Festus Frank Sprague Family
by Edith Sprague Crofts
Festus Frank Sprague was born in Grantsville, Utah, 14 Sept. 1867. Mother Anna Maria Moultrie was born in Tooele, Utah, 2 Oct. 1871. Later both families moved to Oakley, Idaho. They were married 29 Jan. 1888 in Oakley, Idaho. Their first son, Wm. Frank, was born in Oakley, Idaho, 24 Aug. 1889. My Father, Mother and Brother, also Father's brother Morris, moved to Marysville in the spring of 1890. They came by horses and wagon, and made several trips to haul their belongings. They camped at Bakers until Father filed on a section of land south of the cemetery on the east side of the road. He built a log house where their other seven children were born.
John Morris Sprague, born 18 June 1891, died 10 Mar. 1894
C. LeRoy Sprague, born 13 June 1893
Fess Sprague, born 21 Dec. 1895
Edith Sprague, born 27 Mar. 1897
Mae Sprague, born 10 Dec. 1900, died 16 Jan. 1901
Ray Sprague, born 12 Sept. 1902
Ross Sprague, born 17 Mar. 1906
The only Doctors our family had were Mrs. Mary Baker, Mrs. Loosli (Dimond's Mother) and Mrs. Humphrey (Milt's Mother).
Later in the summer of 1890, my Grandmother Green, who had remarried after grandfather's death to Emmerson green, their three children and two step daughters, moved to Marysville. Grandmother purchased the lot from Bishop Wilson that is now owned by Wayne Jenkins, and raised the rest of her family and lived there until she passed away 8 Oct. 1927.
Uncle Morris carried the mail from Market Lake with our old dog (Bob), which also served to protect Mother and Frank from the Indians, who were more than plentiful at this time.
Our water was hauled in large barrels from the Baker Spring. Father raised horses, cattle, pigs and chickens, besides farming ground that is now owned by Gus Steinmann, also Greentimber country. He helped build canals. He worked at Pete Wilson's and Bill Enget's sawmills and helped on building school and church, also other business buildings. He and the boys hauled freight for the Jackson Dam. He took tourists through the Park for years in camp and by stage. He also did contract work in Montana during haying season. They kept the old farm until the fall of 1915 when Mother's health failed rapidly, and they sold all but some horses and cows and bought a lot in Marysville. They spent their whole life there. All their family got married and all had families, but Ray. They left numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren. We, as a family, have scattered, with only three of us, Fess, Edith and Ross alive at this time. I am the only one left here and can say I love the people and country and feel I have many good friends. Mother passed away 11 July 1919 and Father on 4 Nov. 1929.
