"I was born in a rural home. It was a day like all day of the month of June, pleasant weather, vegetation flourishing in prime growth. I was born on my grandfather's farm (Mark W. Mullins and Sallie Paul Mullins) tenant residence in which my parents lived. The location being known as the Mullins branch; it being a contributory to the North Rolling Fork River. My father told me I was the only child of 3 daughters and five sons born during daylight hour (this being between 10 and 11 a.m.). My mother was assisted by a woman living in the area (midwife) about one hour before the doctor arrived. Dad, being a convert to the Mormon Church a bit before my birth, named me for Parley P. Pratt, a civil engineer who layed out Salt Lake City
Utah in 1850."
