Some of this bio of Elizabeth was written by her several years ago.
Elizabeth was born in Jackson, Tennessee. She was raised on a farm. The family owned a cow, chickens and pigs, which they raised for their meat. They would gather eggs and take them to the grocery store close by and trade the eggs for staples like coffee, sugar and salt or whatever they needed. In the fall Albert didn't have much to do so he would go up on Cumberland Mountain and hew ties to get a little bit of money. They had a mule to plow their land, which was on a hillside because Tennessee was not a money making place. In the spring when they were ready to plant their crops, Sallie would go out and help with the planting.
They had a big turkey in the yard, and he used to come up to the door and crow. Sallie would always yell for him to get out because she had heard it was bad luck if a turkey would come up and stand in the door and crow.
I remember Dad and Mother had a corn crib, where Dad stored his corn and when it rained he and Mom would go out and shuck the corn. Dad had two black snakes and they would go down to the spring and get some water, and back to the crib. Dad told Mom "don't kill my black snakes they are good mousers and keep the mice out of the barn". She said if they will stay out of my way I won't bother the. A few days later Mom met one of them when she was coming back from the spring getting water and he was on his way down to the spring. So she killed him. Dad told Mom he wouldn't have had him killed for five hundred dollars, he was good to keep the mice away. Mom said she was sorry but he should have stayed out of my way. She was scared to death of snakes.
We had an old hen under the kitchen floor one time and she layed her eggs under there. There was this chicken snake that would go under there and eat all the eggs.
Eventually they moved to Utah, then to Preston Idaho. They took the train to Idaho. Her parents were always full of fun and always good natured. Later they moved to Riverdale, Utah.
As she got older she helped work on the fruit farm that they moved to on Canyon Drive, in Ogden, Weber, Utah. Elizabeth and her sisters love to tease their brothers and in turn the boys teased them. They hated snakes and the boys would chase them with snakes just to see what they would do.
Elizabeth married Adna Orvil Davies September 6, 1936 in Ogden, Weber, Utah. They had one son, Carl Peary Davies.
