I was bom 4 May, 1887 at my father's home at Lake Point, Tooele County,
Utah. School teachers: Perry Fisher, Nellie Ruth, Helen Rowbery, Stanley
McCoppen Drummond, Inez Knowlton, Alfred Nelson, Susie Milton, Albert
Anderson.
My mother died 6 October 1890, when I was 3 years old, leaving 5 httle girls.
My baby sister died 3 weeks later. It was very hard for my father to get along and
take care of us children but he managed for a while until he married again. My
sister (Josephine) just older than me and I were very close together and enjoyed
many good times together. So far I haven't met with any acddents. Our
amusements were school activities, dances, plays, and childhood amusements.
Church activities were: Primary, Sunday School, M.I.A., Genealogical temple
work. I have had many faith permoting experiences such as receiving answers to
my prayers along the line of research of names for temple work. My health has not
always been too good although I have always been spared in life. Diseases I have
had has been mumps, measles, whooping cough, small pox, chicken pox, bronchitis,
pemidous anemia.
I am married, 27 June 1910, and have a wonderful family of children,
grandchildren, and one great grandchild. I am 73 years old and I am still active in
Relief Sodety,
When we were girls at home, our father owned a httle grocery store. When some
of his customers would go in the store to get their groceries, we having a httle
devilish streak in us, would take their horse and buggy or whatever they had and
take a httle ride. Some times it was only a bicycle although we couldn't ride one but
one would hold the bicycle up while the other peddled it. We not always came out
in the clear. One Sunday an old batchlor who we knew very well, came to the store
in an old cart and horse, the cart had only half the rail around in the seat and as
we were jogging long, the horse gave a lunge and I slipped off between the seat and
the wheel. My sister grabbed hold of me by the foot and tried to pull me up but I
almost didn't make it. In all our foolishness, the good Lord was always with us and
we were spared, by the time I got back on the seat my blouse was riddled to threads
in the back. I didn't know how I was going to get by without mother seeing it. I
knew she would be furious. I don't think we ever seen it after.
This old batchlor I speak of came to hve with us finally and he was a —.One
Sunday, my sister and I and our boy friends, came home from Mutual which was
held on Sunday evenings then. This batchlor, whose name was William Franklin,
was sitting by the store smoking his pipe which we all hated. He layed it on the
table. Josephine got the bright idea to bum his pipe up so she sneaked it away and
stuck it in the grate of the stove and it melted. We twisted it in all kinds of shapes
and it finally broke and she put it in the stove. This old fellow had been drinking
and ge didn't see anything that was going on. The next day he kept looking for his
pipe but of course he didn't find it, but he was suspidous of us and we were in the
dog house for a while because he did love that old stinkin' pipe.
We were married 27 June 1910. My husband is a tall medium complexioned,
handsome gentlemen [Junius W. Keyes] (parantheses in the origingal) very devoted
to me and a grand and thoughtful father to our five children. A good provider and
man of good faith, having filled a mission in the Texas field of labor for 2 years.
He is a High Priest in the L.D.S. Church. At the time we were married, we didn't
have a chance to go through the temple, but as time went on and we estabhshed
ourselves in a spedal ward and met the requirements, we were able to go through
the temple before our first baby was bom so our children would be bom under the
Covenant, which they were.
