History - Whoever thought that women in early Utah were timid stay-at-home women never met Grandma Lydia. She was one of 10 children, who always had a project to earn money going. As a teenager and young adult she knitted stockings to earn money. After her marriage she raised chickens to have her own 'more discretionary' funds. She and her husband Leo raised 8 children, and an occasional relative. She worked on the farm with her husband, kept a vegetable garden, and grew roses and peonies which she sold on 'Decoration Day' to people who came from other towns to purchase flowers for their family graves.
She owned and ran the Oak City Cash Store, was the Postmistress and served on the City Council. She made quilt tops at her store during the more quiet winter months, then invited the women in town to her home on her birthday in August where she would prepare them a lunch and they would help her quilt her quilts. Her pies were legendary. She would make 20 pies then go to the store to work. She sewed and knitted for her family and was President of the Band Parents. She died before her husband in 1958.
