871 in the Salt Lake Endowment House to J. W. Edwin Stock and they set up housekeeping in the little log house where Edwin's father had lived on the beautiful shore of Bear Lake at Fish Haven, Idaho. It was in this little log house that her first three children were born. They were Emma Jane, Bertha Henrietta and Alice Luella. Through struggling as only pioneers could, they later built a house south of the creek and facing Bear Lake.
Mother worked in the church and was put in as President of the first Primary which was organized in Bear Lake Valley. This was on June 11, 1879.
She was the mother of three other children (six in all), Edwin E., Louie E., and J. William. The latter two are atill living, J. William in Newdale, Idaho and Louie E. in Ogden, Utah.
Her passing came at the early age of 32, on April 25, 1884. Her youngest child, J. William, was only 15 days old. She was buried in the Fish Haven, Idaho cemetery.
A Biography of Huldah Henrietta Teeples Stock
By Susan Stock
My first impression on meeting Henrietta was her very friendly and congenial disposition. I was immediately drawn to her. This was in the year 187l, when my parents moved with their family from Salt Lake City to Fish Haven, Idaho. Henrietta was among the first people we met and did all she could to make us feel at home. I soon learned to love her as a sister, and indeed she was loved by all who knew her. The young people all loved to gather around her and enjoy the cheer and friendliness of her love and confidence. She was always listening to the recital of their problems and with as much interest and confidence she joined in the fun and merriment. Her wise counsel and advice concerning their problems always found a responsive cord in their hearts.
I understood she was born in Cedar Springs (now Provo) in Southern Utah, where she spent the happy days of her girlhood. As a child, she was rather delicate in health, inclined to nervousness, and often confined to her bed for days at a time.
On one of these occasions when she was at the age to want pretty things to wear, and to be like the "other girls" she wanted especially a set of hoops (they were just in style at that time). Her kind and devoted mother, anxious to make her happy and encourage her to get well, by dint of hard work and saving, managed to get them for her, and placed them high by the bed, so the sick girl could see and admire them. How she enjoyed wearing them!
The love of home and friends always remained with her. She often talked of her girlhood friends with much feeling and longed for a visit with them.
When quite a young woman, she came to Swan Creek to visit with her brother and his family and spent several months there, making many friends among the young people and old people alike, and soon she was loved by all for her charming personality and friendliness toward all. It was at this time she met her fiance, J. W. Edwin Stock; after a short courtship they were married.
Henrietta was very spiritual minded, deeply religious, and a natural leader in any capacity she was called to labor. Her faith and devotion was always an inspiration to those about her. Her love for husband and children was manifest in her unselfish devotion to home and family. Their home life was ideal.
Six beautiful children came to bless her home. The first was a little daughter. She named her Emma Jane for her very dear girlhood friend Emma Jane Bennett. To Sister Bennett was born a son in the Salt Lake Temple at the time of its dedication in April, 1893.
Little Emma was a delicate child, rather nervous and later developed St Vitas Dance, and had to be fed many times. The faith of this child was manifest many times in her repeated requests for the administrations of the Elders, from whom she always received a blessing and often immediate relief. She lived to be about ten or twelve years of age. Her passing was a great sorrow to her devoted mother and father.
The tragic death of a dear little baby girl, Bertha, was a great shock to this devoted mother. One day she was busy with her household duties and the baby was put to play on a quilt on the floor. Something out of doors called the attention of the mother from her scrubbing. On her return she found the child nearly drowned in a bucket of scrub water. The father was away, but with the aid of the good neighbors and faith and prayers, the baby was revived for a time but after a day or two she passed away.
About ten months later another baby daughter was born to this good mother. This beautiful child had blue eyes and golden curly hair; they named her Alice. It seemed a kind of providence had sent her to comfort the hearts of these sorrowing parents. This was only for a time, though, for after two years, she suddenly fell ill and died of convulsions after a few days.
These grief-stricken parents took their burden to the Lord in prayer and received the divine comfort and solace that only the spirit of God can bring. The other children filled their hearts and home with love and blessings, and were a great source of comfort to them.
While this mother's heart was so saddened and grief seemed more than she could bear, she dreamed a dream in which she saw the Savior in a large white boat surrounded with hosts of beautiful children all in white, and she hastened to ask "Oh where are my little ones"? He smilingly seemed to read her thoughts,. "This is not the resurrection, but a vision I give unto thee that ye may know they are safe with me".
Ths dream comforted her greatly and she took courage, continually praying for divine help and strength to carry on.
She gave freely of herself to the service and blessings of others. She knew of a little orphan girl, Elizabeth Bennett, who was greatly in need of love and care. She lost no time in taking the child into her home, loving and tenderly caring for her as one of her own. The child was near the age of her little Emma and seemed to fill, in part at least, the vacancy in her mother's heart.
Sister Eliza R. Snow and other leading sisters from Salt Lake City, came to Bear Lake to organize the Young Ladies' Mutual Improvement Association. They found so many more children than young people that they decided to organize a Primary in which all could take part, and many good times they had together. Henrietta was made president. A call came for the primary to glean and save the wheat. With united effort, under the efficient leadership of Henrietta, the boys and Girls worked happily together, raking and gleaning the fields following the reapers. To their joy and satisfaction, the harvest showed 40 bushels of wheat saved.
For some months before the birth of Henrietta's last baby, she had premonitions as to her safety in the confinement. These premonitions caused her constant fear though she tried to put it by and have faith for the best. She often spoke of the strange feelings to those about her and remarked how much she wanted to live and care for her little ones and requested their faith and prayers for her.
When her time was filled she safely delivered a baby boy. She got along very well for a week or ten days and then, suddenly, she passed away. It was a great shock to her devoted husband, her friends and children, and cast a gloom over the whole community.
