LIFE OF PEARL MELISSA WILSON BROWN HAYMORE

Pearl Melissa was born in Springlake, Utah in 1871, the third child of David Johnson Wilson and Julia Didimia Johnson. There were seven children in the family, Edith, David, Pearl Melissa and Mary Ellen (Mazie) were born in Springlake, Utah. Centenna, Esther and Bennie were born in Hillsdale, Utah.

When Pearl Melissa was just an infant her mother sang a song about a Pearl and when her father heard the song he suggested they name the new baby Pearl. Pearl Melissa had a very sweet disposition, with a knack for keeping an orderly, clean house. She was very small in stature and had black eyes, rosy cheeks and brown hair.

When Pearl Melissa was about seventeen years old, she and Mary Ellen (Mazie) drove a wagon to Mexico. This was in 1888. The Wilson family moved to Mexico at the same time. David Wilson had three wagons, eight mares and mules and a few colts. David Jr. drove one team and his father the other. They all stayed with Bishop Johnson for a few days until they bought a lot and cleared it for a tent and a garden spot.

A big adobe home with spacious living room was built, and a Hammond organ was sent for. Mary Ellen (Mazie) was the one that was given music lessons and she taught all of the family all of the songs in the hymn book. The family would gather around the organ in the evenings and sing while their mother knit stockings and their father sat by the fire.

Many parties were held in the Wilson home. Dances were popular with this young set. They danced in the living room while a cousin, Stephen Wilson, played the violin and Mary Ellen (Mazie) played the organ.

While living in the new home, Pearl Melissa met and married George Mortimer Brown.

Pearl Melissa and George had a little girl named Pearl Melissa after her mother. Soon after, George Mortimer Brown died. The Wilson family had already moved to Colonia Oaxaca where the Haymore family lived. David had been given a second wife, Marian Adelia Cox, and they were living in the first home in Mexico that was built by David.

After George Mortimer Brown died, David Wilson and Aunt Delia brought Pearl Melissa to Colonia Oaxaca with her little girl. Prior to her marriage to George Brown, she had met Franklin Demarcus Haymore while he was a visitor in their home and had washed, mended and ironed a shirt for him. It was not long until Franklin D. Haymore started to court her and they were soon married by Bishop Scott.

Franklin D. and Pearl Melissa had a daughter, Emma Julia, on July 18, 1899 in Colonia Oaxaca. Pearl Melissa Brown was happy to have a new sister. Shortly after wards a trip was made to Utah to get Franklin Demarcus Haymore's children, David F., Mildred and Lester, as their mother, Elizabeth Ann Lant, had died. At this time Pearl Melissa and Franklin D were sealed in the temple.

Pearl was an excellent mother to all of the children. She showed them love and always treated each one as if he or she was her very own. On the 6th of October 1901, another daughter, Centenna was born. She proved to be a bundle of joy from the very beginning, with a very sweet disposition. Another little girl was born but passed away.

When Pearl Melissa's mother, Julia, came to be with her and take care of all the children, Pearl Melissa requested that she treat all of the children as if they were her very own grandchildren, as she felt they were he jewels and did not want a difference shown to them.

Later, two other children, Lucy Ann and Rose were born, each passing away as infants.

Pearl was a wonderful wife, homemaker, and mother to all. She taught the children gospel principles, and helped them to pay their tithing.

When she gave birth to her sixth child in November 1907 in Colonia Oaxaca, she and the infant passed away and they were buried together with the infant in her arms.

Pearl was truly a noble woman that exemplified the teachings of love as shown not only to her own daughters but to all of the Haymore children. Each one dearly loved her and missed her greatly when she was called to return to her Father in Heaven.
