Ivy's father had immigrated from England, her mother was born in Provo, Utah. Ivy is the second child. Her siblings are Myrtle, Joseph, Minnie, Fern, and Glen. All of the children were born in Provo except Glen. The family moved to Rexburg, Idaho about 1900.
In 1902, when she was 17 years old, Ivy married Joseph Lorenzo Tempest. They became parents to four children: three daughters, Maude, Fay, and Erma Jean, and a son, Ross Joseph, who died when he was three weeks old.
For a while Joseph and Ivy ran a candy and Ice cream store in Rexburg. Then they moved to Bramwell, Idaho, near Emmett. Joseph did carpentry work in Nampa, Emmett, and Boise. They built a home on property in Bramwell to prove it up. The house burned down. The fire destroyed many personal things belonging to Ivy. She grieved for some time over that. In 1914 they moved back to Rexburg with the intent to go on to California in the spring. Joseph's father had a massive stroke and they had to postpone for several years. Finally Joseph took off for California in 1921. When he had made enough money to send for his family, Ivy and the girls followed him.
