BIOGRAPHY OF JAMIMA PENROD DAVIS
Written by Hannah Pearl Stubbs
Jamima Penrod was born at the family home located at 12th North, Provo, on October 18, 1881. She was blessed by her father, Amasa Lyman, and her Grandpa William Wright at Provo, Utah, and was baptized the 12th of October, 1889 by Olie Olsen, confirmed by Abraham Wilde.
Her home was a happy home. It was a two room adobe house. She was eight years old when he mother died. Mima, as she was called, was a beautiful child with her brown eyes and auburn hair. Hannah Rebecca, a sister to her mother, had come down from her home in Charleston to work and take care of her mother when the baby Amasa was born. They didn't have things like we have these days, and she died after his birth. Hannah Rebecca stayed and took care of the family. Amasa died when he was five months old. This was hard for Hannah Rebecca.
Hannah has said she would clean Mima up and let her go and play and she would be as clean when she came in as she was when she went out. She was that way all through her life.
Her parents, Amasa Lyman and Jemima Wright, were married by John E. Booth. They were blessed with five lovely children – Jemima, Elizabeth, Eva Maude and Amasa. The others died in infancy.
She could remember when her father and Aunt Hannah, as she caller her, were married. They went down by team and wagon to the Manti Temple to get married. This took ten days. Hannah and the children slept in the wagon with Father under the wagon on the ground. Mother has said how frightened they were when the coyotes would howl because there weren't many homes built then.
Mother has told us when they were all through one of the temple workers came to her door and said, "Sister Penrod, it has been made known to us we sealed the children to the wrong mother, Get dressed again and come to the sealing room." They went and got the children and they were sealed to the right mother. My mother said that was always a testimony to her.
One of her close girl friends was Hattie Fausett. Hattie's boy friend was Wilford Penrod, and Mima's was George Bonnett. They always had a good time together as they went to dances and other places. Later Hattie married Wilford, but George and Mima broke up and she later married Miles Davis the 16th of August 1902 in Salt Lake City.
Their home was happy, but they were never blessed with a family. She was never one to think of herself firs, but always others. She loved to see her sister Maude at the time of a new baby, she would always say, "Let me have this one. I don't know why you are blessed with a big family and we can't have just one."
I can remember whey Miles' sister Hannah lost her husband, one of her boys named Jim came to live with them. How they loved him. He stayed with them until he was married. They put him through school. He loved drums so when he fame from school he would go out back of the house and get Mima's tin wash tub down, turn it upside down and begin to play it like a drum with sticks. When he got old enough they bought him a set of nice drums. Later he played drums at dances and other places up to the time of his death. They also took Pansy Simmeral and had her for a few years, then her father took her East. Mima and Miles loved dogs. They had one that would meet Pansy on the corner each night after school; when she went East the dog missed her so much, that he just became a wanderer.
Mima always spoke of others with love, kindness, and never said a bad word about anyone. When you went to her their home you were always treated with kindness and felt welcome, and she went through life with that love and warmth in her heart.
Jamima died at the home of her father on 12th North, Provo, at the age of 63.
These tributes were written by Mima when her sister Pearl wrote the life histories of their parents.
Tribute to Father
Father has been a pillar of strength to me. His honesty, integrity and the good, clean life he has lived have always taught me that the: Golden moments, when we stand still and pause, when the mind grasps the meaning of an unspoken. Word. And we remember this is a wonderful world we are permitted to live in. That silence makes the entrance to the castle of success easy.
Tribute to Aunt Hannah
Who has been a mother to me from a child, eight years old. She has been a mother in deed. She has taught me honesty, to be trustworthy and to be cheerful. She has said cheerfulness, always looking on the bright side of things and cultivating the determination to stand in the sunshine, rather in the shadow, makes the gladness that helps us in our work.
