 This   house is the ancestral home of my father's family. Presumably they have lived   there many generations, and perhaps the family name of Bachman   was taken from the residence itself, the name meaning: "The man   of the creek, or creek man." The   ground floor has a cow bar, pig sty, small store rooms, kitchen   and living room.   About two years after their marriage, Mormon missionaries came to   the neighborhood and found good friends in Wiliberg. Persecution caused the spirit of emigration to   come to Utah first, and if he found conditions satisfactory his   brother would follow him. This delayed father for sometime, but he was   determined to go to Zion, and after some months my uncle was able   to give him the remaining thousand dollars. The family   consisting of the parents and five children, Maria, born February   21, 1954, Verena, born February 23rd 1857, Jacob born October   27th, 1858, Elizabeth, born March 14th, 1860, and Emuel, born   August 17th, 1862, set out for Utah.   The trip across the ocean in a sail boat took six weeks, and the   family was crowded into the poorest part of the boat. The trip across the plains in a   covered wagon drawn by ox teams was a hard one, especially for   the mother, who gave birth to her sixth child, Sarah, while   crossing the plains. Later they moved to Eden and my father's wife gave   birth to three more children, Rosella born February 26, 1864,   Bertha, born April 19th, 1865 and Alma, born in November 1866. This left my   father with a family of eight small children, the oldest girl   Maria only twelve Years old. It was   baby and five other small children, so my father got kind   neighbors to take the baby and the two smallest girls. My mother, Anna Sidler was born in Ottenbach,   Zurich Canton, Switzerland on September 29th, 1847. Her mother told her the father's name   was Hegetschweiler, but the genealogist found no record of their   marriage in Ottenback, so it is presumed she was an illegitimate   child. When mother was twelve years old she came to America with   her mother, both of them having joined the Church of Jesus Christ   of Latter-Day-Saints in Ottenback. It took about six weeks to   cross the ocean in 1860 when they came to America.   their homes and moved south, but in June, 1858, peace was   restored and the people moved back to their homes. An answer was   measures would be taken to arrest parties named in the writ. My mother who was then fourteen years old picked up the   bones of her mother and half sister. Mother joined the posse and   was taken by Sheriff Burton to Bishop Chauncey West's home.   Left alone, without relatives or friends, Mother worked at Bishop   married Samuel Stone in the Endowment house in Salt Lake City.   Her life with Mr. Stone was not happy as he drank and was not   kind to her, so she left him and with her baby in her arms,   walked to Marriot, where Theresa Marriott gave her a home. Later   she lived in the Lawson home. Friends knowing father and   mother were both Swiss introduced them to each other, and as   needed a home for her son, now a year and a half old, they were   married in the Endowment House on April 27th, 1967. Their union   was not an ideal one, as father was seventeen years older than   mother and they were entirely different in their ideas. Mother   enjoyed social affairs and father was somewhat of a hermit. They   raised hogs and mother ate the fat pork. Father managed to get a stove before Eccles's   did and they came over and baked their bread on it.   When my brother Joseph was born, February 8th, 1868, mother had   came in when they could spare time from their own large families. Pulling a hand cart a thousand miles across the   plains, bare footed and almost starved at the age of nine, no   schooling, only work and poverty, scarcely enough to eat, no nice   clothes or pleasures such as girls love, left an orphan under   such tragic circumstances at the age of fourteen, picking up the   scattered bones of her mother and baby sister, the only relatives   she ever knew in this life. Married to a drunkard when   she was seventeen, divorced and a baby to care for at eighteen,   of his and one of her own to care for at twenty, living in a one   - room log cabin in the midst of such starvation and poverty,   endure. At the age of twenty-three she had three   babies of her own and little help, as father's older children   were working in homes to earn their living.   Mother gave birth to her fourth child, John Rudolf, October 19,   1875. After her death he married Emma   Florence Western and after she died he married Helen Ellsworth. Mother died 1 February 1921. Verena died 6   February 1925, Annie died 14 August 1926, Emuel died 12 September   1932, Joseph died 9 May 1940, John died 11 April 1944. The old log house where most of   milk house, as father kept about twenty cows and mother made   butter. I remember the numerous pans of milk from which mother   skimmed the cream and fed the milk to pigs. My sister   Bertha Stallings also lived in the south part of town, several   blocks from our place. Father had worked hard on his farm, which was a couple   of miles southeast of our home. My sister   Annie took care of me most of the time, as my mother had so much   work to do. I slept downstairs in mother's and father's bed-room. My father took his eggs, butter and farm produce to   Ogden once a week. Mother didn't cook much, so I never had a   normal diet. We   took a lunch and stayed there part of the day. We had great   times at Bertha's house. I had a picture taken when I was about ten in a purple   velvet dress with white satin front. My father, who was past seventy, became discouraged with   the farm work and his failing health and moved to Ogden, but he   was very unhappy after that. Father owned five small lots and a three room   house one room brick, two frame, on 1518 Jefferson Avenue. Father stayed home   most of the time and sat on the front porch in a big rocker. Mother didn't have so much work   now, as father had sent poor Jakob to Provo to the hospital as he   city. My happiest days after we moved   summer. Charlotte took me for long rides in the buggy, and   sometimes she got me on a horse behind her, but I usually fell   off when the horse began to trot. Mother always said big eaters   would breed a famine, but he died young. George Thomas, later President of University   of Utah, was Principal and I took Economics from him. I took a   Commercial course first two years. None of the boys ever asked me   to go out with them during my school days.   In summer of 1905 I took a train trip to Mayger, Oregon, where my   sister Annie lived. They took me to Portland, also to Seattle to   the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition, to seaside and to British   Columbia on a swell boat. They gave me a nice watch for a   graduation present when finished school in 1906. I dreaded to see my   school days end as they were my happiest days. Some of our class   wished me to take the examinations for school teachers, so I did   Certificate. Then we decided to write letters to different   counties and apply for a school and I got a school in Croyden,   Morgan County, Utah, at $55 a month and started to teach there in   september 1906. Later,   when they were building the Cement Mills at Devil's Slide, they   came up to school. About 200 men came there to work. I boarded near the school at the home of John London and   his daughter, Maude,. I had a nice big fronts room, well   furnished, with a good heating stove, board and room for $12 a   month. I came home at noon for lunch. He was   Ogden in 1927, when I stayed at my brother Joseph's house at 666   - 21st, he was then Bishop of the Fourth Ward. He later   married a Warren girl, Mary Belle Wayment and I met him in   Farmington in 1939 or later when he was living in Clearfield. My nephew, Arthur Stallings later married   Verna Folkman, one of Bishop Stewart's grand-daughters who   attended my school. Sister Stewart lived until she was 98 years old. I took the star part in a play   "Philopena". My sister Annie and husband, Will Inglis, came from Oregon   for the funeral and stayed for the holidays.   My father left some money in the bank for Mother, but he deeded   sister Annie, but several years later when mother needed more   money, we sold the house and five lots for $1400 and gave the   money to mother. Lizzie helped me in school with the music and singing   when I gave programs. One morning one of the trustees,   James Toone, visited the school, as I was lining up the children   to march in the room. The cow came up and put her front feet on the steps. The first part of January Will asked me to go to   the hospital and help take care of her. I stayed at the hospital and   tried to help take care of her. On 28 January, 1910, we took her   to John Inglis's for a week, then we took her home. She still   took the sedative, which the doctor said he didn't authorize the   nurses in the hospital to give to her. In March I went to stay at John Inglis's and   Marinda took care of me. I stayed in bed for three weeks and Dr.   Wooden came every other day and gave me treatments. He also gave me several kinds   of medicine to take every hour. I was in bed most of the day   until June. One day in June the Mill got on fire and burned the   mill, millions of feet of lumber, all the houses an store owned   by the Oregon Lumber company. They took me to an upstairs bedroom and I could   see the fire from the window. All day John Inglis carried things   out of his house and threw them down a well that was almost dry. So he   visited me and asked me to teach a Sunday School class. Josephine Farr Olson, who later married Niels   Lundwahl was Beatrice's sister, also Lionel Farr was her brother. But in June 1911, I resigned from Wright's and Mother,   Charlotte and I took the train and went to Mayger, Oregon, to   visit Annie and Will Inglis. A boat ride on the Columbia River through the   Cascade Locks was an enjoyable trip we took. Then we came to a Booth at the fair   where there were two L.D.S. We took in all   the sights in Portland, the rose city. One time few months after I had started to work there, my   payroll was all correct, no errors.   I boarded at Small's, 349 7th Street until mother came to   Portland. When mother came we moved to a small house owned by   Temple Short. They were very nice people and I later met them   again in St. George. Mabel Short had married Charles Sullivan in   St. George later. William Sloan, her son, was later president of the   Cardston to the temple every summer. Her daughter Ruth married   Richard West, one of our Sunday School Superintendency and her   daughter Agnes, who married Alexander Nibley, later became a very   dear friend. Her brother David Eccles,   owner of Oregon Lumber Company, where Will Ingles worked, died in   Utah and left estate, etc, valued at thirty millions. Hyrum   Baird was home and he and I spent a lot of time on the beach. One of the girls, Miss Bicknase, had gone to Los Angeles   and she wrote for me to come there. I saw him later in San Francisco   and he wished to take me to Golden Gate Park, so I went with him. Lucy Stein, an old chum I knew in Ogden High School,   lived in Frisco.   I then took the boat to Los Angeles, and Emma Bicknase, a former   employee of Meier and Frank's met me, and I got a room at the   place where she stayed. His   partner, John Mulder came in. They did work on several schools at   one time had seventeen jobs running at one time. I worked for them two years, then work   got scarce and they didn't have enough work to keep in business.   In March 1913, I sent for mother and we lived in the Bixel   on a little out-door porch and mother slept in the wall bed. We could push the button and it would   take us where we wished to go. Westlake park was within walking   distance and mother liked to go there. She   L.A., he came on a trip and called on us. Mother was very friendly and she   liked him. Evelyn Goodwin, one of her   friends and I took a trip to San diego on a boat. Mr. Scholl went with me   and we stayed a week, but I did not find a job, so we came back   to L.A. We left   that evening for San Diego where we lived for a year. Mother came to San Diego and   rented a nice apartment for $9 a month. Charlotte came at the same time. She stayed with us and   we rented a room downstairs for Laura and Nell. My health   was very poor, so she did most of the work, so I could go on   trips with them., Mary Jones, Josie Reno and her mother also came   to visit us. My brother William Stone and wife Lue visited   mother and us. Mother   kept her apartment in the city. My sister elizabeth Reeder and   her husband William and daughter Elizabeth Reeder came to see us. We   went down to mother's apartment to see my sister.   In April, 1916, I decided to go to Utah and get mother's   furniture out of storage, where we put it when we sold the house   in Ogden a couple of years before. I took a boat to L.A. I took a train to Ogden and stayed at   my brother Joseph's. I took the furniture out of storage. I spent   about three months in Eden at my sister Bertha's. In June 1916, I went to   Salt Lake, met Alice Castleton and had pictures taken with her on   temple grounds.   Since work was so scarce in San Diego, George came back to L.A. She   went to stay at Sister Miller's, a sister she knew in the church   and her health began to fail from then on.   I returned to Los Angeles in July 1916, and we rented a six room,   well furnished house at 842 west 49th street from Anna Manner, a   German lady who lived in a house in the rear. As my organs   had been prolapsed before, the uterus came out after I began to   work. Mother stayed with   us.   In December, 1917, my sister Bertha and her husband, Arthur   Stallings came to visit us. Audrey loved Arthur, called him   "Oiho" and never cried when he was in the room. I stayed there after I came from Salt   lake until I was able to take care of Audrey. He came to see us and gave me $5. I got Mary Beuttner through an employment agency and   she came and did my washing, ironing and cleaning.   Mother took Audrey for long walks. I took Audrey to Sunday School at West Adams from the   time she was two and a half years old. Mother always went to   Church. Mother rented a room   on 10th and Maple, where she spent her last days on earth. The last time I remember mother coming to our house   at 624 Hobart was on Christmas day, 1920.   In January, 1921, mother took bronchial pneumonia. Annie and   Will Inglis came to see mother. They stayed with George and took   care of Audrey and I went up and stayed with mother. The missionaries from the California   mission came often and sang for her. One day, she said to me, "Emma, do you know   the greatest regret I have?' I said, "No, mother." She said,   "It is because I haven't done the temple work for my dead." I   said, "Mother, I don't know anything about temple work, and I am   married out of the church and have a foot in the grave. During the three weeks I stayed   with her she was never unconscious. Brown take care of her. Mother told me to give all her things and money she had in   the bank to Audrey. Then I sent the record and   $422.77 to Emuel to hire the work done in the temple. Elijah Larkin, my niece   Rosella's husband, an undertaker on 24th Street in Ogden, met the   train and took care of mother's body. We took lots of walks. April   5, 1921 it was snowing and we took kodak pictures of the Peery   mansion near where Charlotte lived. He didn't live long after that, as he died June 9, 1921. She is a wonderful person and so   is her mother, who has done much for me ever since I was born.   When I came back to L.A. I seemed to realize for the first time   what a great soul my mother was, and how great was my loss when   she left this world. George started soon after to put up the framework of the   house which took him seven years to complete, and he has been   doing some work on it ever since, which did not improve it. He   took away the lovely sun patio, the distinguishing feature of the   house, enclosed and roofed a porch, which made the dining room   dark and gloomy. Elders Melvin Freebairn   and Keith Murdock came. They asked me to   teach in Sunday School. I taught that class from then until 1925, two or three   months before Elaine's birth. We met in Clair Stewart's   mother's house, Mabel Roberts and Frances Conover's in Griffith   park, the latter being the First president. I was still   Secretary when Ida Nalson was President, was released shortly   before Elaine's birth. The Relief Society came to our house in   February 1925 and made the baby clothes for me. So she came over   many times with her books. Before Elaine was born sister Stewart   and her Stake board came and pres.ted me with a bassinet, which I   used for Elaine and which Elaine has used for 7 of her babies.   I put on a play, "The Nativity", before Christmas for three years   including the Christmas before Elaine was born in April. The   Superintendent took Audrey and me home that night. He came   and took us to get Audrey baptized April 5th, 1925.   Elaine Mary was born Tuesday, 7:30 p.m., April 28th, 1925 in a   our house. The day before, Brother Peterson his wife Ethel came. He came to administer to me and as he   did so, tears ran down his cheeks. Snow, a counsellor in the Relief   Society came on Tuesday before meeting. He came at 5:00 p.m. I got supper for him and   George who came soon after. While they ate I took a hot bath   about 6:30 p.m. Elaine was born at 7:30 p.m. The nurse had not   yet arrived. When the nurse, Adelle Bailey, came they took the   babe to the kitchen to oil and fix her. I nursed Elaine eight months and she was a very   good baby. Elaine didn't do well on the certified   milk until I gave her orange juice with each bottle.   In June, 1926, Audrey, Elaine and I spent two months in Hermosa   Beach in a rented house. Elaine   could walk fast now and we had to watch her all the time. Elaine was playing in the sand   and she screamed. Will took her body to Utah to bury her.   Elaine's first playmate was Bill Morkin Jr. We took her to a   Chiropractor. He gave her a treatment and told me to give her   throat and wrap a dry towel around it. They did not   diagnose her case, but told me to bring her back a week later and   the greatest child specialists in L.A., Dr Cecil, would be there. Previous to this time five eye, ear and nose and   removed and a bone taken out of my nose, I would go deaf. It fasted two or   three days but kept on working.   About November 1, Elaine began to breathe like a man snoring. Stewart to come and administer to her. He came at 8:00am   and administered to her. He said Elaine was a lovely baby   and only had Tonsillitis, but he took a culture and the next day   they quarantined us and that is a fake like the doctor. They put   George out of the house, but he came back after dark and left   after daylight, so I had his meals to cook. I have   never given my girls any drugs or "shots," except Audrey   vaccination for small pox. Even though I had the diphtheria, I took care   of the girls and even fixed George's food, though he was supposed   to be staying elsewhere, he came home for his food and slept   there, also. Elaine got over the diphtheria first, though she   got it last. I took a kettle of beets off the   stove and poured the hot water in the sink. One day in February I took   Elaine to the store in her cart. A child came up and kissed her,   and she soon came down with chicken-pox.   January 28, 1927 Will Inglis and my sister Bertha came to visit   us. One day while they were here and   no one was watching Elaine, she ran down to Sunset Blvd., a very   busy corner where several people have been killed. Bertha   massaged me and I took abdominal exercises every day, also. We had a small wood heater in the front room fire place   and kept a fire in it, but Bertha and will said they were never   so cold in their lives. Later he gave   me one of mother and father.   June 12th, 1927 we took the train to Utah. We stayed in my   brother Joseph's beautiful brick house, 666 21st Street. He also owned a 90   there all week, came down Saturday and went back Monday. Velva lived in the house in   Ogden and Comfort came sometimes. On such right food Elaine got her first cough later in the   summer. When we got there, Audrey slept with Velva, and she soon   came down with the diphtheria. I took   care of Velva, gave her enemas, Epsom salt baths, etc. I even   got Mark to take enemas. I had Dr. Hollie's book with a picture   and instructions for taking high enemas. Almost across the street was a nice park with   a playground where Audrey and Elaine spend a great deal of time. They wouldn't take a cent of   pay, even for lights and gas. Natell was a year older then   Elaine and La Dene a year younger. She surely wished she would eat like   Elaine did. I had mother's large trunk, so I took it back   to L.A. She told me to take it home and   keep it from then on. We didn't like to leave Joseph's nice place,   but we had to go back in September, so Audrey could go back to   school, now she was well. After seven years   working on them, he at last finished the house and garage. So in   June 1928, I urged him to let me put an ad in the paper to rent   it, so we could go to Oregon to see his father who was 79years   old. We leased it for a year, but they stayed in it ten years   until they built a home of their own, and were very good tenants. We had our   pictures taken with her two boys George and John. We stayed a week at George's sister's in Salem. I   never saw her again after 1928, but Audrey visited them about ten   years later. We spent   most of the summer at George's father's house, 679 Locust Street,   Portland. He is the only grand-parent Elaine ever saw, the   others being dead before she was born. She had her picture taken   with him. George's father's house had a basement where   I canned it. One old native sister came up   to him and told him to administer to his own arm. I had   met William Sloan's mother Margaret, his brother Lloyd and his   sister Agnes, when I lived in Portland in 1912, so I was glad to   meet him. We saw   grapes on the way, so be bought a lot.We all had bad vomiting and   colds soon after arriving in Glendale, except Elaine. She gave Audrey a dress when she graduated   from the 8th grade at the Fletcher Street School near her house. William Martin also asked me   to be a home teacher in Genealogy, which position I held until I   left Glendale. I did home teaching in Genealogy in St. George,   Farmington and in Hollywood Ward. Audrey and Ve Lora Gough   were Sunday School Secretaries. One Tuesday before I left she fell and broke her   hip, so I took Elaine to school to stay with Audrey. Elaine was baptized for her in St. George   Temple.after her death, and I did her endowments and acted as   proxy in sealing her to her parents. I happened to visit her the day she died and she asked   me to tell the nurse about Joseph Smith land the plates, which I   did. I got the dates of her parents and their family and asked   her if I should do temple work for them. At the   her mother who was then dead. I could see why she had the dream   as her mother, Elizabeth Galli, was Swiss and no one had secured   her record from Switzerland for temple work. I worked on my   temple records at Luella's home. Audrey and Elaine often went to   Lagoon and to Charlotte's to play with Natell and La Deane. We   Street, so Audrey could walk to Glendale High School.   Elaine started to John Muir School, a block from our house in   February 1931. I took   her to a chiropractor for treatments. Daddy, Elaine and I slept   in the back yard. Elaine played with   Ernest and Evelyn Seth. Elaine's second grade teacher was Miss Townsend. She let   Elaine sing a solo for the P.T.A. She stayed at Emuel's in   Salt Lake, 611 - Park Street until Elaine and I came. We had to   take the bus and it was eleven hours late, as it had so many   break downs. L.Temple   mother's birth. So I sent   to Julius Billter for his mother's record right away. Audrey went home to Glendale to go to school   in September. I went to Salt Lake Temple 21 September 1932 for   first time and got my own endowments. Elaine went to Farmington   school. A week before   brother's mother's record four lines, Sutter, Mueller, Siegrist   and Stoeckli and my father's mother's record, also Aerny line. I asked Joseph to come and bring me to Ogden so I   could get the family to donate money for the record. I visited   my brother William Stone and his wife Ida, whom I met for the   first time. He knew him and he phoned for him to come   to the Temple. I met him and gave him the money and soon after   that I received the record.   Most of the people's cars wouldn't run in such deep water, so we   took some of the people home. In February Elaine had the measles.   May 6, 1933, Elaine was baptized and confirmed May 7th by Joseph   E. On Mother's Day she gave a poem and Audrey gave a talk   on the mother's day program in Sunday School. Elaine went to Primary and donated to the new chapel.   August 1933, Audrey went to stay and work for George and Orthello   Hughes. I held a cottage meeting at our house and invited her   to come to it. She sent flowers, saying she had to take care of   children that night. Later I took her to a cottage meeting at   James's house. So I took her   to Church and gave her books to read, "Life of Joseph Smith,"   Book of Mormon, pioneer stories etc. Later I took her to   George Bowles to get a patriarchal blessing.   One day when I was lying out on my out - door bed, a man came in   wished to see the house. I took him in the back door and all   through the house. When I told him, he said, "This is the cleanest house   I ever saw, nd we will reduce your rent to $20 a month."   In June, 1934, Elaine and I went to Utah.   Elaine played with Mary Stelter and Carol Mayfield, also Nallie   and La Dene. Elaine still went to John Muir school,   six block away and had to take lunch. I went to her house and took sun baths on her garage   roof.   1934, so Audrey came home. She attended Glendale Junior College,   took a business course.   In June 1935, George gave up the Lincoln house and rented a small   apartment, which was very nice and he like it.   Audrey, Elaine and I went to Utah. She came to Farmington later in   the summer. When Elaine and I got to Charlotte's, she was going   with us up to Luella Hess's when we met Heber Van Fleet. Franklin and Willard Richards had built   several houses in Farmington many years ago. Charlotte asked   Heber if his house was still for rent. It was my mother's record. Elaine   played with Betty Steed, who lived in house where Le Grand   Richards was born. Audrey had to go back in september to attend   Junior College.   Elaine went to school in Farmington few weeks. Brother Le Cheminant only   charges $6 for Elaine and me (for both of us). When we went   through Santa Clara Sister Widtsoe said, "Sister Scholl, this is   where you should come." I never realized my next trip to Utah   would take me there.   Elaine went to the Columbus school. On Saturdays Elaine went with Audrey to   Junior College to play tennis with Miriam and Esther, Audrey's   friends. So he pulled it and I was surely sorry as it was my   largest tooth on the left side and a bottom tooth, the only   years old, 1953) I had my teeth filled when I was about 15 years   old, both top and bottom, but the top ones were so badly decayed   in the front, cap with gold crowns 4 or 5 others (including one   artificial one fastened on a cap. I stayed at   Mennie Davis's three weeks, in bed and took a glass of milk,   fruit juice etc. I tried to   get her to go on a mission that summer, but she was only 19 years   old and when Bishop Olson asked George, he refused to give his   consent. å   My health was so poor that I went to the Stake Patriarch, George   Bowles and asked him to give me a blessing for my health.   One night, probably six months or more after I visited him and   got the blessing, the Patriarch came to visit Glendale Ward. When I met him in the chapel, he gave me   a look with those piercing eyes and said, "Sister Scholl," I told   you to leave here. I saw the St. George Temple and I looked   to see where I was, and I saw a little place like our granary on   the farm, only it had a little porch and steps to it. I   finally packed all our clothes, rolled up all our blankets and on   November 18th 1936, Elaine and I got round trip tickets on the   bus to Salt lake good for six months. I wished to stop in St.   George to see if I could find the place I saw in my dream. He advised us to stay in St. George, said that had two   room we could rent for $12 a month. They lived in an old two   story adobe house across from the Tabernacle. Elaine went to   school at Woodard School. It seemed to me Elaine developed mentally and   spiritually more the two years she spent in St. George than in   all her previous school years. It was in some of these rooms where Wilford Woodruff   lived when he was President of the temple. Elaine kept quite   well. She came home at noon for lunch. We got pears from George Tobler raised in   Santa Clara, the best apples we ever ate, Missouri pippins,   Brother Crawford who worked in the temple, brought from the high   mountains, Brother Worthen raised good carrots, turnips and   asparagus and all kinds of vegetables early in the spring, also   had pomegranates. I never met so many kind generous people   before in my life as I met in St. George. Elaine encouraged me to go. He   later became President of Temple after George Whitehead. I met   Rosena Blake at the temple, visited her often and saw her Swiss   records. She said she had a   granary on back of her house, had it made into a room and rented   it. She had a Sidler and Hegetschweiler   and my mother were cousins, which makes her the only relative of   mother's we have ever known on earth. Three nephews went on   missions to switzerland, found father's relatives, but not   mother's.   One day Jakob Frei came from Santa Clara to meet me. We found   his father's mother and my father's mother were sisters, and his   father had done the temple work in St. George for our great-grandfather Heinrich Aerny in 1891. I met Jakob's sister, Mary   Frei Reuber, of Santa Clara, and she did my grandmother,   Elizabeth Aerni's work in St. George temple when she was only 15   years old.   Marie Steinacher, a natures path doctor came and gave me   treatments for a dollar each. She told   us about Dr. Gould's compounds and we sent for them for Elaine   and myself, and later for Audrey when we went back to California.   While we were in St. George, George and Audrey moved from 521   Milford March 27, 1937, to 1137 1/2 Orange Grove Avenues.   I was very sick in winter of 1937, but Elaine urged me to go to   the temple. We went to the Library   and got books all the time we were in St. George. Elaine enjoyed playing it.   In September, 1937, we took the bus to St. George. I didn't know whether to   stay in St. George or go back to California. So we went to   Brother George Worthen, the Patriarch where we had rented rooms   the previous winter. He said , "The Lord commands you to stay in   St. George. After he finished, he said, "Brother Worthen told   you to go to California, but the Lord told you to stay here, so   obey the Lord." Elaine liked fresh milk, so Sister Blake milked   before breakfast, so she could have warm milk. Every day, after Elaine went to school, I knelt   and asked the Lord what work he had for me. Then I   asked for a motion on how to secure funds for temple work.   During the winter of 1937-38 Elaine had a queer accident. Coming   home from school, she passed the hospital. He took us to Moroni Langford's house   to get him to assist. He said " Elaine, we rebuke Satan and command   him to depart. We also advise you   to obey your mother. We say unto you, Elaine, remember this   administration as long as you live." Brother Langford said   to stay in St. George, also repeating parts of my patriarchal   blessing. These were great faith promoting   experiences to me and hope they will be to Elaine.   Elaine had Margaret Little and Mary Jarvis for Bee Hive teachers. She was so anxious now to get it and could hardly wait for   it to come.   While we were in Utah, George and Audrey had moved back to our   house at 1636 Golden Gate Avenue., L.A., which we had rented to   Ginsbergs for ten years. In September, 1938, Elaine and I went   back to L.A., after being in Utah twenty-two months. I liked Glendale Ward much better and it was   still our Stake House.   Elaine went to Thomas Starr King School. She was surely a steady,   good worker to hold a job for six years and Mr. Jones appreciated   her fine work very much, as he told me when I talked to him on   the phone when she was home sick. But when I first came back, I   noticed she wasn't attending Sacrament Meeting, which worried me.   One Sunday morning, after Sunday School, a young man stepped up   meeting that Sunday night. They came quite often to   take Audrey out after that. She told me Abel John said Audrey   was the best looking girl in the Ward. Glen Kroksh came to see her the night she was gone with   Brother Philips (Abel John's cousin). I asked John Russon to take me home. I took long walks   lesson for Monday night.   In June 1939, Elaine and I went to Utah. Luella Hess was dead, so we went to   Ogden to Joseph's house on 20th. Elaine bought a new bicycle, so she could ride around   town. I rode to Logan with Glen and stayed six weeks with Esther   Clark and went to the Logan Temple, some days three sessions. So Elaine went up and stayed there part of the time I   was in Logan. Elaine slept on her side porch. In August I did   20 endowments in Salt Lake Temple. I did not keep a record of work I   did in Temples prior to 1938, St George 1936-37 etc. I was set apart by   Stake Counsellor Rulon Cheney, October 1, 1939, in the Glendale   Chapel, then our Stake House. The two summers I   spent in Utah, my sister, Bertha Stallings and I visited people   in Farmington. I held 16 cottage meetings in the two years, one   in Farmington and one in my own home in May 1941, at which   Charles Norberg spoke. Joseph Townsend,   who wrote so many of our songs, was also a Stake Missionary, and   we often went to his son Bertram's house to cottage meetings,   which they held every week. Went on a train to   take Minnie Doerr Davis. I rented a room and   stayed then days and went back on the train. He took us to   see the ruins, also to citrus fruit orchards to get fruit.   We could take a shower before we left the temple. I spent much time   children will benefit from the, also from the Church books and   Health books I have purchased and kept for them. He was 76 years old when I met him   and had practiced as a doctor 50 years in Los Angeles. Audrey gave me $20 a month and presents of money on   birthdays Christmas and Mothers Day. Elaine did a great deal of   the house - work, on Saturdays and before and after school.   In June 1940, Elaine graduated from Thomas Star King Junior High   School. We rented Jane Steed's kitchen with an   electric range in it, two bed - rooms and used her bath room.   Elaine did 139 baptisms.   In September 1940, we returned to Los Angeles and Elaine started   to John Marshall High School. The missionary work took a great   deal of my time, but I am very grateful for having filled a Stake   Mission. In 1932 in Glendale I was attending three Union   meetings, Sunday School, Relief society and genealogy.   During my two years mission from October 1939 to November 1941, I   went out doing tracting 230 times, put in 795 hours, entered 283   homes for first time, made 233 revisits, had 496 invitations to   return, held 1108 conversations (five minutes or more, I believe)   gave our 2666 tracts and held 16 cottage meetings. Elaine and I went shopping in Glendale.   George had given me $6 and Audrey gave a signed check.   In June 1941, I went to Utah alone, as Elaine stayed with her   father and Audrey. Joseph Pratt and family lived in Luella Hess's   house. Bernice and family, Leurs, Luella and family,   Lee and wife came and stayed nights several times. He came home when war was over, alright and with a   strong testimony. I stayed until   October Conference and got a ride back to L.A. Glen took his mother, Audrey and me to Mesa in his car. Glen stayed at Sister   Brown's. Audrey, Vera Kroksh and I stayed at Petersons's lovely   home. They were away and told us to make ourselves at home, even   told us to help ourselves to food we could find. Glen's mother   couldn't go to the temple with us. Audrey and Glen had rented a small house, in the southwest   house. Glen worked   on Sundays, so she came over every sunday and went to Church with   Elaine and me and went back home after Church.   In June 1942, Elaine graduated from John Marshall High School. It blew off all the fruit, all the leaves, blew down many   trees, took out the Bank window and Eva Van Fleet's east window,   next door to Charlotte.   Elaine, Single During The War   I returned to Los Angeles. Elaine started to City college near   Vermont. She and Audrey both drove   their father's car, as we could go to church in it now. Elaine   did outstanding work in the Bee Hive class in M.I.A., having a   wonderful scrap book and being an Honor Bee. She had   special talent in making scrap books, also in dress making which   she took in grade school and in High School.   up to Elaine and asked her to stay to fireside. He brought it the next Sunday   and came to our house for dinner. Elaine   had a rash, so she didn't go to Sunday School. June and Elaine looked at each   Blessings, both given by George Wilde. June came to our house   often from that time. Elaine went to the leap year-dance with   Raphael Olson. June worked swing shift at Lockheed's Airplane   Factory and often came in the daytime. When Elaine was   eighteen years old, April 28, 1943, she quit college.   Sunday, May 16, 1943, at 11:30 p.m., June, Elaine and I took the   bus to Utah. We went to Rosena Blake's in St. George, stayed all   night Monday night. Tuesday morning May 18th, we went to the St.   George Temple. June and Elaine got their own endowments and I   did an endowment for the dead. They were married in Salt Lake Temple May   19, 1943 by Brother David Broadbent, counsellor to the temple   president. They   stayed in the house with George that summer. Edward Clark,Stake Patriarch, came up and my   sister and I asked him to dedicate it. My brother, William Stone, came and fixed the cellar   door, kitchen door and windows. Charlotte and my sister helped me an gave   me furniture, etc. November 6th I got word form Elaine that she had   miscarriage. She had gone to   Audrey's the day she had it, so Audrey had her go to bed. I had better health that winter   than usual, so after Elaine got strong we washed all the wood   work in our house, which was an all winter's job. June came   from San Diego on his way east. a   couple of hours and he couldn't go far from the station, so we   took a taxi and went to the station.   Elaine could drive her father's car, so she took Audrey and me to   church, as Audrey still came over every Sunday. It was the first winter Elaine was home all day.   May 23, 1944, Elaine and I went on the bus to Utah. We stopped at   Rosena Blake's in St. George a couple of days and went to the   temple. Elaine had not seen the place she now owned. I doubt if   she would have liked to live in the house as it was in Winter. Elaine could climb the trees and was surely a   good picker. Elaine got $300 for the cherries and had no expenses   to pay out of it. This was the happiest summer of my life to have   Elaine to go to the temple with me.   Elaine went to Los Angeles on September 12. Elaine was restless, so she got a job at an   office in L.A. In May Elaine went there and they rented an   apartment.   I went to Utah May 4th and stopped in St. George at Rosena   Blake's few days and went to the temple. Elaine came from   Frisco in August. I only did three endowments in Salt lake   Temple. Elaine didn't feel so well, being pregnant. Elaine didn't feel well that   winter. She took lots of walks and we read several books.   Audrey came every Sunday. Elaine seemed so happy that winter.   Kent was born about 7:00 a.m. March 18 in the same room where   Elaine was born 21 years before. She   had a very easy birth, no pains until about 5:00 a.m., when I had   her take a hot bath. I took care of her and the baby, had her   weeks. June came down on Friday   nights and went back on Sundays. They had come from Switzerland now the war was   over. Audrey had given me $300 to buy a lot several   years before. Audrey gave me $400 more and I paid   June the same as he paid for the place. They bought the Fuhriman   home in Providence, a two - story stucco house. June helped pick   the cherries, Bertha helped , also. We got a buggy from Virginia   Young for Kent, so we could take him out. On that day, June's   father Fred Gardiner, came from Malta, Idaho, in a little truck   and took Elaine and Kent to Providence,. But it was only   few days until Elaine found a ride down here.   October 13, 1946 Bertha and I went to Ogden and stayed at Dr.   Conrad Jenson's house for two weeks. came home from college at week ends. I went to Providence to Elaine's Oct.   31st. Elaine got an   awful cold. I had John Wallace send Elaine a   hundred pounds of carrots. Elaine   seemed very unhappy. The Bishop gave June the job of President of the Elders   Quorum. About a year later when I was in St. George, she   Church when he finished college. When I had been there about two months, he told   Elaine he wanted me to leave. It snowed in April   Elaine and Kent came down in may for a week. Early one morning George came in a car he bought from   Fred Walker. He took it up to give to Elaine. He brought Elaine and Kent down. Audrey and Glen   came about June 17. Glen's mother was   with them. Her mother lived in Tremounton so they went there. Glen and Audrey came down   again in few days. Elaine and Kent came and stayed a   while. Elaine picked some cherries. He was lying   on the bare floor asleep when we came back. He put a Lennox coal furnace in   their basement, so Elaine was more comfortable than she had been   the previous winter. This was my first winter in Utah   for many years except the two we spent in St. George 1936-1938. He gave me a blessing and told me to stay   in St. George. I took long   walks.   (1948) Elaine and Kent came down in May. I was so glad to see   them once more. Elaine was pregnant so she couldn't pick   cherries. But Elaine   and Kent moved down to Farmington with me July 17th, 1948. He came up the Sunday before the baby was born. Elaine   was at Sunday School. She took a bath in the tub. The baby was already arriving, when   the Doctor came. Elaine was glad the baby was   a brown-eyed girl. June came down when he got his masters degree at the   A.C. Elaine did   not feel able to go there with two babies, so June went to L.A.   in the car George gave Elaine. Audrey and Glen had been living   with George since June 1946. He came back in Audrey's car with George's   trailer in October. I packed Elaine's things in the trailer,   also my clothes and some canned fruit. I stopped in St. George   and rented Charlotte Atkins basement for $10 a month. They went   to Los Angeles and lived with George, Audrey and Glen. Dolly Brown, from Clearfield,   rented a room in her house. I had brought canned   fruit but didn't use it, so in spring I sent it to Elaine by   Rocky Mt. Marie Le Baron came and gave me treatments. I was asked by the bishops of two Wards to do   home teaching in Genealogy. Lenzi Sullivan asked me to teach the   home teachers how to teach in his Ward. He brought his wife's   mother, Wayne's sister, Anna Stewart to the funeral. It came off the roof and froze. Charlotte came up and made my fire.   Brother Hedgepeth took me to Brother Earl's to buy them.   Brother Hedgepeth took them to Lee Jost's in Kaysville. I went to   town every day, to Charlotte's for long walks up Farmington   Canyon all winter. I had a nice winter at Mrs. Chaffin's   and she gave me a check for $150 when I left. So July 19th, 1950, I locked up my place and took the bus   to L.A. Audrey met me and I went to her house. I slept in our house that night in the room   where Kent, was born and he slept in there , also. At 4:00 a.m. July 22nd, Elaine went to a   hospital and Mark was born that morning. In two days   she came home. I took care of him. I   had Elaine stay in bed for 10 or 12 days. Sandra slept in   George's porch, Kent in my room and Mark in the dining room,   later in the middle bed-room. George had built a nice little   sunny house in the back yard and he slept there. Elaine said he was white when he was born. Elaine nursed him and he soon got white. June and George gave Sandra food I didn't approve of   feeding a two year old. Elaine had grown very nervous in the   two years since she left Utah. She and June looked for houses a   great deal of the time. I bought Kent a youth   bed, Mark a crib and some other things for Elaine with the $150   dollars Mrs. Chaffin gave me. They moved just before Christmas,   but Kent stayed with us for several weeks. June told Elaine he didn't want me to ever darken   his doors. I went over once, the first Tuesday in February and   asked Elaine to go to Relief Society. I subscribed for   Relief Society Magazine, Era and Children's Friend for Elaine   past three years (1953).   But they came to dinner at our house many Sundays. Audrey came,   also and Glen worked . But all he got for Braziers was a pedigree chart of   Brother Brazier's mother lines in England.   took the Bus to Salt lake. I got Lola and Robert Kirkham, Sara Jo Cheney,   Brother Hunt's daughters and friends from Salt Lake to pick. I went   to bed for the rest of the day, but got up next day and kept on   picking, also canned. Elaine and her   family came next week but went right on to Malta, Idaho. They   came back a week later and stayed two nights. I put Mark in   Kent's buggy, Kent on a cot in the front rooms, Sandra in the   play pen in front room and I slept by them on the day bed. June   and Elaine slept in the bed-room. Elaine went to the Dentist and   took Kent to Lagoon. In August I brought up all the temple records and wrote   300 sheets or temple work. I soon   afterward learned that Elaine was pregnant four months, so I   asked to be released from the Sunday School teaching. Dr. Dean   care of Elaine's children, so he was put in Genealogical Chairman   and he also taught the class in Sunday School. Elaine got along fine. He was more   active in the church now than he had been since they came to L.A. Mark stayed until June 8th. I took Mark for   long walks every day.   I offered to care for Elaine and the baby, but they refused, so   she had no care after she came to her home from the hospital. Sandra's crib was in the front bed-room and I   room and put Mark in it and Kent slept in the crib in my room. My   brother william and Ida came to see us while I had them. They stayed at her nephews, Wilford Edling's in Glendale,   for a few weeks, in April. It was the last time I ever saw my   dear brother, as he went home last of April and was killed May   12th. Elaine was   going to have Janice blessed first Sunday in June, so they took   Mark home Sat. But Elaine took sick that   night, so June brought Mark back Sunday morning and he stayed   that week. I went to Elaine's Sunday after Mark went home and he   was so happy to see me. I took care of him most of the time the   was two. I picked them alone and Oscar Clark took them   to market in Salt Lake. Hinman's had lots of apricots so I took   them to market in Salt Lake. Hinman's had lots of apricots so I   bought 9 bushels for 50 cents bushel, picked them and canned and   dried them and sent them to Elaine. I had the Deseret Roofing   Company from Salt lake put roof and siding on the house, Irvin   Pearson stucco back chimney and Ed. was a non member of the Church, George Duncan   and he called many times and I taught him the Gospel. Audrey and   Glen came about September 17th and I rode back to L.A. Glen's mother Vera Kroksh, was with them. Elaine didn't need me as she had the previous winter. Audrey phoned that Elaine had been ill the day before   and all night. If she had only told me the day before I could   have taken care of her and saved her much suffering. I   children, so I could do little for Elaine. I went early the next   morning and they said the doctor was coming. All he did when he   came was give a prescription for some more pain killing dope. But I got her to take an enema (painful   task for me), got her in a tub of hot Epsom salts water, got her   to bed and put compresses on the abdomen over the ovary. The frost had taken the apricots and   cherries. I only sold 125 lbs at 12 cents a pound and sent some   to Audrey and Elaine. Roland had pictures of father's old   home and other places he had taken in Switzerland. I would buy a home and stay in it if I had my life to   live over again.   Monday pm Mary Russon met President John Russon, who was on the   train, and they took me home.   Elaine was feeling fine. Mark and Janice l came to stay with us   on 9th December, 1953, Gayle was born 16 Dec, 1953, Kent and   Sandra came to our house, that day and stayed until after   Years. Glen and Audrey came on Christmas day and brought a   and they surely enjoyed it. Elaine   nursed Gayle and she was her best baby, but Mark was a very good   baby. I went over several days a week to help Elaine after mark   and Janice went home. After he took the four   women to their destinations, he took me to Farmington and up to   my place. I cleaned house and stayed here.   George Koroulis came with his pickers and got over 300 pounds,   paid his pickers, but never paid me a cent. Joseph Santoro   from Salt lake came 15 July and I got some girls to pick for him. If i had hurried the Cannery would have taken all of   them. But Elaine came while we were picking and I got beds ready   for them. There were still cherries when they came back from   Malta, also apricots. Nielsen   came and stayed all night several times. with Clarence Wallace, left Monday and got   there after mid-night (Tuesday morning.)   I spent the next eight months in L.A. I helped Elaine   had to work, so Elaine could go to Sunday School and Sacrament   meeting. I put Gayle, Janice and Mark to bed while Elaine, Kent   and Sandra went to Sacrament meeting.   Elaine had some sick spells, so I could help her then. After   Christmas George went to Nebraska for three weeks. Glen was sick   taken to St. Joseph's Hospital in Burbank in January. Glen came   home from the hospital in February or March, but he was very ill.   Glen's mother and Audrey tried to take care of him. Finally Dr.   Crowley of West Glendale Ward offered to take his case. He had   him taken to the St. Vincent's hospital in L.A. They pumped out   his lungs and took abscesses off his kidneys, He was the sickest   hospital. Audrey finally went back to her good   job at Willardson plumbing Co., near their home at 2749 Lakewood,   L.A. Brother Joseph Pratt got 100   pounds to sent to viola in Washington D.C., paid me $10   I donated over $100 to Los Angeles Temple, $100 to Swiss Temple   and $100 to New Zealand Temple past three summers.   Elaine came to Utah in July. I had such a time making beds, I went to Bountiful after   they left and bought two cribs for next time they came. This was the last summer I had the great happiness of   being with my sister, Bertha, I saw her last the Monday morning   I left for L.A. She and Charlotte came up. Bertha died 12 February 1956,   would be 91 years old 19 April.   Since the Los Angeles Temple was about completed, I gave up my   Relief Society teaching, so I could spend all my time making home   visits for teaching Genealogy. Wayne and Elna Astun took me   and I had a front seat. Elaine was pregnant two months   and had a cold, so could not go. June and Kent and Glen and Audrey went. I went again May. Alonzo and   Isabel Smith took Jane Ellen Owen Jones and me. June and Elaine went with them. I stayed with Elaine's   children.   On mothers day in May, Elaine, Kent and Gayle took the mumps.   Glen took me to Elaine's Monday morning and I stayed three weeks,   as June was in New York at Television school. I got Elaine's house cleaned some, as I got up before day   light. She stayed in bed two weeks, others four days. I took   Gayle to Dr. Handly, a chiropractor on E. Glenoaks, near Elaine's   on the fourth day at 5:00pm and he gave her treatment. I did not like to leave Elaine, but I needed   to take care of the orchard, so I came 8th June 1956 with   Clarence Wallace. Sunday I came up to my house. Reuben Clark say some   years ago if the people did not take better care of the land, the   place would go back to desert. I had Grace Darley of   Rupert, Idaho and her son Tom, Tingey's son, Sherman, came and   got them. Charlotte took me to Eden on the 4th of July to the   Cemetery, to my old home where Gainer Bachman, nephew lives ,to   her brother's Arthur Stallings. Charlotte took me to his funeral Tuesday   14 August 1956.   12 October 1956 Elaine's sixth baby, Jeffrey Lynn was born. Isabel in Glendale for three weeks and   slept in the play house, a nice quiet place on a new bed. Then I   and stayed until he had to go home for school. She was six blocks form   Elaine's, so I could walk to Elaine's. Elaine was not well and   Jeffrey was a cross baby. Edith , her daughter, her husband, Joseph Cooper, son   Joseph and Dianne lived in front house. West Glendale Chapel was   on Central Avenue, three blocks from Louies, so I could walk to   church when Elaine was not needing me, but I stayed with Jeffrey   and let her go when she was well enough. I surely enjoyed taking care   of her dear children. We took walks to the Safeway which Gayle and   Janice enjoyed very much.   Elaine had great faith the first twenty - one years of her life.   If Elaine had continued to have that faith, she could have been   healed instead of paying Dr. Harold K. I went home the morning of 7 June,   that night 8 June. I   mother, Mabel Steed took care of their two children. I also got   Loraine Darley and Kathleen, Ramona Bobo and Goldie Barton, Dear   and took them to the market in Salt Lake.   Elaine and family came 23 July, 1957, stayed two days and nights,   then went to Malta, Idaho, came back 6 August and left for home 7   August. But I was very busy taking care of the heavy fruit crop. Charlotte came and took me   back to Farmington. Anna Bock had ben married to Ward Hedges the   3 October, 1957, Mary Jones Nielsen from Ogden and her son Merle,   who works in Schnectady,New York, came to take me to the Salt   Lake Temple.   Elaine did not wish me to help her, so Florence Barton's sister,   Chlo Erskine, asked me to stay with her at 764 Park Street, Salt   Lake City. Charlotte took me there 22 October, 1957. I went to   brother, Wilson Perkins came from Oakland, California in December   1957 and they went to his home 1111 El Centro Avenue, Oakland 10   December. Their mother Lucina Call Perkins was Anson Call's   daughter. They came for   me. She was the mother of 15 living children, a great soul. We was willing to   go but refused to take the shots, so he was not called. I came back to Farmington 15 March 1958. Richard Walton, 760 Park   street, Salt lake City, came and helped me buy 18 fruit trees and   planted them.   26 December, 1958 Elaine gave birth to her seventh child, Julie. I only stayed   there nights, as I helped Elaine every day of the five months   from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. I read religious books to Mark every   night.   Elaine painted and worked hard. They moved to the house   Cleveland Drive when school closed in June, but did not sell the   house on Isabel until later.   Glen, Audrey, Gerald and Glen's mother, Vera Kroksh, came for a   week in August to Attend the Brough family reunion.   At october Conference, 1959, I got a ride to St. George with   Albert Fitzpatrick and stayed at Rosina Blake's, in her two up   stairs rooms.   Saturday, 26 March 1960, I received a letter from Elaine saying   she was ill. Verna Dewsnup took me to   Santa Clara at 5:00 a.m., Monday 28 March 1960. I went to Elaine's home at 1366 Cleveland Drive and   slept in Marks bed room. It is a beautiful home, a large living   room, living room, kitchen, breakfast noon, service porch, five   bed-rooms and fruit room in basement with a large lovely yard.   I was not able to do anything for Elaine. But I did a lot of work and washed   all Elaine's woolen blankets, sweaters, bed pads, etc. I read to Mark as many nights as   he would come to bed early. He came back very sick with bad ears and a cold,   bronchitis, which he has had since he was a baby. I feel   so sorry for Elaine's poor children.   The day school closed 17 June, 1960 I took the train in L.A. I sent 60 pounds to Elaine and   Audrey 21 June 1960. I sent 60 pounds   a week later 28 June 1960. Dear Betty   came for me. I bought two bushels of Golden   them for Elaine's children. å   her my darling Elaine had just died. I prayed for my lovely Elaine, taught her   the gospel, and worked for her 35 years.
