From Mary Comfort's memory page on familysearch.org:
Written by: Zola Mary Wilson Stevenson
My mother was born on the 30 November 1885 in a new pioneer community which my Grandfather, the presiding elder, later named LaBelle. Her parents, Sarah Melissa Scott and Winslow Farr Walker, named her Mary, (after my great grandmother) Comfort (because she came as a comfort after their loss of Sarah Zola). She was known as Comfort for a great many years.
She had some very interesting childhood experiences in this pioneer community. She was the eldest of the six children born here. She would whistle while she worked in the fields with her father, Bishop Walker, and on one occasion while her mother was in Salt Lake City, she had the care and responsibility of the family. During this time the family had the mumps and Uncle Lee had a broken leg.
The family moved to Lewisville and then to Rexburg where the family could attend Ricks Academy. Here my Mother met John Arthur Wilson and they were married in the Logan Temple on 23 December 1903.
They both enjoyed doing church work in the First Ward of Rexburg. My Father was a beautiful singer. The song I liked best to hear him sing was "O It Is Wonderful." My Mother did work in primary and mutual.
I was born to them in 18 October 1904. They moved to Idaho Falls for a short time when my father did masonry work. Then they moved back to Rexburg. My two brothers Arthur and Emmett were born there.
Later, where my Father had to move around so much to find work and mother wanted us to have a steadier life better influences of the church and school, they separated.
She worked at J C Penny Co. and took boarders to help care for us. W. H. Wardell was one of these boarders who came to attend school at Ricks. They were married 2 December 1919 and we moved to Willard where he was teaching then.
In 1922 my sister, Donna Lou, was born. That fall we moved to Provo where Dad could attend the B.Y.U. He taught part time at the Provo High and earned enough credits the rest of the time to graduate.
The next year was spent in Eureka where my mother helped him put across his teaching job and took boarders so he could save enough to go to the University of Southern California the next summer to work on his Doctors degree. He came back to Mammoth, Utah to teach the next winter. Then we went to Montana on a salesmanship job so that the next summer Dad could go to the University in Chicago.
The next summer they spent in Washington. In the meantime my brother, Art, and I had attended two years at the B.Y.U. and had our normals. We both got teaching positions. My youngest brother had attended a Barber College and had a good job.
In 1929 I married and stayed at Bluebell; my folks moved to Helper where they would be closer to us. Mother was Stake Y.M.I.A. worker and Relief Society counselor in Helper. In 1943 Dad's health became poor so they bought a store in Weber. Dad died in 1945. Donna Lou had attended B.Y.U. and became a secretary.
My husband died in October 1945 so mother sold the store and came to be with me. She took care of Clara, who was a year old then, while I taught school. I had gone back to teaching the year before because of my husband's poor health. My boys were then 14 and 15 and able to get jobs and help. She took care of me and taught part of the year while my baby, Maurine, was born. The next year she spent in California with Lou who was married. Then she came to Salt Lake City.
In December 2, 1949 she married Herman G. Berkhausen. They have filled a stake mission, mother has worked in the Relief Society and they have done Temple work.
Mother has always been an influence to all of us to seek after knowledge and better things of life and to give of what we believe.
