LUCILLE CHAPMAN PETERSON
Lucille was born 19 April 1922 to Ray and Verla Christensen in Sterling , Utah. She died 11July 1990 in Ogden Utah.
Lucile met Doyle Peterson in late 1939 when she showed up at the Peterson house to pick up Doyle's brother Afton for a girls choice dance at Manti High. Afton wasn't home and Doyle tried to take his place, but Lucille said no for that night but yes for the next one and the romance was on. They started regular dating, which turned long distance, when Doyle went to Ogden and sold Watkins Products, staying with his brother Lorin, and coming home to see Lucille on weekends. Before he quit this job he and Lorin went to a jewelry store and bargained for a diamond, which he presented to Lucille when he got back to Sterling, and with a yes from her they set the wedding for 5 June 1940. On that date they were married in the Manti temple by Robert DeYoung. Until Thanksgiving the couple worked again in the turkeys for Evan Johnson living in a trailer. After Thanksgiving, out of work they moved in with Lucille's father where Doyle worked for board and room plus $1.00/day working jobs around the farm. Then starting the next spring they went back to work for Evan at $60.00/mo and lived back in the trailer for the next 2 years. Their 1st son Marlow Ray was born in 1941 at Lucille's father's home in Sterling, and then in the spring of 1942 Doyle purchased a small home in Manti for $1200.00 from a Mr. Tugerson. In this home, one day while Lucille was working in the kitchen just after she had brought the baby (Marlow) from the bedroom she heard a loud crash in the bedroom and found that the ceiling had collapse onto the bed right where the baby had been laying, a tragedy just averted.
That spring Doyle purchase a small trailer house and the family moved back to Ogden parking the trailer in the rear of Lorin's home, using Lorin's electricity to reduce their expenses. Doyle again sold Watkins products and worked a variety of jobs (worked for the express co., sorted railroad baggage, unloaded slack coal off freight cars) and toward the end of their stay took a student course as a fireman. Doyle's mother, Malinda, however needed help on the family farm in Sterling, so they decided to move back to their house in Manti. Upon return, they sold the trailer to Lucille's dad, who needed it for the guard duties he was performing at the Gunnison reservoir dam. That plus the money they had made the 6 months in Ogden was enough to pay for the Manti house. Doyle continued to work on the Johnson farm for Alma, Robert and Evan, and then he and Lucille started working for Evan taking care of the turkeys which lasted until just before Christmas each year. This meant staying in a trailer house right out among the turkeys. Lucille cooked meals on a little wood stove in the trailer and all the clothes washing was done in a tub and washboard including the bed sheets. Baths were taken in a large ditch of water just above the turkeys.
Doyle and Lucille about this time, decided to move to Sterling and care for Malinda's farm. The farm was quite run down; per acre it wasn't producing much. Malinda had a few milk cows, some chickens, pigs and range cattle. Doyle took over the farm on a 50/50 share basis and moved to Sterling renting Oscar Petersen's home. After some Halloween vandalism damage, Oscar decided to sell the home asking only $1200.00 for the home on a ¼ block lot, so Doyle sold his home in Manti and bought the home in Sterling. After getting settled in, he borrowed money from the Manti City Bank and purchased his mother Malinda's farm. Not making much capital from the farm he had to work in Manti at night for Morgan Dyring, in the Apex Hatchery and work the farm in the day. The Hatchery was a 7 to 8 month job and he worked it for 9 years.
Doyle and Lucille settled into the Sterling scene, driving the school buss, building up their farm, improving their home and adding children to the family;
Marilyn (31 Oct 1943), Ranae (22 October 1948) and Ronald Doyle (31 June 1954).
About this time Doyle was involved in a very serious accident. While he was on the road in front of his house putting gas into his tractor to go to the farm, a car driven by Lorell Fox came down the street and Lorell being blinded by the sun slammed his car into Doyle and the tractor. The car hit the tractors large wheel breaking it into 13 pieces, putting the tractor axel through the car's door. Doyle was pushed along the side of the tractor taking the skin from his stomach and jamming up his leg. He lay on the ground covered with a blanket while the doctor came in from Manti. He required about 6 to 8 months of recuperation and the doctor's prognosis was that he would lose 20% use of his leg. Faced with that he decided in 1957 to sell the farm and move the family to Ogden.
They purchased a house at 2934 Jackson in Ogden. Doyle got employment as a supply clerk for the Ogden School District and soon found that he needed a second job to make ends meet. He and Lucille worked part time doing janitorial service for J. C. Penny which he quit when they wanted him to work full time not wanting to give up the School District job. He and Lucille then supplemented the day job with janitorial service at various Ogden businesses: Woolford's (which became Castleton's), Ray's Club, one of the bowling alley's sometimes working 17 to 18 hour days.
Lucille's death, 11 July 1990, from cancer was a tremendous loss to Doyle having such great companionship for so many years.
