PREFACE
This book had been compiled with the help of many Turley family members. We appreciated their work and the generous financial support that has also been given. This book was given to us mid-stage In preparation by Lawrence Turley and we are not aware of all who have contributed, but we hope that all of us can appreciate what Is contained within.
The Theodore Turley Family Book will be quickly outdated, as births marriages and deaths are constantly occurring. Despite that fact, we hope the book can serve to help us get to know our relatives better and to appreciate more fully the blessings the Lord has given the Turley family. And also, to gain an appreciation for the great posterity that is Theodore Turley's.
We wish to note that this book is only as accurate and as excellent as its contributors and compilers and ask that all read it with the Intent to enjoy and learn. We feel genealogical work should not be based on the Information contained within these pages without further collaboration with other sources.
The headings within the chapters are designed to help keep generations distinct. All children of Theodore Turley will have their names capitalized and underlined; all grand­children of Theodore Turley will be capitalized only; great grandchildren's names will be underlined; and great great grandchildren will have their names typed plainly.  For example:
CHILDMARY ANN TURLEY COOK
GRANDCHILDMARY EFFIE COOK HECTOR
Great Grandchild_George Washington Hector
Great Great GrandchildChester Hector
This system will be used throughout the chapters except with the picture captions, which will be plainly printed. All section entries will be centered in the page above the in­formation given about that Individual. The intent of the book was to give space to the descendants of Theodore Turley to the fourth generation only, and we have followed that in our headings; but much information can be obtained about later generations by reading within the sections. Also, the name for each heading is the direct line descendant of Theo­dore Turley--in order to find the name of the spouse, you will have to read In that section.
We hope this book can be enjoyed by all who read it. I have learned much about the scope of experiences man may en- • counter by working on this book.

BIOGRAPHY AND AUTOBIOGRAPHY
Preface
Theodore Turley, born April 10, 1800, Brenton, Birming­ham, County Warwick, England, the son of William Turley, born 1770, son of Joseph Turley.  His mother was Elizabeth Yates, born 10 September 1775, Edgbraston Parrish, Staffordshire. Married Francis Amelia Kimberly, November 27, 1831 by Rev. R. Robertson at Harborne, Staffordshire, who was born June 22, 1800, and died Aug. 22, 1848, at Florence, Winter Quar­ters, Nebraska.  (Buried in Grave 20.) Theodore Turley and Francis Amelia Kimberly were endowed In the Nauvoo Temple Dec. 20, 1845, and sealed 19 Jan., 1846. Their family con­sisted of five sons and five daughters; two born in England, six in Canada, and two in Nauvoo.  Theodore Turley and Sarah Ellen Clift were sealed in the Nauvoo Temple December 25, 1845, adopted the two sons of Sarah Ellen and had two sons and one daughter. Theodore Turley was sealed to Eliza Clift in the Nauvoo Temple Feb. 2, 1846, their family consisted of two daughters. Theodore Turley and Mary Clift were sealed in the Nauvoo Temple Feb. 2, 1846, their family was two sons and two daughters. Theodore Turley and Ruth Jane Giles were sealed in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City June 9, 1850, their family consisting of two sons born in San Bernardino, Calif. Theodore Turley died August 12, 1871 at Beaver, Utah.
"Behold, I will reveal unto you the priesthood, by the hand of Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. And he shall plant in the hearts of the children the promises made to the fathers, and the hearts of the children shall turn to their fathers.  If it were not so, the whole earth would be utterly wasted at his coming."  (D & C 2: Mal. 4:5-6)
The Prophet Elijah appeared in vision to Joseph Smith and
1
Oliver Cowdery on April 3, 1836. in the Kirtland Temple. What was his great mission one that would bring fathers and children so much closer together? The Prophet of old con­ferred upon Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery the keys of the sealing power the authority to seal husband and wife, par­ents and children for time and all eternity.
The great Prophet brought to the earth the keys which make it possible for mankind to be saved in the highest glory of the Celestial Kingdom. With great blessings come great responsibilities.  It became the responsibility of every Latter-day Saint to seek out his kindred dead and have saving ordinances performed for them, for persons can only be exalted in family groups.
Joseph Smith said; "The greatest responsibility in this world that God has laid upon us is to seek after our dead." Speaking of ordinance work for the dead, he said: "Those saints who neglect it, in behalf of their deceased relatives, do it at the peril of their own salvation." Neglect is not something which happens over a long period of time it hap­pens everyday. Every time a day passes that we do not do something for our dead, we are neglecting them. Let us not neglect this important work.  If those who read this Biography are not made more aware of their responsibility to their dead, then the Biography has no value.
I have regarded this a work of love and devotion a sacred duty. My father is Wallace Mar Turley, a son of Alma Reuben Turley, a son of Isaac Turley, son of Theodore Turley, about whom this work devolves.  In all sincerity, I bear tes­timony that my heart has been turned to my fathers--not only to the ones mentioned above, but the countless hundreds and thousands who have made my life possible.
The preparation of this Biography has been a very diffi­cult task, and only through the cooperation of many individuals was its completion possible.  I extend sincere thanks to Bro­ther A. William Lund, Assistant Church Historian, for granting me permission to use materials available in his office.  Bro­ther Laurltz C. Petersen of The Library Staff in the Church Historian's Office was very helpful and deserves much credit. Brothers Newburn I. Butt and Joseph Sudweeks of the Brigham Young University Library Staff also rendered assistance.  I am especially grateful to my parents, Wallace M. and Marga­ret W. Turley, for encouragement, financial aid and help in proofreading. Dorothy 0. Hatch also helped with the proof­reading.  Hortense M. and Helen Fuller spent many hours and contributed much materials.  Bits of information, helpful suggestions, and encouragement were received from Charles Turley, Floyd Turley, Alma Turley Heaton, Ernest Turley, Esther Turley McClellan, Gerald Fuller, Hazel M. Roy, Fred Turley, and Josephine Turley Hatch.  If this work has any value, it may be attributed to the above named individuals.

Corrections and Additions to "THEODORE TURLEY BIOGRAPHY AND
AUTOBIOGRAPHYBy Olive K. Turley
The Nauvoo Records give Theodore's birth date as 10 April 1801.  He was baptized in St. Martin's Parish, Birm­ingham, Warws., Eng., 27 May 1801.
Mr. W.E.C, Cotton, late of London, researcher for us for more than eight years, said there never has been a par­ish by the names of Breton or Brenton, Briton or Brinton In Birmingham.  I'd like to know where these names came from and why the differences In spelling.
Theodore was baptized in St. Martin's Parish, the older sister at Deritend Chapel in Aston Parish, and his younger brothers and sisters in St. Philip's Parish, all in Birming­ham, and near the center of the city.
Hurst Street was just south of the center of the city. The William Turley family lived on a street called Holloway Head in 1817, when the son William died, and on the street called The Horse Fair in 1830, when Frederick died. These last two streets are just south of Hurst Street. The deaths and names of streets come from Aria's Birmingham Gazette, and the streets have been located on a map of Birmingham in our possession.
Elizabeth Yates was baptized in Edgbaston Parish, Warws., Sept. 10, 1775, but was likely born a few days earlier.  Edg­baston is to the southwest of Hurst Street.
The Vicar at Harborne looked for Theodore's marriage in his registers but didn't find it.  I suppose sometimes the clerks failed to record events; however, it is a likely place. His first son, Theodore Jr., was born 4 Sept. 1882, and bap­tized at St. Phillip’s Parish 26 Nov. 1822, likely on their first wedding anniversary.
(Corrections made by comparing the printed Biography with a Photostat copy of the original diary of Theodore Turley.  I will give the date of the entry and the corrections. Each can be found In either edition by looking for the date from the diary. However, this first information, which comes from page 2 of the Photostat copy, Isn't given under a specific date in the Biography.)
Page 2 of Photostat says: Theodore and family arrived at Far West 18 July 1838.  It also says that he took leave of his family for his mission to England, 21 Sept. 1839.
The Biography gives the names of places in the Potter­ies section of England as Stake or State or Hauley.  In ev­ery case the original diary very plainly gives them as STOKE and HANLEY. Quoting from Vol. 18 of American Peoples Ency­clopedia concerning the city of Stoke-on-Trent (on the River Trent):  "The city is composed of the six towns of Stoke, Burslem, Hanle, Longton, Tunstall, and Fenton which were united in 1910."
Feb. 7, 1840:  This woman was the widow of HUGH BOLTON KIMBERLEY, brother of Thomas, Frances Amelia's father. Both
men died in 1832. This widow was found in the 1851 Census. At that time, English widows liked to be called by their dead husband's name.  I imagine Theodore decided to add the
word "Hugh" so we would know which aunt it was.
Feb. 9, 1840:  should read "how has tradition bound round the understanding of the children of men."
May 3, 1840: as known by revelation should read:  "as MADE known by revelation"
June 25, 1840: the first sentence reads thus, "This morning I feel there is a spirit from the Powers of Darkness that takes (?) my heart (?).  (Can't be sure of these two words—they appear to be TAKS and HURT, which don't make sense.)  I ask God to preserve me and bless me and deliver me."
There are many places where the exact wording of the Diary isn't given in the copy, but as a rule, the meaning is about the same. However during the last month, July, many of the entries haven't been completely copied. There is a story on July 19th of Theodore casting an evil spirit out of a young man.
One very important part that has been left out is on page 13 and 14 of the Photostat copy. Feb. 1, 1840 THE GENEALOGY OF MY ANCESTORS The age of my father, William Turley, born 1770.  Son of Joseph Turley in Segley (Sedgley) Parish, Staffordshire. Steward under Lord Dudley, clerk of the Parish. A man of understanding.  Died in the year about 1819. My father is now 70 years old.
Elizabeth Turley my mother, daughter of Ann Yates, born in Edgbiston (Edgbaston) Parish, Staffordshire (Warws.) in the year 1775.  Farmer Joseph Yates died in the year 1783. Ann Yates then married John Bolton. Year my grandmother (was) born, March 25, 1758.  Died 1824. Had 3 children:  Elizabeth, Thomas, and Ann Yates. My grandmother Hart had 14 children; her maiden name, Weakman (Wakeman?).  Died in her 50th year.
My mother married in the year 1792; had 9 children. Elizabeth, 1795; Mary Ann, 1796; Sophia, 1798; Theodore, 1800; William, 1804(7); Ann, 1805; John, 1808; Frederick, 1812; Charlotte, 1818.
It is possible for a man not to know exactly the year of birth of brothers and sisters and not the exact year of the marriage of his parents. It is strange that we have two different years of Theodore's birth, both given by him, but the baptism seems to indicate that 1801 is right.
On April 6, 1830, In Fayette, New York, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized--a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, which shall not be left to another people, and which finally shall consume all other kingdoms, and stand forever.  Surely the "times of restitu­tion of all things," spoken of by the Prophets of God, had now come, for the angel had flown in the midst of heaven, "having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people."
True, an angel had restored the Gospel, but he had not preached it unto "them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people." That responsi­bility was left with the membership of the Church, which at that time consisted of some six to nine persons. An impos­sible task? With the Restoration had come the Book of Mormon and the gift of the Holy Ghost. The missionary spirit de­scended upon the membership of the Church in rich abundance, so that they were happy to leave their homes and their fam­ilies to go forth and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As they went forth they found that the God of Heaven had for centuries been preparing a people to receive His Gospel; that they knew the voice of the Master. The success of these mis­sionaries was comparable with that of Peter and Paul of old, for they had the same message of salvation.
In the short space of 120 years the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has become the greatest force for good in the world. Today we can be thankful to the Lord for the Restoration of the Gospel; and we can be thankful to our progenitor and heir, Theodore Turley thankful that he had the courage to receive the testimonies of these early mis­sionaries and accept the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which has made it possible for us to enjoy the blessings and happiness to be received there from. Let us concern ourselves in some measure with the life of Theodore Turley how he was contact­ed by missionaries, his conversion to the Gospel, and how it affected his life:
I. HIS EARLY LIFE 1800-1825
Theodore Turley was born April 10, 1800, just thirty years and four days before the organization of the Church, In Brenton, Birmingham, England.  His father, William Turley, and mother Elizabeth Yates, were the parents of ten children, and were staunch professors of Godliness.
It is probable that the early years of Theodore were spent in the vicinity of Birmingham, for in 1818 he commenced preaching Methodism there. Preaching was not his only con­cern, for we find that on November 26, 1821, in the Harborne Church in Staffordshire he was married to Francis Amelia Kimberly by Rev. R. Robertson. As the story goes, this Francis was a very brave girl, and had decided that she would never marry a coward. At one time one of her suitors was on guard duty.  In order to test him she got a gun, concealed herself in one of the nearby trees, and fired seven shots. Francis
did not marry that man. Later, when she was ready to get married, all of her suitors were called in and lined up be­hind a curtain, vith their hands out. It is said that she chose Theodore's hands because they were not soft, and be­cause they showed character. Theodore was a master mechanic, and for some time previous to the year 1825 was employed by the King of England. He and his partner had a contract to make dies to stamp English money. When the job was completed the partner collected the money and skipped town, leaving Theodore with some bills to pay. His creditors were about to have him thrown into Jail when the King, who had taken a liking to Theodore, realized the situation and offered to give him a tract of land in Canada and set him up in a blood­ed herd of cattle. Theodore and Francis accepted this offer, and in 1825, with their two children, emigrated to Canada.2
II. HIS CONVERSION
They settled at Lake Ontario and Theodore continued to preach Methodism, We can Imagine that their activities in Canada were very much as they had been in England.
In the year 1836 Elder Parley P. Pratt carried the Gos­pel to Canada. While on this mission he converted, among others, Elders John Taylor and Isaac Russell, who continued to preach Mormonism after Elder Pratt had departed. They had considerable difficulty obtaining a place to preach; fi­nally they called upon Theodore Turley to see if they could obtain the use of his chapel to present the Gospel. Theodore not only loaned his chapel, but asked the members of his con­gregation to come and listen.  They sang, prayed, and listen­ed to the message. Theodore said to himself, "that is the truth and I shall be condemned if I do not accept it."3 in the words of Theodore Turley, "He (Isaac Russell) came to me and said he had been warned in a dream that he must come to my house and preach.  I received the truth the first time I heard It, and my wife also was baptized on the 1st of March, 1837.
Quoting Theodore Turley's journal again, we find "Bap­tized, confirmed and ordained a Priest by Elder Parley P. Pratt March 1, 1837." There Is an error here, either in the date or the person performing the ordinances, for Parley P. Pratt was not In Canada at that time. He did return to Can­ada a little later, however, and it Is very possible that at least Theodore's ordination in the Priesthood was performed by Elder Pratt.  In the Journal History of the Church, dated April 24, 1837, we find the following entry:  "A conference was held at Churchville. Theodore Turley was ordained a Priest.
Theodore was "called to take a mission, March 2, 1837, built up a Church of 17 members in three weeks; among the members were Elders Mulholand, Staunding and Mulliner."5 Concerning Elder Mulliner. we have the following record: He and his wife, Catherine Nisbet Mulliner, emigrated to America in 1832, and settled near the city of Toronto. There they
first heard the fullness of the Gospel proclaimed, and were baptized by Theodore Turley September 10, 1837.6 It is also believed that Theodore was instrumental in converting a Sis­ter Heward.
"Then I was ordained an Elder by Parley P. Pratt, con­tinued preaching until we went to Kirtland and from there to Missouri and remained one year."?
Before we leave Canada it may be interesting to note a prophecy given by Heber C. Kimball upon the head of Parley P. Pratt before he went on his first mission to Canada. "Thou shalt go to Upper Canada, even to the city of Toronto, the capital, and there thou shalt find a people prepared for the fullness of the gospel, and they shall receive thee, and thou shalt organize the Church among them, and it shall spread thence into the regions round about, and many shall be brought to the knowledge of the truth and shall be filled with joy; and from the things growing out of this mission, shall the fullness of the gospel spread into England, and cause a great work to be done in that land."8 Certainly this revelation had reference particularly to such men as Elder John Taylor, but it may be more than coincidence that Theodore Turley ac­tually was prepared for the fullness of the Gospel, did help spread the Gospel to the "regions round about", and later performed a mission for the Church in England.
"Sold my farm for $1400.  Started with two wagons and four horses in company with Elder John Snider and family, Jo­el Terry and family. Arrived In Far West on July 18, 1838. Elder Babbo (or Balbo) and family, and Bro. Lemon and his family also went with us.  Distance about 1000 miles traveled by land, desirous of settling my family in peace, far from the noise of war, etc., with the advantages of communion with the people of God."9 Under date of July 28, 1838, Joseph Smith makes special mention of Brother Turley s arrival.  "Elder Babbitt, with his company from Canada has arrived, and Brother Theodore Turley is with him."10
From that time forward it was the lot of Theodore and his family to suffer the hardships and persecution which followed the Saints in those days. Why were they willing to make these sacrifices? Could any other reason in the world have persuaded them to leave their comfortable home as well as a prosperous business in Canada and travel miles over a wilderness only to be met with the wicked treatment of a vio­lent mob, than a burning testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and an assurance that the Spirit of the Lord was with them?
III. HIS ACTIVITIES IN FAR WEST 1838-1839

Before delving into the activities of Theodore Turley in Far West perhaps it would be well to consider briefly the state of affairs on the Saints there. Those who had been
living in Jackson County were brutally driven from the place by mob action in 1833. The people of Clay County had taken them in temporarily, but when It was found that they would not be able to go back to Jackson County the citizens of Clay County informed them that they were no longer welcome there. Although the Saints were in no condition to travel they left Clay County peacefully and settled principally in Far West. During these years the main body of the Church was in Ohio. In the face of persecution and poverty they were striving to complete the Kirtland Temple. It was indeed a dark time for the Church, for in the latter part of 1837 over half of the members of the Church in Kirtland were either excommunicated or left the Church.  Because of persecution both within and without the Church, the leaders were forced to flee for their lives. They were followed by the loyal members of the Church in the latter part of 1837 and the early months of 1838; their destination was Far West.  Besides these two groups, there was a large emigration from Canada in 1838, of which Theodore Turley was a member.
Even in Far West the Saints were not free from persecu­tion, much of "it being instigated by the State. __ ''The Devil and all his host was determined we should not enjoy it long for he caused the Missourians to maltreat us and unconstitu­tionally drive us from the State."11 Under date of October 27, 1838, Governor Boggs Issued his infamous Extermination Order, stating that "the Mormons must be treated as enemies, and must be exterminated or driven from the State as necessary for the.public peace their outrages are beyond all descrip­tion."1Z Probably the first fruits of this order was the Haun's Mill Massacre. On the 31st of October Colonel George M. Hinkle, the highest militia officer in Caldwell County, betrayed Joseph Smith and other leading brethren to the mob, and the Saints were left to their own devices.
In December of 1838 Theodore Turley was appointed by the citizens of Caldwell as a member of a committee to draft a memorial to Congress and sign It in their behalf.13 He was also a member of the High Council of Zion, which met In Far West Wednesday, December 19, 1838.I4 "I was ordained a Sev­enty in Far West in 1838 by Heber C. Kimball.""  (The date was December 22.) On the 19th of January, 1839 the Council of Seventy met at the home of Theodore Turley.1°
In the minutes of a public meeting at Far West, Jan. 26. 1839, it was resolved "that a committee of seven be appointed to make a draft of a preamble and resolutions. . .'to be pre­sented to a future meeting for their consideration." Theo­dore Turley was one of the committee appointed.  It was also resolved "that the committee be further instructed to ascer­tain the number of families who are actually destitute of means for their removal, and report at'the next meeting."!'
On January 29, the second meeting was held.  "On motion of President Brigham Young, it was resolved that we this day enter into a covenant to stand by and assist each other to .the utmost of our abilities in removing from this State, and that we will never desert the poor who are worthy, till they
8
shall be out of the reach of the exterminating order of Gen­eral Clark, acting for and in the name of the State.
"After an expression of sentiments by several who ad­dressed the meeting on the propriety of taking efficient mea­sures to remove the poor from the State, it was resolved, that a committee of seven be appointed to superintend the business of our removal, and to provide for those who have not the means of moving, till the work shall be completed."18 Says Theodore Turley, "Was appointed one of the committee to re­move the poor after Boggs* extermination order,"!'
In the evening of the 19th the committee, who had been appointed for removing the poor from the State, met at the home of Theodore Turley, and organized themselves. Over three hundred and eighty of the Saints subscribed themselves to the previously mentioned covenant.
"Joseph, the Prophet, not willing to be behind the other brethren in the good work, from his gloomy dungeon at Liberty, sent the brethren $100 to assist in removing the "Saints."20
On February 1 the committee again met at the home of Theodore Turley. The number on the committee was increased to eleven.  "Several of the committee addressed the meeting on the arduous task before them, and exhorted all to exert themselves to relieve and assist them in the discharge of the duties of their office, to the utmost of their abilities. Elders Young and Taylor in the most forcible manner addressed the assembly on the propriety of union in order to carry our resolutions into effect. . -The committee met again in the evening at the home of Theodore Turley.21
On February 12 "the committee on removal sent a delega­tion to Sister Murie to ascertain her necessities. . ." Ap­plications for assistance were made by several of the Saints. On the 13th it was voted that "Theodore Turley be appointed to superintend the management of the teams provided for re­moving the poor, and see that they are furnished for the journey."22 The next day the committee met again and "Elders Bingham, Turley, and Shearer, were appointed to sell the house of Joseph Smith, Sen., to a gentleman from Clay County."23 The next meeting we have record of was at Theodore Turley's on March 8.
On March 15 "the Prophet Joseph and others petitioned Judge Tomkins, or either of the Supreme Judges of the State of Missouri, for a state's Writ of Habeas Corpus, that he and his brethren might be brought before either of those judges, that justice might be administered," Heber C. Kimball was requested by the Prophet to go to Jefferson City to present the petition, and Theodore Turley was appointed to accompany him.  "We took copies of the papers by which the prisoners were held, with the petition to the Supreme Judges, and Immediately started a distance of 300 miles; visited the judges, and laid the whole matter before them individually, according to our best abilities; neither of them would take any action in the case, although they appeared friendly and acknowledged that the brethren were illegally imprisoned. We
also presented a petition to the Secretary of State, the Gov­ernor being absent. He appeared very kind, but like the other officers, he had no power to do good."24
They returned Immediately to Liberty. Arriving there on the 30th they went to call on Judge King. He was very angry because they had reported the case to the governor.  I could," he said, "have done all the business for you properly. If you • had come to me; and I would have signed the petition for all except Joe, and he Is not fit to live."
"They then visited the prison, but were not permitted to enter; all the communication they had with the prisoners took place through the grate of the dungeon.  Joseph bid the breth­ren to be of good cheer; 'for,' he said, 'we shall be deliv­ered; but no arm but God can deliver us now,1 Tell the breth­ren to be of good cheer, and get the Saints away as fast as possible."25
"On April 5th, Brothers Kimball and Turley returned to Far West.  On that day a company of about fifty men in Davies County swore that they would never eat or drink again until they had murdered Joe Smith. Their captain, William Bowman, swore, In the presence of Theodore Turley, that he would 'never eat or drink, after he had seen Joe Smith, until he had murdered him.' Also eight men--Captain Bogart, who was the county Judge, Doctor Laffity, John Whitmer, and five others came into the committee-room at Far West and there pre­sented Elder Theodore Turley the paper concerning the revela­tion of July 8, 1838 to Joseph Smith, that the Twelve were to take their leave on the Temple site at Far West, on April 26th to go to the Isles of the Sea, and then asked him to read It. Turley said, 'Gentlemen, I am well acquainted with It.' They said, 'Then you, as a rational man, will give up Joseph Smith being a Prophet and an Inspired man, now he and the Twelve are scattered all over creation; let them come here, if they dare; If they do, they will be murdered. As that revelation cannot be fulfilled you will now give up your faith?'
"Turley jumped up and said, 'In the name of God that rev­elation will be fulfilled.' They laughed him to scorn. John Whitmer hung down his head. They said, 'If they (the Twelve) come, they will get murdered; they dare not come to take their leave. here; that is like all the rest of Joe Smith's d--d prophecies.' They commenced on Turley and said, 'You had bet­ter do as John Corrill has done--he is going to publish a book called 'Mormonism Fairly Delineated,' he is a sensible man, and you had better assist him.'
Turley said, 'Gentlemen, I presume there are men here who have heard Corrill say that 'Mormonism' was true, that Joseph Smith was a Prophet and Inspired of God, etc.  I now call upon you, John Whitmer. You say Corrill Is a moral and
good man; do you believe him when he says the Book of Mormon is true or when It is not true? There are many things pub­lished that they say are true, and again turn around and say they are false.'
10
"Whitmer asked, 'Do you hint at me?"
"Turley replied, 'If the cap fits, you may wear it; all I know is that you have published to the world that an angel did present those plates to Joseph Smith."
"Whitmer replied, 'I now say, I handled those plates; there were fine engravings on both sides.  I handled them; they were shown me by a supernatural power.' He described how they were hung and accordingly acknowledged all.1
"Turley then asked him 'Why is the translation not now true?' He said, 'I could not read it (in the original) and I do not know whether it (i.e., the translation) is true or not.' Whitmer testified all this in the presence of eight men."26
Also, on April 5 the committee on removal met, and the subject of "providing some clothing for the prisoners at Richmond was discussed, and the propriety of sending two brethren to Liberty, to make sales of some lands, was taken up, and Elders H. G. Sherwood and Theodore Turley were ap­pointed.27
The next day the committee on removal met in council. . . "The business of the council was the consideration of the or­der of the leaders of the Daviess mob, delivered this day to the Saints in Caldwell County, to leave before Friday next." They decided to move the Saints out of the"" county to Tenney's Grove.  "The mission of Elders Sherwood and Turley to Liberty was deferred for the present." Sunday, April 7, the committee met again at Theodore Turley's.28
"When the Saints commenced removing from Far West, they shipped as many families and as much goods as possible to Richmond, to go down the Missouri River and up the Mississippi to Quincy, Illinois. . .The exodus throughout was managed . with consummate wisdom, and in view of all the difficulties in the move, with less suffering than could have been expected. The distance to the point of the Mississippi River where most of the exiles crossed over to Illinois was over two hundred miles in an easterly direction. The weather was cold and the roads generally muddy and bad.  Scores of Saints died from exposure and fatigue on the memorable journey. The move was not undertaken in a solid body, and seldom in regularly or­ganized companies, but In small squads—two, three and from that to a dozen teams and upwards traveled together. Not a single family who wished to go was left behind, as the com­mittee appointed to superintend the removal paid particular attention to all the poor, and furnished them with the neces­sary teams and provisions to perform the Journey.
"While the Saints were making preparations to move away as fast as possible the mob was 'continually threatening the
lives of the members of the committee and others. Thus, fre­quently, armed bands of mobbers came into Far West and abused men, women, and children, stole horses, drove off cattle, and plundered houses of everything that pleased them. . .Because
11
of the persecutions,the committee, on the 14th of April, 1839, moved thirty-six families into Tenney's Grove, about twenty five miles from Far West, and a few men were appointed to chop wood for them, while Elder Turley was to furnish them with meal and meat, until they could be removed to Quincy. The corn was ground at the committee's horse mill at Far West.
"On the morning of the 18th Elder Kimball went into the committee room and told the members of the committee who were present to wind up their affairs and be off, or their lives would be taken. Later in the day a number of mobbers met Elder Kimball on the public square in Far West and asked him if he was a d--d 'Mormon1.  He replied, 'I am a "Mormon". 'Well,' they said, "G-d d--n you, we'll blow your brains out, you G-d d--d Mormon,' and they tried to ride over him with their horses. This took place in the presence of Elias Smith, Theodore Turley and others of the committee. Almost immedi­ately afterward twelve men went to Elder Turley's house with loaded rifles intending to shoot him.  They broke seventeen clocks into matchwood, broke tables, chairs and looking glasses, smashed in the windows, etc., while Bogart, the county judge, looked on and laughed. One mobber by the name of Whitaker threw iron pots at Turley, one of which hit him on the shoulder, at which Whitaker jumped and laughed like a mad man.  The mob shot down cows while the girls were milking them, and threatened to send the committee 'to hell jumping,1 and 'put daylight through them.'  The brethren gathered up what they could and left Far West in one hour. The mob stayed until they left, and then plundered $1,000 worth of property which had been left by the more well-to-do Saints to help the poor remove.  One mobber rode up and finding no convenient place to fasten his horse, shot a cow that was standing near, and while the poor animal was yet struggling in death, he cut a strip of her hide from her nose to the tip of her tail, which he tied around a stump and fastened his halter to it.
"During the commotion of the day, a number of records, accounts, history, etc., belonging to the committee were destroyed or lost, on account of which the history of the Church only contains a few definite dates of the doing of the committee.
"On the 20th of April. 1839, the last of the Saints left Far West.  Thus a whole community variously estimated from twelve to fifteen thousand souls, had left, or were about to leave the State of Missouri, where they had experienced so much sorrow, and found a temporary shelter in the State of Illinois, chiefly in Quincy and vicinity and a few in the territory of Iowa on the north."29
Theodore Turley "remained there (Far West) until all the saints were removed and Joseph Smith got out of prison."30 It is interesting to note here that in his haste Theodore tore some paper from the wall of his home in Far West, which is still in existence.31 He goes on to say, "I left in Caldwell a dwelling house and stable, garden, well of water with conveniences, a workshop well fitted up, ten acres of timber land, two town lots. Unrighteously driven from the same,
12
with about 10,000 (ten thousand) souls in company, trusting till God shall redeem us from the injustice of man.  In con­sequence of the extreme forteage of labors of fitting up teams, etc., to convey the poor to the State of Illinois; being appointed one of the committee for that purpose. The journeys to the various prisons; the journeys with Petitioning to the Gov. Boggs and to the Supreme Judge of the Courts of the State of Missouri.  Laboring variously for the relief of my brethren and sisters in bonds for the space of nearly six months; after the fatigues of war.  The particulars of which is impossible to describe.  Then journeying with my wife and six children 200 miles in a wet time; living in a tent for the space of 13 weeks and never having the privilege of sleeping under a roof for this time."32
"Elders Turley and Clark had traveled but a few miles from Far West when an axle-tree broke, and Brother Clark had to go to Richmond after some boxes, which delayed them some days.” 33  They were not delayed long, however, for on the 24th of April we find them at Tenny,s Grove.

In order to more clearly interpret some of the events which transpired during the next several days we shall have to review a few happenings of the previous year.
A revelation had been received by the Prophet Joseph on July 8, 1838, in which a commandment was given him to have the members of the Quorum of the Twelve to go on foreign missions. They were to take leave of the Saints in the city of Far West April 26, 1839, on the building spot of the house of the Lord.  This is the revelation which members of the mob and apostates from the Church had taunted Theodore Turley with a few days before.
"By the twenty-sixth of April, the day set for them to take leave of the Saints to start on their mission, nearly all the members of the Church had been driven from Far West."34 "It seemed almost impossible that the prediction could be fulfilled, as the Saints had all been driven out of Missouri, and it would, according to the threats of the mob, be as much as an Apostle's life was worth to be seen in Far West. Some of the leading men in the Church thought that in view of the persecutions and scattered condition of the Saints at that time, the Lord would not require the Twelve to fulfill his words to the letter, but, that under the circumstances, he would take the will for the deed.  The apostates and mobbers rejoiced at what they thought would be the failure of one of the revelations given through the Prophet Joseph; they thought that surely in this instance, at least, his words would be vain.
"But this was not the feeling of President Young and those of the Twelve Apostles who were with him.  He asked them individually what their feelings were upon the subject. Their desires were, they said, to fulfill the revelation. He told them the Lord had spoken, and it was their duty to obey, and leave the event in his hands, and he would protect them.  Consequently, Brigham Young, Orson Pratt. John Taylor, Wilford Woodruff, George A. Smith and Alpheus Cutler left
13
Quincy for Far West to fulfill the revelation.  They met John E. Page, who was an Apostle at that time, on the road, and told him they wanted him to go to Far West with them, which he did."35
Just before reaching Far West (at Tenney's Grove) Brigham Young and his traveling companions met Brother Smith, Turley, and Clark of the committee who had been left there to attend to the removal of the poor Saints, but had been driven from town. They told the Apostles that members of the mob had come into Far West and tantalized them on the subject of the revelation, saying that it was one of Joseph Smith's revelations which could not be fulfilled, as the Twelve Apostles were scattered to the four winds; and they threatened them severely if they were found in Far West the next day.  In the face of these threats Elders Smith, Clark, and Turley turned around and accompanied the Apostles and the other brethren to Far West, having faith that the Lord would protect them.
"Early on the morning of the 26th of April--- the day mentioned in the revelation--a conference was held, 31 per­sons were cut off from the Church, and the Apostles and Saints proceeded to the building spot of the Lord's House.  Elder Cutler, the master workman of the house, then recommenced laying the foundation, agreeable to revelation, by rolling up a large stone near the southeast corner." Seven of the Twelve Apostles were present.  "They then sang 'Adam-ondi-Ahman;' after which they took leave of eighteen Saints, agreeable to the revelation.  The conference was then adjourned
"As the Saints were passing many from the meeting, Theo­dore Turley said to Elders Page and Woodruff, 'Stop a bit, while I bid Isaac Russell good-bye,1 and knocking at his door called Brother Russell, whose wife answered, 'Come in; it is Brother Turley.'
"Russell replied, 'It is not; he left here two weeks ago.' He appeared quite alarmed; but on finding it was Tur­ley, asked him to sit down, but he replied, 'I can not; I shall lose my company.'
"'Who is your company?' inquired Russell. '"The Twelve.' "'The Twelve?'
"'Yes, don't you know that this is the 26th, and the day the Twelve were to take leave of their friends on the founda­tion of the Lord's house, to go to the islands of the sea? The revelation is now fulfilled, and I am going with them.'
"Russell was speechless and Turley bid him farewell.
"Thus was that revelation fulfilled, concerning which the enemies said:  If all the other revelations of Joseph Smith were fulfilled, that one should not be, as it had place and date to it."36
14
Concerning this Isaac Russell it may be interesting to note here that he was one of the first Elders to contact Theodore Turely in Canada.  He was also one of those thirty one persons who were excommunicated from the Church the morning of the 26th, without any hearing.  "Turley subsequently in Utah, related to Russell's sons, Samuel and George, that he was present at the conference near Quincy, ILL., where Joseph was informed of the proceedings at Far West, and that the Prophet there arose with tears in his eyes, and referring to Isaac Russell, said that he felt to bless him and that he should be blessed.  It is a fact worth recording that Brother Russell never took sides with the enemy either in word or deed."37
IV. HIS ACTIVITIES IN COMMERCE, OR NAUVOO
The principal point of exodus from Missouri was Quincy, Illinois. "During the summer of 1839 the Saints who had been driven from Missouri continued to gather at Nauvoo and settle on the lands which had been purchased by the Church Authori­ties. The violent persecution they had passed through in Missouri had well nigh wrecked the people.  They had been stripped of their earthly possessions, until they were re­duced to the most abject poverty. And the exposure and hard­ships endured made them an easy prey to the malaria that in­fected Nauvoo and vicinity. Another thing which doubtless contributed to make them unable to resist the ravages of dis­ease, was the fact that a period of relaxation was following the intense excitement under which they had lived for more than two years."38
Says Theodore Turley:  "We arrived in Commerce, Illinois, in the spring of 1839.  It being a new place on the banks of the Mississippi, hence without a house or convenience of a house to shelter in, but the spring being far advanced feel It necessary to set on to plant some corn, potatoes, etc., before I start to build my house.
"After accomplishing the same began to get logs, stone, etc. My family having the expanse of the firmament for a covering besides a tent made of factory cotton.  Frequently when I come home I find my family wet through to the skin, and the fire all washed away and my dear little children cuddled under their mother's cloak. Myself as wet as pos­sible, and no fire to dry our clothes. Sometimes the bed wet when we would rise in the morning, this would try the faith and patience of all."39
It was necessary that the patience and faith of the Saints be tried. Little did they realize that their next move would be many times more rigorous and tiring.  Only the strong would be able to survive.
The Saints were an industrious group, and began imme­diately to build a beautiful city where a swamp had been. Many of them contracted malaria and other diseases in the 'process, but even this brought blessings.  Perhaps never in
15
this dispensation has the gift of healing been so manifest as it was when Joseph Smith in company with other brethren were miraculously healed, rose from their beds, and went up and down the banks of the River healing the afflicted by the power of the Priesthood.
We now remember that Theodore Turley intimated to Isaac Russell that he was going on a mission. A conference of the Church was held May 4, 5, and 6, 1839, where Brother Turley was one of the Seventies appointed to accompany the Apostles to Europe.  Theodore's occupation at that time was gunsmithing. At the same conference it was decided that "Brother Turley's gunsmith tools shall remain for the general use of the Church until his return from Europe."40
After the conference adjourned Theodore was probably very busily engaged in making arrangements so that his family would be taken care of during his stay in the mission field. "In the forepart of June, 1839, Elder Theodore Turley raised the first house built by the Saints in Commerce, on 'Lot 4, Block 147, of the White Purchase,' or on the corner of what afterwards were named Water and Carlin Streets, on the same block upon which Joseph afterwards built the Nauvoo Mansion."41 Says Theodore Turley. "I came to Nauvoo with Joseph Smith the Prophet and built the first house that was built by a Mormon in Nauvoo; was one of the committee to fix the size of the lots and run off the streets and co."42
On the second of July Joseph, Hyrum, Sidney and others "all went to Brigham Young's, when Wilford Woodruff and George A. Smith were blessed as two of the Twelve Apostles; and Theo­dore Turley was blessed as a Seventy.  Brother Hyrum gave the Twelve some good advice on the nature of their mission; to practice prudence and humility in their preaching, and to strictly hold onto the authority of the Priesthood.  Brother Joseph taught many glorious and important principles to ben­efit and bless them on their mission; teaching them to observe charity, wisdom, and a fellow feeling for each other, and love one towards another, in all things,' and under all circum­stance, unfolding keys of knowledge, to detect Satan, and preserve us in the favor of God."43
On Sunday, August 4, 1839, "the Church passed a resolu­tion that the Twelve proceed on their mission as soon as pos­sible, and that the Saints provide for their families during their absence."44
V. HIS MISSION TO ENGLAND— FROM NAUVOO TO LIVERPOOL
"September came, and the Apostles prepared to take leave of their families and friends and depart on their mission to Europe. Again the evil one laid his plans to circumvent them.
As he once afflicted righteous Job. striving to overthrow his trust in God, he now sought by similar means to undermine the
faith and integrity of these latter-day servants of the Lord. But his efforts were unavailing; he had the same class of
16
spirits to contend with as in the days of old; men who could say with the patient man of Uz, though bowed in sorrow and humiliation; 'I know that my Redeemer liveth,' and 'though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him. "'45
The departure of these brethren on their missions is one of the remarkable phenomenon of the Church.  Brigham Young "had been prostrated for some time be sickness, and at the time of starting on his mission was so feeble that he had to be assisted to the ferry, only some thirty rods from his house. All his children were sick, and he left his wife with a babe but ten days old, In the poorest of circum­stances, from the mobs of Missouri had robbed him of all he had."46 "Elder Kimball left his wife in bed shaking with ague, and all his children sick.  It was only by the assis­tance of some of the brethren that Heber himself could climb Into the wagon."47 The others left their families in com­parable circumstances.
Theodore Turley records; September 1839, was set apart by the Prophet Joseph and Hyrum Smith, when John Taylor and Wilford Woodruff was to go to Engalnd. . .Took leave of my family this day under peculiar circumstances considering the late troubles we have had in the State of Missouri, it only being 34 months since I with my family left Toronto, Canada for Caldwell Co., Far West.  I was with the Twelve at the ful­filling of the revelation concerning the relaying the found­ation stone of .the Temple in Far West and then taking leave to go upon a mission to Great Britain.
"This connected with labors I was not accustomed to, brought upon me a bilious fever, etc., and was taken with western chill fever, confined eleven weeks.  However, having been set apart for the mission to preach the gospel in Eng­land, feel it my duty to start as soon as possible to per­form the same.  My children, five of them, have been sick with the fever and my wife worn out with fatigue, all seeming to cry to me, it is impossible for you to go.  The fever left upon one of my legs a swelling frightful to look at. My leg contracted, could not put it to the ground.  Feeling much on account of the Apostles, all but one being gone on their missions was determined that when the other one should start I would go at all risks.  Brother George A. Smith being the last and him better now, though still far from being in health, came and told me he was going on Saturday, this being Friday. Still fast in my bed, stated I should go with him.  Got the Elders to lay hands on and pray for me. Received some strength, my leg better, prepared for the start the next day."48
The departure of Elders George A. Smith, Reuben Hedlock, and Theodore Turley was no less remarkable.  Elder John Tay­lor records:  I would here remark that very few of my breth­ren that came along were any better situated than I was in regard to disease.  Elder Turley was taken out of his bed and put into a wagon when he started.  Elder George A. Smith and Elder Turley, who started together, were both so blind with disease that when driving the horse a little distance them­selves, they could not see a stump on the roadside, and running over it, were upset out of the carriage."49 "Elders Smith and
17
Turley were unable to get up, not because of any Injuries they had received, but because of their illness.  Elder Hed­lock helped them into their wagon and they resumed their journey. They had not proceeded far when they met some gen­tlemen who stopped their team and said to the driver:  'Mr., what graveyard have you been robbing?'  The remark being elicited by the ghostly appearance of the Elders enroute for England."50
"Thus in sickness and poverty, without purse and without scrip, leaving their families destitute of the comforts of life, with nothing but the assurance of the people, who were as poor as themselves, that they should be provided for, . . . (they) turned their faces toward Europe to preach the Gospel to the highly civilized peoples of the world. . .They had ringing in their ears the words of Jesus:  'He that loveth father or mother, houses or lands, wives or children more than he loveth me is not worthy of me.' And again they had the promise:  "There is no man that hath left houses, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children for the kingdom of God's sake, who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.'"51
Theodore Turley records:  "Six thousand miles traveled in company with Brother George A. Smith, one of the Twelve, and Bro. Hedlock of the Quorum of High Priests, traveled the first day 14 miles, stopped the night, having no grain for the horse, had to turn him upon the prairie for the night. The next morning started for Quincy when we had traveled a few miles was taken with the chill fever.  Shook and burnt with fever till we arrived in Quincy on the 24th of September, 1839, where we found Apostles Young and Kimball both sick.  Stopped the day and then started for the East, arrived in Gray Villo on the 27th and held meeting. The next morning started for Jacksonville on the 30th of Septem­ber.  Stopped at Bro. Wilson's, held meeting instructing the Saints in the things of God.  Stopped one day and a half; arrived in Springfield, Illinois, October 3.  Stopped with Sister Snider; received much kindness from the brethren. Met with them each night exhorting them and instructing them in the things of God, until the eleventh day.  Departed, leaving thence for Pleasant Garden; stopped at Bro. Pratt's."52
At Springfield they were met by Elders Kimball and Young. Friday, October 11, in the evening. Elders Young, Kimball, George A. Smith, Hedlock, and Turley started from Spring­field, traveled 8 miles on their journey, and stayed with Father Draper.  "When we went into the house Brother George A. Smith, while stopping down to warm him at the fire, dropped a small flask bottle, containing tonic bitters, out of his pocket, on the hearth, and broke it; at this occurrence Father Baker (Draper) was very much astonished, and said, 'You're a pretty set of Apostles, to be carrying a bottle of whiskey with you.' We explained to him that the bottle
contained some bitters which the brethren at Springfield had prepared for George A. because of his sickness; this ap­peased his righteous soul, so that he consented to allow us to stay through the night."53
18
Saturday, October 12, the Elders of the British Mission" left Father Draper's and pursued their journey toward Terre Haute. They arrived at Terre Haute on the 17th, and stayed with Nahum Milton Stow's. On the 17th Elder Heber C. Kimbal. had an unfortunate experience which almost cost him his life He became ill while staying with a drunken Dr. Modisett. The doctor gave him a tablespoonful of morphine, and only through the anxious care of Brigham Young during the night was his life saved. "In the morning Brothers Smith, Turley, Hedlock and Murray came to see us. They laid their hands on me and prayed for me. When they left they wept.  Father Murray felt very sorrowful; said he, 'we shall never see Heber again; he will die.'  I looked up at them and said, 'Never mind, brethren, go ahead, for Brother Brigham and I will reach Kirtland before you will.'  Brother Brigham gave them all the money we had except five dollars, and told them to take good care of the team, and make all possible speed to Kirtland."54 The next day the brethren resumed their journey.
Says Theodore Turley: "October 17th attended meeting with Bro. Babbitt Saturday and Sunday; three times.  Found Bro. Babbitt doing a great work here. On the 22nd of Octo­ber left for Indianapolis. Oct. 23rd, met Bros. Law and Hicks family east of Richmond. Received $25.00  to help us on our mission.  Oct. 26th arrived in Dayton where we found Bro. Taylor. Attended a conference in company with the brethren at Bro. Houton's 8 miles east.  Oct. 27th Bro. Taylor preached on Sunday and then arrived in Springfield the same night. Visited Columbus Prison in company with Bro. Smith, Taylor, and Hedlock (on Thursday we visited prison). The cells for each prisoner was 8 feet long and 4 feet wide. 480 convicts had commenced building the State House. We reached Lawderville on the 30th.  Thence to Worcester on the 1st of Nov., 1839. Arrived in Strongville on the 2nd; 3rd arrived in Cleveland.  4th met with Bros. Young and Heber C. Kimball after leaving them sick in their hotel. Arrived in Kirtland, visited the House of the Lord with the brethren on Nov. 5th, and 7th and on the 9th attended meetings in the House of the Lord, much gratified. And wrote to my family in the West. Met with the brethren in Kirtland every other night attended meetings with Bro. Taylor. We received our washings and etc., at Bro, McBride's house in company with Bro. Phelps of the Quorum of Seventies.
"And Bro. Miles Prest of the Seventies, Bro. McBride of the same Quorum and Bro. Dixon a member. Thence to the House of the Lord to proceed with the other part of the Holy Ordinance of God, to that of our anointing and washing of feet, etc., in company with Brigham Young, Heber C. Kimball, and George A. Smith, each of the Quorum of the Twelve and in company with considerable number of Elders, had a good meet­ing. The oil consecrated by Bros. Young, Kimball and Smith."55
Recorded in the Documentary History, we find:  "In the evening, President Brigham Young anointed Elder John Tay­lor in the House of the Lord, and Elder Daniel S. Miles anointed Theodore Turley, all of which was sealed with the
19
shout of Hosanna."
To continue with Theodore Turley's account, "Apostle Young anointed Bro. Taylor, Bro. D. S. Miles, Theodore Turley and part of the Elders Quorum. Prayer was then of­fered up by Brother Taylor for his own individual self. And then confirmed by shouts of Hosanna, ;and then offered up the desires of my heart; then confirmed and sealed by the congregation by shouts of Hosanna. Proceeded to the wash­ing of feet; Bro. Young washed Bro. Taylor's and D. S. Miles washed Theodore Turley's feet, and then Bro. Taylor delivered a prophecy. Meeting closed.  Bro. Young offered prayer. On the 20th met at Bro. Morton's in conference, Heber C. Kimball being called to the chair.  Four Elders volunteered to go and preach. On the 22nd parted with the brethren in Kirtland and came to Fareport to take steamboat for Buffalo. There being so great a storm had to wait 4 days in port. We had a quick and stormy passage down the lake. Took stage from Buffalo to Batavia, from thence to Rochester in steam cars and on the 29th of November, 1839, at 7 p.m.  Started from thence at 9 p.m. took stage to and from thence to Auburn where we left the Brethren, Brigham Young, George A. Smith. Left Bro. Kimball 8 miles east at Batavia to visit the brethren in that place. Arrived at Auburn 19th November 1839 at 10 a.m.
"Took cars for Albany in company with Bro. Taylor:  R.R. fare $7.50. Arrived in Albany Nov. 31, 1839 at 6 a.m. Took boat for New York.  Distances from Mississippi to N.Y. 511 miles, (one thousand five hundred and eleven miles.)
"My journal from Albany to the Potteries in England is written in a small ipto Jan. 26, 1849."  (ipto: up to?) Where is that journal?
"After much sickness, and many experiences in preaching the Gospel along the way, they. . .met In New York City on Dec. 13. . .At a conference held on that day in N.Y. , Parley P. Pratt prophesied that the mission of the Twelve to Great Britain would be known to all nations of the earth.  It has been fulfilled."56
The brethren spent a few days in N.Y. preaching and add­ing new members to the Church.  It is interesting to note here that "when Elder Taylor arrived in N.Y., Elder Woodruff had been there some time, and was all impatience to embark for England, but as yet the former had no means with which to pay for his ocean passage. Altho supplied with all the means necessary on his journey thus far, after paying his cab-fare to the house of Brother Pratt he had but one cent left.  Still he was the last man on earth to plead poverty, and in answer to inquiries of some of the brethren as to his financial cir­cumstances, he replied that he had plenty. . .
"That evening at a council meeting Elder Pratt proposed that the brethren assist Elder Taylor with means to pay his passage to England as Brother Woodruff was prepared and de­sired to go. To this Elder Taylor objected and told the Breth­ren if they had anything to give to Parley. . .as he had a family to support and needed means for publishing. At the close of the meeting Elder Woodruff expressed his regret at the course taken by Elder Taylor, as he had been waiting for him, and at last had engaged his passage.
20
"Elder Taylor:  'Well, Brother Woodruff, if you think it best for me to go, I will accompany you.'
"Elder Woodruff:  'But where will you get the money?1
"Elder Taylor:  "Oh," there will be no difficulty about that. Go and take a passage for me on your vessel, and I will furnish you the means.'
A Brother Theodore Turley, hearing the above conversa­tion, and thinking that Elder Taylor had resources unknown to himself or Brother Woodruff, said:  'I wish I could go with you, I would do your cooking and wait on you,'
"The passage to be secured was in the steerage these missionaries were not going on flowery beds of ease hence the necessity of such service as Brother Turley proposed render­ing.  In answer to this appeal, Elder Taylor told Brother Woodruff to take a passage for Brother Turley also.
"At the time of making these arrangements Elder Taylor had no more, but the Spirit had whispered to him that means would be forthcoming, and when had that still, small voice failed him? In that he trusted, and he did not trust in vain. Although he did not ask for a penny of anyone, from various persons in voluntary donations he received money enough to meet his engagements for the passage of himself and Brother Turley, but no more."57
And thus we see how the Lord watched over his servants. Says Heber C. Kimball:  "Brother Brigham often suspected that I had put the money in his trunk, or clothes; thinking that I had a purse of money which I had not acquainted him with, but this was not so, the money could only have been put in the trunk by some heavenly messenger, who thus ad­ministered to our necessities daily as he knew we needed."58
On December 19, 1839, Elders Woodruff, Taylor, and Tur­ley sailed out of the New York Harbor for Liverpool, England, on the packet ship Oxford.  Says Wilford Woodruff, "We had storms and rough weather, but most of the winds were favor­able for quick passage. While on the ship a Methodist min­ister got into a discussion with some Catholics who were in the company, and the arguments of the minister ran rather more into abuse than sound argument.
"Elder Taylor told the Methodist minister that he did not think it was becoming in a daughter to find so much fault with the mother as they did, for as the Methodist came out of the Catholics, Elder Taylor thought the mother had as much right to enjoy her religion unmolested as the daughter had That ended the argument."59
Before we take up his labors in the British Mission, Theodore Turley has an interesting insertion in his journal. "These lines composed by Eleanor Graham of New York on the departure of the Twelve:"
21
*My soul does grieve when I do know.
With whom we have to part,
'Tis with the servants of the Lord
So near unto my heart
And yet I know it is God's will
That you should from us go
To save mankind in other lands
From everlasting woe.
Go on ye servants of our God
To earth's remotest bounds
And preach the everlasting word
And heal the grievous wounds.
First to the Gentiles; then the Jews
And gather Israel in
The Lord now calls out, soon he'll choose
And cleanse the saints from sin.
May you fast o'er the waters ride
And land safe on the other shore
And spread the Gospel far and wide
Let darkness reign no more.
Farewell ye chosen Twelve, farewell
Until we meet again,
On Zion's land, I hope to dwell
And there with thee to reign
—Till then, farewell.*
Eleanor Graham"
V. HIS MISSION TO ENGLAND ACTIVITIES IN ENGLAND
"After an adventurous journey. Elders Wilford Woodruff, John Taylor, and Theodore Turley arrived in Liverpool, Eng­land, Jan. 11, 1840." On the 13th they visited with Mr. George Q. Cannon, father of President George Cannon.  In the evening they took cars to Preston., a branch which Heber C. Kimball had built up in 1837 and left in the care of Willard Richards. Three days were spent in Preston visiting the Saints.
They did not remain in Preston, however. On the 17th a council was held at the home of Willard Richards to deter­mine where the brethren should labor. Theodore Turley acted as scribe at that meeting.  It was arranged that Theodore go to the Potteries in Staffordshire, and to Birmingham if the Spirit so led. . ." The Potteries Included Tunstell, Burslem, Stoke, Lane End, and several other towns and villages. Let us remember that Theodore's family resided in the vicinity of Birmingham. He was led there, we may suppose, by the Spir­it. That town later became a Mormon stronghold second only in importance to London.61
On the following day the brethren met and blessed each other, and then separated and departed for their various fields of labor. Elders Woodruff and Turley traveled part of the way together. They went by way of Manchester, where Theodore Turley spent eight days before resuming his journey to Birmingham.
The material contained in the following pages is taken
22
largely from the History of the British Mission and Theodore Turley's Journal. No attempt has been made to incorporate these facts into a story.  They are presented simply as a day by day account. When not otherwise stated, the references are from the Journal.
Jan. 22, 1840. --Elders Woodruff and Turley arrived in the Potteries district and commenced their labors. Visited the home of Brother William Benbow and were kindly received by his wife, Sister Ann Benbow.62
Jan. 23. --Elders Woodruff and Turley held a well at­tended meeting in the home of Brother Alfred Cordon at Burslem and visited at the home of Brother George Simpson.63
"Jan. 27, 1840. —This morning woke up in health after a hard day's work yesterday, at Bro. Benbow, in Hawley, Staffordshire, after expounding the scriptures to the family walked two miles to Burslem. There found Elder Woodruff at Bro. Cordon's.  Took dinner at Bro. Cordon's then went to visit some of the saints, then walked to meeting at Lane End about 6 miles. Spoke after Bro. Cordon, then took supper (dinner) at Bro. Ira Whittiker, Lane End and then blessed his two children.  Laid hands on one Bro. for a swollen neck. Then went and laid hands on a sick child. Then blessed two children and walked back to lodgings very tired in body. Jan. 28, 1849 Tuesday morning at Cordon's feel something of the effects of yesterday's hard work.  (Recorded in the History of the British Mission we find:  "Elder Turley had quite a sore throat the day after their arrival.")  Spent day in conversation upon the Second Coming of Christ and the na­ture of Christ's Kingdom when it should be set up, etc. with Bro. Woodruff about the nations that will be left on the Earth when Christ reigns with his saints, etc. and I read consider­able, attended meeting at night in Burslem.  Bro. Woodruff preached and after which a man of the name of Jones opposed the work of God; read a pamphlet against the work of God, which I feel he will be delivered up to Satan.  I went to Hauley and slept at Bro. Benbow's and he gave me 5 shillings to help carry me to Birmingham this day, 29th of January, 1840.
February 3, Wilford Woodruff said, "I became convinced it was the will of the Lord for one of us to go to Birmingham and taking all things into consideration we thought it best for Elder Turley to go.  Consequently he left Burslem for Birmingham on the 29 of January." Under date of January 29. the day of his departure it is recorded, "Elder Theodore Turley left Burslem, Staffordshire, England, for Birmingham. Since his arrival in Burslem he and Elder Woodruff had preached almost daily and visited the Saints."64

Much pleased with John's wife and 4 children, so clean and neatly dressed. Much pleased with Sister Mill's children. George and Thomas are fine young men, as tall and manly as their father.

"Jan. 31, 1840. —This morning found myself in bed at my mother's with my grandfather by my side not little pleased to find all alive except Bro. Fredric.  Grandfather is able to work and earn his living. Works still in Livery Street where he has worked for 18 years. Walks a mile for his dinner every day. He is in good health.

I read several Chapters to my Mother and made a few remarks.  I then visited the market place and Town Hall, both the most splendid buildings I ever saw. The Town Hall is 152 feet in length, 65 feet wide, 65 feet high, inside; the organ more than 50 feet high; weight, 50 tons—equal to 100,000 Ibs; the length of center pipe, 35 feet; 2 feet In diameter, largest pipe 35 feet long by 3 feet in diameter; 3,000 pipes; 5 rows of keys; 63 stops.

I pray God to give my Bro. eyes to see the truth as it is in Jesus Christ. This after­noon I went to see Mr. J. Lilley a Methodist preacher, used to be acquainted with me 20 years ago.  He appears to be very dark as to the things of God.  I could not get him to understand the plan of Salvation, not the revelations as given the timely warning.  I spent the rest of the day in conversa­tion with my mother and family. Oh, I desire their salvation, I pray God to give me His Holy Spirit to help me and give them hearts to understand.  I hope to have an opportunity soon.   • Dined with Bro. R. Mills, visiting the 13 acres of land. Took tea at Bro. R. Mills; spent part of the evening with Bro.

Also, on February 8, Wllford Woodruff records: "I re­ceived a letter from Elder Turley Thursday; he was in Birm­ingham preaching to his relatives in the family circle, but was soon expecting to preach in public; he had hard work to preach to his parents, who had been professors of Godliness forty years, and had great confidence In their ministers."65
"February 9, 1840. --This morning took breakfast with Bro. John's family on purpose to converse with him on the things pertaining to the Kingdom of Heaven, walked with him some distance, but oh, how has tradition bound round them the understanding of the children of men. They truly have eyes but see not.  I long for their salvation, that the God of Heaven may grant me the desire of my heart in this respect. This afternoon spent with my relations. The house crowded with persons to see me.  I had an opportunity to testify of the goodness of God.  I am somewhat encouraged, hoping some of my relations will embrace the faith which is my earnest desire before the Lord. Slept this night with grandfather in Birmingham.

February 11, 1840. —This morning at my Sis. Davis1 at Atherstone, Warwickshire, Printer and Stationer, this morn­ing I am longing to leave my friends so that I may go to preach the Gospel to the world as some of my relations are not willing to receive my testimony. I pray God to open their eyes to see their situation, and privileges God offers them. This day spent with my sister in conversation with her on the nature of religion as revealed.  I took a walk out this afternoon meditating on the goodness of God to me and my family. Oh, I long to be worthy of that Comforter that Jesus promises to His Disciples the manifestation of the Father and Son, the ministering of Angels, the Lord grant it to me.
"February 12, 1840. —This morning is very wet; has been wet for a long time so that farmers of England can not get the seed into the ground.  There was but very little wheat sown last fall; there must be great distress next season in consequence.  It has been wet for about 10 months.  I am this morning still hoping soon to get into a field that I can labor in without giving offence to my relations. I think I shall soon go to Wolverhampton in Staffordshire. My Journal from this to the 14th of April, 1840 is written in a patent pock­et Journal."  (Where is that Journal?)
26
Elder Turley returned to the Potteries from Birmingham, and expressed a desire that Wilford Woodruff go to Birmingham to erect the standard, as it was his native place.  Says Wil­ford Woodruff, "He thought I should do better there than him­self; he had preached a few times in public this side of Birm­ingham, but not in Birmingham. And as I was getting ready to go, the Lord manifested to me that it was his will for me to go another way, which was to go to Birmingham, or about forty miles East of it."66 On March 16 we have the fol­lowing report:  "The latest account from Elder Turley, he was well, preaching and baptizing in the Potteries."*/
Sometime between March 16 and April 11 Theodore Turley was arrested and thrown into prison. We can only wish that his Journal during this period were available to us so that we could know more of the details. On April 11 Wilford Wood­ruff wrote:  "I went into the jail and had an interview with Elder Theodore Turley who had been falsely imprisoned upon a warrant for debt which had been contracted fifteen years before he left England and which he supposed was settled."68 Joseph Smith says, "The real object was to stop his preaching."69
Going back to Theodore's Journal, we find:  "April 14, 1840. --This morning my feelings and reflections are keen in this my confinement here in Gaol and my brethren whom the Lord has sent on this mission to England are now arrived in this land and I deprived of the privilege of meeting with them in Conference after leaving my family and all to preach the Gospel, now Satan has deprived me of an opportunity of preaching by shutting me up in prison. Thank God I can preach to the people here.  I ask for wisdom to act as the Lord would have me.  I wrote a letter this day to Elder Richards and the Twelve and one for one of the prisoners." The letter which follows is an excerpt from the one written to Elder Richards:
"I was privileged Sunday evening last for the first time of preaching publicly to all the prisoners of the debtor's wards.  I proclaimed the gospel to them, as well as I could. The Lord has been with me in my confinement. There came in­to this prison last Saturday, a Baptist preacher who used to preach in Hanley next to where we preached. He was requested to preach, but refused, stating in the usual spirit that they had better hear the Latter-Day Saint. With this they came to my cell.  I sprung at the opportunity, and after I had done, I called publicly upon him, if he had anything to say. He replied he thought they had better retire and ponder these things over in their cells. One is solemnly converted to obey the Gospel the first opportunity he has.  Several others are much taken up with the doctrines that I advanced and one in particular, a sensible man, who has been much perplexed with the doctrines of the day. So much so that his mind was almost poisoned against the Bible; he is now diligently searching the Scriptures.  I have lent him Elder Pratt's work, the 'Voice of Warning'; he wants to buy one. There is strife as to who shall have it.  I could sell some of them, if I had them, and they would be scattered to different parts of the land soon. Dear Brother! It is very difficult place to attempt to preach the pure principle of the Gospel in, for the mind of every individual is so busily engaged in contriving means to
27
elude justice, and at all intervals they bring out of their evil hearts the abominations therein contained, and in order to smother reflection they have resource to gambling and drunk­enness.  They also use the most obscene language I have ever heard, thus glorying in their shame.  I can not give you the particulars of my situation; I am awaiting the arrival of particulars from my brother and then I will send to you.  Dear Brother!  I feel much sorrow at being deprived of the bles­sings of attending the conference of the Twelve.  I am pleased at the sound of their arrival.  Satan's kingdom will quake, and the bulwarks thereof tumble to the ground.  I know that the Lord can accomplish His work without my labor in the vine­yard.  I am but a cipher before him, but whether I have the privilege or not, my heart is in the work, and I long to have the opportunity of lifting up my voice proclaiming the will of God."70
Continuing with his Journal:  "April 15, 1840. --This day I have spent in reading and writing and visiting a sick man here in prison.  I long to know the result of a letter I sent to my brother John Turley.
"April 16, 1840. --Still in prison but thank God I have my health better.  This day my mind is somewhat engaged in thought as this day the first conference is held on this land by the Quorum that God has chosen in these last days to preach the Gospel and warn this land of things that are com­ing upon the same.  I feel much at being deprived of the priv­ilege of meeting with them.  I have this day read considerable to a sick prisoner.  I hope he will obey the Gospel.  I have studied a little of the system of shorthand.
"April 17, 1840. --I received a letter from Bro. John Turley of Bern stating that Mr. L.. Attorney will take less than half he demanded of me and I have sent him an answer. Also, writing to Thomas Kimberley.  I pray God to bless my endeavors to do His will.
"April 18, 1840. --This being Good Friday, so-called in England. This morning I am well in health. Thank God for it. The morning spent in writing one Epistle to the Potteries and some shorthand.  I saw Bro. Thomas from Stoke.  He came into the prison for to see me, and brought me a loaf of bread. I spent the afternoon in writing 2 letters for 2 prisoners and some shorthand.  I preached publicly this evening to the debtors on the broken covenant and plainly preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ to them. After I had done a preacher of the Baptist order called me a demolisher.
"April 18, 1840. —This morning I received a letter from Sis. Eliza Bromley and Sis. Pool, from Manchester and from Bros. Smith and Woodruff, from New Castle and a brother from Lane all came to visit me this day in Gaol and brought me pro­visions and some money, received a letter from Bro. John and my trousers and linen. My poor mother does not know that I
am here in this confinement as it would be too much for her
to bear it at this time of her life, as she is weak in body.
I spent most of the day with my friends that came to see me.
I pray God to give me wisdom at all times to act in righteous-
28
ness before Him according to His Holy Laws.  I ask God to bless Sis. Pool that came so far to see me and the brethren and all the saints and my dear wife and all the children.
"April 19, 1840. --This morning I arose and wrote an epistle to Sis. Eliza Bromley of Lane End and I also received a letter from Elder Hedlock, stating that he was at the con­ference in Preston, and also the nature of his journey from the time I left him in Betavia, K.Y. There was a conference 33.branches represented, and somewhere about 1520 members. 33 Elders, 53 Priests, 33 Teachers , 10 Deacons, making in all 1650; thus you see how the work is rolling on In this land in the short time of two years and six days.  I spent part of this day reading.  This evening I preached to the people in prison on the principles of revelation, about two hours.  The Lord helped me, I now lay me down to sleep in my cell on my sackcloth, contented till any change cometh.  I pray God to bless my wife and children and all the Saints.
"April 20, 1840. —This day I wrote 3 letters for my fellow prisoners and one to Elder Hedlock, the rest of the day I spent in talking with the prisoners.
"April 21, 1840. --This morning I spent till breakfast in walking around the yard for exercise after breakfast Elder Cordon with 11 others came to see me in Prison.  I am much rejoiced to see my brethren and sisters, they brought me some food and some pudding from my daughter Eliza Bromley. I wrote a long epistle to my parents and all their children; directed to Bro. John Turley.  I wrote a letter to Wover hampton and then read considerable and this evening preached again in this prison.  Bore Witness to the revelations which have been made.  I pray God to help my exertions to spread the truth; I pray Thee to bless my family and all the Saints. Amen.  I ask for wisdom that the adversary may not have the power to destroy nor take advantage.
"April 22, 1840. —This morning wrote a letter for a poor prisoner and also an epistle to Wolver hampton to my relatives there. The rest of the day I spent almost in idle­ness, being put about with quarreling and swearing of those I am obliged to be amongst.  I am now tired of this situation and company.
"April 23, 1840. --This morning in good health, thank God for His goodness to me.  I am here but when I shall get away, I know not.  I hope soon. Long to hear from Bro. John. I have spent this morning conversing with some on the prin­ciples of righteousness. The whole day spent in conversing with the prisoners and wrote one letter.
"April 24, 1840. —This morning received a letter from Elder Taylor.  Says my family was in good health Feb. 2, 1840, thank God for that comfort. My mind is still anxious for news from Birmingham.  I wrote to Bro. John Taylor the same day. My testimony is requested by Mr. Penkhurst, I hope he may see.
29
"April 25, 1840. --This morning I await the arrival of the mail for news to decide my situation.  I pray God to bless my enemies and turn their hearts to Him.  I received a parcel from Sis. Bromley. Wrote to her; mailed a letter to Elder Hedlock.  I received a letter from my Bro. John with the sorrowful tiding that Thomas Kimberley could not let me have the means (money).  I wrote to him upon the subject. I received this like all other things as to prevent me having the chance of doing any good.  I saw this day in the paper a statement made by the application of Elder Cardon the mag­istrate for the license on House in Burslem as follows Latter-Day Saints. Alfred Cardon, a young man of the working class made application to Mr. Rose to have House in Burslem licensed for preaching in. He stated that lately he had been preach­ing in Hauley and that he had been prohibited in consequence of the House not being licensed.
"Mr. Rose: To what persuasion do you belong?
"Applicant: To the Latter-Day Saints, who have lately been sent by God.
"Mr. Rose: Have you been sent of God? "Applicant: Yes, sir.
"Mr. Rose:  I think there are plenty of Churches and Chapels in this neighborhood without licensing fresh places.
"Applicant: With great modesty. Yes, but God does not seem to approve of them. The magistrate not appearing dis­posed to argue the point, with the young man the matter dropped, now look out.
"April -26, 1840. —This day I feel cast down my mind heavily burdened with various reflections.  I know not how to act, far from home and means to employ a lawyer or to com­promise and above all, this may have a tendency to lessen me in the estimation of the Saints, but I appeal to the Court of Heaven and to that only can I depend. This evening a Mr. Penkhurst preached to the people here on the love of God, pleased most of them well. There is also a Methodist preach­er came in last Saturday. The Pharacauk principles are de­testable.  I pray God to act according to His will in all things.  I wrote to Elder Cardon.  God bless my wife and chil­dren. Amen.
"April 27, 1840. —This morning in good health, thank God, but I can not help saying I long to be out of the Hell and in the field of labor.  I wrote some of the debtors the first principles of the doctrines of Christ.  I preached this evening again the people are severely tried by the Devil to keep them from the truth.  I pray God to bless my efforts.
"April 28, 1840. —This day I have written a letter and seen my worthy Bros. George A. Smith and Willard Richards. They came to see me at Stafford Prison.  I hope in the God of my salvation he will deliver me out of this place.

"May 1, 1840. --This day spent In practicing shorthand. I pray God to grant me grace to do His will.  I do hope to hear from my Bro. John.
"May 2, 1840. —I received from the Saints of Lane End some provisions and a letter from Sis. Bromley.  I wrote her a letter.  I received a letter from Bro. George A. Smith, one in shorthand.
"May 3, 1840. —Sunday this morning I wrote a letter to a Rev. W. I. Shaw of Sheffield, making known to him the ' principles of the religion of Jesus Christ, as known by rev­elation.  I wrote a letter to Mr. Padock.  I this day feel sensible of my imprisonment.  I long for the time when I shall lift up my voice to the inhabitants of this land to warn them of the things that are coming upon them and the -necessity of repentance. This afternoon I received a letter from Bro. John Turley stating that he had been busily en­gaged for my deliverance and that there is prospect of my release.  I wrote him a letter.
"May 4, 1840. —Monday morning wrote to Bro. Cordon Burslem Staffordshire Potteries. The address. for Elder Hedlock Mr. John Sanders, Merchant, Alston, Cumberland,  Spent most of the day studying shorthand."
On’ May 4, Brigham Young wrote to George A. Smith, "I was glad to hear that you went to see Brother Turley.  I meant to have stopped to see him but it was otherwise.  I shall write him soon, I expect."71
"May 5, 1840. —This day I have written part of the sys­tem of shorthand, and in conversation on the Kingdom of Christ. Still in prison.

"May 7, 1840. —I spent the day as though I had nothing else to do than meditate and reflect as tho the Lord would give me deliverance soon."
On May 7, Brigham Young wrote to Joseph Smith: "Had any of us better come back this fall? I suppose that some that came over with us will return; Brothers Clark and Hedlock and Brother Turley if the latter gets at liberty.  I suppose you have heard that he is in prison. He has been there ever since my arrival in England, and how long he will remain the Lord only knows. He was put there through the influence of a priest, as nigh as I can learn, for some old pretended claim, but no one can find out what that claim is. .
31
I have just received a letter from Brother Turley, which states he expects to leave his place the next day."72
"May 8, 1840. --This morning I rose early.  Pleased with a dream. My little daughter came to me and said, Papa, Papa, I am glad to see you.  From various impressions I shall be delivered from this. This day at 8 a.m. I received the information that my discharge was come while I thank God for this blessing.  I then took the coach for Lane End and arrived at Bro. John Whittiker. Then went to Bro. Thomas Ameston's and then walked to State in company with Sis. Ameston.  Saw the saints in Stoke. They were so de­lighted to see me returned.  I slept at Bro. John Rowley's when there a number of the saints came to see me.  Slept in company with Bro. Smith. Laid hands on Sis. Elderson, she being sick.
Joseph Smith says, "Elder Theodore Turley was released from Stafford jail, where he had been confined since his ar­rest of the 16th of March last, at the instigation of John Jones, a Methodist preacher, on the pretense of a claim arising under a partnership with another man fifteen years ago, before he left England; but the real object was to stop his preaching.  He was without provisions for several days, but the poor Saints in the Potteries, on learning his condi­tion, supplied his wants, some of the sisters actually walking upwards of twenty miles to relieve him. He preached several times to the debtors, was visited by Elders Woodruff, Rich­ards, George A. Smith, A. Cordon, and others, and was dis­missed from prison on his persecutors ascertaining their conduct was about to be exposed.  This rather encouraged than disheartened the Elders, as I had told them on their leaving Nauvoo, to be of good courage, for some of them would have to look through grates before their return."73
"May 9, 1840. --This day in company with Elder George A. Smith walked to Burslem from Stake. We ordained Bro. Hume to the office of a Priest in the stake, he being much afflicted with rheumatism or rheumatics, he jumped up and ran after us praising God. When we arrived in Burslem much at my deliverance.  I then attended a conference where we ordained
2 Elders, Bro. Glover and B. Simpson, 2 Teacher, Bro. Brad­bury and Bro. Parker. Bro. D. Bowers was nominated Deacon, but not present. Slept at Bro. Johnson's.
"May 10, 1840. --Sunday this morning In company with Elder G. A. Smith I go to Hauley.  Bro. Smith preached. I brake bread.  In the evening I preached for a while and Elder Smith preached to the congregation.  Confirmed one member and ordained Bro. Daniel Bowers to the office of Deacon.
"May 11, 1840. --This day I wrote to Bro. John Turley and then walked to Stake and visited Sis. Handerson and several of the Saints and also one Mr. Mumford. Then I walked to Lane End, then visited the Saints there.  I hope they will be able to resist the Devil.  I preached to a large congregation.
32
"May 12, 1840. —This morning at Sis. Whittiker's I visited the saints in this place and accompanied Sis. Brom­ley to Stake and there laid hands on Sis. Handerson.  I then walked to Hauley to Mr. Martin's and after the necessary conversation baptized her. Then walked to Burslem and slept at Bro. Johnston's.
"May 13, 1840. —I went to New Castle to preach in company with George A. Smith, preached in the streets. One baptized." (This day Wilford Woodruff received a letter from Theodore Turley.)
On May 15, 1840, Willard Richards wrote the following to George A. Smith:  "I read your letter to Brother Young and also Brother Turley"s. . .If Brother Turley wants room to exercise, he will find himself abundantly supplied with room to labor here, and we recommend him to tarry at the Potteries till Brother Young comes, which will be in a few days.  Broth­er Young would like to see him, and we all rejoice with Broth­er Turley, and if he concludes to come here, or go elsewhere, let him do it secretly; let no one but yourself know where he goes, and his enemies can not follow, and he will save himself much trouble."74
Now back to the Journal:  "May 16, 1840. —From Stake to Hauley, visiting the saints and to Burslem and then to Hau­ley to be measured for some clothes, and then to Burslem to sleep.

Preached hard against the errors of the day, this evening at meeting with Elders Young and Smith. Slept in Burslem with the same brethren at Bro. Johnston's. We thought it best Bro. Smith and I to tarry in this region un­til conference."
This was the first time that Theodore had seen Brigham Young since he left New York, for by the time Brigham Young arrived in England, Theodore was in prison. Of this meeting Brigham Young reported the following to Elders Wilford Woodruff and Willard Richards:  "I found Brother Turley there; he feels well, is preaching and baptizing; he is going to Birmingham. I told him to go according to his own feelings; he is willing to do anything that we say; he wants to see you and sends love with the rest of us. 75

Leek to see if he could counteract the effects of my preaching
34
the Gospel.  But thank God he gave me words that he could not gainsay. The people that heard, some were left in amazement and others in praise of God for sending the truth.  I can't leave the people at present.  They are beginning to have their eyes opened.
"June 5, 1840. --Still in Grets Green Instructing the people in the things of the Kingdom.  I feel the awful sit­uation of those that are teaching the foul principles of man and leading the innocent astray from the paths of truth.

I then baptized John Robinson and Mary Robinson and Jane Wood.

The Lord enabled me to bare testimony to the things of God, . as made known by the ministering of angels.  I baptized two Mrs. Jones, and George Wood."
On June 8 Elder Theodore Turley wrote from Crets Green, near Birmingham, to George A. Smith:  "I left Lane End, and arrived in Birmingham a quarter before eight o'clock; at my father's, found them well. My brother's family are sick— no opportunity with my brother. He had to leave town upon business.  I preached to my parents;, my mother is so bound by the damnable errors of man; that she thinks so much of that, I am grieved.  I left on Monday for Broomwitch and found that my former preaching and letters from Stafford were not lost, but were working like leaven in meal.  One preacher had not preached Methodism; nor could'he.  I preached on Tuesday; all the time I have been there, there has been either preachers of leaders calling upon me, some in the spir­it of enquiry, others to try to eat me up.  It is hard fight­ing. They brought a traveling preacher, by the name of Leek, in this circuit, to oppose me. We had a discussion and the people were ashamed of, him.  Some are raging mad against me. There is one class really broken, up. Wednesday I preached, and Thursday also, and on Friday I baptized three. A preacher opposed me.  Six more gave their names for baptism on Satur­day and I was invited to the house of a gentleman at Hill Top; I had an interview with him.  He received me with warmth,
35
received my testimony, said he had tried to preach the gospel for thirty-five years, but was convinced that he lacked the power of God, and he had preached the second coming of Christ and the Restoration of the Jews. He had suffered much op­position on account of his going to try for me to preach in their chapel.  Sunday morning I held meeting, confirmed three, and administered the Sacrament to them.  I spoke to the con­gregation.  In the afternoon preached in the street and at night I was invited to fill the appointment of a Methodist local preacher. The house was filled and I preached two hours; many "believed. Numbers say they must be baptized. The preach­er stated publicly that he must be baptized; prayed that God would enable them to examine the truths that he had heard, and obey them. He and his wife told me that they will obey the commandment. A great fuss was raised.  I have no chance to visit the different places around.  I pray God to send more laborers in the vineyard.  Brother Smith, do come and help me here. There is Birmingham and Woverhampton, and ten or twelve other towns here, that are perishing.  This morning I have had a storm; a relative came to call me to task for baptizing two of his daughters; one is married, the other twenty-three years of age.  He has poured out his Meth­odist threats against me, but I was as independent in feeling and speech as the Son of a King."
"June 9, 1840. --Not well, had a bad night's rest. I went to see my parents. I traveled to Birmingham. I long for their salvation. Slept at my father's.
"June 10, 1840. —This morning had some conversations with my grandfather upon the subject of baptism. He confessed it a duty, but is fearful of his health being injured.  I took leave of my parents and traveled to West Broomwitch and preached at Bro. Robinson's. After preaching, baptized two, Bro. Painter and Sr. Walker.
"June 11, 1840. --Not enjoying good health; God is good to me.  There is much opposition.  Sister Jane Wood has much to try her faith.  I preached to a good congregation this evening at Princess End; had a conversation after.
"June 12, 1840. --Visiting the people, communicating the truths, there is much opposition to the truth In this place. Preached at night at Bro. Robinson's in Grets Green.
"June 13, 1840. --Traveled to Birmingham, 6 miles, to see my father and mother. Went to visit my relations.  Sis. Mathan has received oil for the sore affliction of rheumatics. Thank God he hears my prayers on her behalf.  She was very kind to me when in prison.  The Lord reward her for all, and I bless her in the name of the Lord. Amen.
"June 14, 1840 --Arose early to converse with my father and grandfather.  My father told me he was ready to be bap­tized. He would like grandfather to go at the same time.  I walked to West Broomwitch. My Sis. Charlotte accompanied me. Met the saints at Bro. Painter's.  The rest of the even­ing instructing among the people. They threaten my life; the influence of priest craft is so great that it makes it hard work.
36
"June 15, 1840. —I walked to Birmingham with my sister. She came to preach.  Spent the day in Birmingham; at night I taught my parents the nature of Faith.
"June 16, 1840. --Walked to Grets Green; then visited from house to house, teaching of the things of the Kingdom. Then walked to Wedensbury.  Preached in the Baptist chapel; then walked to Grets Green,  Very stormy; caught a bad cold; had a number of preachers to hear me.

There was a number waiting for to injure my body.  Some threatening to horse whip me and others threaten­ing to put me down a coal pit. They surrounded the house till 2 a.m.  One came in, and called me all ill names and gave many threats.  My sister Charlotte from Birmingham brought me a letter from America that comforted my heart.  Saying (a page was torn from Theodore's Journal so we do not know what the letter stated.)
"June 21, 1840. --This morning arose at 4 a.m. to go and baptize Bro. Walker and Sr. Painter, 8 of our friends accom­panied me to the water.  Returned, held a prayer meeting and then took breakfast, 10 met in the church in sacrament.  2:30 p.m. and at 6 p.m.  Slept at Enoch Woods.

On June 23 Wilford Woodruff called upon sister Mary Packard who informed him that Elder Turley was in another part of the town and had commenced baptizing.
"June 24, 1840. --Went with Bro John Turley to the factory and to see the Alms House, etc.  I then took dinner at my mother's.  I then walked to West Broomwitch to see Elder Wilford Woodruff; he sent me a letter to mother's.  I called to visit Mr. Ecke.

Mathews and confirmed him on the road and he went on his way rejoicing.  Ordained Bro. Painter, Priest and Bro. Robinson, Teacher, and then slept at Bro. Woods in company with Elder Woodruff at Grets Green.
"June 26, 1840. --This morning I arose to take leave of the few saints the Lord has given me after the hard labors I have had in this region.  I left them under peculiar feel­ings at this time; Satan raging so powerful around them I and Elder Woodruff left them in the hand of God and we then pro­ceeded from thence to the Potteries to attend conference; a
37
distance of 38 miles. When we arrived at Lane End and vis­ited the saints there I was rejoiced to see Sis. Eliza Brom­ley once more; when I reflect how she fed me;- clothed me and visited me when in prison I pray God to reward her a hundred fold in the Kingdom of our Heavenly Father, and that this her kindness should be handed down to future generations as a memorial to her."
Taken from the History of the British Mission:  "Elder Wilford Woodruff and Theodore Turley traveled by omnibus from West"Broomwitch to Lane End. . .Arriving at Lane End,- the brethren called upon the Saints and thence went to Stoke. Spent the night at Alfred Cordon's."

"July 22, 1840. --Wednesday in company with Elder Field­ing visited some of the sick and administered to them then took leave of the saints in Bolton traveled to Manchester."
This is the last entry in the Journal of Theodore Turley. It is not likely that he would keep a day by day account of his mission, or his life, up to a certain time and then for apparently no reason at all terminate his writing.  Perhaps material other than this is in existence today.  If so, we should spare no effort or expense to secure It.
VI. HIS MISSION TO ENGLAND— FROM ENGLAND TO NAUVOO
On July 23 "Wilford Woodruff sealed up a package of forty-two letters and his Journal from Montrose to England, to send to his wife with Elder Turley.78
40
On August 11 Elder Theodore Turley started for Liver­pool to prepare a ship for about eighty saints to emigrate." A man whom Wilford Woodruff converted "gave one hundred pounds of sterling to Elder Turley to pay the deposit money and secure the passage of those who were to go through his benevolence."79
In September of 1840 "Elder's Young and Richards went from Manchester to Liverpool and in the evening organized a company of saints bound for New York, by choosing Elder Theodore Turley to preside, with six counselors."80
We learn a little more about this emigration from the History of the British Mission:  "Most of them are very poor; those who had money have given most of it to help those who have none.  If this was not sufficient, we, seeing the pov­erty and distress of some families, have made use of our own credit among the brethren to carry them along with the rest.  It was the decision of the council in July that Elder Turley should lead this company to Zion, and he goes accord­ingly. "81
It is difficult to determine the exact sailing date. Theodore Turley says:  "September 12, 1840 sailed with the first company of 209 saints for Nauvoo." Recorded in the History of the British Mission we find:  "About 9 o'clock in the morning (September 8) the ship North America sailed from Liverpool with about 200 Saints on board, bound for New York. The ship was tugged out into the open sea by a steamer.  El­ders Young and Richards accompanied them 15 or 20 miles and left them in good spirits. . .The company had a prosperous voyage to New York, where they arrived in the beginning of October, and from there they continued the Journey to Buffalo, New York.  Owing to the expensiveness of the route many of the emigrants fell short of means to complete the journey to Nau­voo; they therefore divided at Buffalo, a part going to set­tle in and around Kirtland, Ohio, while the balance, under the leadership of Theodore Turley, continued the Journey to Nauvoo, at which place Joseph, the Prophet, states that he had the pleasure of welcoming about 100 of them about the middle of October or November, 1840."82 It is probable that they arrived in New York some time in October and did not arrive in Nauvoo until some time In November.
In the Millennial Star, September, 1840, the saints in England bid Theodore Turley Godspeed in his return trip to his family.83
William Clayton was one of the Saints who emigrated at that time. When he arrived in Nauvoo he-wrote a letter back to some of his friends in England telling of the journey. The following material is taken from that letter:
"Nauvoo, November 29, 1840:  . . .I rejoice that we have arrived at our journey's end and have the privilege of resting ourselves. Traveling is laborious work and especially at this season of the year, but notwithstanding all the diffi­culties and dangers through which we have had to pass we are here and we are healthy and cheerful for which we feel very
41
thankful.  If we had left England about six weeks sooner we should have had a pleasant journey.  I suppose more so than any other part of the year; but It Is impossible to come this distance but what the weather will be either too hot or too cold and we have had both. However, the journey lies before and although it is impossible for pen to describe to you the difficulties you will have to endure you must come or suffer the vengeance of heaven and for my part I will way that if I was in England now and had experienced all the journey it would not in the least deter me from coming for I have often found that in the greatest seasons of suffering we have the greatest cause of rejoicing, and so it has been with us for when we have thought impossible even then was our happiest moments. . .Those that come to this land must set their minds firm to come through all and not flinch if death should stare them in the face. The Lord calls for valiant-hearted men who are not afraid to die. A company of saints who come to this land would greatly lessen their sufferings by taking care to be firmly united together for if once Satan can cause enmity or confusion it is with great difficulty that you can repair the breach especially when under such peculiar circumstances.
"We have been a kind of mixed company and this has in­creased our troubles; some from one part of the country and some another, some have been fed a little on strong food, others but newly baptized.  Some have been much whipped, oth­ers scarcely heard their duty and in such a company you may naturally suppose many things would occur to try all parties. I think another such a mixed company will not come together at least I hope not. We have not yet suffered sufficient to make us all of one mind and wherever you go you may expect fine men as men and not as angels, and man is naturally prone to evil as the sparks fly upwards. . .
"In my last letter which I hope you have received I gave you a general outline of those things which passed to the time we landed at New York; in this, I will give you a history of events since that time to the present. We tar­ried in New York until Wednesday the 14th of October, during this time we moved our luggage from the ship to the steam boat Congress for West Troy about 6 miles beyond Albany. . .Pre­vious to our leaving the ship the custom house officers came to examine our boxes which was soon done for they only looked at the top of the goods without examining to the bot­tom of our boxes. The Captain of the ship North America, told Elder Turley that he should be very glad to bring another company of the saints over.  He inquired into our principles and if we had a church in New York.  Elder Turley introduced him to President Foster, who told him where they held their meetings, etc. . .
."Provisions at New York were cheap. We could have a good supper for about 6 pence or 9 pence, English money. Honey, 5 pence per pound, fruit very cheap. We left New York about 5 o'clock on the Wednesday afternoon and a de­lightful sight we had at this time.  Seven steamboats all left the harbor at once which was a noble site. Three or four of our company tarried at New York.  One family from
42
Manchester, named Maps. The brethren here were much Inter­ested in our welfare and showed great kindness towards us. We slept on board the ship until the Tuesday and this night we slept on the steamer. . .We arrived at Albany about half past five and at West Troy at nine on Thursday evening. At this place we tarried all night and on Friday our Company divided and went on three canal boats. Two not being suffi­cient to carry us. We left West Troy about four o'clock, myself and Elder Turley taking the last boat. . .
"Meat is cheap along this road. At one place Mr. Turley bought a sheep ready dressed for 6 shillings. We could get no very good butter and but little milk as people will not take pains to churn the mild and in many instances will not milk the cows only as they need milk.  There are a great many pigs kept all along which seem to run at large.
"We passed the town of Syracuse on the 21st. . .On Thurs­day the 22nd, Mr. Turley and myself left the boat which our folks were in and took the packet boat In order to over take the other two which was a long way before us on account of our boat not sailing on the Sunday, because the owner was religious,
"We came in sight of the Erie River about three in the afternoon Friday. . .We had a strong wind to encounter and in one place our boat was driven on shore and some of the passengers thrown down by the shock. We arrived at Buffalo about six o'clock in the evening. We passed one boat near to Buffalo. The other had arrived In the morning. We had purposed to go to the Niagara Falls as we was then only about six miles distant, but these boats being come in we could not have the privileges.
"On the morrow we went to engage a steamboat for Chicago, but quickly found that there was only one boat intending to go there at that time.  This being the case we had no priv­ilege of going for any less than the ordinary fare, which was something more than $2.00 besides luggage. At this we felt troubled because it was double the price we expected to go for. The other boat did not arrive until Sunday noon. The weather at this time began to blow very cold and we had considerable fall of snow.  Some of the company went di­rectly on board the steamboat and lodged there for a few nights, The others went into a warehouse to lodge. On the Saturday, Elder Turley made some more inquiry concerning the fare, but found it impossible to get to Chicago for less than $2.00 each person and half price for children. This was an impor­tant crisis. Many of the company was almost destitute of money and some destitute of both meat and money and could get no farther.  There was not sufficient means to be had in the Company to take the whole and consequently some must remain at Buffalo. This was truly an affecting scene, but could not be avoided. At this time Elder Turley was almost heartbroken on account of having to leave some of the Com­pany and as It was in former times, when he could see no way open the Lord made His kindness manifest and sent deliver­ance, whilst he was enunciating upon our situation, Brother Kellogg immediately offered to take either the whole or part of the Company to Kirtland, which is not very far from Buf­falo. Here was our deliverance.  The company began to rejoice

and all went off well. A privilege was then given to all who chose to go to Kirtland and those who could go through to Commerce.
"Amongst those who went to Kirtland was George Slater and family from Penwortham. Many are those who went to Manchester, The Greenhaugh's concluded to remain in Buffalo a little season until they can get means to move themselves. They had money offered them to go on, but they preferred working themselves through. We felt considerable at parting with this part of our company yet we knew that all was well. We have since seen that it was right, they went to Kirtland. We went on board the steamboat, Illinois, but could not leave Buffalo at that time on account of the rough weather.  It was very wet and cold and we had considerable snow storms. About seven o'clock on Thursday morning, October 29th, we left Buffalo and notwithstanding the bad weather we proceed­ed rapidly on Lake Erie. We called at Fairport partly on account of the storm and partly to take in wood for fire. (There are scarcely any coals burned here.) We were then only about eleven miles from Kirtland.  I had a great desire to go and see the house of the Lord, but could not.  In a few hours we started again. We had some pleasant sailing up the Lakes after the wind abated. We saw many hundreds of wild ducks, especially upon the Lake Saint Clare. We arrived at Chicago about half past one a.m., Wednesday, Nov­ember 4th. At this place same day we engaged wagons to Dixon Ville about 110 miles from Chicago.  I might have said that on the steamboat we had to sleep near the engine where passengers was continually passing night and day almost. We laid our bed on boxes, but had so little room that often our feet was intruding beyond the bed and lay bare.  It was not pleasant, but we could not help it.  Sometimes we were al­most suffocated with heat and at other times almost starved with cold.  The vessel was crowded with passengers and some of them of a coarse kind. We left Chicago same day about three o'clock p.m. . .First day we traveled about 12 miles across a dreadful prairie. We were delighted with its ap­pearance. We called an Inn or Tavern. Here we had to make a fire in the woods and cook and eat out-of-doors. We had the privilege of sleeping in the tavern upon the floor, but as we had expected our beds at Chicago to lighten the wagons we found the soft side of the boards very hard for the first time. However we slept pretty well for we had been much fatigued during the day. We arose in the morning before daylight, made our fire out-of-doors and got a comfortable breakfast. The oatmeal we brought from England came in well. We arrived at Dixon Ville about three o'clock on Saturday afternoon, some of the Company did not arrive until Sunday. During this Journey we cooked our victuals out-of-doors. At noon we had only one hour allowed us to cook and eat dinner; but this time we made a fire, washed up pots, peeled potatoes and boiled them and fried our beef and ate our dinner ready for starting at the hour's end. . .Although we were thus situated I assure you we were happy and cheerful. At Dixon we engaged an empty house to sleep in.  There was no fire-
44
place In the house, consequently we had to cook out-of-doors. The weather was cold, but In other respects favorable. About ten besides children slept in the same house. . .Here we purchased a bolt bottom and In a few days had It ready for sailing. During the time we remained at Dixon we had to sleep on our boxes and often the sides of the box made our bones ache, but the more we suffered the more cheerful we appeared.  On Friday the 15th, we went on board our boat and loaded our boxes. On the morrow we sailed down Rock River for Commerce. On the 20th, we passed the rapids. Here many of us got out to walk in order to lighten the boat. . -the journey has done the old folks no harm.  Same day we entered the Mississippi River. On Saturday the 21st we had to camp in the woods there being no houses near. We had fixed our tent over a few boxes and 14 of us slept several nights in a place about 2 1/2 yards long and about 45 feet broad. We had not room to lay down and scarce room to sit. We could not stretch out our legs which caused them to ache soon. This seemed a hard fare and it was about the worst of all our journey. One night it rained exceeding heavy and the rain ran through the tent and wet us through. We could not take off our wet clothes, but let them dry on our backs. . .Some of the time the frost was so severe that our tent was quite stiff and we could scarce cook our victuals at all.  On this night (the 21st) Elder Turley addressed the saints while camped in the woods and it was a time long to be remembered. Some spoke in tongues and William Poole Interpreted. On Sun­day night we called at a tavern and as we expected landing we washed and cleaned ourselves and changed our clothes. We got stuck fast on a tree on Monday which hindered us some and we did not arrive that night but stopped about 9 or 10 miles from home.
". . .The boat arrived (in’ Commerce) about 2 o'clock. We had not sailed in the night on account of the islands and trees which lay in the river and made It dangerous to navi­gate. We were near 11 days on this boat during which time I never had my clothes off, neither had William Poole and he and myself was laid down only a few nights during this time and then our bed was not feathers, but hay. Our families slept on boards having the empty beds under them. The weath­er was exceeding cold, but preserved us and we arrived in Commerce well and joyful.
"A committee had been formed to provide accommodations for us when we arrived. . .We were 11 weeks and about 11 hours between starting from Liverpool and landing at this place. . ."84
VII. BACK IN NAUVOO
Theodore Turley's mission to England was probably one of the spiritual highlights of his life. We, as his descendants, can point with both pride and humility at his en­viable record.  But Theodore's attitude was not one of boasting, or pride, as can be illustrated by the number of times the words, "Thank God I" appear in his Journal. His return home must have been a joyous occasion for his family
45
as well as himself. To be back in Zion, among the Saints of God, undoubtedly was a source of much happiness to him. His heart no doubt swelled with pride when he observed the prog­ress made by the Saints in so short a time.
A missionary, when he returns from his field of labor, must
orient himself back into his society. One of the first things
we find Theodore doing upon his return home is preaching in
Iowa. Elder John Smith, Ambrosia, Lee County, Iowa, states:
"Brother Theodore Turley preached here last Sunday and preaches
again next Sunday. "85 Elder Turley opened up his shop and
resumed his activities as a gunsmith. Elder Amasa Lyman assis­-
ting him in this work. 86 It is interesting to note here that
one of Theodore's daughters later married Elder Lyman. Theo­-
dore evidently had other business interests, for in March
of 1843 Joseph Smith wrote:  "I told Theodore Turley that I
had no objection to his building a brewery. "87 In February
of 1841 Theodore and some of the other brethren organized
themselves into the Nauvoo Agricultural and Manufacturing
Association an organization for the promotion of agricul-­
ture, etc. He was made Weighter and Sealer of the city of
Nauvoo and in June became a Lieutenant-Colonel. in the Nau-­
voo Legion, 5th Regiment, 2nd" cohort. later, in June of
1844, Joseph Smith appointed him Armourer-General of the Legion.
 Hosea Stout was the Colonel , and seems to have de-
pended a great deal upon Theodore Turley. 88 During the years
1841 and June of 1844 Joseph Smith was called to appear in
court frequently.  Often Theodore Turley was among the breth-­
ren who accompanied him to his trial and testified in his be­
half. The prophet Joseph seems_to have visited with Elder Elder Turley many times during these trying times.  For a few ex-
amples we find: January 1843 , Case in court adjourned and
Joseph Smith spent some time after dinner in conversation
with Hyrum and Theodore Turley. December 5, 1843, Joseph
Smith met the Twelve, also Wm. W. Phelps, Wm. Clayton, and
Theodore Turley in council, on important business. December
16, 1843: After Council, Joseph Smith conversed with some
of the Twelve, Brother Turley, and others, until 8 p.m. We also find Joseph Smith settled with Theodore Turley, and
gave him the deed of a lot.”
On January 11, 1843, Joseph Smith sent invitations to many of the Saints to a dinner party to be held at his home the following Wednesday, the occasion being the fifteenth wedding anniversary of Joseph and Emma. Theodore and his wife apparently accepted their invitation and attended the affair.  It was no ordinary dinner party. The guests arrived between the hours of ten and twelve a.m.  They sang songs, discussed topics of the day, and related anecdotes until 2 o'clock p.m. when four different tables were served by Joseph and Emma. At six o'clock p.m. they dispersed with many thanks and expressions of gratitude. "89
Although the Saints had been willing to forget the cru­elties they had suffered in the State of Missouri, they found it an impossible task. The Missourians had not forgotten that they had vowed to kill the Mormon Prophet. They followed the Saints to Illinois and their persecutions built up until
46
, when a climax was reached.  Perhaps even more dangerous to the Prophet were the actions of some of the_apostates__from the Church, including John C. Bennett, William and Wilson Law. Among other things the apostates purchased a printing press and published a paper called the Nauvoo Expositor. This paper was of such a libelous and slanderous nature that the City Council of Nauvoo declared it a public nuisance and or­dered the City Marshal to destroy the type.  The apostates jumped at the chance to make it look bad for the Mormons. They set fire to their own establishment and spread word throughout the country that the Mormons were responsible for this destruction.  It is probable that this affair more than any other single incident, was responsible for the martyr­dom of the Prophet Joseph.
On June 10, 1844, "Theodore Turley, a mechanic, being sworn, said that the Laws (William and Wilson) had brought bogus dies to him to fix."90
Under date of June 20. 1844, Joseph Smith says:  "I gave directions to Theodore Turley to commence the manufac­ture of artillery.  He asked me if he should not rent a building, and set some men to repairing the small arms which were out of order.  I told him in confidence that there would not be a gun fired on our part during this fuss."91 Also, on the 20th Joseph wrote to the members of the Quorum of the Twelve who were absent on missions and told them to come home immediately.
The Prophet finally came to the conclusion that the mob were only interested in him and Hyrum. They decided to cross the river and go west, understanding that if they ever again fell into the hands of the mob their lives would be worth nothing.  A posse arrived in Nauvoo on the 23rd of June to arrest Joseph.  They declared that’ they would guard the city until they found the Prophet, if it took three years. At this some of Joseph's friends sent messages to him requesting him to come back and give himself up.  His attitude was, "If my life is of no value to my friends, it is of none to myself."
When Joseph Smith found that he was going to Carthage to give himself up he wrote a letter to Governor Ford requesting that a posse come and escort him to Carthage--that he was willing to come and be tried.
"Colonel Theodore Turley and Elder Jedediah M. Grant were dispatched as messengers with Joseph and Hyrum's letter to the governor in Carthage. When the governor had read the letter he agreed to send a posse to escort Joseph in safety to Carthage.  But immediately afterwards a lawyer by the name of Skinner came in and made a very bitter speech to the gov­ernor about Joseph; he was joined by Wilson Law, the apostate, and Joseph H. Jackson, a man who has been quilty for almost every crime.  They told him naught but lies. The poor, piti­ful creature of a governor was so easily influenced by what these enemies said to him, that he treated the brethren coldly and took back the promise he had made about sending an escort to accompany Joseph.  It was an honor, he said, not
47
given to any other citizen.  Neither would he suffer the brethren to stay in Carthage through the night; but ordered them to start for Nauvoo at 10 o'clock and carry orders to Joseph to be at Carthage by 10 o'clock the next morning without escort.  He threatened that if Joseph did not give himself up at that time, Nauvoo would be destroyed, and all the men, women and children that were in it.
"Brothers Turley and Grant immediately started on their return trip, but did not arrive at Nauvoo until 4 o'clock the next morning, the horses wearied in consequence of the long ride. They reported to Joseph the excitement which prevailed in Carthage, but as he had promised to go there and give himself up to the authorities, nothing could now shake him in his resolution."92
We all know of the events which transpired during the next few days, which culminated in the martyrdom of the Prophet Joseph and Hyrum Smith. We can only wish that we had a more complete account of the actions of Theodore Tur­ley during these days. We can be very thankful that Theo­dore was among the members of the Church who recognized Brigham Young as the chosen Prophet of the Lord to succeed Joseph Smith.
Persecution continued in Nauvoo.  Sometime before October 16, 1844, Theodore Turley made a trip to New Or­leans to purchase 100 muskets for the Nauvoo Legion.  They were inspected by Hosea Stout at the request of General Rich.93 In 1845, on February 13, "Brother John Kay came after no (Hosea Stout) to go to Brother Turley's and consult on the safety of some of the Twelve whose lives were sought."94 Also, in February of 1845, a rumor was circulated that two suspicious persons had been at Brother Theodore Turley's inquiring for President Young and Elder Kimball.  They were supposed by Brother Turley to be plotting to waylay some of the leading brethren of the Church.95 On March 7, 1845, Hosea Stout went to Brother Turley's to get a pistol repaired. Thus we see that Theodore was still a gunsmith.
Sometime in March of 1845 a committee was appointed to write the history of the Nauvoo Legion for Elder Willard Richards who was writing church history.  The committee was composed of Charles C. Rich, A. p. Rockwood, Theodore Turley, and Hosea Stout.  They met and proceeded to business until about 8 o'clock, and then sent the report by way of Theodore Turley to see if Elder Richards approved of it. April 16, 1845 part of the city of Nauvoo was incorporated. Theodore was appointed one of the trustees.96
As conditions became worse, the Nauvoo Legion became more active.  Hosea Stout records, Sept. 11, 1845, "Went to see Col. Turley and while there received orders form General Rich in person to have the 2nd Cohort put in readiness to repel an attack in the minutes notice.  Col. Turley and I went to put the orders into execution and came to my house and took dinner and went down in the flat for some business."'' This is only one of the many activities of the Legion during
48
this period. On September 15, 1845, Theodore Turley acted as Colonel over the 5th Regiment.  Also, on September 15 a meeting was held in the Masonic Hall to hold council against the mob. They decided to put the Legion into imme­diate readiness for defense.
The Nauvoo Charter was repealed, thus leaving the City of Nauvoo without any civil authority. Mob action form this point continued to grow worse. On the 21st of Sep­tember, 1845 Cyrus Daniels was shot through his right arm, which shot completely shattered it.  The ball had hit just above the elbow, both bones were broken, and his arm was in a desperate condition. He went to Colonel Turley's for assis­tance.  Theodore in order to get Bro Daniels' coat off had to tear it in pieces.  He then set the broken arm as best he could, and they sent for a doctor.98 Many times during his life Theodore was called upon to render such assistance. Years later, in Utah, (Oct. 23, 1866) a John P. Lee and his family were attacked by the Indians.  During the skirmish a Brother Lillywhite was shot in the breast. The wounded man was placed under the care of Theodore Turley in Beaver, Utah. Another incident: which occurred in Beaver also illus­trates this point. One time his daughter-in-law, Clara Ann Tolton Turley, was burned severely.  She bore testimony that she would never had lived if Theodore had not been a good "doctor".99
It appears that Theodore and his family did not live right in the City of Nauvoo, for on September 24, 1845, a committee selected by a council to move families, goods, etc., into Nauvoo, requested that Theodore move his family to that city.
On the 16th of November it was learned in Nauvoo that Theodore Turley had been arrested at Alton on a charge of bogus making. The charge of course was brought by those antagonistic to the Church, and was not founded on fact.  On the 24th of November the council "wrote Theodore Turley, who was in jail, awaiting his examination." On the 30th, at a meeting in the attic of the Temple, Joseph Young prayed for Theodore Turley.  Judge Pope was moved to say that he was convinced Elder Turley was imprisoned through persecution, said he would discharge him when he arrived in Springfield.
Many articles were published against the Saints during these years, saying everything they could to make it look bad for the Mormons.  The following is one of several articles involving Theodore Turley:  "The younger brother of Holy Joe, the late Mormon leader, is fulminating his decrees and proph­ecies and proclamations for Cincinnati.  He cuts off the un­holy Twelve because they have been indicted for counterfeiting U.S. coin, and a Brother Turley, an elder of the Church, also catches it because he has been confined in the Atlas Peniten­tiary."101
VIII. HIS JOURNEY WEST
It soon became apparent that the Saints would not be able to remain in their beautiful city.  As persecution and
49
mob action increased, the leaders of the Church cautioned the members not to strike back, as they were going West in the Spring, and did not want to do anything that would bring more opposition. On September 22, 1845, the citizens of Quincy held a mass meeting and passed a resolution demanding that the Saints begin removing at once.  During the Winter of 1845-46 preparation for removal went forward, and in February of 1846 we find Theodore Turley on his way to Win­ter Quarters, or the present Florence, Nebraska.
In the evening of February 22, 1846, Theodore Turley visited Hosea Stout in order to ascertain the number of wagon makers and blacksmiths there were in camp, so that they could be set to work.  On March 10, 1846, at a camp at Richardson's Point, it is recorded:  "Two four-horse teams which were sent back to Farmington or Lick Creek on Sunday returned with the families of John Gheen and Theodore Turley.102 March 19, 1846, we find:  "Today the camp moved again. Amasa Lyman and Theodore Turley stayed, not being ready for want of teams.
Sometime before November 28, 1846, Theodore Turley ar­rived at Winter Quarters, for at that time he was voted a member of the High Council there. Winter Quarters, when the Saints arrived, was a wilderness. Miraculously, a city ap­peared.  There was much sickness and many deaths in camp, due, as Col. Kane suggested, "to the low state to which their systems had been brought by long continued endurance of want and hardship." Theodore Turley buried six members of his family at this place including his beloved wife, Francis Amelia.  Those who died at Winter Quarters were as truly martyrs as those who were killed outright or who perished in the hardships of the flight from Missouri."103
Let us at this point become a little better acquainted with Francis.  Elder Amasa Lyrnan paid her a tribute when in 1839 he said, "I boarded with Brother Theodore Turley's fam­ily.  Sister Turley was most kind and unremitting in her attention to my comfort.  Under her treatment I regained my health and remained until March, 1839 when I went to Quin­cy, Illinois."104 We can only imagine the activities of Fran­cis while her husband was on his mission to England. We have already mentioned that Francis was a very brave woman. Once when the mob were stealing stock in Far West, Francis told her father to give her Old John, and she climbed on him with a loaded black whip (handle loaded with buckshot).  She rode into the herd and got the stock and hit one of the mobbers with the black whip.  She brought back the cows and the bull. Another time Francis took her father and his friends to a meeting in Nauvoo in a sleigh and on her return the buffalo robe blew up in front of the horse, causing him to run away. She jumped on the horse and brought it to a stop. A man that watched the procedure joked with Theodore and offered him a thousand dollars for Francis.  At this it is said that Theodore acted very indignant.105 Be it said to her ever­lasting honor that she accepted the doctrines of the Church, and was faithful and true to her husband to the end.
On January 20, 1848, in the Pottawattamies lands in Iowa, Theodore Turley signed a petition for a Post Office.  On the
50
27th of March 1848. at Miller's Hollow (Kanesville) Theodore Turley was present at a political_meeting by invitation.__
It is supposed that Theodore crossed the plains in 1849 in Silar Richards' Company. At that time he possessed 3 wag­ons, 12 oxen, 1 cow, 4 loose cattle, 1 dog, and 3 guns. Also {listed are 7 members of his family.  (We do not have conclusive proof that he came in this company.  It still has to be Verified.)
Sometime during the year 1850" Theodore and his family were in Utah County, for their names appear on the Census 1 record.  It is believed that Brother Turley later went to Salt Lake and started a grist mill. On August 8 we have Samuel Richards paying Theodore $1.00 for cleaning his gun.  Samuel Richards lived in Salt Lake at that time.  We may here include an interesting incident. Theodore Turley invented   an octagon barrelled gun.  On one trip he and his companions saw a herd of antelope.  He said, "Watch me get the head   antelope." One woman said, "You might as well point your gun   in another direction, because you'll never get it." He did  get it--at 1000 yards with one shot.  The gun was stolen down In Old Mexico by an Austrian painter.106
IX. HIS MISSION TO SAN BERNARDINO
Sometime between August, 1850 and the Spring of 1851
Theodore Turley and part of his family, along with about 500
other Saints, went to settle the San Bernardino, California
area.  Elders Charles C. Rich and Amasa Lyman were appointed
by Brigham Young to preside over the mission.  They purchased
a huge tract of land, the San Bernardino Rancho, and built
the "Old Fort" for protection against the Indians.  The Saints
were prosperous_and__happy and the mission had promise of great
success.

July 5 and 6, 1851 the first conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in California was held in the mouth of the canyon known as Sycamore Grove. Theodore Turley was nominated a member of the High Council.  His activities in the San Bernardino Mission, as usual, were many and varied.  "Immediately after conference we organized a daily school under the superintendency of Hosea Stout, assisted by Brother R. Clift . The school numbers some_125_and__a Sunday school under the supervision of Brother Turley, which numbers about the same, assisted by Brothers Hosea Stout and Clift."107 Among his other activities he was one of the Di­rectors of their Library Association and Treasurer of San Bernardino.  On march 15,  1856 he was sustained as the President of the high council,  and at a special conference on March 16, he was appointed to the Southern California Mission.  He was called upon many times to offer prayer in their meetings.  He seems to have been one of the favorite speakers, for there are about eighteen recorded instances of his preach­ing to the Saints.  A fuller account of some of these activ­ities follows:
April 6, 1852. --Elder Theodore Turley addressed the
51
congregation at some length contrasting the arrival of the saints in California with their happy situation and the beneficia1 results that flows from obedience to council.
September 30, 1854. --Theodore Turley addressed the con­ference upon the perfect organization of the Church, the spread of the gospel, and the evils existing among the Saints, and the necessity of reformation.  President Rich followed and said, "As regards the remarks of Brother Turley, he is right; the organization of this Kingdom is complete or it would not be the Kingdom of God."
October 21, 1854. --A special meeting was held in the evening at which the brethren agreed to send a party to the gold diggings with a view to raise means to lift the indebtedness of the ranch, the party to be under the super­vision of Brothers Theodore Turley and David Seely.
September 26, 1855. --Elder Theodore Turley arrived from the upper country and reported that a company of Australian saints had arrived at San Pedro and were now waiting convey­ance to San Bernardino.       ,
January 1, 1856. --Elder Theodore Turley reported at .San Bernardino that they had found a quicksilver mine.
March 24, 1856. --Elder Theodore Turley in San Bernardino addressed the congregation upon the principles in relation to the Children of Israel.
April 6, 1856. --Elder Theodore Turley addressed the congregation upon the subject of faith.

May 5, 1857. --Theodore Turley and party returned from an exploring trip, on which they had discovered a rich vein of silver near Mt. San Bernardino.108
During the latter part of the year of 1857 the peace of the saints was again threatened severely.  The leaders of the Church learned that an Army from the eastern states was on its way to invade Utah territory.  They immediately gave direction to those Saints in the outlying territories to come home to Utah.  The Saints from San Bernardino returned to Utah in several companies in the closing months of 1857, and in the early months of 1858.  Many of them made their homes in the southern settlements of the territory.  They brought large stores of arms and ammunition.  "Within six weeks a thousand persons will have forsaken their homes in that valley in obedience to the commands of their chief.  Men, women and children go off without a murmur and with countenances light­ed with stern joy, at the assurance. . .that they are about to fight and destroy their enemies.  There is not one line in the face of a Mormon that does not defiantly say, "We will die before we submit.'"109
X. BACK IN UTAH
The reports on the life of Theodore Turley from this point
52
on are very fragmentary.  However, we do have enough to know that he was still active in the Church, and took a part in community affairs.
On February 22, 1858, he attended and addressed a mass meeting held at Cedar City, Utah.  He was a member of a committee to draft a preamble and resolutions relative to the course of Brigham Young, and he signed that memorial.
Especially interesting to us is the report of conference held October 7, 1859.  Theodore Turley bore testimony to the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ; referred to the words of Daniel relative to the stone being cut out' of the mountain without hands and spoke of the influences by which he had been surrounded; told of his experiences in California, while preaching the gospel there.  President Heber C. Kimball spoke in high commendation of Brother Turley.  Said he, "I have been much gratified to hear the re­marks of Brother Turley. And I was exceedingly pleased to see him this morning.  I naturally love him, for he is a true man.  He is as true as gold that has a little dross in it, there is a good deal of the true metal in him. We all more or less partake of the world and the flesh, and the devil, and that is the dross which is in us. "11O
On December 18, 1859, Theodore Turley was a resident of
Washington, Utah, and addressed a conference in Cedar City.
On January 19, 1862 he spoke in the Tabernacle in Salt Lake
City.  In August of 1864 an important convention met at Salt
Lake City.  Theodore Turley was a delegate at the convention
from Beaver County. 111
We have no account of Theodore's activities between the years of 1866 and 1871, when he passed away.  We do know that he died after suffering untold pain from the dread affliction, cancer of the mouth.  That condition may account for a few years' silence.  In a sense men like Theodore never die — they just pass from one sphere of activity to another.  He spent his life serving his fellow men.  He spent his life serving his fellow men.  He started a great work, and we must carry it on. Are__we going forward in a way that would-be pleasing to him? That is our challenge.

MARY ANN TURLEY was born in Toronto, Ontario on July 13, 1827 to Theodore and Francis Amelia Turley. She mar­ried JOHN J. COOK September 8, 1851.
MARY ANN's parents emigrated to Canada in 1825 with two children.They settled near Lake Ontario, having been given a plot of land and a blooded herd of cattle by the King of England for services rendered him.  He continued preaching Methodism.  In 1837 her father and mother were baptized and joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, sold their farm and moved to Far West, Missouri, arriving in July, 1838.  They later moved to Nauvoo, Illinois in 1839 and in 1846 traveled by ox team to Winter Quarters, Nebraska where they stayed until 1849.  During that time six members of the family died, including her mother.  In 1849 they traveled by ox team to Salt Lake City, Utah and in 1850 went with about five hundred others to build a settlement in San Bernardino County, California, where a large tract of land was purchased. It was here that MARY ANN met and married JOHN JAMES COOK.
The following is taken from History of Ventura County California, Volume 2.  Chicago:  S.J. Clarke Publishing Co., 1926.
"Among the early settlers of Ventura County was the John J. Cook family.  Their identification with this county dates back to 1869, which dates back ninety-nine years ago, which period practically embraces its development from a stretch of wild plain and barren wilderness to its present prosperous condition, and during these years the members of this family bore their full part in the upbuilding of the community.
John J. Cook, who was orphaned early in life, was of German descent, born in Mohawk County, New York, May 22, 1827, while Mary Ann (Turley) Cook was of English antecedents, her father coming to this country and serving in the Civil War with the rank of Captain. Mary Ann was born in Toronto, Canada, July 13, 1827 and died December 24, 1904, at the age of seventy-seven years.
59
In 1869 the family left San Bernardino County, locating near what is now Bardsdale, Ventura County, but which then was in Santa Barbara County.  In 1872 the family moved to Santa Barbara and in 1873 to Ukiah, Mendocino County, where they lived until the spring of 1875, when they returned to Ventura County, for permanent resi­dence, Santa Paula, California."
The following article was taken from the Santa Paula Daily Chronicle dated 12/26/1904, written by Etta L. Ricker upon the death of MARY ANN COOK;
On December 24, 1904, the gates of heaven rolled wide for this good woman and she passed away to eternal rest. Her passing calls for more than a casual notice.  Mrs. Cook was one of the pioneers of this state, born in Toron­to, Canada, July 13, 1827, she journeyed from there with her parents to California, making the entire trip across the continent with ox teams.  Arriving in California in 1851 she soon after married John Cook, an honored pioneer of this state.  It can never be said of Mrs, Cook that she lived in vain.  In those early days of California her whole life was given to help those in need of help.  She was mother, sister, doctor and nurse to all.  None were too poor, too dirty, or too wicked to be comforted, nursed and cared for by her.  Many a sad heart was comforted by her loving care, and she would share all she had with those in need, trusting with the faith that never faltered for her own poor needs.
In the early days of San Bernardino as well as of Ven­tura County she came at last to be a veritable Peter among the poor and needy.  "If only her shadow might fall on them they felt comforted."
. . .Mrs. Cook has left a more beautiful monument than any chiseled from marble.  It is her good works for others, her kindness to the poor and needy, and the help she gave to those that needed help. . .
JOHN JAMES COOK, while traveling by train through Arizona, was mur­dered and no one seems to know where he was bur­ied or any more of the details.

Priscilla Rebecca Turley Lyman
PRISCILLA REBECCA TURLEY was born June 1, 1829 in Toronto, Canada.  She was the fourth child of Theodore Turley and Frances Amelia Kimberly Turley. She married AMASA MASON LYMAN on January 17, 1846 in Nauvoo. He was born March 30, 1813 in Lyman, New Hampshire, son of Roswell Lyman and Martha Ma­son Lyman.  PRISCILLA died September 20 or 21, 1904 and AMASA died February 4, 1877.
The following is a Life Sketch of Priscilla Turley Lyman by Priscilla Lyman Rice, a granddaughter:
Priscilla Rebecca Turley Lyman
The lives of the pioneers should be written in Poetry and on golden plates for their children and children to read.  This has not yet been done, but it was written in the lives of oth­ers, in toil-worn hands, in dimmed eyes that just had to make another quilt, another knitted rug, or help another baby into the world, or care for someone in need of a light to lead the way.
So I shall tell you about the grandmother for whom I was named.  She had beautiful gray eyes, a kind smile, a heart full of love, and still wanted to dance when past seventy years of age.  She saw me as a baby, but, as I was only six weeks old, I do not remember her. My father and mother have told me many little stories about her so that I feel that I almost know her.
PRISCILLA TURLEY was born June 1, 1829 to Theodore and Frances Kimberley Turley, in Toronto, Canada, just across the

St. Lawrence River from the United States.  They crossed this river one night when she was less than ten years old. Her brothers and sisters were as follows:  MARY ANN TURLEY
COOK, ISAAC, CHARLOTTE TURLEY BUSHMAN, SARAH TURLEY and FREDRIC TURLEY.  After moving here and there for a short while this family of eight Turleys came to Missouri.  They lived on a farm in the summer and in town in the winter in order to enable the children to attend school.  About this time the Saints came to Missouri and the Turleys heard the Gospel, and were all converted and later persecuted along with the other saints.
As mentioned in the history of Amasa Lyman, PRISCILLA hid him from the mob, thus probably saving his life.
Sometime after this, the mob was after the Prophet Jo­seph Smith and he was in hiding.  Different families took turns carrying his dinner to him so one day her mother sent PRISCILLA to Whatmers with a basket of food.  As she walked along the path a man stopped her and said, "Little girl, your folks know where Joseph Smith is.  Now, you tell me."
She looked at him and said, "If they did know, they wouldn't tell a little girl like me."
The man stepped aside and let her pass.  Thus again she helped save a man's life by telling a lie and both times she was praised for it.  She often said she had been praised more for prevarication than for telling the truth.
During the time polygamy was being practiced, Amasa Lyman's friend Theodore Turley asked him to take one of his daughters, suggesting one of the older girls, but Amasa told him if he took any it would be PRISCILLA as he wished to protect her always.  She became Amasa Lyman ' s seventh wife, January 16, 1846, at the age of 16.  PRISCILLA con­tinued to live with her parents for a long time  She went to school, worked for others, etc.  She came to Utah with the pioneers in Brigham Young's Company in 1848.
PRISCILLA went with her husband across the desert to San Bernardino in 1851. While waiting for the ranch to be pur­chased they were encamped near a fine vineyard.  One day they were wishing for some of the grapes and with the help of their interpreter secured some from the bearded Spaniard who was in the vineyard.  The man took hold of Grandmother's arm and made it known he wished her to come with him further into the vineyard. At first she was reluctant to go, but the interpreter assured her that it was quite safe.  The man then took her to a certain vine and showed her the largest bunch of grapes she had ever seen.  They were ripe so the man picked them and gave them to her.  She said the stem was as large as her thumb and the bunch as long as her arm.  (This incident took place the day they arrived.)
While living in San Bernardino her two oldest children were born.  Their names were THEODORE and IRA.  About this time Cornelia Lyman (another wife of Amasa Lyman) became ill, leaving her two boys, Lorenzo and Henry to be cared for, so
75
grandmother cared for them along with her own children.  She was set apart as a midwife to care for mothers and babies and so helped more than a hundred lives into this world, although she never advertised nor sought after this work.  Grandmother was best known as "Aunt Persillie."
In 1858 most of the San Bernardino colonists were called back to Utah because of the coming of Johnston's Army.  Grand­mother went back to Fillmore where she lived for some time. Four more children were born there two dying in their early years.
After her two oldest sons were married the family went to Idaho and thus Lyman Town came into existence.  To them it was only a ranch between the forks of the Snake River--the best place in the world in the summer but a bad place in the winter.  They were often "snowed in" and in the spring the ice broke up and the river went wild on both sides of them.
Her oldest son's wife died and left three boys about two, four, and six years of age—Frank, Elmer and Guy.  These she cared for until the oldest married.  Her only daughter married young and lived near them in Idaho.  Later(1886)  they all went again over the "Old Spanish Trail" to California and lived near San Bernardino.  Her daughter died and left three little girls Edna, Florence, and Maude Barry.  Her son Theodore told her that she was not to raise them as she had done her share of such work.  However, she helped a lot and my own parents went to help them for a while.
In addition to all the work of caring for these many children, she pieced many quilts and knitted many beautiful rugs.  She especially wanted each of her children to have one.
Grandmother spent many months of her life traveling from place to place in a covered wagon.  A true and courageous pioneer, we can never honor her and her kind enough.
;  While living at San Luis Rey, California, grandmother's hip was injured by a severe fall at her son-in-law's house while dancing one of the square dances.  The party was in honor of the new school teacher.  Grandmother had done extra work that day but still enjoyed dancing.  She was nearly seventy years old at this time and so was forced to spend her last few years on crutches.  She did her work neatly with the help of her son and three grandsons.
Another story about PRISCILLA TURLEY LYMAN is told:
This story is related by an old lady in Utah who says that she was alone in her home in Far West when a man with his arm and wrist terribly swollen rushed up to the door and asked her to hide him quickly from the mob who were on his track in a fury and about to overtake him.  When she told him she was alone and could not take an utter stranger into the house, he begged her the more to hide him or he would be killed by the men soon to come in sight.
76
Being assured by something in his face that he was not to be feared, this girl in her teens ran and brought a ladder which she fixed to a covered opening in the ceiling, and told him to climb up there and hide between the ceiling and the roof.  When he had placed the cover over the hole and she had little more than returned from taking the ladder back to its place, the mob appeared and demanded to know where that man, Lyman, had gone, swearing that if he had not been "caught away by the Holy Ghost", they would make an end of him.
When she told them she knew no man named Lyman, they be­gan hunting inside the house and out.  Finding the ladder, one of them declared it had but recently been moved but an­other was sure it had not been disturbed for a long time, and without looking above the ceiling, they gave up the search and went on.
When Theodore Turley and his wife returned home, their daughter, PRISCILLA told them a man was hiding overhead, and they helped "him "down,  We have no way of knowing Amasa's first impression of these Turleys, but considering the part
was to take in his life, he should have felt towards them some what as he had felt towards the Tanners and the Partridges. There is no reason, however, to think that in his tribulation of that time, he envisioned PRISCILLA going with him and seven other women across deserts and mountains to the western sea.
All he says about it is that while he was helping the Saints convey their property to their enemies, and keeping out of sight as best he could, "I boarded with Brother Theo­dore Turley,s family.  Sister Turley was most kind and unremitting in her attention to my comfort, and under her treatment I recovered my Health,"  (Personal writings of Amasa M. Lyman)
A part of the trip to Salt Lake City:
On the second of March Amasa Lyman and family which though not traveling together, included the two Partridge   ' women, "Aunt" PRISCILLA, "Aunt" Dionetia, and perhaps the other two wives with Their outfits of "ox teams arrived at sundown" in the next camp to the west.  (Eliza's journal.)
. . . "Aunt" PRISCILLA was traveling now in the same   wagon with Eliza, and Eliza's references to this woman, as to the other six wives, was always with the tenderest care as of one sister for another.  With these seven wives, to , be joined later by an eighth, every one of them women of  vigorous temperament and pronounced individuality, the sur­prising fact that they got along together in peace, cooperating with their husband and with each other under tremendous . difficulties, is proof that he was a master diplomat, or that he really did hold, as he declared, the power of Divine Priesthood which maintains its dominion by righteous measures.  He had been taught by the Prophet Joseph Smith, who sounded the ' note of true government when he said, in answer to the query , as to how he was able to govern the thousands of people in and around Nauvoo, "I teach them correct principles and they govern themselves."

The following is a history of ISAAC TURLEY submitted by his son, ISAAC, with the help of his daughter, Viola T.
Haws:
ISAAC TURLEY Sr., the eighth child in his parents' fam­ily of five sons and five daughters, was born on November 22, 1837 to Frances Amelia Kimberley and Theodore Turley, in Churchville, Ontario, Canada. His maternal grandparents were Sarah Kitchens and Thomas Kimberley; his pater­nal grandparents were Eliza­beth Yates and William Turley.
ISAAC was born about
eight months after his parents
joined the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-Day Saints,
and while his father was la­
boring on his mission in Can­
ada, to which he was called
the day following his bap­
tism in March 1837.  He was
named for Isaac Russell who
baptized his father.  In mid­
summer of 1838, they, with a
company of converts, moved to
Kirtland, Ohio where the main
body of the Church was loca­
ted, and it was there that
they became acquainted with
the Prophet Joseph Smith and
his family.  In the Spring of
1839, they moved to Nauvoo,
in which city his father,
Theodore Turley, built the
first home to be built by the
Saints.  It was a neat, stone
structure, located on theIsaac Turley

same block upon which Joseph Smith afterwards built the Nau-
voo Mansion. About six months later, in September 1839,
ISAAC'S father left for his mission to England.  ISAAC was
the baby of the family during those historic events.  His
youngest sister, CHARLOTTE, was born after his father left
for his mission.,  .  -   :
At a very young age, ISAAC took a great interest in helping to do chores for the Prophet Joseph Smith, such as feeding and watering his favorite riding horse, a chestnut sorrel, named "Joe Duncan".  It was a great source of pride to him to know that the Prophet trusted him to do the various chores for him.  It was through this service that he rendered, as well as the opportunity to live close to the leaders of the Church, that ISAAC developed a great love for them and for the Gospel.  He was very proud that his father had been selected by the Prophet to be one of his body guards.
Some of ISAAC'S earliest recollections were of the un­
certainty and persecutions of the converts to the Church by
the unrelenting mob.  Before Isaac’s eighth birthday, the
Prophet and his brother, Hyrum, were martyred in Carthage
Jail on June 27, 1844.  About two years later, conditions
became more traumatic for the saints:  many lost their lives,
homes were burned, and their possessions destroyed.  They
were compelled to leave the state of Illinois and go west to
the Rocky Mountains.
When the saints left for the West, Hyrum's widow and family were numbered with the same company as Theodore Turley and his family.  ISAAC, then eleven years of age, and Joseph F. Smith, Hyrum's son, ten years of age, were each given a yoke of oxen and a wagon to manage, which was quite objectionable to some of the men, but Theodore promised them that he would see to it that the boys would do alright.  Some of the men in the company objected to Sister Smith and her family going west at that time, because Joseph F. was not yet old enough to assume the necessary responsibility to help his mother on such a long journey, but Theodore told the men that she could travel in his part of the company, and he would see that she and her family would be taken care of.
_
One day, on their way along the Platte River, there were many carcuses of dead buffalo, which caused the oxen to stampede and become uncontrollable, but to ISSAC and Joseph F., that was fun.  So they lanced their oxen, making them run faster and faster until they were ready to stop and be guided back on the trail.  As they camped that night, the men were very happy to recognize the boys ability to manage the oxen. ISSAC and Joseph F. were close friends as they shared the many experiences along the arduous trek to the Rocky Mountains.
Because of tbe scarcity of food, the people had to re­sort to making soup from the hides and bones of the dead buffalo along the trail on the Platte.  As the result of eating such food, the severe weather conditions, and other hardships, many people became ill, and a great number of them

87
died.  Isaac’s mother, Frances Amelia, was one of them.  She
died on August 30, 1847 at Winter Quarters, Nebraska.  His
father's fourth wife, Sarah Ellen Clift, had died also at
Winter Quarters on May 4, 1847.c
According to the Turley Family Records, Theodore Turley and his families arrived at Winter Quarters before November 28, 1846, and went on to Utah in the year 1849, or early in 1850, for their names appear on the Census Record.  Accord­ing to the family records, Theodore lost three children in 1846, three children in 1847, one child in 1848, (one child was born in 1847, and no death date is recorded, so it is as­sumed that she died shortly after birth during the hardships at that time.)  Thus, eight of his children and two of his wives were buried along the trail west, most of them at, or near, Winter Quarters.
Those extreme hardships, and many others, tested the faith and strength of all of those brave souls who were able to endure to the end of their journey.  ISAAC was about thirteen years of age when he and his father and the remaining members of his family arrived in the Great Salt Lake Valley. ,
Late in 1850, or early in the Spring of 1851, ISAAC and his father and other members of his family, along with about 500 other saints, went to settle the San Bernardino, Calif­ornia area.  ISAAC helped his father clear the land and plant fruit trees. While there, he learned to speak Spanish fluent­ly, which was a great advantage to him the rest of his life.
In 1857 the leaders of the Church learned that Johnson's Army from the Eastern part of the United States was on its way to invade Utah territory, so President Brigham Young    .. asked that all of the saints from the outlying territories return to Utah.  Theodore and part of his family complied with his request.
ISAAC later went back to San Bernardino, and there he
married SARAH GREENWOOD on March 11, 1861.  To them were born
twelve children (eleven sons and one daughter).  Soon after
their marriage, ISAAC and SARAH moved to Minersville, Utah.
About three years later, they move on a short distance to
Beaver.  While there, ISAAC became acquainted with CLARA ANN
TOLTON and they were married and sealed in the Endowment
House in Salt Lake City on October 4, 1867.  He was sealed
to his first wife, SARAH, on the same day.  To ISAAC and
CLARA ANN were born twelve children (seven daughters and
five sons).:
During the ten years they lived in Beaver, ISAAC was in charge of the Beaver Co-op Cattle Corp. and ran a Co-op Butcher Shop.  He, being a very good blacksmith, did a great deal of that type of work as well.  While in Beaver, ISAAC'S father, Theodore Turley, passed away in that city on August 12, 1871 after suffering several years from cancer of the mouth,
In the late 60's and early 70's during the Black Hawk War, many of the white men's cattle were stolen and driven away by the various tribes of Indians, and some white men

were killed.  President Young called ISAAC to serve as the Lieutenant Officer to recruit as many men as he deemed nec­essary in striving to bring about a peaceful relationship between the white people and the Indians.  He and the men who worked with him undertook many dangerous missions as they carried out their assignments, traveling on horseback over Beaver County and around the settlements along the Sevier River,  They covered an extensive area during cold or warm weather.  ISAAC served on this assignment during the seven years of the war, furnishing his own horses and supplies, without remuneration.
On one occasion, a big buck Indian ambushed the white men.  ISAAC saw the buck, and he immediately dropped off the opposite side of his horse and cut the Indian a blow . in the chest with a rifle shot.  The Indian dropped down in the brush, and left as fast as he could possibly escape. When ISAAC arrived at the area, no one was to be found, but there were blood splashes on rocks and brush.  He had made his get-away.  ISAAC and the other men followed the Indian many miles but were unable to overtake him.  Three years later, in a store on the Sevier, ISAAC walked up to an old buck Indian and asked, "Where have I seen you?" And he replied, "Do you remember three years ago when I thought I had you for my bacon, and you slipped off and hit me before I thought you could? I crawled and hobbled for fifteen miles.  Doc Bill (an Indian doctor) pulled me through."  He opened his shirt and showed ISAAC the scars on his chest and on his shoulder blade.
In another instance, one of the men, named John Butler, who was asked to labor with ISAAC in establishing peace with the Indians, jumped out from the brush where they were hiding from the warriors.  ISAAC shouted, "Get back, or you'll be shot!"  Before Butler could move, he. was shot in the chest, and he dropped like a dead man.  ISAAC and the other men dragged him into the brush and there one man had to stand on his body while another pulled with all his might to remove the arrow from between his ribs.  They took him back to the settlement at Kanosh, Utah, to a doctor.  His life was spared and he lived for several years afterward.
On another occasion, an Indian shot an arrow through ISAAC'S ear, slitting it in two pieces.  Later, an arrow was shot through the crown of his hat, and another one pierced his vest at the side of his body, but he was never seriously injured, which verifies a promise that was given to him in a special blessing by President Brigham Young in which he told him that if he would try to do the right thing by the Indians and would not seek to draw blood, they would not take his life.
At the October Genreal Conference in 1876, ISAAC was called by President Young to take his family to Arizona and help establish settlements there, along with Daniel W. Jones and others.  ISAAC was named Wagon Master of the Company. He left Beaver"City about January 1, 1877, with SARAH and her boys, and met the rest of the company at St. George, Utah, where they started their journey together on January
91
10th, and arrived on the Salt River, Arizona Territory March 6, 1877.  ISAAC pitched his tent the first night about where the Lehi School now stands, and he and his boys helped in clearing land and digging out the ancient Indian Canal, which was to be their means of irrigation,
Due to the heat of the desert at Jonesville (Lehi) and Sarah’s health, ISAAC returned to Utah the following September and attended October Conference in Salt Lake City.  Pres­ident Young had passed away on August 29, 1877, so ISAAC explained their circumstances to President John Taylor, who released him from his Mission with the Jones Company.  He was then called to help settle the St. Joseph, Arizona area on the Little Colorado River, near Sunset and Brigham City, -where the United Order was being established.
On his way South, ISAAC went by Beaver City, where he had left CLARA ANN and her children.  He sold their homes and left Beaver with three large new wagons loaded with flour and provisions, one light spring wagon, 200 head of cattle, and a band of 100 horses and brood mares.  He put all of his earthly possessions into the United Order, except one sack of flour, which he divided between his two families and which they ate only on very special occasions.  It is not really surprising to note that those who contributed little, or nothing, to the United Order were quick with their criticism of ISAAC for withholding that one sack of flour for his fam­ilies, which only bears out the well-know adage:  "When a mule is busy pulling, he doesn't have time to kick !"
He did the blacksmithing for the camp, as well as shoeing the horses and oxen and assisting with the dairying and farm­ing .  He worked from four o'clock in the morning until sun­down and dark at night, but the day was never too long, and he was never too tired to draw his family around him after the evening meal and read from the Bible about the life of the Savior and to have family prayer.    „;„:•
The United Order in Joseph City lasted only three or four years.  ISAAC came out with only part of that which he had put in, but with that, he was able to make a new start for himself in Snowflake, 45 miles away, where he moved with his families on May 7, 1881.  There he bought three city lots: one for each family and one for a blacksmith shop.  He bought a dry farm 22 miles away in the mountains and raised good crops of corn, wheat, etc., and herded their horses at Mormon Lake.  He did blacksmithing, farming and stock raising during the five years they lived in Snowflake.  He was Deputy .Sher­iff there, and the children attended public school.  They built homes, planted gardens and orchards, and were happily situated during the time they were there.
Conditions became very difficult for the people who were living plural marriage.  Many of the men were sent to prison in the Federal Penitentiaries at Yuma, Chicago and elsewhere. They had to either put away their wives, leave the country, or go to prison.  ISAAC decided to go to Old Mexico, since the Church Leaders had suggested that area as a possible place of refuge for those who were being persecuted.
92
In the Spring of 1885. ISAAC took SARAH and most of her family, along with enough livestock and horses for their use, They were among the first settlers who went into Mexico; ISAAC was the Wagon Master of that group.  They first stopped for a short time in Corralitos, but they soon found that this was not a satisfactory area in which to establish settlements.
In February, the pioneers traveled on into the Casas Grandes Valley and settled in an area which they called Turley's Camp, which is now San Jose, across the river from Colonia Dublan,  ISAAC was called to be the Presiding Elder of Turley's Camp, comprising more than twenty-five families. They soon decided to leave that area and move on south and west, about ten miles from the Mexican town called Casas Grandes Viejo.  They established their camp near the San Diego Ranch, located on the Rio Verde.
After building an adobe house for SARAH and her family, and preparing for the planting of crops, he returned to Snow-flake to get CLARA ANN and her children, and the belongings that he had left there.  Just beyond the border, as they were going into Mexico, he felt very uneasy about SARAH, so he left CLARA ANN and her children to make the rest of the trip alone while he rushed on ahead on horse-back to see what could be wrong.  When he arrived back at the settlement, he found the people returning in their wagons from the cemetery where they had just buried SARAH.  She had passed away, after a brief illness, on January 13,1887, at the age of 43 years. JOHN, her baby, was 21 months old.
The following Spring, after the crops were planted and more homes had been built, the people received a notice from Chihuahua City, telling them that they had established residence on ground within the survey of the San Diego Ranch, and it would be necessary for them to move on up the river about three miles.  With this they complied, and they re­established themselves in the area that is known as Colonia Juarez.  ISAAC, along with other townsmen, helped to lay the plans for the streets, blocks, home-sites and public buildings.
Apostle Erastus Snow, A. F. McDonald and Moses Thatcher, who were the leaders, called ISAAC, Jerome Judd, Orson P. Brown and others to explore areas in the mountains that would be adequate for town-sites and ranches for the settlers there to maintain a livelihood.  Among the locations which were selected was Pratt's Ranch, which was occupied by Helaman Pratt, on which property there were hot and warm springs which bubbled up from the earth.  Some of the Colony people spent periods of time bathing there for health purposes.  This ranch was twenty miles up the Rio Verde.  The Parson Williams Ranch was located about three miles further up the river, west of Pratt's Ranch.  A few miles beyond that was "Cave Valley", which received its name because of a huge cave found up high on the side of the mountain facing the east, looking over the beautiful valley and canyon, and timber-covered Garden of Eden.  Within the cave, which covered at least one acre of
93
ground, there was an immense urn, or oya, made by ancient inhabitants in which they had stored various kinds of corn and grain.  The Urn is about fifteen feet high and reaches its widest diameter up about eleven feet, then tapers in about three feet in diameter, and then swells or flairs out to make it some wider at the top edge.  The Urn was made of a mixture of grass and clay, and was glazed on the outside to keep moisture from penetrating its surface.  When ISAAC procured a pole with which to climb up to investigate the workmanship .' and purpose of the Urn, he found inside many varieties of corn:  yellow, dark blue, pale blue, gray, and red; and other types of seeds and grains which were placed in heavy buck­skin pouches, each holding about five gallons.
Fifteen miles farther south, following along the course of the Rio Verde, they selected a location which later was called Colonia Pacheco., Ridges and mountains slope down to the river's edge, closing one little valley from another. Two miles south of Colonia Pacheco, they selected a ranch site, which later was Corrales Ranch, where the Lunts and Palmers homesteaded.  Then about six miles east, on the river, another ranch site, later called "Hop Valley Ranch", became an agri­cultural center and lumber camp .  Continuing on south about eight miles, they entered a circular valley which they named "Round Valley." A mile or so farther on, another beautiful valley opened to view, which is Colonia Garcia. 'Surrounded with tall timber of pine and oak, the valley is situated on a gentle slope towards the center, and a little creek in rainy season drains the water into the main creek, which eventually is carried into the Verde River.  This is a produc­tive valley for corn and vegetables, production of much cheese and butter, and a sawmill for the production of lumber and shingles.
Southeast of Colonia Garcia, "Mound Valley" was selected. Its name was derived from the mounds of earth that covered an ancient city of, apparently, considerable population. _It is more in open country and must have been a great central place for the inhabitants of the surrounding country.  There is an adjoining city area with a few rolling ridges separating the two.  This was called "Meadow Valley", .and was in the high mountains.  The ridges surrounding these valleys are covered with huge pines, some of whose trunks measure four to six feet in diameter.
About ten miles southwest of those valleys, they dropped down into a valley with a stream running through the center, which empties into the Valilan River, and in turn, empties into the Yackie River, and goes to the west coast.  This is . a good cattle ranch area, which was named "Juan de Dios".    , From here they proceeded in a southeasterly 'direction about „ thirty miles, and they found themselves in a beautiful fer­tile valley surrounded by high mountains.  This was named Colonia Chuichupa, an Indian name.  It is an area of about 8,000 feet above sea level but far enough south that they can grow apples, pears, peaches, currents and strawberries.  All of those valleys are good areas for raising vegetables, grain, dairy products, and for the production of lumber.
94
Those great men of courage felt that they had accomplished a great duty which was, in reality, a difficult one for the time and effort they spent to make those findings.  As they were returning home, they decided to explore a more direct route to and from those valleys, excluding the river's course. When they came to the crossing of the Rio Verde, near Colonia Pacheco, they turned East, and continued in that direc­tion to the top of the mountain, above the lower colonies. As they traveled, they decided what would be the most logical route for freighting lumber, shingles, ties, etc. down to the lower colonies, which could be used for the construction of homes and public buildings.
ISAAC, being ambitious in helping the colonies thrive
in horticulture, hooked up a four-mule team with a large
triple-bedded wagon and left in the winter of 1890 for San
Bernardino, California, to obtain fruit trees of specified
classes of fruit and grapes and shade trees from a nursery.
It took him four months to make the trip.  Upon his return
to Colonia Juarez, he distributed trees to all who desired
to raise fruit,
The colonies proved to be a very productive area for fruit growing.  Today, out of Colonia Juarez alone, they ship to various parts of Mexico more than 2,000 carloades of fruit annually, with eight hundred boxes to each car.  The quality of fruit compares well with any grown elsewhere.  That was the beginning of the colonies' fruit-production enterprises
ISAAC, along with the McClellans, Johnsons, Spilsburys,
Judds and others, helped in building roads into the mountains, digging ditches and developing other civic projects.  In those days, also, one might hear Isaac’s anvil ringing early and late from his blacksmith shop” that people might have wagons, plows, and teams shod for use on their farms and other purposes.  In 1903 and 1904, he made all of the tools that were used for the cutting of the decorative pink sandstone on the windows, foundation and pillars of the Juarez Stake Academy.
As ISAAC lived among the natives of Mexico, he sensed a feeling of unrest among them, and heard their comments of dissatisfaction because of the inequality of the division of land ownership among those people, which cause him in 1906
to make a statement to this effect:  "Beware of the conditions
in the Republic of Mexico.  There will be a terrible revolution  very soon.  Large land owners will have to divide their lands and possessions for the benefit of the thousands of families that have no land at all."  He felt that a revolu­tion would equalize the ownership of much of the property in Mexico.  (The Mexican Revolution began in 1910.  In 1912, nearly all of the Mormon people left their homes and belong­ings in Mexico, and fled to the United States.)
ISAAC'S son, ISAAC, JR., relates that upon one occasion when he and his father were on a trip to Colonia Dublan and Casas Grandes to take a load of fruit, they learned that Pres­ident Joseph F. Smith had arrived for Stake Conference, and • for the dedication of the Juarez Stake Academy.  Wanting to
95
see his old friend, ISAAC Sr. immediately drove to the home of Helaman Pratt, first counselor in the Stake Presidency, where President Smith was staying.  When ISAAC and Joseph F. met, after so many years, they threw their arms around each other and shed tears of joy.  Together, they recalled past experiences and renewed the close feelings they had formerly felt.  ISAAC JR., then about sixteen years of age, recalls the appreciation that President Joseph F. Smith expressed for the assistance that Theodore Turley and his family had rendered to him and his widowed mother as they crossed'the Plains.  After President Smith dedicated the Academy, ISAAC Sr. requested that he dedicate his home and eat dinner with him and his family.  This was a memorable occasion.
For eight years ISAAC served on the Stake High Council during the leadership of Anthony W. Ivins, who was the Pres­ident of the Juarez Stake.  It was always a source of great joy to him to be able to help others by contributing his means, crops, service, and encouragement to those who were in need, or who were not as blessed as were he and his family. He was a friend to all.  He took particular interest in young people who needed the lift of an encouraging word to help them pursue a straight course.  Honesty, sincerity, clean­liness of speech and action were outstanding in his character,

His main concern was for the well-being of his family,
both temporally and spiritually.  He felt, keenly, the chal- 
lenge that his father, Theodore Turley, placed upon his shoul-
ders when he said, "ISAAC, a great amount of Church activity
and responsibility of "my descendants will be carried on      
through you and your posterity."
In the fall of 1907, Isaac’s health seemed to be failing. At the insistence of CLARA~ANN and the children, he went to California to see of a rest and change of climate would effect improvement in his health.  On that trip he was able to visit members of his family who had remained in California Also, he visited his children in Northern Arizona, which lifted his spirits somewhat. However his condition did not improve a great deal.
He suddenly became extremely ill and about five days later, on December 3, 1908, he passed away at the age of 71 in the home that he had built in Colonia Juarez.  His wife, CLARA ANN, and some of_his_children were with him.  He was buried the following day beside his wife Sarah, in the cemetery on the southwest side of town, which he had worked hard to help prepare as a final resting place for the townspeople.
May the traits that made him great, and that inspired the love and confidence of those who knew him, live on in us, his numerous posterity—then, even in death, his goals and purposes shall not fail.

Theodore Wilford Turley
THEODORE WILFORD TURLEY, son of ISAAC and SARAH GREEN-  '
WOOD TURLEY was born in Minersville, Beaver County, Utah,
August 17, 1863. His ancestors were of English and Canadian
birth.. ..  ... -   ....
His grandfather.Theodore Turley.who was"the first ances­
tor to join the church, came to Canada from England as a
minister of the Methodist Church.  Two missionaries, Parley
P. Pratt, and Isaac Russell asked Theodore if they could use
his Chapel for a meeting.  He loaned the Chapel and also in-
vited his congregation to attend.  They sang, prayed and
listened to the message.  Theodore said to himself "That is
the truth and I shall be condemned if I do not accept."  In
the words of Theodore Turley, "He (Isaac Russell) came to me
and said he had been inspired in a dream that he must come to
my house and preach.  I received the truth the first time I
heard it, and my wife also was baptized on the 1st of March
1837 into the L. D. S. Church."   . ..
When THEODORE WILFORD was two weeks old his parents moved to Beaver, Utah.  They lived ..there until the fall of 1877.  He was fourteen when they were called to go to Arizona Leaving Beaver, they went to St. George, Utah, and worked on the Temple six weeks until they received orders to go on.
They arrived in Lehi, Arizona, in February 1877.  Here they made ditches and put in crops.  In August of the same' year they went back to Utah to get the rest of the family and on their return trip they came back in company with the .: William J. Flakes.  Here he met MARY FLAKE who afterwards became his wife.
THEODORE drove cattle; it was a very hard trip coming over the mountains in the winter, so much ice'and snow.  On "' New Year"s night it was so cold that seven calves froze'to death.  The only way the men could keep from freezing was to
100.
build large fires letting them burn about four hoursthen
scraping the coals away and making their beds on thewarm
ground.                        .. ,
This time they located in Joseph City, 1878, living in the United Order three years.  Here THEODORE acted as messenger boy for Brother Richards, taking letters etc, to Brother Lot Smith who lived in Sunset.  These had to be taken at night so that he could help them in the daytime making dams.
He lived in Joseph City in the fall of 1881.  When they moved to Snowflake in the fall of 1882 he made another trip to Utah but for a different reason than before.  He and MARY AGNES FLAKE, daughter of William J. Flake and Lucy Hannah White Flake went to get married in the St. George Temple, They went by team and wagon; the trip took them 21 days each way.  When they arrived at St. George they called on Brother Snow who informed them that their recommends had not been signed by the President, and that they would have to be sent back to Salt Lake City.  This would take a week.  Of course their hopes fell, for they would be at an expense waiting so long.  However, Brother Snow decided to take the responsibil­ity upon himself.  He sent a telegram to Salt Lake City to President Taylor and they were married after one day delay.
THEODORE gave MARY a wedding ring he had made from a 25 cent piece.  When this ring wore thin and finally broke, MARY showed it to THEODORE and he said "I won't have to stay with you any more, our bargain is broken."  He didn't say anything but went outside and came back with a heavy black ring from a shoe and said, putting it on her finger, "When this wears out I will give you my permission to leave."
Upon coming back-to Snowflake, they cleared out a
chicken coop belonging to her brother James and began house­
keeping... 'All the furniture they- had was just those things
which were absolutely necessary, such as, two spoons, two
plates, and a bed.  For a broom they took rabbit brush and
tied it together.  They used this kind of broom for six
months.
THEODORE and MARY started out in very humble conditions
but were .always happy and contented and looked on the bright
side of life.  
THEODORE was a very hard working man and had to begin at the very bottom.  He worked at blacksmithing, farming, freighting, storekeeping and any honest labor that would bring in a living.  They ran a trading post at Adair for four years, taking care of the Post Office and store for travelers and Indians.
He and MARY were willing to share with others.  Several
times they had money saved up to put in a bank or to invest
in something when they would have to spend it on some one
else.
101
His mother died in Mexico and five of his brothers came to him for help.  The youngest being two years old and the oldest twenty one, they were all barefooted and in very destitute condition, but they were given a home and help. He helped to finance two brothers' wedding trips, by team, to Utah.  One made their home with him for several years.  They didn't help people grudgingly.  THEODORE was called on a mission to the Southern States.  He hadn't been well for sometime before he left.  Perhaps on this account his health was not very good, and after staying ten months in the mission field he came down with chills and fever and had to lie in bed 41 days, so he had to return home.  He had to sleep out in the dew and rain so many nights not being able to get a bed.
While on his mission he traveled without purse or script and only paid out seventy five cents in the ten months for meals and bed, but he often went hungry and had to sleep out in the damp without anything but an umbrella over him. Quite often he found a haystack he could crawl into.
While on his way home he had quite an experience. When the train stopped in Kansas City he got off to get a drink of ice water. When he returned to the train he couldn't find his ticket.  He even turned his pocket where he kept the ticket inside out, but it wasn't there.  He went back to where he had a drink of water and the train had left him. So he went over to the hotel, and got him a room so he could lie down.  Soon after he felt in the same pocket and to his joy there was his ticket.  The train that left him was wrecked, so he has always felt that the Lord had taken this way to take care of him.  This has been a testimony to his family.
He was bedfast for three months after he came home. The next few years brought them very hard luck. All three horses died, also six head of milk cows.  Every six months a cow would die, but "The race is not to the weak or the strong, but to he that endureth to the end".  At times they felt discouraged but they kept struggling on, both working very hard trying to educate and care for their family.  They had a family of 10 children: 4 girls, 6 boys (the last being twin boys.)  Two children died in infancy.
THEODORE and MARY both liked camping trips so quite often they would take their family and go to the mountains. For years THEODORE hauled freight from Holbrook to Fort Apache.  He had two wagons and four or more horses.  He would go to Holbrook one week to load it, taking three days to go down, load up, and back to Snowflake.  The next week he would leave early Monday for Fort Apache and it would take all week to make the trip.  One of the boys, Ormus or Barr, would drive one of the teams.  The men were great hands to trade horses.  One day while freighting he met a man who wanted to trade him horses.  Father asked "Is he any good?" "Well, the man replied, he doesn't look very good".  (He had long shaggy hair). THEODORE made the trade
102
and in traveling that afternoon the horse stumbled quite a bit.  When they unharnessed that night they found the horse was blind,  THEODORE decided that "He doesn't look very good" had a different meaning than he thought. He took it as a joke, thinking the man was very clever.
On another trip, Ormus was driving a mule and horse and was back of his father and his load when they came to a long steep hill.  The mule decided to go down the hill in a hurry so he circled around THEODORE'S wagon and ran down the hill as fast as he could.  Ormus was trying to get the brake on and was still hanging to it when they reached the bottom. He was uninjured. THEODORE said that if he had had a gun he would have tried to shoot the mule when he passed him be­cause he thought for sure Ormus would be killed.
THEODORE, MARY,Barr and baby Roberta went up to Taylor, 3 miles above Snowflake for some hives of bees.  Coming home, one of the hives tipped over and the bees came out fighting. THEODORE threw a quilt over MARY and the baby; the bees were on the horses and they were running and plunging.  THEODORE climbed down from the wagon and with a great effort unhitched the horses and took them back to Taylor.  Mr. Lewis had come out and smudged the bees so all was quiet by the time Ormus got there.
Outstanding in THEODORE'S life was the camping trips he took with his family.  Although he had to work hard he did take time off each year for an outing.  He always encouraged his children to take their friends.  They would go in wagons and horse back.  One time there was 72 in the group at the White Mountains.  He was a great foot racer, although he was born with a crooked foot.  He would challenge a man or woman or girl for a race (after he was old) and he nearly always won.  He had a way of getting in front and holding them back so they couldn't pass him. MARY had a hat shop and the women liked to have THEODORE there to tell them which hat to buy; he had good taste.
Finally, as all of his land had washed away, they decided to homestead up in the mountains near Heber, Arizona. They were the first homesteaders and were about twenty miles from Snowflake.  They spent two summers there, building a log house.  They moved to town for the winters.  They had many a good time.
THEODORE'S greatest sorrow came when the second summer MARY became ill at the Ranch.  They moved to town but she gradually became worse and on Dec. 19, 1909 she died, being just 43 years old.  But she had lived a full life.
He married SARAH SALINE SMITHSON May 31, 1911.  They had one child Nina who died at two years of age.  Aunt Saline was a mother to the children at home and a good helpmate for THEODORE. She had raised her own brothers and sisters after her mother's death.
103
THEODORE served as Sunday School Superintendent at Adair, now Showlow, for one year, 1891-1892.  He was President of Y.M.M.I.A. for 2 years in Snowflake.  He was one of the finest Mutual Missionaries ever sent from Snowflake Stake,
serving 3 months.
While at Joppa he was the first Sunday School Superin­tendent, serving two years and was released to be presiding Elder for two years.

When he moved back to Snowflake he was chosen as Super­intendent of Sunday School for 3 years and in that time he only missed two Sunday Schools.  One of them he was in Miami Sunday School and the other one he was in Mesa, Arizona to Sunday School.  At the time of his death on November 15, 1930, he was mayor of Snowflake and a very good one.  He was buried in Snowflake.  At his funeral they spoke of him as "The Village Blacksmith" and brought out He was an honest man." He was very strict with his children always being on time to anything they went to.  I don't think he was ever late in his life.
THEODORE had 146 living descendants in 1959. Children of THEODORE and MARY AGNES FLAKE TURLEY:

Lucy Turley Bates
-  Lucy Turley, third daughter of THEODORE WILFORD and MARY Agnes  FLAKE TURLEY, was born in Snowflake, Arizona, 8:20 p.m. June 30, 1888, in a one room log house.  She was blessed August 2, 1883, by President Jesse M. Smith and baptized July 3, 1896 by William J. Flake in Flake Reservoir at Grandpa's Ranch. Osmer D. Flake confirmed her the same day.  She worked hard as a child helping to weave carpets, tending babies, washing dishes, and washing clothes on a washboard.  Her schooling was all in Snowflake where she began September 1894, graduated from grammar school the spring of 1904, and from Snowflake Stake Academy April, 1906.  When the railroad was built from Williams to the Grand Canyon her father was in charge of cons­truction, so he took his family to camp for the summer.  It did not rain, so water supply became low, and many had Mount­ain Fever from the polly-wog water.  Lucy had it and lost all , her hair, but it came back in curly.  She did not like to ride horses but her father insisted that she ride every day when they were living on the Homestead in Aripine.  The summer after she graduated from Snowflake Academy she began clerking in Uncle Jim Flake's General Store at $20.00 a month, paying her own board and room.  She taught Sunday School and Primary classes while-'a young girl.
Lucy's mother died when she was 21.  Her first train ride was at that same age when she went to Salt Lake City and was married in the temple to Laron Lionel Bates October 4, 1911. They went to live at the Prescott Experiment Station seven miles north of Prescott, Arizona.  This farm was under the direction of the University of Arizona, and they had many
113
successful crops while there.
They received a salary of
$60.00 per month.  Their
nearest neighbor was one and
a half miles away.  Karl
Theodore, Ellen Lucille and
Myrtle were born there.  In
1917 the Bates moved to a
farm owned by an eastern
company and stayed there
eight years.  Dorothy Alice
was born there.  While there,
they drove ten miles to Chino
Valley for Sunday School and
Church; seven miles to Pres-
cott for Primary and Relief
Society; and three miles to
Pleasant Valley to school.
The family moved to Chino on
March 1, 1926, as Laron had
been put in as branch president.
Their fifth child, Kathryn
Eleanor, was born there.  Lucy
cooked for the school children,
giving them a hot lunch in her
home. She later was hired as a
cook over to the school when
the school lunch program began.
There she cooked twenty years,SSTfi

often canning her own supply of fruit for the school so
their lunches could be cheaper.
Lucy has held a number of positions in the Chino Branch: Primary President; YWMIA President; 2nd Counselor, Theology teacher, Work Day Director and visiting teacher in Relief Society; Sunday School Secretary and teacher of the adult class.  She was also a 4-H leader in the community.  Lucy has spent much of her time quilting and has made quilts for all her children and grandchildren and many more.  Many of her relatives call her "Lute".
Laron died Nov. 28, 1941 and Lucy stayed in Chino Valley. Their son Theodore went to the Central States on a mission and they have had twelve grandchildren serve missions,
Lucy has five children, thirty grandchildren, and 49 great grandchildren.(March 1977)

I served a hitch in a CC camp.  Went to Hawthorne, Nevada for six months, but came back to Chino and was water boss for a while.  Then I went to work for the Arizona Highway and worked for eleven years until I was old enough to be retired.
I was Sunday School Superintendent for Chino Branch
several years; also, first Counselor in the Branch.  I have
five children, nineteen grandchildren, and two great-grand­
children.

Lowell Barr Turley
I was born April 21, 1892, at a place which was called at that time "Fool Holler" or "Adair", which is now in Showlow, Arizona in a wagon box with two feet of snow on the ground.  My parents were operating a store there for the Indians.  After three years we moved back to Snowflake, Ariz,
124
My parents were THEODORE WILFORD TURLEY and MARY AGNES FLAKE.  I .was the sixth child of 10 children:  four girls and six boys, the last two boys twins.
I was baptized June 30, 1900 by my father, THEODORE WIL­FORD TURLEY, in the Flake Reservoir.  My father freighted to Fort Apache, and put me to driving an outfit of four horses along with him when I was 9 yrs. old.  When I was ele­ven years old he had me take a load over to Fort Apache by myself with four horses.  I will briefly relate this inci­dent:  When I arrived on the Indian Reservation I became frightened that night.  I traveled until about 9 o'clock then before unharnessing the horses.  I put nose bags of grain on them, then hobbled them and made me a bed on top of a load of rough boxes.  I could not sleep thinking of Indians, so finally got up thinking it must be nearly morning; as I drove into Fort Apache a distance of about 15 miles, it was just coming day light.  That day I drove until I was off the reservation on my way back to Snowflake.
As a boy before I was married I helped my Dad farm on the Ranch; also, we had cattle.  I was married June 18, 1912 to Grace Freeman.  This marriage was solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple October 12, 1912.  There was only a middle fence between our folks' homes so we knew each other all our .lives and used to play together when we were small children.
While living on the Ranch after our children began to grow up, we held a little Sunday School in our home for the few families close around.  I was soon set apart as Presi­ding Elder over the Sunday School on May 21, 1925.
I worked for the Forest Service as fire guard, also telephone repair man, and finished up with them as Road Foreman for sometime.
My wife and I had five children, two boys and three girls.  We had the misfortune of losing our little Barbara at 5 years of age.  We now have 14 grandchildren and two great grandchildren (Oct. 13, 1960).  We are happy to have been through the Temple with our four children, also our two grandchildren who are married.
We helped operate a boys ranch for three years, then built up a girls ranch and operated it for 21 years when we were called on a mission together to the North Western States. We felt that was the high light of our lives.
In 1938 we moved to Snowflake.  That same year I was made President of the Elders Quorum in Snowflake, serving for 3 years. My wife and I then went to take our horses to Camel Back Inn and spent the winter there.  After arriving home I was put back in as President of the Elders Quorum until I left for our mission in the fall of 1945. In 1947 we were called to organize a Sunday School in McNary.  In 1948 I was called to be Bishop of the Snowflake Ward and I served in this capacity for nine years.  Later I was then appointed a member of the Snowflake Stake High Council. During the
125
time I was Bishop I called 86 boys and girls to serve missions for the Church.  At one time there were 35 serving missions at one time from the little town of Snowflake, less than 1,000 people.
Grace and myself were called to be guides at the Temple gardens Oct. 15, 1959, we made many friends and enjoyed our  work there very much.  All our married lives we have worked together, she has backed me up in all my positions in the church and has been a wonderful helpmate to me.
We have had the privilege of going through all the tem­ples except New Zealand and Hawaii, and have visited seven­teen foreign countries and have seen most of the United States and found that the Lord has certainly created a beau­tiful world for us to live in.
Barr died on October 10, 1975. Children of Barr and Grace Turley:

Frederick Andrew Turley
Fred was born August 4, 1895 at Snowflake, Arizona. Wilma Fillerup Turley was born March 8, 1900 at Colonia Diaz, Mexico. They were married June 1, 1920, and started "ranching" at Airpine with Fred's brothers Ormus, Barr, Harvey, H_arry, and their father THEODORE.  Right after the war things were sky high, especially cows, so they thought they could make it big.  They did, BIG in DEBT.  The slump  came on, spring of 1921, the bottom fell out and we were left with the burden of a staggering debt.  All got discouraged and moved from the Ranch but Fred and Barr, and they, with their wives, decided to make it go.
We did make it work, struggling along, enjoying the while our children as they came into our Home, five of them. Work­ing and playing together has been such a delight through all the years.  We had school on the Ranch for them to attend, often just barely enough to get a teacher, but our children did well under such conditions and all graduated from high school with honors, and attended universities.  They were all
128
married in the Temple to fine companions and now are rearing their children in the Gospel, being active in their wards and stakes.
In the depth of the depression, 1923, the Bank took all our cows at $20 per head with calves thrown in, so we had to turn to something else to make a living until we could get back into cattle.  Fred got the mail contract from Holbrook to Heber, for 8 years, and that gave us a little cash, We desired a rich, full life for ourselves and children, so we decided to develop a Ranch for Boys.  Sundown Ranch for Boys, we called it.
Through faith and prayers and hard work, we promised the Lord that if he would help us to get the right contact we would pay an honest tithing and teach the Gospel as much as we could and try to make a life long friend of all who came to the Ranch.  Our prayers were answered, and Bill and Viola Kurtz of New York City came into our lives and we started Sundown Ranch for Boys, summer of 1927.  It was so successful that in 1930 we established Sundown Ranch for Girls which Barr and Grace_ cared for.
October 1941 another dream to come true, Stan was called to the Eastern States Mission where Fred filled his Mission in 1915-17. War drums beat again that year, Dec. 75h and Grant enlisted in the Air Corps.  He didn't come back; he went down with his plane the first daylight raid over Berlin, March 6, 1944.  What a price for peace, and yet there is no Peace!
We ran the Boy's Ranch until summer of 1944 when we sold it to Alma Bigler and spent all our time with cattle. That summer Wanda and her sisters took Promontory Tower to watch for fires on the forest.  It was a good experience for them.  Grant was missing and Stan was in the Air Force, the war intensified and the days went by with stress and strain for all the world.
Building up our range and cattle was such a delight to us, improving our herd of good Herefords year after year, and the proof was in the sale of our yearling steers the fall of 1950 when they weighed out 800 pounds at the Snowflake Stock­yards after being driven all day.
August 1951 the call came for a Mission to Texas-Louisiana.  Fred said, "I can only do one thing at a time," so we SOLD THE RANCH.  It was hard to do, but the Lord blessed us for it.  Since then we have spent our entire time in the Church, and Life is good.
Missions for Fred and Wilma as a team:  Texas-Louisiana 1951-53; Arizona Temple 1955-57; K6 Ranch Florida 1957-58; President Southwest Indian Mission 1958-61; Arizona Temple 1961-63; First Counselor in Arizona Temple Presidency Aug. 1963-April 1966.

Monita Turley Robison
I, Monita Turley, Robison, having been born of goodly parents, had an advantage in life from the very beginning. Our family of five children, of which I was the fourth, were blessed with the fine example of our parents Wilma Caroline Fillerup Turley and Fred Andrew Turley.  We were born and reared on" a cattle ranch in Northern Arizona where we learned many skills that have stood us in good stead in our lives, such as hoeing loco weed, branding calves, etc.; these are things that are most helpful for every modern housewife to know, of course.
Our school was a one-room-for-all-eight-grades-stove-in-the-middle-of-the-room variety where we .received a personal­ized and excellent education.  My younger sister and I did the janitorial work for $8.00 a month. My eighth grade graduating class was the largest one during the time I was in school there were two boys and so I got to be valedic­torian; this might have been because my father was on the school board, however.  For high school we went to Snowflake and this was our first experience with big city life.  After graduation I went to BYU for two years of college which brought many more new experiences.  It was here that I met Clarence Robison who was just back from the 1948 Olympics and teaching health at BYU as well as still being on their track team as a distance runner.  Going with Robbie was fun because I lived in the dormitory and many of the girls were in his Health class since it was required and he was the only teacher.  We were married in the Manti Temple on March 31, 1950.
We now have nine children:  Ronald Grant 24, attending BYU; Steven Franklin married to the former Carolyn Gee on June 28, 1974, also attending BYU.  Ron went to Gulf States Mission, Steve to Sweden.  Steve and Carolyn were married in the Manti Temple.  Sandra Jane just got her associate degree from BYU and married Orrin James Olsen Nov. 27, 1974 in the Provo Temple.  Mark Turley is a Senior at Provo High and a runner like his Dad, Scott Larry a Junior at Provo
132
High and interested in hunting; Natalie in 7th grade; Jeffrey Charles 5th grade; Camille 4th; and Bart Frederick 1st.
The church has always been very important to me.  It started with baptism in a swimming pool and very often Sun­day School on the Ranch with only our own family.  I have since been in all the auxiliaries and have enjoyed them all. My life has not been one of terrific import, but I thank the Lord for my many blessings and the advantages and oppor­tunities that have been mine.  I pray that I may be worthy in some way of these great blessings.

Marilyn Turley Larson
Mack Robert Larson and Marilyn Turley were married on March 8, 1952, in the Arizona Temple.  Married life was begun in the little logging town of Overgaard on Sitgreaves Nat­ional Forest, with Mack working for Southwest Lumber Mills as a mechanic in the shop.  Life here was quiet and peaceful and we loved living in the woods with hunting and fishing at our doorstep.  Allyn and Brad were born during the time we lived there.
After three years we moved to the Turley Ranch in Airpine to take care of things while Fred and Wilma went to Mesa to fill the call of temple workers.  In the year we were there we thoroughly enjoyed the solitude and lovely surroundings, and enjoyed having horses and a few head of livestock; we also discovered that five fireplaces consumed an unlimited amount of wood, and that Arizona can be cold!
133
The children were getting bigger and the problem of school emerging, so in March of 1956 we broke away from the beloved hills and moved to Phoenix, where Mack was em­ployed with Tanner Bros. Contracting Company.  We lived first in Scottsdale Ward, and then moved into 15th Ward, and then when it was divided, our membership was in the new Phoenix 18th Ward.
Mack accepted and filled many callings in the Church: Elders Quorum Presidency, Sunday School Superintendent, and Second Counselor in the 18th Ward Bishopric.  Marilyn worked in the Primary, filling positions in the ward and stake and as Age Group Counselor in the YWMIA.
Rodney was born in 1957, while grandparents Fred and Wilma Turley were in Florida on the Church Ranch!  Amy followed In 1960.
Mack is at the present time Equipment Superintendent for Tanner Brothers Contracting Company and Metropolitan Sand and Rock in Phoenix and Yuma.
We find much joy and satisfaction in our fine children, our home and the church.  We are grateful for the many bles­sings that the Lord has given us and look forward to many new and rewarding experiences in the coming years.

Roberta Turley Tanner

was born October28 1898, the eighth child of THEODORE and MARY AGNES FLAKE TURLEY, in Snowflake , Arizona .  Her memories as a child were of her parents' store, post office, and restaurant at Fool's Hollow (near Showlow) and her mother working in Flake's store.
When Roberta was between eight and nine years old

Roberta Turley and Arthur Tanner 134
THEODORE and MARY homesteaded 25 miles southwest of Snowflake at what they called Joppa and later Airpine.  They lived in tents until a log house could be built.  MARY AGNES worked hard but didn't have good health.  She passed away on Dec­ember 16, 1909 which Roberta remembers as "the saddest day to ever come to our family."" She was only ten.  Two years later THEODORE married SALINA SMITHSON from Woodruff.  At the age of 13, Roberta was called to be a Sunday School teacher in their small group at Airpine, which she enjoyed.
When she was old enough Roberta attended high school at the Snowflake Academy.  Here she met Arthur Tanner from Joseph City.  On one occasion a friend of Roberta’s Eva Owens, wanted to have a date with Arthur so Roberta went with her to try to talk to him.  They met Arthur and Albert Westover, and walked home with them.  When it was time for Roberta to go, Arthur went with her and asked for a date. She didn't know what to do but finally accepted and she "has been going with him ever since."
Arthur was living with Uncle John Flake, working and going to school.  They decided to get married on February 16th which was Roberta's mother's birthday but because the Tanners had to come to Snowflake for conference that week, the date was changed to Monday, February 12, 1917 to make it more convenient.
The wedding was held in THEODORE'S dance hall in Snow-flake.  Bishop Howard Shumway married Roberta and Arthur witnessed by "the biggest crowd Snowflake ever had." A big dance followed the wedding.  The next day they moved into Uncle John's bedroom.  "To get to this room we either had to go through Uncle John's kitchen or out the window, so we used the window."
In May Arthur and Roberta went by train to Salt Lake City to be married in the Temple. Aunt Roberta Clayton lent them a suitcase to go.  On the way back from Salt Lake they stopped at Lucy and Laron Bate's farm near Prescott where they stayed and worked until November.  Then they moved to Joseph City where they bought their first real home.
Their first baby, Genevieve, was born January 11, 1918. Sister McLaws helped with the birth.  Eighteen months later Fontella was born with the help of Grandma Tanner and Mamie Porter.  Sister Richards helped with the birth of Marna, Ethel Porter came for the births of Marlin, Shirley, Ilene, Kenneth, and Janice.  When Janice was born she came every day fro 10 days, bathed the baby and Roberta, and fixed din­ner for the children.  It all cost $35.00 which was the most they ever paid.
Arthur bought into the dairy business first, then built roads for John Turley and R.C. Tanner.  Roberta held many positions of service in the Church, enjoying especially her years of visiting teaching with Roxie Shelley.
A faith promoting experience in Arthur and Roberta's lives occurred when Roberta was in a car accident and hurt
135
very badly,  "Dr. Wright had done all he could for me and I was getting worse.  He said he must operate the next morning. The lab tests were taken but I stayed home that night.  Art got brothers David A. Butler and Marion Roberts to come and administer to me and I felt so much better that the operation was called off, and I was up and about in a few days."
Arthur was interested in good horses and always wanted to have a good team.  He also held many positions in the Church and always encouraged his family to be active.
In March of 1939 Arthur and Roberta and their family moved to near Winslow where he ran a farm for Uncle Rollin. Three years later they moved on into Winslow where Arthur became a school janitor.  He retired in July, 1961 after more than 20 years service.  On August 31, 1972 Roberta passed away in Winslow, Arizona at age 73,

Genevieve Tanner Bushman
Genevieve Tanner was born January 11, 1918 at the old Tanner homestead about 1 1/2 miles out of Joseph City.  The family lived in Chino Valley and Joseph City when she was little.  The last two years of high school she rode the bus to Holbrook each day.  She graduated in May, 1935 and then worked in Holbrook until April, 1937 when she was called as a missionary by President Grant.  She went to Texas and Louisiana under President Elray L. Christiansen.
At the same time her boyfriend, Elwin Ewing Bushman, son of Alonza E. and Edith Smith Bushman, was called to the Eastern States on a mission.  After completing her mission and returning to Joseph City, she accompanied the A. E. Bushman family back East to pick up Elwin who had been involved in the Hill Cumorah pageant three times while on his mission.
On October 4, 1939 Genevieve was married to Elwin in the Salt Lake Temple by Nicholas G. Smith. Both of their mothers accompanied them to Salt Lake.  Elwin and Genevieve bought Grandfather Tanner's house in Joseph City.  They lived there about a year until Elwin was transferred to Globe to drive the Smith-Heywood bus between Globe and Holbrook.  Their first child, Floyd Elwyn was born in Globe, August 6, 1941. In December, 1942 the Bushmans moved back to Joseph City where the rest of their children were born:  John Darrell, Laree, Arthur Vern, Blaine Jay, Jeffrey Alonzo, Maylene, and Nyla.
Elwin worked for Smith-Heywood for some time.  He also has had his own businesses for many years, including hauling fuel oil, hauling coal, and hauling feed.  He has also worked for Whiting Brothers Transportation Company driving a gas truck.
In 1951 Elwin began building a new home for his family using materials from their old house and from as far away as Arkansas. There were many hardships as the family moved from


the old house to the new but these were outweighed by the happiness of moving into a new home with basement and furnace in 1952.
Both Elwin and Genevieve have served long in the Church; she in various positions including Stake Primary President and he in the Bishopric for 11 years, the High Council, and as Snowflake Stake Mission President.

Fontella Tanner Randall
Fontella Tanner was born July 4, 1919 in Joseph City, Arizona in a little house under the hill that her folks had bought from Ben and Pearl Hunt when they moved to their ranch east of town.  Grandmother Tanner wanted Fontella named Liberty Bell, because she was born on the 4th of July. The folks got the name Fontella from a story in the Relief Society Magazine.
Fontella went to Holbrook for her junior and senior year of high school.  She won a $25.00 scholarship given by Whit­ing Bros, and by adding a little more to it, purchased a Cedar Chest.
The Joseph City students rode the bus into Holbrook, and often at night as it went by the Tanner home, a pair of shoes would fly out the window and the, later, Fontella would come up the street barefooted.  After Fontella graduated from high school, she worked as a bookkeeper and stenographer for Whiting Bros.
She took part in lots of plays in Joseph City, and also in Winslow; was drama director of Winslow MIA for about ten years, and was president of MIA one year and has worked in the Re­lief Society.  She has worked in the PTA and has been president of the Junior High and Jefferson School PTA in Winslow. Fontella is active in the Ladies Society of B. of L. F. and E. or Firement Ladies organization.  She belongs to the Women's Auxiliary to the Hospital and does Volunteer work for them whenever needed.
Fontella was married May 24, 1939 to Richard C. Randall.
They lived in Joseph City until 1941 when Richard became em-­
ployed on the Santa Fe Railroad as a fireman so they moved to
Winslow and still live there at the present time.  They were
married in the Arizona Temple and she was the first of her
family to be married. While they lived in Joseph City her
sister Genevieve lived with them until she was married in
October, 1939.
Fontella does lots of crocheting.  She gives lots of it away to her friends as Christmas presents, also sells lots of it. Every year she takes several first places in the County Fair, both for her crocheting and her cakes and candies.
Richard is handy with tools and has added a bedroom and a basement onto his home, installed new plumbing and a gas
138
furnace. In Winslow Richard began working for the Railroad as a fireman and graduated up to an Engineer during the War. He has been a Scout Master in Winslow for several years.

Marna Tanner Mealy
Marna was born November 30, 1922.  She was born in Joseph City and lived there until her family moved to Winslow in 1939. She helped out at home with the farm and dairy chores as her father spent most of his time, during her young childhood, following road construction jobs.  Marna graduated from Winslow High School and also worked at the Central Drugstore in Winslow.  She has been working somewhere or other ever since. She determined to go to college and so spent one year at the  Gila Junior College at Thatcher, Arizona, staying at the home of Jesse A. Udall and family and working for her board "and room.  Then, because her mother needed an operation, Marna stayed at home a year to help care for the family.
Marna then took a course in clerking and began work for the Safeway Company, and she worked for this company for three
139
years, part of the time in Winslow and part in other places. Cecil A. Mealy also worked for the Safeway company and they became acquainted.  After going to Provo for a time Marna married Cecil on April 8, 1947 at her parents' home in Winslow with Bishop Earl B. Westover officiating.  They then went to Bellflower, California to live.
Cecil Arden Mealy was born February 24, 1918 to Dorothy Olive and Lee Mealy.  Cecil was converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and was baptized Dec. 5, 1953 -by Herbert C. Rice at the East Long Beach Stake Center, and confirmed Dec. 6, 1953 by Raymond C. DeWitt in the Norwalk Chapel.  He was ordained an Elder in the Melchizedek Priesthood January 16, 1955 by Max A. Bryan.  This made Cecil eligible to baptize his son, Thomas Henry Mealy, in 1957. Cecil was the Ward Clerk for some time and did a very fine job of it.  He worked for Safeway in Winslow and then in Bellflower, California, then tried different jobs for a while, until he went to work for the Purex Corporation.  His hours are from 3 p.m. until 11 p.m. so he must sleep days, but he has worked himself up to a good-paying job with this company.
Marna has worked and taught in many church organizations. After living in Bellflower for four years the Mealys moved to Artesia, California and bought themselves a home, which is now used as a storehouse, with a small apartment fixed up for her parents to use when they visit, while they live in a nice new home that has recently been completed.
A son, Thomas Henry, was born to the Mealys December 21, 1948 at Downey, California, although Dr. Wright had told Marna she would never have any children.  They were very happy with this son, but hoped for more children; however, they finally adopted a little girl, Cynthia Louise born November 4, 1948.
Although Cecil has a full-time job, Marna has plenty to keep her busy.  She attends to their chicken ranch.  She feeds and waters chickens, gathers the eggs and cleans them and gets them ready for market. With several thousand chick­ens this is a full-time job, and she goes on the run most of the time.  Yet any time that any of their family or friends visit them they always find time to take them to see the sights
around where they live.

Marlin Arthur Tanner
Marlin was born March 27, 1924.  At the time of his birth his folks were in the dairy business.  Marlin was born early in the morning, so Arthur was late for milking.  He left the house on a run and the men decided that the baby was a boy because Arthur jumped three fences on the way to the dairy corrals.
When Marlin was nine months old, we thought we were going to lose him with Brights Disease.  His mother called her father in Snowflake and asked him to come down and advise her what to do.  Grandpa THEODORE TURLEY came and advised against taking
140
Marlin to Gallup to the hospital, as the doctors wanted, but said to call in the Elders and have him administered to, and then he told about a chiropractor in Snowflake and wanted us to try him.  The doctor came down and said he would like to treat Marlin for a week.  He promised he wouldn't be any worse, and felt sure he could help him.  The week was well spent for at the end the swelling was gone from his face, his eyes were so he could see and his arms and legs and body were almost back to normal.  He was completely healed and never had another spell.
Marlin had to work hard as soon as he was old enough. His Uncle Barr Turley gave him a little Shetland pony and he really loved that horse.  He could go out and catch him when no one else could get near.  He got to be a good rider.
While Marlin was still quite young, his father worked away from home and Marlin had to take over most of the out­side work. We still had the dairy and the children and mother tried to keep it going, besides gathering crops. Marlin liked to read, and it was a common sight to see him in the big rocking chair with his feet in the air reading the Bible.  He liked the stories.  He also liked to cook, always wanting to make cookies or cake.  The kids all liked to play in the side street, roast corn and potatoes in the coals of a bonfire and, with a little bread and butter, have a wonderful meal.
Marlin liked to play basketball and would walk the four miles to the ranch after practice after the family moved to Winslow.  He was on the first string and Winslow won the All Northern Championship the year he was a Senior.  He was also good in math.  He graduated May 29, 1942 from high school.
After graduating from high school he went to Phoenix and worked for a few months during the summer, then he went to BYU for college in the fall.  He went two years and part of the next, and then he was called into the Service June 11, 1943, He was first sent to college in Texas, then Montana and finally Wyoming during the early part of Air Force training.  He tried out to be a pilot but later switched to Navigator.  He was sent to England in October, 1944 and stationed outside of London.  His plane bombed over Germany.  After he completed 35 missions over Germany he stayed on the ground and plotted courses for others.  He returned July 1, 1945.
Marlin met Anna Lee Eastman in Winslow High School.  Anna Lee went into Nurses Training in Los Angeles and Marlin went to BYU.  Finally, on July 30, 1945 they were married during Anna Lee's two-weeks vacation from the hospital.  Anna Lee . went back to Los Angeles to the hospital and Marlin went with her and tried working:  first on a street car line, and then in a bank, but he finally re-entered BYU in February, 1946. He and Anna Lee met in Winslow for vacation then in December, 1946 Anna Lee graduated from Nurses School and went to Provo to live while Marlin finished school.  He graduated in June, 1948.  They lived in Provo two years and Anna Lee worked in the hospital there.  Their son Vance was born May 20, 1947.
141
Marlin accepted a job with the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Washington in 1948.  They enjoyed their stay there as • they had a big strawberry patch and could pick cherries, peaches and pears.  Marlin was transferred to Escondido,    " ' California and was there for about a year.  A son, Donald Lee Tanner was born there on November 4, 1949.  Marlin worked on the Pala Indian Reservation and in Hoopa and was then called back into the Service in 1953.  He was sent to Korea.  In Korea Marlin was the Navigator and Bombardier of a B26.  Marlin had a week's rest leave in Japan.  The day after returning from Japan, Marlin1s plane took off on a mis­sion to bomb the supply lines of the North Koreans, and nothing was ever heard from the plane again.  He was declared missing January 13, 1953.  His daughter, Roberta Ann, was born March 26, 1953.
After Marlin was reported missing Anna Lee moved to Santa Rosa and finally to Phoenix, Arizona where she bought a home.

Shirley Tanner Diercksen
Shirley was born August 25, 1926 in Joseph City, Arizona. She moved to Winslow with her family at the close of the school year when she was in the seventh grade, May, 1939. At age 14, Shirley started working at the Central Drugstore as a dishwasher.  Since she was large for her age, she was soon allowed to work at the Soda Fountain.  She continued to work there after school and on week ends, until she graduated.
The Tanner family moved into the town of Winslow about the time Shirley started having dates.  Since Winslow was a small town, they could walk anywhere they went for recreation. Shirley went with quite a few boys before she found the one she wanted to marry.  Dancing, bowling, and watching basket­ball games were her favorite things to do.
When she was seventeen she met Leonard Lawrence Dierck­sen.  They went everywhere together for about six months before they were married.  As soon as she graduated from high school she got a job at Safeway.  She went to Phoenix for a training course.  It was the first time she had been away from home alone.  Phoenix was a big city and it almost scared her, but a sister, Marna, lived there and it helped her not to get homesick.
On September 29, 1944 Shirley was married to Leonard, born December 28, 1924 to William Henry Diercksen and Martha Alice Marie Welsh.  Leonard was the Assistant Manager at the Stan­dard Station in Winslow.  Soon they were sent to Tempe, Ariz. to work.  Shirley spent a lot of the first year of marriage visiting her folks.  She spent her first wedding anniversary in the maternity home.  Her first child, a girl, was born September 27, 1945 and named Barbara Alice.  They moved to Mesa just before the baby came and lived in three different apartments before they bought a home in Mesa,
While Barbara was still a baby, Shirley started teaching the Seagull Girls in Primary.  Then she was asked to be second
.142
counselor in Primary.  For three years she taught in Sunday School.  On April 9, 1948 her second girl, Lenna June was born.  They had just moved into their own home,
Leonard got to be manager of a training school station in Phoenix, but drove back and forth to work.  Soon after this, Leonard transferred over the Standard Oil Co. of California.  It was a long drive to work and so the Diercksens decided to move to Phoenix.
On January 25, 1954 the Diercksens had their third child, another girl named Sherril Lynn.  Right after this, Shirley started working in the Primary in the Glendale Ward.  Later she worked in the Relief Society and was Primary president.
On August 24, 1959 the Diercksens finally had their boy, Lawrence William, and of course he is their pride and joy.
In January, 1960 Leonard was sent to San Francisco for a special training course.  In October, 1960 he was again promoted from a Sales Representative to a Retail Representa­tive and holds this job now.  He is in charge of 35 Chevron and Standard Stations.

In 1939 my parents moved to a ranch about five miles from Winslow.  When I was twelve I began working at the Central
143
Drugstore.  I was supposed to be the dishwasher, but after
one day, they let me be a soda jerk.  I continued to work at the drugstore until I was sixteen, when I was made fountain manager, and I worked here until I graduated from high school,
Our family moved to town after about three years on the ranch.  We lived in Mahoney Addition and all the kids formed a football team  I was the only girl allowed to play.  We played kids from other districts and our team always won.
I graduated from high school in May, 1946 and began working at the Five and Dime store until my birthday in Dec. Then I went to work for the Mountain States Telephone Company for two years.

Kenneth Turley Tanner
I, Kenneth Turley Tanner was born the 15th day of Decem­ber, 1930 in Joseph City, Arizona.  I was the seventh child and second son of Arthur and Roberta Turley Tanner.
While living in Joseph City, my parents ran a dairy.  I had a few little jobs to do, one of which was to bring in wood and chips for the cookstove.  (The only source of heat at this time.)  Uncle Barr Turley gave my brother, Marlin, a horse. He couldn't ride him, but I could, so my brother wanted to trade me his horse for my little wagon.  We made the trade, and the next Christmas, Marlin gave me my wagon, painted red. We called the horse Rex.  He was a real pet to me.  I could come up to him, get on him and ride him without a saddle or bridle.  Rex got a bad sore and had to be shot.
I was ordained a Deacon on March 7, 1943 by my father. I attended the Winslow schools from the third grade until I graduated on May 27, 1949.  I worked for H. V. Overson for about a year.  I also worked for John Thompson on his ranch for a while.  I was working on the railroad here when I had to stop because I needed an operation.  Then I went to work for Belton Palmer at a Whiting Bros, station.  I worked there until I got married.
I met Norma Lee Thomas at a Church dance.  We went to­gether for a short time.  We were married December 8, 1950 in the home of Norma's parents in Globe, Arizona, by Bishop Heber J. Pace.  We came back to Winslow after Christmas and made our home. On June 5, 1951 Norma and I were married in the Arizona Temple at Mesa by Harry L. Payne, Temple President.
I went to work dri­ving the ice truck for the city.  On Dec. 10, 1951 our first child was born.  We named him Charles Fredrick.  I went to work for the Winslow Public Schools where I am still employed as Janitor and Bus Driver.  Our second child was born July 32, 1953 and we named her Pauline.  Our third child was born Feb. 5, 1956 and we named her Danell.

Janice Tanner Chancellor
Janice Tanner, eighth child of Arthur and Roberta Tur1ey Tanner, was born September 26, 1937 at Joseph City.Arizona. She came on a Sunday night, right after Church.  Her dad was working in Flagstaff and had left only a few hours before she came.  Kenneth, her brother, only seven at the time, had to go for help.  The family was glad for a new baby.  They took over the housework and got along fine.  Her oldest sis­ter, Genevieve, was on a mission in Texas at the time.
Janice liked everyone she saw.  One time when a tramp came by and asked for something to eat, he was told to sit down outside and food would be brought to him.  When the food was served they found Jan sitting on the man's lap and talking away.
Janice moved with her family from Joseph City to a ranch at Winslow in May 1939 when she was two years old.
Janice wasn't afraid of anything.  She would wade out in the pond with the water coming up as high as her neck, when but a small child.  She also liked to play with the calves, pigs, and chickens.  Her folks sold milk at the ranch. The people who came after it were always bringing gifts to Janice.  At one time she had 25 dolls and 10 stuffed animals. She always could make friends easily, and she talked to every­one she saw as well as all the time.
Jan was very good in spelling so entered every year in the spelling contests, and twice was chosen to go to Holbrook to compete in the Navajo County spelling contests.  Jan was always writing poems, and has written some very good ones.
Jan graduated from Winslow" High School as Salutatorian. She had taken a very active part in school activities.  She received several awards and was also active in the Church. She received the Honor Bee Award, the Mia Joy Award, and the Silver Gleaner Award.  She taught in Sunday School and was always being called on for a talk of some kind.
In college she was the only girl in the class of 100
boys, and before the year was half over, she was helping a
146
good share of them with their lessons. She was elected to the Senate at ASU. She graduated from ASU in May, 1961 with a degree in mathematics.
Janice was mar­ried to Ivan Dale Wallen April 10, 1960 in Winterhaven, Cal. Jan and Ivan lived in Phoenix two months, then moved to Denver where Ivan became District Manager for the Union Bankers Ins. Co. and Jan was em­ployed as an engineer. After a few years of

Harvey I. Turley
I, Harvey I. Turley, made my entrance into mortality on March 10"; 1905 in the home of THEODORE WILFORD and MARY AGNES FLAKE TURLEY.  In line of birth in the family I am number nine and different than the other eight in that I brought along my twin, Harry William Turley.  This made a problem as there had to be double everything for us.  But we fared well as the older brothers and sisters were very kind to us.
My dad and -mother moved out in the country and homestead-ed 160 acres which became a blessing for the whole family, as we learned to work hard, and I think also, to learn of the value of money and the importance of a healthy body.
Of course, we had to move into Snowflake for winter so those attending school could receive learning.  I went through the third grade there and then a school was started at the ranch as there were other families around at that time.  There were ten of us at Joppa as it was called then, and later changed to Aripine.  My father raised cattle, so I was a cow­boy.  We held Sunday School at different ranches within a four mile radius.
I moved to Snowflake to attend high school.  This ex­perience will always be remembered.  With the activities of athletics, drama, and the social experiences of many things I
147
grew to appreciate life more all the time.  In high school the athletics consisted of baseball, basketball, volleyball and track.  I was a sub. on the basketball team in my second year of school and on the main team for the next two years. We had an exceptionally good team as we beat all the schools and won the Northern Arizona Championship easily beating teams at the tournament at Flagstaff with scores of 65 to 3 and 74 to 4 and the others easily.
I graduated from the Snowflake Academy in 1924 (that was the last class to graduate from the Church school).  Then I received a call to go on a mission that fall.  I went to Salt Lake City in October and was assigned to the Central States Mission under the leadership of Samuel Oliver Bennion, a wonderful man.  I was called to many positions of trust in the mission field.  I was Branch President in Coffeyville, Kansas.  During my serving as missionary in Coffeyville, we baptized twenty-five people into the church.  These people have been wonderful friends ever since.  I was called by the mission president to go to Northern Kansas to assist bringing about unity in a branch at Wathena.  Here I had some very wonderful experiences.  Was called in to administer to a baby with pneu­monia.  We were staying three miles from this family's house at another family of members when at three o'clock in the morning the father to the baby came to get us to come and ad­minister to the infant.  The parents of the baby were not members, but the Grandmother was.  And she was a very wonder­ful woman (like the widow the Savior told of as giving her all in the widow's mite).  Well, when we arrived the grand­mother met us at the door and said, "Elders, you're to late." It seemed that the baby had died.  But the Holy Spirit prompted me to administer.  We all knelt in prayer.  My companion (who was a high priest and had been a bishop) still felt it was of no use.  I still was prompted to administer to the little one.  Within an hour after the prayer, the lit­tle one was awake and playing, as though he had never been ill.  What joy for all.
At the conclusion of my mission, I married. a lady mis­sionary who had served in the same mission.  Our marriage date was July 20, 1927.  Her name is Melba Oretta Thornley. We had three children come to bless our home and I am so proud of them.  They are all happily married and have pres­ented ;me with eighteen wonderful grandchildren who bring joy to my life.
Melba and I were called to go to Argentina where I filled building mission, and where in September of 1964 my sweet companion was taken by death in an auto accident.
I am now married to Dorothy Trimb1e who is very thought­ful and kind to me and all my children and grandchildren.  I am still very active and keep busy with church'activities and gardening and building.
Children:

Theodore Seth Turley
I was born November 19, 1928 in Smithfield, Utah.  My parents are Harvey Isaac Turley and Melba Oretta Thornley. I was raised in Snowflake, Arizona and went to school there until the winter of 1944 and 1945. My parents moved to Iowa at that time and I graduated from Stockport, Iowa High School in 1946.  Then in 1947 I went into the service.  I served in the Army until October of 1948, and then was discharged. After that I married Ruby Violet Dodds.  We were married from 1948 until 1952.  There were no children of this marriage.
I married Jewel G. Harrison (Taylor) on August 9, 1958. She had two boys from a former marriage.  They are William Reed and Dale Eugene.  Since then they have legally changed their name to Turley.
William Reed was born July 8, 1953 and Dale Eugene was born August 9, 1954.  We have three children:  Tamra Jean born Sept. 24, 1960; Anthony Isaac born Jan. 25, 1962; and little Theodore Steven born April 8, 1964, the day after my dad and mom went on their mission to Argentina.  Mom never got to see him.
We were married in the Arizona Temple on December 13, 1973 and have the three younger children sealed to us.  We hope some day to have the other two get ready and go be sealed to us also.

Don Louis Turley
I was born March 31, 1931 in my grandfather's (THEODORE WILFORD TURLEY) home in Snowflake, Arizona. My parents were Harvey Isaac Turley and Melba Oretta Thornley.
I received my early church and school training in Snow-flake.  When I was in the eighth grade, Jan. 1945, we moved to a farm in Iowa.  I finished the eighth grade in a one room country school.  I attended school in Bonaparte, Iowa where I played all four years on the basketball and baseball teams.  I had leading parts in two of the class plays and was a class officer and worked on the school paper and annual. I was chosen to represent the school at the Iowa Boys State in 1948.  I attended Iowa State College one semester then came back to Arizona with my parents in July 1950.
When we first went to Iowa there wasn't any branch of the church for us to go to so we drove about 60 miles to the Carthage Jail to Sunday School.  We also held services in Nauvoo near the grave site of the Prophet Joseph Smith. After a few years other families moved from Snowflake and we organized a branch at Bonaparte.  I was in the Supt. of the Sunday School and MIA.
In February 1951 I left for the New England Mission where I served under Presidents S. Dilworth Young and J. Howard
149
Maughan.  I labored mostly in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, and Vermont.  I was Branch President in New Bedford, Mass, and district president in New Hampshire over the members and the missionaries.  I was released in March, 1953.
I was called into the Army in August 1953.  I spent five months in Ft. Ord, Calif.; one month in Chicago; one month in Atterberry, Ind.  and 16 months in Ft. Carson, Colorado. While in Colorado I served on a District mission and was in the branch presidency of the Ft. Carson Branch in which there were over six hundred male members and no females.  I was released from the army and church jobs in June 1955.
I enrolled at Arizona State College in Tempe in Sept., 1955.  While at ASC I was president of the Melchlzedek Priesthood group, chairman of the Genealogy Committee and taught a Sunday School class.  I was a member of the Delta Phi Fraternity and was chosen a member of the '59 club.  In May 1959 I received a B.S. degree in Agronomy at ASU.
I married Martha Ann Bartson of Phoenix.  We are buying a little place on 713 S. Center St. in Mesa.  I am first counselor in the Sunday School Superintendency, chairman of the Ward Genealogy Committee and a ward teacher. My wife is ward organist, sports director in the YWMIA, and types names two nights a week at the Temple.  I am employed by the U. of A. Dept. of Entomology, Tucson.  I do research with insect­icides on vegetable and citrus crops at the Mesa Experimental Farm.

Venda Alice Turley Wilkins
I, Venda Alice Turley Wilkins, arrived in this world in the town of Snowflake, Arizona on December 13, 1932.  My father, Harvey I. Turley, had to walk five blocks in knee high snow to get the doctor to come and assist my mother, Melba Oretta Thornley, with my arrival.  My early life was spent in Snowflake where I enjoyed school, primary, and church. Mother was kept busy with Relief Society work—many happy memories.
We moved to Iowa the winter of 1944-45 and I finished grade and high school there.  I enjoyed girl's basketball and was honored to be listed as one of the state's out­standing guards my Senior year.  Those were happy days.
We moved back to Snowflake after I graduated and I attended one year at ASU in Tempe.  I then worked in Holbrook at the Telephone Co. until I married Lafe Anthony Fulton on Sept. 2, 1955.  He worked for the railroad, but a year later, he was killed in a car crash near Globe, Ariz.  Soon after his death, I had a patriarchal blessing and was advised to go on a mission.  My call was to the Great Lakes Mission. While I was in the mission home, I met an Elder Val A. Sanders and after our missions were over, we were married.  Our busi­ness was in photography and we had a studio called Val's Fine

Portraitures.  We adopted three fine children:  Val A. San- . ders, Jr., born Feb. 21, 1961; then Valenda Sue, born July 4, 1963; and Vaghn Wayne born Sept. 13, 1964.  After eight and a half years of marriage I gave birth to Vance Harvey Lee.  A year later we lost our dear little Valenda Sue in an accident at a drive in theatre.  Three months later we were blessed with the arrival of our son Vern Turley Sanders. Ten months later my husband was killed in a helicopter ac­cident in Texas.  That was on June 19, 1970, Many lonely, hard days followed.
A year later, on June 3, 1971 I married my third com­panion named James Daniel Wilkins whom I met through some dear friends of Val's and mine.  Jim was the father of three children:  Jerald Daniel, James Dennis, and Vickie Ilene. So with my four sons we had quite a house full.  But not quite full enough, because a year later we were blessed with an adorable daughter born on April 19, 1972.  So now my life is kept busy with children, school affairs and church activ­ities.  I am grateful to my parents for their love and teach­ings to me and the unity we enjoy as a family, and proud of my heritage and so grateful to my Heavenly Father for sending me to the Turley family.

Harry William Turley
Harry, born on March 10, 1905 with his twin Harvey
married Harriet Gardner and then his second wife, Jacquetta Johnson, on August 18, 1933.  They had one son, Gordon Harry Turley, born March 17, 1934 in Holbrook, Arizona.  Harry died on February 28, 1944 at Nogales, Ariz­ona and was buried in Snowflake.



WILLIAM HENRY TURLEY, son of ISAAC TURLEY and SARAH GREENWOOD TURLEY, was born in 1865 and married MARY SKOUSEN in 1887.MARY was born May 2, 1870 in Draper, Utah to James Niels and Cecil Marie Pedersen Skousen.  She died Jan. 14, 1953 in South Gate, California and was buried in Mesa, Ariz.
The following is a biographical sketch of WILLIAM HEN­RY TURLEY written by his daughter, Delia, with help of her mother, MARY SKOUSEN:
WILLIAM HENRY TUR­LEY was born December 14 1865 at Beaver City, U-tah.  He was blessed in January, 1866 by John Murdock at Beaver City, Utah and baptized June 6, 1877 by Henry Roger? Beaver Ward, and was confirmed by Dudley Mer-rels, Beaver Ward.  He was ordained an Elder September 27, 1879 by Frank Farnsworth.
My father grew up when the west was a wild country.  Indians were a problem and so were the thieves and other God­less men.  However, father grew up to be a strong, healthy Latter-Day Saint, who was hon­est and truthful with his fellow men as well as loyal and faithful in attending to his Church      William and Mary 4.
152
duties.  The people who associated with him were constantly working to get him to join them in smoking, drinking, and riotous living.  He always refused them, however, and because of his high standards, he was always trusted and respected.
My father loved his parents dearly and patterned his
life after them.  There were no girls born to this family, so WILLIAM often assisted his mother in her house work. His father depended on him to look after the stock.  He rode the range and was in complete charge of his father's cattle.  This was a very dangerous job as there were many cattle rustlers and warlike Indians, but he was never afraid of them.
He did a lot of hauling of lumber out of the mountains. One trip he was late in returning home.  He had a feeling he should not leave 'till later.  When he did get part way home he saw smoke.  He stopped his team and crawled up the ridge and there he saw a house burning and Indians who had killed all the family living in the burning home.  He felt his life had been spared.  Apostle Erastus Snow told my father if he would never carry a gun, he would never need one.
My father met my mother in Colonia Juarez, Mexico and they were married July 31, 1887.  They later went to the St. George Temple and were sealed October 23, 1887.  My brother, Marion, was born August 15, 1888 and I was born 3 1/2 years later, January 24, 1892.
During the spring of 1896 my father worked some for Uncle Ernest Taylor.  One day while irrigating a field of alfalfa, he became ill.  It was later diagnosed as pneumonia. He died the 9th of May, 1896.
Children of WILLIAM HENRY and MARY SKOUSEN TURLEY:

Marion William Turley         f
Marion William Turley was born August 15,-1888.  This blessed event occurred in Colonia Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico. This was a very special day for this couple as it turned out to be the birth of their only son.  They were later     blessed with another baby, however, a little girl who was named Delia.
The first seven years of Marion's life were typical for a Mormon boy living in this locale during this period of time. This can be said because he enjoyed the companionship of his father and mother and did the normal, expected things that children ordinarily do.  The untimely death of his father at the age of thirty-one, however, changed all that.
When WILLIAM HENRY TURLEY died, Marion was seven years
153
old.  The next tender years in this man's life were spent learning the lessons of life in the school of hard knocks. He learned to support his mother and sister.  He learned to stand on his own two feet and rely on his own decisions.  He learned to pray and to stand up for righteous principles. He learned to work and save and be self-reliant, and yet stay generous, humble, clean, and loyal to his mother and sister.
Because Marion had a keen business mind and the desire to succeed, many of the aforementioned lessons of life were well learned.  For example, May 5 (Cinco de Mayo) is an important Mexican Holiday.  Marion went to town to celebrate. Some of the things Marion wanted to see and do cost money, but he was broke.  So he used his head He went to the store and used his good credit to charge one dollar's worth of su­gar.  His mother made it into taffy candy and together they put it into sacks.  He sold it at the park for a total of twelve dollars.  He paid the store for the sugar, gave his mother nine dollars, and had two dollars to celebrate on.
When Marion worked he worked, and when he played he played just as seriously.  He was what is known today as a natural athlete.  He was big and strong and loved the out­doors and sports.  He could throw hard with amazing accuracy. This, of course, made him a valuable baseball player.  He could throw "in curves", "out curves", "drops" and "the whisker burn" as he smilingly labels it.  "The whisker burn" simply means he could throw the ball at a high rate of speed and with such accuracy that the batter, fearing the ball was going to hit him, would strike at it in an effort to get out of the way. When he and his cousin, Lorin Taylor, went hunting rabbits, Lorin used a rifle and Marion threw rocks. Marion could bring in the most game.  Volleyball, basketball, and fishing have also been enjoyed.
As Marion reached manhood he found himself qualified in many areas'!  He had valuable experiences riding the range in Mexico for Dan Skousen and Ernest Taylor; he worked on farms and ranches around Eagar and Alpine, Arizona for Bert Colter and Aunt DeWitt; he worked on road gangs and railroads with Willard Skousen; he studied agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry at the BYU; he worked as part of a survey crew near Parowan, Utah.  Later he went to Canada with Willard Skousen to work on a farm and care for his work horses.
Marion's mother and sister followed him from job to job. They often cooked for the men and cared for Marion, showing their love and concern for him.  While working in Canada for a wheat farmer named Harris", Marion bought a hotel and eating place for his mother and Delia to run.  He didn't tell them that he owned the place, but let them make the payments just as they would rent.  Imagine the pleasant surprise to learn they actually had a sizable investment when they de­cided to move on.
Lola Oilerton was a lovely girl whom Marion met in Parowan, Utah.Marion had moved to Mesa after spending two
154
years in Canada.• His letter of Proposal was accepted and they were married in the Salt Lake Temple, October 8, 1913.  To­gether Marion and Lola built up a fine business in dairying and farming.
Marion was active in scouting during these happy years. He and Lola" were not blessed with natural children.  However, they adopted little Ned Leroy, but this child died suddenly after being in their home only two years. The boy scouts have been very important in filling in the void felt by this disappointment.  Marion talks often about those thirty-six boys so close to his heart.
Marion has served in the following important positions in the church.

1.He was one of the Seven Presidents of Seventies.
2.He was Bishop of the Tempe Ward from February 19, 1928 to January 14, 1940.
3. He was on the High Council of the Maricopa Stake from    January 21, 1940 to March 13, 1945.
4. He served in the Maricopa Stake Presidency from 1945 to 1948.
5. He served again on the Maricopa Stake High Council.
When Marion was made Bishop of the Tempe Ward many of the people were not friendly to the Mormons, so he had trouble getting a place to build the church.  One day Marion was walking on Main) Street when a man started calling him ter­rible names.  Marion let him have it on the jaw, knocking him down.  The policeman came and arrested them for fighting. He took them around the corner upstairs to the Judge's office. The judge fined Marion ten dollars.  Marion said,  Is that all it costs to whip that man?"  The Judge said, "Yes." Marion handed the judge the ten dollars and said, "Here is another ten dollars because I am going to do it again." The fellow jumped up and started running out the door and down the stairs, and had just reached the bottom step and sidewalk as Marion's toe caught him in the seat of his pants.  This sent him sprawling into the gutter on his face and hands. The judge, thoroughly entertained by this extemporaneous outburst, called Marion back into his chambers and returned his money.
After fifty years of married life Lola died.  This was a great shock and great loss for Marion"His life was empty and difficult.  So, when he met Fern '"Turley Faucett, they found interests in common and were married September 9, 1963.  They have been very happy, spending their winters in Mesa and summers in their cabin in the White Mountains.

Delia Turley Shook
Delia was born January 24, 1892 in Colonia Juarez, Mex­ico. At the time of the Exodus from Mexico due to the con­flict going on throughout Mexico, her parents settled in California with their children.  It was here she met and married Ralph Edwin Shook.  Their marriage was not a happy
155
one and ended up in a divorce.
Delia spent practically all of her spare time doing research on the Turley and related lines, sending in hundreds of names for Temple work.
After her brother Marion's wife had passed away, she moved to Mesa to help care for him as he was in poor health.  Delia passed away May 31, 1966"!  The Turley family can be grateful to her for her dedication to research and Temple work for our ancestors.

Alma  Reuben Turley
ALMA REUBEN TURLEY was born December 29, 1869 in Beaver, Utah to ISAAC and SARAH GREENWOOD TURLEY. His ancestry has been traced back to Birmingham, England.  He was the fifth child in a family of twelve children, eleven boys and one girl,
His family resided in Beaver, Utah until he was seven
years of age and then moved to Salt River at Lehi, Arizona
in answer to a missionary call, as did so many of the Arizona
pioneers.  They moved to the Salt River Valley with the Dan­-
iel Jones Company and arrived at Lehi on March 6, 1877.  The
family lived in a tent and his mother, an extremely large
woman, suffered from the intense heat in the Lehi Valley, so
ALMA's father got permission to move his family to Northern
Arizona where the climate was cooler.  In his life story ALMA
states, "My father then moved my mother and family in the
spring of 1878 to St. Joseph (now Joseph City) near the Little
Colorado River.  We there lived the United Order.  We stayed
there about one year, when my father moved his two families
to Snowflake.”
It was while they lived in Joseph City that ALMA was baptized on April 3, 1879 by Joseph Richards and confirmed the same day by his father, ISAAC TURLEY.
His schooling began in Snowflake, Arizona. ALMA states,
"I never had the privilege of attending school but very lit­-
tle, for I had to spend my time on the farm herding cattle
and horses, and my parents were on the move so much, pioneer­
ing new settlements."
He also states, "In the spring of 1885, my father, my mother and family moved to Old Mexico because of the perse­cution that was made against polygamy." Colonization seemed so desirable in that country. ALMA stayed in Snowflake until his father could return for them.  They had a hard time moving to Mexico.  ALMA goes on to say, "In the winter of 1886 father returned to our former home in Snowflake, taking me along to drive our cattle and horses to Old Mexico.  It was a very hard trip moving them in the wintertime. When within
157
a few days drive from our home, we received word that my mother had died with a hemorrhage.  I was left with a hired man to continue the rest of the way, driving the stock. Father hastened on but got home only in time to meet the Saints returning from her burial in the new cemetery.  The following fall of 1887 I returned to my old home, in company with father Ralph Ramsay and family.  I lived with my broth­er THEODORE and family that winter and worked for Charles L. Flake that spring and summer, tending his farm for awhile. In the fall I worked for William W. Willis." It was here that he met his future wife, DELILAH JANE WILLIS, daughter of William Wesley Willis and Gabrilla Stratton Willis.
ALMA writes:  "In November (?), 1888, in company with William R. Willis of Taylor and Hans Yorgensen, with their wives, I started to Utah with DELILAH JANE WILLIS to be married in the St. George Temple, traveling by team and wagon, taking sixteen days.  I had some difficulty in getting a li­cense because I was not twenty-one years old and no parents or guardian to give their consent, for the Government had enacted some very strict laws for marrying in the Temple be­cause of polygamy.  But through the work of a good County Attorney making out papers that I had no parents or guardian in the United States, we were only detained one day.  DELILAH JANE WILLIS and I were married November 3, 1888 in the St. George Temple by J. D. McAllister. We made the round trip in
five weeks."

He goes on to say:  "In 1890 I bought a city lot, built a two-room house on it, also a good barn and corral.  We lived there for ten years.  I then bought a home and farm in Woodruff, Arizona where I moved my family, my wife and five children, having lost one child, a little blue-eyed girl three years old.  While we lived in Snowflake, I made our living by freighting for the Government from Holbrook to Fort Apache; I also did some farming.  After moving to Woodruff, we had a great deal of trouble by having the dams go out on the Little Colorado River, through floods, which caused a great deal of hard labor and hardships and many privations for the necessities of life."
Their move to Woodruff in 1900 took them into a life of hardship, trying to get a living from the soil without any assurance that water would be available.  Many years passed before DELILAH became reconciled to living in Wood­ruff.  She longed to live in Snowflake with her people. Thirteen healthy children were born to ALMA and DELILAH TURLEY--six sons and seven daughters.  DELILAH was always active in the Church.
ALMA was an excellent farmer and provided well for his family.  He loved good stock, cattle and horses particularly. Besides freighting and farming, he also did some road con­tracting.  A man of shy and retiring nature, ALMA found it difficult to take part in Church and social affairs.  In spite of this, he was honest in his dealings, loved the gospel, and taught his children to be honorable men and women.
One of his daughters writes about her father, ALMA:  "My
158
father had faith in God and lived ac­cording to the principles of the Gospel. As I remember, he read daily the scriptures, the only reading I remember him doing.  He was a tithe payer, attended his meetings.  He kept the Sab­bath Day and we always had family prayers and blessing on the food." She also states: "There was nev­er any vulgarity or profanity in our home.  He was a good pro­vider for his family.  I re­member him rock­ing and singing to his babies in the evening.  He didn't sing a variety of songs— the one I re­member him sing­ing was 'Down by the River's Ver­dant Side.'  He was never raggy or dirty, and he was regular with his bathing, and mother
always kept all of our clothes in good repair.











He was a parent who had his children work along with him.  His animals were always well cared for, and his garden and fields free
of weeds."
His daughter also writes:  "A man in town was always having black hay to haul and put in his barn because it got wet with rain.  This man said, 'If you want green hay to put in your barn, watch AL TURLEY when he cuts his hay, he never has black hay.'  I never remember tromping black hay.  Father would get up two o'clock in the morning after he had cut the hay the day before and rake it up in piles.  Then the next morning he would get up at the same time while the dew was
159
on the hay and cock it ready for hauling.  If a threatening storm caused him to haul the hay before it was dry enough for storing, he would sprinkle salt on it in the barn."
ALMA writes in his life story:  "The first fall after getting a dam in that was secure, my son Charles H. was called on a mission to the Southern States. We were thankful for him to get this call and always felt like we were greatly blessed in keeping him in the mission field.  On September 27, 1924 another son was called to take a mission to Nevada in the California Mission.  Tillman Willis was the second one to go."
He continues to write:  "I have always been of a very quiet, reserved disposition, not caring to take part in public affairs.  I spent the winter of 1935-36 in Mesa doing work for my dead kindred, doing endowment work for one hun­dred fifty male names.  I also did some sealings.  My health beginning to fail in 1932, caused from taking a heavy cold settling in my lungs."
His daughter, Josephine, writes about her father:  "In my memory I see ALMA, my father, going through the shocks of corn taking the ears of corn off the stalks and shelling the corn into the nose bags of the horses for their eating. He was a wonderful parcher of corn for our own eating.  He parched it in a frying pan on the fireplace coals."
ALMA records:  "I was ordained a Deacon in December 1884 by John Kartchner, ordained an Elder October 19, 1888 by Bishop John Hunt, set apart as ward teacher in the Snowflake Ward, Snowflake Stake, 1899." Some of the other accomplish­ments throughout his life were:  he was set apart as Second Counselor to Ezra Hatch in the Elder's Quorum in the Snowflake Stake by Jesse N, Smith, March 24, 1900; he was district school trustee in Woodruff for three years; he also acted as one of the members on the Board of the Woodruff Irrigation Company.  He helped to build and construct six dams in the Little Colorado River, also a canal four miles down the river from the last dam built in Silver Creek, above where the two rivers join together.
ALMA REUBEN TURLEY died in Woodruff, Arizona on March 15, 1938 from pneumonia, leaving a wife, nine children four boys and five girls, all married, with families.  He had at that time fifty-seven grandchildren and five great grand­children.  His posterity has grown a great deal since then.
Tillman tells this about his father:  "While father was on the Woodruff Irrigation Board, the company had to borrow money from the Merchants and Stockgrowers Bank in Holbrook. The men all signed the papers except father.  He did not want to go into debt.  When the President of the bank did not find father's name on it, he said, 'I will not make a loan without AL TURLEY's name on it.'  President Samuel Smith of the Snow-flake Stake, with others, came to talk with father.  When President Smith asked him to sign, he did.  It was said at his funeral, 'AL TURLEY was an honest man.'  I never did hear him tell a smutty story in my 35 years around him."

Alma R. Turley and Delilah Jane Willis Turley
The following is a life sketch of DELILAH JANE WILLIS TURLEY written by Delilah Willis Turley:
I was born January 28, 1871 in Virgin City, Utah (some­times called "Pocketville" because of the surrounding coun­try.)  My parents were William Wesley Willis and Gabrilla Stratton.
In the fall of 1877 my parents went to the St. George Temple to receive their endowments and to have their five children sealed to them.  Two of these children had died in infancy.  My parents were blessed with fourteen children. Soon after, my parents, some of my mother's people, the George Gardner family and others left for Arizona.  This journey was begun in January, and the weather was most cold and disagreeable.  When we arrived at Brigham City it was decided to leave the family here for the remainder of the  winter.  The people here were living the United Order.  My father did not remain here for very long.  He and his brother, John Henry Willis, continued to drive their cattle on to the Tonto Basin.
A short time after we were in Brigham City a family moved in with a child who had died with diphtheria. My two little brothers were exposed to the disease and died within two weeks.  I did not take the disease but several children in the neighborhood died with it.  Mother was left to bury her two little boys alone as it was impossible to get word to father who had gone on to the Tonto Basin.  This left mother with one child out of her five.  In the Spring, father returned and moved his family to the Tonto Basin.  We lived here du­ring the summer.  The men had to go to Camp Verde for all our groceries and supplies.  Father had quite a lot of flour stored in the mud and log hut we were living in.
161
One morning when father awoke he saw a large blue racer snake hanging down from the pole rafters over my bed.  He jumped and yelled which caused the racer to draw itself up and get away. We were most frightened at the time.  There were so many blue racers and rattlesnakes here.  It was most beautiful here in the summer.  The Tonto Creek ran so clear and there were many fish to be seen swimming in the clear pools.
The fall of 1878 we moved back to Brigham City.  I re­member going up to the Mormon Dairy, which was south of the railroad town of Flagstaff; however, there was no railroad here at the time. Most all transportation was done by ox team.
When we got to Brigham City my father went on into Utah were he got work at a place called Seeman's Sawmill. My mother and I followed him a short time after.  We lived in Johnson, Utah most of the time for a year, when father de­cided to return to Arizona.  We arrived in the fall of 1879. While on the way after crossing the Colorado River by way of Lee's Ferry and about a day s drive out, we overtook Wil­liam J. Flake and his wife, Lucy, with some men driving the herd of cattle from Beaver City to pay for the Snowflake Valley Brother Flake had purchased from Mr. Stinson. We were most happy to join with these friends.
My parents got out of the wagon to walk along with these good people and to visit. Mother had my baby sister, Mary in her arms and I was left in the wagon. Walking along visiting and paying little attention to the road or wagons, a wheel or the wagon in which I was riding hit a deep rut and turned the wagon completely upside down, the wheels spinning around in the air.  My parents were very much frightened.  Mother was jumping up and down, crying, thinking I was killed, but when the wagon was righted I crawled out without a scratch or hurt of any kind.  This seemed a miracle because I was sitting between two large chests, one a tool chest, the other a clothes chest.
We traveled the remainder of the way with the Flake family, also a Brother and Sister Paul Smith. We settled in the town of Snowflake.  I attended the district school. The Academy commenced the fall of 1888.
I was married November. 3, 1888 to ALMA RUBEN TURLEY. We traveled by team to the St. George Temple.  This made five times I went over Lee's Backbone and crossed the Big Colorado River by ferry boat. At this time the Church was under a heavy ban for marrying couples. We were both under age so could not obtain a marriage license. My husband's mother was dead and his father was living in Old Mexico. We had to go through quite a routine to get papers made out be­fore we could be married. We thought for a time we would have to go back across the line into Arizona to have a civil ceremony performed. We were sixteen days on our way to the Temple. We traveled in company with two other young couples, who also were going to be married.
162
My husband bought us a house in Snowflake where we lived until the year 1900.  Five of our children were born there.  We then moved to the little town of Woodruff.  Here we had a hard struggle to keep up the financial part as we depended on our farm for a living.  The people were constant­ly harassed with dams going out in the Little Colorado River.
I have nine living children out of a family of thir­teen. We tried to give our children a high school education. We would have to send them to Snowflake to school.  The last four children graduated from the Academy and high school in Snowflake.  All have their companions and own their own homes. We have had two sons go on missions as well as a short term mission.  One daughter completed a two year college course and is teaching school.  We have sixty-three grandchildren (now a total of 75--1959), and eleven great grandchildren,
I am very proud and thankful for my family.  There is not one crippled or deformed one and all have their normal facul­ties.
I commenced working in the Relief Society when just a girl, tending babies, running errands, etc.  At one time a president of the Relief Society told me some day I would be­come a president of the Relief Society.  This was true as I was a president for seven years and was a counselor for five years before being made president.  I have enjoyed working in the Sunday School.  I have been teacher of different classes since soon after I was married.  I have also had the privilege of working in the YWMIA.
I am well and spending my winters working in the Arizona Temple.  This is a great joy to me as my patriarchal bles­sing told me I should spend the latter part of my life working in the House of the Lord.  My husband passed away on March 15, 1938. We were able to spend one winter together working in the Temple before he was called away.
I enjoy my life, my family and friends, and above all, my membership in the Church.
DELILAH JANE WILLIS TURLEY died September 26, 1946 at her little home in Woodruff.  She was found dead in her bed by her grandchildren, Clinton and Erlene Kartchner, when they went to take her some freshly churned butter for her break­fast.  She had been to visit her two daughters and two sons and her friends, Brother and Sister Q. R. Gardner, the day before.  She had attended a show that night.  She had suf­fered some with heart trouble, but none of us realized the ' seriousness of it, and mother never complained or let any one know how she felt, other than "All right." She was buried in the Woodruff Cemetery along the side of her husband.

Rhoda Turley Brinkerhoff
Rhoda Turley. daughter of ALMA RUBEN and DELILAH WILLIS TURLEY, was born December 20, 1893 in Snowflake, Arizona.
We lived in Snowflake until 1900, then moved north to Woodruff, Arizona. My father bought a farm here.  I was the third child in a family of thirteen.  Eight of this fine family are still living (1976). My parents taught, by pre­cept and example, the truths of the Gospel and instilled within
172
their children the desire to have their lives conform to its teachings.
My schooling started in Snowflake shortly before we moved.  I graduated from the eighth grade twice, since Woodruff had no high school.  I attended high school just six months.  My folks could not afford to send me away to high school,  I was baptized May 4, 1902 by Bishop Levi M. Savage in the Little Colorado River at Woodruff.  I started working in the Church at 14 years of age.  Sister Mary 0. Gardner asked for me to help her in a Sunday School class. I loved this Sister and the children.
At 14, Levi Brinkerhoff came into my life and we went together off and on to the 2nd of June, 1914, when we were married by Bishop Levi M. Savage in the old schoolhouse used for community gatherings.  My sister Josephine was married at the same time to Adelbert Hatch” Later we were endowed and sealed in the Salt Lake Temple June 17, 1914. This trip by train was a big event in our lives.
We then lived in Woodruff in a three-room house.  Our first baby, Lila, was born there.  By 1919 we had two little girls, Lila and Laverne.  We bought a ranch in Dry Lake or Zeniff and stayed a year here, then we sold and moved to Wood­ruff.  My husband went to Delta, Utah to work with his brother. His mother and sisters lived there.  Later, I went on the train with our two girls to join my husband.  In December we moved to Woodruff and lived in a little two-room house.  Here sev­en more children were born.  Dono Chester, our eldest son, was born Feb. 16, 1920.  We had seven girls and three boys,
In 1915 my husband and I were called to be presidents of the MIA.  I have been MIA president twice, Primary presi­dent once and had to refuse a second time because of health, I have been president of Relief Society twice.  I have taught different classes in Sunday School and Relief Society.  I have been and still am a visiting teacher.  My husband held many church and civic positions also.  He was a very good man.
After all our children were gone, we desired to do Temple work.  When my husband's health began to fail some­what we came to Mesa to work in the Temple during the win­ters . This was a great .blessing to us and we were set-apart Temple workers June 1, 1964 just before our Golden Wedding Anniversary.
My husbandLevi and Rhoda Brinkerhoff
died on Mothers Day,              July 1968

1969.  I have tried to carry on the best I could. My prayer is that my posterity will always follow the example we have tried to set for them. My philosophy of life could be summed up in "Help me to live for others that I may live for Thee."

When he was a babe in arms his parents moved to Wood­ruff, Ariz., a little farming community about 28 miles north of Snowflake. His childhood was spent in , Woodruff doing all the things little boys do as


they grow up: swimming, playing war with clay bullets, etc. After gradua­ting from the eighth grade, he went to Snowflake to high school.

Elaine, Sandra, George, and William were almost taken from this life from a fireplace that had gas logs in it, when the vent had been pulled shut and not opened when it had been lit.  Orson was in Kingman and if Elaine1s dad, Charles H. Turley. had not been inspired to stop to see how we were we would not be here today.  We're grateful to parents who listen to the still small voice and have taught us and been good examples, and we do love them for this.  May we do the same for our children.

Tillman Willis Turley
Tillman was born April 5, 1902 at Woodruff, Arizona to ALMA RUBEN and DELILAH JANE WILLIS TURLEY.
Things began to happen some months after this.  I was able to crawl around.  My sister made some molasses candy. She put it out to cool and didn't know that I was around.  I was the first to test it.  It burned my right hand and I have had crooked fingers and scars on my hands ever since.  They used suttail and lard to heal it. A few years later I was still looking for trouble.  The water was coming in the ditch, foam and trash with it.  Some of we little fellows were lying on the bridge playing in it.  I fell in and went under the bridge and got caught.  They ran and got Adalbert Hatch and he got me out. All I remember was I was in Mother's arms
187
being carried home, and she said to some men going home, "I nearly lost my son."
We were as a family poor in having luxuries of the world, but rich in home life and trained to work and make something of ourselves.  There was never any vulgar language or lack of respect for each other.  Father always was insistent that we give mother the best respect--no back talk.  I was raised in Woodruff and received my first schooling there.  Also had many things happen that were good for me.  Like getting feed for the cows, cutting alfalfa and grass along the ditch banks for the pigs to eat.  Hoeing fox tail out of the alfal­fa, plowing, getting up at midnight or later to turn the water on to some more land, walking a mile or more to do this. Driving a team of horses, staking them, and getting a load of wood.  Going with Father on the freight road to Fort Apache on the Apache reservation, going out and cutting wild hog in the fall and in the hills and putting it up.  This was the kind of school I had as a boy.
I went with my sister Leora to the Snowflake Stake Aca­demy for four winters.  She was a great lady and a sister to me.  In high school I was the vice-president of the student body.  I played basketball.  Our team took the Northern Ariz­ona tournament of 1923.  I was put on as the All-State guard. I received the efficiency medal that year.
The winter of 1923 and 1924 I was the Young Men's Mutual president in the Woodruff Ward.  I was ordained an Elder on June 6, 1924 and left for my mission to California.  I labored in the Nevada District, mostly in Winnemucca.  I baptized 38 members and nonmembers.  I was District President.  I returned home in November.  No work to get so I went and tried to trap some fur animals, but failed.  My brother Charles got me a job at Eagar, Arizona. I was driving mail from Eagar toward Holbrook unil I met the other truck.  We would trade and come back.  I did this for six days a week.  During this time I met the lady I was looking for—Harriet Leila Eagar.  We were married August 24, 1927 in the Salt Lake Temple by George F. Richards.  I drove mail and she worked in Becker Mercantile.
Our first child came April 4, 1928 in Eagar, Arizona.  We nearly lost her. We called her Anna Marie; another daughter came January 29, 1930 named Delila Rae.  I found and worked at odd jobs.  On May 6, 1928 Melvin J. Ballard ordained me a Seventy and promised me that I would go on a mission within five years.  In 1929 I was called on a stake mission in Neva­da and was branch president in Winnemucca for a few months and then put in as the District President of Nevada by Elder David 0. McKay in February.  I returned home in April, 1932.  In 1932 I was called to a stake mission in St. Johns Stake for two years.  I was ward Sunday School superintendent for the Eagar Ward.
In 1937 on October 28 we had a red-haired son come to our family, Tillman Eagar; another son was born June 6, 1941, Anton "J".  On July 22, 1946 we received our next son, Karl William, and in 1948 on November 29 another son brought sun­shine to our home, Arlan Rubin.
188
I was one of the Seven Presidents In the St. Johns Stake two times, was stake Sunday School superintendent, also worked on the stake Genealogy Committee. Worked out and kept up the ranch in New Mexico; also ran the farm in Eagar.  I peddled farm products from Eagar to McNary for nearly eighteen years. Went on another mission in 1950 to the Southern States, the gulf part of Mississippi; was branch president for a while. I was on the committee to put running water in Woodruff, Arizona homes.  Les Jackson and I put in the first system in Eagar Ward.  On January 30, 1970 Elder Boyd K. Packer ordained me a Patriarch in the LDS Church.  One of my most humbling callings.

Tillman Eagar Turley
Tillman married Linda Sue Tenney, daughter of Lewis Noble Tenney and Wanda Peterson on August 8, 1962.
I attended Eagar Elementary, Round Vally High School and Eastern Arizona Junior College at Thatcher.  I partici­pated in football and basketball and in 1957 helped the Eastern Arizona Gila Monsters capture second place at the national junior college basketball tournament at Hutchinson, Kansas.
I filled a mission in the Eastern States Mission from October, 1958 to October, 1960.  It was a beautiful learning experience.  I attended Brigham Young University, where I courted my wife.  I graduated from BYU in May of 1963 with a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education.
Our eldest son, Tillman Tenney, born May 26, 1963, was born the weekend before graduation, making a great gradua­tion gift from Linda.

Leora Turley Kartchner
Leora Turley, daughter of ALMA and DELILAH TURLEY, was born January 24, 1904 at Woodruff, Arizona, the eighth child in a family of thirteen children.  She married Nowlin Decatur Kartch­ner in the Arizona Temple May 1, 1929.
My childhood was a happy one. My par­ents taught me to work, to love the gospel, to be depend­able, truthful and honest.  I am so grateful for the example of my parents and their God-fearing example.
I attended school in a two-room school for my first eight years.  I attended the Snowflake Academy, graduating in May, 1923.  These were difficult four years.  There was no trans­portation between Woodruff and Snowflake.  My brother and I kept house. We sustained ourselves by working out for people whenever we could.  I was on the girls' volleyball team for three years. We never lost a game.
In my senior year I came down with typhoid fever the second day of school.  Due to the kindness and consideration of my teachers, I made up the work and graduated in the spring with my class.  I was privileged to go to Arizona State Teachers College at Flag­staff, Arizona and graduate from the two-year course that was required.  This was indeed a testimony to me. My patriar­chal blessing promised me I would become a teacher.  Due to financial problems, I did not see how this could ever happen. But when the Lord speaks and makes a promise He means what He says if one is willing to work and make sacrifices.
I was married to Nowlin Kartchner in 1929.  Our first home was at Linden, Arizona. We purchased the Kartchner homestead. We had many trials

during the depression of the 1930's.  I am so grateful for my good husband and the six lovely children who came to our home.
Our first born, a son, Lyle Turley Kartchner, was born . March 24, 1930.  He passed away October 22, 1930 of spinal meningitis and pneumonia.  Our daughter Marcine was born September 28, 1931.  A son, Floyd Leon, was born Oct. 18, 1933.  Then a son, Clinton Wayne, was born June 23, 1938. Then two daughters:  Erlene arrived November 9, 1942 and Venla November 4, 1948.  We love and appreciate our family and our twenty-four grandchildren and one great granddaughter.
We moved to Woodruff in April, 1946.  Here we operated a chicken farm.  Our plans are to retire this fall.  We are so grateful for our membership in the Church of Jesus Christ and the many callings that have come to us. 'Nowlin has served as a counselor and a bishop in the Linden Ward.  He has served two stake missions, has been president of the YMMIA, a ward clerk, home teacher, and teacher in many of the organ­izations.
I have served as a counselor, secretary, and president to two ward Relief Societies; president of the YWMIA; and a teacher of most of the classes in all the organizations. At present I am secretary of the Sunday School and the Spiritual Living class leader in Relief Society.  I am so grateful for my testimony of the divinity of Jesus Christ. My blessings are many. My children are my jewels.  I am grateful to be numbered as one in this great Turley Organization.

My youth was lived in Linden, Arizona.  I attended the seventh and eighth grades at Snowflake District School.  I was valedictorian of my eighth grade class. My first and sec­ond years in high school were at Snowflake Union High School. My parents moved to Woodruff in 1946.  I then attended Holbrook High School, graduating in 1948 as Valedictorian.  The fall of 1948 I attended school at Arizona State College, graduating in 1952.  I taught school in Bagdad for two years. Here I met Ronald Francis Shuck and we were married June 19, 1954.  That fall we moved to Tucson, where Ronald enrolled in the University of Arizona.  We lived in Tucson for the next four years until Ronald graduated as a mining engineer. I taught school during this time.
We have lived in different towns in Arizona, Utah, and
193
New Mexico.  At present we are buying a home in LaCanada, California.  Ronald is employed by the Mining Division of Parson-Jardents Construction and Engineering Company.  I keep busy caring for my family and working in the Primary and Relief Society.
A cancer operation when I was 27 years of age made it impossible for me to have children of my own. We were able to adopt two lovely children:  Leslie Ann Shuck, born July 27, 1963 in Phoenix, Arizona; and Ronald Kevin Shuck, born
August 29, 1966 in Prescott, Arizona.

Floyd Leon Kartchner
When I was 13 years of age my parents moved to Woodruff, Arizona.  I attended grade school here and completed high school at Holbrook High.  In 1952 I volunteered for service in the U. S. Army and served my two years.  Eighteen months of this time were spent in Berlin, Germany.  I was on my company's basketball team and we were undefeated among the different conference teams.  Returning home in 1954, I went to work sawing logs.  I enjoyed the freedom of being put in the forest with nature.
On November 22, 1957 I married Beverly Jean Perkins.  She brought four children with her to our home: Jeffery, Debra Jean, Randy, and Cynthia. We were blessed with four children:  Tamra Dawn, Crystal Leona, Floyd Scott, and Kelly Miles.  I am very proud of my eight children.
In 1961 we moved to Mesa to make our home.  I continued cutting logs for a saw mill until I injured my back and couldn't do this work  longer.

Wallace Mar Turley
Wallace, born April 10, 1909 in Woodruff, Arizona, was the son of ALMA RUBEN TURLEY and DELILAH JANE WILLIS.  He married Margaret Eyya Wimmer, daughter of Harvey Wilkerson Wimmer and Sarah Ellen Shelley (born Oct. 23, 1908 in Joseph City, Arizona) on October 23, 1929 in the Arizona Temple.
Wallace spent his childhood days Woodruff, Arizona, gained his high school education in Snowflake and went one year to college at BYU. Margaret grew up in Joseph City, attended Junior High there, then went two years to the Snowflake High School.  They both graduated there in 1928. It was there they met and they later decided to brave the depression and be married.
Wallace truck-farmed with his father and brothers, owned several head of cattle and about 3,000 laying hens. Each year he raised about 1,000 fryers to be sold along with farm produce in Winslow, Holbrook, and McNary.  Be­cause Margaret's health was very poor, her doctor advised her to go to a lower climate and the family moved to Mesa October 11, 1943.  In Mesa, Wallace followed the building trade.
Wallace
and
Margaret Turley
While living in Woodruff they had been blessed with the birth of three sweet little daughters:  Ella Mae, born Sept. 11, 1930 in Margaret's mother's home in Joseph City, Arizona; Donna Lee, born March 27, 1932, also in Joseph City; and Loreine, born Febr. 8, 1936 in the family home in Woodruff. Then, years later, when this family lived in Mesa, their first son Wallace Alan was born in Tempe April 4, 1946. That was a happy day for this family.
In 1948 Wallace took his family to Provo, Utah for the summer, coming back in the fall and leaving Ella Mae there to attend BYU.  In 1949 the family moved to Provo and stayed there the next four years, while Ella Mae and Donna attended BYU.  They both received their degrees there.  A second son, James Wayne, was born in Provo March 27, 1951.  Never were two little boys taken care of so well, with three teenage sisters and two proud parents.
In the fall of 1953 Wallace was called on a full-time mission to the California mission.  Ella Mae had married Gerard Judd and moved to Indiana.  Donna had graduated and was teaching in the Snowflake High School.  Wallace moved Margaret and the three youngest children back to "their home in Mesa before he left for his mission in the fall of 1953.
The next two years were not easy ones for this family. Their first grandson, Gerard Forsythe Judd, died a few hours after birth.  Loreine was in a near-fatal accident, and Wayne at 3 years of age had to have his tonsils out.  But they were all happy to be helping out with "daddy's mission."
Loreine married Robert Cusick in the Arizona Temple. Donna received her doctorate from ASU.  Alan married Millicent Heaton in the St. George Temple and they live in Mesa where Alan is an architect.  Wayne married Nancy Jo Romans in the Manti Temple and now goes to school at ASU. Wallace and Margaret live in the family home in Mesa.  They count as their greatest blessings the gospel of Jesus Christ; their family, who are all active Latter-Day Saints; their 17 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren and their many friends wherever they have lived.  They feel blessed to live 'in the shadow of the temple."

Martha Turley DeWltt;
I, Martha Turley DeWitt, daughter of ALMA RUBEN TURLEY and DELILAH JANE WILLIS TURLEY, was born January 7, 1911 in Snowflake, Arizona.  I grew up in Woodruff, Arizona and at­tended school there, then went to Snowflake where I graduated from high school.
As a child and teenager we had to create most of our rec­reation and some of these things are pleasant memories, such as climbing the Butte, both day and night time, walking up the canyon or river approximately 3 miles to where my father and other men were building a dam. It was on one of these trips on May 18, 1919 that I was bap­tized in the Colorado River. We had candy pulls, parched corn, played many out-door and in-door games, rode horses and burros.  We always looked for­ward to the Fourth and Twenty-Fourth of July which were

cele­brated every year with races and games for all ages.  As we grew older we had dumb suppers, ice cream parties, and hay rides. In winter we skated on the lake east of town.  In summer we would swim in the river and irrigation ditch.
On September 30, 1929 I married Malcolm Reeves De_Witt in Holbrook, Arizona; then, on October 3 we were sealed in the Arizona Temple that same year.
I worked as a practical nurse in the Holbrook Hospital 27 years, retiring in June, 1963. Malcolm is a dairyman and farmer. This keeps us both busy, along with Church work.

Neil DeWitt and Family


JOSEPH HARTLEY TURLEY was born at Beaver, Utah on June 19, 1872, the son of ISAAC and SARAH GREENWOOD TURLEY. JOE was four years old when his father and mother moved to Lehi, Arizona, where they were called to help make a settlement. That summer the family moved to the northern part of the state to St. Joseph on the Little Colorado River, ISAAC hav­ing been asked to change his mission to that settlement as MRS. TURLEY was a big woman and could not stand the heat in the Salt River Valley.
ISAAC TURLEY joined the United Order in St. Joseph, turning a number of horses and cattle in to the order.  They also had fruit trees, grape vines, shrubs, and rose bushes, and started the same in St. Joseph.  In the JOSEPH HARTLEY TURLEY yard are still some of the roses from the original roots.  They are the old fashioned cabbage rose and are very hardy.  The family moved to Snowflake in 1881 and finally down into Mexico where they helped to colonize at Colonia Juarez and Dublan.
In May, 1893, JOSEPH went on a mission to England, from Colonia Juarez, and labored near where his grandmother Ann Hartley had lived.  He looked up his great uncle Joseph Hartley for whom he was named.  On his return he married ABBIE NINA CLUFF, daughter of Orson Cluff and Harriet Ann Bean.  They were married June 7, 1895.  To this union were born five children: Goldie, 1899; Harvey, 1901; Sarah, 1904; Joseph Hartley Jr., 1905; and Reah, 1911.  Reah died in infancy and Sarah died' in 1920 JOSEPH'S wife NINA, died on March 12, 1912 in Colonia Morales, Sonora, Mexico.  The family migrated to northern Arizona the same year, Nov., 1912,
A brother, HYRUM, lived at Woodruff and JOSEPH estab­lished a home there for his children.  He went to St. Joseph as a mud mason and met JOANNA McLAWS, daughter of John Mc Laws and Sophia DeLaMare while boarding at the McLaws hotel. The two were married on May 5, 1915.  To this union were born four children:  the first, twins Walter (accidentally killed at age 13) and Nina, Mary, and Georgia.
207
The family lived in Woodruff the first year then moved to St. Joseph where JOSIE was from.  JOSEPH was a mud mason and brick layer by trade and worked on many buildings in Holbrook, Winslow, Snowflake, and Joseph City.  One of the last buildings he plastered was the LDS church building in Joseph City.  He was an artist at his trade and could build a house from basement to roof complete.  He built his family a nice home in Joseph City and in front of it stands a beau­tiful petrified wood fence which he built from rocks out of the badlands to the north of Joseph City which he had hauled on a wagon.
The family lived for a short time in Mesa and in the last years of Joe’s life he was quite interested in genealogy. He died with pneumonia in the Winslow hospital on October 30, 1941, at the age of 69.  He is buried in the Joseph City Cemetery.
JOANNA McLAWS TURLEY
JOANNA was the second child and first daughter of John McLaws and Sophia DeLaMare, born at St. Joseph, Arizona on Nov. 22, 1877.  She was named for her grandmother, Joanna Ross McLaws, who was born in Scotland and migrated to Utah in 1849.
JOSIE, as she has always been know, being the oldest girl of a family of thirteen, helped her mother considerably in raising the family.  She learned many skills and became an expert dressmaker.  She was one of the first organists in St. Joseph, learning to chord to accompany her father who played the violin.  She studied music and taught young people to play the piano.  At a very early age she was appointed a Sunday School teacher and taught some classes almost as old as she was.  She taught up to 1940 and is remembered as "my Sunday School teacher" by a great many people.  During the years 1906 to 1913 she and her sisters, Alice and Estella, ran a dressmaking business in Flagstaff, Arizona.
JOANNA married JOSEPH HARTLEY TURLEY on May 5, 1915.  He was a widower who lived in Woodruff and had four children rang­ing in age from 16 to 6.  They lived in Woodruff for the first year then moved to St. Joseph where they made their home and raised two families.
Her husband JOSEPH HARTLEY TURLEY died in 1941 and JOSIE moved to Mesa with her daughter Nina where she lived for some time.  While living there she served as a Stake Missionary for two years and did some genealogy research work for the McLaws, joining the Scots Society of Genealogy.  Her eyes failed from too much sewing and she had to stop this work.  In 1951 after Nina married she moved back to her home in Joseph City where she lived with her daughter Mary Pickett.  She was bedfast with a heart condition after February

HYRUM TURLEY, son of ISAAC and SARAH GREENWOOD TURLEY was born March 1, 1876 in Beaver, Utah".—————
My father left Beaver in March, 1877 and went to settle the Salt River in company with Daniel Jones.  In 1878 my father moved my mother and family to St. Joseph, Ariz.  Here we lived in the United Order.  On May 7, 1881 my father moved both of his families to Snowflake.  I was baptized by William J. Flake Jan. 5, 1884, and the same day was confirmed by John Woodruff Freeman at Snowflake.
In the spring of 1885, all of us, except THEODORE and his family, left for Mexico.  I rode a horse all the way and drove horses and cattle.  We located at Corralitos.  My father planted a crop in connection with James Gale and others.  Later we moved up to San Jose, across the river from where Dublan is located.  It was called Turley's Camp. My father was appointed Presiding Elder.  There were about twenty-five families located there.  In the spring of 1886 my father, ISAAC TURLEY, returned to Snowflake and on May 3, 1886 he left Snowflake again for Mexico with CLARA ANN TOLTON and children, a few cows, two ordinary wagons, one spring wagon and one buggy.  They arrived in Benito Juarez May 27, 1886.
My mother, SARAH GREENWOOD TURLEY, died in Benito Juarez Jan. 15, 1887.I was"nearly eleven years old and my brother, JOHN ANDREW, was twenty-one months old.  I took care of him for ten months, then he was taken to Snowflake to live with THEODORE and MARY F. TURLEY.
In the fall and winter of 1885, Alex F. MacDonald and the Apostles made the purchase of 100,000 acres of land on the Piedras Verdes River.  This was mostly grazing land. There was a very little timber and very little land good for farming.  Brother MacDonald made a survey for the town lots.  This place was called Benito Juarez.  We moved to Benito Juarez and we lived there many years.  This is where I went to school and courted my girl.  I worked for two years
212
in the Juarez tan­nery, learning to tan leather.
I was ordained a deacon by Bishop Sevey May 17, 1887 and was made second counselor in the deacons' quorum.  I was ordained a priest by Elder George Teasdale Jan. 3, 1895.  I was mar­ried to PEARL SEVEY, a daughter of Bishop Sevey, on Febr. 21, 1896 at Colonia Juarez by Elder Anthony W. Ivins.  Hyrum Venus and Ivan were born at Juarez.  We took them to the Manti Temple where PEARL and I were sealed and the boys sealed to us Nov. 16, 1898. I was ordained'an Elder at that time by Elder John D. T. McAllister.
I helped to plaster the Juarez Academy and the school house, also other buildings there.
We moved to Colonia Chuichupa in January, 1904.  We milked cows and made cheese for Howd Vader and John Davis and farmed over 100 acres of land.  In the middle of the winter we would turn the cows out to find their own feed for a month or two and go to Madera and Pearson to plaster.
(The above section was written by HYRUM himself.)
When the Mormon colonists left Mexico in July, 1912, HYRUM and his two oldest sons remained in the hills close to the homestead for a few days, hoping to be able to protect the home.  His wife and other children went by train to El , Paso.  There the Salvation Army took care of them for about two weeks.  The family was divided into groups and placed in homes.  Marion was the baby and was very sick at this time, HYRUM and the two boys finally left Chuichupa and rode horse­back to El Paso, reaching there about two weeks after those who went by train.  The family then went to Thatcher, Arizona, where they stayed about three months.  While here they re­ceived a letter from HYRUM's brother, ALMA, asking them to

go to Woodruff, Arizona.  HYRUM freighted from Holbrook to Whiteriver, Fort Apache, and other localities in Northern Arizona with wagon and team.  He helped build some of the dams in Woodruff.  He also laid up adobe houses and plastered and did some farming and dairying.  He had a contract to haul mail from Holbrook to Woodruff for several years.  In 1918 he was chosen Second Counselor to Bishop James Brinkerhoff of the Woodruff Ward, which position he held until May, 1934.
PEARL SEVEY TURLEY, his wife, died April 6, 1938 at Woodruff.  He told his children at the time of her death that he didn't intend to live with his children, but would marry again if it could be worked out that way.
Late that fall he married LOTTIE STOCKETT KUTCH, a widow, They lived in Woodruff a few years, then purchased a home in Mesa near the Temple so they could do temple work.
HYRUM’s health began to fail so that he wasn't able to work in the Temple very long.  He had an operation and was under the doctor's care, but didn't improve.  After being bedfast for some time, he died in Mesa Nov. 25, 1946 and was buried in Woodruff on Nov. 29, 1946.
PEARL SEVEY TURLEY
PEARL SEVEY, the daughter of George Washington and
Phoebe Melinda Butler Sevey, was born Oct. 17, 1878 in Pan-
guitch, Utah.  She was the baby in a family of 14, and her
mother died when she was 14 years old. Her father went to
Mexico in 1885 with his two other wives and evidently his
wife Phoebe preferred to stay in Panguitch.  Several of her
older children were married and living in or near there at
this time.  Phoebe was 48 years old and she died seven years
later at the age of 55.,
PEARL then went to Mexico to live with her father.  It was here that she met HYRUM TURLEY and they were married. PEARL and HYRUM had eight children born in Mexico and four in Woodruff, Arizona.
An experience she had soon after the Saints had to leave Mexico is worth relating. The family stayed in Thatcher,
Arizona for a while, father, HYRUM, went on to Woodruff to find a job and a place to live. When the family was on their way from Thatcher to Woodruff they had to stay over in Albuquer­que , New Mexico for 2 or 3 hours.  Marion, the baby, was sick.  He cried and cried and wouldn't be comforted at all.  Finally a
Salvation Army woman came up and asked what
was the matter with the baby.  Mother said he was sick.  "Why don't you take him to a doctor?" asked the woman.  "We don't have the money," Mother replied.  The woman left and came back with a doctor.  He said the baby would die if they went on to Woodruff.  Mother began to cry, and said she couldn't stay there because she didn't have a cent.  So the Salvation Army took over.  They put Mother and the baby in the hospital and the other children were taken in by some members of the Salvation Army.  Mother never forgot that act of kindness and she was more tolerant of other religions, and so were we older children, because of that experience.
PEARL SEVEY TURLEY taught in Primary, and also was a visiting teacher in Relief Society for many years.  She was president of the Primary in Woodruff for some time.  She likely was selected for the position because of her depend­ability as a teacher.  The Stake Primary president compli­mented her for her dependable and conscientious work in that organization.
Her outstanding characteristics were patience, kindness, and long-suffering.  At the time of her death a new home was being built for her, which she didn't have the privilege of living in.  She remarked a few weeks before her death that she wouldn't be able to live in it.  She was a hard worker-­hoeing in the fields, milking cows, and making cheese.  Her mother, Phoebe Butler Sevey, milked cows and made cheese so PEARL had learned how to do these things when young.  PEARL lived by the Golden Rule, doing unto others as she would like to be done by.
She suffered considerably with rheumatism before she died.  The doctor said she died of a rheumatic heart.  She was 59 years old.  Death came to her on April 6, 1938 at Woodruff.  She was buried in the Woodruff cemetery the next day.

Ivan Turley
Ivan was born March 16, 1898 in Colonia Juarez, Mexico. We lived in Colonia Juarez until I was five years old.  Then we moved to Chuichupa.  We were only able to go to school about four months of the year.  The rest of the time we had to help with the plowing and farming.  We farmed 100 acres for John Davis besides our own place.  Two summers I worked milking cows for John Davis.
When Pancho Villa was driving the people out of Mexico, we got word about 10:00 p.m. to leave Mexico.  We packed hurriedly and left. Mother had just made a batch of cheese. We had to leave about 35 heads on the shelf.  I had a new felt hat which I left on the top of the cupboard, picked up an old one which I wore.  We spent some time in El Paso, then Dad decided to go to Woodruff, to join his brother there. The first winter there food was rather scarce.  We had to live off rabbits and what we could hunt.
Being one of the oldest children, it was Ivan's lot to help make a living for the rest of the family.He started working road construction, mining, building, and farming.  He met Maud Brady, who came to Woodruff to visit her sister, Lura Smithson.  They were married May 1, 1920 at Showlow, Arizona.  She passed away July 12, 1952.

Thelka was born Jan. 14, 1900 in Colonia Juarez, Mexico, the daughter of HYRUM TURLEY and PEARL SEVEY TURLEY.  In her own words she says:  "The first thing I recall after we moved to Chuichupa was when I was five years old.  I went to Juarez to see my grandfather.  He picked me up in his arms and car­ried me to the end of his house to show me his grapes.  He must have been proud of them.  This was the only time I re­member seeing him.  My grandmothers were dead before I was born."
She was twelve years old when the family had to leave Mexico.  She remembers having to stay in a large dance hall for a few nights, then the family moved to Thatcher, Arizona. From there they went to Woodruff, Arizona.
Thelka attended high school in Prescott, Arizona.  She had the opportunity to do this by baby sitting for a Mr. McOmie, for whom her father was working.  This family moved to Hollywood, California.  While there she attended Hollywood High for about six months.  While in Hollywood she played on
218
the Harvard basketball team against the Yale team.  She became homesick and returned home; she was 17 at this time.

Blanche Sophia Turley Tanner
Blanche Sophia Turley was born July 28, 1905 in Chui-chupa, Old Mexico.  As her parents were citizens of the United States, she was also a citizen.  Following is some of her history in her own words:
The most exciting time of my life while young was on my sixth birthday. We were having a party and a man came on hosreback to tell us we all had to get out of Chuipe before daylight the next day because the rebels were coming and would kill us.  We left our homes and headed for El Paso, Texas the next day.  There the women and children had to be separated from the husbands and older brothers.  From El Paso, Texas our family moved to Woodruff, Arizona.
I attended district school there and went three years
to Snowflake High School.  My junior year was spent in Hol­
brook, Arizona.  I did get in two quarters of college at
Tempe State College.
I started to work in the Church while I was in the eighth grade.  I frist started as secretary in Sunday School, then secretary in the MIA.  I did not enjoy it much because I preferred to teach instead.  Then I was called to teach in Primary.  I worked in Primary for 17 years, both ward and stake.  I have also worked in the Primary presidency.  I have taught classes in Sunday School, MIA, and Relief Society. I have also been counselor to many presidents of the Relief Society in both ward and stake.  I was president of the Relief Society in Farmington 2nd Ward and at present am Sea­gull teacher in Primary.
My husband, Bill Tanner, has built me six and a half new homes and I have enjoyed landscaping the yards.  The rose gardens are my hobby.  I have left roses in every yard except two.  We have lived in Farmington over fifteen years.
We have been on several interesting trips in the past ten years.  First we took a Vida Fox Clawson trip from Salt Lake City, Utah to the Islands of Hawaii.  It was wonderful and we made many friends.  Then we took another tour with the same company covering the history of the Church.  We have been to Yellowstone National Park.  Our hobby is fishing.  We took a horseback ride to Emerald Lake in Colorado.
I have been to Salt Lake General Conference many times and heard many of the Authorities speak.  We remember President
227
Heber J. Grant very well; also Joseph F. Smith and David 0. McKay.
Blanche and William Allen Tanner were married June 8, 1926 in the Salt Lake Temple.He was born Febr. 5, 1905 in Snowflake, Ariz. to Thomas William and Marian Francetta Miller Tanner.
We have three wonderful children, all have been married in the Temple and are now active in Church activities.
Children of Blanche and William Allen Tanner:
Norman Coy Tanner, born April 28, 1927 at Snowflake. Cleon Bernell Tanner, born June 7, 1929 at Snowflake. Verla Tanner, born March 9, 1934 at Snowflake; married Paul Lynn Abbott Febr. 1, 1952.

My earliest years and most of my elementary schooling took place in Snowflake.  Then we moved to Mesa, Arizona. In 1941 I graduated from the eighth grade.  At this time I received the American Legion award for citizenship, scholar­ship, leadership, and safety.  In 1944 we moved to Farmington, New Mexico where I graduated from high school.
228
On Jan. 12, 1945 I married Evelyn Bernice Pipkin.  We soon moved back to Mesa.  Our daughter, Norlene Gae was born on Nov. 39, 1945; daughter Michele came along on Dec. 7, 1949 and daughter Vicki arrived on Dec. 18, 1952.

Floyd Turley
Floyd Turley was born Dec. 30, 1907 in Chuichupa,     '. Chihuahua, Mexico, a son of HYRUM and PEARL SEVEY TURLEY. The family left Mexico the latter part of July, 1912 during the Mexican Revolution.  Floyd remembers that they were having a party for his sister, Blanche's, birthday, which is July 28, when a man rode up to their home to tell them the rebels were coming.  He recalls how they turned the cattle out onto the ranges to find their feed, put the many cheeses they had made under the floor, also other valuables, such as pictures, and the children put their little red wagon in the chicken coop and shut the door.  They were all hoping to return soon and find all their belongings still there.
229
HYRUM and the two older boys, Venus and Ivan, went into the mountains with guns to watch the rebels and secure their property again if possible.  Previous to this they had sent the rest of the family by train to El Paso.  The Salvation Army took care of the family in El Paso until HYRUM and the boys had decided that they could not save their prop­erty and had ridden into El Paso on their horses and located the rest of the family.
The family moved to Thatcher, Arizona for a few weeks, then went to Woodruff at the suggestion of ALMA TURLEY, broth­er of HYRUM.  Floyd has lived in Woodruff since that time except for the years spent on a mission in Texas and the two and a half years in Central America.
As a boy, Floyd liked to go with his father on the freight road.  Many men in the area provided for their families by hauling supplies to Fort Apache.  Later, Floyd helped his father by mixing mud for him to work at his trade of plastering.  Floyd began to plaster along with his father when he was 14 or 15 years old.  Later on, he and his father built houses together, and still later, Floyd and his brother, Edgar, were partners in building.
Floyd attended grade school in Woodruff, then went to one year of high school at Snowflake, then a year at the Holbrook High School.  He spent his junior and senior years at Snowflake where he graduated.  He and his sister, Blanche, and brother, George, roomed with their Uncle (Ted) THEODORE TURLEY, paying for their room and much of their food by the boys chopping wood for their uncle and for other families. Floyd was called to the Mexican Mission in the fall of 1928 and spent 2 1/2 years on this mission.  Mexico would not allow missionaries to enter the country at this time, so the mis­sionaries worked with the Mexican people living in the United States.  All of this mission was spent in Texas.
Floyd married Olive Kemp, born Oct. 5, 1905 to John Henry "and Annie Eliza Hyer Kemp, in the Logan Temple on Sept. 30, 1931-  They established a home in Woodruff, Ariz. Six of their eight children were born at Woodruff and the last two were born in Holbrook,
Floyd was asked to be MIA president of the Woodruff Ward shortly after returning from his mission.  About 1932 he was made ward clerk.  In May, 1934 he was called to be Bishop and served until April of 1945.  Shortly after his release he was called on a stake mission.  He worked with Melvin Gardner among the Spanish speaking people of the stake for about a year, then worked with Nowlin Kartchner among the Apache Indians.  He was called to be a High Councilman in 1947 and served on this council for 18 years.  During much of this time the Snowflake Stake covered the area from McNary to Flagstaff, so he spent some long days making visits to the wards.
Floyd worked as maintenance supervisor of the Holbrook Public Schools from 1960 to 1970.  He then went to Central
230
America as a building supervisor for the LDS Church.  He spent nine months in the city of San Salvador in El Salvador, then was sent to the city of Alajuela in Costa Rica where he spent almost fifteen months.  He went to the city of Panama where he spent almost five months.  He and his wife returned to Arizona on December 16, 1972.  They decided to spend the coldest part of the winter in Mesa and returned to Woodruff March 17, 1973.
Olive Kemp Turley was born in Logan, Utah.  In the sum­mer of 1910 the family bought a farm in North Logan and moved to that locality.  Olive went through the first seven grades of school at the North Logan School, then attended the Brigham Young College Training School for the eighth grade, so she could play violin in the school orchestra.  She attended four years of high school at the Brigham Young College, then two years of normal school, from which she graduated in the spring of 1926.  Playing with the BYC orchestra was the highlight of her younger years.
Olive taught school for the next three years, then left for a mission in June, 1929.  She spent a few months in Okla­homa City, then the rest of her mission in Houston, Texas. It was while in Houston that she became acquainted with Floyd Turley, who was serving in the Mexican Mission.
Olive had grown up on a farm and decided to try her hand at gardening during the depression years, to help out with,the needs of the family.  This became quite a profitable hobby and helped very much while the family was growing up.
She has helped in most organizations in the Church, both in her younger years and after marriage.  Three of Olive’s grandparents were born in England, and-about 1952 she became interested in doing genealogical research in England through researchers there.  It was while she was getting started with this hobby that a researcher asked if her husband's peo­ple were of the Birmingham area in England, saying that a director of the company for which he worked was interested 'in the Turley name in that area and it was possible to obtain some material on that surname quite readily.  With the per­mission of the president of the Theodore Turley Family Organ­ization, she then began doing research on the Turley lines in England.  Researching on one of her own lines in England and on the Turley lines has taken considerable time and thought, but it has been a very enjoyable part of her life since the early 1950's.  She greatly appreciates the support of both her own family and the many members of the Turley family in this work.
In December, 1976 Olive, with Floyd as her assistant, was called to head the Branch Genealogical Library in the Holbrook Stake.  This assignment takes considerable time but gives her an opportunity to pursue genealogy.

Floyd Kemp Turley
Like Nephi of old, I was born of goodly parents.  On Sept. 16, 1933 I was born in Woodruff, Arizona in a house across the street from where my parents are now living (1976).  My father, Floyd Turley, worked as a builder while my mother, Olive Kemp Turley, took care of home, family and garden.  I was the second child of eight and the oldest boy.
Woodruff is a small community on the Little Colorado River in northeas­tern Arizona.  The pace of life is slower than the city life, so as I grow up, I spent lots of time playing in the out-of-doors:  along the river,
233








climbing the Butte, among the groves of trees, and in the swamp.  Many of
the things we boys did would be considered too dangerous for our children
to do today, but our mothers didn't know about them, so we enjoyed life in
a small town.    '
When I was three or four years old, some of the older boys in town discovered that I could add numbers in my head.  They would tease me and ask me to perform additions of numbers like 64 and 92; then were surprised to find out that I could really perform the addition,  I don't know if this was an encouragement to me or not, but I have enjoyed mathematics all through­out my school years.  I attended school in Woodruff through the eighth grade, then went to Holbrook High School.  At Holbrook I enjoyed many things: music, especially Glee Club; sports, science, shop—all were interesting.  One subject I did not enjoy was history.  Since I had skipped the third grade, I was a year younger than my classmates, and small for my age, but I man­aged to earn 3 basketball letters, and one each in football and baseball. I was eager to join in any sports activity,  other activities I enjoyed were journalism, where I served as editor of the school paper in my senior year. Offices I held were freshman class reporter, junior class president, and student body president.  My senior year I was selected valedictorian of the class.  In my shop classes, I made several pieces of furniture:  chests, chest of drawers, etc.—some of which are still in use today.
My college years were spent at Arizona state Teachers College at
233a
Tempe.  I started in architecture, but soon switched to chemistry, then building and construction before I left on a mission.  After my mission, I studied Electrical Engineering, and took a B.S.E.E. degree in 1960 from ASU,  All through my college years, I worked to support myself at various jobs.  Some of them were:  busboy, maintenance work, janitor, plastering, building, pouring concrete, carpentry, and other construction related jobs. Now, as I look back, I wonder how I had time to do all that I did in school. At ASU I was vice president of Lambda Delta Sigma, president of Delta Phi, vice president of Blue Key, and served on the Religious Council .
My mission call was to Japan, where for three years I had a very en­joyable: mission. Although the number of baptisms was small, I enjoyed the work and love the Japanese people. One thing that helped: I made a hobby of learning to write the Japanese language. After a year or so, many mem­bers would write to me in "hanji" or Chinese characters.
After my mission, I returned to ASU where I met Joycelynn Hatch. Although I didn't realize it at the time, she was to become my future wife. We were married in the Arizona Temple on June 6, 1959.  Today we have a family of five children:  Kerilynn, Kim Ann, Thomas Kemp, JoEllen and John Kay.  All of them are strong physically, alert mentally, and have testimon­ies of the Gospel for which my wife and I are very thankful.
After graduating from ASU, I went to work for Farnsworth Realty and Development Company.  Today, after sixteen years of working for them, I am the-construction manager for the company.  We have built over three thousand homes, several hundred apartments, numerous commercial buildings, including Poston Junior High School, Mesa North, Mesa West, Salt River and Phoenix North Stake Centers, many other churches, etc.  The company provides work for over 150 men, providing an opportunity for them to earn a living for their families.  I have enjoyed the association with hardworking skilled men in the company.
In the church I have served in many capacities.  At ASU, I taught the investigators class, and was ordained a seventy during my senior year, serving
233b:
as secretary of the Seventies Quorum of the Maricopa Stake.  Since then, I have served as Explorer advisor, YMMIA superintendent, stake missionary, counselor in stake mission presidency, counselor in stake YMMIA superin-tendency, bishop's counselor. Scoutmaster, assistant Scoutmaster, Scout Committee chairman, and High Counselor in the Mesa East Stake with re­sponsibility for the Deacon-Scout program.  This year, I feel very proud of my son Tom who has earned his Eagle Scout rank shortly after turning 13 years old.  I have now served in Scouting for over 13 years and enjoy it very much.
During our married years, my wife and I have discussed family life and business opportunities and all decisions have been made prayerfully by the two of us.  We have built several homes, trying to suit them to our family's needs as the family keeps growing larger, and older.  We have tried to encourage the children to take part in music, sports, and do a good job in their schoolwork.  The boys are planning and saving for missions, and all five know that a college education is theirs if they want it.  My wife and family are my life.  I am grateful for them and their testimonies.  I am also very grateful for the heritage which has been given to me by my an­cestors.  Most of all I am grateful for the Gospel, and the opportunity to return to our Heavenly Father's presence again.  (Dec. 19, 1976)

George Washington Turley
George was born Jan. 18, 1910 in Chuichupa, Mexico.  The family came out of Old Mexico when he was three years old due to the Pancho Villa uprising.  They could have stayed there but the government gave them no protection, so they decided to leave all.  This was a severe hardship on everyone,
George has always been active in the Church.  If he was given an assignment you could depend on it being done well. When the Woodruff Ward bishopric was reorganized in 1950, George was like a caged lion. He had a strong feeling that he; was to be called.  For the first time in his life, he insisted on being late to Church. When he entered, Pres­ident Smith greeted him with, "Brother Turley, we've been waiting for you."  He was made a counselor, but when Elder
236
Henry D. Moyle set him apart he said "Bishop", then after the blessing was over he said, "Brother Turley, I guess you no­ticed I set you 'apart as a bishop.  I didn't make a mistake, the Lord wants you to be a bishop but I don't know where or when.  You just tell them to talk to me when you're called." Eight years later, at the organization of the Shreeveport Stake, he was called out of the audience to be the first bishop of the Natchitoches Ward,  It's interesting to note that Elder THEODORE (Uncle Ted) TURLEY and a Brinkerhoff were the first Mormon Elders to organize a Sunday School there.  The older members still remembered him.
George was married October 23, 1929 in the Mesa Temple to his childhood sweetheart, Pearl Gardner.  She was born March 2, 1914 in Woodruff, daughter of Leroy Eugene and Lovina Eagar Gardner.  George mostly enjoyed ranching and farming.  He always had cattle and crops to tend.  He oper­ated a dairy before he moved to Louisiana to operate a large ranch there for his brother, Marion, and two other men.  It was there that much of his patriarchal blessing was fulfilled, which stated his life would be sought but if he remained calm and prayerful, nothing could touch him. We had many experiences there. We only stayed there three years.  George was bishop of the ward thirty miles away.  Then, as our daughters were getting to the courting age and there were no Mormons around we decided we had better get them back.
George began working for the City of Holbrook. At first he was over the prisoners to have them work on city projects.  Then they found he could do building, so he was responsible for building a tennis court, some of the swimming pool, a fire house, a jail, city hall, three parks, some of the hospital, cemetery, and some of the library.  Also, while bishop of Natchitoches he built and dedicated their lovely ward building in six months.  So he has left a landmark wherever he went.  It was also his job in Woodruff to oversee building the chapel there.
His posterity is all active in the gospel and though he is 63 years old now, he is in the Sunday School presiden­cy, High Priests secretary, and third counselor to his wife in the Relief Society.  At present he is church custodian for two wards and a stake.

Leo" LeGrande Turley    '-- *
Leo was always a very intelligent and obedient child. The young folks often used George and Pearl's home for their 'get-togethers' and so thoroughly spoiled him.  They taught him to box and before he could walk he gave his dad a right to the nose during Church and caused it to bleed so badly he had to leave.  At 2 years he won a loving cup in a beautiful baby contest by Sears.  Having "Turley fingers" we were afraid he would be handicapped, but he always was a good penman and artist.  Anything he wanted to do he did well.  He has always been very generous with his many talents-and time.
He married a very wonderful and talented girl, Joan Allen, in the Mesa Temple June 16, 1953.  Their first two children:  Todd Allen, born March 16, 1954; and Leann, born Febr. 23, 1956, are as fine and healthy children as anyone could ask for.  Then they had a son. Milo Lee, who only lived about six months.  He was so sweet and healthy.  He was born Jan. 13, 1958.  Then they had twins, stillborn, full time, for no reason the doctors could find.  Last was a daughter, also stillborn, full time and unexplainable. •• This year Todd finished his first year at college and is contemplating a mission.  Leann graduates from high school and will go to Flagstaff this fall to college.
LeGrande and Joan have been busy in Church work.  He has been in the Bishopric, Mutual president, and others with his wife working with him.  She helped build their home.  She dances, sings, and decorates cakes and is excel­lent in all homemaking duties

Korrin Eugene Turley
Korrin was born during the championship fight where Joe Lewis won over Jimmy Braddock, so he was called Jimmy Joe for several years.  He was always chubby, but had such long eyelashes and flashy eyes so was always handsome.  He was nine months old when his grandmother, PEARL S. TURLEY, died and as he was walking, he left the funeral and had us hunting all over.
He had a severe case of rheumatic fever when he was seven and only through faith and prayer and patience was he saved and though his heart was enlarged and had a very bad murmur, he overcame this and was on the all-state football team and was accepted into the MP's in the Army.  While in Japan with the Army he met and married Tazuko Okamoto on Nov. 26, 1957.
Korrin decided to use his MP training, so after passing his exams and training, he became an Arizona Highway Patrol­man. He has done a fine job in this and at present he is teaching patrolmen at the school in Phoenix.  They reside in Mesa and dearly love it.  Korrin has just taken his ser­geants exam so may be transferred this year.  Korrin and Tazuko had two children:  Karen, born July 13„ 1959 in Japan; and Sandie, born July 31, 1963 in Holbrook, Arizona. They were divorced Oct. 2, 1974 and he married on Oct. 11, 1974 Gayla Randall Prible.  They were sealed Aug. 6, 1976. Gayla was the mother of Brent Prible, born Dec. 14, 1967 and Stuart Prible, born April 7, 1970.

LaPrill Turley Lee
My father named me after the month of April by putting an "L" at each end.  I don't know where or when the division between the a and P came about but I like to think it makes the name sound foreign and mysterious.  I'm the lucky one in the family because I knew both families:  I was raised with my two older brothers and they were practically grown before my sisters started coming along.
I had some very good teachers to help lay the foundation of my education.  I was the only girl in our class for many years and so took my education seriously.  When I graduated from the 8th grade, Elda Bowler took Verdell Turley and me to Canada on a wonderful trip.  How well traveled I felt because I had been out of the United States.
I surely liked high school.  I began a long career of working at the Dairy Queen when I was a freshman. Among my various other jobs was housegirl for the Judge Melvin T. Shelley, family, I did the Butane books for A. & B. Schuster Company for a few months, but I always went back to the Dairy Queen when summer came. We moved to Louisiana for my senior year in high school.  I was a new experience to Cloutierville High School because I spoke so differently and I was a Mormon.
239
I came home to Arizona by bus with a classmate, JoAnna Nugent, the summer of 1958 and stayed with my grandma. My parents took me back to Louisiana in the fall and I proceeded to attend Natchitoches Trade School where I graduated 8 1/2 months later.  I returned to Arizona in the fall of 1959 to begin my long career as secretary for the Cooperative Extension Service, How I enjoyed that job.  I won a trip to Chicago in 4-H and further added to my travels by accompanying the Holbrook High School Spanish Club to Mexico.
In December of 1965 I met Ivin Crone Lee and married him May 20, 1966 in the Arizona Temple.  Ivin is the son of Arthur and Leah McNeil Lee.  He is a choice person with many talents and outstanding qualities.  He is not afraid of work and does anything he tries well.  He is a Heavy Equipment Operator at Cholla Power Plant, Arizona Public Service Company.
Ivan Berneil Lee was born on Jan. 29, 1967.  He came early and I wasn't ready.  We were so thrilled that he was a boy.  We were living at the Cattle Rest in Joseph City when he was born.  Then, we moved into our present home on April 9, 1969.  Our daughter, Kyra Joy Lee was born on April 21, 1969.  She was a real joy and her daddy's pride and joy.
I have had many jobs in the Church and loved each one. Listed among them are:  Shreveport Stake YWMIA secretary; Sunday School and MIA teacher; YWMIA Activity Counselor in Holbrook; and in Joseph City I've been a Primary teacher, music director, Relief Society demonstration director, and Primary president.

Genene Turley Stradling
The first ten years of my life were spent in the small town of Woodruff.  Here I attended a small two-room school for four years before we moved to a large ranch in Louisiana. This was a very new experience for all of us.  I had never been out of the state of Arizona before.
Our ranch in Louisiana was thirty miles from the Church in Natchitoches and twelve miles to the school in Cloutier-ville.  I only lived there for two years, then returned to Woodruff to stay with LeGrande and his family and LaPrill for about nine months when the rest of the family moved back to Woodruff.  We just couldn't get the Arizona out of us.
A few months later we bought a home in Holbrook, where I continued my education until graduating from high school in 1965.  That autumn, Nov. 13, 1965, I was married to Bennie Lee Stradling in the LDS Church at Holbrook. A very short six weeks later, December 28, 1965 he was drafted into the armed forces and I moved back in with my parents. After Bennie's training at Ft. Bliss, Texas, he was stationed at Ft. Gordon, Georgia.  The fighting in Viet Nam was still
240
very heavy and we were afraid he would soon go there, so I sold all I could to get enough money to fly to Georgia.  Our first week in Georgia was miserable. As the months went by, things improved but very slowly.  We had many experiences in Georgia that created a strong bond between us.  I lost our first two babies while in Georgia; one July 24, 1966, and one Febr. 12, 1967.  Bennie got orders for Viet Nam twice but never had to actually go. We strongly felt the Lord watching over us all during this period although we were not active in the Church at that time.
We returned to Holbrook just before Christinas in 1967. Everything seemed against us, but gradually things worked out.  On Aug. 16, 1968 I lost our third baby; however, he did live for a few minutes and we named him James Aaron Stradling. About three months later, on Dec. 6, 1968, Bennie and I were sealed in the Arizona Temple.  My father stood in for our infant son and he was sealed to us.  On April 30, 1972 we had a son named Deral Shane Stradling and he lived!
Our financial situation seemed to steadily decline, so Bennie found work driving truck for the copper mines and we sold our home and moved to a small town in southern Arizona named Kearny where we live close to my sister Helen and her family. Two more children were born to us: Tisha Pearl, June 26, 1974 and Tory George, born Sept. 10, 1976.

Kathryn Turley
Kathryn weighed 10 lbs. at birth.  She was always very
happy, sometimes laughing and giggling for no reason at all.
When asked why, she would always say, "Cause it's fun.  It
makes me feel good." When Kathy could barely reach the piano
keys she would feel the keys until she'd get some that sounded
good together then say, "Listen  I've found a pretty one."
She was a natural born musician.  She was born with a large,
smiling mouth.  It was amazing the things she could hide
there.  She amazed her music teacher by playing two trumpets 
at the same time.
She was also gifted artistically and could draw and paint very well.  Once a teacher wanted a baby picture of President David 0. McKay.  She used one of his mature pictures as a model and it was very easy to identify the baby picture.
Kathy started going to college in Thatcher and started a part-time job with a veterinarian in the animal hospital there.  She figured that was her occupation so she's there yet, full time.  The doctors had to put a limit on pets she could have.  She thinks she has been cheated because she has always wanted to be a wife and mother, but so far this has eluded her.  She works heavily in the Church there.

Helen Colleen Turley Skinner
My first six years of life were spent in Woodruff,     ' where Dad owned and operated a dairy behind the house.  My first grade of school was spent in Woodruff under Mrs. Johnson, where she also taught six other grades in the same room.  When I was seven, we moved to Louisiana.  There we lived on my Uncle Marion's ranch.  It was about 15 miles from the school in Cloutiervilied and about 30 miles from the nearest church in Natchitoches.  Dad became the bishop of the small branch there and in a year or so we built a new chapel there.  When I was eight years old and time to be baptized, there wasn't a font available and the river and bayous had snakes and alligators in them, so Dad baptized me in a brand new cow trough.
After living back in Woodruff for a while we moved to Holbrook in a brand new house.  Dad worked for the city and we continued attending school there.  In 1968 I graduated from Holbrook High School and also from four years of seminary.  I registered for college at Eastern Arizona Col­lege at Thatcher and was accepted.  I attended school there for three semesters when I gave it up for a home and husband.
On Jan. 23, 1970 I married Arnold Brent Skinner in the Arizona Temple.  After a month of marriage Brent got drafted into the Army.  While Brent was away our first child was born: Krista Dawn, on Nov. 9, 1970.  Brent returned home at Christ­mas and we all moved to Lawton, Oklahoma.  At Ft. Sill he went under special training only to leave for Viet Nam a few months later.  In September we parted again.  On Jan. 27, 1972 I gave birth to our son, Landon Brent.  In August, Brent returned home and out of the Army as a veteran.
Upon his return he found work with Kennicott Copper Co. at Hayden, Arizona.  We moved to Mesa three years ago (1973) and my husband took some more college classes as well as working full time.  I've completed 12 more credits at college towards my B.A. in Elementary Education.  I've been a visiting teacher, a Primary teacher for 2 1/2 years, and Relief Society Nursery Coordinator.  Three years ago I was put in as Hyrum Turley Family President which has been quite a chore, getting everything together at and after reunion time.  We are plan­ning a move to Snowflake in the near future where my husband will be a TV repairman for Lee's TV Shop there.  We have had a new addition to our family, a girl Melody, born July 20, 1975.

Barbara Pearl Turley
Barbara is the seventh living child of George Washington and Pearl Gardner Turley. She only weighed in at 3 1/2 pounds and was called the caboose.  She was treated like a doll by her sisters, as they put doll clothes on her and pushed her in a doll buggy.  She was born with bronchitis and her stom­ach wouldn't hold more than a tablespoon at a time so she was very hard to raise.  When we were in Mesa her Aunt Nedra
242
took her to a Dr. Lee and he gave her a 3-in-l shot and she came out of it and hasn't been scarcely bothered with it since.
At the present time Barbara is staying with her sister, Kathryn, at Thatcher while attending Junior College.  She has a part-time job in a photographic shop there.  She is a quiet, bashful girl but is good to get up and bear her testimony.  She always helps in any family troubles and is willing to help in any Church capacity.

Marion Turley
I was born January 6, 1912 in Chuichupa, Mexico, the eighth child in a family of twelve, to HYRUM and PEARL SEVEY TURLEY.  My father was a building contractor and farmer.
We migrated from Mexico in July of 1912.  I was six months old and because of exposure, became very ill.  As a result, Mother and I had to stay in El Paso, Texas until I was able to travel. We went to Snowflake, Ariz. for a short time, and then moved to Woodruff, Arizona.  Woodruff was a small town of about two hundred people and a typical small Mormon community.  I had to do a man's work while young: milking cows, plowing, and other things connected with farm­ing.  I had to trap wild animals and sell their hides to finance my youth activities.
I went to Woodruff Elementary School, Snowflake High School, where I played varsity football for three years.  I had three years at the University of Arizona at Tucson; two years at the LDS Business College in Salt Lake City, Utah, and completed a LaSalle Correspondence Course in Accounting out of Chicago.
I held a variety of jobs while preparing for a mission and school including mining, road work, and miscellaneous odd jobs.  After completing school, I worked in the office of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co, and Utah Power and Light. I then went to work for Griffin Bakery as bookkeeper and salesman.  Then I worked for Cudahy Packing Co., first as timekeeper then as Assistant Traffic Manager.  I then went into the livestock buying field with Cudahy Packing.  After . three years in the livestock department of Cudahy's, I went to work for Producers Livestock Marketing Assn.  I have been with the Producers for 26 years.  For three years I bought and sold livestock in the Rocky Mountain area, then was trans­ferred to Los Angeles where I was the cow salesman in the Los Angeles stockyards for two years.  Then I was transferred to Brawley, California, to open and manage an office for Producer's Livestock.  I have been in Brawley for 22 years. I also feed cattle of my own on the side.
I filled a mission to the Northwestern States.  I was the president of the Fourth Quorum of Elders in the Salt Lake
243
Stake; served in the stake YMMIA presidency, Park Stake; Aaronic Priesthood Advisor, Maywood Ward; branch president of Brawley Branch, during which we built the present ward chapel.  At that time the branch had 160 members,  I was made district president over a combined district which was being prepared for stakehood, later the Yuma Stake.  I served for fourteen years as Yuma Stake President, just recently being released.  While I was stake president, eight of ten chapels in the stake were built.  This included our. new stake house. I served on the Board of Directors of the Georgia Cattle Ranching and Farming Corporation of the Church.  When Elder Henry D. Moyle, counselor to President McKay and who was President of the Florida Corporation Board passed away, I was called by President McKay to be president of both the Georgia and Florida Corporations.  After I served for year, President N. Eldon Tanner was made .president, and I served as Vice President to him.
While living in Salt Lake City and living in the 17th Ward there, I met my wife, June Clark.  She was born June 1, 1917 in Georgetown, Idaho"! the daughter of Marion Charles Clark and Ella Shepherd Clark.  She was raised in Georgetown, Idaho.  She came to Salt Lake City and attended LDS Business College.  She did office work and bookkeeping for different companies in Salt Lake City.  We were married May 13, 1942 in the Salt Lake Temple.  June is a Church worker, having worked in all of the organizations.  She was both district and ward Relief Society president and YWMIA president.  She is currently Spiritual Living Leader in the ward and In-Service Leader.
For hobbies, I like sports, mainly golf.  My wife and I like to travel.  We sold our home in Brawley and moved to Provo, Utah, and are now back in Brawley.  We are very proud of our seven children.

Melvin Sevey Turley
Melvin Sevey Turley was the ninth child born to HYRUM
and PEARL SEVEY TURLEY.  He was born at Woodruff, Arizona on
Nov. 7, 1913.  His family nicknamed him "Babe" When he was
very young, because he was so small, and the name stuck with
him throughout his life.  When he was fully grown, he was
still the smallest of the Turley boys, with a height of 5"6"
and weight of about 145 pounds. 'He had black, wavy hair,
a medium complexion, and was a handsome boy.
He was always faithful and active in Church; tried to take part whenever he was asked; attended all meetings and served in all Priesthood activities.  He also sang in the Woodruff choir for many years.  His habits were good.  He nev­er did smoke or drink, swear, or even use "slang expressions. He was honest and kind in all his dealings with his fellow-men and was quick to do a good turn for the elderly or for any one who needed help.  He was fond of all children and they loved him; in fact, he was very well liked by every one he came in contact with.
Melvin was a very fast runner. He could out-run all his brothers and nearly all his friends.  In school he was a good athlete.  He loved to play basketball, baseball, and football.  He also enjoyed Boy Scout work.  He was handy at nearly everything and had a natural aptitude for making and repairing things.  Melvin was a hard worker all his life and could be depended upon to see that a job was finished right. His dad was a contractor for building and plastering and later formed a Turley Brother's Company with his sons.  Some of the boys would go off to other towns with their father on these jobs and some of them would stay home'to take care of the farm.  The boys were taught to work hard.  The father was a very stern man and expected a lot from his boys.
One time, when he was about fifteen years old, he and his younger brother, Edgar, were coming back to the house from the field.  It was raining and lots of mud and water everywhere so they took a short cut through a field where a big bull was pastured.  The bull charged and knocked Melvin
245
down and rolled him in the water.  Ed managed to crawl under a fence and then distracted the bull over to where he was so that Kelvin could get away.  Luckily, Melvin was not hurt too badly, but he was really a muddy mess and soaked to the skin.
'When Melvin was about sixteen years old, about the month of August, he and the other three youngest children of the family all came down with typhoid fever.  Melvin was the sickest of them all.  He couldn't hear nor talk at first, but after several weeks, he started to get better.
Melvin liked to trap wild animals and he was fairly successful at it.  He would catch coyotes and wildcats mostly; then skin them and stretch the hides to cure them and then sell them.  He was able to make a little spending money this way. When he was recuperating from the typhoid fever he could hardly wait to get well enough to run his trap line again,
About the summer of 1927, the Elmer Gardner family moved from the town of Snowflake, back to Woodruff.  They had a daughter, Morjorie, who caught the eye of Melvin. They both fell for each other right away and later decided to get married.  They didn't think they were too young, even if older and wiser heads did. Morjorie was 17 and a half years old and Melvin lacked two months of being twenty years old. Morjorie's brother, Melvin, was back from his mission and he and his girl, Inez Hatch, were also planning on being married, so the young people figured they might as well plan a double wedding.  Melvin was just old-fashioned enough that he found Brother Gardner alone one evening and asked for his daughter's hand—and consent was given.  They decided to travel to Utah and be married in the St. George Temple.  It was quite a trip up there and took two days to go.  They had one truck to carry the jars for canning, the camping supplies, etc. and two cars.  Upon arrival in Hurricane, Utah, a house was rented for a week or two and everyone pitched in to can a lot of peaches.  They were plentiful and cheap that year, and by picking up the windfalls, they got them cheaper yet. After days of canning, they got all the jars filled and that job done, then the big day came for going to the next town to be married.  The Turleys had not been able to go with them as planned, but the Gardners were traveling with them on this trip.  The marriage took place Aug. 29, 1933 in the St. George Temple.
For the first two weeks after their marriage, Melvin went to Holbrook and worked in a cleaning establishment. He had worked there for a short time before marriage.  They took their meals with the manager and his wife and rented a hotel room for sleeping.  The wages they made hardly cov­ered the expenses.  Then, when Melvin got a form of lead poisoning on his arms from working in the cleaning fluid so much, they had to quit and move back to Woodruff. Melvin was taken into the Turley Brothers organization and he went back to work for his dad.
On June 4, 1934, their son, Terry Melvin Turley, was born.  Times were tough and the young people had no money.
-  246
The Turley Brothers were still working in a sort of United Order and Melvin was away part of the time on various jobs that his dad contracted for.  Groceries were bought whole­sale with what little cash was brought in. and divided among the families.  There were five families to feed besides keeping one son, Marion, on a mission.
It was during October that Melvin and his brother George were working out near the Petrified Forest on road construction. with a team of horses.  Melvin caught a bad cold and it turned into pneumonia and he had to come home.  After a day and night in the tent, he had to be moved into a warmer place, so his brother Floyd let us put him into their little front bedroom.  A doctor was called up from Holbrook and he pronounced it pneumonia.  He left us some salve to use as a poultice, but it did no good whatsoever.  That was long before penicillin was discovered and found to be a cure for pneumo­nia.  They say that pneumonia terminates or gets better either in 3, 6, or 9 days.  Well, Melvin fought for his life with all his might and lasted 10 or 11 days, but due to his weakened condition from the typhoid fever, he just was not able to survive this last bad illness.  He died in the evening of Nov. 7, 1934 which was his birthday—being just 21 years and a few hours old.  He was buried on November 9 in the Woodruff cemetery.

Terry Melvin Turley.

Terry Melvin Turley
Terry was five months and three days old when his father passed away with pneumonia.  His grand­parents, Lois Heward and George Elmer Gardner, took care of Terry while his mother worked.  She married Rowland Merle Lupher on Dec. 24, 1935 in Gallup, New Mexico. Terry had four sisters:  Merla Ruth Lupher Falco, born Dec. 7, 1936; Janet Elise Lupher Anselmo, born Oct. 3, 1938; Leilani Marie Lupher Waggerby, born April 19, 1941; and Kathleen Nevada Lupher Acuna, born Febr. 29, 1944.
Terry started school in the old Woodruff school.  During his first three years of school his mother and father moved from Arizona to California, to Nevada, and finally to Oregon.  Because of this Terry had to take the second grade over.
Terry's father was a sign painter when he married Terry's mother.  Later he became allergic to paint so he did carpenter work.  It was during the war and the family moved around fol­lowing construction jobs.  Terry attended Riverdale School, Liberty Jr. High School, and Tillamook High School, graduating in May 1953.  He was on the swimming team and basketball
247
team and played the clarinet in the band.
When Terry and his family first moved to Tillamook there was no LDS Church.  So that he might attend some church, he attended the local Methodist Church.  When he was approximately ten, the missionaries came to Tillamook. First meetings were held in the home of Wayne Dean, with four families attending.  Later, they met in the Old Townsend Hall.  For a while, Terry was the only Deacon available to pass the sacrament.  When he was fourteen, he was set apart to be Sunday School superintendent,  Terry was in boy scouts and was later in the National Guard for 9 years.
After high school graduation, Terry worked at the Oregon-Washington Plywood Mill in Garbaldi.  When he was laid off at the mill, he moved to Stayton, Oregon to live with the Ralph Rolfe family.  While living in Stayton, he worked on the Rolfe green bean farm and at a Ford Motor Company.  From Stayton, Terry moved back to Tillamook to work for Condit Chevrolet Company and Wayne Dean.
Terry and Marion Lucille Redmer were married July 17, 1956 in Tillamook, Oregon.  Lucille was born Febr. 24, 1935 in Bowbells, North Dakota, only child of Robert Frank and Helen Rosemary Redmer.  Terry had met Lucille in the second grade.  They were married by the County Justice of the Peace.
Terry and -Lucille had four children in Tillamook. When the youngest was three weeks old, the family moved to Arizona. Terry found a house in Mesa.  He tried his hand at several jobs but soon found that he liked machinist work.  Most of his thirteen years in Arizona have been spent working as a machinist for Walter Brookbank at Palo Verde Machine Products. He is presently self-employed as a machinist.
Terry has served a part-time mission since moving to Mesa.  One Church assignment he particularly enjoyed was being a Temple Visitor's Center guide.  He was ordained a    -High Priest Sept. 30, 1969 by L. Harold Wright.

Nedra Turley Lee
I, Nedra Turley Lee, was born in Woodruff, Arizona on Sept. 22, 1918.I was the eleventh child of HYRUM and PEARL SEVEY TURLEY.  I had four sisters and seven brothers.  I wasn't very well as a child.  I had tonsillitis.  I was baptized Oct. 3, 1926 by Elmer Hatch in the city ditch. When I was in eighth grade I had typhoid fever, whooping cough and measles.  I only went to school six weeks.  I did most of my lessons in bed.  I learned to walk, but my ankles and knees were weak for about a year.
I helped my mother a lot as I had five older brothers. I remember making cheese.  The summer before I was married I got to know my mother very well. We quilted quilts and enjoyed each other very much. My mother died just ten days before I was married--very suddenly with a heart attack.
I met Otto Lee on April 1, 1936. We went together for a year and were married in the Mesa Temple April 15, 1938.  It was during the depression and we had a hard time that first year. We lived with Otto's mother for three months, then we lived with my dad for three months.  I wouldn't advise anyone to do this.  Then we moved to Patterson's Ranch; there we were very happy.  Our first child we named Marva, born Nov. 5, 1939.  Otto worked on another ranch the next year. We had another child a son we named Jerrold Otto, born Dec. 28, 1941. He only lived four months and died of croup and asthma. After losing our baby we were both unhappy. We got a chance to go to Phoenix and work on a ranch. We lived there nine months, then moved to Mesa just before our second son, David Ryan, was born Sept. 30, 1943. We moved three times in the next four years. We lived next to my dad and Aunt Lottie. My father died while we lived there on Thanksgiving Day, 1946. Our son, Vance, was born April 30, 1947. When he was two,
253
we bought a home on 339 W. 9th St. in Mesa.  It was my first real home.  I sure enjoyed it there.  We had another girl, Bettina Renae (Tina) born Febr. 6, 1952.  When she was 17 months old we had another girl, Rhonda Faye, born July 5, 1953. The two girls were very close, almost like twins. When Rhonda was three our little girl Debra Sue was born May 3, 1956. She was a mongoloid child.  This was a great shock to me.  It saddened me very much; it shook my faith very much.  I haven't recovered completely yet    We had another son, Richard 0. , Oct. 26, 1957. When he was six months old we moved back to St. Johns. We moved twice.  The second time we had another son, Kevin W. on July 30, 1959.  In April of 1959 we took Debra Sue to Coolidge to a school for retarded children.
We boughta lot and built a house and moved in January, 1962. We built most of it ourselves.  We had the plumbing, electricity, and foundation, and the finish cupboards we did the rest.  Otto fixed me a Beauty Shop in the master bedroom in front"!  I have had it eight years. On Dec. 9, 1972 Otto had throat cancer surgery.  It sure was a test of faith again.  He is finally getting better.
My life hasn't been a very happy one.  I have tried to make the best of it.  I have worked in the Church in many jobs mostly teaching Primary, Sunday School, Mutual, and finally, genealogy.  If it hadn't been for my faith and the Church, I don't know what I would do.  Our oldest son, David, filled a mission to Scotland. My eight children are my salvation. My testimony of the Gospel has been a constant quide in my life. I hope I can stay true and endure to the end.  I enjoy my her­itage and am proud to be one of the Turley relatives.

George Albert Turley
The following was written by ISAAC TURLEY, JR.:
GEORGE ALBERT TURLEY was born November 29, 1878 in Snowflake, Arizona.  He was the ninth child of his parents, ISAAC and SARAH GREENWOOD TURLEY. The event of his birth oc­curred at the close of the United Order, in which his parents had been living since their arrival from Beaver, Utah in 1876. The United Order, which they were called to observe, was a trial for the Saints to obey.
In 1885, when GEORGE was age seven, his parents were called, along with many others, to move to Old Mexico, Dist­rict of Galeana, in the Casas Grandes Valley.  They first settled in Camp Turley on the west side of the Casas Grandes River across from Colonia Dublan.  Then, one year later, they settled about three and one-half miles south of the location which now is Colonia Juarez, north on the Rio Verde.  They and the other settlers built homes of mud and rock, and some
of adobe.

After getting settled, ISAAC took the older boys with him back to Northern Arizona to move his second wife, CLARA ANN TOLTON, and children and his cattle, brood mares and" horses and other belongings down to Mexico. As they were making their way back, ISAAC felt very uneasy about his wife SARAH who had not been feeling very well for some time, so he traveled on ahead as fast as he could. He arrived back at the Camp in time to, meet the people just returning from burying his dear wife on a northwest hill-slope, adjoining where now is Colonia Juarez.  She was the first person to be buried in that Juarez Cemetery.
CLARA ANN then took care of both families.  SARAH's two eldest sons, THEODORE and ALMA, were married and living in Snowflake at the time their parents went to settle in Mexico and they didn't ever live down there.  WILLIAM, JOSEPH, HYRUM, GEORGE ALBERT, CHARLES, and JOHN were cared for by CLARA ANN. JOHN, the youngest child, later returned to Snow-flake to live with THEODORE.  The younger boys were a great help to ISAAC and CLARA ANN.
257
The settlers were soon notified from Chihuahua City that they were occupying part of Don Luis Terraza's Ranch, so they moved up the river about three miles, in a narrower part of the valley, and there they built a town site which was named Colonia Juarez for Mexico's great president, Benito Juarez.  There, on April 11, 1888 I, ISAAC, JR., was born. I was the tenth child of my parents, ISAAC, SR. and CLARA ANN. I remember when the streets of the colony were only staked off.  No permanent homes were yet  built, only lean-tos and mud huts.  We could walk cross-wise from one hut to another. There were no gates, fences, or ditches.  The women had to wash clothes on rocks on the river bank, with water from only a trickling, small stream coursing here and there in the river bed.  All water for use in the homes had to be carried from the river in buckets and other containers.  Finally, some of the water from the small river stream was directed from above town by the men into a small ditch, which had to sup­ply the families for their needs.
Later, Apostle Erastus Snow, while visiting the colony, saw their great need for water and promised the people that if they would be faithful in the payment of their tithing and offerings and live the Gospel of the Lord, Jesus Christ, and love one another, the Lord would bless them with sufficient water to serve their needs.  Soon after this promise was made to them, and they were doing their best to keep the command­ments, there occurred a great earthquake high up in the Sierra Madre Mountains.  Fires were seen in the mountains which were a result of the quake.  Ledges and mountain tops in various canyons cracked and crumbled, and water gushed forth from those ledges, and a good supply of water has been flowing from those mountain sources since that day for the use of the people there.
The little settlement began to prosper, with beautiful gardens.  ISAAC, SR. went to San Bernardino, California with his teams and large wagon and brought fruit trees of many kinds and planted them and shared them with other people who wished to plant trees, which was the introduction of the fruit industry there, in the colonies.  As the town and its people began to expand, some of the people left Colonia Jua­rez and moved to Colonia Dublan, sixteen miles east of Colo­nia Juarez.  Some moved up into the mountains and established homes in Colonia Garcia, Colonia Pacheco, Corrales, and Hop Valley; and some even went further beyond Colonia Garcia and ventured out to Mound Valley, Meadow Valley, Juan de Dios, and on up to Chuichupa, ninety miles from Colonia Juarez. Some of those who settled in those areas were the Whettens, Farnsworths, Binghams, Cluffs, and others.
My brother JOSEPH moved to Garcia and married NINA CLUFF. GEORGE ALBERT became acquainted with IDA BELL FARNSWORTH and they were married in Colonia Garcia on February 16, 1899. Ida Mae was born to them on Febr. 18, 1900 in Garcia.  GEORGE was a hard worker in growing crops and was skillful in run­ning machinery.  He was a good, kind, conscientious person, and was very dependable and agreeable to work with.  He was always ready to do his part of the work.
258
My memories of him are only with the love and closeness that I felt toward him as my very dear brother.  GEORGE and CHARLES were nearer my age than any of my brothers, so we were together more and I grew to love them very much as we did the chores and other work together.
GEORGE was very dependable, both in his work in the ward and in his work on the sawmill.  He was diligent in doing his ward teaching and other Church work.  He always honored his priesthood and responded to every call that came to him,
On the morning of February 26, 1908, as GEORGE was leaving his little family to go to work at the sawmill on the southeast side of Garcia, he kissed IDA BELL and little Ida Mae goodbye as he always did when he left for work, but that morning he went as far as the front gate and then went back and embraced his wife and child again and kissed them goodbye.  He must have realized something of what that day held for him and for them.  The man whose job it was to tend the boiler did not go to work that day, so GEORGE was given the extra responsibility of watching the boiler besides his own usual work on the edger which cut the bark from the edges of the lumber.  The boiler became over-heated and when water was turned into it, a great explosion occurred and GEORGE was flung about one hundred feet, his body badly mangled.
What a great and terrible shock George’s sudden death was to all of us!  He was buried there in Colonia Garcia the next day, February 27.  Three months after that fateful day, their little Thelma Edna was born on May 26, 1908.
IDA BELL bravely carried on, and raised their two little daughters.  She, during the years ahead, served a great mis­sion in assisting the people for many miles around in deliv­ering their babies and nursing them through many illnesses and Injuries.  I, ISAAC, JR., was called to help her on various occasions.  Both GEORGE ALBERT and IDA BELL have been examples for us all to strive to emulate.

After GEORGE ALBERT'S death, IDA BELL FARNSWORTH TURLEY, GEORGE's wife, married John Howard Kartchner, son of John Kartchner.  IDA BELL was born Sept. 25, 1880 in Tuba City, Ariz., daughter of Alonzo L, and Ida Tietjan Farnsworth.

Charles Dennis Turley
CHARLES DENNIS TURLEY, the tenth child of ISAAC and SARAH GREENWOOD TURLEY, was born August 4, 1881 in Snowflake, Arizona. He lost his mother at the age of six years, and from that time on was raised by the loving mother of his brothers and sisters.  SARAH had twelve children and CLARA had twelve.

Father was very close to his sister NELLIE (CLARA ELLEN) who was the same age.  He was a very obedient boy and never gave his folks cause to worry.  He taught his younger brother, ISAAC. JR., to milk and do the chores around the house, and never scolded his younger brothers and sisters.  He loved them all very much.
Life was very primitive in the Colonies at this time.  They lived in stockades and small homes.  There were no streets or roads.  CHARLES helped his father plant the first orchard in Colonia Juarez.  The trees were brought in from San Bernardino.  At 18, CHARLES went to work
in the mines at Sonora.  He be-
came a brick mason and helped build the mill at Pearson.  He
came back home after two years
and his folks were very upset with him as he had taken up smoking.  He married MYRTLE HATCH, born January 10, 1884 in Pleasanton, New Mexico, in September of 1902. MYRTLE passed away Sept. 5, 1919 leaving two children living:  Jay_ and Pauline.
266
On Febr. 19, 1920 CHARLES married ROBERTA WOOD, born Nov. 6, 1901 in Colonia Juarez, daugh­ter of Peter Cotton and Lucy Jane Flake Wood. She was twenty years younger than he and just four years older than Jay and seven years old­er than Pauline.
As you can see, we moved a lot.  Daddy worked on the Temple in Mesa.  He was foreman of the masonry work.  He did the decorating work with the terra cotta, the Pioneers and Handcarts. We then moved to the In­dian reservation and Daddy built hospitals and schools for the govern­ment at the following locations:  Fort Wingate, Shiprock, Tohatchi, and Fort Defiance.  We lived in Gallup and Daddy work­ed during the day and al­so at night, setting boil­ers at the mines at Camerco.


In Farmington we lived on a farm and raised our own food as well as some to sell.  There was a very large apple orchard as well as other fruit.  While in Farmington, Daddy also worked at the Chaco Canyon Indian ruins, helping to rebuild portions of them.  We have visited them and it is well worth the trip to see such a magnificent city of ancient times. These were probably people of the Book of Mormon.
The last move as a family was in 1934 to Albuquerque, New Mexico.  Daddy and Mother both worked here and we older children did some babysitting.  Daddy was having a hard time getting work because of his age and also not feeling well. I believe the cancer had started growing by this time.  Mother worked for the government, teaching the Indian women how to can, so Daddy stayed home and took care of the fields and livestock and we three youngest.  I was old enough to help him and he taught me to do a lot of things, including the art of making bread.  We worked in the fields, milked the cows, and drove a team of horses.  I wouldn't trade these experiences for anything.  Father very seldom scolded us.  I can't remember him ever raising his voice in anger.  He had the patience of Job.
Daddy was well liked by all who knew him.  He worked hard all of his life, sometimes holding two jobs.  We know that our father was a fine man and pray we are a credit to
him.

New Mexico
Three of Charles Turley's children:
Jane, Jay L., and Roberta.

Jay Turley
Jay was the second son of CHARLES DENNIS and MYRTLE HATCH TURLEY.  He and his sister Pauline were the only two of six children born to this couple to survive infancy.
They lived in Mexico with their parents where Jay was involved in a tragic accident which affected his entire life. At the age of six years, before he started school, he was riding in a wagon from which he fell.  He sustained a severe blow to the head which pinched the skull to the brain.  From that time forth, Jay was unable to learn or progress emotion­ally.
After his mother died when he was 14, Jay stayed with his father, coming to the United States when CHARLES TURLEY left Mexico to work on the Arizona Temple.  During the later years of his life, Jay lived for a time with his sister, and then was admitted to the Arizona State Hospital, where he was allowed to come and go freely with delivery men on their routes around the city.
Jay was a very quiet man with the sweetness and humility of a young child.  Though he never learned to read or reason as an adult, he had an uncanny ability to remember faces, even after long periods of time.  He died very quietly on June 29, 1958 in Phoenix, Arizona at the age of 53 and was buried at Heber, Arizona.

Pauline Turley Beecroft
Pauline's childhood was spent in the Mexican colonies and during her early youth she was held as a hostage by Pancho Villa and his men while her parents were sent to bring in arms.
Her mother died several years later, in 1919', and Pauline went to live with her maternal grandmother, Maria McClellan Hatch.  Her father remarried, but Pauline continued to live with her grandmother while receiving her education.
While teaching school in Colonia Garcia she met Albert Farnsworth Beecroft. They married Sept. 8, 1928 in Tombstone, Arizona and their first child was born in Bisbee, Arizona on June 19, 1929.  Following this event they returned to Mexico where the remainder of their six children were born.  They raised their family in the Colonies until 1949, when they moved to Douglas, Arizona, where Pauline remained until her death on Oct. 31, 1958.
Life was never easy for Pauline.  Her mother died at a young age; her father was unable to care for her; the only brother she had received a head wound which retarded his learning ability and consequently they were both teased by other children.
After her marriage to Albert, a great deal of responsi­bility for the family was placed upon her because he was a
269
commercial hunting guide and would be gone for long periods of time.  In addition to caring for six children, she had to teach school for several years.  Had she elected not to teach, none of the children in Garcia would have had an educa­tion.  She did all these things and more, in spite of periods of illness and hard times, and she was a better person for it.
To those who knew her, Pauline Turley Beecroft stood for warmth and love and goodness.These virtues were ex­tended even beyond family and friends to those who were looked down upon by many.  Even the stoic Apaches turned to her when they needed help—not because of medical training, for she had none, but because they trusted her and knew she would help.
Even her final years were difficult at best, for they
were filled with pain.  She died of cancer two months after
her fiftieth birthday.  At her funeral, the Church was filled
and when there was no standing room left inside, the people
stood at the windows looking in.  Even the high school,    
thirty miles away, was closed so the students and faculty
could attend.  That was a great tribute to a great lady.  Her 
memory lives today in the hearts of those who loved her,
Pauline was buried in Heber, Arizona.

Myrtle June Beecroft Martineau
Myrtle was born June 19, 1929 in Bisbee, Arizona.  She was reared in the Mormon Colonies in Mexico where she also obtained her education.  At the age of eight years, June suffered a heart attack.  As a result, she was unable to sustain the high altitude of Colonia Garcia all year round so she boarded with relatives during most of her school,years.
In 1946 she met and married Ralph S. Martineau and they moved to Arizona.  During the early years of their marriage they moved quite a few times, but the bulk of these years were spent in Overgaard, Arizona, where Ralph worked for Southwest Forest Industries.  In 1959 their family moved to Peru, where they spent nearly two years with a copper company.  Upon their return to the United States they moved several times and fin­ally settled in Tempe, Arizona, where Ralph is a construction contractor.
June's interest and hobbies lie in creativity.  She is talented in many crafts and has a natural talent for creating beautiful and functional objects for herself and others.

Betty Jane Robertson Francon
I am the granddaughter of CHARLES DENNIS TURLEY.  He passed away when I was very small.  I was the only grandchild he lived to see.  I have a special Valentine he gave me.
275
Mother and I treasure It very much.  I am grateful for a loving mother who saw to it that we were raised in the Gos­pel.  The memories I have of that little Albuquerque Branch are with me still.  I was born and raised in Albuquerque.
On October 5, 1960 I married a former Western States missionary in the Logan Temple, LaVar Francon, and we are the parents of five children.  We make our home in Deweyville, Utah, seventy miles north of Salt Lake City.  My husband helps run his father's farm.
I have always been active in Church work.  I have nearly twenty years of service in the 16 years I have held positions: Drama, MIA teacher, Primary, Relief Society, Mutual Marrieds. And I am currently Junior Sunday School Coordinator.
We love the out-of-doors. We camp, ride horses, and best of all, we love to sing and dance. My daughter, Julene, and I play guitars and ever since I can remember, we have loved to sing, especially the old songs of the West.  My fondest memories will always be of those old family gather­ings around Granny's piano, and Uncle Dennis and his guitar and Mama and a Jews harp or a harmonica.
At Uncle Jay's funeral I was happy to meet many wonder­ful Turleys and especially do I cherish that first and last visit with Aunt Pauline and her beautiful family.

Edward Vernon Turley
Edward lived in Colonia Juarez for fifteen years where the colonies gave the people who lived there every opportunity to enjoy the best of everything through Church activities. The Madero Revolution of 1911 reached the point where Church Authorities recommended that all LDS people should leave the Colonies in Mexico and return to the United States of America. Edward's family went to El Paso, Texas.
For two years Edward worked for the El Paso Union Depot as Assistant Ticket Agent and attended the International Business College at night.  He completed two years of high school work as well as accounting, first and second budget work.  By May 25, 1918 he had completed the Juarez Stake Aca­demy High School requirements, but decided not to graduate but returned in the fall to do post graduate work and play ball and enjoy the Academy another year.  During each summer the railroad gave his job back at the ticket office.
During the summer of 1918 the war was going on and they needed men for the Armed Services.  In July, five of the boys from the Colonies, including Edward, decided to go to Utah and join the Student Army Training Corps at Utah State University. After four weeks of training, thirty members of the Corps were selected to go to the Central Infantry Officers training school
290
at Waco, Texas.  The Armistice was signed Nov. 11, 1918, so it wasn't necessary for them to go overseas.  After being released from the Army in Waco, he returned to the job at the Union Station in El Paso.  It was his plan to accumulate funds and return to Utah State University to continue his education in the fall of 1919.
In April, 1919, his parents suggested that as he had more than enough credits to graduate from the Juarez Stake Academy, he come and graduate in the class with his brother Clarence F The principle of the Academy and the Board of Education approved, and he was graduated with a class of six boys May, 1919. July 27, 1919 President Andrew Kimball came to El Paso for a ward conference and during this time ordained Edward an Elder. Late in July he received a letter from Box B to report on Sept. 15, 1919 to Salt Lake City and be ready to enter the Eastern States Mission, headquarters at 273 Gates Avenue, Brooklyn, New York.  During the two years he was in the mission, field he was fortunate to be able to labor in New York in the office during the day, holding meetings in Brooklyn and New York in the evenings. He also labored in New Haven, Hartford, Springfield, Boston, Lynn, and in Vermont.
October 1, 1921 Edward V. was given a release from the mission so that he could be in Salt Lake City for General Conference October 5, 6, and 7.  While at conference, Bishop A. L. Pierce offered him a bookkeeper position in Chihuahua City in the automobile business.  During the next two years Edward V. made all the financial statements for the Cia de Aubomobile S.A.  He completed all the Ford System.  He had a correspondence course in accounting and auditing with International Correspondence College in Pennsylvania.
There was a fine branch of the El Paso Ward, St. Joseph Stake in Chihuahua City with about thirty members where Edward was involved with the branch basketball teams.  In November, 1923, Trenial Pauly, manager for the automobile company and Edward V. Turley, auditor, resigned their positions and returned to El Paso, Texas.  The Seiberling Tire Company gave them the retail franchise in El Paso.  Edward had served as First Assis­tant Superintendent of the Sunday School and First Assistant Superintendent of the YMMIA before being called to be second counselor in the El Paso Ward Bishopric on Nov. 20, 1924. While serving for seven years, Edward helped the ward build a new chapel.
In September, 1931 Edward V. Turley moved to Dallas, Texas to take an auditor's position with an automobile comp­any.  The first Sunday he attended Church in the branch they were having a branch conference.  The president of the Texas Mission asked him if he would labor as Second Counselor in the branch presidency.  It was an opportunity to serve so he accepted the call.  This was a small branch, but very dedic­ated members and a joy to serve with them and help with their problems.  August 15, 1932 he returned to El Paso where the family was because the children could not live in the Dallas climate.  In a short time there were various positions that the bishopric gave him to work in.  He was working as auditor
291
in the Tax Assessor's Office during the years of 1933-1934. The fall of 1934 he was called to be superintendent of the YMMIA, and in May was called to be Ward Clerk.  In Dec., 1942 he was called to be a High Councilman.  Elder George Albert Smith of the Council of the Twelve set him apart. He labored under President Spencer W. Kimball of the Mt. Graham Stake.  On Sept. 20, 1952, the El Paso Stake was organized by Elders Harold B. Lee and Spencer W. Kimball of the Council of the Twelve.  Elder Edward V. Turley.Sr. was set apart as Stake President In 1955 he was released and called to teach the Senior Aaronic group for eleven years — a humbling experience with a great deal of joy re­ceived in seeing many advance in the Priesthood.  He was called to be the Stake Auditor in 1964 and has been teaching the High Priest's group in El Paso Ward.
Edward married Winifred Louise Roche on Sept. 24, 1925 in El "Paso, Tex­as .  She was born Oct. 8, 1902 to Thomas Davies and Mar­garet Elizabeth Parry Corey Roche.
After her death, he mar­ried Gladys Carol Tarpenning Brockus Feb 27, 1960 in El Paso, Texas. She was born Dec. 25, 1905 in Ashland, Nebr. to Bert Elmer and Kittie Frances Will         Tarpenning.

Clarence Franklin Turley
I completed the first five grades of Primary School and left Mexico in July, 1912 at the time of the Exodus, returning with my parents and family in Sept. 1914.  I saw and exper­ienced many happenings during the Revolution, some of them faith-promoting.  I graduated from the Juarez Stake Academy
294
in May, 1919.  I attended the Utah Agricultural College at Logan, Utah one year and on March 10, 1925 I married Anna Tenney in El Paso, Texas.  The ceremony was performed by Bishop Arwell L. Pierce, a civil marriage.  On June 5, 1925 we were married for time and eternity in the Salt Lake Temple by Elder George F. Richards.
I graduated from Texas Chiropractic College in June, 1930 and practiced at Yorktown, Texas; and then, later, twenty years in the Colonies in Mexico where we made our permanent home.  We pioneered the Tinaja, developing the first success­ful producing apple orchard with its hardships and stress to get irrigation water.  Since our outcome of this horticultural endeavor, others have planted orchards and at present the Tinaja stands out as the extra bread basket of Colonia Juarez.
Our family have been and still are active Church members with strong testimonies of the truthfulness of the Gospel. Three of our children have filled full-time missions and now that Anna and I are alone, we hope to be able soon to keep a full-time missionary in the field all the time.
Anna Tenney was born June 21, 1904 in Colonia Dublan, Mexico, daughter of Nathan Cram and Pearl Isabel Walters Tenney.  She went with her parents at the time of the Exodus form Mexico to El Paso, Texas, then on to Salt Lake City.
Our family eventually returned to the El Paso Upper Valley where father obtained work for himself and his teams. I attended Church in Chamberino and also attended Primary School at the Central School west of Canutillo, Texas until my sophomore year in high school.  I completed my junior year at Gila Jr. College, eventually graduating from the Juarez Stake Academy at Colonia Juarez, Mexico.
I met and married Clarence F. Turley. We are the parents of nine children, four girls and five boys.  My interests out­side of family and homemaking were music and church work.  I loved to sing and had plenty opportunities as a soprano soloist and singing in the choir.  The funerals at which I consented to lend my voice were always appreciated and I received very warm and lasting appreciation for it which endeared me to the families bereaved.  To sing at a funeral was not an easy task but when performed, gave lasting satisfaction and a feeling of warmth.

Before my first birthday we moved to Colonia Juarez, Mexico where I spent most of my growing-up years, being educated in the elementary and secondary schools there. Upon receiving my diploma from Juarez Stake Academy in May, 1946, my friend, Vera Whetten, and I left the colonies for Mesa, Arizona where we enrolled in Arizona State University and went to work for the Telephone Company in Mesa on a part-time basis.  Here I studied general education and majored in piano.  I have always been involved in music, dancing, singing, and playing the piano.  I was given a piano scholar­ship the second year at college.  After three semesters I went home to care for the family for a time, then went to work in El Paso, Texas where I continued my courtship with Milton Alvin Romney, whom I had known since my senior year in high school.

At the time of my birth many of the people of Colonia Juarez were in Mesa, Arizona for the dedication of the Arizona Temple.  Sister Polly Sloan remained in Colonia Juarez be­cause she had just given birth the week before to a daughter. She acted as midwife to my mother.

Eight months later they were married in the Mesa Temple on August 18, 1956.  They traveled to Chicago, Illinois where Larry attended Dental School at Northwestern University.  He was employed by the Chicago Tribune newspaper for four years and Marilyn worked for Davis, Keenlein, Keating--a Pharmaceutical Research and Marketing firm.
Two children were born to them in Chicago:  Lawrence Mark Lee, Dec. 11, 1957 and Douglas Turley Lee, March 10, 1959.

We have lived in the Deming, New Mexico area since 1961, where Frank has been em­ployed with the Federal Aviation Administration as Electronic Engineer.  Prior to that time he received his degree from the University of New Mexico in Geology and Engineering and has also many hours with the Federal Aviation Academy in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma,  I, Helen, spent a couple of years at BYU be­fore our marriage, which education I would like to continue some day, perhaps when the children are grown.
We have served in many positions in the Deming Ward which is small, so there has been much opportunity for service. These privileges have really promoted our appreciation, growth and understanding of the Gospel.  Frank was released last Sunday, however, form his position in the Bishopric, along with the rest of the family from our responsibilities since we are planning to move to Mesa, Arizona by the first of Aug. (1976).  Jill, our oldest, will be a senior in school this fall, and Kelly, our youngest, will be in the sixth grade, so we want to be settled in Mesa by the time the school year begins.  We have felt as a family that we needed to relocate where there is more opportunity for church youth activity for our growing family, so we are looking forward to moving.

Harold Emerson Turley
I was born in Colonia Juarez, Mexico, Nov. 22, 1911, the son of EDWARD FRANKLIN and IDA ELIZABETH EYRING TURLEY.  It was at a time when Mexico was in turmoil.  There were several rebel forces trying to overthrow the Mexican government, one of which was Pancho Villa and his forces.  The situation in the Mormon Colonies became so critical that the Stake Pres­ident, after being in communication with Church headquarters in Salt Lake City, advised people to leave Mexico and return to the United States.  In July of 1912, most of the members of the Juarez Stake went out on the Noroeste train to Ciudad Juarez.  We went out in box cars and had to leave practically all of our possessions.  We lived in El Paso, Texas for about two years.  During that time conditions in the Colonies im­proved to a point that quite a number of the families that had left in July, 1912 returned to their homes in Mexico.  My parents found things in a very sad condition.  People had gone into our home and ransacked it and had taken most of the valuables out of it.
During the first four years of my life, according to my mother, I had very poor health.  I had stomach problems and my mother had to be very careful of what I ate.  I remem­ber one time I had gone into the cellar and gotten several apples and had gone around to the back of the cellar, which was on the south side in the warm sun, and sat there on the ground eating the apples.  My mother had missed me for some time and started looking for me and when she found me eating these apples, she punished me because she felt that the apples would make me sick.  On the contrary, the apples seemed to straighten out my problems with my stomach and my health began to improve.  I can recall many times, when I was young, eating a dozen apples before breakfast and then going in and eating a hearty breakfast.
When I was five years old I broke my leg the day before the only doctor who was down in the Colonies, Dr. Gay, was to leave because this was at the time which they called the "Second Exodus" when a lot of the people in the Colonies left the second time to go to the United States.  Dr. Gay set my leg and put a cast on it.  After about 15 days I began to have very severe pain and when the nurse. Sister Mecham, examined my leg, she felt that she needed to cut the cast so that she could see what the problem was and when she did, she found my leg around the knee inflamed and it looked like the bone was going to pierce the skin.  It was a sharp bone. My father got Bishop Walser to come and help him administer to me, and after being administered to, this bone went back into place.  Sister Mecham put another cast on my leg and, in due time, took it off and to this day I have never had any problem with my leg.  This was a case of faith and the power of the Priesthood.
In the spring of 1917, at the time of the second major revolution that transpired in the northern part of Chihuahua when Pancho Villa was still trying to,gain control of Mexico, word came into town that General Carranza and his men were
310
just a few miles out of Colonia Juarez.  We had gotten word a number of days before that we could expect these rebels to come through this part of Chihuahua.  My father had always had a year s supply of chopped wood and he had taken prac­tically all of our valuables out of the house:  dishes, bed­ding, anything that these men might want to pick up and take with them.  He had put these valuables in trunks and boxes and had piled a large stack of chopped wood on top of the boxes and trunks.  About 300 men camped in the lane by our barn. After these men had scouted around and found that we had a lot of hay in our barn and a lot of wood for their campfires, they decided that this was a good place to camp while they scouted through the town to see what valuables they could find to help them on their journey.  The night before they left, I remember so vividly we were sitting around the table eating supper; a knock came on the back door and you could tell that it had been made by the butt of a gun.  My father went to the door and two Carranzistas walked in, guns in hand.  They had two ammunition belts crisscrossed over their shoulders and across their chests, and they did not remove their big hats in the house.  They demanded bedding and food. My father took them through the house and they ransacked and checked closely to see what they could find.  The reason for their leaving was they had used up all of the hay out of the barn.  Also, they had gotten word that General Pershing was coming with his men.  My father mentioned after they had gone that he was afraid that they would use enough wood out of the woodpile before the hay ran out to uncover just one of the boxes.  If they did this, they they would find all of the boxes with our valuables.  But the hay ran out first and they went on their way.  As a young boy, I will never forget that experience of these men coming into the house and the fear that I had that they would murder us all.
In the fall of 1927 the Arizona Temple was dedicated and I remember that, at fifteen years of age, I drove my par­ents and Brother and Sister Edward McClellan to Mesa for the dedication.  It was the first time I had come out to the Uni­ted States since I was two years old.
At the middle of my senior year, several of the young people from El Paso came to Colonia Juarea to finish high school.  Among them was Ireta Pierce.  Little did I know at this time that she was going" to be my wife and eternal com­panion seven years hence.  This graduating class from the Juarez Stake Academy of 25 graduates was the largest graduating class up to that time.
During the summer after graduating from high school in 1930, Brother Ivins Bentley came to Colonia Juarez to tell us about the advantages of going to Gila Junior College, a Church school.  He told me that if I would go out to Gila, that he ' was certain that he could get me work that would at least pay my tuition and books,  I went to Gila and did janitorial work to pay for my tuition and books and most of my living expenses.  I remember milking a cow for Sister Williams for milk.  Anthon Turley and I were batching together that year.
311
I enjoyed very much going to school at Gila.  I participated in all the sports.  I started out by going out for football. I had never played football before and I had never seen a football game and the first game of the season was with Arizona State Teachers College at Tempe, Arizona, and it was the first night football game held in Arizona.  I started that game in the backfield.  This incident of my playing in the first football game I had ever seen was put in "Believe It or Not" by Ripley and it was mentioned, also, that it was the first night football game in Arizona.  In one of the spring student body assemblies the end of my second year, I was presented the All Around Athlete" watch for the year. My parents were present for this presentation.  They were on their way back from Mesa where they had spent the winter doing temple work.
The University of Arizona offered me a basketball scholar-
ship if I would attend the University.  I accepted and par­
ticipated in basketball, football, and baseball.  I majored
in Physical Education and minored in Business.  I graduated
at mid-year and because of this, I did not get a school to
coach in.  I went to work for Commercial Credit Company in
Phoenix after graduating.  I worked with them a little over
a year and then went to El Paso, Texas.  My brother, Vernon,
encouraged me to come.  I am confident that the Lord had a
hand in my coming to El Paso because this is where Ireta and
I got together.
I came to El Paso the first part of May, 1937 and because I had not had a chance to spend any time with my parents over a number of years, I went to Colonia Juarez and spent about three weeks there with them and then returned to El Paso. Shortly after I returned, Ireta returned from school where she had graduated from BYU that spring.  She had contracted to teach school in Lovell, Wyoming, but had a summer job in El Paso as secretary to the County Attorney.  We started going with each other June 30 and did not date anyone else after our first date together.  We were engaged to be married by the end of August.  We were married in the Arizona Temple November 26, 1937.  Neither one of us was able to get off work, so we planned on going over during the Thanksgiving holidays, which was a long weekend.  We were married the day after Thanksgiving and returned to El Paso in time to go to work Monday morning.  This was the extent of our honeymoon.
I served in the YMMIA superintendency and played basket­ball for Standard Oil and for the LDS Church in two different leagues.  We seldom stayed home in the evenings.  I worked for Standard Oil Company for thirteen months and then went to work for my father-in-law in the lumber business.  I went down to the sawmill in September, 1938.  Ireta 'was still working for the County Attorney and did not go down to the sawmill with me at first.  This job was quite a challenge for me since I did not know a thing about the production of lumber and I did not recall of ever being around a sawmill before then.  I spent a lot of time reviewing the operations of the sawmill and the planing mill and then went into the woods to
312
gain a knowledge and understanding of logging operations.  I had problems with the Syndicate (labor union) which were gradually worked out.  In January, 1939, Ireta joined me at the sawmill.  "Poor little city girl."  She had to learn to cook on a wood stove, make bread from a start, get along without a refrigerator or inside bathroom.  After a while we had a few of those comforts:  inside plumbing, a piano, and a gas (butane) refrigerator.  We had learned to appreciate such taken-for-granted luxuries.
After spending several years with my family at the saw­mill in the mountains of Mexico, I moved my family back to El Paso to take care of my wife's parents' home, President and Mrs. Arwell L. Pierce.  He was called to preside over the Mexican Mission with headquarters in Mexico City.  I was ordained to the office of Seventy and set apart as one of the seven presidents of the 320th Quorum of Seventies.  I filled two stake missions in El Paso, one of those with my wife as my companion.  This work was most rewarding.  When the El Paso Ward was divided, I was called to be the first counselor to the bishop and was a counselor for five years. In 1955 President Spencer W. Kimball ordained me a bishop. Being a bishop was a grand, rewarding experience.  I didn't realize that there was so much difference between a counselor and being bishop.  All the responsibility is placed on your shoulders when you are made a bishop.
During the time that I was a counselor in the bishopric, I had a serious accident,  I was traveling alone from the saw­mill to Cd. Juarez and had to cross three lake bottoms in my Jeep.  It had been raining and even though I was alone in the Jeep, I was warned and it sounded like someone sitting at my side who said, "Slow down."  I thought it unusual, but I slowed down a bit; then the same voice told me the second time and I slowed down more, but apparently not enough because things happened so fast that when I awakened I found myself with the Jeep upside down on top of me, my shoulders pinned to the ground in the mud.  My right leg was holding the Jeep up with the help of my suitcase.  I managed to get out and walked about a mile toward a ranch house.  A pickup truck with three men in it came by and helped me turn the Jeep up onto its wheels.  I drove the Jeep into Cd. Juarez.  My leg had to be put into a cast from ankle to hip because of the great amount of pain from pulled ligaments.  My leg hurt so bad that I didn't realize the damage that I received in my back.  The biggest or most important lesson that I learned in this experience was, when the Spirit of the Holy Ghost gives you a warning, you had better take it.  One other im­portant thing to me was my telling my Father in Heaven if He would see me out of this predicament and save my life, I would be willing to do any and all things that He wanted me to do.  I feel there was a purpose in saving my life at that time, for I have continued in His service for many years and am willing now to do anything that He desires me to do.
I am so very grateful for a wonderful wife and mother of my children.  The Lord has blessed us with seven wonderful spirits.  I am sure the two (Maureen and Kurt) who have been taken back were taken for a noble purpose and that they were
313
both needed there.  We are grateful for having them as long as we did.  All of our children are active in the Church and those who are married are raising their children up to have a true testimony of the truthfulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
I have witnessed many faith-promoting experiences in my life, as a bishop, stake president, and as a mission presi­dent.  The mission was a wonderful experience for both my wife and me. We worked so close together with our mission­aries in the West Mexican Mission.  They worked hard, for they witnessed fruitful results in the great number of our Heavenly Father's children accepting baptism and confirmation in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  Complete new fields of labor were opened up by putting missionaries in towns that had never had LDS missionaries before.  I served as president of the El Paso Stake for nine years, from 1965 to 1974. When I was released as stake president, Elder Bruce R. McConkie ordained me a Patriarch.

Clara Ellen Turley Radovich Olsen
I, Clara Ellen Turley was born Nov. 22, 1901 in Colonia Juarez, Mexico, the daughter of EDWARD FRANKLIN TURLEY and ANNIE SARIAH MARTINEAU WALSER, previously married to Henry Samuel Walser who was killed in a sawmill accident Oct. 12, 1897). My parents were married Jan. 6, 1901 in Colonia Juarez by Apostle George Teasdale.
I was baptized Nov. 27, 1909 by my father in the river
that coursed through the middle of Colonia Juarez by the
swinging bridge.  November was a cold month but the waters
felt warm to me.  On July 24, 1912, a Sunday morning, the
sun was shining, but a heart break stillness enveloped the
valley--no Church bells rang that morning--the Mormons were
leaving, having been given 48 hours to clear out. Mother and
seven children left with her worldly goods, all she was al­
lowed to take:  two trunks and a roll of bedding. The people
went by wagons or buggies to Pearson where they were put on
a train to El Paso, Texas.  We were in El Paso a short time.
Then mother went on to Thatcher, Ariz.  After three months she
decided it would be a good idea to go back to Logan, Utah--
her birthplace and a half-brother Charles was living there;
also Lyman in Salt Lake City and sisters Elizabeth Nebeker
and Virginia Sudbury.  My sister Phyllis would not go to Utah,
as she was married to William J. Preston and stayed in Arizona.
Phyllis and Frederick were children of Mother's first marriage
to HENRY SAMUEL WALSER
My brother Frederick was the bread winner, and when World War I came along he enlisted in the Marines. While stationed at Quantico, Virginia twice his units were sent overseas and he was left behind.  He said, "There must be a reason." Three months after he arrived home from the war he was killed in an accident at the Logan Depot.
When I graduated from the 8th grade I was asked to go to Salt Lake and stay with Grandma and Grandpa Martineau. Their health was not good.  I was there about 18 months.  In November, 1918 Mother married Alvin J. Hawkes and I stood as a witness.  I was 17 years old.  Grandmother Martineau died Dec. 5, 1918 and in Jan. I believe o£ 1919 Grandfather went to live with Uncle Lyman and I went there to help care for Grandfather. Later, Grandfather went to live with Aunt Virginia Murphy so I was asked to come and help care for him there.  He died June 24, 1921.  Grandfather (James H. Martineau) was a Patriarch and while I was there--16 months--I was a scribe for nearly 1000 blessings.
July 6, 1921 I was married to Daniel Radovich. We were blessed with three children:  Dan, Dale, and Donna. Dan died May 12, 1936. His temple work was done and I was sealed to him May 24, 1940 in the Salt Lake Temple.  Dan and Dale both served in World War II.  Donna got her M.D. at Columbia University in New York and while working on her Doctorate she married John W. Christensen, Chief Research Engineer for C.B.S.
318
On Sept. 4, 1954 I married Frank W. Olsen.  Frank died from a heart attack Sept. 29, 1972.I am still living in Tooele, Utah.
My oldest son, Daniel C. lives in Ogden, Utah.  He works for Ogden City Roads and Highways Div.  His son Daniel lives in Santa Clara, Calif, and works for Automotive Laboratory Div. of Spectre Physics-Science-Lazer Computer's etc.  His daughter Bethany lives in Portland, Oregon.  Her husband, Paul C. Rawlins, works for the telephone Company.  They have two little girls, Megan and Jessica.
My son Dale lives in Midvale, Utah.  He has retired from Hill Air Force Base in Ogden, Utah.  His wife Helen has re­tired from Hercules-Bacchus Works at Bacchus, Utah.  Their son Dale is a C.P.A. at Utah State Capitol.  He works for the State Auditor of Utah.  His wife Sheri has her Master Degree in Education.
My daughter Donna May is married to John W. Christensen and lives in New Canaan, Conn.  Her husband John is Senior Vice President of C.B.S. Laboratory Inc.  Donna is active in the Church and is a Board Member of various clubs.  She also teaches in an art studio in New York City.  Their son John is at Harvard specializing in architecture and perhaps a side line of sculpture.  Their son Craig W. is at M.I.T.  He will have an academic degree in Electrical-Engineering.  In one more year he will have his masters and bachelors degree.  He works during the summer months for R.C.A.  Their daughter Carlyn II. graduated from Harvard.  She will be married soon in the Washington D.C. Temple to Jay Szalanski.  They will go to Seattle, Washington to live.  There she will be studying in medical field and public health.

Walter Boyd Turley
Walter Boyd Turley. son of EDWARD FRANKLIN and ANNIE SARIAH MARTINEAU WALSER TURLEY was born Oct. 22, 1903 in Colonia Juarez, Mexico.  In July 1912 along with his mother two sisters and five brothers, he moved to Logan, Utah where he finished his schooling, graduating from high school.  In­stead of going on to college he decided to help his new step­father and work on the farm. He was married to Edna Pickett of Providence, Utah Nov. 18, 1925. They stayed on
in Beaver Dam, Utah until 1928 and moved to Blue Creek, Utah where he and another young farmer, Tom Roberts, were taken in as partners by his stepfather, ARVIN J. HAWKES . Walter became disappointed in the arrangement and so took his share of the crop and bought a small farm near Downey, Idaho. While plowing on some rocky ground he was thrown and was se­verely injured. After recuperating in the hospital in Pocatello, Idaho he found that he couldn't handle all the heavy work and so sold the little farm and bought and leased some land in Pocatello Valley, part in Idaho and part in Utah.  He used hired help on the farm and was prospering with good crops and his family.  The four boys were getting to the age where they could help on the farm.  Their first child, Marian, was born Nov. 30, 1926.  She died July 10, 1928. Walter began losing weight and went into the Tremonton Hospital where he died July 4, 1935 with cancer of the liver.  It is thought that the accident while plowing could have caused the cancer. He lived a good clean life and was active in church work wherever he lived and was a good example for his family, friends, hired help and all with whom he associated. At his funeral there were five speakers--coming from different wards where he had previously lived and participated.

This picture, though not labeled, was included with the Walter Boyd Turley material and some could be his sons.

Aubrey Franklin Turley was born to EDWARD F. and ANNIE S. TURLEY on May 25, 1906.
We were driven out of Mexico during the revolution of 1912 but I still have many fond memories of my six years in Mexico. As kids we could speak their language and we played and en­joyed the family association.  We left by train for El Paso, Texas where we stayed in a lumber yard and sheds for a while. My mother received transportation by train to Thatcher, Ariz. where Mother, Fred and Phyllis worked at anything they could, picking fruit to other farm work.
We left Arizona for Logan, Utah in Nov. of 1912, arriving in Logan where mother was born.  She had two brothers, Charles and Nephi Martineau and they helped to get us settled in Joe Cowley’s rock house in the Third Ward.  We were about the poor­est people in Utah when we arrived in Logan with only the clothes on our backs.
Clara and Walter; began school but I didn't go until the following year.My School days in Logan were good and I was
323
always able to have a job of some kind to help out.  I went to Arizona Oct. 1, 1919 and stayed with my sister Phyllis who had married William J. Preston in 1912.  She made a good life raising a fine large family.  I worked for Bill one year and then I leased some land from him and began raising cot­ton, hay and lettuce.  After four years I leased the Hockin . . Anderson farm.  I stayed on the Anderson farm until 1925.
On Jan. 15, 1925 I was married to Sarah E. Angle of Thatcher.  We had two children, a daughter Marjorie born May 21, 1926 and a son Marvin Boyd born Nov. 17, 1927.  Our marriage broke up in 1928.  Marjorie and Marvin and families live in Alliquippa, Pennsylvania.  Marjorie married Nick Cavaulas and they have a daughter and a son.  Marvin also married and they have six children.
In 1928 Walter and I purchased 960 acres in Hawkins Basin, Idaho.  During the depression I kept working to keep Walt and Edna and family going while making the crops.  In 1932 we were broke after three crops of wheat under 30? a bushel.  We moved from Idaho to the Whitney Farm in Blue Creek which we leased for 10 years.  In 1934 we purchased a farm in Pocatello Valley, Idaho, a few miles to the north.
Walter came down awful sick in 1934, late in the fall. The following July he passed away and left Edna with four boys. She went to Providence, Utah and stayed at her father's home for a year and then on Febr. 6, 1936 Edna and I were married. I raised Walt's boys like my own.  There was never any dif­ference in the love for them and the love for Max and Judy who came later.  Max W. was born Jan. 7, 1937 and Judith Rae was born April 19, 1940.  Edna was a wonderful mother to all her children and a good wife and homemaker.  She was brought up with a strong belief in the LDS Church and served well in the Primary presidency and Relief Society work in the dif­ferent wards. We had a good life together with our family until she passed away June 9, 1957.  She had lots of friends wherever she lived and I know all of her children loved her and will always cherish her memory.
My good wife Irene and I were married Man. 6, 1961 and we have our home here in Tremonton when we are not at the farm, where we both love to be.  We have leased our farms but we kept our homes so that when we wish we can go out there to live.  Irene has been a good wife to me which I am very thankful for.  She keeps a lovely clean home which we are proud of.  Anyone is always welcome to come in and visit us. Irene is truly a fine cook and everything she does she does very well; her home and surroundings always show it.  She has one son and four daughters, which she is very proud of. I also have a lot of love for them and for the way that they have accepted me and the love they extend to me.
Irene and I are both past our seventies, so we try to enjoy our Church and all it does for us.  We have traveled a lot in the U.S., Canada, and Pacific Isles and we want to do a lot more if we can be blessed with good health such as we have had.  We are thankful everyday of our lives for the health and strength that we enjoy.
324
We ask the Lord's blessings on all the Turley families and we are grateful for all the wonderful things that have occurred in our lives.

Max Walter Turley
On Jan. 7, 1967, I, Max Walter Turley, was born in Garland, Utah.  My parents had been married a year before after the death of my Uncle Walter—whom I was named after and who was also Mom's first husband.  Dad must have thought the ancient law of Moses was still in effect and was taking care of his deceased brother's wife and family.  I was reared in Garland, having lived in two houses there.  It was not until after I had married and left home that our family home was sold and Dad moved to Tremonton just three miles to the south.  During the summers, however. Dad moved his family to the farm in Pocatello Valley.
I was taught and progressed through the Church Priesthood quorums while living in Garland, having been ordained a Dea­con in Jan. of 1949.  My elementary and high school years were spent in Garland also.  In the spring of 1955 I gradua­ted from Bear River High and enrolled in Utah State Agricul­tural College in the fall.  After two years I dropped out to spend the next two years in Australia in missionary service. Upon completion of that service I returned to Utah State and received my B.S. in Agronomy in 1962,  I then preceded to work towards my M.S. in Agronomy and Plant Breeding until 1964:  I had met Tanya Burningham from Nyssa, Oregon in Oct. of 1963  we were married on April 7, 1964.  During my stay at Utah State I served in the USU Student llth Ward for three years as counselor to the bishop.  After we were mar­ried we left immediately for Fort Bliss, Texas and one year later for Fort Rucker, Alabama for two years in the military service.  Upon discharge, I started work for Utah-Idaho Sugar Company in Salt Lake City, Utah, and was then trans­ferred to Washington state, back to Salt Lake and then to Idaho Falls, Idaho in the spring of 1974.
At the present time we have seven children:  Brandon Todd, age 12; Darren Scott, 10; Tiffany, 8; Shannon, 6; Taralyn, 4; Adam Brent, 2; and Cameron, 1 year.  We now reside at 888 Dennis Circle, Idaho Falls, Idaho.

Judith Rae Turley Cragun
I, Judy Turley Cragun was born in Tremonton, Utah on April 19, 1940 and raised in the small northern Utah town of Garland—first in a small white frame home, then to a large brick home on Main Street in about 1945.  Daddy was a farmer in Pocatello Valley, Idaho, about 35 miles north­west of Garland.  Summers were spent on the farm but we al­ways moved back into town when school started in the fall. Life on the farm was a great experience for me.  I was a tom­boy and dearly loved the outdoors and working with my dad and brothers.  I suppose my mother was at times disappointed when her only daughter showed no feminine interests.  There was much fun along with much hard work—riding on cow's backs, rotten egg fights, horseback riding, learning to drive at age 9, etc.  But the many hours of hard work are still in my mind—clearing a new piece of hill land of rocks day after day, come custom baling we did for others on steep ground, early morning to late night hours, many years of hauling wheat to the granaries. My dad always told me I was as good to him as any hired hand could be.
Church has always been a part of my life. My father was not always active but was a good man and always wanted the best for his children. Mother was a strong, active member. We always attended meetings together and did what was expected of us.  Primary was always extra special too and still is. One of the things I remember most is my mother teaching me "to always accept a job in the church as the Lord knows what
326
is best for us." And she lived this herself:  I remember many callings in which she felt so inadequate but I know we could all see the growth in her.  I graduated from Seminary and also Institute.
I went to Utah State in 1958 and am grateful for my college experiences as it was the first time I really got out into a mixed religion environment.  I completed three years of schooling on my way to become an elementary school teacher. While at Utah State in my junior year, a blind date was set up by my roommate and while getting ready to go that night I told my roommates that I felt like I was going to meet that night the man I would some day marry.  That bit of inspiration came true eleven months later on Oct. 25, 1961. I became the bride of Gerald Carber Cragun from Ogden, Utah in the Logan Temple. He had graduated from Utah State that June in mathematics and was employed with Civil Service in California.  He was a returned missionary and a fine young man--just what I had pictured in my mind as my future husband.
We immediately moved to Oxnard, Cal. to begin our mar­ried life.  Kevin was born there a year later, followed by Bruce 14 months afterward.  We also bought our first home at this time in Camarillo, Cal. and it was a time of great hap­piness for us.  In 1963 Gerry joined IBM and we soon found out what IBM stands for:  I've Been Moved.  First to El Paso, Texas; then to San Bernardino on a temporary assignment; then to El Paso again; Santa Maria, Cal.; and to Las Cruces, New Mexico. We stayed there almost three years, then to Upland, Cal.; Denver, Colo.; and to Manassas, Virginia in 1974.  Alan was born in Upland with a condition known as apraxia--inabil-ity to coordinate his muscles in tongue and lips.  So he still

327
has a speech problem and is going to a special school because of it.  David joined us in Denver and Matthew was born in Manassas.  The joy we felt in early marriage was shallow in comparison to the joy we have with seven sweet spirits to bless our home. Moving has been a great experience for us in many ways and we have enjoyed it.  It has had its dis­advantages, of course.
Church activity is still the center of our life.  Gerry has been MIA counselor. Elders Quorum president, executive secretary. Adult Aaronic secretary, teacher development di­rector, Bishop's counselor, and Bishop of Manassas Ward.  I have worked in ward and stake MIA in executive positions, Primary president and counselor, Relief Society teacher, Primary teacher, Relief Society nursery leader, and Primary Inservice Leader. My two boys have both held positions of leadership in the Deacons Quorum and Scout troops.  They, and also Lori and Cindy, are piano players.  Bruce has played the bass for 3 years also.  Now he is going into harmonica and guitar.  It is exciting to see them grow and develop. Both Kevin and Bruce should be Eagle Scouts by the end of 1977
Yes, I am a Cragun now, but I will always be proud of my Turley name. In fact, all five of our sons have Turley for a middle name.

Lawrence Edward Turley
Lawrence was the fourth child of EDWARD FRANKLIN and ANNIE SARIAH MARTINEAU TURLEY.  He remembers the day in July when his mother with her children joined the other Saints in the exodus to El Paso, Texas.  From there his family moved to Logan, Utah.
Lawrence was farmed out to a family on a farm at nine years of age where he learned farm chores and went to school where four grades were taught in one room.  There he worked for his board, room, and clothes.  Lawrence's mother re­married and life became more complex with a step-father whose religion was hard work, long hours and many tasks.  Still Lawrence grew to love farming and the challenge in making the earth produce the necessities of life.  The animal life on the farm fascinated him as he watched the animals grow and mature, all except the milk cows.  Milking he grew to dislike.
He left home at 16 to work on a dry farm in western Utah. He attended Brigham Young College one winter, worked in mines in Ariz., and met his future wife in Glenbar, Ariz. while working for and with his older brother.  Lawrence and Florence McBride were married in the Salt Lake Temple April 23, 1930. They lived in Logan, Utah for 14 years where he worked as a carpenter, policeman, mail clerk and carrier.  Gun-smithing and sporting goods business took him to Brigham City, Utah for 9 years where he built custom rifles for sportsman the country over and gained a national rating as a gun-smith.
328
To make a better living for his family he learned the machinist trade.  To relieve a severe rheumatic condition they moved to Mesa, Arizona where he established Turley Industries Mfg. Corp.
Church activities for Lawrence have been varied:  Scout Master, Elders Quorum instructor, High Pries* Group Leader and instructor, Sunday School teacher, High Priest Quorum presidency, ward teacher, assistant ward clerk, Genealogical Coun., chairman, and advisor. When Lawrence started his serious genealogical activity in 1958, Florence started with him.  Since then they have worked together in most phases of genealogical work.  Of course the crowning achievement was the call to the Branch Library in Mesa where they worked together for 5 years.  The weekly genealogical work shops held in their home for 15 years was Florence's joy, where she helped hundreds of people start Books of Remembrance.
A rewarding service began in Dec., 1958 when Lawrence was voted President of the Turley Family Organization serving two years.  The same year he instigated the Family Newsletter, and continued its publication through approximately 14 years. Under the direction of Viola Turley Haws he helped spear­head the requests for material for this Turley Book.

Ester Turley McClellan
ESTHER TURLEY, born Jan. 9, 1871 at Beaver, Utah, was the first daughter and second child of ISAAC TURLEY and CLARA ANN TOLTON TURLEY the second wife"!  ESTHER'S grand­parents, the Turleys, Toltons, and the Tomlinsons, all lived in Beaver where ISAAC had been prosperous.  ESTHER remembered very little of her life in Beaver, except how in the winter the wind whistled around the corners of Grandfather Tolton's two-story red brick home and made weird sounds.
Due to much persecution because of polygamy, many fam­ilies were "called" on colonization missions, and ESTHER'S father was called with the Daniel W. Jones Company to help settle on the Salt River in Arizona which was a Territory in 1877, and the area was desert wilderness—barren wasteland. ISAAC TURLEY's first wife, "AUNT SARAH" and her family of 5 boys were in the first company to the Salt River March 6, 1877, but due to her health and the extreme heat, their mis­sion was changed to the Little Colorado River at St. Joseph (Allen's Camp) near Sunset or Brigham City, where they joined the United Order.
ESTHER'S father sold his possessions in Beaver and left Utah with his second family in November 1877 with 3 new wag­ons loaded with flour and provisions, one new buggy, 150 head of cattle, 75 band of horses, and their children: EDWARD F., ESTHER, FRANCES, EARNEST, and IDA MAE.  ESTHER'S mother drove one team and her father had two teams of horses on his large wagon, with a trailwagon attached.  ED helped drive the stock while riding his pony, and the rest rode with their mother--ESTHER holding the sick baby.  They went from Beaver to Panguitch, up the Sevier River, over the mountains to Long Valley, and across the Buckskin Mountains.  On Dec. 9, while going down the last five-mile steep hill or grade on the east side, CLARA's  5 1/2 month old baby died as ESTHER held her.  They made camp as soon as they could and CLARA and SARAH GALE stayed up all night, with coyotes howling around their camp, making burial clothes while some of the men went 10 miles for
338
water. After burying the completely frozen-through body of little IDA MAE before sunrise, they drove on to House Rock Springs,  In telling her story, ESTHER remembered water trickling through the rocks at House Rock Springs where they filled their barrels and saw where many people had written their names on the walls of reddish color.  Then on to ferry across the Colorado River at Lee's Ferry--a hair-raising experience; then on to Navajo Springs, then Bitter Springs on Christmas Day, and ate New Year's Dinner (1878) around the Big Table at Sunset Camp where Lot Smith and his people were living the United Order.  They reached St. Joseph (now Joseph City) on ESTHER'S 7th birthday and settled 5 miles below St. Joseph where she started school and attended for three years.  ESTHER said, "I can remember taking my little bucket to the Commissary to get our milk." They had lots of innocent fun—gathering short boards to make play houses, etc.; "mine leaned against our home."
On May 7, 1881, ESTHER'S father withdrew from the United Order and moved 45 miles away to Snowflake for 5 years.  Here ESTHER attended school, went to Mutual, joined the Ward Choir at age 12, and worked and played.
Again for protection in living religious principles, it was necessary to move, so in the spring of 1885, ESTHER'S father took AUNT SARAH and her family to Old Mexico.  ISAAC TURLEY. Ernest L. Taylor and Peter N. Skousen were the orig­inal settlers of Colonia Juarez.  I. TURLEY was assigned to head the group and Camp Turley, on the outskirts of the town of Casas Grandes, was founded in March 1885 and abandoned Dec. 7, 1885.  The first birth in New Juarez was James Skousen on Jan. 27, 1886.  Then on May 3, 1886, ESTHER'S father met her mother and her family at Fort Apache (a 2-3 days' drive from Snowflake in that day).  They lost some of their furni­ture crossing the Black River and Chief Geronimo and his Apache Indians gave them a few scares, but they enjoyed a day or two at Pima and Central, Arizona.  They arrived at String Town (now Quatemoc, Mexico) on May 27, 1886 on the Piedras Verdes (Green Rocks) River.  Thirty families camped on Governor Luis Terrazas' Ranch during the summer while the Church completed negotiations for purchase of land.  The birthday of Benito Juarez was celebrated March 21, 1886, but rumor proved true that the colonists had settled on San Diego property instead of on the del Campo purchase—two miles to the north between the narrow hills through which the Piedras Verdes River trickled.  By Jan. 1887 families began moving to the new townsite, and then came the earthquake which caused the Saints to exclaim "God moves in a mysterious way" when they discovered that nature's gigantic spasms had opened new fissures and springs of water all along the river's course and there was plenty of water for the Mormons and natives, too, and all were better off.  The new townsite was dedicated Jan. 1, 1887 and named Juarez after the famous Mexican patriot and general.
About Oct. 15, 1886 someone at a big "Young Folks Party" held at the tent home of Uncle Sextus E. Johnson in String Town (Stink Town) saw to it that Dave (David A.) McClellan
339
and ESTHER TURLEY became acquainted.  It was love-at-first-sight for him and she was strongly attracted to him, even for her tender age.  Time passed and feelings deepened until they became betrothed for some time when he was prepared to take care of her.  Circumstances worked out that they would have company traveling to a temple if they married by spring, so they settled on March 13, 1888 and had their Wedding Dance on the 14th, and left Juarez that night for Manti Temple by team and wagon, and were sealed July 5, 1888..  They left Utah for home on Oct. 5th and arrived at Colonia Juarez Dec. 5, 1888 in a wagon that had no springs on the seat or in the wagon, so the riding was rough—no paved roads.  Their first child was born Jan. 30, 1889, almost on the spot where her parents were married.
DAVE had bought a lot in Feb. 1887 and had planted trees, grapes, etc.; but they had little else to start married life. It wasn't long before an adobe dwelling was on the way, but the wagon box served as their bedroom and their stove and table were under a shed until facilities grew.  Things of this earth came hard for this couple, but the jewels of eternity were showered upon them by the dozen.
In April 1904, DAVE left for the South Western States Mission with child number 9 small and seven children at home; both privations and blessings were great during the next 25 months. ESTHER and her family worked hard selling grape juice and making cheese for Mexican soldiers to raise money to keep their missionary. When he returned, he resumed work on a story-and-a-half red-brick home.  Lean-toos had been added to the adobe room as the family grew until when the eleventh child came along, she was born in the unfinished house with one room closed in for better comfort of mother and babe in the November cold.
Due to economic conditions and political unrest in the Mexican government in Juarez, DAVE and ESTHER decided to join some Saints in the state of Sonora; so in Feb. 1919, they moved to San Jose. As the baby wasn't doing well, ESTHER and the smaller children moved to Colonia Morrelos in the fall to be nearer a doctor and the older children could go to school. Life was terribly hard for ESTHER in San Jose and Morelos with DAVE working at Pearson to furnish money to fill their needs.  Probably due to overwork and stresses, ESTHER was • troubled with indigestion and the doctor had her eat un­leavened crackers.  By a special process, ESTHER made her own, which was a real accomplishment and they were very good, which took care of her problem. Another baby girl (#12) was delivered May 31, 1912, and on Aug. 21st was the great exodus from Mexico.  At San Jose and Morelos they farmed mostly wheat, had peanuts and a good garden.  ESTHER baked bread (and/or biscuits) for the Mexican soldiers--100 pesos in three weeks' time.  Pioneering in Mexico was just a continua­tion of the hardships they had endured in Arizona.
DAVID and ESTHER with 8 children crossed "the line" or "border" at Agua Prieta into Douglas, Ariz. where they re­mained in "Tent City" (tents furnished by Uncle Sam) for two months.  Child number eleven was never very strong and became.
340
so ill the Bishop advised that she get to the LDS Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City as soon as possible. ESTHER took Ivis to care for Fulvia, the baby, while she took care of Hazel.The anxieties and the trip, beginning Nov. 1, to Salt Lake City, and the following month were almost more than ESTHER could bear, but the Lord came to her rescue in many ways:  friends, money, etc.  ESTHER, Ivis and the baby returned to the family in Tucson Dec. 20th, in time for a very Merry Christmas—a decorated mesquite tree, with picked cotton for snow, and family love and warmth.  After DAVE and others had cleared a large tract of desert land, the owner wouldn't keep the agreement, so ESTHER'S family went back to Douglas in Febr. 1913, hoping to be able to return to their home in Mexico.  ESTHER'S eldest son, David, had moved to Tempe, and wrote for his folks to join him in the Salt River Valley.  They left Douglas on Aug. 23, 1913 for Tempe, stayed a few days there, moved to Mesa for 2 weeks, and on Oct. 4 moved to Chandler where dairy work and farming, and life in general, was hard in those early days.  In Oct. 1913, the older girls got jobs and worked.  In 1914, ESTHER became a counselor in the ward Primary and taught a Sunday School class of boys.  In Dec. 1914, DAVE's health became so poor he was unable to work.  Living in a tent with a big family in desert country was extremely hard, especially at dust-storms seasons.  Early in 1915, ESTHER learned of a 12 x 18 foot frame building for sale, but the family had no money. In the spring, ESTHER and her children chopped mesquite trees down and into fire-wood and sold it to purchase the building which served them well as long as they remained in Chandler. Among hair-raising experiences while there were run-away horses on buggies, kerosene lamps that exploded, rattlesnakes, gila monsters, coyotes, lizards, etc.
In 1916, when genealogical work started in earnest in Chandler, ESTHER was a genealogical visiting teacher for a long time.  On Dec. 31, 1916, she became second counselor to the Relief Society President (Adelaide Peterson) while still serving as a Primary Counselor.  Before long she was doing free nursing in homes as part of her Relief Society assign­ments.  On Jan. 21, ESTHER became the Chandler Ward's third Relief Society President. About Nov. 1918, the frame chapel was set afire and burned to the ground, and the Relief Soc­iety topped maize by hand, picked cotton, made and sold quilts, and did all sorts of work to raise funds for the new chapel and the Relief Society Organization.  ESTHER was released as Relief Society president on Feb. 20, 1921.
ESTHER was an extremely frugal woman and did all she could to help her husband provide for the big family. While in Mexico she made and sold bread, cheese, boys' suits, men's work clothing (jumpers and overalls); did dressmaking, nursing, and dried and canned fruit for sale.  On the "Walker Ranch" in Chandler in the '20's, she made and sold butter, raised and sold blackberries, and shipped hundreds of turkeys to the markets in Los Angeles. When they first moved here, DAVE raised ribbon or sorghum sugar-cane, and made sorghum and molasses that was "out of this world" on hot bread, cold bread, or just licking the spoon.  He also raised maize for
341
the stock, chickens, ducks and turkeys, and at times it was hard to keep the turkeys out of the grain patch.
After ten years on the farm, they had bad luck again, and in March 1928, they moved to Mesa where they built a small home for the rest of their days.  DAVE was custodian for Second Ward for years, and ESTHER helped him.  In Mesa, off the farm, they now had time for the finer things of life and things they wanted to do.  They both spent a great deal of time and effort in genealogical and temple work.  It was here that DAVE made his hobby of pioneer miniatures. ESTHER, even though having exceptionally large hands for a woman, made exquisite items in crocheting, knitting, tatting, needlepoint, embroidering, quilts, etc.  She had taken paint­ing lessons in Mexico from Maggie Bentley, and in the summer of 1947 she took ceramics while in Salt Lake City and made beautiful items.  She was well known as a good cook, especi­ally making bread, cakes, pies, butter, canning fruit, meat, pickles, garden produce, etc.
ESTHER had great faith in the Priesthood's healing power. While in Mexico in her early married life, she was instantly healed of Scarlet Fever and numberless are the times that she and members of her family were blessed and protected by Priest­hood powers.  She was extremely well-versed in the Scriptures, and enjoyed choir work in Mexico, Chandler, and Mesa Second Ward.  She was always faithful about seeing that her children got to Sunday School, Primary and their church meetings.  In 1916 ESTHER had a dream that caused her to realize her respon­sibility to her dead ancestors, and from then on she was zeal­ous in the work—performing over a thousand ordinances for women and sponsoring the men's work for the couples.
ESTHER was a typical pioneer woman in many ways, espec­ially in means of travel.  She went by team and wagon from: Beaver, Utah to Arizona; Arizona to Old Mexico; Juarez to Manti Temple and back to Juarez; Juarez to Morelos and San Jose; and Morelos to Douglas.  Then from Douglas to Salt Lake City and back to Tucson she rode the train.  Then Tucson to Douglas and to Salt River Valley by team and wagon.  She also traveled to Salt Lake City and back by airplane, and enjoyed radio and television, and for a while had a Ford car that she drove.
She lived to be 92 1/2 years old, with poor health the last twenty years, and passed away on July 10, 1963 in Mesa, Ariz.

Clara Estella McClellan Bradshaw
Clara Estella was born Jan. 30, 1889 in Colonia Juarez, Mexico, the first child of DAVID ALVIN and ESTHER TURLEY Mc-CLELLAN.  Stella had a typical grammar school education and a small town early childhood and was a student at Juarez Academy for two years.  She married Samuel Silas Bradshaw Oct. 9, 1906 and was sealed in Salt Lake Temple Oct. 10, 1907. Elzina Ruth was born June 29, 1907 at Fort Apache, Ariz. where the Bradshaw family was operating the laundry for the Army Post.  After 15 months the family returned to Colonia Juarez so they could have a farm and where Leonard was born Dec. 14, 1908.  The next move was to San Jose, Mexico, where Horace Isaac was born Oct. 26, 1910 and died of pneumonia Dec. 12.  Ira McDay was born June 16, 1912 in Colonia Morelos. The Revolution forced the Saints to leave Mexico and the fam­ily went to Douglas Ariz. and lived in 'Tent City.'  Clara was born in Douglas Nov. 6, 1913 and the family moved to Tucson and to different ranches.  There was some serious illness and other trials and the family then moved to Virgin, Utah. Tony Bernard was born there Febr. 1, 1916 and in October, Sam was sustained Bishop of the Virgin Ward.  Silas arrived June 29, 1917 but his and other illnesses forced a move to Huntington Beach, Calif.
The family arrived in Mesa, Ariz. in 1918 and lived in various places in Phoenix, Chandler and Mesa.  Little Silas was taken Jan. 26, 1918.  Cecile was born Jan. 13, 1920 at the ranch on Baseline Road where the Japanese now grow the   beautiful flowers.  This ranch was taken from the family by fraud and the family then moved to the McClellan ranch in Chandler where Niles was born in a tent house July 31, 1921. A fruitless trip and wasted effort to St. Johns took three  , . months and upon our return to Mesa Sam began work helping to build the Arizona Temple.  He helped in almost every phase of the temple construction, from foundation until the last stone column was placed.  Orley joined the family Oct. 6, 1923 and Rodney March 15, 1925 in Mesa.  Selling cookware occupied several years of Sam's life and a short trip to Og-den, Utah ended when the crash of 1929 brought disaster to the family finances.  Edward Neldon was born Aug. 24, 1928 and Anita Joy Aug. 26, 1931.  The family moved to 239 East First Street, Mesa, and lived there 36 years until the prop­erty was sold to Berge Ford.
Stella was a hard-working pioneer mother of the church-­raising Her family without any of the modern conveniences which are commonplace today.  She lost her hearing a few years after her marriage and when the family was able she finally obtained a used hearing-aid.  Sam worked hard to provide for the family. A bad back and paralysis in his later years kept him more or less disabled.  He passed away July 12, 1968 in his 84th year. Stella gradually wore down from a heart and lung condition and joined her departed family members on May 21, 1976 in Mesa, Ariz.  Her living descen­dants numbered 9 children (of 13), 65 grandchildren and 137 great-grandchildren. All of the grandchildren and great­grandchildren that were born alive are still living.

Elzlna Ruth Bradshaw Ellsworth
Ruth was the first child born to Estella McClellan and Samuel Bradshaw. also the first , white child born at Fort Apache, Arizona.  She was delivered by the Army doctor, Dr. H.M. Smith, at 4:00 a.m. June 29, 1907. Her parents were running a laundry at the Fort at that time. When the Fort closed in 1908 the family moved to the Mormon Col­onies in Chihuahua, Mexico.  In 1912, because of the Mexican Revolution they returned to the United States.  The family was very poor and moved often to wherever they could find work.
Ruth had two years of high school in Chandler and Mesa, then went to work to help the family which then numbered eight. She and her brother Leonard bought a piano and made their home into a gathering place for young people.
In her nineteenth year she met Lloyd H. Ellsworth.  They were married in the Arizona Temple on Febr. 8, 1928.  The depression years came soon after their marriage.  During this time Lloyd managed farms for the bank and made ends meet by raising calves.  Lloyd supported his family by farming, also sheep and cattle raising in the Mesa area.  Ruth and Lloyd had four sons and two daughters: Lloyd Reed, Harry Lynn, Day Burr, Samuel Glenn, Rebecca, and Clara Ann.  The four sons completed missions and all six children were married in the temple.
Ruth spoke so often of the power of prayer in her life. She was always active in her church work. At 13 she was in charge of the cradle roll in Sunday School, and at 16 was secretary of the Primary.  She sang in duets and in church and choir groups.  For a number of years she was Sunday School secretary and spent many years in the Primary presidency. Her most enjoyable position was working in the Arizona Temple as Baptismal Secretary. Much of her work was done so quietly that even her family never knew or realized the service she was rendering.
Ruth was a loyal wife and supported her husband in all of his decisions.  She was a wonderful mother, not only loved by her sons but also by her daughters-in-law.  She remained a faithful daughter all of her life. Her brothers and sis­ters all turned to her for counsel. Ruth was completely un­selfish with her time and talents in and for the serving of others.  She deprived herself of many temporal things in life

through giving to her children and family.  She was loved by everyone who ever knew her and she loved people as they loved her.

Samuel Leonard Bradshaw
Samuel Leonard, the second child of Samuel Silas and Clara Estella McClellan Bradshaw, was born Dec. 14, 1908 at Colonia Juarez, Mexico.In 1910 the family moved to San Jose and later to Morelos, both in the state of Sonora, Mexico. In Aug. 1912, due to a political revolution, the settlers escaped by crossing "the Line" or "Border" at Agua Prieta into the U.S. for safety and Leonard's first home in the States was in Tent City at Douglas, Ariz. After leaving Douglas and in trying to get established, the family did a lot of travel­ing and retracing steps before settling in Virgin City, Utah in 1915 for about two years, then to California for a short time before coming to Salt River Valley in 1917 where they lived in Chandler, Phoenix and then Mesa.
Leonard has choice memories of happenings in Mexico in 1911, and others periodically along the years.  One was that he was ordained a Deacon on Dec. 21, 1919 (one month after he became 11 years of age) by Bishop J.R. Price, and served as President of the Deacons and Teachers Quorums.  In May 1929 he was called on a Mexican Mission to serve under Pres. Ray L. Pratt in Texas.  Soon after his release he was ordained a Seventy and was called to the Council of the 90th Quorum of Seventies in the Maricopa Stake and completed two stake missions.  In May 1934 he married and moved to Cal. where he served on the Council of Seventies in the Long Beach Stake.  After completing two stake missions, in June 1940 he was called to be Long Beach Stake Mission President for two years, after which he was called into the Wilmington Ward Bishopric for about two years.  In 1960 he served as branch president of the Hopi Indian Branch at Polacca, Ariz. under Pres. Baird.  Later he served as branch clerk in Vic­tory Acres for a short time. At one time he was secretary to the High Priests Quorum in Maricopa Stake and High Priest class instructor over many years.
As a boy, Leonard helped in farm work, raising rabbits, cotton, chickens, and did the regular chores.  On May 16, 1934 he and Billie Carter from Idaho were sealed in the Ariz. Temple and from this union there were four children:  Samuel Leonard Jr., Jeneane LaRue, Teddy Sue and Charles Ira.
On June 23, 1950 Leonard and Ellen I. Haymore Johnson were sealed in the Arizona Temple and from this union there were:  Robert Lynn, Franklin Gene, James Loren and Bret Alan; and Ellen's two children by her previous marriage were adopted and sealed to them: Walter Dean and Leslie Willis.

Orley Jay Bradshaw
I was born Oct. 6, 1923 in Mesa, Arizona at home (105 S. Pomeroy St.).- I was named after Orley S. Stapley and was the tenth of 13 children.  I was baptized Oct. 31, 1931 in the Arizona Temple by Wendel B. Price.  I graduated from Primary in 1935.  The teacher I remember was Clara Emmett.
350
Some early experiences in my life were going to the "dredge" during the summer, and going to the Rendezvous pool and sliding on the moss during the winter.  We also used to play in the old silo where the Bishops Regional Storehouse now is.  I attended school in Mesa:  Irving, Franklin and Mesa High, graduating in 1942.
I went to California and worked in the shipyards in San Pedro,  I met Peggy Tanner and was drafted into the Navy in Feb., 1943.  Spent time in San Diego, Long Beach and 1 1/2 years in the South Pacific and Philippines, Formosa, Shanghai and Hong Kong, China, while serving on a minesweeper.  I returned from the war, married Peggy on March 20, 1946 and lived in Calif, for 1 1/2 years before moving to Mesa.  I worked for the City of Mesa, Char-Rod Mercantile Co., and was called back to active duty in the Navy in May 1950 for 18 months.  I was at Oakland, Calif; Bremerton, Wash.; and Norfolk, Va. while serving on the Heavy Cruiser USS Quincy. After my discharge from the Navy in Sept., 1952, I worked for the Mesa Schools as Bookstore Manager at Mesa Jr. High, Mesa High and Westwood High until 1963.  I have also worked at Harmans Kentucky Fried Chicken, Sentinel Safety Supply in Phoenix, Salt River Project, bookstore manager at Glendora High School, Calif., and at Mesa High from 1969-71.  I have been a computer oper­ator at ASU since 1971.
We have four daughters: Vicki, married to Kayle McNeil with 3 sons and 1 daughter; Lee Ann, married to Mike Billings with 1 daughter and 1 son; Janet, married to David Ashley last May; and Shelley, a senior at Westwood High. My hobbies are sports and (used to be) flying.  I've been to Salt Lake with winning teams in basketball, softball and volleyball. I had a private pilot's license and flew for about two years. My Church positions have been YMMIA superintendent, first counselor in YMMIA, assistant ward clerk, ward Executive Secretary, and am presently ward athletic director.

David Alvin McClellan, Jr.
Second child and eldest son of DAVID ALVIN and ESTHER TURLEY McCLELLAN, David was born in Colonia Juarez, Mexico on Nov. 27, 1890. There was nothing unusual about my child­hood life that I know of.  My parents were poor and acquainted with the hardships of pioneer life.  They were both third-generation members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and staunch members of the Church, always active. They were the parents of nine girls and three boys.
When only a small boy the one game or pastime I rem­ember was spool-horse ranching with my Uncle ISAAC TURLEY. Of course he was the big rancher and had large herds of cat­tle and horses.  (Grandma made more quilts, emptying more spools than my mother did.)  A little later, the swimming-hole was a lot more attractive than that patch of weeds that didn't know when to quit growing.  During my twelfth year my father was supervisor of the Deacons and I was constantly after him to let me attend Deacons meeting.  But I knew what his answer would be until he fooled me one time and said I could go that one time.  Later, I was counselor in the Deacons Quorum and then in the Teachers Quorum.  I well remember the children's dances that we had under Apostle Teasdale's super­vision, and at least one Primary play:  ""The Gathering of All Nations." I started school a few months before six. I was "skipped" a time or two, then finishing one semester in the tenth grade and my schooldays just after turning eight­een.  After finishing the ninth grade I was out of school two years doing team-work of all kinds, including rock for foundations, sand and clay for mortar, lumber from the saw­mills in the mountains, brick from the brickyard after I had worked to help make brick.  I also tended mason while Father did the foundation and bricklaying.  Then came the carpenter work.  That is where I began my life's work of fifty-five years
As I write this (Dec. 1976) I think of those two years as very important ones of my life: I learned to work and that hard work was no disgrace even though many people shun it-­steer away from it. My physical development was very good. At eighteen I weighed one hundred seventy four pounds which has been my constant weight throughout my life.
In March 1909 I went with Father to get started on a fifty-acre farm that he had bought in Sonora, about ten miles north of Colonia Morelos.  The family stayed in Colonia Juar­ez for about a year before going to Sonora.  They lived in
353
Morelos so the children could be in school.  I lived part of the time with Bradshaws and part of the time alone until I was married in March 1911 to Hortense Langford.  Farming was not too much of a success due to the uncertainty of condi­tions for which the Mexican Revolution was responsible.  Du­ring July and August of 1912 the four thousand or so LDS members of the eight Colonies were forced to leave Mexico for their personal safety.  Those three and a half years were very beneficial to me because of the many opportunities offered by living in a small church community.  After leaving Mexico I took my family to Salt Lake City where we were sealed in the temple on Oct. 2, 1912.  In December 1912 we went back to Tucson;  Then six months later to Tempe, then Mesa, Chandler, and in late 1921 we moved to Los Angeles where we lived for twenty-five years.  It was then my wife and I separated and I went to Farmington, New Mexico where I lived for twenty-seven years.  I worked as a carpenter during my entire time in Los Angeles and Farmington.  My wife Zelma died in Febr. 1971 so I sold all my possessions in Mew Mexico and moved to Mesa where I now reside, arriving here on July 11, 1972.

Vessa McClellan Feel
Vessa was born to DAVID and ESTHER TURLEY McCLELLAN Oct. 13, 1894 in Colonia Juarez, Mexico.  The education she re­ceived was all received in the Colonies—grades 1 through 5 in Juarez.  Due to a serious back injury she did not go to school for four years.  To catch up she finished 6-8th grades
354
in one year after the family moved to Colonia Morelos.  Due to a Revolution in the country and soldiers close by, with a family of mostly girls, the family left Mexico in 1912, entering the United States at Douglas, Ariz., where they were housed in tents furnished by the government until they could get on their feet.  She being the oldest at home at that time, Vessa worked where she could to help out.  The younger ones helped where they could.
It was when the family finally moved to Chandler that she met Rulon S. Peel- They were later married Dec. 26, 1916 in Los Angeles, Calif.  On Jan. 10, 1917 they were married for time and eternity in the Salt Lake Temple.  To this union, seven children were born, two of which lived to maturity.
She was active in church work from her early days and was a person who was very aware of the needs of her fellowmen.  She held many responsible positions in the Church plus finding time to assist in the welfare of six motherless children ages 2 to 16.  She was the only mother the young ones ever knew. She was a great lover of beautiful things:  flowers, crafts, quilts, and poetry.  She was also involved in genealogy work, helping especially the young.
The last four years of her life she was lost and lone­some as she and Rulon had been married 52 years, 1 week when he passed away Jan. 2, 1969.  She passed on into eternal life Dec. 25, 1972 and is buried beside her mate in Memory Lawn Memorial Park in Phoenix, Arizona.

Erma Lucille Peel Cowgill
My schooling began in Chandler for one year, one year in Mesa and the reamining years in Phoenix, graduating from Phoenix Union High School in 1938.  I went to Phoenix Jr. College for the year following.  In 1939-40 I attended Gregg Shorthand School taking a general business course.
On July 24, 1942 I married David Cowgill, a native of California who was stationed at Williams Air Force Base in Chandler, Ariz.  After he completed his service enlistment we moved to Portland, Oregon and he started working for the U.S. Post Office. We were divorced in June 1953.  On getting clearance from the First Presidency of the Church, I served an 18 month mission in Central States (1954-55).  On Oct. 16, 1957 we were remarried in Salt Lake City and came back to Portland to live.  On March 5, 1959 we were blessed with a fine, healthy son:  William Rulon, who will soon be 18.  On April 1, 1970 we suddenly lost David through a cerebral hem­orrhage.  Since that time we have been actively engaged in the service of our Father in Heaven.  I started out at the age of 17 as Primary Secretary when Aunt Ivis was president.  At the present time I am ward librarian and Bill is first coun­selor in his Priests Quorum.  I have been very busy orienting librarians and helping to keep the hub of the ward (the library) moving and improving.
Bill, Erma's son, began his schooling in Vancouver, Washington. In junior and senior high he be­came interested in Audio-Visual equipment and was a member of the National Honor Society.  He grad­uated in 1977 after attending ear­ly morning seminary for four years and playing baseball and football. He was sworn into the U.S. Air Force Ready Reserves on Dec. 30, 1976 preparatory to basic train­ing in San Antonio, Texas in Sept. 1977.  He has been a lead­er in his Aaronic Priesthood Quorums.  Bill has a very fine 6'2" frame and a good solid weight.
William Rulon Cowgill
Maurice Alvin Peel
Maurice was born to Rulon and Vessa Peel Nov. 24, 1924 in Chandler, Ariz.  He was a premature "baby so it was a prob­lem to keep him quiet for the first few years of his life. His schooling began in Phoenix where he continued until he graduated from Phoenix Union High School in 1943.  He was a very good student and was very well liked throughout his life. After he graduated from high school he spent perhaps six weeks in Phoenix Jr. College before joining the Navy V-12 program.  He was sent to Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas for schooling. Again, he was transferred to Corpus Christi, Texas for additional training, finally winding up in Baltimore, Maryland for dental school.  After only a few months he was discharged from the Navy and enrolled in the University of California Dental School in San Francisco, California.
It was while going to school here that he met Lois Yvonne Kisner, who was studying to be a dental hygienist.  They were married May 5, 1951 in Westwood, Calif.  Not being able to have children of their own, they adopted James McClellan Peel born May 25, 1954 in Berkeley, Gal.  They later adopted Carol Lynn Peel, born April 25, 1958 in San Francisco, Cal.
After graduating from dental college and being an assis­tant for another dentist, Maurice started his own office in San Jose, California.  After their marriage, Lois became the dental hygienist.  They were divorced in June of 1969.  On Oct. 17, 1969 he married Kathryn L. Hammond in Montebello, Calif,  She had worked in the office for ten years as recept­ionist.  On Dec. 25, 1970 Maurice passed from this life due to a heart failure.  He was buried in Mission City Memorial Park, Santa Clara, California on Dec. 29, 1970.

Hortense McClellan Fuller
I am grateful for my heritage which has been the mainstay in helping me set my goals.  I am doubly grateful that my beloved great-grandparents were able to recognize the truth and had the courage to accept it and live its sacred principles which caused much persecution and suffering but proved their dedication and steadfastness to the Gospel of our Lord and Savior.
I was born, the eighth child and sixth daughter of a family of three sons and nine daughters, to DAVID ALVIN and ESTHER TURLEY McCLELLAN on Sept. 22, 1900 at Colonia Juarez, Mexico. When I was nine and a half years old, we moved to the state of Sonora and lived in San Jose and/or Morelos until 1912 when wisdom said, "Move out!" "Uncle Sam" gave us a welcome of "Tent City" at Douglas, Arizona. Here at "Camp Harry J. Jones" is where the American Ninth Calvary of all colored men was stationed--the first blacks I had ever seen. Mexicans we were used to, but not "Black Men." Each Sunday the Army Band gave a free concert in the park or grove of trees just east of where we were camped and I learned to enjoy band music. My father was in the Juarez Band and as a child I watched the town holiday parades with the band wagon and its team of white horses.
My father had an offer of work clearing land at Jaynes R.R. Station (Southern Pacific main line) ten miles north of Tucson for the Megenheimer Development Co. He and my brother William left Douglas by team and wagon for Tucson in Oct. 1912, and the work lasted through to early February.  Hazel, our 3-year old sister, was very ill and the doctor and Bishop sent Mother, with her nursing baby Fulvia and an older sister Ivis to babysit her while mother took care of Hazel, to Salt Lake City where she could have proper care"!  This left just my sister Beth and I with our eldest and married sister, Estella Bradshaw, to go by train with their family to Tucson--
358
my first train ride.  One year after entering the United States, we arrived in the Salt River Valley and did various things for a living like raising cotton, dairying, etc.  I had worked in two homes in Douglas and for a friend of my mother's in Chandler in the summer. With living and working conditions as they were, schooling for me was scant and er­ratic, but I did graduate from the eighth grade and had al­most one year of high school, as I married young.
As to Church positions, I was asked to teach the 8-year olds-in Sunday School when I was 13 years of age.  I also was MIA secretary, a Relief Society visiting teacher at 19 years, ward Relief Society secretary, head visiting teacher, and did genealogy visiting and youth genealogy instructor two different times.
In April 1917 I was married to Horace Ralph Fuller of Chandler by our Bishop. Then in June we journeyed to Salt Lake City for our temple sealing on June 7. To this union was born nine children: five sons and four daughters. We lost our eldest son, Horace Alvin at 9 months, but our re­maining children are all married and living scattered about the United States. We have forty grandchildren, 18 great-

grandchildren and 12 married grandchildren.  During our family-raising years, we were faced with various economic climates and some were pretty rugged. All of the children did well in school, graduating from high school; and all four sons graduated from college and did graduate work.
Following the death of my husband on Febr. 4, 1957, I had some extremely rewarding experiences in the working world, beginning at the bakery in the El Rancho Market in Mesa,  Later on I worked at the Mesa General Hospital for nearly ten years and enjoyed my work.  I resigned my job just before my 68th birthday to help Gerald and Robert in putting a "work book", Adamic Lineage, together, as the pro­ject needed another pair of hands.  Since then I have been very busy helping my children and family and friends.

William Ray McClellan,
I, William Ray McClellan, was born on Oct. 15, 1902 in Colonia Juarez, Mexico, the son of DAVID ALVIN and ESTHER TURLEY McCLELLAN. At the age of seven we moved to Colonia Morelos, Sonora where we lived for about a year then we moved onto our farm in San Jose, about ten miles north of Morelos.  It was on this farm that I learned to really work and how to work hauling wheat, going into the hills after cows and working in the garden and other chores. A revolu­tion was going on in Mexico at that time and when conditions became too risky for comfort in August of 1912 we loaded our belongings into two wagons and left for Douglas, Arizona where we were safe from the rebels, and started a new life. After a few months we moved to Tucson where we cleared and plowed forty acres of land hoping to have a new home but a crooked real estate dealer caused us to leave and we moved back to Douglas, where we remained for a few months.  In August of 1913 we moved to Mesa where we made our permanent home, with the exception of fifteen years spent in Chandler where we farmed until we lost out again and moved back to Mesa.
I married Lydia Jane Hancock on Dec. 23, 1924; and on
361
Dec. 18, 1925, our daughter Betty Jane was born in Mesa'. On July 16, 1928 our son, William Ray Jr. was born and passed away the same day caused by the medication my wife was given. On May 14, 1930, our son Roy Alvin was born in Mesa.  On Jan. 11, 1935 our son Donald was born in Mesa and passed away the next day.
I was ordained a Deacon six months before I was 12 years old; then a Teacher at 14; and a Priest at 18.  I was ordained an Elder by 0. S. Stapley in 1927; a Seventy by Oscar A. Kirkham; and a High Priest by Cleon C. Bullock in 1951.  I held the offices of secretary of the Elders Quorum, counselor to the president of the Elders Quorum, president of the Elders Quorum, assistant Sunday School superintendent, Sunday School secretary. High Priests representative for genealogy, ward clerk, stake board in Scouting, and assistant to High Priests Group Leader.  I worked in various capacities in Scouting for 38 years and taught Red Cross First Aid classes for several years and was Chairman of the First Aid Committee in Mesa for 22 years.
My wife Jane has been active all through our married life as a Primary teacher, Primary stake board member, Relief Soc­iety stake board member, Relief Society presidency in the ward, MIA teacher, Sunday School teacher, visiting teacher and was a First Aid Instructor for the Red Cross in the early part of World War II with many of our Mesa people.  She always sup­ported me both in Church work and civic work.  She worked as a cosmetic saleswoman and was a Practical Nurse at S.S. Hosp­ital during World War II.  Prior to World War II, I worked as a petroleum salesman for twelve years then worked as a fire­man for the city of Mesa for over twenty years and upon re­tiring resumed my old love of carpentering and cabinet work where I am still active at seventy-four years of age.

Roy Alvin McClellan
Our son Roy filled a 30-month mission in Brazil where he learned the Portuguese language.  Upon returning from his mission he made languages his major in college so he became quite a linguist, with Portuguese, Spanish, some German, French, Japanese, and Thai—as he served in the Air Force in Japan and Thailand.  All of the offices he held in the Church were held while on duty with the Air Force; and he has had many wonderful experiences while in foreign lands and travel­ing around the world.  His first assignment in the Air Force was personal navigator to the General who was in charge of all material bases the world over and on one of his inspec­tion trips he was in twenty-two foreign countries.

Hazel McClellan Mortensen
Hazel, the eleventh of twelve children of DAVID and ESTHER TURLEY McCLELLAN, was born Sunday, Nov. 7, 1909 at Colonia Juarez, Mexico.  In Feb. 1910, the family moved to San Jose and later to Morelos, both in the state of Sonora.. Then on Aug. 21, 1912, due to a political revolution, the family left Mexico.
After arriving in the United States, Hazel was treated a month for typhoid fever.  Her father and brother Bill had gone by team and wagon for Tucson to find work and try to get the family situated when the Bishop came with a $20.00 bill and advised her mother to get Hazel to the LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City as fast as possible if she wanted her to live.  Hazel spent eleven months in the Children's Hospital and, although the right leg was shorter than the left due to no hip joint, she returned to the family in good health in answer to much fasting and praying and the blessings of the Priesthood, and with gratitude for unnumbered kindnesses from friends and loved ones.
Hazel was reared on farms in Chandler, Arizona where she graduated from high school.  She started teaching Sunday School when fourteen years of age and attended Seminary during the high school noon hour.  The family moved to Mesa in 1928 and Hazel got a job working in the Phoenix Laundry.  Then she was cashier for J.C. Penney Co. in Mesa for about a year. Later she worked in a dress factory in Hollywood, California for about three years before quitting to get married.  Like many others, their family had bad luck in the depression and Hazel worked and sent money home to help her parents get a Home built at 42 1/2 E. Second Ave., in Mesa.  Years later she owned and operated a mimeograph business for twenty years during the time she raised her children, supported her son on his mission, and took care of herself after the four children were raised and married.
On March 14, 1933 she was married and sealed in the Ariz. Temple to George Merrill Roy, and from this union four children were born:George Merrill Jr., Theodore Victor, Hazel Florene, and Lena Claudette--all four of whom were
364
married in the Arizona Temple,  The sealing was cancelled Jan. 12, 1944, and on Dec. 29, 1960 Hazel was sealed to Joseph Brinkerhoff.  Then years after he passed away, Hazel married Joseph Mortensen Febr. 1, 1974 in the Ariz. Temple.
Besides teaching Sunday School and genealogical classes,
serving on the Sunday School and Genealogical Stake Boards
for many years, working with the Lamanites at Papago, Ft.
McDowell, Spanish American Ward and Victory Acres Branch,
Hazel raised money for Stake projects by getting out three
Stake Directories—selling ads, setting up "copy", etc.,
with the last Directory having ad sales up to $5,500.00 be­
fore she stopped selling, and was having a "ball"!  She
principled five week-long genealogical schools in Arizona
and El Paso, Texas—doing all the planning and assisting in
the teaching, etc.  To-date she has done the Mesa Tenth
Ward Sunday School Bulletin for over twelve years.  She was
also Special Interests Representative for Tenth Ward for
several years, which she enjoyed very much because she knew
the need for it.;
At this writing, Hazel is the grandmother of 24, great-grandmother of 2, has a grandson on a mission in New York state besides having had a son fill a mission in the Southern States. The last three years have been extremely busy and rewarding for  Hazel with remodeling and fixing her home with Joe, quite a bit of trave1ing--two trips to Hawaii (four islands), and just plain everyday Happy Living!
Hazel's children:
George Merrill Roy, born Dec. 7, 1933; is married to Elaine Watts.
Theodore Victor Roy, born Dec. 5, 1935; married to Ana-marie Johnson.
Hazel Florene Roy Preston, born Feb. 21, 1937; married to Robert Lee Preston.

Claudette Roy Jones
I am Claudette Roy Jones, youngest child of George Merrill Roy, Sr. and Hazel McClellan Roy Mortensen. I was born in Mesa, Arizona on March 11,1938.I went through all my years of schooling in the Mesa Public Schools.  I did well in my school years and enjoyed many friends and many activities as I was growing up.  I had a great love for dogs and horses and once threatened to leave home if I couldn't keep a little crippled puppy we found one rainy evening on our doorstep. I enjoyed singing in A Cappella and was also in the National Honor Society and several other clubs at high school and am so grateful for all my friends who were a good influence in my life.
I received my endowments in the Arizona Temple on Nov.22, 1955 and married Charles Matthews Stradling the next day.  From this union was born three sons:  David Charles, Jan., 18 1957; Michael Alan, June 16, 1959; and Larry Owen, Aug. 11, 1961. This marriage did not work out and I obtained a civil divorce April 19, 1963 and on July 11, 1966 received a temple cancel­lation.  On Aug. 22, 1964 I married William Bruce Jones, son of Harry Payne and Florence Cardon Jones.  Our fourth son, William Scott was born July 6, 1965.  On Sept. 17, 1966 Bruce and I were sealed in the Arizona Temple and had our Billy sealed to us also.  On Aug. 10, 1966 we had our first three boys adopted by Bruce so they now carry the Jones name.  On May 6, 1967 our only daughter, Kathleen, was born.  Our last son, James Harry, was born on Sept. 9, 1969.  My children have been the joy of my life and I enjoy watching them grow and develop.  They are all fine healthy children and are doing well in school and church activities.  Some are musically inclined, others artistic, but all very special to Bruce and me.  My oldest son, David, is now serving in the New York, Rochester Mission.
My church activities include being called to be a Sunday School teacher when I was fourteen years old.  I have been teaching in the different auxiliaries since then and have been called to the following:  Primary Stake Board, Sunday School Stake Board, Mia Maid teacher, Activity Counselor in MIA, and member of the Service and Activity Committee in 9th Ward in Mesa where we now live.  I really enjoy working with the youth of the church.  They are such choice special young people! My husband is the Elders Quorum President in our ward and I try to keep up with him and support him all I can.
My hobbies are many.  I do dressmaking and enjoy doing many forms of artwork:  drawing, painting, crewell embroidery, and decoupage.  I also enjoy planting my flower gardens and the outdoors, playing softball and volleyball, and bowling. Our family enjoys camping trips up in the White Mountains and going on special trips.  This past summer we drove to our nation's capitol, driving through. 26 different states and also having the privilege of going to Nauvoo and seeing the land where my great great grandfather Theodore Turley's home used to be.  How proud I am to be his descendant and I hope I can
always be worthy to be numbered among his clan.

Frances Turley Romney
FRANCES TURLEY ROMNEY, daughter of ISAAC and CLARA ANN TOLTON TURLEY, was born April 21, 1873 in Beaver, Utah.  When she was five years old, her parents were called by President John Taylor to join the United Order in St. Joseph, Arizona. On their journey, after passing the Colorado, CLARA continued to drive the team for one of their three wagons while her eldest daughter, ESTHER, held her dying baby.  After the latters death and burial by the wayside, ISAAC, with his family and possessions, struggled down the Buckskin Mountains. In camp one evening, while running to feed, a stallion kicked FRANCES in the head, severing her ear and causing her to almost bleed to death.  Her resourceful mother, using pine gum, stopped the bleeding and stuck the ear into place so well that later there was no scar visible.

Arriving in St. Joseph, ISAAC, considered a wealthy man, turned over his possessions to the United Or­der, including hundreds of cat­tle and horses. Then, as a mem­ber, he labored 12-14 hours daily while CLARA worked in the dairy.  FRAN­CES later re­called a dispute she and another girl living in the Order had over a cat.In the pulling match

which ensued, FRANCES won the cat, but, losing her balance, she tumbled over backwards into a tub of water.  Some of the members of the United Order were less industrious than the Turleys so, after three years, the Order being dissolved, ISAAC took his families and relocated in Snowflake, Arizona. Here they planted orchards and sent the children to school.
At age 13, FRANCES was a grown young lady with blonde curly hair and a sunny disposition.  She quite charmed her first beau, but alas, he was destined to move to Mesa, Ariz. while she, at the same time with the Turleys, departed for Mexico in May, 1886. With the other Mormon colonists, they settled, after leaving Camp Turley, in Old Town on the Piedras Verde River in Chihuahua, Mexico.  Here the family built a stockade, but the girls preferred sleeping in the wagon box.  In this rude setting, FRANCES completed her schooling, finishing all the grades then offered.  Self-education, however, she considered most important and continued the pro­cess throughout her life.  One day while she was in the stock­ade kneading bread, an earthquake occurred.  Running out in the open, she noticed the hills ablaze with fire and later found the upheaval had released springs of water badly needed for their crops.
Leaving Old Town, since it was not the site originally purchased, the people moved north to the present site of Colonia Juarez.  Here, not far from the Piedras Verde River, ISAAC built his houses and blacksmith shop and planted his orchards and gardens.  A tall man, 6 ft. 4 in. in height, he often spoke endearingly of his daughter "FRANTY".  He was an excellent provider for his family, and friends enjoyed calling in to sample the good food and hospitality.  Enter­tainment was provided for the young people, and FRANCES, after working all day, found relaxation during the evenings in square dancing and acting in "dialogues." She was too shy to keep company with the boys, the exceptions being Dave McClellan and Gaskell and Miles A. Romney. When the latter proposed to her, using some of the words which a hero in one of his father's plays had spoken in proposing to the heroine, she accepted.  They were married Sept. 15, 1889.  How strange is fate I  That early beau, traveling all the way from Mesa, Arizona, now appeared in Colonia Juarez to visit FRANCES, but finding her married, sadly returned home.
FRANCES went dutifully to live with MILES' parents on a mountain ranch near Pacheco, where she helped them make cheese and learned from her mother-in-law how to make suits for her husband. While living there, her first child, Pearl. was born Sept. 9, 1890.  All of her other children, except the last, were born after the young couple moved back to Col­onia Juarez.
During the early 1890's, MILES filled a mission in Eng­land while FRANCES supported the 'family and sent him what she could spare, earning her money in a cannery.  However, during this absence, MILES acquired a fondness for the "English", for after his return his attentions turned to the daughters of
367
Elizabeth Burrell-Coonwalzer; the lady and her daughters were emigrants from England.  One by one, he married all three of the daughters:  Lily, Elizabeth, and Emily in polygamy, al­though the Church was discouraging such practices.  FRANCES tried to be friendly with Lily, and together they took oil painting lessons.  Some of these oil paintings FRANCES hung, after completion, in her living room.
She served the Church by being president of the YLMIA. However, as her family grew in size, FRANCES decided to move to a farm north of town where, with the help of her children and with emergency contributions from her father, she man­aged somehow.  Eight and a half years intervened before her next child was born on Oct. 10, 1907, and on March 18, 1911 another daughter.
Because of lawlessness incurred by the Mexican Revolu­tion, MILES' families, together with the other colonists, left Mexico for El Paso, Texas on July 28, 1912.  There, during the exodus, FRANCES youngest son was born April 21, 1913.  After living temporarily in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, and during the fourth exodus, MILES decided to again take his families to Mexico.  But FRANCES preceded the other wives, facing the dangers of Mexican outlaws for the sake of having, once more, a home of her own. Hard times, ruined homes, and illness from malaria depleted, the family energy in their struggle against poverty.  While working to aid the fam­ily, the eldest son, Miles, was killed by accident in Miami, Arizona and his father brought his body to the colonies for burial.
After the acute problems of food, clothes, and shelter were solved, FRANCES began to accumulate some books and sub­scribe to good magazines.  Becoming adept at fashioning her own patterns and using available materials, she sewed clothes for her family in the latest styles.  Sewing, a task relegated to the evening hours, she undertook only after the daily tasks were finished.
After the older children left to attend college in Utah, she moved to a home across the street from the Academy,  There, on a 3/4 acre lot surrounding her home, she raised a variety of garden vegetables and fruit, including figs and grapes. She had a constant surplus which she gave away to friends, neighbors, and others in the family.  What an exuberant spir­it she was!  Like a skylark, she rose above her many troubles, deprivations, and frustrations which beset her throughout most of her married life, and her clear, lovely voice was raised in song early in the morning as she went about her chores.  Occasionally, after a morning sojourn, she would awaken her three youngest children, saying merrily, "Come You are missing the best part of the day  Besides her flower garden of roses, sweetpeas, and delphinium, she filled her windows with everblooming houseplants, raised and cared for domestic animals, and provided nourishing lunches for out-of-town relatives attending the Academy.
After her three youngest children left home to attend
368
college, FRANCES stayed on in Juarez a number of years after MILES death November 28, 1939.  Since his father had died leaving no will, Gordon, acting as executor, divided the property among the three wives, Lily being deceased.  Later, FRANCES sold her home and bought a small one near Gordon and Beth in El Paso, Texas.  Now she had time, not only to attend Church, but to visit and, with Beth's guidance, to have her hair done and to occasionally buy a pretty hat.
During an interview on the radio one day, she stated that her happiest moment was when her first baby was laid in her arms; and the most embarrassing one was when she had company for dinner one day, but forgot to put soda in her biscuits.
Over the years, Florence had provided her mother with tickets for many trips to Shreveport, Louisiana, where she was lavishly entertained, sending her home with clothes of the latest fashion. FRANCES also enjoyed herself thoroughly on a trip to New York City to visit Pearl and Hel­en, returning with the latter by car to El Paso in June, 1938. In 1951-52, after a trip to Marguerite's in Phoenix, Arizona, and another to Edna's in Santa Rosa, Calif., she had a delightful visit in Old Mexico.  However, when Gordon and Beth were leaving to head the mission in Guate­mala, she collapsed with a stroke.  After a temporary recovery, FRANCES lived with Keith and Ruth, the latter caring' "for her during her last illness.  She died in their home in Las Cruces, New Mexico
June 19, 1953 and was buried in El Paso, Texas June 25, 1953.  Although Pearl could not attend because of poor health, the rest of her" "children were present at the funeral.
Considering her children her greatest treasures, FRANCES encouraged them in their education and insisted on their maintaining high principles of honor.  She was most heroic in her absence of fear and her fortitude to face dangers and heartaches, disliking, above all, lies and deceit.  To those

who had less than she, her kindness overflowed as she gave, with both hands, her life and goods.  Her children tried to follow her precepts and they took on responsibilities, and she found joy in their accomplishments.

Pearl Romney Chipman Johnson
I was born at Cliff Ranch, Chihuahua, Mexico on Sept. 9, 1890.  I was the first child of MILES A. and FRANCES ROMNEY.  Shortly after their marriage they had gone to live with his parents at Cliff Ranch.  There my mother loved to wander in the woods and mountains among the wild flowers and streams.  "The happiest moment of my life was when my first baby was laid in my arms," was what my mother said years later when interviewed on a radio program.
There were other grandchildren in Arizona, but I was the first grandchild in Mexico.  So, of course, the many aunts and uncles made over me.  I loved my Grandmother Romney and used to spend hours just talking to her even when just a little girl.  We lived in Juarez and Grandpa and Grandma Romney lived at their farm near Old Casas Grandes.  I would go to visit her every time I had a chance.  One day, in particular, some Mexicans came to trade at her little "Tienda" where she sold clothing mostly.  She wasn't around at the moment, so I went in and opened the door for them.  When she came in, I was up on the counter "trying to wait on them. When they were gone she said to me, "You are a naughty little girl.  Those Mexicans could have taken everything in this store."  I was broken-hearted to think that she was unhappy with me.  So I decided that I would walk home, 18 miles away.
371
I got my sunbonnet and started out without saying a word to her. When they missed me, they found my little tracks in the road and caught up with me, two miles away.
Another time that stands out:  My mother had just cooked a big dinner.  The best dishes were sitting on the sideboard. She had to leave and suggested that I do the dishes while she was gone.  I think I was only six or seven.  Anyway, somehow about one-third of the dishes fell to the floor and broke.  I knew that nice dishes like that were not to be had in Mexico.  So I stacked them up as best I could and then asked Miles and Edna to come with me upstairs and pray that Heavenly Father would put them back together again.  When we came back, the dishes were still broken.  I was very disap­pointed and felt that the Lord had let me down.  I did not pray for a long time after that.
After graduating from high school, I taught school at Moreles for two years to get enough money to go to Provo to school. Many of the boys I taught were larger than I, but I did not have any trouble with discipline. At Brigham Young University I was on the Debating Team and won a gold Y embedded with pearls that I have treasured all my life.  I do not believe they give them out now. My best friend was Fern Chipman.  Her father owned a large mercantile store in American Fork, Utah.  I spent many happy hours at her home. Her only brother, Stephen Howe was away on a mission.  When he returned we fell in love and were married June 26, 1913. Frances Maxine (their daughter) was born May 20, 1914 in American Fork, Utah.  She was a darling little blonde, just as precocious, fearless and unafraid as I had been at her age.  We were the best of friends all of our lives.
I taught school in the Philippines, traveled in Europe, and finally went to New York to work in the Child Welfare Department.  Here in New York I have seen all the best plays and operas.  About 1970 I toured the United States with some friends.  In Utah, at their home, they had an Open House for me.  There again I met many friends and relatives that I had not seen in years: Eyrings, Chipmans, Romneys, etc.  Uncle Junius threw his arms around me and said, "My Pearl of Great Price."

Maxine Chipman, daughter of Pearl Romney and Howe Chip­man, was born May 20, 1914 in American Fork, Utah.She married Guyton P. Stubbs, II.  They had two children:  George Romney and Guyton T.  Guyton is teaching architecture at the University of Colorado graduate college.  Romney is restoring southern mansions.  At the present time he is placing stained glass windows in churches.

Miles was the oldest son of MILES A. and FRANCES TUR-LEY ROMNEY, and as a result, as a young boy assumed responsibility for work in the fields and seeing that the cows got home by dark.  Many a time he and Pearl had to go out at night to find some stray cows.

As little children they
went with their mother to the local cannery, there to put the labels on the jelly and jam that their mother made.  The money from this was sent to their father who was fulfilling a mis­sion in England.
Miles had dark curly hair and a happy-go-lucky personality. As a result, he had many friends.  He loved to sing and he loved to dance.  He and Florence went to many dances together.
At the time of the Exodus he went out with the rest of the family.  He obtained a job in Miami, Arizona painting the outside of a building.  His mother wanted him to come home with them to Mexico when they went back.  But his father said that he should stay and earn some money.  After the family had gone back to Mexico his mother had a premonition one morning. She went over to Aunt Emily's and said that she felt that some­thing was wrong with Miles.  That was about nine o'clock.  By noon they received a telegram that Miles had slipped on the frosty building and fallen to his death. It was sad to have a young man taken in the prime of his life.  His mother was grief-stricken.  He died December 7, 1915.  Later, ISAAC TURLEY had his work done for him in the St. George Temple.  He said that Miles came to him at three different times and said, "Have you done my work for me?"

Edna Romney Noall,
I was born in Colonia Juarez, Mexico, the third child of FRANCES TURLEY and MILES A. ROMNEY.  When I was four I had spinal menigitis and sometime later, pneumonia.  So I did not start school at the age of six.  Being ill so long made me a little shy.  I remember Florence, two years younger, taking me by the hand and leading me to school.  However, it did not take long to catch up.  It was said that I was the smartest student ever to go through the Juarez Stake Academy.
At the time of the Exodus in 1912 we went out to El Paso.  There I worked for a while.  I wanted to go on a mis­sion but my father said that he couldn't afford to send me. Florence and I went to school at Gila in Thatcher.  There I won 550.00 in an oratorical contest.  Of course the money came in handy.  I was asked on a Friday if I would enter the contest.  I worked on it over the weekend and gave it on Mon­day.  The subject was on Forestry.  I remember the next Sun­day at church President Kimball telling a visiting authority, "This is the girl who won the essay contest against my son.
During World War II served as Secretary in the Demoli-
zation Unit with the Navy.  My title was Yomenette.  I served two years.  Then I went back to school at the University of Utah.  They gave me some credit for serving in the Navy.  I graduated from the University of Utah in Speech Arts.  I was a member of the Professional Dramatic Fraternity.  I obtained a job teaching school in Ogden.  I was nominated secretary to the faculty.  One day I was reading the minutes in a faculty meeting.  Afterwards Elmer Noall, who also taught in the same school, came up and asked me for a date.  This led to other dates and on the 18th of June, 1924 we were married in the Salt Lake Temple.
Twins were born to us on March 12, 1926:  Audrey Edna and Elmer Ray.  Imagine our surprise when there were two babies instead of one, especially when Elmer was enrolled in the Medical School at the University of Utah.  He had to take time from his studies to help with the babies.  He also attended the University of Chicago, where he got his degree as General Practitioner.
We made our home in Santa Rosa, California, and Elmer became well known in that area as a doctor.  Many times he was called out at night to attend to some sick person or to deliver a baby, or to calm some woman who would later deliver a baby.  We moved into a beautiful Georgian-type home about 1940 and have lived there ever since.
As a girl in El Paso, Bishop Arwell A. Pierce described me as a very beautiful girl with gorgeous auburn red hair, a creamy skin and a Grecian type nose.  I have read avidly all my life and should have been a reporter or a writer.  I. guess success comes to those who are not faint hearted.  As of this writing, 1976, I am 79 and my husband is 83.

Florence Romney Lieber
Florence was born in Colonia Juarez, Mexico on Oct.3,1897.  She grew up in Mexico and attended the Juarez Stake Academy.
Florence had a happy personality that made her many 375
friends. She was always generous in thought and deed. She was a beautiful girl; people turned to look at her a second time.
At the time of the Exodus, Edna and Florence left the colonies and went to El Paso and then on to Gila College to school.  Later they went to Salt Lake and enrolled at the University of Utah,  Florence went with a family to Cuba to tutor their daughter in Spanish.  Upon her return she mar­ried a boy friend she had met in El Paso, Isadore Lieber. They "made their home in Shreveport, Louisiana  Her husband became a wealthy man and both Isadore and Florence were in­fluential and prominent in civic affairs.  He was a third degree Mason.  Florence was always generous in donating to the Latter-Day Saints Church.  They had many friends in Shreve­port where they resided all their married life.
Florence studied painting and enrolled in the nearby college"!  She became a painter and a poet in her own right. Florence and Isadore had two children:  Jacqueline and Miles Harrison.  As little children Florence would bring them home to Mexico to visit their grandparents.  Florence loved to come home to visit and she had her mother come down to Shreve­port many times to visit.  She "mothered" her younger broth­ers and sisters and saw that they did not lack for the things they needed.  She also helped them in their desire to go to college later.  At one time she and her husband and children visited Gordon in Douglas.  Their car was parked near Gordon's place of business.  It was stolen and all the suitcases were thrown out into the nearby desert.  The car was later recovered in Bisbee.  That was the last time that Isadore traveled by car to the wild and woolly west.  They took the train after that.
Florence loved life, people and books.  In her later life when she became ill she read a great deal.  As she said, "I have practically read the whole library."

Gordon, the fifth of eight children, was born to MILES and FRANCES ROMNEY on May 14, 1899 in Colonia Juarez, Mexico.  At the age of thirteen, he was one of the youngest boys who rode horseback at the time of the Exodus to Hachita, New Mexico.
Between the years 1912 to 1917, his family became one of the many families who moved to the United States, only to re­turn again and again to the Colonies.  Here he received his early education, scholastically as well as religiously. During one of the periods as a refugee, he graduated from Lone Star Grade School in Saf-ford, Arizona as valedictorian,. Upon returning to Mexico he attended the Juarez Stake Aca­demy from which he graduated as an honor student.  He was president of his class.  De­siring to further his education, he entered Utah State.  There he became a member of the Stu­dents Honor Corp. which carried him to the brink of war in 1918. After the Armistice was signed, he


enrolled at the University of Utah.  In May of 1919 he joined a group of Marines who were to be assigned to France for a limited time.  At Quantico, Virginia, his military career was terminated after his group acted as guard of honor to President Wilson.  Pursuing his education, he returned to Utah State.  There he was offered an opportunity to attend West Point, but declined in preference to serving a mission for the Church.
Gordon filled an honorable mission in France and Switzer­land,"serving three years.  The latter part of his mission he was acting mission president in the absence of his presi­dent.  During his time in the mission field, he labored under the guidance of both Elder David 0. McKay and Elder James E. Talmage.
Returning to the United States, he came to the El Paso Ward and became president of the YMMIA.  He was always active in promoting basketball with the youth of the Church.  His work with Boy Scouts began in California as a young man and continued in Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.  His interest in Scouting continued the major part of his adult life.  For many years he sat on the Yucca Council for Advancement Awards.

On July 28, 1927 Gordon married Elizabeth Wilson, born
Oct. 29, 1908 in Colonia Juarez, Mexico to John W. and Char­
lotte Elizabeth Butler Wilson.  They made their first home in
Douglas, Arizona.  Again he served as president of the YMMIA.
Another move took the family to Silver City, New Mexico.  The
family had now added three little daughters to their home.
Here Gordon organized the nucleus of the first branch of Silver
City. 1934 brought another move to El Paso.  Here he became
superintendent of Sunday School.
In 1938 he was ordained a High Priest by Elder Spencer W. Kimball and appointed a member of the Mt. Graham High Council.  In 1942 a son was born to the family.  In 1952, the First Presidency called Gordon and Beth to preside over the first mission in Central America.  While living in Guatemala City he built the first chapel and a beautiful mission home. Their son, Gordy, then ten years old, accompanied them on this assignment.  The three daughters had married.
After returning to El Paso he served as Stake Mission President and as High Councilman to the El Paso Stake.  He acted as auditor of stake books and headed the committee of Aaronic Priesthood.  Once again, in 1968, Gordon and Beth were called to preside over the Mexico Mission in beautiful Mexico City.  This was another tremendous experience with the dynamic youth of the Church, with the added thrill of seeing the missionaries bring 5,000 new members into the waters of baptism.
A year after returning home Gordon was ordained Stake Patriarch by Elder Boyd Packer.  Life is more relaxed and there are twenty-six grandchildren to gladden the heart. Although financially very successful, Gordon is, and has always been, the champion of the poor and needy--not only financially, but spiritually.  His great love for his fellowmen has not been limited to members of the Church.  He is a forceful, living example that what he has, be it material or spiritual, is to be shared with those in need, for the Great God gave him all he has.

Helen Mar Romney Biddulph
I was born Oct. 10, 1907 in Colonia Juarez, Mexico, the sixth of eight children of FRANCES TURLEY and MILES A. ROMNEY. Both parents came at an early age to Mexico from Arizona.  My father was a builder, farmer, and fruit grower.  My earliest recollections are of a farm life and two faithful dogs who guarded my excursions, even when older sisters took me swimming, During the Mexican Revolution of 1912, our family left the Colonies four times, finally returning to Colonia Juarez in 1917.

Helen Romney Biddulph

Although books were scarce, I learned early to love learning, to take part in sports and to play the piano.  Since father was drama director, I fol­lowed his direction and took part in many plays, later directing also.  While a junior attending the Aca­demy, I won a Heber J. Grant Oratorical Contest, and upon graduation was awarded the only scholarship to Brigham Young University for the year 1925.
After teaching third and fourth grades a year in Colonia Juarez, I attended BYU, entering inter-colleg­iate debating and winning a Talrnadge Essay Contest (103 entrants).  After two years, I left to teach 5th and 6th grades in Colonia Dublan.  After returning to BYU I was elected Vice President of my senior class and won awards in debating and drama.
After graduation, and while I was staying with Aunt Anna in Pleasant Grove, Utah, one day Ru1on Biddulph appeared at the door.  He had taught in Mexico when I was there.  Now he had finished a German mission and had secured a job as a member of the technical staff at the Bell Telephone Labora­tories in New York City.  We corresponded during the following year when I taught speech and English in Mount Pleasant High School; June 29, 1931 we were married in the Salt Lake Temple.
We resided in the Jackson Heights and Flushing areas of Long Island in New York City until 1941 when we moved to Mad­ison, New Jersey; and then, a year later, to Chatham, New Jer­sey.  Our children, Bruce and Romney had been born in Long Island in 1935 and 1929, and Cheryl was born in Chatham in 1948, the same year I received my M.A. in English at Columbia University, New York.
During twenty years of residence in Chatham, I was busy in drama: for 17 years I was drama director for the Church, either ward or stake; for local and state N. J. Women's Clubs I produced plays as Program Chairman or as State District Drama Director; for the New Jersey Community Theater I was directing and serving as member of the board, culminating in my becoming president.  The latter organization included over a hundred Little Theaters, the largest number for any state
380
in the United States.  Also, in 1953, entering an original play which I directed, I won first place in a New Jersey  ' Woman's Club State One-Act-Play Contest.
In 1962 we moved to Fair Haven, New Jersey because of a change in the location of Rulon's work.  In addition to the activities listed above, I had been teaching English and drama in the high schools in Chatham for the last ten years. The relaxation of life near the ocean and drier weather brought me relief from asthma.
In 1966 we again moved because of the change in location
of Rulon's work, living in Glen Ellyn, near Chicago.  Our
sons, Bruce and Romney had graduated at Cornell and M.I.T.,
and later, Cheryl received her B.S.in zoology at the BYU in
1971.  During our stay here, I did research for the Church
League of America.
After two and a half years in Chicago, Rulon retired in
November, 1968 and we moved to Phoenix, Ariz.  Here we have
pursued a variety of hobbies:  botany, rock-hunting, oil
painting, ceramics, decoupage, for me; for Rulon:  radio and
gardening.
Since joining the Arizona Breakfast Club, I have been active in Pro-American politics, appearing on TV and speaking
at various clubs in favor of a stronger National Defense, and against Women's Lib or E.R.A.  I have been a board member of Katchina Republican Women, the Women's Club of Phoenix, and Vice President of both the Daughters of Utah Pioneers and Arizona Breakfast Club.  For the Arizona Republican Party, I have served as a Registrar, Captain of my precinct, and a member of the State Committee.
The Church positions which have been most enjoyable are: pianist, chor­ister and tea­cher in Sunday School, Cultu­ral Refinement teacher for Relief Society, leader of Tea­cher Training for the Short Hills Ward, drama direc­tor, on1sev­eral stake boards for YLMIA as well
as Primary,         The Rulon and Helen Biddulph Family and president  Front, left to right:  Brian Patton, Edward of L.I.M.-I.A.   Biddulph, Romney Biddulph, Jr.  Middle: Rulon, in New York.   Helen, Bruce.  Back: Romney, Betty Jane, Cheryl,

Bruce was born Nov. 4, 1935 in Flushing, New York, the first son of Rulon and Helen Biddulph.  Moving "with his family to Madison, New Jersey, where he attended both elementary and high school, he fin­ished in 1953.
He was very interested during his high school days in scouting; also, he had a very good collection of stamps.  But he had a very fine feeling and an unusual talent for playing the violin, becoming a mem­ber of the New Jersey All-State Orchestra.
Entering Cornell University, he earned his B.S. in mechanical engin­eering in 1958.  The same summer, he left with his parents and Cheryl on a trip to Mexico; when his father became ill, he drove us over the rugged mountains of that area.

Returning to Texas, Bruce left for his first job with Carnation in California, and later came East to work for Western Electric.  He returned to school and after securing his M.S. at the University of Utah in Cermaics Engineering, he derived a variety of experience by working at Corning Glass and Texas Instruments.  He is now a Consulting Engineer in Ceramics for G.E. in Cleveland, Ohio. At the present time he is building a home in the Cleveland suburbs.
For the Church, Bruce has served in the ward presidency of the YMMIA and as a teacher.  In addition, he has served on a two-year Stake Mission in Cleveland, Ohio, and is cur­rently secretary of the Cleveland Stake Seventies Quorum.

Romney Brent Biddulph
Born in New York City Sept. 26, 1939, I spent most of my formative years in Chatham, New Jersey.  During high school my interests were scouting, soccer, singing in such groups as the "Buttondowns," and playing the clarinet in the New Jersey All-State Band.  After graduating from Pingry School, Eliza­beth, New Jersey in 1957, I took my B.S. at M.I.T. in Boston in 1961.  While at M.I.T. I was active on the Rowing Crew, Soccer Crew, and was a member of the Student Government Coun­cil, acting as Chairman of the Student Faculty Committee. Then, after holding a graduate teaching assistantship for two years, I graduated with an M.S. in 1963 from the Sloan School of Indurstrial Management, M.I.T.; and thereafter went to work for Ford as a member of their Central Financial Staff in
382

Both in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  Prior to my transfer to Ford-Willys in Brazil, I was divorced from my first wife in 1968.  In Bridgeville, Delaware on Sept. 6, 1969, I married Betty Jeanne Culver, and we were sealed in the Mesa, Arizona Temple Sept. 9, 1969.  Our children are: Romney Brent, Jr., born June 29, 1970 in Summit, New Jersey; Edward Culver, born May 14, 1972 in Norristown, Penn.; and Miles, born Dec. 22, 1974.
After serving in managerial positions with I.N.A. and Philco, I am now Manager of Financial Analysis with Sperry Rand in Bluebell, Penn.  Our home, on a hill overlooking Val­ley Forge, is located in the town of Paoli, a suburb of Philadelphia.  For several years I have acted as Chairman of the Citizens Civic Committee for Community Betterment for Paoli and neighboring towns.
Church positions which have been most interesting to me are scouting, superintendency of the Sunday School, and president of the Elders Quorum of the Valley Forge Ward.

Cheryl Biddulph Patton
Born in Summit, New Jersey on June 27, 1948, I spent my first fourteen years in Chat­ham, New Jersey.  These years were devoted not only to education, but to childhood play, dan­cing, and music les­sons, especially piano.
In 1962 our family moved to Fair Haven, New Jersey.  Here I spent my high school years--studying, sing­ing, and beginning socializing and dating. As sports, I enjoyed skating, swimming, boating, as we lived only 1 1/2 miles from the Atlantic Ocean.
From left:  Brian, Wayne, Cheryl,
and Alison Lynn Patton.


In the autumn of
1966 I attended the BYU as part of their Honors Placement Program, living in Helaman Halls where I made new friends and met my future husband, William Wayne Patton.  I graduated with a B.S. in zoology in 1971, three years after my marriage and 1 1/2 years after giving birth to our son Brian William on Jan. 27, 1970.  We are living in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where Wayne is working as a soil scientist for the U.S. Forest Ser­vice in the Cibola National Forest.  Our second child, a girl, was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico on Jan. 21, 1975.  Her name is Alison Lynn.
My church activities have been mostly devoted to the musical field:  orgainist for the MIA, Sunday School, and Relief Society.  I have also been a visiting teacher and a Primary teacher.       * * *


Marguerite Romney Pyper
I was born in Colonia Juarez, Mexico on March 18, 1911.  My parents were FRANCES TURLEY and MILES ARCHIBALD ROMNEY.  I spent my childhood just as any other child would in a small town, en­joying the countryside, walking to school each day and returning for a hot lunch at noon.  We lived just across the street from the high school, so we enjoyed the advantages of its library.  My mother also subscribed to several magazines, so reading was a fav­orite pastime of mine.  On grad­uating from Juarez Stake Academy, I was awarded the honor of being valedictorian.  My sister, Edna, was teaching at the Academy that year and she helped me with my address, "Build Thee More Stately Mansions, 0 My Soul."




Marguerite and William Pyper
After working in Douglas, Ariz. for Singer Sewing Machine Company for a year, I was able to attend BYU.  I graduated in 1934 with a degree in Interpretive Speech.  I then moved to El Paso and worked for my brother, Gordon, at his car agency. In the summer of 1935 I attended summer school at Columbia. There I met my future husband, William Rawlelgh Pyper.  I taught shorthand and typing at El Paso High School during 1935-36.  We were married on June 25, 1936 in El Paso, Texas and later in the Salt Lake Temple on July 3, 1936.
Then we moved to Arizona. My first child was born in Tucson. All the rest were born in Phoenix, Arizona, where we have resided most of our married life.
My husband has been first counselor in the bishopric, on the High Council of West Phoenix Stake, has been in charge of Home Teaching and at present is Teacher Development Lead­er of the ward, as well as being active in the missionary program. I was Stake Primary president,  P.T.A. President 1959-60, president YWMIA, worked as drama director and speech director for 15 years in Phoenix Stake and North Phoenix Stake.  Our road shows and speech programs won first and second place many times.  I have taught Cultural Refinement in Relief Society, Primary, Sunday School, and Mutual. When I received my patriarchal blessing it said I would help the young women of the Church.  Now I know what it meant.  I have spent a great deal of time in the YWMIA and also in the Relief Society.  I find that the greater service you give in the Church the more it benefits you.
We know many people throughout Arizona and the Western
385
States.  My husband has been in politics for many years.  He was State Senator for Arizona in 1952-54.  He has sold life insurance and general insurance since 1936.  He worked with his brother, LeRoy Pyper, for several years and then had a company of his own.  I have worked as a school teacher, re­tiring in 1976 after teaching 17 years.  We have had a won­derful life together, doing many things and traveling over most of the United States.  We have five wonderful children, all married in the Temple. And we now have 16 grandchildren,

Keith Romney
I was born April 21, 1913 in El Paso, Texas, the fol­lowing spring after my parents, MILES A. ROMNEY and FRANCES TURLEY ROMNEY, came out of Mexico during the Revolution. Soon after this, the family moved to the Safford, Arizona area; and, on a later expulsion, to Virden, New Mexico. In 1917, at age four, I returned with the family to Colonia Juarez in a covered wagon.  After a ten-day trip through sand, mesquite, chaparral, and sun, this colony seemed like the Garden of Eden.
I attended school in Colonia Juarez in the red brick Church-Schoolhouse with the bell tower, and later, the Aca­demy,  graduating in 1931.  After briefly attending New Mexico State Teacher's College at Silver City, I transferred to B.Y.U. in Provo, Utah for 1933-34.  Resuming my education, I registered at New Mexico State University at Las Cruces and
390
attended from 1970-73, grad­uating with honors, with a B.A. in Dec., 1972 and com­pleting my M.A. in 1974.

ERNEST TURLEY, son of ISAAC TURLEY and CLARA ANN TOLTON was born April 16, 1875 in Beaver City, Utah The following is from his Personal Record:
ERNEST TURLEY attended grade school in Colonia Juarez, Mexico, where he moved with his parents and brothers and sis­ters at the early age of eleven years.  He helped to drive his father's cattle from Snowflake, Arizona to Juarez, Mexico,
arriving May 28, 1886. The trip was a hazardous one as the Indians were on the warpath.  Geronimo, The Apache leader, was killing whites before and behind them as they trav­eled.  One evening in particular, they saw their fires and the In­dians running from one fire to another.  Because of this great danger they called a council and de­cided to drive on into the night.  The council con­sisted of grandfather ISAAC'S family only.  They were making this journey to escape from persecution, When they finally camped because the teams were ex­hausted, they had gone 12 miles beyond all watering holes.  ERNEST and a hired man went back the 12 miles to the watering holes and they were gone so long the family thought they had
been massacred, but they

returned just at daybreak unharmed.
When he was nineteen he went to Diaz, Mexico and met CENTENNA WILSON.  This was a momentous occasion: the town of Diaz was putting on the "Stake Fair".  CENTENNA was chosen the prettiest girl at the Fair.  ERNEST was a slick to end all slicks; tall and handsome as they come.  With the necessary means in his pocket to show the queen of the ball a perfect time and he wooed his girl and won her.  They were married on Thanksgiving Day two months later.  Chil­dren came to them as God had instructed or designed, and one year later their first son was born.  They named him Ernest Carlyle and he was so handsome to see, never was a mother more joyous.  It was not an easy birth and Dad feared for her life, but they had a good nurse and she pulled CEN­TENNA through..  Then the rest of the children came in due time.
They lived in Mexico for fifty years and then when their children were all married they sold the old home with beauti­ful Delicious apple orchards and the cattle and came to Mesa, Arizona where they could be near the temple.  Building a good home where the children and grandchildren could come to enjoy the love and affection and guidance from their parents. ERNEST has been a good patriarch of his family and spent his last days being bedfast for two years.  Mother was beside him trying to get him up and have him beside her longer, but when God calls no one can stay his hand.
Father died three months after giving me his life's story on June 27, 1957.  Mother lived for 14 years after father's death and blessed her family with her love and kindness.  She was 95 years when she passed quietly away on June 25, 1971.
From the Personal Record of CENTENNA WILSON TURLEY (also submitted by Berneice Turley Quackenbush):  I was faithful in missionary work for four years and the means of bringing in two families of our Lamanite people and these families are faithful to this day.  I was a Relief Society President for 6 years from 1922 to 1928.  I was the instrument in God's hands of helping at least 100 children go to the Juarez Stake Academy and our own family numbering six at this time are the kind that any parent might be proud of.  They are my joy and my blessing!  My husband,who is now bedfast and has been for two years, I have cared for and loved him and hoped to bring him back to a useful life is now fading away.  May our vision last through till eternity.  (June 25, 1971)
ISAAC TURLEY JR. wrote the following about his brother ERNEST:
ERNEST was very dependable in his youth.  Laboring closely with his father, he was the mainstay for the family. ERNEST was very efficient in farming and fruit-growing, and cheese-making.  He was a very good, honest and industrious
396
man.  He enjoyed singing in the ward choir for many years. He was always endeavoring to serve others who needed his help.  He was a very efficient carpenter.  He built rock dams for the Colony, on the river above town for irrigation purposes.  He was well versed in the Gospel.  He left his family and went to West Virginia on a mission.  His older sons, and his brother ISAAC, cared for his fruit trees and alfalfa fields.  In July 1912, he was compelled to leave his mission and return to El Paso, to join with his family when they and the other colonists were driven out of Mexico be­cause of the Revolution.  About a year later, they returned to Mexico to reclaim their property, where he continued to work the soil.
He later disposed of his property in Mexico, and moved to Mesa, Arizona where he could go to "the Temple and enjoy living in this productive land.  As ERNEST became older, he had a great deal of poor circulation in his lower limbs, from his knees to his feet, which were in a terribly swollen con­dition much of the time.  He was in a great deal of pain, even up in his body.  He passed away in Mesa on July 17, 1957.
After ERNEST married and left the family home, he re­turned there often to visit his mother and his brother ISAAC and family.  ERNEST always brought sunshine and cheer, and was eager to help wherever needed.  He often said that we do not have time for hatred or trouble.  He was all through his life a very loyal and true brother and son.

Ernest Carlyle Turley
Ernest Carlyle worked hard and graduated from the school of life early, at the age of 49. Carl was the eldest son of a family of 10.  His boyhood in Mexico was full of work, play and numerous interesting exper­iences among the Mexican people. The family learned to speak Spanish and especially enjoyed singing Mexican songs and play­ing the guitar.  This talent carried over and was used by the family on special occasions when­ever they got together.  A deep feeling of love and sympathy de­veloped for their Lamanite broth­ers and sisters and many people were assisted in their temporal, spiritual, and social desires by the members of this family.
Carl found the Lord had blessed him with a good head and he liked to use it.

He studied agriculture at the Utah Agricul­tural College at Logan and was a graduate from that school in 1928.  He later studied medicine at Berkeley and taught Smith Highs courses in high school in Roosevelt, Utah.  He loved to walk with his children talking about the trees, birds, and other forms of life.  He loved to study.  His success in

school, church, and work must be a tribute to his desire to study and learn new ideas.
Carl took religion seriously.  He was a High Priest in the Church and studied the scriptures constantly.  He rarely sat down without one of the standard works nearby.  He was married in the Logan Temple Nov. 19, 1922 to Bertha Fernanda Thomson, born Oct. 31, 1898 to Andrew and Mary Louise Eyring Thomson.  He paid tithing, observed the Word of Wisdom, and supported the leaders in spirit and with financial assistance.
In the early years of this young family Carl was often required to be away from them.  His adventurous spirit took him to Alaska, Mexico, Shiprock, New Mexico, and other far­away places.  He learned the building trades and followed the various projects all over North America.  While working on a dam near Parker, Arizona, he fell and injured himself. Nobody knows that this fall started the progressive disease which finally ended his mortal life, but it is considered a possibility.  Great courage and determination is evident as we look at the final years of Carl Turley's life.  He had progressive muscular dystrophy and knew he had few years left; however, he wanted to complete a home for his family first and he struggled with great effort to accomplish this goal.
Many desires and wants were cut short by this untimely death on Sept. 4, 1946, but the eternal requirements of a great life were complete.  The family, operating on the re­ligious foundation of their father and mother, are all fol­lowing in their footsteps and hoping to meet them in the royal courts on high.

Utah.

Tenna Louise Turley Abney Heap
I spent my early childhood with my family in the western part of the United States and in Mexico.  Eventually we chose Mesa for our permanent home site.  After completing my formal education in Mesa, I met and married Wilbur Kenneth Abney on August 14, 1944, an Air Force pilot from Texas, stationed near Mesa at Williams Air Force Base.  There was much traveling and training' in the United States before returning to Mesa, where our first son, Kenneth Carlyle, was born.  From Mesa we trav­eled widely and spent 2 1/2 years in Germany, where Jimmy, our second son, was born.  After coming home we were stationed in Roswell, New Mexico where Barbara and Glenn were born.  In
399
October of 1957 my husband was killed in a tragic crash on Grey Mountain, near the Grand Canyon.  After this tragedy we moved back to Arizona to be near the family.  We settled in Scottsdale, near my sister.
While in Scottsdale I met and married Dr. Elmer Heap, who had a family of five children.  This made a total of nine, several of whom were the same age, and in the same grade at school.  In addition, two other members, Elmer, Jr. and Miriam, soon joined us, bringing our grand total up to eleven.  We have since been blessed with sons and daughters-in-law, plus ten lovely grandchildren.  It has been an in­teresting and compatible family - unit.  The Abney children have been leaders and examples in sports, church, and outdoor life; while the Heap children have shown the way in academics church, and self-control, with a great deal of overlapping among them.

Barbara Fernanda Turley Greer
In summarizing my life I think I'd use the word relation­ship a great deal.  I've had unique relationships with all my family.  The closest and most precious relationship I've enjoyed was with my mother.  We looked at the world from
400
the same viewpoint.  I actually patterned my life after her. I learned to keep house, shop, vote, go to church, mow the grass, drive a car and do many, many other things like she did or at least like she wanted me to.
My father holds a special place in my life.  He was kind when we were sick and at times played jokes like the pig tails he put in our socks one Christmas.  He was a great builder and wanted us to have a nice home.  He was sick a great deal of the time and finally depended on us completely as his life ebbed away with muscular dystrophy,
Tenna, my older sister, was not just older but mature beyond her years, pretty and very popular.  Naturally, she became an idol to me and I'm afraid I was the pesky kid sister at times.  Since our mother's death, we've turned to each other for the love that she showered on us both, and at pres­ent my relationship with Tenna is very tender and fulfilling.
From the typical little brother who naturally "bugs" older sisters, Carl has changed into a brother who is looked up to and admired.  He's traveled widely, had vast experiences in the United States Air Force as an observer in combat on the B-52, plus served as a bishop in the Church.  He has a knack for investing money, plays the stock market to good advantage and represents the financial brains of the family.
My marriage has been an experience of contrasts.  Never have two people of more opposite poles attracted each other. Menlo Greer, my husband, is a liberal thinker--I'm conserva­tive.  He's a spendthrift I'm a financial worrier.  He's a strict disciplinarian and I'm opposed to conflict in any form.  In fact, about the only thing that we've harmonized during the years might be religious views.  You might think this would make for an extremely rocky existence but actually

Barbara and Menlo Greer Family 401
we've had a great twenty-six years together and we seem to enjoy each other more as the years pass. The secret seems to be to allow each to be the master of his own ship.
In summary, my life has centered around my family, my twenty-one years of successful teaching in the public schools, and my never-ending housework, yard work and Church activity. I've never felt that expensive things made happiness.  Give me the simple life.
All of our children are active in the Church and leaders in their own right. Our children:
Mellonie, the eldest has been the serious, studious,
musical child.                                        Terri Ann, the second daughter was the hyperactive, tom--
boy, athletic type.                                Leonard Dare, the first boy has been a great athlete
and out-doorsman.                                 Benjamin Arthur, with a 6'6" frame loves basketball and
is a great golfer.

Ernest Carlyle Turley, Jr.
My early years were spent in Mexico on the Turley Family Farm.  We moved to Shiprock, New Mexico where my father worked for the Indian Service and mother taught school. We moved to Mesa in 1936 and this became our permanent home. Our life was centered around the Church, family, and good friends.  We were taught by example.  I was an inquisitive boy and enjoyed the outdoors, scorpion hunting, swimming in ditches, and raising chickens.  I attended elementary school and graduated from Mesa High School in 1950.
I attended Arizona State University.  During my senior year I married Virginia Sue Smith in the Arizona Temple June 12, 1953.  We lived in Tempe and Mesa our first year.  After graduation I entered the Air Force as a Lieutenant.  We lived in Houston, Texas where I attended flight training.  Our daughter, Melinda, was born while we were stationed there. We went to California for more schooling and Tucson, Ariz. was my first flying assignment in the B-47 program.  Our son Ernest Carl was born in Mesa, Arizona.
Clinton Sherman AFB in Burns Flat, Oklahoma was our next assignment and proved to be the developing ground for a per­sonal testimony of the Gospel.  The nearest Church was 22 miles away in Clinton, Oklahoma in an old bank building on skid row. Seven and a half years of growth and development occurred as I served as branch clerk, financial clerk, building chairman, and branch president.  Working and loving our Lamanite brothers and sisters brings back precious memories.  Our son Allen Jay was born there.  I was reassigned to California for a year and given the opportunity of serving on the Fair Oaks Stake High Council,  While there, another bundle from Heaven came in the form of a new daughter, Virginia.
402
In 1968 I was restationed at SAC Headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska.  This was an interesting assignment.  I was also given the opportunity to be chairman of the building and fund raising committee.  The new addition to the Ward proved to be a new Stake Center.  Back to California and the oppor­tunity to serve on the Fair Oaks Stake High Council again.  At this time Uncle Sam felt I was needed back in a B-52 to fight in Southeast Asia for 18 months.  During the long flights and during the fighting, I felt the protecting hand of my Heavenly Father a closeness seldom experienced.
Upon my return to California I was called as bishop of the Rancho Cordova First Ward.  I have been bishop for three years.  Upon retirement from the United States Air Force in Sept., 1975 I was Lt. Col., assigned as Chief of the Operations Plans Division 320th Bomb Wing (SAC).  It is exciting looking back and more exciting looking forward to the future.

Gladys Turley
We all feel Gladys was a very special spirit with such a sweet, loving personality.  She was so thoughtful and help­ful to her mother, father, and brothers and sister.  She had a beautiful voice and sang many solos, which will never be
forgotten.
Her death was a shock to us all and left a great sorrow in our home.  Carl, the oldest brother, was very close to Gladys. An example of that love was demonstrated the day she died.  Carl rode to Pearson, nine miles away, on horse­back to get the necessary medicine for her.  I will never forget the loving look in her eyes when he returned, for she was just passing away.  It was January 27, 1918.

Anna Bernice Turley Quackenbush
I, Anna Bernice Turley, was born Dec. 19, 1906 in Colonia Juarez, Mexico to goodly parents, SARAH CENTENNA WILSON and ERNEST TURLEY.  When I was six years of age, we left our nice, two-story brick home in Mexico for the United States to find protection form the marauding armies of Mexico. At this time my father was serving as a missionary in the Southern States Mission and could offer no help to his pregnant wife and family.  We stayed for a few days in El Paso and then journeyed to Mesa, Arizona where Mother had relatives and friends.  In a few weeks Father was released from his mission and joined his wife and family in Arizona.  In a few months my brother, James Franklin, was born.  From Mesa we went to Miami, Ariz. where Father had a job bossing some Mexicans in the mine, but the work only lasted a year, so Father and Mother decided that they must go back to Mexico to raise their family as the home and property was worth quite a bit and in the States we owned nothing.

Bernice Turley Quack-
enbush
I want to tell you an incident about myself as a little girl in grade school.  I remember feeling very close to my Heavenly Father and having the strong desire to talk to him. This particular time I was on the way home from school and in the second grade.  I just sat down in the sand and bowed my head and talked with my Beloved Father in Heaven.  I remember having the feeling that it had not been a very long time since I had been with Him.  I felt very warm and secure in His love.
When I grew older, life took on more responsibilities. I would wait under the bridge on my way home from school for my little brother, Anthon, as the Rubio family's children took delight in throwing rocks at him.  He was so little and sensitive and not one to fight back, so his big sister pro­tected him for a long time, it seems in my memory. Years passed and I found myself president of my eighth grade class and a pretty swift runner.  I was president of my freshman class in high school again and was still progressing in my running, jumping, and athletics.  I was also doing much sing­ing in all the organizations.  In my senior year I was again president of my class and chosen for the main part in the "Southern Belle" operetta.  I graduated with honors, which pleased me most of all, as up to this time in my life I had shown little promise scholastically.
After working a year to accumulate my tuition and board, I went to Utah State where my beloved brother, Carlyle, had received his B.A. degree.  Many of Carl's friends were good to me at college.  Incidentally, again I won all the sports at our spring meet and beat one of my very dearest friends who had held the titles for a year; she was in the end of her second year of college.  I made good grades and hoped to go back for the second year, but health wise I was not too good, so could not work and did not earn money to return.
404
When I came back from Mexico to work again, I met Claude Fulton Quackenbush.  We were married July 1, 1929, after knowing each other for three months.  He was goodness and kindness itself and such a loving father and husband.  From this eternal marriage of Claude's and mine two wonderful sons were born:  Stan and Howard, the most blessed treasures of our lives.
Since Claude's death, I have been working as an ordinance worker in the Arizona Temple and enjoy it.  My happiest mo­ments now are when I am with my children and grandchildren. The Lord has blessed me with seven grandsons and five grand­daughters who bring joy to my heart and I am most grateful for them.

Stanley Fulton Quackenbush
I was born in the depths of the depression.  My parents moved to Bellingham, Washington when I was a year and a half old.  There my father helped my grandfather run his business. We lived there for eight years.  With the start of the war effort, we moved to Seattle where my father worked for Boeing. I attended the 4th through the 8th grades there.  As I recall, I was president of every class and captain of the baseball team.  I loved baseball and my first job was parking cars at Sick Seattle Stadium.  Between the 8th and 9th grades I moved with my parents to Richland, Washington.  In high school I
was a 3-year letterman in track, presi­dent of the senior class, and 5th in my class scholastically out of 225.  I was a Priest by then and received a spiritual testi­mony when I had the opportunity to baptize a neighbor boy,
Upon gradua-. tion, I attended the University of Washington in Seattle.  After four years I

graduated with a B.I. in mechanical engineering and entered the Air Force as a Second Lieutenant.  I became a pilot, fly­ing F-86D fighter planes in Texas and England.  By then I was an Elder and while in the service, my testimony grew greatly and I had a desire to fill a mission after my separa­tion.  Within six months after the service, I was called to ' the Central American Mission where I served for 2 1/2 years, primarily in administrative positions.  Upon my return, I attended BYU's new MBA program but interrupted my work there for a two-year period of law study at Stanford University where I met my wife, Virginia Marie Lutz.
We returned to complete the MBA in 1965, then worked for two years for the Bank of America and two more for BYU as Assistant Secretary of the Alumni Association, and finally pursued a Ph.D. in Finance at the University of Illinois in 1969.  That work completed two years later, we accepted a position with Washington State University.  I have been working in faculty and administrative positions there since.

I was raised in the cities of Richland and Seattle, Washington.  I went to high school at Franklin High in Seat­tle, where I was active in student government, football and track.  I went to the University of Washington for one year, joining the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity and majoring in engin­eering.  I entered military service for six months active duty in 1959, after which I served 2 1/2 years as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the Andes Mission (Peru and Chile).  When that mission was divided I passed from Chile to Peru, where I finished my labors in 1962.  I served under Pres. Sharp as district president, traveling Elder, and second counselor in the mission presidency.
Upon my return I entered BYU where I majored in Spanish. I married Barbara Ann Beard June 4, 1963 in the Logan Temple. I graduated with a B.A. degree in Spanish in 1965 and com­pleted a Masters degree in Spanish and Portuguese in 1967. Our first child was born June 30, 1967 and was named Louis Howard Quackenbush, II.  We moved to Champaign-Urbana, Illinois to continue my education that same year.  Brett Michael, our second son, was born October 3, 1969, and I received my Ph.D. degree in Latin American Literature with a specialization in drama and poetry in 1970.  In Sept. of that same year we moved back to Provo, Utah where I began teaching at BYU in the Spanish department.  In the spring of that year we directed a semester abroad to Spain and toured Europe with the students.
In 1971 we built a home in the Oak Hills district of Provo
406
where we are now living, Our third son, Todd Alex­ander was born March 18, 1972.  Besides my won­derful family, I love my church and my profession. I am actively engaged in research in my area.  I will be reading two pa­pers at regional and national conventions in my discipline this year (1973) and I have pub­lished several articles on subjects in Latin American literature and drama.  I also have a passion for the out­doors—hunting, fishing, camping: all of which keep my life active and busy.

Tenna Augusta Turley Huffaker
I am the seventh child of ER­NEST and CENTENNA WILSON TURLEY, and was born Feb. 23, 1914 in Colonia Juarez, Mexico.  On March 4, 1922 my father broke the ice in the river below our home to bap­tize me and I have been grateful as long as I can remember for being a Mormon and having the great heritage that is ours. Our Savior said "Let the little chil­dren come unto me and forbid them not."  That has been my life and my prayers, that I would be a goodly mother.
Our kind Father in Heaven had promised me in my patriarchal blessing that I would have many dreams of the night.  I have been healed by a Heavenly messenger who said, "Augusta, everything will be alright."


Our Beloved Heavenly Father awoke me twice in the middle of the night to write our son in Argentina so that he might be more effective in bringing many souls into the Church, and many, many more wonderful experiences.
I pray that our children's children will be brought up in the ways of the Lord and that we may each endure to the end in righteousness.  In 1968 I was chosen Mother of the Ward.  My husband and children were very joyous on this occasions.

Clara Ellen Turley Walser
CLARA ELLEN (NELLE) TURLEY, daughter of ISAAC and CLARA ANN TOLTQN TURLEY, was born July 13, 1881 in Snowflake, Ariz. She was the seventh of twelve children born to ISAAC and CLARA. When four years of age, she with her father's family moved to, and made their home in Colonia Juarez, Mexico, a Mormon colony then being established by a group of families of that faith.  In her early childhood she went through many of the hardships and priva­tions incident to early pioneer life and gained an accum­ulation of experi­ences that assisted her in solving prob­lems in later life.
NELLE attended school under suc­cessive teachers, viz. John M. MeFar1in, Annie C, Romney, Dennis E. Harris and wife.  She attended this school until the Colonies in Mex­ico were organized into the Juarez Stake, and the Juarez Academy was estab­lished in 1895. NELLE was a member of the first graduating class four years later.  At the age of 14 she became a member of the Juarez

Ward Choir, which was also the Stake Choir, under the direc­tion of John J. Walser.  She also was a member of the Colonia Juarez Dramatic Association under the direction of Miles Romney, At the age of sixteen she was sustained as secretary of Colonia Juarez Sunday School, which position she held until she left to go to Salt Lake City, Utah for medical treatment in 1904. Her treatment proved successful.
She was married in the Salt Lake Temple on June 29,1904 to GEORGE JASPER WALSER, son of John Jacob Walser and Annie Elizabeth Louisa Schaerrer Walser. Four of their eleven children were born in Colonia Juarez.  In Sept. 1909 GEORGE found it necessary to go to Miami, Arizona to seek employment to help pay for the home they had purchased in Mexico.  Early in 1910, NELLE and the four children joined GEROGE in Miami. The reunion was soon saddened by the death of their son Gordon on April 19, 1910.  He was buried the following day in the cemetery in Globe, Arizona, seven miles from Miami,
In May, 1910 a fire broke out in a house near theirs and was not brought under control until it had destroyed nineteen other houses including their own.  They lost practically everything but their clothing and bedding.  Until they could procure a place to live, GEORGE's sister Matilda and her husband, Albert C. Wagner, provided a place for the family to stay. Within a few days a two-room tent-house was built and made ready to move into.  This served nicely until Autumn. Enough money had been saved during this time to finish pay­ment on the home in Mexico.  By this time the Madera Revolu­tion had broken out, and as their home in Colonia Juarez was unoccupied, the decision was made to have the family return to Mexico to look after things and take care of any situation that might arise.  In early spring of 1911, GEORGE returned to Mexico to be with his family.
It soon became apparent it would be unsafe to remain in Mexico with the families until the Revolution should be term­inated, for the country was being overrun by irresponsible roving bands of rebels.  On July 17, 1912 Nellie Eva was born. Due mostly to the exciting times caused by the political situ­ation, NELLE didn't get along well after the birth of this child.  It was decided that all the Colonists would leave July 29 for the United States, to remain there until the country quieted down, so NELLE was taken aboard the train on a cot. They arrived in El Paso, Texas in the morning of July 30 and were taken to a large enclosure which had previously been used as a horse corral and a lumber yard. As that was no fit place for a sick wife and new infant, a large house was obtained temporarily where the family as well as GEORGErs parents and three other families were housed.  In a short time, all began to recuperate from the strain and make plans for the future. Within a month they returned to Miami where employment and housing had been procured.
On Nov. 8, 1913 Robert Eugene was born and six months later on May 26, 1914, he died following an illness of chicken pox, complicated by boils.  He was buried the follow­ing day in the Final Cemetery, Miamia, Arizona. Paul Leroy
422
was born March 10, 1915, the fifth son and seventh child. On Dec. 18, 1916 Joseph Jasper was born. On April 3, 1919 Karl Loraine was born. When about eighteen months of age he became suddenly ill with colitis and died on Sept. 10, 1920 and was buried the next day in the Final Cemetery. January 13, 1921 Aubrey Charles was born and Anthon Harold, the last child, was born Aug. 26, 1922.
NELLE was quite active in Church, civic, and social organ­izations.  She was instrumental in establishing the Parent-Teacher Organization in Miami, becoming its president in the high school.  She later was an organizer of P.T.A. in Greenlee, Gila, and Graham counties.  She was in the presidency of the Relief Society; teacher in the Genealogical Society; President of the Woman's Club and Literary Society; Director of the Girl Reserves of the YWCA; etc.
In 1933 she began to show signs of failing health.  She failed to improve under the care of the doctors in Miami so went to Mare Island, California on Sept. 3, 1933 to be with her daughter, Ruth, who was a nurse in the U.S. Navy stationed at the hospital there.  Upon examination by the doctors, surgery was deemed necessary for removal of a toxic goiter. She was hospitalized in hopes of improving her physical con­dition prior to the operation.  On Sept. 28 surgery was per­formed and she died later that day, after a sudden change in condition.  She was taken home to Miami for the funeral and burial Oct, 3, ,1933. All of her family were present when she arrived home.  There were represented at the funeral fifteen different religious, civic, fraternal, political, and social organizations who attended in bodies or groups.  It was the largest funeral ever held in Miami up to that time.  She was laid to rest in the family plot beside two of her sons who preceded her in death.  She was a beloved wife and mother and was greatly missed.
Her husband, GEROGE JASPER WALSER, married MARGARET LAYTON, a school teacher, on June 1, 1949 in the Salt Lake Temple.  She was born Aug. 7, 1882 in Kaysville, Utah to Christopher and Jane Elizabeth Bodily Layton.  MARGARET died May 21, 1956 in Salt Lake City and was buried in Kays­ville, Utah.  GEORGE died June 25, 1965 in Salt Lake City and was also buried in Kaysville.

George Dion Walsey
George Dion Walser, son of GEORGE JASPER and CLARA ELLEN (NELLE) TURLEY WALSER, was born May 8, 1905 in a two room lumber "Box House" in Colonia Juarez, Mexico.  Those present at his birth were his grand­mother CLARA ANN TURLEY, his father, and the midwife.  He was a large baby, weighing ten pounds at birth.  He was christened June 8, 1905 by Stake President Anthony W. Ivins.  He was a healthy child and grew rapidly.
In the spring of 1910 he with his mother and sister Ruth and brother Maurice Edward moved to Miami, Arizona to join their father who had preceded them to work for the Miami Copper Company.  In Jan. 1911 they returned to their home in Mexico.  His father remained in Miami to work until the latter part of March, when the Mexican Revolution became so threatening he decided to return home to be with his family during such troublesome times.
George was baptized in Miami May 8, 1913 and confirmed the same day, both by his father.  The family had returned to Miami in July 1912. He entered the Miami Public Schools at the age of seven and attended for eight years, but was not interested and often was truant.  His father then asked a dairyman to give him work at the dairy for a year regardless of the wage he paid and to give him plenty of work so by the next year he probably would be glad to go back to school.  However, the result was that George never could be induced to return to school.  He worked different places in various occupations, including the Miami Copper Company, the Inspiration Consolidated Copper Company, the wheat fields of Kansas, and scattered cities and towns in California,
George married Maud Wilson of Miami Feb. 25, 1927 in Deming, New Mexico. A few years later on August 7, 1937 they were divorced.  He later went to Washington and secured a job as a steam fitter in a shipyard in Seattle. He married Catherine Ingo, daughter of Pasquale Ingo and Margarede Farmlo, on Dec. 21, 1950 in Seattle, Washington.  She was born Nov. 25, 1911 in Seattle and died there Dec. 14, 1966.  He next married Betty Virginia Smith,
424
daughter of John William Smith  and Virginia Bell  Branch on April  6,   1968 in  Seattle.     She was born Feb.   9,   1915   in Mitchell,   South Dakota.     She died in  Seattle,   Nov.   4,   1975 with  internment  in Seattle.
During the  years he was   living in Seattle,   George became  very active in Union organizations.     It was  learned  from a  letter written by his wife Betty,   June  23,   1968:     "George keeps busy with his  Union work!'
Ruth Walser  Breillatt
I was born  in Colonia Juarez  on June  8,   1906  and blessed August  6  of  the  same year.     Early  in  1910 mother,   my  three brothers and I went to Miami,  Arizona to join father who was working as  a carpenter-millwright for the Miami Copper Co.     Soon after  our  arrival,   an infant brother,   Gordon, passed away.     In May of the same year,   fire broke out in a house nearby,   destroying 19 homes,   including our rented one. Unable to  save any of our belongings  except clothing and bedding,  we stayed with relatives until we were able to move to  a  tent-house.     During the Autumn of  1910  the  family and Mother returned  to Mexico,   for Father's  earnings  had  finished paying for our eight-room house.    Amidst the threatening conditions  of revolution,   on July  17,   1912 my  sister Nellie Eva was  born and mother,   still recovering,   had  to be  taken on the train on a cot when the Colonists  left for the United States on July 29.  After a month's stay in El Paso,  Texas, we left for Miami,  Arizona where Father again obtained a job.
That fall I started to school.     On June 8,   1914 I was baptized in the baptismal  font of  the Baptist Church and con­firmed by my father,   presi­dent of the LDS branch After  grad­
uation from Mia­
mi High School
in 1923  I did
office work for
two years  for
Miami Depart­
ment Store and
then entered nurse's  training Jan 1, 1926 at the Los Angeles  County
425


General Hospital.  After graduating in May, 1928 I took the State Board Examination and became a Registered Nurse. Following a visit home to Miami, I joined the U.S.N. Nurse Corps and left to serve in the U.S.N. Hospital in San Diego, Two years later, I was assigned to the Hospital Ship of the U.S. Fleet—the most rewarding experience of my entire nursing career.  In 1932 I was transferred to the U.S.N. Hos­pital, Mare Island, California; and there I met my future husband, Julian Paul Breillatt  a member of the U.S.N. Hospital Corps.Here,also, Mother came for medical treatment and surgery.  However, she died shortly after her operation, and I, grief-stricken, took her home for burial.

After resigning from the Navy in July, 1934, I married Julian at the Bishop's home in Globe, Aria, on Aug. 18, 1934 Because of the closing of the Temple, it was 21 years in Sept. 1955 before we were married in the Salt Lake Temple and our two children, Patricia Yvonne and Julian Paul, Jr., were finally sealed to us.  What a glorious day !
From 1934 until 1951, when Julian retired from the Navy, we were stationed and traveled in various parts of the world: Hawaii, Guam, China, Japan, Philippines, the United States, etc.  We were on Oahu, T.H. when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor Dec. 1, 1941.  While on Guam, 1947-48, I did Public Health Nursing for the government of Guam, and Social Service work for the American Red Cross.  There I learned much of and from the Guamanian and Chaomorran people.  After Julian's retirement following a coronary attack on his way home from Korea and Japan June 22, 1951, I returned to nursing in March, 1952.  I worked 7 1/2 years with the Permanente Medical Group (Kaiser) in Napa and Vallejo, California.  In August of 1959 I went to work as the Supervising Nurse in the Med­ical Department, U.S. Army Dispensary at Benicia, California. I remained there until Dec. 31, 1963 when the Arsenal was closed.  In Jan. of 1965 I went to work as a Staff Nurse at the U.S.A.F. Hospital, Hamilton A.F. Base, California where I remained until my retirement Dec. 30, 1966.  Thus I rounded out my service with all four of the uniformed Armed Services.
My Church positions have been many and varied.  I have taught teen-age or adult classes in Sunday School, been a Primary teacher, a YWMIA counselor and teacher on ward and stake level, a Relief Society teacher and visiting teacher, and a secretary.  My husband has also held many Church pos­itions since his baptism into the Church in early Sept., 1933 in Oakland, California.  He has been a teacher in the Sunday School, a stake missionary, in the presidency of the Stake Mission, ward clerk, stake clerk, High Priest Group Leader, and genealogy instructor.  Our children also have been active in Church activities and have always remained so.
My husband, Julian,_Paul Breillatt, was the son of Philip Paul Breillatt and Annie Taylor Barker and was born March 14, 1903 at Erie, Pennsylvania. Our children are:
Patricia Yvonne Breillatt, born July 9, 1936 in San
Pedro, California. Julian Paul Breillatt, Jr., born March 2, 1938 in Pen-
sacola, Florida.

Maurice Edward Walser
Maurice was born Jan. 24, 1908 to GEORGE and NELLE TURLEY WALSER at Colonia Juarez, Mexico.  He was blessed March 1, 1908 by Anthony W. Ivins.  The family moved to Miami, Ariz. on the spring of 1910 to join his father who had obtained employment with the Miami Copper Company in 1909.  They re­mained there until the Autumn of 1910 when it was deemed wise for the family to return to Mexico to occupy their home be­cause of the unsettled conditions due to outbreak of the Madera Revolution.  Father rejoined them in the spring of 1911.  On July 29, 1912 the family left Colonia Juarez with other colonists to go to the United States to remain until the country quieted down.  They remained in El Paso, Texas for about a month when they returned to Miami, Ariz. where em­ployment and housing had been obtained.
Maurice was baptized Jan. 24, 1916 at the Burch Pond, close to Miami, and was confirmed the same day; both by his father.  He was ordained a Deacon in 1920; a Teacher in 1924. He began school in the Miami Public Schools and graduated from Miami High School in 1925.  He was active in athletics and was a member of the basketball team.  He completed Machinist Apprenticeship at Miami Copper Company in June, 1929.
On June 6, 1931 Maurice married Lydia Nellie Graham at her home in Miami, Arizona.  Nellie was born Sept.12, 1906 in Santa Monica, California, daughter of Mortie Alfred and Fermoy Sullivan Graham.  She was a school teacher.  Their first son, Mortie George, was born June 7, 1932 in Miami. In 1934 the family moved to Ajo, Ariz. where Maurice worked for the Phelps Dodge Corporation as machinist and swing shift General Foreman until the last of Dec., 1940.  Their second
427
son, Graham Edward, was born Febr. 21, 1937 at Ajo, Arizona. Jan. 1, 1941 the family moved to Vallejo, California where Maurice worked at the Mare Island Naval Shipyard as Machinist and Toolmaker until June, 1946 when he transferred to Alameda Naval Air Station.  There he worked as Toolmaker and Foreman through May, 1971 when he retired.  Their third son, William Paul, was born May 19, 1950 at Vallejo, California. All three of Maurice's sons were very active as was their father right along with them.  All three attained their Eagle Scout Awards.
They moved to their present home in Alameda, California in June, 1955.  They were honored on their 40th Wedding An­niversary June 6, 1971 with a reception in their Alameda home hosted by their three sons, Mortie's wife and children. Numerous relatives and friends attended.

Nellie Eva Walser Talbott Newman

On July 17, 1912 my birth at Colonia Juarez, Mexico came at a crucial time of concern to my parents, GEORGE JASPER and CLARA ELLEN TURLEY.  At the-time they were concerned for their lives at the hands of Pancho Villa and his renegades, and leaving the Colony for safety measures.  Twelve days follow­ing my birth, arrangements were made for several families to leave and go by boxcar to El Paso, Texas,  My parents took me and my three older sib­lings on this journey.  I can remember my mother relating how she slept on a mattress on the floor of the box-car with a pis­tol under her pillow for protec­tion should the train be stopped enroute by renegades. Following the exodus my parents settled in Miami, Ariz. where they raised their family of eight and suffered the loss of three additional male children at a very young age.
My childhood memories revolve around my father and mother. His employment required a working schedule which included every day of the year with the exception of three holidays: Christmas, Fourth of July, and Labor Day.  Mother's life was devoted to the care of her family from dawn to late evening. She was never too exhausted to respond to those who came to her for aid.  Father's church affiliation as bishop for twelve years and his employment provided little or no time to devote to family group activity other than programmed by the Church. He never failed, however, to be present for any school func­tion in which his children were participants.  As a female contender in competition with six brothers, my earlier years were spent competing with them in games and activities re­sulting in my being classified as a tomboy.  As a result, this deterred an early interest in dating.  My education consists of graduating from the Miami High School in 1931 and from Gila Junior College in Thatcher, Ariz. in 1933.  Further education consists of business courses taken in the Fresno Junior College and one quarter at Southeast Oregon College in Ashland, Oregon.
At age 22 (Nov. 10, 1934) I married William Douglas Tal­bott , born Nov. 22, 1909 at Durango, Colorado to" Charles and Neva Van Dusen Talbott.  We were married in Miami, Arizona. Thereafter, until 1938, most of those years were lived within Gila County where our first child, Nelle Ann, was born Aug. 11, 1937 in Miami.  Mr. Talbott worked in construction which required a great deal of moving about.  He was affiliated with road and dam construction (Carl Pleasant and Horse Mesa

Dams).  In June, 1938 we moved to California and lived in Nevada City for two years before going to Fresno, where our second child, Sharron Sue was born Nov. 3, 1940.  In 1948
we moved to Grants Pass, Oregon where both Nelle and Sharron graduated from high school.  Both girls married after completing their education and are living in Medford. Oregon. In 1958 my husband and I moved to Ashland, Ore. where we had been in resi­dence only one year when he passed away suddenly after suffering a heart attack.  Only five months prior to his demise, April 25, 1959, he was baptized Into the Church.
Following my husband's passing, I moved to Cres­cent City, Cal. where I was employed as Supervisor in the Juvenile Hall.  Two and one half years later I went into the Probation Department, working up to Assistant Probation Officer, and have since maintained that position.  Complete devotion to my work was given for a six-year period
until I married William Jennings Newman in Washoe County, Reno, Nevada Sept. 8, 1965.Prior to our marriage Mr. Newman was a widower of nine years after losing his wife, Betty Alameda nee Urling in an automobile accident.  He has two children, born of his prior marriage:  Patrick Henry and Nancy Ann.  He is currently employed in the Del Norte County, California Building and Maintenance Dept, Our greatest hobby is ocean fishing in our 19 foot seagoing boat.  Salmon fishing is a great sport in which we parti­cipated this past year with great success.  We prefer the bottom fish, however, and en­joy this immensely and shared our catch with relatives and friends.

Paul Leroy Walser
I was born March 10, 1915 in Miami, Ariz., arriving one day after the family moved into their house on Red Springs Hill, owned by the Miami Copper Company.  I was blessed April 8, 1915 by my father, GEORGE JASPER WALSER.  I attended all twelve grades in Miami, graduating June 1, 1932.  While attending high school I belonged to the Hi-Y Club, was president 1931-32; Thespian Club, was president 1931-32; and lettered in football 1931-32.  I attended one semester at Ariz. Teacher's College in Tempe, Ariz.  From Jan., 1933 to Sept. 1935 I had various, miscellaneous, not important jobs in and around Miami.  This was during the Depression years. From Sept.1935 to June, 1940 I worked my way through the U. of A. at Tucson and received a B.S. degree in Civil Engineer­ing.  While at the University I belonged to the Sigma Nu and Theta Tau.  Upon graduation from there I was employed by Arizona Highway Department from June 1940 to June 1941,
On June 30, 1941 I enlisted in the Air Corps Branch of the U.S. Army as Aviation Cadet, and was sent to Chanute Field, Illinois.  At the outbreak of World War II I was sent to Foster Field, Victoria, Texas in December 1941 and com­missioned there as a 2nd Lieutenant, Squadron Engineering Officer.  In Dec. of 1942 I attended P-47 Engine School at Republic Aircraft, Farmingdale, New York. While there I met
431
my future wife, Doris Elizabeth Lang, daughter of Albert Hilton and Charlotte Wilson Lang of Forest Hills, New York.  Doris was born Aug. 18, 1921 at Brook­lyn, New York.  Also while at Foster Field I was sent to Allison Engine School at Indian­apolis, Ind. for the month of Oct. 1943.  I requested and received a transfer from Foster Field in April, 1944 and was sent to Presque Isle, Maine, an Air Transport Base where I remained until Nov., 1944 when I was trans­ferred to McDill Air Force Base, Tampa, Florida to form Cadres for Aviation Engineering Battalion.  I helped form Battalion and trained men at Greenville, South Carolina, shipped to Pacific Theater in Feb. 1945, embarking from Ft. Lewis, Seattle, Wash. Before shipping out, Doris and I were married Feb. 11, 1945 at the Episcopal Church, Forest Hills, New York.  Via Hawaii and Guam I arrived at Saipan, Marinus Islands in March of 1945; then to Okinawa in July 1945.  I was returned to the U.S. in Dec. 1945 and discharged as Captain in A.A.F. April 26, 1946  I   was Company Commander in Engineers from McDill Field, Fla. Nov., 1944 until discharge.  I have resided in New York State from then to date (1972).
I held various engineering jobs until 1947, when I became a Construction Engineer for Texaco, Inc.  I held this job until May, 1959 when I was employed by the Atomic Research Center at Upton, New York.  I am still employed by them as a Facility Engineer.  I received my Professional Engineering License in the state of New York by examination April 21, 1953.  Our present residence is in Belle Terre, a small incorporated village adjacent to Port Jefferson, which is located on Long Island Sound.

Joseph Jasper Walser
I attended Miami High School and graduated in 1934.  I attended Aeronautical Institute of Technology, sheet-metal and riveting (aircraft) in Los Angeles, Calif, and graduated in the fall of 1940.  I entered the Civilian Conservation Corps in Jan., 1935 in Arizona and moved to a camp in Color­ado in the spring of 1935 and was in that camp until Aug., 1936 when I received an Honorable Discharge from the Corps to go back to school.  I enrolled at the Univ. of Ariz. that Sept. and was in school for approximately two months before I had to drop out.  I went to Nevada City, Calif, shortly afterwards and went to work.  I had Various jobs in and around Nevada City until the  summer of 1937 when I returned to Miami, Ariz.  I was unable to obtain regular work at home and again left for Calif, to obtain work.  This time I went to San Francisco where in time I did obtain employment.  I had various jobs, always looking for something better in working conditions and better pay.  I eventually left San Francisco and entered the Aeronautical Institute of Technology, hoping that after I finished their courses and graduated I would obtain a good, secure job.  This school was only one of the many crooked ones that were running at that time and nothing came of it except disappointment.  I returned to San Francisco and went back to working in restaurants which I had been doing before leaving there.  I finally went to work for the Calif. State Division of Highways in May, 1941.  I took a leave of absence from the Division of Highways and went into the U.S. Merchant__Marine in the middle of 1942.  I remained there over two years.  When I left the Merchant Marine at the end of World War II, I returned to work with the Division of Highways, working in San Francisco, then San Jose, on to Fresno and then back to San Jose where I have remained up to this time (1972).  I am hoping to stay here in San Jose for another 7 years and then I hope to retire:  That will give me 39 years work with the Highway Department.
I met my wife, Margaret (Peggy) Silya in Fresno, Calif. We were married in Las" Vegas, Nevada on Oct. 9, 1951.  She was born June 9, 1910 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the daughter
433
of Clarence and Gertrude Torrez Silva. My wife had five children from a previous marriage to Timothy H. Bustamente. I am a member of the Masonic Lodge of Los Gatos, California and the B.P.O.E. Elks Lodge of San Jose.  I hold the office of Priest in the Church,  I hate to say it, but I am not very active in the Church.  We have lived here in San Jose for about twenty years.  The sport I like to engage in is deep sea fish­ing.  I do not engage in other sports but do enjoy watching almost any kind of sport.

Aubrey Charles Walser
Aubrey, son of GEORGE and NELLE TURLEY WALSER, was born Jan. 13, 1921 in Miami, Arizona.  He had a normal childhood, enjoying good health and the usual activities for a growing boy.  He attended the public schools in Miami, and graduated from Miami High School in 1938.  Aubrey greatly enjoyed being out-of-doors and after graduation, spent considerable time in prospecting, accompanied by his pet dog.  He attended the University of Arizona prior to enlisting in the Army Dec. 20, 1941.
Almost three years were spent at various Army Posts in the U.S. prior to going over to Europe.  His superior officers tried in vain to persuade Aubrey to attend Officer's Candidate School as he demonstrated Fine' leadership qualities, but he preferred to remain in an enlisted status, asserting his belief that "he could accomplish more in training the men than if he were an officer."  Sgt. Aubrey  Walser was a member of the 638th  , Tank destroyer Battalion, Recon-naisance Company of the Ninth Army.
A family reunion was held in March, 1944 in Vallejo, California at the home of his sister, Ruth, where all his father's children with their families, except George Dion and Joseph Jasper, joined with their father in a very fine reunion and a very happy time was enjoyed by all.
In Sept., 1944 Aubrey went to Europe where he participated in the Ninth Army counter-attack into Belgium.  He fought through Germany and got across the Rhine River before his death.  The last
letter our father received from Aubrey Charles Walser him, dated March 30, 1945 stated
he had shot down 17 targets (tanks) the day before. He was killed April 5, 1945, according to a War Department message received by his father,
434
He is buried in the U.S. Military Cemetery two or three miles from Margraten, Holland, which is about twelve miles from the German border.  In the spring of 1953 our father and step-mother, MARGARET LAYTON WALSER, went to Europe. While in Germany they took a side-trip into Holland to visit the grave where Aubrey is buried.  The cemetery is beauti­fully situated and maintained. While there our father ded­icated the grave, thus fulfilling a desire he had ever since Aubrey's burial.  It was one of the chief objectives of the trip for the family.  On Oct. 12, 1946 our father was proxy for Aubrey in the Salt Lake Temple where his work was completed,

Isaac  Turley Jr.
I, ISAAC TURLEY, JR., was born on April 11, 1888 to CLARA ANN TOLTON and ISAAC TURLEY, SR. in Colonia Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico.  I was my mother's tenth child, and the first child of my parents to be born in Mexico, where they had migrated along with many other American families.  Some of my earliest recollections are of the primitive manner in which we lived, such as;  the crude shelters, having to haul water from the creek one-half mile away, clearing the land of mesquite brush and wild growth of trees, and leveling the ground in preparation for the construction of homes, outbuildings, and fences.  My father was one of the first men who went into the Sierra Madre Mountains west of the colony to build a saw­mill which was to furnish the lumber for the construction of the homes and public buildings.
I was a very small boy when my father took a triple-bed wagon and a four-mule team to San Bernardino, California, to bring a good variety of fruit trees to the colonies for the needs of the people.  That area proved to be a choice elevation for the growing of fruit, it being 4,500 ft. elevation, the same as that of Provo, Utah.  The colonies in Mexico, even now, ship out thousands of carloads of fruit each year.  Some of the fruit that I remember enjoying as a boy were:  Royal Apricots, Bartlett Pears, Delicious Apples, Prunes, Grapes, Peaches, Quince, Currants, Raspberries, English Walnuts and Almonds.  My father shared young fruit trees with other col­onists who desired to grow fruit. Also, he gave boxes of fruit to many people who had not planted trees. .
At five years of age, I was given responsibilities of doing chores, such as tending calves, feeding pigs and chickens, milking cows and taking them to pasture. When these chores were done, many times my mother had other jobs for me such as washing dishes, scrubbing clothes over the washboard, and helping to cook, sweep and scrub floors.  Learning to take those responsibilities early has been a great advantage to me throughout my life.  "We are never too young nor too old to learn to do things." It was during those early years that
437
my mother's teachings had a great influence upon my life. She taught me absolute honesty, and to respect the rights and property of others, and the importance of observing the law of tithing, among all of her other teachings.  Things that I learned in Primary, from age five to twelve years, have remained with me all my life.  Our Primary president, Sister Maggie Ivins Bentley, was a noted artist.  Her home was like an art gallery, with the walls covered with her beautiful oil paintings.  All of the children under her supervision in Primary, who cared to take art lessons, were given that op­portunity, free of charge.  From that early age, I have had a deep appreciation and love for art.  Since that time, I have gone into several phases of it.  I took a two-year course with Professor O.D. Campbell, who was an instructor at the Brigham Young University.
At age twelve, I was ordained a Deacon, and was soon made the secretary of the Deacons Quorum.  Charles Burrell and I promoted an interest in singing in that quorum.  It was from that early beginning that I developed a life-long interest in music and singing.  I started at age fourteen to sing in the Ward Choir under the direction of John J. Walser. I have sung in Ward and Stake Choirs and choruses for special occasions for seventy-two years.  In October, 1927 I sang in the special Combined Choir from the roof-top of the Arizona Temple during its three-day dedication ceremonies.  President Heber J. Grant, President of the Church at that time, was present on that occasion.  Between the ages of eighteen and twenty-four years, I was the Baptizer for the Juarez Ward, following Brother John C. Harper's service in that position. During that time I baptized many people.  It was my privilege also to serve as Ward Clerk.
At about seventeen years of age, I helped my father make the tools for the cutting of the decorative pink sandstone for the construction of the windows, foundation, and pillars of the Juarez Stake Academy.  About one year later, I expressed to my father my desire to get a job and start to earn something for myself, as all of my older brothers had done.  He told me that because I was the youngest son, he needed my help in the fields, at home, and in the pasture, taking care of the cattle.  He was advanced in years and was not able to do all of it himself.  He said that he was making a will in which he specified that the family home and part of one field would be mine, if I would assume the responsibility to care for him and my mother in their later years, and my youngest sister, Anna, until she had her education and was married.  And she, being the youngest child at home, was also to receive some property.  His property that he left in Snowflake when he moved to Mexico was given to his older boys who remained there.
Besides helping my father make the tools to cut the pink sandstone for the decorative part of the Juarez Stake Academy, I was asked to help Samuel E. McClellan with the carpenter work on the same building, because of my former training with him.  We laid the sub-floors and top-floors, and did the fin­ishing carpenter work.  During the time I worked on the Academy
438
I was paid 50 cents per month, which was enough for one dance ticket.  I did various other carpenter jobs throughout the Stake, as, years later, I was employed by the Dublan Mill Co. to put the mill in order with bins, hopper, conveyors, elevators, and all other parts that had to do with carpenter work: to receive the grain, and produce the flour and other milling products.  From there, I did cement work on the Dublan Chapel, and after that was done, I was in charge of the car­penter work on that same building, doing all of the finish-work on the stairways, cabinets, floors, etc.  Upon the com­pletion of that work, I was asked to go to Colonia Pacheco, up in the mountains, and help with the construction of the Chapel there.  The last construction that I did on Juarez Stake buildings was on the Academy Gymnasium.  I practically built the entire building by myself, from 1933-1936.
My father and I had worked very closely together during the years as I grew up:  I helped him in the blacksmith shop, blowing the bellows, and heating the steel and iron for the blacksmithing.  We worked together in the garden and the or­chards, picking and drying fruit,and planting and harvesting grain and alfalfa in the fields.  All through my life I was very close to him.  He was a man of very keen understanding of people.  Many came to him for advice.  He was on the High  , Council of the Juarez Stake for many years.         ,
As a young man of about twenty years of age, I was back in the mountains, hunting at Thanksgiving time with my older brother, ERNEST, and my nephew, Marion W. Turley.  During the night, I was awakened by the very strong impression that if we wanted to see father alive, we would have to hurry home as fast as possible.  Immediately, I woke the other boys and told them of the urgency to leave at once, which we did, traveling all day and until 11:00 that night.  We found him still alive, but rapidly growing weaker.  He lived until 11:00 o'clock the following night, when he passed away, holding my hand.  I was grateful for the warning that I had received, for otherwise, we would not have known about his condition, he having been in apparent good health when we left.
I missed my father a great deal, and could not imagine what he could be doing and why he was taken from me when I needed him.  These thoughts were constantly on my mind.  Three years after his death, as I was sitting one afternoon in the living room of our home in Colonia Juarez wondering about him as usual, I suddenly felt his presence, and I looked toward the north wall, where he seemed to be, and suddenly the wall appeared to open, allowing him to step through as though nothing impeded his entrance, letting me know that spiritual beings have power over physical of temporal things.  He walked over and stood about six feet from me, and about one foot above the floor.  He appeared to be full of vigor.  He emphatic­ally told me, "ISAAC, because you are constantly thinking of me, you are hindering me in my progress in the work that I have been assigned to do,  I am teaching the Gospel of Jesus ;. Christ to myriads of people who did not have the privilege of hearing it when they lived upon the earth.  You must study
439
and seek learning, to prepare yourself for service here, and live according to the teachings that you have received from your childhood, because there is no other teaching nor other religion that will be accepted by our Heavenly Father, or that will take you to the Celestial Kingdom, except the Gospel of Jesus Christ."  He seemed to be in a hurry, for when he had finished speaking, he started to leave me, and once more he said, "Now, don't worry over me any more, I'm all right!" With that, he walked on across the room and disappeared in the same manner in which he had entered.
Not long after the incident of seeing my father, I re­ceived my patriarchal blessing in which I was promised that when I met the one that I was to marry, I would recognize her the first time I would see her, by the same familiar feeling that I had for her in our preexistence.  This was verified when I was twenty-four years old.  An attractive black-haired young lady who had come to Colonia Juarez from Colonia Dublan to enroll at the Juarez Stake Academy was walking down the sidewalk.  Our eyes met, as I, on the opposite side of the street, was tying up my horse in front of the Co-op Store. At that instant, I knew that IDA MAY LAKE was to be my wife. Six months later, on July 4, 1912 we were married in her home in Colonia Dublan by Bishop Thurber.  Because of the threats and dangers of the Mexican Revolution, we were not able at that time to go to the United States to be married in the Temple.
We had been married three weeks when the Stake Pre­sidency assigned me to take the message to the .mountain colonies, advising the colonists of the threats of the revolutionists, and to prepare to leave their homes immedi­ately and to bring only a few meager belongings.  The elderly people and the women and chil­dren were to leave for El Paso, Texas on the "Nor-oeste" Train from Pearson before the bridges should be burned. The young and mid­dle-aged men were to remain, to attempt to make a peaceful settlement with the revolutionists.  Salazar, with his army, came through Colonia Juarez and Colonia Dublan.  They demanded that we join the army and fight, but we declared that we were neutral, and would not fight on either side, so they demanded our guns

and ammunition, and all available horses.  Among other acts of violence against us they killed our good milk cows, with little calves, in our corrals, and cut the hindquarters off the cows and left the dead carcasses.  We remained for several days after our families left on the train.
The night I left, I gathered up a few provisions such as flour, salt, and a ten-pound lard bucket filled with home­made butter Co take with me. Also, I took a broomstick, which I planned to use to help me get over the ledges above town. As I climbed over the back fence, I met five red-flaggers riding down the street, leading a horse.  I pointed the broom­stick at them and demanded the extra horse.  In the rainy darkness, which was occasionally illuminated by flashes of lightning, they thought my broomstick was a rifle, so they threw the horse's tie-rope at me and they galloped on down the street.  I picked up my friend, Oliver Breinholt, as I left town.  We were grateful to have the horse, as we tried to pursue the townsmen who had left much earlier.  The rest of the 800 men had their own horses with which to make the trek to El Paso, where our families were waiting for us.
During the next seven years, my wife, my mother, and my sister, Anna, lived in Beaver and St. George, Utah, where IDA MAY and I were married in the St. George Temple on Jan. 29, 1913.  During World War I, from 1916 to 1918, I worked in a mortuary, building caskets and embalming.  Not long after the war began, .many people died during the great German Flu Epidemic.  In many cases, entire families died of the dread disease.  Those of us who prepared the dead for burial had to use the greatest of precaution in order to preserve our health and that of our families.  During our years there, I was Stake Sunday School Secretary and Ward Clerk, as well as a teacher in the auxiliary organizations.  Three of our chil­dren were born in St. George.
In November, 1919, I took my family back to Colonia Juarez to re-establish ourselves, as did many of the other colonists who had been driven out of Mexico during the Rev­olution.  There I served as a counselor in the Juarez Ward Bishopric for three years, from 1919-1922.  On May 10, 1921 a ten-pound baby boy was born to us, but he passed away at birth.
Earlier in my life, a close friend, Neil Bunker, met with a fatal accident when his horse fell with him.  He was in a coma for three months before his death.  Because of this, and the accidents and sickness of others, I resolved to ex­haust every effort to find some means of relieving the suf­fering of those who needed help.  Therefore, every book, or source of information along that line, was of special in­terest to me.  Later, in view of the fact that there were no medical doctors in the Colonies, and knowing of my interest in caring for the sick and injured in the community, Bishop John Jacob Walser invited me to his home, where he gave me a special blessing, in which he promised me that I would be successful in aiding many who would need my help.  That bles­sing was a great strength to me, and the promises I received
441
have been verified on many difficult occasions.  Among other services, I have delivered many babies, both among the Mexican and American people, and have answered many calls for help.  On some occasions, I have gone horseback into the mountains in snow two or three feet deep to render assistance in delivering babies and in cases of accidents.
While in the bishopric, it was my responsibility to or­ganize the activities of the young men of the ward.  We formed teams, in baseball, basketball and volleyball, and raised the necessary funds to purchase our suits and equipment.  We traveled to the other colonies, and to Pearson, Chihuahua City, Madera, Ciudad Juarez and Casas Grandes to challenge their teams.  We chose Owen Skousen to be the leader of our team.  Good sportsmanship was our motto.  Many close, ex­citing games were played.  I played on the team until I was sixty years of age.
My mother, who had been living alternately with me and my brother, EDWARD, passed away after several months of ill­ness in the old home in Colonia Juarez on Sept. 4, 1932 of cancer of the stomach.  She was buried the following day be­side my father and Aunt SARAH in the town cemetery on the southwest side of the colony"
I served on seven Stake Missions, four of which were served in the Colonies, and three in the Mesa, Ariz. area.  My wife, IDA MAY, and I served together on three of those missions. IDA MAY and I lived about six months in Mexico City with our daugh­ter, Viola, and her husband and family, where we joined them in helping to promote missionary work through the organizations of the Sunday Schools and Primaries throughout the entire Mexican Mission.  While there, we were called to go to Arizona to work in the temple.  During twelve years' time, in which I helped to supervise the baptismal work in the Temple, more than one million baptisms were done.  I did approximately 3,500 endowments, and stood as proxy in thousands of sealings, and did 4,000-5,000 initiatory, besides working for ten years at the clothing counter during the evening sessions.  My dear wife served along with me at the clothing counter and did many endowments and sealings until April, 1968, when her health failed her.  Gradually her condition worsened until her death in a Mesa Hospital on December 18, 1968.  She has been greatly missed at the Temple and in our Tenth Ward, where she had served as a counselor and a teacher in the Relief Society.  She was very strong in her convictions of honesty and righteous living.  Her life was one of great ser­vice to those in need, both temporally and spiritually.
Since the death of IDA MAY, I have spent a great deal of my time while alone in underlining the most important chapters and verses in Books of Mormon.  I have given many copies of those to non-LDS people who have come to my home for foot therapy treatments.  This has been a means of bring­ing quite a number of people into the Church.
As I begin my eighty-eighth year of life, in retrospect,
442
I think of the motivating powers behind my labors and the
things that I have tried to accomplish.  The early teachings
and example of my parents, the constant help of my good com­
panion, and the love and devotion of my children, and my
faith in God have been my sources of strength throughout my
life.
I feel greatly blessed in my posterity of three living children, twenty-three grandchildren and forty-six great grandchildren.  I am grateful to the Lord for His guidance and protection, for I would not have lived these many years, had He not warned me of danger on serveral occasions, and if I had not heeded those warnings which He gave me.  I am grateful that He has spared me, that I might use His influence in telling others of His great truths, the Plan of Life and Salvation unto all who would heed His Word, and repent, and be numbered in His flock.  It is my constant prayer that we, as a family, will prove faithful to those principles which motivated our great ancestors.

Melvin Isaac Turley
When five years of age my father moved his family to Colonia Juarez, Mexico.  I went through elementary school and high school in Colonia Juarez.  In 1934 I was called to the Mexican Mission.  I worked 16 months in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon.  From there I was called to be translator for the Spanish speaking missions of the Church.  I spent five months
443
in El Paso and eleven months in Mexico City in that capacity. After my release I met Laree Cluff of Colonia Pacheco.  We were married Oct. 18, 1938 in the Arizona Temple.
Laree Cluff was born Jan. 17, 1915 in Thatcher, Ariz, She was the daughter of Heber Manasseh Cluff, Jr., and Amanda Rebecca Mortensen.  When she was three years old her father moved his family to Colonia Garcia.  She went to school in Colonia Pacheco and the Juarez Stake Academy and graduated from Mesa Union High School.  She taught school in the Juarez Stake- School System prior to her marriage.  For a year and a half prior to our marriage and for about six months after, I worked in Colonia Dublan as bookkeeper and assistant manager of the Bowman Flour Mill.  I was also Stake Clerk of the Juarez Stake during this time and two years after.
At the time we were married we went to Monterrey and Mexico City on our honeymoon.  Upon our return we had a re­ception in Colonia Dublan; that night I came down with typhoid fever and had a very serious case of it.  Three other boys, close friends in the same town, came down with it about the same time; one boy died from it.  Between the original sickness and the subsequent setbacks, this lasted for three months. Then, when I was apparently over it and went back to work at the flour mill, I had developed an allergy to wheat dust and after working a week at the mill would be down again with a fever.  This happened three or four times until finally, for my health's sake, we decided to move to Pacheco and I took a deal to share-crop for Harlem Johnson.  Health-wise it was a good move, I soon regained my good health; but financially the first year was nothing to brag about—the rains were late and the frost was early, therefore, the crops were poor. We did have plenty to eat:  a good garden, we raised our milk and eggs and our ham and bacon and lard, but our net profit for the farming season was $312.00 Pesos.
Laree's health was not so good after she had nursed me back to health and for several months she had serious problems. Neither doctors' prescriptions nor home remedies seemed to do much good until we took her to Aunt Ida Kartchner in Col­onia Garcia.  During the three weeks Aunt Ida treated her in her own home, Laree gained almost a pound of weight per day and got back her normal health.  Not long after that we had prospects of our first child.
By the time our third child was born I had acquired a truck and the store in Colonia Pacheco, had taught school a year and a half, had continued my farming and had acquired some farm land of my own.  The trucking and store were beginning to pay off.  Then in the evening of March 2, 1943 I was set apart during stake conference in Colonia Juarez as Bishop of Pacheco Ward with two dependent branches: Garcia and Williams' Ranch.  During this same night, early March 3, 1943 our third child, Clarence Maurice, was born in Colonia Pacheco.  I was very concerned about Laree being • alone during this time, but Aunt Maggie Johnson, midwife, took very good care of her and everything was okay.
444
In 1954 I was released as Bishop of Pacheco Ward and was called to be second counselor in the Juarez Stake Presidency until 1957 when the Stake was reorganized.  I was then called to be Stake Mission President for about a year and a half.
Business-wise:  in 1949 I took over the Pacheco sawmill and operated it very successfully for a little over a year. Then, as the previous owner wanted to exercise his option to take it back and work on a joint-venture basis and this didn't work out, I had to give it up.  We moved to Colonia Juarez and engaged in trucking and the poultry business until late 1956 when I bought the Cliff Whetten store.  This turned out to be a disaster as the store was involved in doing business with a large number of credit customers; this finally forced me to close down the store and move to the United States,
A brief outline of where we have lived and our work as follows:  1959-1961 in Mesa, Arizona; various jobs connected with construction, mostly.  1961 in Heber, Ariz.; built 3-story Canyon View Motel, helped on new chapel.  1962-68 in Snowflake; worked South West Forest Industries Paper Mill, also ran Mel Turley Oil Co .--wholesale and retail gas, diesel and oil.  Principal purpose was to give my boys work where I could work with them,  1968-71 in insurance; moved to Provo in 1970 as got bid on BYU Health Insurance.  1971-73 in land and subdivision (mobile home) Pleasant Grove Mobile Estates. 1974 Laree and I had an auto accident, quite serious.  Laree had tc have brain surgery; I had 9 broken bones.  Her recovery has been quite slow.  1974-76 in Guadalajara, Mexico; assisting sons administration businesses.  1976 to present in Pleasant Grove; sales of gas and oil interest, am working toward getting into land development again.
During all these years our callings in the Church have been rich, rewarding and varied.  Laree has worked in Primary and Scouting, has taught most of the Relief Society study courses, was president of Navajo Branch Relief Society, a Sunday School secretary, and Youth Genealogy.  We have both been set-apart Temple workers.  I have been in Priesthood leadership and was Stake Patriarch in Guadalajara.

George Lake Turley
I was born to ISAAC TURLEY, JR. and IDA MAY LAKE TURLEY at St. George, Utah on Dec. 16, 1916.  Here I lived until my parents moved back to Colonia Juarez.  They had lived here prior to the Exodus of the Saints in 1912 as a result of the Mexican revolution.  I was reared in Colonia Juarez and attended elementary and high school.  My parents taught me that work is a great virtue.  I shall ever be grateful for the great teachers they were through their example.  I was also taught the importance of the Gospel.  I was active in Church activities and filled a mission in Mexico (1937-40).
Another very important event in my life was the temple marriage solemnized in the Mesa Temple with Retha Shupe on April 1, 1941.  Soon after our marriage, we moved to Pachuca, Hidalgo, Mexico where I was employed by a mining company and where I was made branch president.  It was here that our first son, George LaVon, was born on March 11, 1942.  We returned to the Colonies in Chihuahua in August, 1943, where I was employed as principal and teacher of Juarez Elementary School.
It was during the next 15 years that four more precious children were added to our family.  During these years Retha and I attended summer school at BYU and two years (1961-63) obtaining our B.A. degree May, 1963.
I served on the Juarez Stake High Council from 1953-55 when I was made bishop of Juarez Ward and served in this cap­acity until June, 1961.  I was called to serve as Superinten­dent of Juarez Schools in the Colonies in February, 1963 which position I held until June, 1964 when I was called to preside over the West Mexican Mission.  Upon being released from the Mission, I served as Supervisor of Church Schools in the northwest area of Mexico.  In June of 1963 I was called to direct all Church Schools in Mexico and moved my wife and Robert to Mexico City.  Here we served until June, 1974, at which time I was given a leave of absence for health reasons. Retha and I were employed again in Juarez Elementary School, she as a teacher and I as Director, where we continued to work under less pressure and a more peaceful environment
We have assisted our four older children to obtain col­lege degrees and are now assisting Robert at Ricks College. We were able to support Kenneth who served a mission for the Church in Mexico, and Robert plans on filling a mission when
450
he is of age.  Our four older children have been successful in the choice of out­standing companions and have made mar­riage vows.

Linda Turley Turner
April 1, 1949 brought to the home of George and Retha Turley another fine daughter, Linda.  This happens to be the wedding anniversary of her parents.
I attended Juarez schools until our family moved to. Provo, Utah, where I attended Farrer Jr. High until we moved back to Colonia Juarez where I attended grades 8, 9, and 10.  When I was 14 years of age my parents were called to preside over the West Mexican Mission, so I remained in Colonia Juarez with my brother Kenneth Willard to live with our grandparents, Willard and Bertha Shupe.  While our family was residing in Provo, I had the opportunity to begin violin lessons from my cousin, Glenda Mae Haws Brady.  In 1965 I was placed on a bus and sent to Sugar City, Id. to attend Sugar-Salem High School and to study violin under C. LaMar Barrus at Ricks College and to play with the Idaho Falls Commun­ity Symphony Orches­tra under him.  I returned to Hermosillo, Sonora during the summer to be with my parents in between their trips around the mission     Richard, Linda and Tristan Turner

and to care for my younger brother, Robert. In the fall of 1966 I moved to Salt Lake City to attend and graduate from East High School.  In the summer of 1967 I began college life at BYU.  During the summer of 1968 I spent some time living with my parents in Mexico City and studying with BYU Travel Study.  I graduated from BYU in 1970.with a B.A.in Spanish and English literature,
Linda married William Richard Turner of Clearfield, Utah on Nov. 25, 1969 in the Salt Lake Temple.  After we moved to Midway, Utah in 1970 I began employment with a dentist, Dr. Glade Tregaskis.  Later that year I commenced teaching English and Spanish at Wasatch Jr. High School. I taught from 1971-73.  During the year 1972-73 I had the opportunity of studying the violin at the Univ. of Utah under Dr. David A. Shand.  Since the birth of their beauti­ful daughter, Tristan Lee, on Sept. 17, 1973, she says she is content to remain at home and work at being a wife, mother, and church worker.  Linda has served as cultural refinement teacher in Relief Society, in the MIA presidency, and as stake Laurel Advisor.  Since the above was written, a son, Richard Nathan, was born.
William Richard Turner, Linda's husband, was born Sept. 10, 1944 in Provo to William Roylance and Clara Duke Turner. He filled a mission in the Texas Mission 1963-65.  He grad­uated in 1969 from BYU with a degree in business management. In Octo. of 1969 he began employment with First Security Bank of Utah.  In Dec. 1970 Richard became Assistant Branch Mana­ger for the bank in Heber City.  In 1972 he became a Branch Manager for Deseret Federal Savings and Loan Association in Heber City, Utah.  Richard has been active in Church act­ivities through his life.  He is presently serving as Elders Quorum president in the Midway 1st Ward, Heber City Stake. He is also an avid sportsman.  Hunting and fishing are his specialties.  He is an expert on rifles and ballistics.  Fly fishing is another of his specialties.  His family is a very closely knit one; this being the result of a father who was willing to spend great amounts of time on hunting and fishing expeditions with his sons,  Richard hopes to use this example
in rearing his own family.

Viola May TurLey Haws
I was born on Jan. 26, 1919 in St. George, Utah to IDA MAY LAKE and ISAAC TURLEY JR.  I was the third child, and the only daughter in my parents' family of four children. I was born seven years after my parents and many other col­onists were driven out of Mexico at the time of the Revolution. When I was nine months old, my parents returned to Mexico to reclaim their property.  Some of my earliest recollections are of the secure feeling I had  in the snug little valley of Colonia Juarez where I grew up. When the cold winds came sweeping down from the majestic Sierra Madre Mountains, our family was comfortable around the fireplace as we burned juniper and pinewood that my father hauled from the mountains, where he also hunted turkey and deer.  My mother played the treddle organ as we gathered around for family home evenings and sang the hymns, and ate crisp apples from our orchard, and popped corn and made molasses candy.
The warm colony atmosphere gave to all who lived there a feeling of security.  Everyone was poor but we didn't know it.  We had everything that money could not buy.  We raised nearly all that we ate; we provided our own entertainment.  It was a very special cultural environment.  Some of the best dramas and musicals that I have ever attended were performed on the stage of the Juarez Stake Academy.
At seven years of age, I began to take piano lessons. As the pieces I played outgrew the organ keyboard, my parents made arrangements for me to practice on a piano belonging to a lady who lived a mile up-valley.  Each day thereafter, until I was fourteen and we were able to bring a piano from El Paso, Texas, I walked that mile to practice.
When I was nine years old and wheeling my doll buggie through the streets, I became aware of a neighbor boy who invited me to go with him to afternoon deacons' parties.  I thought he was pretty clever, when even at that early age, he asked me if I would marry him when we grew up.  My interest in him continued as we went together, periodically, during the next few years.  On Friday, May 13, 1938, I was married in the Arizona Temple to that childhood sweetheart, David Virgil (D.V.) Haws, three months after he returned from his 2 1/2 year mission to the interior of Mexico.  As we entered the Temple gates, we paused and reaffirmed our goals in life:  he would go to school and I would have a dozen children; and quite blithely, I promised him that for every child we had, I would support him as he endeavored to get another degree.
As our goals began to materialize, our number of children soon exceeded D.V.'s college degrees.  He had none.  Our daughter, Glenda May, was born in Colonia Juarez; and our son, Virgil Turley, was born in Colonia Dublan.  The depres­sion was on and it was difficult to save money for school, with the job D V. had as teacher and principal in the elemen­tary schools--first in Garcia, a colony up in the mountains, and later, in Dublan, a colony down in the valley.  Fearing that as members of the family increased he would become less
455
able to go to school, D.V. decided to try to work his way through college since, after four years of teaching on only a high school diploma, we had not been able to save for school. He was twenty-six when he left us behind and registered at Arizona State Teachers College in Tempe.  He sent for us when he found a job on the College Dairy, including an apartment. The two children and I (and our third child which we expected in three months) rode on top of a truck loaded with sacks of bran.  The cab was filled with older people.  It was a mem­orable two-day trip, holding our two children close to me as we banged and swayed over the ruts and gullies and dodged the mesquite trees.
Not knowing how long we could survive in the United States because of World War II and the depression, and anxious to take advantage of my opportunity to study music at the college, I took lessons with Dr. Arnold Bullock, who invited me to appear in concert with him.  I took a short recess from my studies to have our second daughter, Mary Sharon.  Three weeks later, I resumed my study and intensive practicing.  Mary was three years old when our second son, Darryl Mark, was born in Colonia Juarez.  We were there on what became an "extended vacation from college." Two years later, we, a proud little family, sat on the bleachers on the college lawn in Tempe and watched our daddy, D.V., march in the long black line of graduates.  He had worked hard to pro­vide for us, and to graduate with highest honors.  One year later, he received his Masters degree at ASU, immediately after which we moved to Salt Lake City, where D.V. had a scholarship at the U. of Utah to study human genetics.  Four years later he received his Ph.D.  Shortly afterward, our fifth child, Andro Kirn, was born.
In the meantime, I was called to the Wells Stake Primary Board, and directed a Primary Childrens' Chorus in the Tab­ernacle for General Primary Conference.  While we were there our oldest son, Virgil, began to lose his vision.  This was the first cloud on the horizon of our existence, which eventually became an almost overwhelming test of sorrow and struggle.
Our number of children vs. college degrees now stood at 5-3, in my favor; therefore, I had no alternative but to fol­low D. V. to Mexico City where he had been accepted in medical school He was now 38.  During our six years there our two children Dawn Rochelle and Greg Sterling were born.  These were the happiest six years of our lives together, as we traveled with our family through much of Mexico on weekends, holding conventions and special meetings with the Sunday School and Primary officers and teachers of the mission.  D.V. was the superintendent of the Sunday Schools, and I was the president of the Primaries of the Mission, which then included the en­tire Republic.  During the time we lived in Mexico City, we published a song book for children in Spanish, which is being used in the Spanish-speaking missions of the Church.
As D.V. was completing his medical studies and doing his
456
internship we discovered that he had a brain tumor.  Back in the United States, he underwent surgery.  Following his re­covery, we moved to Baltimore, Maryland, where he combined his medical studies with his studies in Human Genetics, and did some significant work in that area.  One month after arriving there our eighth child, Meladee Annette, was born. While there, our son, Virgil's health began to fail. We re­turned to Arizona where D.V. opened his office for private practice in the Mesa area.  Just before Meladee's third birthday, it was found that she had cancer.  She was given every kind of treatment and medication possible, in an attempt to arrest the malignancy, but with no success.  She passed away at age four, in my arms, on Oct. 4, 1965.
About six months later, D.V. awoke early one morning and asked me to take him to the airport.  I asked him where he was going this time.  Though I knew something of his plans, I had not wanted to listen.  That July morning I tearfully watched until his plane was nothing more than a speck in the blue bowl of heaven, as he left us again; this time, to present himself that day at the beginning of a three-year residency in psychiatry at General State Hospital in Norman, Oklahoma. When I had arranged things at home, the children and I went to join him.  During our absence, my mother, who had always been such a strength to me, passed away in Mesa on December 18, 1968.
Virgil was now almost completely blind, and his physical condition had gradually deteriorated as well. He was suf­fering from a rare disease of which his blindness was only one symptom.  There was nothing that the medical world could offer us to arrest his condition.  After twenty-five years of blindness and other complications, he passed away in our home in Mesa on July 15, 1974 at the age of thirty-three. Just before Meladee's death, we found that Dawn Rochelle had the same illness that Virgil had, and three years later it became apparent that Greg Sterling also had the same symp­toms.  Time rolled inexorably along.  The pace of Dawn Roch­elle "s illness moved more rapidly than did Virgil's.  She died in my arms in the evening of Aug. 5, 1976 at the age of twenty-one in Fort Lyon, Colorado, where my husband was work­ing as a psychiatrist in the V.A. Hospital. At the time of her passing, he had been admitted to a Denver hospital for tests and eventual repeated brain surgery.  After Dawn's funeral services and burial in Mesa, Ariz. I returned with him to Denver for his surgery. At the time of this writing, there is no solution to the physical condition that has taken two of my children, and that threatens the life of Greg Sterling, though researchers are working on the problem.
In summary, in spite of our difficulties, life has been good to me in many ways.  I was born of goodly parents who taught me correct principles, both by precept and example. They sacrificed to give me and my brothers every advantage that was within their power to give.  I have had a happy marriage. My life-long sweetheart has been all, and more than, I expected him to be.  I am very proud to be the mother of
457
our eight wonderful children, although this number is some­what short of the twelve that I had anticipated. We have struggled together, having lived in various types of homes, including a new chicken coop. We have endured life together, which is very important to me.  I am very proud and thankful also to be the grandmother of our twelve precious grandchild­ren.  Each has brought a special blessing into our lives. The Lord has been with me.  I have a firm testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  That testimony has helped me through many difficult times throughout my life.  I am prepared to accept additional challenges and responsibilities.  I hope that the Golden Years will be as good as the green years that are now turning yellow.  "Success is best achieved when one chooses, or is face with difficult but not impossible goals." May we continue to find the strength to meet our challenges, until the day when all earthly struggles are behind us, and we can "Rest in the Lord."

Glenda May Haws Brady
In 1958 I attended ASU with a major in nur­sing, on a violin schol­arship.  On June 8, 1960 I married Robert Nyle Brady, who was raised in Ithaca, New York but born in Manassa, Colo. I met my husband in the mission field in Mexico City.  He received his education at BYU, Corn­ell University, and in 1967 received his Ph.D. in Bio-Chemistry.  His first job was in Nash-vill, Tenn. at Vanderbilt University.  From 1970-76 he served as Stake President in the Nashville, Tenn. Stake and has now been called to serve as a Regional Representative of The Twelve in the Florida Region.
I have served on the Stake Relief Society Board, Stake Young Women's Board, ward Relief Society president, and now as Seminary instructor.  I pay tribute to my great parents and their fine example to me as I grew up.  Their high ideals and standards they instilled well in me and I will be ever grateful. We have three children:  David Nyle Brady, age 15; Karie Lynne Brady, age 13; Richard Duel Brady, age 10.

Mary Sharon Haws James
Mary Sharon was the third child of Viola and David Virgil Haws and was born Febr. 20, 1943 in Tempe Arizona.  Through­out her childhood she lived with her family in various loca­tions while her father went to school thus receiving experience in dealing with new places, people, and situations that has greatly helped her throughout her life.
When Mary was six, her mother began teaching her the piano.  Shortly thereafter she started the violin and her junior year of high school she received voice training. Music became a very important part of Mary's life, and she enrolled at Peabody Conservatory of music in Baltimore her freshman year of college to pursue her musical talents.,
During Mary's sophomore year in college, she transferred to BYU and continued studying music but changed her major to education as teaching was always her life's ambition.  Three
459
and a half years later she graduated from BYU with a B.S. degree in Elementary Education.  During the latter part of her school­ing she was teaching in Salt Lake City on an intern­ship program from BYU and met her husband-to-be, Floyd James, who likewise was on the internship program and was teaching across the hall from her at East Millcreek School. With the help of their stu­dents, they united their lives and were married May 20, 1966 in the Mesa Temple.
After their marriage and graduation from college, Floyd and Mary remained living in Salt Lake City where Floyd taught school and received his Masters degree from the U. of Utah. Three years and two special sons later (Byron, Rodney), they moved to Prescott, Arizona in the mountains of northern Arizona.  Here they have happily remained
and added two more precious spirits to their family(Curtis,Sheri).

A great philosopher once said, "I am I and my circumstances."  For thir­ty years I have been try­ing to find out exactly who "I" is, but my circumstan­ces I can detail:
My parents, Viola Tur-ley and David Virgil Haws, are of the stalwart Mormon stock that colonized Mex­ico.  I was born in Colonia Juarez August 26, 1946. Ab incunabulis. the Haws childreh were imbued with deep religious faith, love of learning and music. During the seven years the


D. Marc Haws Family Front: Monica, Gabriel, Joshua. Back: Karen, David, Marc.

Haws family resided in Mexico City they were taught their school lessons at home by an eminently qualified tutor, Dr. D. Virgil Haws, and their music lessons (including piano, violin voice, cello, viola) by their mother.  Sundays were spent with the Mexican saints throughout the Mexican Mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  Many other childhood activities complimented this basic milieu: I became involved in scouting earning my Eagle and Duty to God awards; I always participated in athletic activities, etc.
When the family returned to the United States I was able to graduate from high school and enter college at age 16, After two years of study, I was called to serve a mission for the Church in Latin America, 1965-67.  My companions and I helped 36 persons respond to the witness of the Holy Ghost and make their baptismal covenants.  For almost a year of my mission I served as Assistant to the President of the Andes Mission.
Upon returning from my mission I promptly married Karen Irene Paisley of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho in the Arizona Temple. While I pursued an education, Karen bore our children.  I graduated from the University of Oklahoma the year David was born, 1969.  Monica was born as I completed my Masters degree two years later, and Joshua was born in 1974 as I received the Doctoral degree in languages from the Univ. of Oklahoma.  As Karen was determined to have another child, I had to find another academic field.  Gabriel was born after my first year of law school.  Even while deeply'involved in my studies we remained active in the Church.  While in Oklahoma I served as Stake Mission President, Seminary teach­er, member of a bishopric, and, at age 24, Stake High Councilor
In 1974 I realized that Karen had converted me to her part of the country:  north Idaho.  I left an Assistant Professorship at the Univ. of Oklahoma and we moved to our 80-acre ranch in the mountains.  After my first year of law school in Spokane, Washington, I took a leave of absence to build up my finances by working at my trade as a self-employed spec home builder,  I am presently serving in the
Church as bishop of the Lakeland ward.

Andro Kim Haws
Kim Haws was born in Salt Lake City, Utah on March 4, 1953.  At 3 weeks of age, the family moved to Mesa where they then resided until Kim was one.  Upon his father's ad­mission to Medical School in Mexico, they moved again, this time to Mexico City.  While there, the family learned to sacrifice and to rely upon one another for the fulfillment of most of their needs.
When Kim was 2 1/2 he became very ill with polio.  The paralysis became so acute that he was placed in an iron lung, After much fasting and prayer, he began to show signs of
461
improvement and was finally released from the hospital, but was required to wear many braces on various muscles of his body.  It was through the hard work of his mother as she massaged and worked with his limbs and through the faith of the family that he completely regained total unimpaired use of his body.
While growing up in Mexico, Kim acquired a great love for the Lamanite people and their beautiful customs.  At the age of 7, they left this "isle of family togetherness" and returned to Mesa where his father underwent surgery for a brain tumor.  After successful surgery and finishing his internship in Phoenix, the family made a series of moves as Kim's father furthered his education and medical career. These moves brought a variety of experiences and friendships which have greatly enriched Kim's life.  While living in Oklahoma he achieved the Eagle Scout rank at the age of 14.
One of their last moves brought them to Mesa, where Kim attended Westwood High School.  During this period he was actively involved in violin, basketball and many Church activities.  It was at Westwood that he met his future wife, Toni Lee Gibbons.  They dated for a year and a half before his mission.  He left in August of 1972 for the Argentina East Mission where he served honorably and faithfully in many positions until he was released in August of 1974.  He returned and on Dec. 31, 1974, Kim and Toni were married in the Los Angeles Temple.  He is now attending ASU majoring in psychol­ogy, where he will graduate in June of 1977.

for four years.  She was thorough in her work and an easy disciplinarian.  She had the love and respect of all the children and the good will of the patrons.  She was especially efficient in domestic art, needle work, and physical educa­tion.  She sang in quartets and was a counselor in the MIA in Midway.  She boarded with the families of Clark and Ruby Bronson, Bishop Henry and Emily Coleman, also Bishop Jacob Probst, and William and Eliza Bonner.
It was here in Midway that she met her husband, ALBERT VAN WAGONER.  He and his brother Dean were in the grocery business and also operated the picture show house where ANNA sold tickets for them.  They were married in the Manti Temple on Jan. 2, 1918, making the trip from Heber to Manti by train. It was a beautiful, warm day.  When their friends met the train on the 5th of January, they were waiting for them in a bob sleigh.
ALBERT had purchased a furnished home which they moved into upon their return.  She continued to teach school for two years because of a shortage of teachers, due to World War I.  Here their first child, Maxine, was born, as well as a pair of twins (a boy and a girl—7 1/2 and 8 Ib. babies) who were stillborn.  At this time ANNA was very ill. ALBERT later sold this house and built a lovely brick house—one of the nicest in the valley where their second pair of twins were born:  twin girls, Anita and Alberta who were nice, healthy babies.
In 1926 they sold this home and moved to Pleasant Grove where they built the Alhambra Theater and a furniture store and cafe.  They were both very active and held responsible positions in the Church organizations; and ANNA taught Sem­inary when it was first started.  They took their family to the dedication of the Mesa Temple in Arizona in Oct., 1929 when they made a trip to Mexico.  This was ANNA's second trip, since her marriage, to visit her mother and family. Her first trip home was in 1920, two years following her marriage. In June, 1930 a baby daughter, Shirley, was born to them.  In November of the following year they moved to Lehi where ALBERT operated a theater and also a grocery store in partnership with his brother, Dean. ANNA continued to teach Seminary in Pleasant Grove for half a day.  She was Social Science leader in Relief Society; taught the deacons in Sunday School; gave the lesson in the Daughters of the Pioneers; and was a counselor in the MIA.  She was highly respected and loved by all who knew her.
She caught cold which developed into pneumonia.  She had been ill for several months prior to this time.  She passed away on Saturday morning, March 23, 1935 and was buried in the cemetery at Midway, Utah on March 26, 1935.

There had been much illness in Nauvoo when the Saints had fled from Far West, Missouri in 1839.  Commerce (later named Nauvoo), Illinois was nothing more than a swamp that no one had wanted.  But the Prophet Joseph saw this place as the beginnings of a beautiful city.  Malaria, pneumonia, and chills and fever had touched almost every family.  The Saints would not give up.  They started draining the swamp areas and building homes.
Theodore Turley was the very first Mormon to build a home in this city.  He took great pride in his work and the home was lovely.  He and his wife, Frances Amelia, with their seven children moved into it before he was called to go with Heber C. Kimball and Wilford Woodruff on a mission to Eng­land.


With much of the illness past, 1840 promised to be a very exciting year for the Mormons in Nauvoo,  It was a Presidential Election year and the Illinois politicians wanted the Mormon vote.  Many concessions were made to pacify the Saints and Nauvoo began to blossom.  CHARLOTTE had been born at a time that was to be joyous for the citizens of Nauvoo.  Those first few years must have been happy and normal ones for this beautiful little girl with black eyes and lovely black hair,
Then as the tides changed and the Saints became more and more persecuted, anxiety and fear once more filled the hearts of the Mormons.  The Prophet Joseph was often sought by the mobs. Many times Theodore Turley hid the prophet in his wine cellar.  CHARLOTTE often told her children that when the Prophet was in the cel­lar he would hold her on his lap and tell her stories so she would be very quiet. This was a memory she always cherished.
As the Mormons were driven out of Nauvoo, they fled across the Mississippi River and win­tered in Winter Quarters, Nebr. More sadness and tragedy took place here for the Turleys when Charlotte's mother, Frances Amelia, and Theodore's fourth wife, Sarah Ellen Clift, died.  How grateful
CHARLOTTE must have been to have older sisters and brothers as well as her father's other wife to care for her as she was still a very young child.
When the Saints arrived in the Salt Lake Valley, President Young almost immediately instituted his great colonization pro­gram.  In the early 1850's the Turleys were sent to San Bern-ardino to help with the building of this western-most boundary of the State of Deseret.
JACOB BUSHMAN, a well-respected teamster, arrived in San Bernardino with a group of LDS families.  He fell in love with CHARLOTTE and they were married on March 4, 1857.  Later in this year they returned to Utah with the other Mormon settlers from San Bernardino because of the threat of Johnston's Army to the Utah colonies.  They wintered in southern Utah, "Dixie." It was here that their first child, PRISCILLA ELIZABETH, was born during a blustery January night near the Muddy River.  As soon as spring came the following year, they continued north and settled in Lehi where JACOB took up, his first farming land.  He and his brothers ran the Saratoga Springs farm for John C. Naile for some years.  During the following thirty

years they pros­pered and were blessed with nine more children.
In 1884 JACOB and CHARLOTTE and their family were called on a mis­sion to help col­onize St. Johns, Arizona.  He sold his property in Lehi and prepared for a permanent home in Arizona. They took their herd of 40 head of cattle and traveled by covered wagon.  The trip was not an easy one.  AMANDA had contracted a liver condition and was seriously ill in one of the wagons the whole trip.  Nights were not free from anxiety.  Their beds were in the wilds with rattlesnakes so close that sleep was difficult. Many other wagons met the BUSHMANS in Richfield and together they started on the long journey.  Food was baked over rocks.
One day as they reached Willow Springs, they stopped to fill the water kegs on the sides of their wagons.  Indians met them and continually pestered them for food throughout the rest of the trip.  They reached House Rock and ferried across the adjoining river.  They traveled through the Pet­rified Forest with their six span of horses.  The mud and mire was so deep that it reached the horses bellies.   After a hard six week trip they reached their destination where they were immediately sent to Concho, eight miles from St. Johns. They settled there for two years.  JACOB made a log house; and they were rather comfortable until the terrific rain­storms and floods came.  The floods were so treacherous that they were forced to return to St. Johns.  There they rented a farm and their children attended school with 500 Mexican children.
Even in St. Johns they couldn't seem to escape the flash floods.  Grain farming became almost an impossibility.  After years of struggle with the elements in St. Johns, President Woodruff sent a letter of release and urged them to return to Utah as soon as possible.  Six years of struggle had depleted Grandfather BUSHMAN's savings considerably.  He had just enough to return to Fairview, Utah where his daughter SARAH and her husband HENRY FOWLED lived.  He bought a small farm, with an old log house on it where the family was to live
On the first of November, 1899, CHARLOTTE died as a re­sult of pneumonia.  Her life had been” one '"of" "service and love of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  She had participated in the great drama of Nauvoo, crossing the plains, colonization, motherhood, and sustaining and supporting her husband as he performed his duties as a father and missionary.

One granddaughter recalls that Grandmother CHARLOTTE's picture hung in her parents' home.  She relates how her mother IDA used to pause and look at her mother's picture saying, "Mother was a very beautiful woman.  Her creamy white complexion, her black eyes and silky black hair made her one of the most beautiful women I ever knew!"  IDA also enjoys relating how beautiful her mother, CHARLOTTE, was and the utmost care she always exercised in her appearance, Also of her mother's neat black dress, with a pocket in the skirt where frequently pieces of candy were usually available for her children and grandchildren.  Mrs. Ora Anderson, a granddaughter, helped prepare this record, and mentioned her mother telling of the devotion to children, husband and the church, assuming any hardship that came with no complaint, as her mother, CHARLOTTE, accepted each day as it came and gave thanks to God for her lovely family.

Archie Lavon Bushman
I am the eighth child born to THEODORE MARTIN and ELIZABETH MORILLA LAMBSON BUSHMAN.  I lived in Lehi until I was 15, then moved to Ogden,  I went to Lehi Public Schools and attended just two years of high school.
I will relate one experience I had and will never forget. When I was 14 years old I went with some friends to take beet scales from the Utah Idaho Sugar Company to Foss Creek, about 100 miles from Lehi.  There were three of us, one boy my age and his uncle.  My friend and I took double barreled shotguns with us and rode in the back of the large flat bed of the truck.  The driver would stop once in a while and let us shoot jackrabbits.  Once after shooting a rabbit the driver said, "Let's go." We hurried to unload our guns; in my rush I only unloaded one bullet.  I thought I had taken both bullets out.  When I jumped on the running board of the truck, the truck hit a rock, my gun dropped on the running board, and just as I reached for it, it went off, blowing my thumb off and part of my hand.  I lost my right eye.  Eighteen shots are still embedded in my head.  They stopped the truck, tied a tourniquet around my arm.  I asked them to take me back to the doctor.  They said they had to deliver the scales.  I looked down the road both ways but could not see a car.  I told them to go on, I would bleed to death anyway, so they left.  I don't know what happened but I prayed and when I looked up there, was a small Ford truck.  Who the driver was I don't know, nor have  ever seen him since.  He took me back to Lehi about 70 miles.  The doctor dressed my wounds. I was in the hospital six weeks.
I have had more experiences.  Three years ago I was given just a few years to live.  I was administered to and promised I would live.  I am now under a doctor's care for heart trouble and sugar diabetes.  I am blessed by still being able to do temple work and home teaching.
I have held the following positions in the Church: presidency of the Seventies Quorum 11 years; in the super-intendency of the Sunday School and MIA;secretary of Senior Aaronic Priesthood 6 years; High Priest Group Leader for 7 years,  I am now a home teacher and doing temple work and research as I can.
Our four sons are all married and were sealed in the tem­ple. Two have gone on missions. One is now in the bishopric, one is a ward clerk, and the other two hold ward positions.

Sarah Erminnie Bushman Fowles
SARAH ERMINNIE BUSHMAN was born in Lehi, Utah on March 17, 1869.  Her parents, JACOB and CHARLOTTE TURLEY BUSHMAN were honorable, intelligent people, much respected in the community in which they lived.  SARAH was the fifth child of a family of ten.  She was a frail girl but was endowed with strong convictions and a will to walk in the path of duty wherever it might lead.
She spent her childhood on the farm at Saratoga.  There was a creek winding its way through the farm and she delighted to paddle in its waters.  Her mother was much opposed to this and warned her that if she did not stop playing in the water her mother would dunk her; so true to her promise the next time SARAH played in the water her mother pushed her in. There was no more water playing from then on.  Her favorite pleasure was to play house with her cousins, and many long summer afternoons were spent in this game trailing long dresses and clumping along in her mother's shoes.
One of her first chores was to drive the cows to and from the pasture and as soon as she was old enough she was set to helping her brother milk.  First they would let her "strip" but before long she could squirt the white streams into the bucket with both hands as fast as anyone and she found herself a full-fledged milkmaid.
Her father kept a little account book where he jotted down the price paid for the things bought and quite often would appear "Candy for Sarah."  She really was fond of candy but surely she did no eat it all as the family was large.  Her father never charged nor went in debt.  If he couldn't pay for an item, they went without it.  SARAH loved to do housework and at the age of 15 when her mother's last baby was born she took care of her mother and the baby too.  Her schooling was very limited as they lived so far away from a school.  She loved school and was very sorry when she had to quit.
When she was about thirteen years old she went into the
496
fields to glean wheat and in one year earned enough to buy herself a side-saddle.  Her father gave her a riding pony which she called Fanny.  She loved horses and could ride very well.
In 1884, President Taylor called her parents along with other families from Lehi to go and settle Northern Arizona. Her brother, THEODORE, and she rode horseback and drove the cows to St. Johns, Arizona.  They were six weeks on the way. Times grew harder and as things grew worse each year Pres, Taylor released the Saints to find more favorable places to live.  Her parents then settled in Fairview, Utah.
SARAH was married on April 19, 1888 in the Logan Temple to HENRY FOWLES.  They had three children, two boys and one girl:  Henry_Harmpn was born March 25, 1889; Jacob Timothy was born Aug. 21, 1891; and Ruby Rosamond was born April 30, 1894. When in 1898 her husband died, SARAH was left a widow with two children—her oldest son, Harmon, had passed away on Jan. 6, 1892 with diptheria, being just three years old.
After the death of her mother in 1899, SARAH's father spent his last 17 years at her home,  She worked in the Mutual from 1899 to 1904, two years with the North Sanpete Stake and three years in the Fairview Ward Mutual.  In 1908 she was called to be the first president of the Fairview Ward Re­lief Society, a position she held for eleven years.  She spent five years doing genealogy research and temple work.
In 1910 she lost her only daughter, Ruby, which was a great trial to her.  She had only a son, Tim, left and felt that life would be quite empty unless she had another daughter to take the place of her first one, so she adopted a little girl, Lillian Grace, to have as a companion. Lillian was two years old at the time.  It was at this girls home that SARAH FOWLES passed away.
Though her associates knew she was getting weaker, none realized that the end was so near. Monday she seemed un­usually well but during the night she grew worse and in the early hours of Thursday morning, July 17, 1947, she merely ceased to breathe.  There was no struggle, no spasm of pain; only the spirit forsaking its mortal tenement, and the body was at rest.  She had lived a long and useful life and has now gone to brighten another sphere.

Lillian Grace Fowles Price
Lillian was born in Salt Lake City, Utah on July 14, 1909. She was adopted by SARAH FOWLES when she was two years old and spent the rest of her childhood in Fairview, Utah. Lillian had an older sister who was at the same orphanage as she was.  She had been told to take care of her younger sister and she would not let SARAH take Lillian.  So SARAH gave her a dime and things were all right.
499
One of Lillian's favorite pleasures as a child was to go upstairs to the East room and play paper dolls.  She would have paper dolls strewn all over the room in their various houses. Many times she would be chastised for waking Maurice, Tim's oldest on, up from his nap by her walking around the room over where he slept.  She also loved to play dolls and would get into the trunk holding Lola's baby clothes.  This was a real battle, but no one thought to make Lillian some doll clothes One day she found some baby mice and decided to take them to the Co-op store to show the clerks how cute they were.  She could not understand why the clerks began screaming and getting up on the counters, so Lillian let the mice loose in the store. The story of that escapade reached home before she did.
Every birthday Lillian would have friends over and they would go swimming in the creek not far from home.  What fun! When Lillian was thirteen they moved to Salt Lake City and she continued to go to school there. While she was in school, her mother would go to the temple and do genealogy research. She graduated from LDS High School in 1927 and later that year began working at the telephone company as an operator, a position she held for nine years.
Lillian met Victor E. Price and they were married in the Salt Lake Temple on Oct. 3, 1935.  They had four children: Ruth Joan, born Dec. 16, 1936; Victor Robert, born May 20, 1946 (he died that same day); Steven, stillborn on March 12, 1948; and David Charles, born April 22, 1951.  He died June 12, 1951 at the age of seven weeks. When her last son died, Lillian began taking welfare babies and in the next ten years she tended over 150 babies whose mothers were giving them up for adoption.  At times she had five babies, all under two, in her home at the same time. At one time she had an Eskimo family of three girls whose mother was in the hospital, at another she had a mongoloid girl and a little Negro boy. Once she was asked to take a baby that was only a few hours old.  It had been born in the hall of the hospital and could not be placed in the nursery with the other babies.  She put in an application to get full custody to get two of the children but plans fell     through so she stopped ta-

Lillian Price with two of her many foster children,

king babies and began to work at the Holy Cross Hospital, a position she held for nearly five years.
All this time she kept up her hobby of oil and water color painting and also china painting and other ceramics.

She filled her home and that of her close friends and relat­ives with her handiwork.  She opened her own ceramic shop and gave lessons for two years.  She was called by the bishop to start the ward library at the Grant Fifth Ward and did so, taking her always one and sometimes three, four, or five babies over to the library with her.  She also worked in the Mutual and Relief Society and was editor of the ward newspaper.
While working at the Holy Cross Hospital it was discov­ered that Lillian had cancer and she had a masectomy. Four years later it was discovered that the cancer had moved to her liver.  During the summer of 1970 she was quite ill and the doctor began a new medicine.  For a time the medicine worked and her family was in hopes that she would get well, but she reacted adversely to it and the doctor had to take her off it completely.  Things went from bad to worse until in December she was unable to get out of bed at all.  She passed away Dec. 30, 1970.  She had lived a good life, ful­filling the measure of her creation and has gone to be with her sons.

Ruth Joan Price
Ruth, daughter of Victor E. and Lillian Fowles Price, was born Dec. 16, 1936 in Salt Lake City, Utah.  She
graduated from Granite High School in 1954 and from the U. of Utah in 1958. Later that same year Ruth began teach­ing third grade at Forrest School. For the next five years she taught second grade at Nibley Park School, and then on to Rose Park and Uintah Schools to teach fifth grade.  Having had enough of Salt Lake City School District, she transferred to Granite District and began teaching at the Hillsdale School in Granger.  There she has taught third, third-fourth combination, fifth, and first grades.  She enjoys teaching very much and especially enjoys the first grade youngsters. They are so full of life and questions and besides they think their teacher is great, which is a great ego booster!
Ruth has traveled to nearly every state in the U.S., leaving only Minnesota, North Dakota, North and South Carolina, and Hawaii to go.  She has traveled to Mexico, the Caribbean, and through every province in Canada except one.  She spent a month in Alaska and gives a slide-lecture tour of her trip. Besides traveling she has taken dance lessons from Arthur Murray Dance Studios and has won two gold medal trophies for dancing: one for the Sambo and one for the Tango.
She is active in the Church and is presently Cultural
501
Refinement teacher in the Sunday morning Relief Society of Grant Fifth Ward.  She has worked in Mutual as chorister and organist; in both Junior and Senior Sunday School as a teach­er; has been assistant editor of the ward paper; and has been Era Director.
Two years ago she became acquainted with some Amish peo­ple in Ohio and last year spent some time teaching in an Amish school, where they have thirty-six children in grades one through eight.  It was quite a challenge!
Ruth enjoys knitting, crocheting, and other forms of handwork and also making ceramics.

Roy served a mission to Germany in 1922.  He graduated as a civil engineer from the U. of Utah. After graduation, because of the depression, he worked for the Salt Lake City Engineer Dept. for $90 a month.  He soon landed a better job with the Utah State Road Commission.  The first day was on the Great Salt Lake desert with 129 degree temperature in the shade.  In 1935 he took a civil service offer with the U.S. Engineers at Sacramento.  In 1939 he transferred back to Salt Lake, this time as hydrologic engineer with the U.S. Weather Bureau.  The war upset this program in 1942 and he was offered the chance to fill a vacancy at Hartford, Con­necticut as "weatherman." He was one of the first weathermen broadcasting on the radio.  In addition to work, he and his family were very involved and happy with the church in New England.
After the war Roy was called to Cincinnati, Ohio to take charge of the new river forecasting unit; of the weather bureau for the Ohio Valley.  He remained in Cincinnati until he died on Sept. 27, 1965 of a heart attack.  A comment he made in a letter concerning his life:  "We haven't accumulated any wealth during our rolling around the country but we have had some wonderful experiences and satisfactions.  It has helped the children more than it has hindered them.  It has helped them most to appreciate the gospel and the church and has given them confidence.  Parents seem to derive most of their blessings in later life from the successes and development of their children along the lines that they wanted them to go."
He tried to serve the Lord with all his heart, mind and strength.  In addition to his call as a missionary in the Swiss German Mission, he initiated the Scout Explorer program while in Salt Lake City.  In Sacramento he was MIA super­intendent, on the High Council; in Salt Lake City he was a member of the stake Sunday School Board; in Hartford he served as branch president and district president.  In Cincinnati he was district president, a member of the district council, stake Sunday School superintendent, branch president, bishop, stake missionary, and a counselor in the stake mission pres­idency.  In addition to this he had numerous teaching assign­ments and was a patriarch when he passed away.

Ida Roxana Bushman Anderson
Nestled close to the banks of Utah Lake is the picturesque lit­tle town of Lehi, Utah where IDA ROXANNA BUSH­MAN was born September 14, 1879.  She was the daughter of JACOB and CHARLOTTE TURLEY BUSH­MAN.Her father owned a farm and was able to make a good living for his family.
Ida Roxanna Bushman Anderson

Archibald Robert Anderson
When IDA was five years of age, her father and mother were called to go to Arizona to help colonize the St. Johns area.  The six-week trip must have been a real adventure. There was illness, constant harassment by Indians and rat­tlesnakes which made for sleepness nights.  They settled in Concho, Arizona for two years.  IDA went to school with 500 Mexican children.  Year after year, their crops were ruined by flash floods, wind, insects, etc.  After they had fought the elements for six years, President Woodruff sent a letter of release and encouraged them to return to Utah.  Their mission to Arizona had depleted Grandfather BUSHMAN's savings considerably.  They had just enough money to return to Fair-view, Sanpete County, Utah, where IDA's sister SARAH FOWLES lived.  Grandfather BUSHMAN bought a farm with a log house on it where they were live.  IDA helped her father to clear the land with a grubbing hoe and burn it so it could be plowed, She was just eleven years old but she put in long hours to help her parents make the new farm a success.  IDA loved horses and could ride one "as fast as it could run."  Each day she would ride 2 1/2 miles into Fairview to school where she completed the sixth grade.
509
ARCHIBALD ROBERT AN-DERSON (A.R.), a young man who had returned from Scotland on a mission, met and fell in love with IDA.  They were married Jan. 5, 1902 in the Manti Temple where he had been serving as an ordinance worker.  A.R. was a suc­cessful wool grower and bank executive.  He held many Church positions.
IDA's parents taught her the value of hard work.and she became a real asset to her hus­band's sheep business. Preparing food and mak­ing quilts for the sheep camps became a special talent.  A.R. had built a lovely home in Fairview for IDA and their children.  It was be­cause of this lovely home and the hospitality of IDA and A.R. that the

A.R. and Ida Anderson and Family
A.R. Anderson and Family

General Authorities of the Church stayed at the Anderson home during conferences in Fairview. This was a tremendous experience for the whole family to live and get acquainted with these wonderful brethren.
The Andersons had five children, three of whom lived to adulthood: Archibald Jacob (who served many years as stake president of the North Sanpete Stake), Ora Nivian (Mrs. Paul S. Dixon) , Vora Vivian, Hel­ena Charlotte (Mrs. Reed W,Brinton) , and Anna   ' Genieve.  Vora died" at  age 10 with rheumatic fe­ver and Genieve died short­ly after birth.  IDA and A.R. enjoyed seven grand­children and there are now ten-great-grandchildren.

IDA was an excellent cook and dressmaker.  Both of her daughters are well-known for their talents in cooking.  They claim they gained much experience at home "for Mother had great patience and allowed us to take over the kitchen when­ever we wanted to experiment and develop culinary skills."
IDA's husband died in 1948.  For the next 22 years until her death in 1970, she busied herself with her fam­ily, her home, and garden.  She loved to read and keep current with the nat­ional and local happenings through newspapers and periodicals.  She par­ticularly loved to read poetry.  She died at age 90 in Salt Lake City and was buried in Fairview.
Going to visit Grandmother and Granddaddy ANDERSON was a choice treat for her grandchildren.  She was always so patient to have us bring our pets, run through her home, investigate the barn and corral, play in the ditch, listen to our noise and confusion; and then for us to remember the sweet scene
of her waving "goodbye" from her front porch, saying, "Please come again soon! " She was everything a grandmother could be and sharing her last years with her was a privilege for us all.

Virginia Lane Anderson Mower
I was born February 26, 1937 to Archibald Jacob and Eda Nash Parkinson Anderson in Fairview, Utah.  I enjoyed the privileges of a good home and church training.  At the completion of my high school I entered BYU and graduated with a degree in Secondary Education--English and speech being my chosen fields of study.  On Dec. 27, 1957 I married Glade Weston Mower in the Manti Temple.  He was born June 28, 1935 in Fairview to Heber Lavern and Ethel Louisa Stewart Mower. He completed a mission to the Lamanite people serving in the Southwest Indian Mission almost exclusively with the Navajo-speaking people. He graduated from the Y in Business Education and presently is a business teacher at North San-pete High School.  He also holds an elementary teaching cer­tificate. We have a farm and a herd of beef cows.
I have been privileged to work as a teacher in the Pri­mary and Relief Society.  I am ward organist and have worked in the music of Sunday School and MIA.  I have served on Sunday School, Relief Society and Primary stake boards.  I am now first counselor in the stake Primary.

Scott Jay, born Jan. 2, 1960 at Mt. Pleasant, Utah. Clark Weston, born April 25, 1967 at Salt Lake City. Kristen, born Sept. 8, 1970 at Salt Lake City, Utah.
An experience of Glade W. Mower as he served with the Navajo people in northern Arizona is included:
One particularly interesting experience in this very humbling and faith-promoting mission occurred on the day that I called to visit with a very old tribal leader and his family in an area which I had just opened up to missionaries. As I conversed with them in their own tongue and explained who I was and my purpose for being there the old gentleman jumped up and ran to a stack of suitcases.  He opened one and re­moved a cloth-wrapped package very reverently.  When the pack­age was unwrapped there was a Book of Mormon and a picture of some of our General Authorities. President Spencer W. Kimball, Matthew Cowley and others were on this picture with this old Navajo man and other men of his tribe.  This old gentleman had traveled to Salt Lake City in company with other tribal leaders at the time the church was seeking to establish a
513
mission in the reservation.  Pres. Kimball had given him the book and the promise that the word of the Lord would come to him.  Although this man could not read and he had had no further contact with the church, he valued and guarded this history of his ancestors and waited for the day when the church would come to him.  That day the church had come in fulfill­ment of Pres. Kimball's promise.  I later took this old gen­tleman and his family into the waters of baptism and I was privileged to enjoy many choice conversations with this wise man.

Ora Nivian Anderson Dixon
Ora was born in the lovely little community of Fairview, Utah on July 5, 1906.  She and her twin sister Vora Vivian were the second and third child of ARCHIBALD ROBERT and IDA ROXANNA BUSHMAN ANDERSON, well-respected citizens and leaders of the community.  Her father was a wool grower and banker.
The girls attended school in Fairview until Vora was stricken with rheumatic fever and died at age 10.  The twins had been very close, and the loss of her sister was deeply felt by Ora..  When it came time
to go to high school, Ora went to Salt Lake City to live with an aunt because the transportation to the nearest school was very poor.  In 1925 she graduated from L.D.S. High School,

Ora had looked forward to joining her brother A.J. at the BYU. She became very active in school affairs and thoroughly enjoyed college life.  While at the University, she met Paul Smoot Dixon, a young man who had recently re­turned from the Eastern States Mission and who had a real zest for life.  They fell in love and were married June 6, 1929 in the Salt Lake Temple following both of their grad­uations.  With other members of their graduating class, they went east so Paul could do graduate work at New York Univ. Ora's major field of study had been Foods and Nutrition so it was natural for her to pursue the field as a dietitian for a chain of New York restaurants.  When her first child, Paul Jr., was born, Ora. retired to make her home her career. Another child, Vivian, was born during the eighteen very happy years they lived In the East.
In 1945 a fine offer to become comptroller of KSL Radio in Salt Lake City came to Paul and because they had always thought they would return to Utah, they were on their way in a matter of a few days.  They left reluctantly for their years in New York had been such happy ones with so many wonderful
friends. Shortly after arriving in Utah, Ora gave birth to Margaret Electa, Ten years after moving to Salt Lake, Paul died of cancer, climaxing a wonderfully full yet short life (49 years). He was loved by so many friends, family and business associates. He was a happy vivacious man that the family, especially his sweet wife, would miss greatly.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ has always meant a great deal to Paul and Ora; and they have always been actively involved in its service.  Ora has worked mainly as a teacher and leader in Relief Society and Primary on ward and stake basis both.  She has always been interested in genealogical research and has done overwhelming amounts of work in this area.  She is a wonderful homemaker, cook, and a gracious hostess.  It is a pleasure to be a guest in the Dixon home,
Nineteen years have passed since her husband's death and Ora has been a real example to her family of a lovely mother and grandmother.  She has been so generous with her time and talents in helping her children, serving in the Church, pur­suing her genealogical interests and being a good friend. She has five grandchildren who love her very much!
Children of Ora Anderson and Paul Smoot Dixon:

Paul Smoot Dixon Jr.
Paul is a sensitive, hard working Church worker who has a strong testim­ony of the Gospel.  Service to others has long been one of Paul's finest qua­lities. He has expressed this talent as a missionary in southern California where he served as secretary; as Elders Quorum president in Bonneville Stake for nine years; as a guide on Temple Square; as a ward clerk; as a Priest­hood teacher; and as Stake Special Interest Leader in the Salt Lake Grant Stake.

Margaret Electa Dixon
"Happiness is being in Miss Dix­on' s class!" This was a comment made in an assembly of the school when the principal asked the children to ex­press their feelings of happiness. Such a compliment and tribute is rare for teachers, but one that children seem to echo each school year in the schools where Margaret Dixon teaches.
Margaret was born July 19, 1945 in Salt Lake City, Utah.  She grad­uated from East High School and the Univ. of Utah.  She has done further graduate work at San Jose State Univ. and at UCLA.  She was graduated with a Masters degree from BYU with a Read­ing Specialty and in Learning Disabil­ities.
Creative teaching has been one of Margaret's outstanding qualities and visiting her classroom is an exciting experi­ence.  Dramatics and speech have been other areas where she has excelled.  Her warm, bubbly personality endears her to all who know her.  She is very close to her nieces and neph­ews who simply adore her.  Friendship and service are perhaps her greatest talents.  She has always been sensitive to the needs of others and spends most of her free time doing things to make others happy.  Margaret loves to work in the Church and is often involved in road show productions and other youth
activities.

Ella Isadora bushman Barker
ELLA ISADORA BUSHMAN was born Febr. 3, 1884 in Lehi, Utah to JACOB ISAAC and CHARLOTTE TURLEY BUSHMAN.  She was their tenth and last child.  Her father told her she was the tithing child and would have to be given to the bishop, and this really worried her.  She married RUFUS ORRIN BARKER on Oct. 23, 1901.  To this union was born seven children.
When three months old, ELLA moved with her mother and father, brother and sisters to Arizona where they had been called to help settle St. Johns.  After six years they re­turned to Utah where they settled in Fairview, where ELLA's sister, SARAH ERMINNIE's husband helped him to get started in farming.  When ELLA was eight years old her parents, brother JACOB, and sister IDA moved to a farm which is now known as the Barker farm and has been in the family for 81 years.  From this farm ELLA walked 2 1/2 miles to school, which she loved very much--being a very bright, active, and fun-loving child and graduating from her class as valedictorian in the spring.  ELLA was blond and blue-eyed.  Her mother, CHARLOTTE, was black-haired and black-eyed.  Her school friends told her that CHARLOTTE wasn't her real mother. Grandma CHARLOTTE assured her little girl that she was truly her mother.
The following November after ELLA graduated her mother died after a short illness.  It was her first great sorrow. That winter ELLA went to Salt Lake City to be with her sister, GRACE HONOR LUNDQUIST and her husband EMMANUAL, who ran a gro­cery store in front of their home.  ELLA helped in the store and was able to assist her sister who had a new baby.
ELLA missed her mother and father very much.  When she returned home the following spring she found out that her very best friend, Maggie Anderson,, had died.  ELLA went to live with her sister SARAH, whose husband had died a year earlier, and her two children, Jim and Ruby.
Mother started teaching in Sunday School when she was 14 years old, and has been active in Church all her life;
521
being YWMIA president for 5 years, Bleaner teacher many years, Relief Society class leader, and Sunday School teacher.
When ELLA was not quite 18 she married RUFUS ORRIN BARKER.  Their first baby, Basil Orrin, was born 14 months later.  When he was six weeks old ELLA contracted Lobar pneumonia and was ill many weeks, some of the time in a semi-conscious condition.  Someone was constantly by her bedside. The night the fever broke, ELLA went through a crisis.  Dr. Ray sat by her side all night.  He was not a Mormon and when the Elders administered to ELLA he would step out of the room.  He was a wonderful man, though.  The morning after the crisis ELLA was alone in the room for a few minutes.  Her fever was gone and she was very cold.  She tried to get the covers up on her shoulders but was too weak.  Suddenly the covers were tucked around her and she saw her mother, CHARLOTTE standing there.  ELLA was very impressed by her mother to have faith and have the Elders often.  Then CHARLOTTE just faded away.  When the nurse came in she asked ELLA who had covered her, but ELLA asked her to send her husband ORRIN and father JACOB in.  She told them what had happened.  From then on they had the Elders every night while she was in bed for two months.
One time when ELLA was 37 years old we nearly lost her but she was permitted to stay and raise her family.  She died Sept. 4, 1956 at the age of 72.  Her children remember her as a wonderful mother with a great sense of humor.  That and her great faith carried her through many trying times.  She was a widow for 15 years, having lost both her husband and a little boy, Welles, when he was 11 1/2 years old.

Mother ELLA's patriarchal blessing said she would be a "peace-maker" which she surely was.  Even when her health was very poor the last six years of her life many people would drop into her home to visit with her and confide their prob­lems to her.  She never violated a confidence and was usually able to lift the spirits of those who called.  My mother had . a proud, dignified bearing with a sparkling personality.  I have never seen her without her hair combed and a neat clean dress.  She was a kind, sweet mother and a loving wife.  Our parents truly  set an example for us.
Mother had many hobbies and talents:  knitting her own children's stockings, mittens, caps, and crocheting dozens of sweaters, booties, and caps for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, besides many beautiful crocheted doilies and other handiwork.  I must finish this by saying mother was afraid of only one thing--a mouse.
In her later years mother wrote her autobiography and had it printed in a lovely little book, to give to her six living children.  From this, I gathered the material for her history. .

Ella Gladys Barker Anderson
I was born Feb. 3, 1905 in Fairview, Utah. I married Hugh Cheney Anderson on Sept. 2, 1925 in the Manti Temple. To this union was born five children.
523
I spent most of my childhood on the Barker farm north of Fairview where my mother, ELLA,lived as a child—part of the time moving to Fairview in the winter time.  Those were happy times. My mother would read to us and my father would sing.  Every night was "family night."
I started teaching Sunday School when I was 17 years old, and have taught in the organization most of my life. I graduated from high school, intending to go to college, but my mother had a very serious heart attack.  The second time we almost lost her, so for the next three and one-half years I cared for my six brothers and my father and mother. I felt this was more of a blessing than a burden because besides being very fond of my brothers I felt I was better prepared for marriage than the average girl.
When Hugh Anderson and I were married we moved to Provo, Utah where he finished his schooling at BYU.  Our children were all gifted musically, so we spent many wonderful times around the piano singing.  My husband taught school and we have a small farm which is large enough to keep our four boys busy.  Three of them have served in the armed forces, and one has served on a mission.  All of our children are and have been active in the Church.
My greatest joy besides our family was working in the Manti Temple with my husband as ordinance workers for four years until my husband passed away Nov. 26, 1971.  I am still working there.  My hobbies are flowers and art-work painting. We have 21 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren.

One of the highlights for our family was our trip to Boston to bring our son home after his mission to the New England States.  We were able to visit most of the Church historical sites including the birthplace of Joseph Smith in Vermont where our son spent the last few months of his mis­sion.  We also had the privilege of visiting with his mission president, Elder Paul H. Dunn, who later married our son and his wife.

Terry Gene Anderson
I spent all of my youth in the same house that I was born in.  I attended grade school and junior high in Fairview, then went to Mt. Pleasant where I finished high school at North Sanpete High School. My summers were largely spent helping my father, Hugh Cheney Anderson, on our little farm.  I appreciate this atmosphere In which I was raised. After I graduated from high school I attended Brigham Young University for two years and then served a mission to the Great Lakes. This was enjoyable to me and has certainly been a highlight of my life.  I returned to BYU after my mission and received
528
a B.S. degree from there. While in my senior year, 1962, I became very sick with ulcerative co­litis and spent most of the year either in the hospital or recu­perating from the illness and sur­geries. About a year before I was sick I met Judith Ralph at BYU.  We were planning on getting married but postponed it when I got so sick. It was nearly a year after we had first set the date that we were finally married.


I am really thankful for my wife because she stayed by me through a very trying time of my life. We were married June 12, 1963 in the Logan Temple and now have five children:
Annette, born Dec. 4, 1964.     Terry Bruce, born July 7, 1966. Heather Marie, born May 26, 1968. Barbara Jean, born Jan. 31, 1970. David Hugh, born Dec. 17, 1972.
We are expecting a new baby in Jan. of 1975.  We live in Richfield, Utah where I am a medical technologist at the
Sevier Valley Hospital.

Jacob Lee Barker
Jacob Lee was born Jan. 4, 1907 at Fairview, Utah, the third child born to RUFUS ORRIN and ELLA ISADORA BUSHMAN BARKER. He was baptized and confirmed March 8, 1915 and spent his early years at Fairview, going to school and growing up on the farm.  Here he learned to work, doing the many chores necessary to farm life.  As a young boy he had a natural ability around machinery, whether repairing or running it. He left school in his early teens and got his first job in the town's garage.  From then on he was always able to find employment, even through the depression years when jobs were scarce.  He married Mardene Jeffs on Oct. 30, 1929 at Coalville, Utah.  To them were born three sons.  On May 25, 1938, Lee and Mardene went to the Salt Lake Temple for their endow­ments and to be sealed.  The world was at war the second time and Lee received his greetings from Uncle Sam just six
529
weeks before Judy Lee was born.  Boot camp was at Farragut, Idaho.  He finished his training at San Diego and Coronado, California, learning to be a signal man in the Navy.  He served eighteen months overseas in the South Pacific on the U.S.S. Onieda, a troop supply ship, doing his part to help win the war.  He was involved in many of the major campaigns of the Pacific theater.  He went in on the first assaults, as a signal man, on the Truck Islands, Siapan, Okinawa, and other major islands.  It was on Okinawa he was wounded and received the Purple Heart. He was released with an honorable .discharge Nov. 22, 1945 as a seaman 1st class.
Returning home after the war, he decided to work for himself.  His brother, Don, already had a jewelry store at Heber, Utah and planned to start one at Vernal, Utah.  To­gether they went in the watch repair business.  He also had a watch repair business for a time in Orem, Utah.  Carol Ann was born in 1947.  Business being slow the next few years, he returned to construction work once again.  He was a crane operator on many of the large buildings and bridges in Utah, and Nevada, setting the steel on many of the freeway overpas­ses.  He also worked on the building of Provo Airport, the Joseph Smith Fieldhouse at BYU in Provo, and he helped put in the pipelines in Provo Canyon and on the setting up of Geneva Steel.
Lee's hobbies were hunting and fishing. He said he felt extremely close to God in the mountains.  He had been retired just a few years before his death on Nov. 29, 1970.  He was buried at Fairview, Utah.  Lloyd and Tommy were sealed to him June 9, 1973.

The next two years were at North Sanpete High School at Mt. Pleas­ant, Utah, graduating from there in 1931. At this time I went with my brothers Bazil. and Reed to Boulder City, Nev. to work on Boulder (now""Hoover) Dam as a welder.  At this time a branch of the Church was thriving at Boulder City. Later it became a ward. While there I was given a position of drama director in the MIA.  I directed and produced plays in Boulder City and Las Vegas.  Proceeds from these plays financed the first missionary from Boulder City Ward.
In 1935 I left Boulder City and returned to Fairview where I prepared to attend school at Utah State Univ. at Logan, Utah, enrolling in the fall of 1935. After one full year I returned to Fairview because of my father's ill health. In the spring of 1937 I enrolled in the Mills Watch-making School at Salt Lake City, Utah.

After the outbreak of World War II, I moved to Salt Lake City, closing my store and joining Remington Arms as Tool and Die-maker.  Remaining thus employed until 1944 when I returned to Heber City and re-opened my jewelry store, special­izing in custom jewelry manufacturing and diamond setting and as a watchmaker. At the time I originally opened my store in Heber City, I was the youngest man to own and operate his own store in Heber City and now after 38 years in the same location I am the oldest. At one time my brother Lee and I owned and operated a jewelry store, in Vernal, Utah.
I married Tennie Marie Watkins Sept. 23, 1947.  This marriage was solemnized in the Salt" Lake Temple Nov. 15, 1968. Four children were born and they were all sealed to their parents in the Salt Lake Temple that same day.

Linda Rae Barker
It was a cold April morning and the snow was falling when I was born in the Holy Cross Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah on April 9, 1945, to Arthur Eugene and Marian Barker.  It was a time of ration stamps and war.  I was one of the lucky ones who had my father home.  I am the oldest of six girls and according to my father, I was supposed to be a boy, because he had come from a family of six boys and one girl.  They named me Linda Rae after my grandfather, William Raymond Anderson.
My first two years were spent in Salt Lake.  It was then decided that we would move to American Fork where my father opened a jewelry store.  Many happy hours were spent in that store.  It was a very sad day when we sold it; especially for me.  The rest of my sisters were all born in American Fork. As all children, I had most of those ordinary childhood diseases that one used to pick up.  I attended the Harrington Elementary for most of grade school and the sixth grade was at Greenwood Elementary.  I attended American Fork High School where drama was one of my great loves and where I participated in several state winning competitions in the plays area.  After graduation I was granted a scholarship to BYU where I completed three years before being called on a mission.
My mission was filled in the North Central part of Mexico and I was gone 27 glorious months which I will always cherish.
539
Since returning home I have made several return trips back. One special one was with my family.  Upon my return I com­pleted my studies and graduated in Elementary Education and Family Relations.  I taught for three months before gradua­tion.  I now teach in American Fork, at the Shelley Elemen­tary School, in the second grade.
Two of my choicest experiences in my life have been to work on Temple Square in the summer and to attend the Area Conference in Mexico, in the National Auditorium.  I went alone, but came back with many friends.  I haven't done any­thing world famous, but my little experiences, with my family, I wouldn't trade for anything.

Turley Jean Barker Mortensen
I was born Aug. 26, 1947 in the old American Fork Hos­pital.  My childhood was fairly uneventful except for the typical childhood diseases which I survived and a variety of animals we had as pets while growing up.  I graduated from American Fork High School in 1965 and spent the following summer working at Grayline Tours Copper Shop on South Temple in Salt Lake City.
At eight years of age I was baptized a member of the LDS Church and have remained an active member ever since.  During my junior year in high school, I was a member of the first group of youth missionaries in American Fork.  During the 1965-66 years I attended Ricks College in Rexburg, Idaho. The next year I found myself at BYU and graduated from there in 1968 as a registered nurse.  Following graduation from BYU, I worked in the San Juan County Hospital in Monticello, Utah.  This was a 39-bed facility at the time and consequently we learned to work all areas of the hospital.  During the years from 1969-1974 I worked five years in the American Fork Hos­pital in the medical and surgical areas.  I have also gained some experience in doctors' offices.  I traveled to Switzerland and Mexico during these years also.
In April of 1974 I married Fremont (Monty) G. Mortensen in the Salt Lake Temple.  He was born in Soap Lake, Wash, and raised in Quincy, Wash.  He is one of eleven children born to Donald K. and Lois Gunderson Mortensen.  On June 19, 1975 we had a very special son born to us.  We named him Cavron Lloyd Mortensen.  We are presently living in Provo while Monty at­tends school.

I was born Aug. 12, 1948 into the Eugene Barker family. All of my growing up years were spent in American Fork, Utah. I attended both Harrington and Greenwood Elementary.  As I entered junior and senior high school I became interested in band and played the flute.  I participated in summer band and was privileged in my high school years to go on a trip to Calgary, Canada with the American Fork High School Band.  In
540
my junior and senior year I marched in the color guard instead of the band itself.  During high school I was also active in the Pep Club and Boosterettes.  I was a member of the National Honor Society and had the opportunity to attend Girls State.
After graduating from high school I attended BYU on a scholarship and lived there at the university for the first year of my schooling.  I attended BYU for three years in the field of elementary education.  While attending BYU I met my husband-to-be, Norman Crosby.  He was a recently returned missionary from Panguitch, Utah.  We were engaged in March and married on Aug. 9, 1968.  We lived in Provo, Utah that first year and both attended school.  Later I worked while Norman went to school.
On June 27, 1970 our first child, Eliece, was born to
us.  We now have three children:  Eliece, 5 years; Mark,
4 years; and our new daughter, Teri, 2 months.  We live in
Pleasant Grove, Utah.  We are both active in the LDS Church
and keep busy with our church work.  Norman is presently

Both my junior and senior year I had the lead in the school play, and both years I participated in region and state drama contests.  My senior year I also served in the local and state presidencies of the FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) and later at­tended the national FBLA convention in Houston, Texas.
