From a life sketch posted on familysearch.org:
Tryphena was known to be a very neat good looking woman. It is said of her that she was never seen in the morning without her hair being combed. She had a natural curl in it. Her health was never very good. Her parents were always quite concerned about her frail condition, but she grew up to be a beautiful young girl.
While living in Cheltenham she became interested in Mormonism. Her father-in-law William was a member of the church and when serving as branch President it was his duty to arrange housing for visitors to stay at conference time. He asked his son and daughter-in-law to help take some of these visitors into their home. This experience gave them an opportunity to learn more of Mormonism and they were converted to the gospel. Tryphena was baptized 27 Sept. 1886, but Henry was not baptized until 11 Oct 1891. Many Church leaders and Missionaries partook of their hospitality and stayed at their home and at times only to eat a meal, but the welcome mat was always out for them. These contacts were very good for the children and were highlights in their childhood days in England. Local Missionaries were always invited to Sunday Dinner also. Tryphena said she remembers Pres. Lorenzo Snow giving her and her daughter Tryphena a blessing after a conference one time.
In 1892 they made preparations to move to Utah. They auctioned off their things which was a hard thing to do because they realized they were giving up their home and loved ones who they would never see again in this life, but they had a keen desire to come to Zion and their strong testimony of the gospel led them to make this choice. They only lived in rented homes until her father Emanual, a well to do man, died in England. When she received her inheritance from his estate they purchased a nice home in Nephi.
Tryphena worked in Primary and later was Secretary in the North Ward Relief Society. She loved to crochet and tat and did much of it. Around 1915 Grandma was advised by her Dr. to move to a dry warm climate. They moved to Overton Nevada. They later moved to Chula Vista. Tryphena had a stroke in May 1925 and was completely paralyzed on her right side and also lost her speech. She was bedfast until 25 Dec. 1925 when she passed away. Her body was then brought back to Nephi.
