CHANGES /ADDITIONS TO THE CHIDESTER-CHICHESTER HERITAGE (1987)
(The amount of changes that we have received is an indica-
tion of the great value this book has been to the family,
and consequently, a sincere tribute to the dedicated souls
who wrote it, Elmer^nd Thelma Chidester Anderson. Prior
to its publication there was probably a small minority of
the family concerned enough to be sure the information we
provided for it was complete, legible and accurate; but
after receiving the book, many of us have been inspired to
research names, dates and events and now wish to see that
corrections are available for those who are interested.
Note: Additions do not go beyond the year 1978.)

FOREWORD
THE CHIDESTER FAMILY! Where did it all begin and where
will it end? The CHICHESTER-CHIDESTER Family has deep
roots, beginning in England and extending into early
America. The purpose of this book is to establish the
origin of our name and form a bond with those who have
carried it through .the annals of history bringing much
honor to it. Through our earlier ancestors some of our
characteristics were developed and a great heritage was
created for each of us individually to add to. To
these many ancestors this book is dedicated.
This work would not have been possible without the
help of all those who have kept family records, journ-
als and related stories that have come to light in
the research of this Family History. We also grate-
fully acknowledge the efforts of many in research, fin-
ancial support and family reunion support over the years,
It would be impossible to mention all of these contri-
butors, but I am sure that they will all join with me
in special recognition of two people who have devoted
a lifetime of work and effort through thousands of
personal letters, thousands of hours of research and
untold dollars of personal expense. From them have
come the greatest part of record gathering, compiling,
editing and typing. They are Elmer C. and Thelma
(Chidester) Anderson of Burbank, California. To them
we as a family owe a great debt of gratitude in the
publication of this book.
While completion of this volume is a milestone in the
family history, there is much material still to be
obtained. It is expected that this work will continue
as a regular activity of the Organization.
Robert D. Chidester, President
Chidester Family Organization
HERITAGE
Preface
In January, 192 6, the writers began the work of
compiling a history of the Chidester/Chichester
families in America by visiting and conversing with
aged people, taking notes from their recitals. These
memories were gathered, not so much with a view to
publication, as to preserve for their own children
something that would tell them about the hopes, faiths,
trials and tribulations — the love of families exper-
ienced by their ancestors.
It is time that the recollections of these pion-
eer ancestors were gathered together before the last
of these shall have passed away. Little enough can be
gleaned at the present time. A few years hence nothing
further than has been written can be obtained except
by uncertain tradition.
The material has accummulated year by year, slow-
ly, as only time and means not devoted to raising a
family could be used. Not until we retired were we able
to visit some of the old homes of the Chidester ances-
tors. These old homes were in many sections of the
United States and even as far away as the little ham-
lets of England. Family records were perused and time
yellowed documents examined and copied; some were
micro-filmed. Statements were taken from family members,
This has been a labor of great love and care. To
make this work as correct and reliable as possible, no
pains have been spared in examining, sifting and proof-
reading every item of information; reconciling state —
ments, holding in abeyance those portions that cannot
be substantiated sufficiently. These disconnected and
unproven records are held in file for use at a later
date when additional source material can be found to
unite them with the proper family lines.
This work has also been a labor of great love for our
ancestors. Hundreds of hours have been spent in tramp-
ing cemeteries, searching old, musty libraries and court
houses. It has been impossible to listen to the narra-
tives without feeling a tender veneration, a peculiar
filial regard for stories of the past.
HERITAGE
There is a host of men and women who have aided
the researchers by furnishing answers to queries,
looking up long forgotten documents, by assisting in
searching records of churches, old cemeteries, court
houses and historical societies and providing the
records of their own families. It would be impossible
to name them all To all these we tender the most
grateful acknowledgements for their generous efforts.
Wherever possible they have been given crdit in
the body of the manuscript.
An especial thanks, however, must be given to
Dr. Guy C. Squires, physician and surgeon of Exeter,
Devon, England, for presenting us with the "History
of the English CHICHESTER Family, 1066-1870.)
Gratitude is hereby expressed, also, for the
support, encouragement and contributions that have
been made by the CHIDESTER FAMILY ASSOCIATION OF UTAH.
Without their support and encouragement, a publication
would never have become a realization.

Notes and Explanation of Format
1. Multiple year dates, i.e. 1695/6, occur during the time
when the change was being made from the use of the Julian
calendar which used March 1st as the beginning of the
year, to the Gregorian calendar which is still in use.
In the latter calendar the first of the year is January
1st and there is a leap year. By the first, or Julian
calendar a date in January or February would be recorded
as 1695. The same date in the Gregorian, or modern, cal-
endar would be 1696. To accommodate both calendars,
then, the date is written Jan. 169 5/6. Both dates have
to be given because both calendars were in use at that
time. It occurs during the last of the 17th century
and the first of the 18th century.
2. The book is arranged in generations, beginning with
the first generation in America. The number for a
person, then, is two-fold, the first number being the
nur'i]:iei of hi;^ o" hei ot-reration and the second number
referring to his place in that generation. For example:
James, the first of the line to come to America,
would have the number 1-1, signi fyinr: t^i,-.t ho is
the first person listed in the first generation.
His eldest child, who happens also tn he J.-.nes ,.
will be known by the number 2-1 because he is the
second generation, but the first one listed in that
generation, and so on.
Each person will be identified by his number where-
ever he or she appears in the record. making for
rapid cross-referencing.
3. An asterisk (*) in front of a child's name and number
indicates that he or she will be found in the next gener-
ation as the head of a familv.
THE NAME CHIDESTER 1
Books have been written describing the history of
surnames and their development. So fascinating is this
study that it has become a science. Briefly stated, it
can be said that for many centuries there was no need
for more than one name per person. Adam needed only one
name to identify him. Even Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
needed only one. But by the time that Jesus Christ was
born, society had become so complex that it began to be
necessary to add something to identify the particular
person spoken of. So there was JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA (a
place) and Joseph OF NAZARETH. When Jesus chose his
apostles there were two called who had the name of James.
One, brother of John, shared with his brother the appell-
ation SONS OF THUNDER; the Other James was known as
SON OF ALPHEUS.
The problem continued to multiply as time passed and
by the time of William the Conqueror in the year 1066,
many ways had sprung up for identifying people. As we
have seen, there were place names and Joseph became Joseph
ARIMATHEA. John could be John BROOK because he lived by
a brook. There were also trade names. The village tailor
became William TAYLOR; Benjamin who made barrels became
Benjamin COOPER (meaning barrel maker.) Likewise CARPENTER,
SHOEMAKER, SMITH and many other surnames developed.
Probably the largest and most popular group of sur-
names is known as patronymics - names derived by adding
"son" to the father's given name. So James became James
ALPHEUSSON, or ANDERSON, or JOHNSON, according to the
father's given name.
The same thing is true in countries other than England
and Scandinavia. FITZPATRICK in France and Belgium means
"son of Patrick;" FITZSIMMONS would mean "son of SIMON".
In the Scotch and Irish, the prefix Mc means grandson of;
Mcdonald, the Grandson of Donald. An 0 prefix means "son
of"; 0' BRIAN is the son of Brian. Similarly the suffix
"ian" in the Slav and Armenian states indicates "son of."
Each language and culture has its means of identifying
people by their family relationship.
How does all this refer to or explain the unusual
name of CHIDESTER? There are a number of forms of the
name; in fact at least twenty-five variations of the name
can all be traced back to a common origin. The spelling
has been changed , sometimes by accident and sometimes by
a whim. One man, Ephraim CHIDESTER, changed the spelling
of his name to CHEDESTER so he wouldn't have so much trouble
with the bank confusing his account with "Uncle Ephraim' s"
account. His descendants maintained the same form. Others
2 HERITAGE
thought that it would be easier for people to recognize
and pronounce the name if the "d" was changed to "t";
hence the name CHITISTER or CHITTESTER.
The name CHIDESTER came first of all as a variation
of the early American name CHICHESTER and took this form
from the practice of using scribes for making legal docu-
ments. Many times a hand written "ch" looked more like
a "d" and the next copy would assume the "d" spelling.
Moreover, scribes wrote what they heard. In the same doc-
ument one can find both the CHICHESTER and the CHIDESTER
and CHITESTER spelling of the name for the same person,
or other variations such as CHILESTER, CHISTIFER, CHECK-
CHESTER, etc.

If the original name was CHICHESTER, you might ask,
where did that name come from and what does it mean?
The name CHICHESTER is a prominent one in present day
England. The first CHICHESTER in America came from there,
just when and from exactly where has not been determined,
but he was English, as his name, tradition and circumstance
indicates. He is found in Salem, Massachusetts in 1640.
In England the name is found in the earliest written
records, having been recorded in the "DOMESDAY BOOK." It
was also woven into earlier tapestries.
According to an English historian, the name originat-
ed about the second century B.C. with the Roman occupation
of Britain. A Roman general by the name of Cissa establish-
ed a camp ground under his own name, the Roman term for
camp being "caester" (pronounced Chester.) As the Romans
withdrew from the walled camp the area became a fiefdom
for a feudal lord or land owner and was called "CISSA 'S
CAESTER." It was a valuable possession, holding strategic
importance as well as being surrounded by fertile land.
As the Anglo-Saxon kings who succeeded the Roman occupa-
HERITAGE 3
tion began to unify the country the fiefdom became a
valuable pawn to be awarded to men of valor.
"From DOMESDAY BOOK we learn that ENGELER held of
the king two hides of land (a hide being an English land
measure equalling enough land to support a family, usually
about 120 acres) in the manor of CICESTR' (a place) in
the county of Sussex; and he also held one carucate of
land (about 100 acres) in the same manor in his own right,
as likewise divers lands in Mendon, in the same county,
which he formerly held of King Harold (the Anglo-Saxon
king who was defeated at Hastings by William the Conquer-
or,) and he also held two hides of land of Adelisa, wife
of Radulphus de Thellebroe, in Standune, in the county of
Bedford, and also divers lands of Ernulph, in the county
of Somerset, of all of which he was seised at the time of
the Domesday Survey, A.D. 1080.) (See History of the
CHICHESTER Family, by Sir Alex Palmer Bruce CHICHESTER.
Bart., 1871.)
William the Conqueror bought Engeler's allegiance by
allowing him to keep the land that he had held under the
Anglo-Saxon king.
Engeler's successor to the lands in the manor of
Chichester was Henry DE CICESTR' (Henry of CICESTR', a
place. Pronounce the C's as Ch.) The name by now had
evolved from Cissa's Chester to CICESTR' and was soon to
assume the present day form of CHICHESTER, with CHIDESTER,
CHITTESTER, CHEDISTER being the most common derivatives
of the name.
In America the CHICHESTER name remained rather intact,
in spite of the errors of scribes, until early 1700 when
the brothers Samuel^-H and William^"-'-^ who lived in Conn-
ecticut formally accepted the name of CHIDESTER and contin-
ued with that form. By 1750 David CHIDESTEr6-47 of oan-
bury, Connecticut, was also changing from CHICHESTER to
CHIDESTER. Land documents clearly show the process of
acceptance, as will be shown. These particular families
and their descendants have retained t he latter form consist-
ant ly.
Although there are CHICHESTER families at the present
time, descendants of the same early Amer icans, the part
of the family that elected to use the CHIDESTER form of
the name is by far in the ascendancy. The descendants
of the above named Samuel live mainly in Pennsylvania and
New Jersey; William is the forefather of the illustrious
CHIDESTERS of Ohio; and David is the fore-runner of the
CHIDESTERS of Utah, Idaho and other western states.

COAT OF ARMS
During the twelfth century, between 1100 and 1200 A.D.,
Coats of Arms began to be awarded to Knights of the
Realm to b e a special identification of men of prom-
inence— large land holders, courageous men in battle,
governors. This coat was passed from father to eld-
est son, becoming an emblem of the family. The earliest
CHICHESTER coat of arms was of a simple shield bearing
ermine tails and portraying a knight's helmet in a square
in the upper left hand corner of the shield. This emblem
was to be emblazoned on the owner's uniform, his shield,
and was also used to seal important documents.
In the year 1385, Sir John CHICHESTER, heir of the
family,, married Thomasine RALEIGH and moved the family
seat from Sussex to Devon where he combined the CHICHESTER
inheritance with that of the Raleighs. Since that time the
CHICHESTER arms have been quartered with the RALEIGH
arms, with the RALEIGH taking the ascendancy, until in
later generations , with other quarterings , the original
has become all but lost.
Another important movement in the family line came
during the reign of Elizabeth I when she sent Sir Arthur
CHICHESTER, a descendant of Sir John CHICHESTER and Thoma-
sine RALEIGH, to Ireland to bring order to that rebellious
country. Sir Arthur became Lord BELFAST and founded the
CHICHESTER family in Ireland, having its own coat of arms.
Since these early times other members of the family
have been awarded their own coats of arms and crests so
that there are a number in existence. The problem for
eager Americans is to find which branch of the family
they descend from. About 1702, one Richard CHICHESTER
^ migrated from England bringing his arms and records
with him, preserving his English connection. The descend-
ants of James of Massachusetts, with whom this book is
most concerned, are not so fortunate
Some historians have confused the name and history of
the CHICHESTERS with that of CIRCENCESTER. The two fam-
ilies have been proven to be distinctly separate entities.
Although there is a suggestion of CIRCENCESTERS in the south
of England, the family itself is located in Gloucestershire^
in the northwest, far removed from the CHICHESTERS of
y Sussex and Devon.
Of interest to the family of CHICHESTER-CHIDESTER is
HERITAGE 5
the symbol used by the Anglican Church in CHICHESTER,
England. The base of the lecterns of all English Angli-
can churhces is a large, gilded eagle with folded
wings, indicating strength and superiority. The CHI-
CHESTER cathedral, most of the construction of which
dates from the Norman Conquest with later Gothic style
additions, is one of four cathedrals in all of England
which uses a pelican as its symbol. These four churches
like the pelican symbil better, they say, because the
pelican will tear its own flesh to feed its young if
necessary. They want to be known in this way — to have
it understood that the church will give its all, even
to the point of self-destruction if necessary, for the
benefit of the parishioners.
5 HERITAGE
In the year 1643, at Taunton, Massachussetts , a survey
was made to ascertain how many men were living there who
were able to bear arms. Among those listed was James
CHICHESTER. Just where he came from and the date of his
arrival have never been determined, but it is generally
believed that he came from Devonshire, England. He does
not appear on any ship's lists as a passenger and it is
highly probable that he came on his own or a brother's
ship and then elected to remain in the New Vvoirld. T "i^e
CHICHESTERS have always been noted as seafaring men. Five
years later, in 1648, record was made in Connecticut of
a shipment of grain on "CHICHESTER' vessel." This may
have been James' ship or that of another as will be seen.
Sometime before 1650 James and his family moved
from Taunton, going north to the seacoast town of Salem,
Essex Co., Mass. There on 21 Apr 1650, he and his wife
Mary were baptized in the Salem First Church. According
to Savage's Genealogical Dictionary, three of his children
had already been baptized 21 Feb 1650. They were John,
Mary and Martha. Daughter Mary's death date, 25 May ,
1686, aged 43, indicates that she was seven years of age
at the time of her baptism.
The following year, 27 Feb 1651, the same church
record shows that James CHICHESTER was "removed." Could
he have been lost at sea, perhaps on a fishing expedition?
His family was still in Salem for an older son, James,
was baptized into the Salem First Church 9 Mar 1652, and
a daughter, Elizabeth, was baptized 2 6 Jan 1654.
Son James was an adult at the time of his baptism
for two years later he was a married man and involved in
a land transaction.
The family of James CHICHESTER-^" ■'-, then consisted of
himself, his wife Mary and children:
*2-l James CHICHESTER bp 9 Mar 1652, Salem, Mass; md before
1654 to Eunice PORTER
2-2 John CHICHESTER bp 21 Feb 1650. No family has been ident-
ified for John. However, he evidently became a sea-
faring man and had moved his port of operation to Hunting-
ton Harbor, Long Island, in the late 1660 'i. He appeared
there in a suit brought by Robert PEARSALE (PEARSALL) on
6 May 1668, and was known as Capt, John, "skipper igestre."
By 1674 he was listed as a proprietor in Huntington.

1-2 William CHICHESTER, possibly a brother of James, and
his family were living in Salem, Mass., at the same time.
William was master of the ship HOPEWELL and appears in
the records of Marblehead, Taunton and Salem, Mass.,
from about the year 1641 to 1663, when he removed to
lower Norfolk Co. , Virginia, and became the pilot on
the James river there. His family information is pert-
inent at this point because it is of the same generation
as that of James and it so closely parallels it that it
is difficult to separate the two families.
William was living in Marblehead in 1645 and 1646,
and probably earlier. By 1650, however, his family had
moved to Salem and his children were baptized into the
Salem First Church. The move was probably made so that
the two families would be near each other while the
men were away at sea.
"12-2-1652 , Essex Co., Mass; deed Salem, Alexander FIELD of
Salem hathsold unto William CHICHESTER of Salem his house and
about it and to be made out five acres out of his lott in ye South-
field as by a writing dated l6th 1st mo. 1650. The price paid
for the premises was 10 pounds in commodities and six pounds in
maakerell." (Putnam's Montly Hist. Mag. 1897, Salem, Mass.)
William's wife was Mary CORWITHY, dau of David CORWITHY.
Their ch:

Life at sea was uncertain at best. Sane voyages were of short
duration, others were long and would lead from port to port until
families waiting at hone could becane rather hard pressed. Such was
the case with William's family in 1658, when the Salon tcwn council
found it necessary to vote ccmnodities for the sustenance of Sister
"CHISTER, wife of William CHICHESTER." She was allowed one half b\:ish-
el of Indian com per week. Because of his prolonged absence, William's
son James, then about ten years of age, was apprenticed by his grand-
father, David COIMTTHY, to Francis SKERRY, v^o agreed to send the boy
8 HERITAGE
to school until he could write a legible hand; to give him
a ewe lamb to keep; to give him ten pounds at the end of
his time and two suits of clothes, one for Lord's Day and
one for working days.
In 1662 Mary Corwithy CHICHESTER was ordered by the court
to sell her house and lot to pay the accummulated debts
and in turn was awarded a small lot on which she was comm-
anded to build a house within two years or forfeit the lot.
Some t ime during the next three years William returned
and moved his family to lower Norfolk Co., Virginia. His
will, recorded in Norfolk Co. Wills (Abstract) dated 23 Mar
1687/8, proved 17 May 1698, follows:
. . ."Unto my loving wife Mary — (torn) during her natur-
all life (torn) and after her Decease to son Wm. CHICHESTER,
and (torn) my son James CHICHESTER all that tract of

1-3 Contemporary with the families of James and William
CHICHESTER, and living in Marblehead and Salem, was
Alice CHICHESTER. No clue is given as to her connection
with t he other families. She was evidently a ward of
the various courts and had a son :
2-11 JEREMIAH CHICHESTER
The Salem Court ordered on 20 July 1658, at the time
of her abode in Salem, for the maintenance of Alice and
her child, Salem should pay three-fourths and Marblehead one
fourth of the cost of maintenance. On the 30th of the
month the Selectmen of Salem and Marblehead respectfully
agreed that her son Jeremiah , "now about three months old"
should be apprenticed to Edward HARNET, a tailor, who had
been caring for Alice and Jeremiah. HARNET was planning
to move from the area and was allowed eight pounds to
apprentice the child and take him along, Alice was given
seven pounds for her expenses.
Edward HARNET moved from Salem, Mass., to Huntington,
Long Island. Jieremiah CHICHESTER grew up in Huntington
and was no doubt the Jeremiah CHECHESTER who, with John
HERITAGE 9

in Huntington, L. I. He was also witness with Tho. OKELIE

3-3 Jonathan CHICHESTER, purchased land 31 Jan 1690 in Huntin-
ton, Long Island (Huntington Deeds, v 1 p 67); and was
given land by his father James, 23 July 1692. (See Deeds.)
James and Eunice were married in Salem, Mass., and their
children were undoubtedly born there before the removal to
Huntington, Suffolk Co., Long Island. T he first real
record of the family is recorded as a sale of property to
James by his father-in-law, on 2 October, 1654. The deed
reads :
"Jonathan PORTER, of Salem, Mass., Essex Co., a planter,
hath sold unto James CHICHESTER his dwelling house, with
the land adjoining being about 1 3/4 acres, for and in con-
sideration that the said James shall freely allow and give
meat, drink and lodging unto his wife Eunice PORTER during
her widowhood, in case the said Jonathan shall dye before
her, as by deed dated 2 October 1654." (Essex, Mass.
Deeds, vol VIII p 293.)
A few years later both families sold their property and
removed to Huntington, Long Island for by the year 1662
James CHICHESTER, listing himself as James , son of James of
Taunton and Salem, had become a respected and influential
citizen of Huntington. On 19 Feb 1662/3 he was chosen a
deputy to attend the "Corte of election helld at Harford
(Conn) next may being in the year 1663." At this time
Long Island had elected to be a part of the Connecticut
colony rather than New York, which was at that time under
Dutch rule, hence the sending of delegates to such a polit-
ical convention. This alliance lasted until 1664 when
the Dutch relinquished New York to the English. At that
time the territory came under the New York mandate.
The previous June 6, 1662, James had been appointed as
member of a committee to pass judgement on the desirea-
bility of new arrivals in the community. A law had been
passed that no one could rent or sell to a new arrival
unless the committee gave it approval of the new owner-to-be.
In the same meeting it was also suggested that James
be nominated to keep the "ordinary." He accepted. The
Ordinary was t he inn maintained for the comfort and use
HERITAGE ^.l
of travelers and residents. It was the practice to select
the most prestigious house on a highway for this service,
so it was a distinct honor to be chosen. The family must
be genteel and affable and able to impress the visitors.
During the ensuing thirty years James added to and improv-
ed his home until it was rather an imposing structure
which he named "The Peace and Plenty."
The home served as a roadhouse, inn, or "ordinary" for
many years. It was still in service during the Revolution-
ar y War and was the home of "Widow" CHICHESTER who, nec-
essarily, served the British officers who at the time con-
trolled the island. It was here that the youthful Nathan
HALE collected the information that he passed on to Gen.
George WASHINGTON. It was here, also, that he was appre-
hended, eventually. As late as the year 1968 the house
was still in good repair and was being used as a home,
the old tap room still maintained as it had been since
it was built. On the hitching post in front was a plaque,
placed there by the Huntington Historical Society, announc-
ing its illustrious history.
James was active in committees determining town bound-
aries, organizing courts and all civic functions. Courts
were thought to be necessary so a panel of three judges and
a clerk were selected; with a jury of seven to be called if
and when needed. There were no serious crimes to be prose-
cuted so the early cases consisted mainly in the easing of
neighborhood squabbles. A case in point is a court action
brought in October, 1662:
"Stephen JERVICE^ an attorney in behalf e of James CHICHESTER, plf.
vs The. SCUDDEEj deft., acsion of the case and -of batery. Deft says
that he did his indevor to save y^ pigg from y^ wolff, but knows no
hurt his dog did it; and as for y^ sow, he denys the charge; touch-
ing the batery, striking the boye, says he did strike the boye but it
was for his abusing his daughter. The verdict of the jury is, that
def^ 's dog is not fitt to be cept, but the acsion fails for want of
testimony, but touching the batery, the Jury 's verdict pass forvlT^,
that def^ pay him 10 schillings for striking the boy and the plf^ to
pay 5 shillings for his boy's insevility."
Another case in the same court: "Rachel TURNER sayth, that being
husking at Tho. POWELL'S, James CHICHESTER found a red ear, and then
said he must kiss Bette SCUDDER; Bette sayd she would whip his brick,
and they too scufeling fell by her side; that this deponent and Tho.
SCUDDER being tracing, and hav ing ended his trace, rose up and took
howld of James CHICHESTER and gave him a box on the ear. Robard CRUM-
FIELD says, that being husking at Tho. POWELL'S, James CHICHESTER
found a red eare, and then said he must kiss Bette SCUDDER, and they
12 HERITAGE
too scufling^ Goody SCUDDEE bid him be quite^ and puld him from hev,
and gave him a slap on the side of the heade; the verdict of the jury
is J that James shall paye y^ plf 12 shillings and the cost of y^
oort. "
The miscreant was no doubt James, the son of James^"!
In 1668 James was elected constable of Huntington, and
by 1676 he had begun to be known as James Senior and his
sons were beginning to be land owners. By 1681 he was
deeding land to his sons James, Jonathan and David.

James was a worthy successor to his illustrious father.
On 20 June, 1681, his father deeded four acres of land to
him and the city awarded him a house lot of two acres at
the harbour. Thereafter the Huntington records are replete
with his real estate dealings. One worthy of note for
its portrayal of custom of the times was a sale by the burn-
ing of a candle. As the sale began, a one inch piece of
HERITAGE 15
candle was lit and bids were accepted until the last flicker
of flame , the last bid taking the property:
June the 26th 1672
It was voted and agreed by the major part of the town that the
Hassokey Swamp over against Jonathan ROGERS and joyning James
CHICHESTER Sen^ home lot sh all be sold at a vandue by the burn-
ing of an inch of candle; and so may improve for some public use
for the town as the Constable and Overseers shall see cause. . . .
This day aforesaid^ at the vendue James CHESTER Junr bade the
last and greatest sum which amounted to twenty four pounds eight
schillings. It being doubted by some whether James CHICHESTER
or Robert ARTHUR bid the highest sum it is decided that Rob.
bad twenty four pounds seven schillings. Testified by Jonas
WOOD Jun. who was eye witness; as well as Jonathan SCJJWER,
James SMITH and John ADAMS as ear witnesses^ that James CHICHESTER
Junr bad twenty four pounds eight schillings.
Possession granted to James CHICHESTER Junr.

Alice or Ales, and had ch;

*4-12 William CHICHESTER who md Eunice HOLLISTER
Although David was paying taxes in 1688, having seem-
ingly, reached the state of manhood by that time, he was
still single when he became the executor of his father's
estate in 1698. He may well have been the youngest in the
family. On 14 Nov 1698, his brother James deeded all the
property he had inherited from his father to brother David,
reserving the r ight to use, enjoyment and occupancy of the
property. This was the Peace and Plenty mentioned before.
David sold several parcels of land in 1698 and by 1705,
at least, had moved across the sound to Wallingford, Conn.,
where he purchased property 8 June, 1708, from Daniel
MESSENGER in Wallingford. It would seem that he returned
to Huntington at least briefly, for LLOYD'S account book
shows '.purchases there in 1714-15 which were closed out by
brother James in 1717. David had no doubt returned to Conn-
icut. It may also be that he made those purchases and
had them sent to him in Connecticut. (Wallingford Land

and Elizabeth DAVIS; b in Huntington, N.Y. but moved
to Connecticut before 1722. In Stamford, Conn. 4 May
1722 he md Abigail BISHOP. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. Joseph BISHOP. Abigail was b 10 Mar 1697, dau
of Benjamin BISHOP and Susanna PIERSON. (Susanna was the
dau of Rev. Abraham PIERSON, the first president of Yale
University. )
Daniel and Abigail were admitted to the church in New
Canaan, Conn., 6 Aug 1749, recommended by a Mr. Strong
of Stanwich, Conn. (New Canaan Ch Recs. vol 1) By a
deed from his father, James, Daniel had a contingent
inheritance in Huntington should his brother Ephraim
die without issue.
In 1749, at a cost of 101 pounds, Daniel purchased
a home in New Canaan that had been built three years
before by a Mr. Timothy DELAVAN. There were about forty
five acres of land with it, the house and property being
known as Cherry Brook. The house was built of field
stone and had walls three feet thick. Years later a
clap board siding was added> Tthe original house served
succeeding generations down to the present day.
In 1762 Daniel deeded the home to his son Daniel "for
love," reaerving the south -part of the home for himself
and his wife for their natural lives. Three years later,
after Daniel's death, Daniel Jr. sold the house and land
back to his m«. ther for 100 pounds and sold the northern-
most fifteen c -ires for fifty one pounds ten schillings,
selling this p .reel to his sons Abraham and Dav i(S.
The exact date of Daniel's death is not recorded, but
occurred sometime between 1762 and 1765. In his "Visit-
ations" or 1772, Rev. William DRUMMOND said that Abigail
was a widow. Abigail d 17 Mar 1807, in Ridgefield, Conn.

TULLER (or TULLEN, given name also written Mabel and
Mehitable.) She was b 22 Feb 1698/9 in Simsbury, Conn;
dau of John TULLER and Elizabeth CHASE.
An adventurous young man, Samuel was evidently attract-
ed to the prospering copper mines of Simsbury, Conn.,
where he met and married his wife. By the year 1722,
he had enough capitol to buy property in nearby Water-
bury, Hartford Co.
On 30 Sept 1726, he and his brother William jointly
sold land, Samuel listing himself as "of Waterbury" and
William as "of Wallingford, New Haven, Conn.," and both
men signing their names as "CHIDESTER." Samuel also
bought land of John HOUGH, 31st Jan 1732/3, signing this
deed also as "CHIDESTER."
In 1735, Mabel appeared in court to receive an inherit-
ance from her father's estate. Sometime after this date
the CHIDESTER family moved to Roxbury, Morris Co., New
Jersey.
There is no apparent record of Samuel's death, but
Mabel (Mahabel TULLER) CHIDESTER, widow, died there 27
Mar, 1761; her son Samuel was the executor of her estate.

Eunice was md (1) 23 Dec 1714, to Jonathan SEYMOUR and

After Jonathan's death Eunice, on 5 Oct 1725, was granted
guardianship of the children, but soon after her marriage
to William CHIDESTER, the brothers and sisters of Jon-
at han SEYMOUR petitioned the court to appoint new guard-
ianships, saying that "said Eunice" was now married to
one "William CHITESTER, a poor, shiftless man, and the
children are in a suffering condition." Accordingly,
three of the children were placed with the Robert BOOTH

When the complete story of William CHIDESTER is known
it is difficult to understand the bitterness and jealousy
with which the Seymours viewed him at the t ime of his
marriage. True, he was young to undertake such a heroic
task as the raising of such a large, made-to-order family.
And he had been rather itinerant, but he was not without
assets.
As early as 2 Nov 1723, he sold property in Walling-
ford, listing himself as "of Farmington." In 1726 he and
his brother, Samuel, sold property jointly in Waterbury.
KLs interests, up to this time, had been rather scatter-
ed, but he was a man of property .
William and Eunice remained in Wallingford until some
time after 1734, when they moved to Cornwall, Litchfield
Co. Land transactions there were made in 1740 and 1742.
William also owned and operated the "CHICHESTER" ferry
near Cornwall Bridge, across the Hoosatonic river. The
fares he could charge were regulated by law and were:
for man, horse and load one pence
footman half penny
led horse three farthings
ox or other neat kine one pence
sheep, swine or goats one farthing.
By 1751, the fare, by law, was increased to:
each man, horse and load three pence
22 HERITAGE
ox, cow or horse three pence
single person, sheep or swine half pence
In 1742 William sold a substantial piece of property in
Cornwall to Josiah ROBINSON for two hundred pounds..
William was quite a financier and was rather a wealthy man
by the time he was 50 years of age.
He was, however, first and foremost, a pioneer with
new frontiers always beckoning. In 1753 he sold his Corn-
wall holdings to his son William for 2,500 pounds "old tenor
money" and left Cornwall. He and several other Connect-
icut men had learned of a new land opening up. It was in
the mountainous northwest corner of Massachusetts — a front-
ier just west of Fort Massachusetts and directly on the
firing line of the French and Indian troubles.
William bought two lots in what was called West Hoosic
(the name is spelled in the records variously as Hoosic,
Hoosac, and Hoosick.) It lay on the river bank west of the
Fort, a vulnerable spot indeed, for it was at the river
crossing that separated Massachusetts from the wilds reach-
ing up into Canada. The developer presumed that the new
settlers would be protected by the soldiers at the Fort,
but such was not to be the case. The Massachusetts sold-
iers considered the Connecticut people, to whom the land
had been sold, to be interlopers. There was a skirmish
with the Indians and trouble all along the line. Some
Dutch settlers a ways away, and others were given sanctuary
at the Fort, but the people from West Hoosic were refused
ammunition, food and shelter. T hey were given to under-
stand that they were on their own.
As a result, in Oct. 1754, William drew up a petition
for th e building and maintenance of a fq^t that would pro-
tect the community and sent it to the provincial govern-
ment in Boston. No action was taken. The feud between the
Fort and the settlement became more intense and the Indian
troubles more bothersome.
January 1, 1756, William drew up another petition, ask-
ing that he be allowed to build a blockhouse for the pro-
tection of t he community. He carried it himself, travel-
ing Indian style, on foot and stealthily, to avoid attract-
ing attention from hostile forces. He presented his peti-
tion and argued for it until he was able to return with a
commission of Sergeant and an agreement that if he and his
companions would donate the land and erect a blockhouse by
the first of March it would be recognized and a detachment
of ten soldiers would be assigned to help guard it. The
clinching argument had been that, situated as it was, in
the mountain draw at the river crossing, it was a much more
ideal place for defense of the province than the original
fort was.
HERITAGE 23
On his return, William could only find three other men
who were willing to undertake such a task. In the dead
of winter and with a frenzied determination, William and
his three companions completed the task i n the allotted
time, using William's lot #6 and the next one to it, #8,
which was donated to him by Capt. Williams, the originator
of the town project. The town now bears the name Williams-
town in honor of this founder.
All went well with the CHIDESTER family for a time.
Tensions between the fort and the people of the blockhouse
eased. That is, until 11 July 1756. All had been fairly
quiet on the front. Then cattle began disappearing. Will-
iam and his son James, with Capt. CHAP IN, went out to hunt
for some missing cows. They were ambushed by Indians and
killed. William and his son died instantly, but Capt.
CHAP IN was just wounded. The Indians dragged him away,
tortured and scalped him. It was two days later before
men could be sent from the fort to retrieve and bu ry the
bodies.
Today, the site of William's blockhouse is a spacious
field alongside the Williamsburg College and is used as a
park. Near the road is a huge granite boulder bearing a
plaque honoring William who pioneered there, his son James
and Capt. Chapin who died with him,

As a result of this service, after having made requests
and being issued various warants, Jeremiah was awarded
land in Charlotte County, adjoining the north bounds of
the township of Hyde. It may have been that his removal
to the mainland accounted for the omission in his father's
will. He had signed a release and disclaimer to Queen's
Village, 27 Oct 1735.

Like his forbears, Eliphalet CHICHESTER , known as "The
Elder," was a man of high principle who suited his actions
to his words. A fisherman by trade, it was probably when
he had to post a five hundred pound bond in order to obtain
a license to marry Mary PINE that he began to take note of
laws that he would later rebel against. The bond stated
that he was :
. " . . firmly bound unto our Sovereign Lord George - by
the Grace of God, of Great Britain - Ireland, King,
Defender of the faith &c in the sum of Five Hundred
Pounds, current money of the Province of New York, is to
be paid to his Majesty or his Heirs and Successors; For
the which payment well and tr^iLy to be made, and done, We
do bind Ourselves, and each of us, our and each of our
Heirs, Executors, and Administratories, and ev ery of
them firmly by these Presents. Sealed with our Seale,
Dated the 7th Day of September in tiie year of his said
Majesty's Reign, Anoque Domini 1758.
THE CONDITION OF THIS SALE IS SUCH:
That whereas the above bounded Eliphalet CHICHESTER
hath obtained a License of Marriage for himself of the
one party and Mary PINE of Suffolk County, Spinster, of
the other party. Now if it shall not appear hereafter
that they or either of them the said Eliphalet CHICHESTER
and Mary PINE have any lawful Let or Impediment of
Pre-contract, Affinity, or Consanguinity to hinder their
being joined in the Holy bonds of Matrimony, and after-
HERITAGE 27
wards their living together as Man and Wife, then this
Obligation to be void and of none respect, or else to
stand, remain, abide, and be in full force and Virtue.
Signed: Eliphalet CHICHESTER
Martin PENDERGRAST
After such a binding contract no one could afford to
change one's mind, have an accident or let anything inter-
fere. Fortunately Eliphalet and Mary were married four
days later.
It was just such exhorbitant demands as this that light-
ed the freedom fires. This particular one accounts for
the absence of confirmation of many marriages, especially
in the colonies of Virginia, New Jersey and New York where
magistrates and governors were adamant in enforcing such
monetary demands ,
Conditions did not improve; they only got more so, until
in 1775, Eliphalet was one of the first signers of the
Association Against England, which was a pledge to refuse
any assistance to the authority of the King of England. He,
Eliphalet, was a Minute Man and ready to back his words
with action. A regiment was raised in Long Island to oppose
the British authority. Eliphalet was a private in Capt.
John WICK'S Company, Col. Josiah SMITH'S Regt. , Suffolk Co.,
Militia.
Opposition to Great Britain was so strong in Huntington,
that after the British won the Battle of Brooklyn, a detach-
ment of soldiers was stationed at Huntington to control the
rebellious population.
Huntington Harbour offered a convenient spring board to
the continent. Connecticut and Massachusetts, hotbeds of
revolutionaries, lay just across the Sound, making Long
Island a strategic point of operation for t he British. The
town was subjected to the most ruthless treatment. Prop-
erty was confiscated, cattle and provisions seized, and
the people left in an impoverished condition. Those that
remained were forced to sign an Oath of Loyalty, which in-
cluded a declaration that they had surrendered all arms to
the British.
Many men escaped to Connecticut to join the revolutionary
forces. Some were able to take their families, Eliphalet
was one of them. Having earned the reputation with the
British of being "the worst rebel of the lot," he was able
to escape detection and to evacuate his family to Strat-
ford, Connecticut, in 1776. He had been active, and would
continue to be, in underground activities, smuggling arms
and ammunition across the Sound to the Continental Army,
carrying them at night in small boats. (See "Refugees of
2 8 HERITAGE
1776 From Long Island," by F . G, Mather)
It was at this time and under these circumstances that
the "Peace and Plenty" was being used by the British as
an "Ordinary" and the CHICHESTERS were forced to entertain
them. However, this very fact gave Eliphalet the power
to serve the revolutionary movement so successfully. His
trade of fisherman, knowing all the coves and island accesses
so well, provided the means of delivery of messages, mat-
erials and refugees. He was indeed a patriot. No wonder
the British hated and feared him!
In the "Public Records of the State of New York,"
vol 3 p 220, is recorded:
At a meeting of the Governor and Council of Safety
at Hartford, the 2nd Day of November 1780, Upon the Mem-
orial of Margery SQUIER, Philon BEARDSLEY, and a woman
whose name is CHITESTER, all of Stratford, praying for
liberty to go under a flag to Long Island where their
husbands are, and to carry with them such of their chil-
dren as shall be thought proper; Resolved that General
STILLMAN be directed and authorized to grant a flag to
carry over to Long Island the memorialists and their chi-
ldren, as prayed for, at their own expense.
Mth this, the CHICHESTERS were back home in Huntington,

Abraham was mentioned in his Uncle David BISHOP'S will
14 Aug 1781, in Huntington, Long Island. (Vol 10, N.Y.
Hist Soc Collection, p 160) He seems to have been very
familiar with Huntington, the country and the families
there, although he spent his life in Connecticut. A prom-
inent doctor, he was known throughout the Connecticut
countryside, serving the St amford to New Canaan area.
He was chosen ruling Elder of the New Canaan Church 2
Aug 1754, and was sent as a delegate to the Presbytery at
Brookhaven, Suffolk, Long Island.
He and his three eldest sons, Abraham, David and Nathan,
served in the Revolution at the Battle of Ridgefield. One
of the boys enlisted four different times. During the
battle of Ridgefield, the youngest son, Stephen, ae 6,
and his mother Jerusha had to hide in caves for safety.
Abraham bought part of Cherry Brook, his father's home
place, and established a fine home which his son Nathaniel
succeeded to. His son David became the owner of the orig-
inal David CHICHESTER home at Cherry Brook. T he Rev. Wra.
DRUMMOND reported visiting in this home on Christmas Eve,
1772, and meeting Abraham, David and their families there.

Andrew CHIDESTER was a weaver for a store in East Jersey
from 1735 to 1746. The area is now known as Boundbrook,
Somerset, N.J; He appears in the account books of Jacob
JANEWAY, to wit:
9 Oct 1747, Adam RHEMER's wife Katherine paid a debt
to Susannah CHIDESTER
1749/50 Andrew bought articles from Joseph MUNDAY
(N.J. Archiv es v 30)
Rough times hit the family in 1771 for Andrew was impris-
oned for debt. A New Jersey newspaper reported:
"Pursuant to an order of the inferior court of common
pleas held at Morristown in and for the County of
Morris, Notice is hereby given to the respective
creditors of William MOCKERIDGE, William THROCKMORTON
and Andrew CHIDESTER, Insolvent Debtors now confined
for debt in the Gaol of the County of Morris; that
the said Creditors appear before Jacob FORD and Samuel
TUTHILL, Esquires, two of the Judges of the said court
on Wednesday the third day of February (1772) next at
two o'clock in the afternoon at the courthouse in
Morristown aforesaid, to show cause, if any they have,
why the said prisoners should not be discharged from
their imprisonment agreeable to the directions of a
late act of the General Council and General Assembly
of the providence of New Jersey, entitled. An Act
HERITAGE 33
For The Relief of Insolvent Debtors." (New Jer-
sey Archives, 1st series, V28 p 371)
The most coiranon cause of court action in New Jersey at
this time was debt — the provincial governor really riding
that hobby horse. It was no doubt to avoid such string-
ent action that Moses decided to go back to Connecticut
where life was freer and times not so hard.

father's death in 1766. Elisha charged the estate for
Mary's care, 4 pounds, 10 schillings in comparison to one
pound ten for Jonathan for the same period. Inasmuch as
t here is no further record of Mary it is possible that
she died and the extra charge was for those expenses.
William CHIDESTER ~ took over his father's holdings
in Cornwall, Connecticut, in 1754, when William Sr. left
to go to Fort Hoosic (now Williamstown,) Mass. He seems
to have remained in Cornwall until his father's untimely
death just two years later. William then made arrangements
for the care of the property and, with his young wife
Esther, went to Williamstown to care for his father's
affairs there and to take care of his mother. Just ten
HERITAGE 35
years later he was to lose his own life in a skirmish with
the Indians. It happened in this manner:
There had been trouble with the Indians as long as the
French came down from Canada to stir the natives up — the
action known as the French and Indian War — until 1763 when
the French withdrew their action against the English sett-
lers and life on the frontier became a little easier.
Almost immediately the pioneering blood of the English
settlers began to stir anew and the adventurous among them
began to look for new frontiers. Word got around that the
valleys of the Susquehanna and Delaware rivers in Pennsyl-
vania were very fertile and free for the taking.
Nathaniel CARTER, William CHIDESTER's brother-in-law ,
with several other families went there to settle. They
staked out their claims, planted their crops and began
trapping; built their cabins and seemed to be fairly free
of molestation from the Indians, although they main-
tained a watchful sentry all the while.
Late one September afternoon while Mr. CARTER and his
oldest son and the other men of the settlement were busy
building a cabin further in the woods, Mrs. CARTER and
her daughter Elizabeth were gathering corn for supper.
The sentry, no doubt feeling secure, left his post and went
a few rods from the house to tend to some traps and was out
of sight of the buildings.
Elizabeth happened to glance up from her work in time to
see war-painted Indians come out of the woods. She called
out to her mother, but too late to save her. The Indians
buried a tomahawk in the mother's head and then took Eliz-
abeth with them to the cabin. The other women and child-
ren of the settlement were in the building. One woman and
a sixteen year old girl were sick. T he Indians tomahawked
them, then picked the CARTER baby up and dashed its head
against the wall. The other woman, Mrs. DIXON, the three
CARTER children, Elizabeth, Sarah and Nathaniel, and three
children of the other family were taken prisoner.
Upon hearing the cries of the women, the sentry came
running but could only get one shot off before he was killed,
The Indians set fire to the cabin and other buildings and
then travelled for three days before stopping. After they
made camp, a war party of about 100 braves was dispatched
back to the settlement to see what else they could do and
to forestall pursuit.
In the meantime, when Mr. CARTER and companions return-
ed home and found the damage, they set about making up a
posse to follow t he Indians and try to recapture the host-
ages. It is not known how far reaching the alarm was nor
how it was that William CHIDESTER became a member of the
part y. Most likely there was a second attempt to recover

the captives and to punish the miscreants, for Elizabeth
CARTER reported later that it was about five or six days
after their capture that the war party returned and dangl-
ing from their belts were the scalps of Mr. CARTER and Mr.
DIXON. Imagine the grief and despair of the prisoners when
they saw that!
It was the following July, 1766, that William CHIDESTER
was reported dead in the pursuit somewhere in the vicinity
of where Wilkes Barre, Pa., is now situated. William must
have been gone on this mission all winter and have been
given up for dead by his family and friends long before he
was actually reported killed.
Eventually, the band of Indians arrived at Niagara
and there, after being persuaded by British officials
under the leadership of Sir William JOHNSON, the children
were ransomed — all, that is, except for Naithaniel CARTER,
the boy.
Somehow Nathaniel had attracted the love of the Indians
and became their favorite. He enjoyed their sports and
the attention he received and when he was given the chance
t o return to his people the Indians refused to let him
go and he, himself, elected to remain with them. He grew
up as an Indian, married and had a family, but kept with
him the family bible which somehow had been taken along.
He read from it, taught his children to read and became
an influential member of the tribe, sitting in their coun-
cils and acting for t hem in conferences with the govern-
ment. He ended his life on the reservation in Oklahoma
with his Indian family. (Historical Sketches, J.M. Edwards,
1884; Early Migrations to the Middle West and Massacres
on the Frontier, Thos. G. Carter, Pres. S. Dakota Sons
of American Revolution.)
The next month after William's death was reported, his
widow, Esther, appeared in probate court as Esther HIGGINS,
wife of Elisha HIGGINS, to petition for the guardianship
of her three children.
Elisha had been a soldier stationed at Fort Massachu-
setts and later at Fort Hoosic for a number of years and
had acquired property there. He appeared as a signer of
William CHIDESTER Sr.'s petition for the building of a
blockhouse in West Hoosic. He had evidently been married,
inasmuch as he brought two children to this new union:
Josiah HIGGINS b 2 June 1762
Hannah HIGGINS b ca 1765
With his marriage to Esther CARTER CHIDESTER, Elisha took
over the administration of the CHIDESTER estate. By the
end of probate the property was all used up. In 1769 the
two original CHIDESTER lots, #6 and #24, were sold by the
state to the SEELYE b rothers.
Very soon after guardianship was granted to Esther and
HERITAGE 37

Elisha, young William CHIDESTER was sent to Cornwall,
Litchfield, Conn., to live with his uncle, Hezekiah CARTER,
who had a mill at the "Bridge" close to where the first
William CHIDESTER had operated a ferry. Here young William
was no doubt regaled with stories about his grandfather
William, for he developed a deep respect for him. Later
he would be the descendant who would sign a quit claim
deed for Cornwall property which "formerly belonged to
my Honor Grandfather, William CHIDESTER." He received
&1.68 for the deed (Apr 1802.) This same William, for a
sum of $40.00 paid to him by Ephraim and Reuben SEELYE,
13 Nov 1799, signed a quit claim deed to clear the title
of the two lots, #6 and #24, that his grandfather had pion-
eered in Williamstown, Mass.
Elisha HIGGINS and Esther Carter CHIDESTER had ch :
(1) Elisha HIGGINS b ca 1767, Williamstown; d 30 Aug 1818
probably at Willsborough, Essex, N.Y.
(2) Isaac HIGGINS b Williamstown; d 28 Sept 1818; md in
1784 to Asenath CLARK (dates and name of wife given by a
descendant, Mrs. Florence SOUTHWORTH, Saginaw, Mich.)
(3) Mary or Lovila HIGGINS who md Thomas ADAMS.
Elisha HIGGINS served in the Revolution, 1775, enlisting
from Williamstown. By 1781 he was moving his family to
Vermont where they staid briefly, moving from there to
Willsborough, Essex, N.Y. , where Esther d 7 May 1778 and
Elisha d 23 Mar 1801.

5-33 David CHITTESTER, one of the many enigmas of the
early CHICHESTER-CHIDESTER puzzle, was "of Farmington
Hartford, Conn."
"David CHITTESTER and Jemimah HOUGH Boath of Farmington were
Joyned together in marriage ye 2lst Day of August An^ Dom 1723. "
(film #1680 VI p 60 IDS Gen Lib, Salt Lake City, Ut.)
Where David came from, his parentage or other salient
facts have not been found. However, 24 May 1725, Jona-
than HOUGH deeded to David, his son-in-law, part of his
own home place, reserving part for his (Jonathan's) son
John. The same Jonathan, on 23 May 1732, deeded land to
his beloved son Benjamin, mentions his son Zephaniah
and his son-in-law David CHITTESTER.
3 8 HERITAGE
David, in turn, sold land to James LEWIS 4 Jan 1784.
On 30 Jan 1734/5 Jonathan HOUGH deeded more land to his
son-in-law, David CHITTESTER. On Mar 12, 1734/5, David
sold property to John HOUGH, his brother-in-law. (See
film #1480F, New Fairfield Land Recs pp 370-376, SLC)
7 May 1783, David CHITTESTER of New Fairfield, sold
land "being part of ye farm which Jonathan HOUGH took
up." (Fairfield, Conn., Deeds, pt 3 p 158-9)
The home place of this David CHICHESTER (CHITTESTER
or CHIDESTER) which he obtained from his father-in-law
Jonathan HOUGH, was so situated that it lay on the south
border of New Fairfield, touching and partially belong-
ing to the touwnship and town of Danbury, The owner
of the property was listed variously as "of New Fair-
field" and "of Danbury." It is entirely possible that
this last transaction in the name of David CHITTESTER,
occuring as it did sixty years after the marriage date
of David CHITTESTER and Jemimah HOUGH, could very well
have been made by a son David, although no record of a
family has been found. (See next generation, David°~

Dr. Abraham CHICHESTER Jr. was so widely known and
respected that his death was reported in the "Connecti-

21 Oct. 1823; the "Danbury Times" of 25 Oct 1823; and
the "Hartford Courant" of 28 Oct 1823.
Abraham no doubt trained under his father, the first
Dr. Abraham, as well as in the school at Norwalk. His
son, Abraham, studied medicine and hoped to continue the
medical tradition but died before he had a chance to do
much about it.
In his youth Abraham served with his father and broth-
ers in the Continental Army, Revolutionary War, notably
in the Battle of Ridgefield. After he became a doctor
he established his practice in Wilton, Conn. , near Nor-
walk where he had trained.

David CHICHESTER, baptised into the church in New
Canaan in his infancy, was admitted to full communion
4 Jan 1785 (New Canaan Ch Rec vol 1 p 62) As a young
man he enlisted in the Continental Army with his father
and brothers and fought in t he Battle of Ridgefield.
He enlisted in Capt. Reuben Scofield's company under Col,
John MEAD four separate times: 1 Mar 1779; 1 Mar 1780;
1 Mar 1781? 1 Mar 1782, serving 9 months each time.
46 HERITAGE
In all his service, he came nearest being wounded at
Ridgefield when a ball tore through his clothes.
In 1838 when his widow applied for a pension, his
clothes, showing the bullet hole, were still in the
possession of the family. During the 1870 enlistment
he was stationed in Norwalk to guard that port from
enemy invasion.
Before the death of his father. Dr. Abraham CHICHESTER,
David became the owner of Cherry Brook, the home owned
first by his grandfather Daniel. He was not permitted
to enjoy it too long, though, for death came to him
at the early age of forty six. His family continued
to live there, however, and the estate eventually came
into the possession of his youngest child, Mary Ann
Chichester LOCKWOOD, who in turn made a home for her
mother, Mary Nichols CHICHESTER and her unmarried
sister, Polly.
On July 7, 183 8, an act was passed in congress grant-
ing pensions to the widows of Revolutionary war vet-
erans. Mary, aged 78, applied and was granted a pen-
sion of $80.00 per year. David's friends and military
companions testified concerning his service. Alanson
and Polly, children of David and Mary, testified of
the long widowhood of their mother and a certified
record of the marriage was filed. On 4 Sept 1839, she

When Cherry Brook was being repaired in 1933, a small
tattered, black book was found in the attic. It prov-
ed to be a record book that had been kept by Carlisle
(Charles) LOCKWOOD when he was clerk of the school board,
1825-1848. He had been a most efficient clerk for
twenty three years and had recorded every decision made
and each penny spent for and by the school.
The Cherry Brook home remained in the possession of
the CHICHESTER-LOCKWOOD descendants until 1871 when it
was sold.

Nathan CHICHESTER , with his father Abraham and
brothers Abraham and David, spent the years of his youth
supporting the war of Rebellion. In his application
for a pension in 1832, he stated that he belonged to
the Connecticut Militia as early as 1775 and was called
to duty intermittently until 1780, serving anywhere
from a day or week to a month each time. At one time
he substituted for his brother David for a month and a
half when David was unable to serve. He was in the
Battle of Ridgefield "when the town of Danbury was burn-
ed" and was lying next to Lieutenant DAVENPORT when
that officer was killed. His last assignment was with
Capt, Reuben SCOFIELD's Co., and that worthy gentleman,
(in his 90th year) bore witness to the fact. A certi-
ficate of pension was awarded to Nathan 31 Mar 1834 —
the amount: $36.21 per annum. In Sept of that year he
received $108.63 back pay, plus $18.10 for the current
year, making a total of $126.73. The pension act had
been passed 7 June 1832.
After Nathan's death, Theodosia was awarded his pen-
sion as his widow, under the act of 7 July 1838,
Nathan and Theodosia lived and raised their children
in New Canaan, owning and farming much of the land of
the original CHICHESTER estates in New Canaan, living
in the home place that his father, Dr. Abraham, had built.

William CHIDESTER, orphaned at an early age by an
Indian massacre, grew to be one of the stalwart men of
his time. He had the sad duty of straightening out the
affairs of his father and grandfather, both of whom
lost their lives in Indian actions. It made him a ser-
ious, dedicated man. At the age of 20 he entered the
service of his country, being first drafted as a mil-
itiaman under Samael CANFIELD of New Milford, Conn.,
in the War of the Revolution.
He then enlisted in the company of Capt. Theo. WOOD-
BRIDGE, Second Conn. Line, under command of Col. Heman
SWIFT, in which company he served four years. He part -
icipated in the battles of Brandywine and Monmouth.
During the years of his war service, he married Chloe
PECK and had a son, Alborn . Both Chloe and the baby
died before he was discharged. After his discharge
he returned to Cornwall and later married Martha DEAN.
They started housekeeping near Cornwall Bridge where
William followed the trade of tailor for three years.
He then bought a nearby farm where he lived until 1802
when he exchanged it for land in Canfield, Ohio, the
place being named for his former militia commander.
The site was in what was then known as New Connecticut
in the Northwest Territory, later known as the Western
Reserve.
Until his removal to the new territory, William had
remained active in the militia. In the Public Records
of Connecticut, vol 8 p 114, is recorded: "The assemb-
ly do establish William CHIDESTER to be Captain of a
Company of Light Infantry in the 35th Regiment in this.
State." Dated 10 Oct 1793.
"William, with his family, left Cornwall 27 Apr 1802,
arrived at his destination, Canfield, Ohio, 2 June 1802.
His large family and household good and store were con-
veyed in two wagons, one drawn by a team of horses, the
other by oxen with a led cow. His route was up the Hud-
son to Newburg, where he crossed the river in a pirogue,
at one load. Thence he proceeded to Easton on the Dela-
ware, which was crost in a flat-boat, in two loads,
thence by a then lonesome and dangerous road, over the
Allegheny mountains to Fort Pitt, crossing the Monong-
ahela here, they journeyed down the south bank, over
HERITAGE 51
a mere trail in the hills to Beavertown. They forded
the Ohio about a mile and a half below, thence reached
Canfield, Ohio, in two and a half days. He selected
a plot No. 15, first division in the woods. The next
house west being then 15 miles distant. Three years
afterward he moved to plot number 18 in t he third div-
ision, where he lived, and in 1811 built a frame house
for his son Royal Canfield, t he first white child born
in the settlement. After t he admission of Ohio in
1803, he was elected justice of the peace, which off-
ice he held until his death Feb 26, 1813. He also
served as township trustee and commissioner of Trumbull
Co." (Nelson^s Biographical Dictionary, Erie Co., Pa.,
1796.)
His wife, Martha, applied in 1838 for a pension. She
was granted $80.00 per year and was given, in Sept. of
that year, $240.00 back pay.
Thus, William, the pioneer son of pioneers, was instru-
mental in founding the illustrious CHIDESTER family of
Ohio.

sion papers; William^s will dated 23 Feb 1813; Litch-

6-47 David CHICHESTER or CHIDESTER, was of Danbury, ir-
field, Connecticut during and before the Revolutionary
period. Records of that time and place were casualties
of the war. During the Battle of Ridgefield in 1777,
in which so many of the CHICHESTERS of Connecticut
were involved, the residents of Danbury were forced to
flee their homes. The entire area was pillaged and
burned by the British. Town, church and family records
perished. The only documents concerning the town and its
inhabitants to survive were land records that were fil-
ed, fortunately, in other places. From these sources
many salient facts emerge, but no clues as to David's
parentage have been found.
It is possible that he could be the son of Samuel
CHICHESTER-CHIDESTEr4-11 who lived in Danbury for some
time. Samuel had several children but only the names
of the two born before the move to Danbury are know^^23
This David could also have been the son of^£avid
and Jemimah HOUGH, which seems more^JJLkely . As has
been se"en7~David and Jemimah owned land that lay in
Fairfield Co., in the townships of New Fairfield and
Danbury, which joined each other. Both this older Dav-
id and the Dav id with whom we are now concerned, are

listed as being alternately from New Fairfield and
from Danbury in their land transactions, according to
which seemed most appropriate. There are other poss-
ibilities but no way has appeared to prove either one.
*■ . Certain it is that David lived and married in Dan-
\^ r\ bury. Family tradition says that he was a doctor and
V y served in the Revolution. No official record proves
If j it, but, just after the war, two of his children,
k ( listed as the children of "Dr. CHIDESTER," were bapt-
ised in Weston, Fairfield, Conn. This was the nearby
area where Dr. Abraham CHICHESTER lived and practised
but Abraham had no children by the names of Hannah and
Rebecca. Birth records are so complete in the
Weston-Stamford area, that it would seem that the
two children were born elsewhere. It can be assumed
that David moved his family to Weston to the care of
relatives during the destruction and rebuilding of
the town of Danbury.
On 15 March, 1770, David CHICHESTER and his wife
Hannah, of Danbury, Fairfield, Conn., sold to Thaddeus
WARING a parcel of land in Norwalk, Conn., that Hannah
had inherited from her father, John WARING. Thaddeus
was her brother. ( Grantor Deeds, Norwalk, Fairfield

According to these documents we know that David was
an adult by the year 1770? that sometime before 15
Mar 1770 he married Hannah WARING, the dau of John
WARING and Katherine TUTTLE, natives of Norwalk, Fair-
field, Conn. There were no doubt children born dur-
ing the 1770 's but no record of them has been found,
althoug a David Jr. went with the family later to
New York, The known children are;
7-55 Rebecca CHIDESTER b- 12 Dec 1779, Weston, Fairfield,
Conn; md probably in Pompey, Onondaga, N.Y. to Phebe
or Pa ley HALE
7-56 Hannah CHIDESTER bp 2 Sept 1781, Weston, Conn; md
probably in Pompey, N.Y. William OLDEN or OLDREN.
Hannah must have died soon after the baptism of her
last daughter , for all land transactions from then
on concerning the property that had been held jointly
by the couple was sold by David with no mention of his
wife.
On 27 Aug 1782, Rev, Joseph PECK released and quit
claimed property to "David CHIDESTER and Mary his wife,"
of Norfield. (Deeds, Danbury, Conn V 2 p 86.) This
particular bit of property had been willed to Mary
PECK (now the second wife of David CHIDESTER by her
maternal grandmother, Elizabeth Starr CHURCH, 17 Apr
1778. At that time Mary was a minor and the property
was given to her father to care for. By 1782 she had
either reached her majority or marriage had given her
adult status.
The following month, 9 Sept 1782, "David CHIDESTER
and Mary his wife, both of Fairfield, Conn" sold this
property to Joseph WILDMAN (Register of Deeds vol 1
P 182)
Sometime before Aug. 1787, the Chidester family left
Connecticut, moving first to Stillwater, Saratoga, N.Y.
Their next move, before 1799, was to Cazenovia, Madi-
son Co. , N.Y, , living in that township until after the
1800 census was taken which showed the family with 2
males 16-2 6; 1 male 4 5+, one female under 10, 1 female
10-16 and one female 45+.
The picture had changed a little by the year 1810
when another census was taken. Boundaries had shifted
and although t he family had not necessarily moved,
they were now in Pompey, Onondaga, N.Y, and they had
2 males 10-16; 1 male 26-45; one female under 10; one
54 HERITAGE
one female 16-26; 1 female 26-45 and one female 45+.
David must have died about that time or soon after,
for he is not heard of again. His wife, Mary, survived
a number of years. In 1830 she appears in the Wood-
stock Baptist Church, Cazenovia, New York, as having A
been dismissed, whether by death or removal to another ■
parish is not clear. f

Oliver was a seaman and ship's captain for the New York
and South Carolina Steamship Company. His last command was
of the SS Tennessee which left Charleston 28 June, 1870,
with a cargo of cotton, resin, and vegetables. There were
also 53 passengers. A few miles out at sea a fire broke
out and when it proved to be out of control, Capt. Chich-
ester ordered the ship turned to land, which happened to
be Little River, just south of Cape Fear. He and crew work-
ed untiringly to save the passengers so that no lives were
lost, but the ship and cargo were doomed. Later, all were
picked up by a passing steamer. In the rescue and fire
fighting activities Capt. Oliver had ruptured a blood vess-

home for the trip, but he returned home with this new
complication thinking that some time at home would repair
all ills. He was unable' to recover, however, and died
shortly after his return. He was well-loved and respect-

In 1833-34, settlers in Allegan Co., took their patents
from Andrew Jackson and later from Martin Van Buren. Mich-
igan represented the lure of the rich and free west — the
moving on of the frontier.
In June 1834, Abijah CHICHESTER and Oka TOWNE ran a
raft of 30,000 feet of lumber from Pine Creek to the mouth
of the Kalamazoo river where a saw mill had been erected.
It was the first lumber ever floated down that river.
They made the run in two days , stopping overnight with
BUSHONG, the Indian trader.
The Allegan Co., settlers found the Indians friendly
and did not have the frontier problems the family had ex-
perienced in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania earlier.

the family living in Buffalo, Erie, N.Y. , where they seem

John Peck CHIDESTER, like his father, was a doctor,
probably working with and learning the profession from
his father and his close relative Dr. Abraham CHICHEST-
ER. He no doubt attended and trained in the school in
Norwalk, Conn., although no record has been found to
prove the medical training of either of the Chichester-
Chidester doctors. Until fairly recently in eastern
states men "read" with a practicing physician, much as
lawyers "read" and learned law by working in a law office.
John seems to have moved with the family through the
various towns of Fairfield Co., Conn, and New York to
Pompey, Onondaga, N.Y. It was in near-by Vienna, N.Y. ,
(about 20 miles distant) that he met and married spright-
ly, young Mary Ann (Polly) GIFFORD whose family also had
originated in Connecticut and had been drawn into the
western migratory pattern.
At the time of John's death Mary Ann heart-brokenly
said that she would never love anyone else. For a time
she lived with her parents-in-law in Pompey and then prob-
ably with her own parents. It was not long, however, be-
fore she md (2) George DARROW, a widower who had lost his
companion about the same year as Mary had lost hers. At
first it was no doubt a marriage of convenience. Mary
had two small children and no visible means of support.
George had six motherless children and needed help. Lat-
er the union developed into a genuine marriage of love.

In the courthouse, Utica, N.Y. deeds show that
George DARROW, on 7 Oct 1795, bought 226 acres of land
in Herkimer Co., N.Y. In 1822 he bought other land in
Vienna, N.Y. and probably owned land there prior to
that time. Some time soon after the birth of their ch
Amanda, the Darrow family decided to move on to Michi-
gan, a newer, more promising frontier land. Before 1831
they were settled in what is now Dundee, Monroe Co.,
Michigan, on the banks of the beautiful Raisin River.
Michigan deeds show that they prospered there. It
was a beautiful, fertile land, fairly level and easy to
clear and farm. The Indians were not troublesome any
longer and life was smooth.
After George's death Mary Ann yielded to the persuasions
of her son, John Madison CHIDESTER, and with his help
settled the estate in Michigan (1844) and moved to Nau-
voo. 111.
Later, during the Mormon move to the Rocky Mountains,
she was married (3) to John YOUNG, brother to Brigham
YOUNG. During the last years of her life she lived with
her son in Washington, Utah.

When Solomon LOVELAND applied for a bounty land
grant for military service, 14 Apr 1855, he declared
that he was a drummer and musician in the company of
Rangers commanded by Asa WELLS during the war bet-
ween the United States and Great Britain, which was
declared 18 June 1812. He was honorably discharged
from this service at Smith's Mills about the 15th Nov
1814, and was allowed four days time to return to his
home in Pompey, N.Y., having at that time served 3 5
days in the New York Militia. At the time of the appli-
cation he had moved from Pompey to Hoosick Falls, N.Y.
On 15 Apr 1871, Clorinda, widow of Solomon Loveland,
made application for a widow's pension and stated that
during his service Solomon had been ordered to Oswego
and to Sacket's Harbor; that before his decease he
had been issued warrants for forty acres and one hund-
red twenty acres of bounty land. She stated that she
was married under the name of Clorinda CHIDESTER, 16
Oct 1808. She also applied for funeral reimbursement
and listed:
Coffin, hearse and services $40.00
Four carriages attending hearse 12.00
Use of receiving vault and interment 5.00

His assets at time of death did not exceed ten dollars,

The families of David CHIDESTER and Manoah PRATT were
neighbors in the tovmship of Pompey, living about half-
way between the village of Pompey and the town of Caze-
novia. When they first settled there it was thought they
belonged to the latter city, but the boundary later put
them definitely in the Pompey district. The two families
were united in the marriage of Jared and Betsey, a union
that was happy for both families.
The "Pompey, Onondaga, N.Y. Reunion of 1871" p 143,
reports: "Jared PRATT resided in Pompey till about the
year 1830 when he moved to Jefferson Co., N.Y. After
residing there about five years he moved to Michigan
upon the territory in dispute between Michigan and Ohio
and this left him in the latter state where he remained,
engaged in farming. His failing strength obliged him to
abandon that vocation and only one grandchild now remains
of that family,"
The upper portion of Ohio and lower portion of Michigan
comprised a territory that was hotly contested by the two
states for some time. The dispute was known as the "Tol-
edo War." Both states wanted control of the belt of rich
farm land. For a time no one knew which state to support
until the boundary line was finally drawn as it stands
today. The Pratt farm ended up being partly in Ohio and
part in Michigan. Metamora, Ohio, and Blissfield, Mich. ,
were close neighbors. While the family lived, technically
in Metamora, they attended church and were most active
civically, in Blissfield.
Jared and Betsey were admitted into the church in
Pompey 30 July 1815, and were dismissed to Antwerp, Jeff-
erson, N.Y, 13 Mar 1825. In the 1830 census they were
shown living next door to Abial SHURTLEFF, whose dau Nancy
later married Betsey's nephew, David Starr CHIDESTEr8-83 .
74 HERITAGE
On 20 Feb 1833, Jared and Betsey were admitted to
the Presbyterian church in Blissfield, Mich., and their
dau Mary Ann was admitted 30 Aug 1845. Jared PRATT was
ordained an Elder in the church by Rev. John WALKER on
22 Dec 1839. He served the church well, officiating many
times in behalf of or in lieuof the minister. So devoted
were Betsey and Jared to the church, and so generous of
time and means that when the present lovely frame church
was built, a beautiful stained glass window was dedicated
to them.
After Jared 's death Betsey married a Mr. HOUGHTBY. No
record has been found of t he marriage, but her tombstone
bears the inscription:
BETSEY CHIDESTER PRATT HOUGHTBY.
She was probably the third wife of John HOUGHTBY, the
original immigrant from England. The "Portrait and Bio-
graphical Album of Lenawee Co. Mich (1888, Chapman Bros)
says of him: "John HOUGHTBY was married three times,"
but it names only his first wife.
At the time of her death Betsey was living at the
home of her son William,

John A. Weed was for some time an inmate of the Nehemiah Bene-
dict home. Growing into a promising young man, he was public
school instructor for a time. Afterwards, through acquaint-
ance with Dr. A. J. McLEAN of Norwalk, he became familiar with
drugs and started, prosperously, in that business. "He was
for many years a reliable and highly honored citizen of the
town." (Rev. Charles M, Selleck's History of Norwalk, Conn.
1896; p 33)
Henry CHICHESTER enlisted in the Revolutionary forces
1779. He was taken prisoner but was exchanged in 1781.
He re-enlisted under Capt. Ebenezer JONES for guard duty

Lafayette moved to Illinois about the same time as
his brother Horatio Nelson CHIDESTER did — about 1839.
He helped his brother to establish and operate a school
and was a teacher for quite some time, acquiring pro-

In 1844 he was witness to a will made by Alexander M.
Imbric of Mercer Co., 111.
A brief year after his marriage, he died intestate
and his wife, Matilda Chidester, was appointed administra-
trix 15 June 1855. Her last accounting of the property was
made 23 Nov 1864 when she signed herself as Matilda ALEX-
ANDER and stated that there were no children, she being
the only heir. (Probate recs Mercer Co., 111.)

Moving to Ohio in 1802 with his father's family, Eras-
tus spent his teen years there in Canfield. He met his
wife, Lydia Sackett, when she came from Warren, Conn.,
to visit her sister, Mrs. David HINE. In 1820 he was
on the building committee to erect a house of worship for
the village. It was a good, substantial frame building
that stood on the east side of the public square. In
1835 the Congregational divided and the present Presby-
terian church was organized.
Not content to remain in Ohio, Erastus moved his
family to Illinois where he died. His wife and some
of the children moved from there to Iowa.

Quote from History of Medina Co., Ohio, 1818:—
80
"One of the early taverns of Medina was the
CHIDESTER HOUSE. This was the stage house, after a
line was established from Cleveland to Wooster and Col-
umbus, and , like the frontier tavern, was a place of
considerable resort. About stage time, everybody
flocked to the tavern to see the stage come in, just as
t he boys of the present day gather at the depot about
train time to see who can swear the biggest oaths , chew
the most tobacco, squirt out the greatest quantity of
juice and use the most obscene language. As the stage
rattled up with the blowing of the horn, and the pranc-
ing of the 'Fiery, untamed steeds,' the people around
milled, ready to pick up any stray scrap of news from
the outside world.
"Chidester House was long a famous stopping place,
and a well known tavern in this section of the State."
W. R. CHIDESTER, Proprietor."

his profession was given as surveyor. He was county
surveyor from 1858 to 1866. During that time his
knowledge of carpentry was put to use also, for in

he was on the committee to build the county Poor House.
From 1867 to 1874 he was county treasurer and in 1875

No reason has been given for the divorce of David

two older children at such early ages frightened Nancy
and she decided to leave the itinerant life of a min-

David Starr CHIDESTER said that he was raised in the
home of his grandparents but did not specify whether
they were the Chidester or Gifford family. He could
have been with his mother and George DARROW when they
lived briefly in Jefferson Co. , New York, enroute to
Michigan. It was possibly at that time that he first
became acquainted with the Shurtleff family, with whom
he elected to stay rather than go to Michigan, eventually
marrying Nancy, the daughter of Abial SHURTLEFF.
Sometime during the early years of his marriage, he
elected to become a minister and was to spend seventeen
96 HERITAGE
years in the service of the Methodist church, mov-
ing from place to place as required. In the Central
New York Methodist Conference record is the follow-
ing, speaking of David:
"He was received into the Black River Conference
in 1838, and into full connection in 1840. His fields
of labor were in the following order: Canton, Louis-
ville, Hopkinton, Herkimer, Frankfort, Marcy, Newport,
Lee, North Manlius, First Ward of Syracuse, Belgium
and Collamer. His health was early broken, obliging
him to retire for seven years upon the Superanuated
list; but so strong was his desire to return to his
work in the field, as to lead him to make several att-
empts to return. . .when he would again be compelled
to retire.
"When not in pastoral work, he practiced medicine
and dentistry, and occupied honorable positions in
each of these professions."
The home his children loved and knew best was in
Syracuse, N.Y. where David was pastor 1859 and 1860.
In "A Century of Methodism in the First Ward of Syra-
cuse, formerly Salina" Rev. Geo. E. Hutchings, 1907,
we read :
"It is sufficient praise for the pastorate of D.
CHIDESTER — the man who was both preacher, doctor and
dentist . . to say that at this time Thomas REDHEAD
and his wife were converted. If no others had been
reached and no other work done, this alone was well
worth the two years effort." The Redheads went on to
become "pillars" of the church.
When the "College of Missionaries" was incorporat-
ed 2 Aug 1871, Dr. David Starr CHIDESTER was one of
the first trustees.
David was a generous, kindly man, and above all, a
good father. He saw to it that his children were well
educated. His home and office were centers for their
every activity. His office at No. 12 South Salina St.
Syracuse, was even used by his daughter Florence as the
first secret meeting place of her fraternity.
David developed and sold a syrup which he claimed
t o be a cure for cancer. In many instances it served
the purpose.
With all his activity and varied pursuits, he had
too many philanthropies to become a wealthy man. His
wealth was his church and his family.

trade, becoming a skilled artisan. He was probably
still engaged in his apprenticeship when his mother
and family moved to Michigan where they lived for at
least two years before John seems to have joined them.
In his family record John records that he was
married in New York to Mary Josephine PARKER. Like
him, Mary had been raised by relatives, her mother
having died when Mary was very small. An uncle,
Eli HULL and his wife Polly, had cared for her and she
was probably still living with them at the time of hec
marriage. Her father and his family had moved to
Michigan several years before and lived in the same
general area as the Chidester-Darrow family did. With
both families living in Michigan, it is no wonder that
soon after their marriage John and Mary decided to join
them, settling in Summerfield Twp. Monroe, Michigan,
near the town of Petersburg.
In the summer of 1832, two itinerant missionaries of
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints came
to Michigan. John liked the message they brought and
decided to join them. On the 20th day of June, 1832,
he was baptized by Elder Joseph WOOD and confirmed by
Elder David PATTEN. The following summer he was or-
dained an elder in the church.
When a call for volunteers came, to make a march to
Missouri to aid and defend beleagured church members
there, reached Michigan, it found ready volunteers
in the Chidester family. Selling his property in Mich-
igan, John, with his wife and infant son, set out on a
great adventure. They traveled as far as Florence,
Ohio, then paused to wait for the main group to come
from Kirtland, Ohio. While there, a daughter was
born, making four members of the family joining
the camp.
It was to be a long, difficult march - a time of
testing and trial. John and his family stood the test
so well that many years later he was to bear testimony
of his increased faith as a result of the experience.
He told of the time when, after a hard day's march,
they came to a lovely camp spot on the bank of a river.
Everyone hurried to make camp, but Joseph Smith, their
prophet-leader, insisted that they go on quite some
distance to a much less desireable spot. Some grumbled
but all eventually complied. The next morning it was
learned that there had been a mob gathering the night
•f ' „^^tending to descend on the camp to destroy
t^'-r >, ^f! '^t''^ "^^""^ ^^^'^ incidents that so inspir-
ed John with the leadership of the Prophet Joseph that
fnr-^^K ^"^y^^g allegiance to him and would never hence-
forth be engaged in anything that was not a part of the
HERITAGE 99
church. Every demand would. be met willingly.
After the emergency was met and the Camp was dis-
banded, John settled his family in Liberty, Clay Co.,
Mo. They were not to remain there long, however? mobs
were incited against the Saints again. It was here
that John acted as body guard for the Prophet. It
was here that he was taken by a mob and condemned to
be hanged for, as they said, the theft of a horse. It
was a false charge but there was no chance for defense.
As the mob prepared to carry out their sentence, John
stood and defied them, saying that the first person
who touched him, he would "lay out." So courageous
was his action that members of the mob became sympa-
thetic and said that so brave a man should not die.
He was freed.
Mob action increased in intensity and the family,
with other members of the church, was forced to leave
their property and to move on. The story was repeated
again in Far West, Missouri. Two children were born
during this time, neither of them surviving the hard-
ships. Eventually the family moved across the river
to Quincy, 111., where they remained for a year, going
from there to Nauvoo, Hancock, 111.
In Nauvoo there was comparative peace for a few
years. For their protection, the Nauvoo Legion was
organized and John joined it. On 8 June, 1843, John
was commissioned 2nd Lieutenant of the 2nd Cohort,
Nauvoo Legion. He became 1st Lieutenant of the 1st
Cohort, Nauvoo Legion, 14 Dec 1844. (Executive Record,
1843-47, vol 4 pp 54, 238.)
John prospered in Nauvoo, although he had lost all
his worldly goods in the previous moves and had arriv-
ed without means. He was able to leave his family long
enough to serve a short mission for the church, going
back to Michigan where he converted his mother and a
sister. A year later, in 1843-44, after t he death of
his step-father, he returned to Michigan, disposed of
the last of his own property there and helped his mother
settle her affairs and dispose of her property and move
to Nauvoo.
As the Saints prospered and built their small empire
in Illinois, persecution from neighboring communities
flared up again. The Prophet was the main target and
was constantly under the necessity of evading the per-
secutors. The family tells the story of one time when
John was out in the country peddling apples. The Pro-
phet met him and asked his help, for a mob was after him,
John re-arranged the apples so that the Prophet was
completely covered — all but his feet. There wasn't
100 HERITAGE
time to do more. The mob came up and demanded that he
submit to a search. They looked all around, did not
see the uncovered feet, and finally left, whereupon
John turned his wagon around and headed for home. At
a fork in the road John decided to take the shortest
route. but as he turned into that road a blinding
flash of lightening struck just ahead of the horses.
They were frightened and began to run, out of control.
By the time John was able to calm them he found that
they were well on the way down the opposite road. He
drove on and when he arrived home he discovered that,
had he gone the first route, he would have encountered
the mob again and probably not been so successful in
evading them.
The Prophet was martyred and events forced the Saints
to abandon their homes yet another time. John moved
his family across the Missippi River to a camp on the
edge of Sugar Creek, near Montrose, Iowa. He then
loaned his wagon to one of the general authorities,
Ezra Taft BENSON, so that he could accompany the
new leaders in their scouting way west. He and family
would wait until the wagon was sent back for them.
While waiting, John and his eldest son built a raft
and busied themselves in helping other church members
to cross the river. While there, a daughter was born.
John, disguised as a woman, cared for his wife and baby.
Most of the Saints had moved on and he was alone with
his family. Mobs would not, at that time, hurt the
children and women if there was no man around.
In Kanesville, now Council Bluffs, Iowa, the family
stopped to recoup their fortunes and prepare for the
difficult journey across the prairies to the Rocky
Mountains. John built a horse-powered grist mill and
ground corn and wheat into meal to sell as well as to
sustain the family. He and his sons worked to fashion
wagons and carts for the pioneers. Eventually, the fam-
ily was ready to move, but not before another child
had been born. Again, as had happened twice before,
Mary would walk the weary miles with an infant in her
arms .
Arrived in Utah, the family camped in Salt Lake City
for a time, then went to Bountiful for a year. During
this time John made a living by building spinning
wheels which were desparately needed by the women.
Then the call came to settle in Spanish Fork, the area
south of what was to become Provo, Utah. No other settle-
ment had been made in that barren region. John became
a spiritual and temporal leader of the group, serving
as their branch president, as chaplin for all civic aff-
HERITAGE 101
airs and as a military leader during the time of the
Walker Indian War.
In 1856 there was a terrible grasshopper plague
that took all the crops and left the family so desti-
tute that it was decided that they should leave,
although they struggled on for another two years.
Spending a short time in Parley's Park to recover a
bit, they then returned to Salt Lake City where they
lived in the Sixteenth Ward. The children were grow-
ing and some of them married when John and Mary re-
ceived their last pioneering call.
In the fall of 1862 they were asked to join the
"Cotton Mission" and go to Southern Utah where they
would be involved in the production of cotton and
cloth. John's skill as a "turner" was deemed necess-
ary in the new community. They went without a mur-
mur to this new, very difficult land and settled in
what is now Washington. They were to experience
many things. There would be want, Indian troubles,
malaria and all the problems of building a life in
a forbidding land,
John sold his water rights in the Mill Creek so
that the cotton factory could be built. He helped to
build and operate the factory, hand carving the
reeds that went into the looms. His skill was con-
stantly in demand. His next and last big venture
was to help in the building of the St. George Temple,
doing much of the hand carving of the interior.
As the temple became a reality, John was inspired
to begin a family record. He wrote letters, research-
ed all available means, and compiled a record that is
the basis and inspiration of this present work.
Back in New York, his brother, David Starr CHIDESTER
was instilling the same love and respect for family in
the minds and hearts of his children so that they, too,
would keep family records religiously.
After a life of hardship and trial, but content
with his life, John died peacefully at his home in
Washington, Mary having preceded him by several years.

106 HERITAGE
Quote from "History of Mercer and Henderson Counties,
111" pub by H. H. Hill & Co, Chicago, 111, 1882:
"Nelson CHIDESTER and his wife, Rebecca, are among
the early pioneers who still live to enjoy the advant-
ages their labors have helped to build up out of the
privations of pioneer life. Mr. Chidester. . .came
to Illinois in 1839, spending the first winter in
Little York, Warren Co; removing in t he spring of
1840 to the northeast of section 16, in this town-
ship (Rivoli) where he still resides. Mr and Mrs.
Chidester were original members of the Wesleyan Meth-
odist Church, to which they still belong. The second
school taught in the township was on Mr. Chidester 's
premises, occupying a back porch when the weather was
pleasant and moving into the kitchen when it rained.
This school was taught in the summer of 1843 by Mary
Stewart. The next year (1844) Mr. Chidester built
a temporary building in his yard with l\imber designed
for a barn, where Miss Pollock, of North Henderson,
taught when the weather was pleasant; when it rained
she had to adjourn the school to the house, and that
was a frequent occurrence that year."
Horatio Nelson Chidester taught the school at
times, and his brother Lafayette was hired as teach-
er. School records show that Lafayette received $1.15
one quarter. He served as Assessor at different times
while Horatio Nelson Chidester served as Collector.
In January 1921, Royal CHIDESTER, son of Horatio
Nelson, presented a petition to the court concerning
the last will and testament of his father, stating that
his father died in 1893; that he left his widow and
his two children. Royal and Loama H. POWELL; that the
said Rebecca S. Chidester had since died intestate,
as had also, Loama H. Powell; that the only persons
interested in the estate of Nelson Chidester were him-
self and his nephew, William N. POWELL. The following
year, William N. POWELL filed an affidavit on 22 Sept
1922, saying that Royal CHIDESTER had died, leaving no
widow, no father, mother, brothers or sisters as heirs.
That he, William N. POWELL was the only surviving heir.

From History of Mercer and Henderson Counties, 111
pub by H. H. Hill, Chicago, 111., 1882:
"Sidney CHIDESTER, farmer, worked with his father
at the carpenter's trade until twenty-two years of
age, when he came west and settled in Mercer County,
where he has lived ever since. Being one of the early
settlers of the county, he had to endure all the hard-
ships connected with pioneer life. His education was
limited to a common school course. In politics Mr.
CHIDESTER had always been republican until 1875 when
he joined the party known as the greenback party, of
which he has since been a member. He was elected school
trustee in 184 5, and served twenty-five years consecu-
tively. In 1847 he was elected justice of the peace,
and served three years. In 1849 he was elected county
associate justice for the term of three years. He was
the first supervisor of the New Boston township and
served as chairman of that board. In later years he
has served ten years as township collector. He has
always been an active temperance man."

It is said by the family that Wilbur was named for
Wilbur Fisk, founder of Wilburforce College in England.
He enlisted in the Union army 24 Sept 1864, and was a
corporal in the 185th N.Y. Voluntary Infantry, Co. I.
He was severely wounded in action 29 Mar 1865, near the
South Side Railroad, Gravelly Run, Virginia, sustaining
a gun shot wound in the left thigh. He was in the hosp-
ital in Washington D. C, when his father. Dr. David
Starr CHIDESTER, and his sister Mary came to tend
him. As soon as he could be moved and after his dis-
charge, 6 June 1865, he was taken home to Syracuse
where his father continued to care for him until 1870

Growing up in the turbulent early years of Mormon-
ism was not all bad. There was the companionship of
the sons and daughters of the great leaders of Mormon-
ism, the great excitement of military clashes and the
challenge of the unknown that has always been manna to
youth.
By the time John was sixteen years of age he had
learned to work beside his father as carpenter and
turner. He had helped in the building of many of the
homes in Nauvoo; and most importantly of all, he had
helped in the building of the Nauvoo Temple. In the
fateful year of 1846, John helped his father to con-
struct a raft and ferry the Saints across the Mississi-
ppi river. More often than not it was John who quided
the craft until it reached the Iowa shore and disgorg-
ed its precious cargo.
In Winter Quarters, John continued to work with his
father as they built and operated a grist mill to pro-
vide flour for the bread of the migrating Saints.
In the spring of 1850, not yet nineteen years of
age, it was the turn of John and his family to cross
the great plains to "Zion." That same year the Foy
family was making the same journey and it is entirely
possible that the two families journeyed together as
Independent Pioneers, arriving in the Great Salt Lake
Valley in the late summer.
Thomas Burk FOY, listing himself as of German desc-
ent, and his wife, Catherine Rebecca FINK, who said
128 HERITAGE
she was of Welsh descent, had joined the Church in
western Pennsylvania early in 1840. Leaving Wheat-
field, Indiana, Pa., almost immediately after bapt-
ism, they and their five children settled in Warsaw,
Hancock, 111., just a few miles from Nauvoo. Three
more children were born to the family in Warsaw; an-
other was born during the trek across Iowa; one was
born the December after their arrival in Salt Lake
City in 1850; and the last child of the family was
born in 1853 after the family had moved to Farmington.
It was inevitable that Susan FOY (the second child
in the Foy family) and John Peck CHIDESTER, with so
much in common, should be attracted to each other.
They were married and soon were pioneering the Spanish
Fork area on the edge of Utah Lake. Their first
home was a dug-out. Timber around Spanish Fork was
difficult to obtain and very scarce. The dug-out
was comfortable, affording protection from summer heat
and winter cold alike. It was constructed by digging
a hole in the ground about five feet deep, with steps
leading down into the room. A roof of willows and mud
stretched over all and a fireplace in the end opposite
the stairway, provided heat, light and a place to cook.
The young couple entered into the life of the new
community with vigor. Not only did they work to esta-
blish a home in this new frontier, but they were con-
cerned for the welfare of their neighbors, a trait by
which they would always be known.
With the eruption of the Walker Indian War, John
was commissioned a Captain in the re-activated Nauvoo
Legion. His wife and child, with other families, sought
refuge in the adobe schoolhouse, the only public build-
ing in the community. They dug roots for food and liv-
ed the best way they could. The men were away in serv-
ice so there were no harvests that year. The ensuing
grasshopper plague and drought decimated the fortunes
of the family , eventually forcing them to leave.
After a short time in the resettlement center of
Parley's Park and a brief time in Salt Lake City, they
were called to participate in the re-settlement of
Southern Utah.
The journey south was an easy one most of the way.
The Indians were at peace again and the young couple
had high hopes for the future. Beyond Cedar City, how-
ever, the road became more tortuous. The Black Ridge
with its deep, winding canyons and rocky hills, defied
the travelers. Many times loads had to be lightened
so the oxen could pull the heavy wagons up a steep in-
cline, then the goods portered up. Brakes had to be
applied on down-grades and sometimes a cedar or cypress
HERITAGE 129
tree attached to the wagon to slow the descent. At
least once the wagon had to be lowered down a precip-
itous hill by the use of ropes. They reached Washing-
ton 1 Jan 1863.
The first winter, their home was the wagon box in
which they had made the journey south. John worked
hard to add a brush and sod shanty to ward off the icy
winds and add room for his family to flex its muscles.
He learned to work with adobe bricks and with rock to
build more substantially and as the years passed he
was able t o build a fine home for his family.
John was quick to clear his land to begin plant-
ing crops to sustain the family and to bring in much
needed cash. He planted cotton, vegetables, grain,
fruit trees and vineyards. His skill as a carpenter
was used to build the school house and other public
buildings in Washington and St. George, as well as
homes for the people.
In order to have farms it was necessary to provide
water to irrigate the land. Washington had ample
water from springs for culinary and town garden pur-
poses, but water for the farms had to come from unpre-
dictable Virgin River. Dams would be built only to be
washed out in spring floods. There was constant need
for repair and rebuilding of canals and dams. Finally
after years of trial and error, it was John P. Chides-
ter who engineered and superintended the construction
of the diversion dam which held and is still serving
the people of the valley.
From 1865-68 he was the chief carpenter and super-
intended the construction of the cotton factory, cutt-
ing the timbers and doing the mortise work with hand
tools.
By the time the cotton factory became operational
the Chidester children were old enough that they began
working there. The mother no longer had to spend most
of her time spinning and weaving at home — the factory
did it better and faster. Susan found time to help
there, too. From then until its closing the family
took an active part in its operation. After it ceased
to operate continuously, it was the Chidester girls
who hastened to man the looms when important visitors
came to see the mill.
Susan and the girls converted their attic to the
production of silk fiber. John planted mulberry trees
close about the house so that in tending their charges
the girls would only have to open the windows to pick
the leaves for the worms to feed on.
The family was close-knit and full of fun. They
2^30 HERITAGE
took their hardships stoically, made the best of them
and enjoyed life. It was said in the cotton factory
that Myron, the second son of the family, kept the
work from being humdriom with his jokes. Both of the
boys, John Foy and Myron, played the fiddle and comb-
ined with other musicians to provide music for the
dances and celebrations.
During the erection of the St. George Temple, John
served in the surveying of timber sources and superin-
tended the scaffolding on the building. During much
of the time he was also serving his community in lead-
ership capacities, from being member of the bishopric
in the church to heading committees for civic vent-
ures. He cared for his aging parents and accepted
from them the responsibility of continuing the work
of record keeping.
After t he completion of the temple and the dam,
as his health deteriorated, John contented himself to
the care of his farm and orchard and to making the year-
ly trips to peddle his fruit and molasses — and to work
on his genealogy. At his death he had compiled 1500
names and had kept his family busy doing the same work.
The record was turned over to his eldest son, John Foy
Chides ter.
In 1882 Susan Foy Chidester was sustained and set
apart as Relief Society president of the Washington
Ward. She survived her husband by five years.

Eunice Chidester HARMON, born on a pioneer trail,
grew up knowing how to work hard and make the best of
every situation. She and her husband, young newly-
weds, lived for a few years in a dug-out in Spanish
Fork, Utah, as did her parents and older brother , in
the frustrating experience of opening that area to
settlement.
They lived briefly, after that, in Parley's Park,
a sort of resettlement community, then moved back to
Salt Lake City. In 1862 the family answered the call
to the Cotton Mission in Southern Utah. Eunice's
parents and brothers were also going and her younger
sister was already there, so it would prove to be any-
thing but lonely.
Eunice would need the support of this loving family,
for in 1874 her husband died, leaving her the sole supp-
ort of her family. She was an expert seamstress and
did millinery work. By thrift and diligence she was
able to fulfill the monximental task of raising her fam-
ily and seeing to it that all the children received
the best education possible. All of them were able
and did teach school for a time.
During the years of their widowhood, the sisters,
Eunice and Esther, were very close to each other.
Eunice would visit Esther in Provo and together they
would re-live the happy times of their family life
together and recount stories of their parents and
brothers . For a short time Eunice made her home in
Provo, then sometime after 18 85, she decided to move
close to her son Oliver John HARMON who was then liv-
ing in Huntington, Ut. Arrived there, her son built
a small shop next to his place of business and Eunice
set up a millinery shop again and continued in gain-
ful employment there.

In the first year of the marriage of David and Reb-

After the death of David LEWIS, Margaret md (2)
Tarlton LEWIS, brother to David. This was not a happy
marriage, however, and they were soon divorced. Marg-
aret was a young woman with two children and no visi-
ble means of support. The best and most compassionate
way to care for her, it seemed to David and Rebecca,
was to make her a part of the family, Consequently,
11 Oct 186 5, Margaret became the plural wife of David

The home which John Madison CHIDESTER built in
Nauvoo was on an acre plot of land described as block
#34 lot 4, located on the northwest corner of the inter-
section of Hiram and Woodruff Streets. It was in this
home, about six months before the city of Nauvoo re-
ceived its charter, that David, the third son and
fifth child of the family was born. David was just
four years old at the time of the martyrdom of the
Prophet Joseph SMITH. Two years later he was moving
with the family across the river to begin the long,
tedious journey to the Valley of the Mountains.
The custom of the Saints in their journey was to
plant crops along the way. Succeeding pioneers would
harvest them. David, at age 11, as adept at tying
bundles of grain and had taught his friend to do the
same. All the boys in the field made the work inter-
esting by racing down the rows. The first time Dav-
id and his friend participated in a race they didn't
do so well. The second race, they ended about a
third of the way down the field; but the third race,
they beat the other teams by more than half the way.
Making a game out of the back-breaking task got the
wheat harvested and there was food in the camp.
The boy grew into manhood during the trip across
134 HERITAGE
the plains, the years in Parley's Park and in Salt
Lake. Before 1862 he had begun to strike out on his
own, for the journal record of Shoal Creek Branch of
Hebron Ward, Utah, records:
"To keep all parts of the great work in motion
JohnCfiSRLES and William PULSIPHER (David's brother-in-
law) and David CHIDESTER undertook the herding busin-
ess and on the 1st of Jan 1862 started out for the
mountains with a herd of cattle, sheep and horses. We
built a log house and coral about 20 miles north of
St. George and wintered there. When spring came we
moved on north past the mountain meadows over the
rim of the great basin of Deseret, turning west 12
miles to Shoal Creek, a small stream fed by springs
that runs a few miles and sinks again. This is about
4 5 miles from St. George, quite a distance, but the
nearest location for a large stock that we could find.
"We had spent considerable time exploring during
the winter by advice of Pres. SNOW. It was on the 5th
of March that CHARLES and PULSIPHER started with a
span of horses and cart to explore Shoal Creek. They
located a road, visited the natives, a band of Piutes
that inhabited the place, and they expressed themselves
well pleased with our coming to live with them. We
arrived at this place with our families, flocks and
herds on the 27th April, 1862. We were very busy all
the season taking care of our flocks in a strange
place; for the first year we could hardly get a
chance to rest on Sunday. David CHIDESTER started for
Salt Lake City on the 14th of June and came back in
December, sold out his share in the herd and settled
in Washington City with his father."
David had gone to Salt Lake in time to be called
officially to the Cotton Mission and had returned with
his parents to accept the call. He didn't lose his
interest entirely in the Hebron venture and was to
return there later.
The summer of 1863 David was called to return to
Winter Quarters, Nebr. , with a wagon and help some of
the Saints to come to Utah. He is said to have been
paid for this service with a trunk, a set of dishes, a
violin which he could not play and about ten pounds of
sugar, a priceless commodity in the territory.
Between March and May of 1866, having acquired a
family by this time, David moved to Hebron. The Fourth
of July was celebrated in good style that year. Joseph
HUNTSMAN fired a formal salute, flags were flown all
HERITAGE
135
day; the men enjoyed themselves in a game of ball;
the little boys had a military parade. "We enjoyed
the good things at several tables in the shape of
big dinners. At 2o' clock C. PULSIPHER formed the
people in procession and marched to the meeting house
with music under the charge of David CHIDESTER."
During these early years in Southern Utah,
David served in the armed services for a short time,
defending the settlers from Indian attacks. His
official service was not long enough, however, for
him to receive a pension, but there was almost cons-
tant need to protect the people from hostile bands of
Indians.
David participated in the erection and operation
of a sawmill in Hebron, 1869. Cattle and dairy busin-
ess remained the chief activity. Many acres of past-
ure land were fenced and hay was harvested for cattle
to produce milk and cheese. The records say: "Be-
sides our herding and building we helped our women
some in the dairy business. We made about 3,000 lbs
of butter and cheese which helped our friends in St.
George to a better living than they would have had
without it." David was always a good cheese maker.
In July 1870, J. W. HUNT moved back to Hebron
from Clover Valley. David traded property with him
and moved his own families to the Valley. Clover
and Meadow Valleys, as well as Deseret Springs (now
Mesquite) had been settled and farmed by the Mormons
and considered part of the territory belonging to
their state of Deseret (later known as Utah.) In
December of 1870, after David had moved to Clover
Valley, surveyors were sent in by the government to
determine the boundary line for the new state of
Nevada. The line was fixed about 15 miles west of
Hebron, leaving these three settlements in Nevada.
The new state was heavily in debt so levied heavy
taxes on the farm communities. They also endeavored
to extract back taxes for the years that those taxes
had been paid to Utah. Many of the Mormon settlers
moved away rather than pay such unjust assessments.
David and his family remained until the latter part
of 1875 when they returned to Hebron.
About the year 1881, the family moved again, this
time to Leeds, Utah. Pressure against plural families
was mounting and David was forced to divide his inter-
ests by moving Rebecca and her children to St. George.
He now had two families to care for but separated by
a few miles. David, Rebecca and Margaret suffered
from the persecution heaped upon them by foreign off-
136 HERITAGE
icers, but David refused to desert either family. On
22 Dec 1887, a Thursday, in the Second District Court,
(Judge BOREMAN) David CHIDESTER of Leeds was sentenc-
ed to six months imprisonment and a fine of $300.00
and costs for Unlawful Cohabitatiofi . The next day he
and three other men were imprisoned. His term was
served in the old state penitentiary that stood in
what is now Sugarhouse Park, Salt Lake City. He said
that he would serve his time peacefully if they would
let him have all the salt he wanted. During his stay
he carved the pieces for a rocking chair with his
pocket knife and put the chair together. That chair
is still in the family. On 22 June 1888, a Friday,
David CHIDESTER and four others named were discharged
from the penitentiary.
After the Manifesto was issued by Pres. Wilford
WOODRUFF, David gave up his second family. He could
no longer visit them although he continued to provide
for them.
At the turn of the century the Big Horn basin in
Wyoming was opened for settlement. Margaret's daugh-
ters and their husbands, along with other Mormon fam-
ilies, moved north to obtain rich, new land. Margar-
et moved with them and died in Cowley, Wyoming.
The family always raised its own sheep, carded the
wool and spun it. They also raised cotton in St. George
and made their own clothes . It was hard to get shoes,
though, so the children went barefooted. Times were
just as hard in St. George as they had been in Hebron.
By 1903 David was supporting his family by raising
a garden and turkeys.
One hot summer day Leland CHIDESTER, a grandson,
visited his grandmother in St. George. Rebecca Ann
was fanning herself with her apron and Leland asked
her how they could stand the heat. She replied that
"when Brigham young sent people to St. George to est-
ablish the Cotton Mission he picked only those who were
too green to burn."
About 1907, David and Rebecca moved to Richfield,
Ut. , where they rented two vacant lots, raised veget-
ables and sold them. They would dry corn and before
they could put it away they would soak it, boil it and
eat it. David enjoyed cantaloupes. He would eat them
three meals a day as long as they were in season but
would not touch them any other time. The last place
they lived by themselves in Richfield, David would sit
by the hour and peel apples and put them out to dry as
long as the apples lasted. The last job that David
held was as a night watchman at the Sigurd Gypsum plant.
HERITAGE 137
David loved his grandchildren and would greet
them as "You little darlins" when they came to visit,
but as soon as home was mentioned he would have their
buggy loaded and was pushing them out the door. He
would say to Rebecca, "Now, Ma, you know they got to
get home to the chores." Later, David and Rebecca
gave up their home and went to live for a time with
their son Matt in Venice, Ut. David would keep the
weeds out of the garden and watered it from an artes-
ian well. He hated to hear a child shriek and would
appear out of nowhere and pull its ears.
He was old and grey for a long time and was stoop-
ed from arthritis. His hands became so crippled that
he could barely pinch a wash cloth between thumb and
forefinger, but pinch it he did as he struggled to
help Rebecca with the household chores. He did most
of the cooking and housekeeping as Rebecca got so that
she couldn't get around very well.
A kindly man with a Santa Claus beard, many child-
ren thought he really was Santa Claus. Stoop-shoulder-
ed and bent with age and hard work he would walk with
both arms swinging forward and back simultaneously.
He never wore glasses but used a magnifying glass for
reading. He had all of his teeth at the time of his
death, claiming that they were good because he always
used them to crack nuts.
David and Rebecca went briefly to Delta with their
son Matt and his family, but returned to Richfield,
which was home to them, and lived there with their
son David Jr. The last years of their lives, both
David and Rebecca were bedridden. Each morning one
or the other of them would reach over to see if the
other was still there. When found, they would be
content.
Added note by grand daughter, Barbara Michaelson:
While living in Hebron and just a few months after
losing their first child, they were expecting another
baby. It was 1 Nov 1867, and they were living in a
log cabin. All through the night while the baby was
being born, the family dog barked, snarled and growl-
ed. David could not leave Becky to shut the dog up.
They supposed that he was barking at a wild animal or
something. The next morning when David went to the
creek for a bucket of water, he saw all up and down
the other side of the creek the tracks of Indians.
David and Becky had become the proud parents of a fine
baby boy, David Jr. They told him, later, the story of
his birth and of their love for the dog who had protect-
138 HERITAGE
ed them during that long night.

when he, with his family, crossed the plains to Salt
Lake Valley. It was there, at school, that he event-
ually met Juliette BURGESS who became his wife — she
15 years of age and he 19.
A carpenter and furniture builder by trade, which
he learned under the tutelage of his skilled father,
he moved his family rather frequently, seeking better
working opportunities. He built houses in the summer
time and in the winter he made furniture whenever he
could. Some of the chairs he built were used in the
old Semloh Hotel in Salt Lake City.

During the years in Bear Lake Joshua also carried
mail and supplies over the Shoshone Indian Trail bet-
ween Bear Lake and Logan, Utah, traveling in the winter
on snow shoes over the rugged mountain terrain. He
thus established the first line of communication bet-
ween the two communities.
He had a reputation for being a great speaker and
could speak well on any subject, although he preferred
religion. At one time some friends challenged him to
speak extemporaneously on a subject of their choice.
He accepted the challenge and, as he rose to address
the congregation, he was handed a peice of paper.
"My friends," he said, "I am here tonight accord-
ing to agreement to preach from such a text as these
gentlemen might select for me. I have it here in my
hand. I don't wish you to become offended at me, for
I am under promise to preach from the text selected;
and if anyone is to blame, I knew nothing of what text
they would choose. But of all texts this is my favo-
rite one. You see, the paper is blank." 'He there-
with proceeded to preach a sermon on "Blank and the
Gospel. "
During their early years the family went through
Indian troubles and had to be on guard at all times.
One night while Joshua was away on business, Juli-
ette heard sounds outside the house that sounded like
marauding Indians. She took the gun down, went to
the door and shot into the darkness. Next morning
there was a trail of blood that had been left by a
fleeing Indian.
While working in a sawmill, Joshua had the misfort-
une to cut the fingers off one hand. The wound did
not heal very readily and the pain was intense.
A physician advised that he take his mind off the pain
by studying mathematics. Having always been an avid
student, he took up the study and soon became an ex-
pert mathematician. During this time of healing he
also attended the Brigham Young Academy in Provo and
taught school in the city. He also taught in the comm-
unities south of Provo and in Kanosh, Ut.
The children were still quite young when Juliette
became critically ill with consiomption and doctors
advised there was nothing more they could do for her.
It was winter time, but her faith was such that she
knew that if the men would cut the ice from the river
and baptize her there that she would get well. At her
insistence it was done. She survived.
During the latter years of his life Joshua was
stricken with cancer of the stomach. The last year he
lived in Manti, Ut. , where he built harnesses and spent
140 HERITAGE
a great deal of time in the Manti Temple.
After Joshua's death Juliette moved to Wayne Co.,
where her brother and two of her married children
lived. When a child, she had the misfortune to have
lye spilt in one eye. Of course, it took the sight of
that eye and left her handicapped to an extent. In
spite of this, she was a fine seamstress. She liked
to embroider and to make beautiful quilts. To supp-
ort herself and her two minor sons she spun yarn and
knit garments from the wool the boys were able to
gather.
About 1899 Juliette went to Huntington, Ut. , to
take care of her invalid father, William BURGESS, who
had become bedfast with rheumatism, caring for him
until he died. She then md (2) Zenos Wing DODGE
and moved with him to Mesquite, Nev., where they
raised a large garden and made yearly trips to Utah
to sell the produce. In 1903 they moved back to
Thurber (Bicknell) Ut. , for a short time, leaving
there at the invitation of Juliette's three sons
who had taken up homesteads on the Reservation in
Duchesne Co., Ut. The boys built her a house and
provided for her there until her death in 1917.

Esther CHIDESTER was a very young child when she
crossed the plains with her family. She grew up dur-
ing the hard, hungry pioneering years in Spanish Fork
and Parley's Park, Utah, and was living in Salt Lake
City, a girl of 15 years, when a neighboring boy court-
ed her. Small and winsome, she was mature for her
years. Pioneer life had made her so.
William PULSIPHER, eight years her senior, had been
called by the prophet Brigham Young, to go to Southern
14 2 HERITAGE
Utah as a missionary to explore and settle the count-
ry. He was reluctant to leave as a single man for he
didn't know when he would be able to come back. Be-
sides he was in love with Esther. He proposed marr-
iage to her but she thought she was too young to leave
her parents so far behind. Anyway, she wasn't quite
ready to take on the responsibilities of married life
in so primitive circumstances. William persisted, fin-
ally taking her on his knee and telling her that he
would not let her go until she consented. He also
promised that if she would say yes that he would never
go into polygamy. At this, she capitulated and the
young couple was married in the Endowment House with
Esther's father, John Madison Chidester (a former
Branch President of Spanish Fork,) performing the
ceremony.
For a time in Sou t hern Utah their home was the
covered wagon in which they had made the trip south.
Esther cooked their meals on a camp fire. Often she
would ride with her husband as he cared for the cattle
they had accummulated; then again, she was left to her
own devices at camp. These times were hard for her,
and frightening, for there was the ever-present threat
of Indians who, although they were not war-like, were
still a problem. They had no conception of the mean-
ing of private property and would take anything they
fancied.
Realizing her fear, William made a pact with the
chief that during his absence no Indian would molest
the young woman, saying that she was afraid of them.
He gave the chief a pony and saddle to bind the bargain.
Not many days later as Esther was working in the wagon
she heard an Indian singins, "Wait For the Wagon and
We'll all take a Ride." Frightened, she quickly cover-
ed herself with a blanket and lay still hoping that he
would go away. As he continued to stay by the fire
outside, Esther finally concluded that the best thing
to do was to pretend that she was not frightened and
see what would happen. She left the wagon and went to
sit on the opposite side of the fire from the Indian.
In a little bit the Indian got up and came to sit be-
side her and began telling her the Indian names of var-
ious objects.
When William returned the Indian said, "You say
your squaw afraid. She no afraid, she brave." After
that he came every day to converse with her and teach
her his language. From this beginning Esther became
fluent in the Ute, Piute, Navajo, Mexican and Spanish
languages.
i
HERITAGE 143
After they had built a cabin, probably in Hebron,
Esther had another experience that frightened her.
William was away and she was alone with the children.
A tribe of Indians surrounded the cabin. Some got up
on the roof and beat tom-toms, damaged the roof and
made wild noises. Esther got her pistol, loaded it
and started for the door, intending to shoot if ne-
cessary. She was an excellent marksman and would not
have missed her target. Suddenly the disturbance ceas-
ed and she felt sure that someone was approaching.
Sure enough, William had been warned of impending
trouble and had returned home. He grabbed the first
brave he could reach and jounced him up and down on
a pile of rocks, continuing until the brave begged
for mercy. William's superior strength earned him
the respect and love of the natives.
William was a shrewd business man and fearless in
all his transactions. Soon, he owned ranches near
Hebron, Clover Valley, and Beaver Dam, Nevada. For
a time he had mining interests in Pioche, Nevada, but
eventually sold them without realizing anything for
them. There was a fine home in St. George where the
family lived in the winter time, but the summers were
spent on one of the ranches where they made butter
and cheese for sale.
The first sewing machine in the country was a
Howe which William bought for his wife. She became
very proficient in its use and when her husband was
away on business she would do sewing for others, mak-
ing suits, hemming yards of ruffles. When paid for
the work she would exchange the money for $2.50 gold
pieces which she kept in a little box.
Esther and William loved to go to Salt Lake City
for the conferences there, taking a week each way over
"the worst roads in this country," said Esther. Each
night they made a bonfire and had a hot supper and the
next morning there would be a hot breakfast. During
conference they camped close to the tabernacle area.
A mid-wife tended Esther at the birth of each of
her children. When the fourth one was to be born
Esther had been sick for 36 hours. Her father-in-
law, Zera PULSIPHER, worried about her condition,
covered her body by pulling her night clothes down
over her feet, then taking her by the feet, stood her
on her head, shaking her vigorousely. Then he laid
her down and said, "There, my girl, you will be all
right." It was not long until the baby was born.
A prevalent practice among the poor Indian tribes
144 HERITAGE
of Utah and Colorado was to sell their children, us-
ually to traders along the old Spanish Trail. Norm-
ally the traders took these children to California or
Mexico where they sold them into slavery. After the
Mormons settled the area, many of the children were
purchased by Mormon families who raised them and, when
they reached their majority, gave them a dower to be-
gin life with. Sometimes the first one to obtain the
child wouldn't be able to keep him and would in turn
be re-imbursed for the purchase price by another
family.
While the Pulsipher children were still small, Will-
iam purchased a little six-year-old girl from a fam-
ily that had not been able to care for her. Her hair
was matted to her head, her clothes dirty and unkempt.
The night that he brought little Susan home, Esther
bathed her, cut her hair and cleaned her, then sat up
during the night to make new clothes for the child.
Little Susie was so happy about the new circumstance
that she looked into Esther's face and said, "Are you
going to be my new Mother? Please don't let anyone
ever take me away ! " As she grew up she became a good
cook and her services were welcome everywhere. She
remained in St. George when the family moved north.
In a like manner, Amos was obtained and raised by
the Pulsiphers.
In the spring of 1875 William was called on a miss-
ion to the Pacific Islands. He had a great deal of
property but not much ready cash. The family did not
consider that he wouldn't go. Esther got her cash box
out and turned over the accummulated gold pieces for
him to use. He was gone for a period of only eight
months for he was sick most of the time and had to be
released. In the meantime Esther took care of the many
family interests. Her sister Eunice had been widowed
so Esther invited her to come and stay with her, for
she was to give birth to another child soon and would
need help. There was no one Esther trusted more than
she did this older sister.
William arrived home 16 Dec 1875; the baby was
born the next day.
Back home William quickly recovered his strength
and soon was again riding the range. Along the old
Spanish Trail bandits were as much a problem as were
the Indians and they had hideouts in the wild south-
ern mountains. Indians and outlaws alike respected
this fearless man. One day when he and Jacob HAMBLIN
were riding at the mouth of a big canyon they saw five
Indians on the war path. William had a gun called a
HERITAGE 14 5
"needly" gun. You could touch a lever or spring and
three long spears would come out, one on each side of
the barrel and one straight out the center. William
worked it so fast that it frightened the Indians.
They wanted to examine it, but William said he would
show it to them. To Jacob HAMBLIN he said, pointing to
the Indians:
"I'll get this one and this one and that one with
the gun and the next one with my dagger. You take
care of the other one." The Indians left and didn't
bother t he men again.
William would trade horses to the Indians for pine
nuts and buckskin. There were always plenty of nuts
for the family and Esther made clothes out of the buck-
skin.
Ben TASKER was a noted outlaw of the area. He
and his gang had a hideaway in the southern mountains.
From there they would steal anything they could get —
from household goods to cattle and horses. William
was a thorn in the side of the lawless gang. He was
fearless in his pursuit of them and was instrument-
al in having a number of them arrested.
Once, when he and Esther had been out to obtain
berries for canning, he saw a dust ahead and knew that
the Tasker gang was driving the horses he had heard
about having been stolen. He got down from the buggy
and prepared to mount the saddle pony he always took
with him, instructing his wife to drive home alone
while he went after the thieves. Esther, realizing
the danger he would be placing himself in, also dis-
mounted from the buggy and refused to move a step un-
til he came along. She knew it would be foolish for
him to try to capture the desperadoes by himself.
As they neared St. George she finally said that
she would drive on alone provided he would ride the
pony into town and get help. This he did and the
thieves were captured. One of the captured men swore
that this would be the last time Bill Pulsipher would
ever arrest him for he would kill him the first chance
he got.
Ben TASKER felt the same way and sent word to Will-
iam that he would be killed on sight. William didn't
know what TASKER looked like so decided to find out.
He had been riding the range one day. It was late.
Bill was tired and found himself close to Deseret
Springs (Mesquite) in an area known to be close to the
Tasker ranch. He rode up to the ranch house, tether-
ed his horse, then approached and knocked on the door.
146 HERITAGE
A man who was known to Bill, opened the door. In
amazement, he said, "What are you doing here? Are
you acquainted with Tasker?"
"That is my business here," said Bill. Leading
him through the room filled with men, the man took
Bill to the far end and said,
"Mr. Ben TASKER, allow me to make you acquainted
with Mr. William PULSIPHER."
Bill said, "Mr. Ben TASKER, I understand that you
are going to kill me on sight."
"Oh, no," said the wary Ben, "I wouldn't do that.
You are my best friend. You keep my animals from being
stolen."
A good supper was ordered and a bed made for the
visitor. Tasker made it a point to place his gun and
scabbard on a cupboard — the first time he had ever been
known to be separated from them. William laid his own
weapons beside them, saying that he was not in the hab-
it of carrying them except out on the range.
The man who knew William slept with him that night.
William was so tired that he was soon fast asleep. Dur-
ing the night he had a ht^htmare that caused him to
utter a terrible yell. The household awakened and was
nervous. Bill asked pardon and promptly fell alseep
again but Tasker was sure there had been a posse out-
side and this was a pre-arranged signal. When morning
came a good breakfast was served and Tasker took his
visitor on a tour of the place, showing him the excep-
tional storage facilities.
There was one thing William was to regret. He had
a difficult time realizing that his sons were growing
up. Young William Jr. began keeping company with
some young people of whom his father did not approve.
William Sr. scolded and threatened and finally gave
his son a whipping. Young William would not submit.
He left home. The father's intolerance estranged the
older boys so that they had gone on their own and
were serving other men as cow hands and catching and
breaking horses for sale. So it was that, when Will-
iam succumbed to exposure, contracted pneiimonia and
died, neither of the boys was there to help Esther to
assiome the heavy burden of operating so vast a ranch-
ing business.
In 1882 Esther applied for a release from the Cott-
on Mission to which she had been called so many years
ago. The two older boys had their own stock and could
not help with the ranch, so all property was sold and
Esther moved her family to Provo, Ut. , where there
would be better facility for educating the children.
HERITAGE 147
After she was settled there Willie and John took turns
coming to Provo to attend school in the winter time.
Esther bought a large lot in central Provo and
ordered a home built. When she moved in with her four
little girls, she found the home to be much too big so
she turned it into a hotel. For a number of years it
was known as the Pulsipher House and was a favorite
boarding place for students at the Academy. It was
later to be known as the Oxidental Hotel.
Willie came to attend school. Some of his southern
friends, thinking to have a little fun, wrote to Dr.
Karl G. MAESER and asked him to teach Willie to pray.
In a morning assembly Dr. Maeser called on Willie to
open with prayer. Willie, seeing no way to escape,
arose and began by saying, "Oh, Lord, bless - bless-
who?" A girl in the audience called out, "Bro.
Maeser." Willie continued, "Brother Maeser, Amen."
and sat down. He was asked to pray every morning for
a week. He then told his mother that he could now
pray with the best.
After her marriage to Mr. SNOW, Esther sold the
house in town and moved to Provo Bench where she had
farm land surrounding a large house. The children
grew up there and attended school, all receiving the
fine education their mother had planned for them. It
was a great sorrow to her when Willie died so young.
He had been her main support and they were very close
to each other in those last years. She had won him
back completely and they enjoyed being together.
Her home was the central interest of her children.
She loved to have the children gather around the old
organ and play and sing during the evening. When her
sister Eunice was visiting they would enjoy singing the
old songs together and reminiscing about their lives
in Southern Utah, telling jokes, relating special
instances, re-living their times good and bad. Her
daughters had the highest regard for her and would care
for her all her days. A wonderful wife and mother,
and a worthy daughter. Her life's motto: Honesty is
the best policy.

A youth of eleven when the family moved to Washing-
ton, Utah, and the only child still with the parents,
was not a bad situation for young Willard Darwin CHID-
ESTER. He enjoyed roaming the countryside in search
of quail and rabbit for dinner. At that early age he
was assisting his father, also, in the carpentry shop
and before too long he was going with older brothers
to Pine Valley to burn charcoal which was then freight-
ed out to the wool and cotton mills and to Silver Reef
Mine to be used in the smelter there.
Willard became most proficient in the latter pro-
cess which was a matter of delicate timing. A huge
mound of green trees was formed by standing the trees
close together with the right cover of twigs and green
branches to hold the fire in and still allow the whole
thing to smoulder for about ten to fifteen days. There
would be a walkway toward the center of the mound to
HERITAGE 149
be used for inspection trips by someone wearing pro-
tective clothing. If the burning was too fast, the
air would be cut down to slow the process and allow
the fire to seep through the green logs to complete
the burning throughout the mound. At the completion
of the task the fire would be extinguished either
by spraying the fire with water or throwing soft
dirt on it. It took skill to regulate the burning
process and recognize the point of completion so that
the residue would be charcoal and not ashes.
The untimely death in childbirth, of his lovely
young wife was a great tragedy to this sensitive
young man. For several years he went listlessly about
the business of living, not being able to content him-
self at any one thing or in one place. Mostly, he
did freighting, hauling goods to the railroad and
bringing other goods back to the people of southern
Utah. Some times he hauled rock salt from St. Thomas,
Nev. , to the Silver Reef Mine above St. George. The
salt was used as a flux in the smelting process. And
he burned charcoal.
Eventually he was attracted to young, lively Caro-
line GUBLER, and after their marriage life took on new
meaning. T he assets of the young couple were very
limited, consisting of a few peices of furniture, one
span of horses with their patched harness and a sec-
ond hand wagon, but they were young and their hopes
were high.
Willard settled down to farming and soon had a
five acre tract of land on the south side of the Virgin
River where he produced five crops of alfalfa each
year. There was a garden and orchard on the north
side of Washington and there were ten prosperous , hap-
py years.
The growing family soon began to demand greater
assets and soon Willard was augmenting his income by
freighting again. By this time he had sons who were
old enough to take along for company and help. How
the boys enjoyed those times, camping out with their
Father, having the chance to see trains and even be
lifted up into the cab to see how it worked!
Then came the time when reports of free land and
greater opportunity in Idaho enticed the family to move.
The decision made, the family began to dispose of
all they owned except for the necessary items that
would be packed into two wagons. Besides the two
teams and wagons , there was a saddle pony that was
to be kept saddled each day of the trip and used for
scouting the way. There was also a 22 calibre rifle
150 HERITAGE
attached to the saddle to meet emergencies or provide
extra meat for the meals on the way.
The trip was begun 1 May 1902. The long, dreary
journey was nearly all in desert country and was to
take a month. At Wells, Nevada, the family ran out of
bread that had been baked before they left Washington.
Willard sent into town and bought some "store" bread.
It was so light and spongy and tasted so different
from the bread they had always had that the children
marvelled. Somewhere along the way they were also
treated to some store candy, the first they had ever
had that was not made at home out of honey or molass-
es. That was a real treat to the starry-eyed child-
ren.
When the Snake river was reached it was found that
they must cross it by ferry just above the Shoshone
Falls. The ferry would accommodate the two wagons,
but they were so heavily loaded with stuff packed on
the outside as well as the inside that the ferryman
had difficulty shutting the gate. He refused to move
until he had devised a way to anchor the wagons suff-
iciently that he could close the rail, saying that
he had tried to take a chance once and had lost a
wagon that was swept over the falls. He wouldn't take
a chance again.
It was 2 June, 1902 when the weary family pulled
into Carey, Idaho and camped that first night. When
Bishop Cyrus J. STANFORD, with whom Willard had corr-
esponded concerning the Idaho prospects, learned who
the travelers were, an invitation was sent to the
family suggesting that they enjoy the evening meal in
the Bishop's home. What a treat that was to people
who had been camping for a month! Fresh strawberries
and cream and delicious vegetables fresh from the gard-
en.
The first three years in Carey, Willard and his
sons operated a farm on shares. Then they took up a
homestead of their own, which they proved up on and
seemed to be well established at last. To be prepar-
ed to meet a threatened drought the entire valley was
bonded to build a reservoir on Fish Creek. Drought
came, all right, but the reservoir never filled. The
Chidesters, along with many others, lost their entire
investment and had to move back into town. Fortun-
ately, by this time, the children were old enough to
obtain jobs and help defray family expenses. The old-
est son was dead, but the next in age obtained good
employment and the next taught school one year and
HERITAGE 151
then went into a bank job.
In 1911 Willard and his wife, Caroline, and young-
est daughter, Christa, accompanied the t hird daughter,
Laver ne and her husband Oscar L. JOHNSON, to Deweyville,
Utah to attend a family reunion. They visited many of
their friends and relatives, some of whom they had not
seen in all the years they had lived in Idaho. Bro-
ther David and his wife were there and many others from
the south.
Again in 1917, they were able to attend a reunion,
this time in Richfield, Utah. It was October. The
harvests were in and everyone could take the time to
visit. On his return to Idaho, Willard expressed his
pleasure in the trip. It was the finale to his life
of hard knocks and varied experience. He died sudden-
ly, 8 Nov 1917.

Adelbert Byron Chidester 's great regret was that
the early death of his father prevented him from con-r
tinuing the long line of doctors to which he was born,
He obtained an education through high school at var-
ious places in Syracuse and Watertown, N.Y., fin-
ally settling on Genesee St., Syracuse, where he
went to work carrying staves to men who were mak-
ing salt beds. After a bit he worked for Dr. Merr-
it B. FAIRCHILD nights and morning, tending the
horse and cleaning the office.
In 1883 he went to Rome, N.Y., to work for his
uncle, David Jerome WIGGINS, who had a furniture
store and was an undertaker. After a time he re-
turned to Syracuse where he obtained employment with
Austin K. HOYT, the leading undertaker of the city.
His next job was at the YMCA as the first assist-
166 HERITAGE
ant general secretary for the new building under
Rev. A. S. DURSTON, the general secretary in
Saugerties, 1888. By 1895 he was back again in
the furniture and undertaking business. He served
the town of Lyons, Syracuse and Dexter for twenty-
eight years.
He was a charter member of Dexter Lodge, A.F. and
M. , chapter at Sackett Harbor. His wife, Mary Hale
CHIDESTER, was active in the Order of Eastern STAR
at Syracuse and member of White Shrine of Jerus-
alem in Water town, N.Y. Both were devout Metho-
dists.
Adelbert had a great love for his family and kept
a journal record of every member, turning it over
to his son Augustus. He loved his children and when
six year old Ruth died he expressed his love and
grief by writing:
"Ruth, a precious little darling whom the Lord
loved and took to his loving bosom April 18, 1898.
Oh, how can we spare you, Ruthie, our dear, prec-
ious darling! You are safe in the arms of Jesus
and never feel the sins and hardships of this life.
You walk the streets of gold and those feet step
along so pretty and that happy face beams with
praises to the Lord. .We will have to come to you.
God keep us pure that we may, dear Ruthie, lovely
Ruthie." Written 8 Aug 1901

John Foy CHIDESTER was a lad of ten when he moved
with his parents to Washington, Ut. There were no
doubt times when he went hungry in that harsh land
but the resiliency of youth carried him through the
growing-up years. The family was close-knit, work-
HERITAGE 169
ing together in every venture. They were a fun-lov-
ing family, too, and always found challenging things
to be involved in and to enjoy.
It could have been the violin that his Uncle Dav-
id brought home from his wagon train call that in-
pired John to learn to play that instrument. He was
a natural born musician and learned to play his "fi-
ddle" very well. He may have had some training but
in the main he was self-taught. His musical gift
and his ready wit made him a favorite in all surr-
ounding communities as well as at home and as he
grew into manhood he organized a band and played
for weekly dances around the countryside. In the
summer time the favorite dance spot was in the open
air on the old Shinarump ledge. This huge rock, out
by the Virgin river had been worn flat and smooth
by the flailing of the grain harvest each year. Event-
ually it would lose its recreational allure as it
was flooded by the waters backed up from the dam
John's father built, but for many years it was a spot
of fun and relaxation.
As a youth John worked hard on the farm and in
the cotton factory, taking advantage always of every
opportunity for education. He did not have a chance
to go away to college but he read everything he
could find and became a well educated man.
His first marriage was to Mary NICOLL, a girl
who had grown up in the same community, daughter of
pioneer parents. The ceremony was performed by his
father, John Peck Chidester, who was a member of
the Bishopric of Washington Ward. The young couple
went to Clover Valley to make their first home,
farming there for a few years until the territory
was claimed by the state of Nevada. When they
moved back to Washington they were a family of
three, their first child having been born in Clover
Valley. Eventually they purchased the Nicoll home,
Mary's parents having accepted a call to settle
what came to be known as St. Johns, Arizona.
They were very happy in this home and seemed to
be well on the way to propserity. John was elect-
ed to be constable of the county and proved to be
a most effecient and dedicated officer of the law.
Mary worried about him when he was away on danger-
ous missions but John thrived on the work and began
to acquire a taste for law and order that would shape
his life.
He was relentless in his search for "bad men, of
whom there were a number. One time he pursued a
^^Q HERITAGE
a Mexican desperado. Catching up with him, a scuffle
ensued and John received a serious dagger wound in
the abdomen. He secured the man and while taking
him to jail, had to hold the edges of his own wound
together to keep his vital organs from protruding.
It took a while to recover from that episode!
All court trials for the southern part of the
territory were held in Beaver, Ut. , quite some dist-
ance from Washington. If he had a prisoner being
held for trial it was John's duty to transport such
prisoner to Bea-ver. At these times he would take
his team and wagon, load up provisions for man and
beast, and be gone from home for a week or two.
In Dec. 1882, as he was returning home from one
of these trips, he was met by a messenger who in-
formed him of the serious illness of his wife.
Lovely Mary had never been really robust and at
this time was carrying their fourth child. Now
she was ill with pneumonia. In his anxiety for
his wife, John decided that wagon travel was too
slow. He tied one horse to the wagon, gave him
an ample supply of food and water, mounted the
other horse and raced for home. He would send
someone else back to get the rest of his outfit.
With the tender care that John and his mother,
Susan Foy Chidester, gave to Mary, she was able to
improve sufficiently to complete the term of her
pregnancy. But in January, still weak from pneu-
monia and the ordeal of giving birth, she passed
away.
John was beside himself with grief. His mother
took care of him and the older children and a sis-
ter, Lodema Chidester Ruby, took the baby to nurse
with her own child.
Time has a way of dulling the pain of such sorr-
ow and eventually John began to take an interest in
law and studied in earnest. This interest led him
over the hills to Panguitch, Utah, where he met a
fine young woman who promised to love him and be a
mother to his four children. They were married in
the St. George Temple and the family moved to Pang-
uitch where John could continue his legal studies.
The move was a difficult one for the older child-
ren. They did not want to leave the home they had
loved and the memories of their mother. They didn't
want to leave gentle, sweet Grandma Chidester who
had taken Mother's place. There would be some
friction between them and the girl who was to raise
them, but John insisted that his family should be
HERITAGE 171
"one" and be with him. Soon they all adjusted to
the new situation.
Making law his vocation, John read Kent, Black-
stone and other coininentaries and came to be known
as one of the best versed men in law in the state
of Utah. He was admitted to practice before the
Utah bar in 1885. Later he was admitted to pract-
ice before the Supreme bench of the state.
Early in the year 1889, John was called to go
on a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints, to serve in the Southern States.
He was to travel without purse or script and his
family would have to be self-supporting. He and
Almina were expecting their third child and there
were four older children.
Almina moved to Panguitch Lake and worked on
a ranch there making butter and cheese on shares.
The times were hard for them. Many times the child-
ren cried with hunger, but they managed to survive
and at times she could even send a small amount of
money to John. The children learned to appreciate
the sterling worth of this girl who had taken on
such heavy responsibilities.
Life in the mission was equally hard for the
young man. At one time he and his companion were
without food for three days. John received twenty-
five cents from his wife and with that the two men
bought a watermelon and made it last for another
three days. There were times when he and companion
had to leave a house by the back door and hide in
corn fields to avoid mob action.
Called to come to headquarters for a conference,
the two missionaries wondered how they could do it
in the time allotted. They had no money for trans-
portation and the distance was too great to walk.
They retired to a grove of trees and knelt in pray-
er. A sheriff came up and arrested them for, he
said, the robbery of a post office and murder of
the postmaster, saying that the two men fit the des-
cription given by witnesses to the crime. After a
day or so in jail, the sheriff released them saying
that the real culprits had been found. To compen-
sate for the false arrest, he gave them money for
a railroad ticket to any place they would name.
They got to their conference.
Returning home, John continued his law practice
and was a veteran lawyer of about ten years exper-
ience when the territory became a state and John
172 HERITAGE
was caught up in all the problems of creating a
new state. He was a member of the Constitution-
al Convention and while there made a determined
effort in behalf of women's suffrage and other
progressive measures. Afterward he was elected
senator from Garfield County to the first general
assembly in Utah in 1896, where he participated
in the formulation of public policy and interests.
After his term expired he was elected district
attorney for the sixth judicial district , which
position he held for a number of years. He was a
recognized leader of the Republican party, serving
as the^- first chairman of Garfield County. In 1902
he was appointed Judge of the sixth judicial dist-
rict and later was elected tc" that office, which
he held for ten years. During '--this itime he had
only one decision ever reversed - that of a negro
for murder. He was then acting in place of a judge
from Salt Lake who had been disqualified. Some
time later the original decision was honored.
In 1912 he was appointed to the state land board,
holding that position until his death. One comment-
ary said, "Throughout the entire period c' his
course was marked by the most earnest devotion to
duty — a devotion that manifested itself in close
study of every vital situation or problem and un-
faltering effort to bring about the best results
for the commonwealth."
His church activity was equally as impressive.
Besides his mission, he served as Sunday School
superintendent and as high councilman. He was call-
ed to travel for a time throughout the southern
part of the state to teach and encourage the adopt-
ion of the Mutual Improvement Organization, for the
benefit of the youth of the Churhc.
He built a large home in Panguitch, which became
a community center in the town. He also lead out in
the developing of Panguitch Lake as a recreational
resort. He maintained a cabin there; built a race
track and dance hall and sponsored civic events for
every holiday.
By 1906 the beautiful home in Panguitch had been
turned into a hotel and Judge Chidester moved his
family to Richfield where he owned a large farm. His
home there became the gathering place of the Chid-
ester clan that had by this time Ldivided and moved
to various places in Utah and Idaho. It was then
that he originated the custom of meeting in family
HERITAGE ^__
reunions. Being the oldest son of an oldest son,
he had kept the genealogical record that his father
and grandfather had begun, and continued the re--
search. He spent part of each year in St. George
for that purpose. He thoroughly believed, also,
that a family should be kept together, know each
other and enjoy themselves. At these reunions there
was always plenty of food, lots of laughter and
general love and camraderie. One year it would be
held at John's home. He and his wife would cook and
prepare well ahead. Beds would be made everywhere.
The next year it would be held in Deweyville, Utah,
so all the folks up north v/ould be sure to come. At
that time he would do all he could to see that the
folks down south were able to get there.
An evaluation of him, quoted from t he book,
"Utah Since Statehood.":
"He was a man of jovial, kindly disposition,
who easily made friends by reason of his sterling
personal worth and always retained their warm friend-
ship and regard. He was steadfast and honorable,
kindly and helpful and his enemies and political
opponents never once, even in the heat of party pol-
itics, questioned his integrity. He was charitable
to a degree but without ostentation, and so quietly
were his good deeds performed that ofttimes none
knew of them save himself and the recipients. He
was every inch a man and one in whose death southern
Utah lost a most valuable citizen, the bar an ill-
ustrious member and many poor families a generous
friend. It has been said, 'Not the good that comes
to us but the good that comes to the world through
us is the measure of our success,' and judged by
this standard, John Foy CHIDESTER was a most succ-
essful man. "

Susan Emma CHIDESTER, a Sketch by Herself.
T was born 2 Dec 1857, in Spanish Fork, Utah. . .
the daughter of John Peck and Susan Foy CHIDESTER.
My father was out in Echo Canyon at the time
Johnston's Army was coming to Utah to get rid of
the Mormons. Shortly after that we moved to a place
HERITAGE 17 5
called Parley's Park, then back to Salt Lake City.
In 1861 my Father was called to take his family and
help settle Dixie in southern Utah. Here we made
our home, living in Washington, Ut. I remember many
of the hardships the pioneers went through in those
early days. I was taught to spin and weave cloth ,
made candles and colored cloth with the roots that
grew around there. At the age of fifteen I was
chosen a teacher in the Sunday School in Washington
Ward. I was married on Mar. 22, 1875, to George
Carlos DEWEY, at Washington, Ut; and that summer we
lived on what was called the cotton farm. My hus-
band had been called on a mission to Dixie to raise
cotton.
In the fall he was released and we went to Dewey-
ville and staid one year. Our first child was born
there. We later went back to Washington.
I was chosen secretary of the Relief Society short-
ly after our return. Was also counselor in the Prim-
ary and President for two years.
We moved back to Deweyville and my husband was
called to be Bishop of Deweyville Ward. I was cho-
sen counselor in the Relief Society, which position
I held with different presidents until I was called
to work on the Bear River Stake Relief Society Board.
I was also chosen first Superintendent of the Reli-
gion Class in Deweyville. This was in 1906 or 1907.
After being released from the Relief Society
Board .1 spent twenty-one months in Los Angeles at
the home of my daughter, Mrs. M. L. Sandall. I then
spent two years in Caliente, Nevada, taking care of
an aged aunt . "
In addition to raising a family and doing the
things she told about, Susan spent a great deal of
time caring for the sick. She died at the home of
her sister, Mrs. Andrew SPROUL, in Washington, but
was returned to Deweyville for burial.

Lodema Chidester RUBY assisted other members of
the family in the work of the cotton factory in Wash-
ington and in the culture of silk worms, learning all
the skills necessary to life in a pioneering comm-
unity. After her marriage she became a practicing
mid-wife, which service she performed for many years.
Because she was willing, in 1883, to wet-nurse her
brother's motherless child, along with her own infant,
she saved the life of Mary Aseneth CHIDESTER.
Amasa RUBY was postmaster in Washington from 1905
to 1909.

City, where they opened a successful pie shop. The
death of her mother brought another change in Peggy's
life for she sold the shop and went on a mision for
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, serv-
ing in England. While there she spent a great deal of
time doing genealogical research, concentrating on
her mother's family.
Returning to Utah, Peggy took a beauty course and
eventually opened a shop of her own in Midvale, Ut.
Her free time was spent in visiting elderly relat-

whatever else she could to bring comfort and peace to
those she visited.
Our lovely Peggy!

Myron A. CHIDESTER learned to play the violin
when he was a youngster. He was witty, too, and
when things got dull in the old cotton factory in
Washington, Myron could be depended on to liven
things up. With his older brother, John Foy Chid-
ester, he had an orchestra and was in great demand
at all socials, not only in Washington, but trav-
eling to neighboring communities.
All of southern Utah regretted his decision to
move away, but the time came when he decided to
look for greater opportunity elsewhere and moved
to Deweyville, Ut, up north, where he established
a fine farm and soon had another circle of friends
to delight with his music.

wove wool into clothes for the family until the
cotton factory was built. Then she spent a great

precious floss into skeins. She frolicked with her
brothers and sisters at home and in the civic affairs.

When Samuel Hood Murray STEWART came to town it
wasn't long until she fell in love and was married
to him.
Samuel had been studying to be a Catholic Priest
in his Scottish homeland when he heard the mission-
aries. He listed to their message and joined the
Church, whereupon his parents disowned him. He
left Scotland with an Elder MATHESON and migrated
to Parowan, Ut. He worked there and in Cedar City,
then because of his early scholastic training, be-
came a school teacher and was hired to teach in Wash-
ington.
In April 1888, Samuel was called to be a mission-
ary in the Northwest Mission. While he was gone Em-
eline supported herself and child by making hats for
sale, sewing for others and taking care of the post
office. On special holidays she made ice cream to
sell.
Before he was released from his mission, Samuel
was called to serve in the Washington Ward bishop-
ric. Later he ran for the state senate but lost by
a few votes. He served as justice of the peace in
Washiiigton.
After his untimely death, Emeline married Joseph
SYLVESTER, a widower, and lived in Pintura and To-
querville, enjoying the opportunity to raise her
family in the peace of a farm.

Eveline CHIDESTER was always aware of and
interested in her family. As a youth she help-
ed her father and older brother with the records and
research. It was only natural that when her bro-
ther, John F. Chidester, passed away, that she should
take the records over and really become the family
center. For many years and at her own expense, she
researched and added to the store of family knowledge,
Her home in Washington was also a social center
of the town. Andrew Sproul was musically inclined
and for many years was the best choir director in
in all of southern Utah. The family was a gifted
one and their talenrs and ready wit enlivened every
civic and church activity.

In the settlement of the John Peck Chidester
estate, the old Chidester home in Washington came
into the possession of Lucinda Jane. The land had
been divided among the other children, but this
youngest of the family was the last to live in the
home. In later years her children had the place re-
modelled so that there was an indoor toilet and
shower bath; a sink in the kitchen with running
water there. Other than that the place remained
the same, the walls and attic whispering the stories
of family fun and solidarity. No doubt Lucinda
remembered with tenderness the times when she climb-
ed to the attic to tend the silk worms housed there,
or raced to the cotton mill to set the looms to
work. She and James were content to remain in Wash-
ington to keep alive the legend of the Chidesters.

Oliver John HARMON, as a youth, walked five miles
each way to go to school in St. George, Ut; He ex-
hibited such a desire for an education that one of
his teachers offered him the chance to attend school
in Beaver for two years, working out his tuition,
board and room. His father died when he was but
fourteen years old and he had to assume part of the
responsibility of supporting the family. He didn't
get to Beaver.
In 1879 he was apprenticed to Mr. Joseph JUDD to
learn the trade of cabinet-maker, serving there for
two years until his marriage to Almira TERRY. The
young couple built a small house in Washington, liv-
ing there for two years before moving to Provo, Ut. ,
in 1883. Oliver took a few music lessons and learn-
ed to play the piccolo. He enjoyed playing for his
children and they enjoyed listening.
In 1885 he decided to move to Huntington, Ut, a
new area that was beginning to be settled. His
worldly possessions consisted of one Singer sew-
ing machine, one Charter Oak cook stove, one wooden
bed, a few dishes, one hundred pounds of flour; cash
on hand amounted to $2.50.
Arrived in Huntington, they found a community con-
sisting of eleven small log houses, two rough lumber
shanties and a few dugouts. When Almira saw what
they had come to she cried as though her heart was
broken. She plead with her husband to return to
Washington where their house had not yet been sold.
But Oliver talked her into staying for three years
to give it a chance before returning to Washington.
The log houses were roofed with slabs or small
poles on which a layer of willows was placed and
then covered with a heavy layer of dirt. Many times
the heavy rains caused leaks all over the inside.
Three days after their arrival Oliver took sick
with rheiamatism and lay helpless for the next four
months. During this sick spell one of the discour-
aged settlers who owned a half block on which he
had built one of the frame shanties, loaded his fam-
ily in a wagon and left, returning to Washington.
When he got there he traded his property in Hunt-
ington for the Harmon home in Washington.
In the fall of 1887, Don ROBBINS came to Hunting-
ton trying to promotec the mining of coal. He became
184 HERITAGE
very friendly with Oliver and the two soon bought
out a small furniture store, with Oliver taking
over the task of building the furniture for sale.
Some of the first coal to be mined in the area was
first burned in the Harmon cook stove. Besides
the furniture business, Oliver pioneered in the
planting of an orchard and soon had fruit of all
kinds for his own family use and some for sale.
Oliver's mother, Eunice Chidester HARMON, came
to live with him in 1888. She set up a millinery
and confectionary store in a small corner of the
furniture store. Later, Oliver built her a little
place of her own.
In 189 0, the WHITNEY brothers had the "Colorado"
fever and sold out. Oliver became the new assist-
ant manager of their business, which became the
Huntington Co-op Store, owned by the town. Oliver
began buying stock as fast as people wanted to sell;
hQ was now making a wage of $60.00 per month,
which was more than ample to sustain his family.
He was doing well enough that in 1893 he was able
to build a two story brick home and at last keep
his growing family in style.
Shortly after he became manager of the Co-op
Store, Oliver's partner in the furniture store acc-
used him of falsifying the records. A Bishop's
trial was called. By use of a small magnifying
glass Oliver was able to prove that ROBBINS had
scratched out the HARMON figures in the books and
written over them to falsify them. Robbins confess-
ed, the trial ended, and so did the Harmon-Robbins
partnership.
In 1894 the settlers launched a move more effect-
ively to take care of their farm produce. A mill
company was organized with Oliver Harmon as one of
the men to do the construction work, taking stock
as part pay. Water power was used to operate the
mill during the summer and steam power was used
during the winter. Oliver gradually acquired add-
itional stock and became Mill Manager.
About 1895 a company was organized in Price to
build a telephone line from Price to Ferron. A
station was put in the store at Huntington and Ol-
iver also extended a telephone line to the mill and
to his home. He continued to manage the Hunting-
ton Co-op and to buy stock in the business.
HERITAGE 185
In 1899 he was called on a mission to the Central
States. He wrote to his older brother, Levi, who
came to purchase some stock and take over the manage-
ment of the store and mill. By the time of Oliver's
return the two brothers held the controlling interest
in both the store and the mill. Levi took over the
management of the store and Oliver retained the mill.
Eventually, together, they built a store in Price, Ut;
sold out in Huntington and moved to Price.
This latest venture did not turn out so well. Levi
was elected to the state legislature and Oliver open-
ed a store in near-by Wellington to which he commut-
ed daily.
Oliver served his community as Justice of the
Peace; was appointed president of the first school
board in Carbon County; filled a term as Emery Cou-
nty commissioner; worked continually in church org-
anizations, as member of a bishopric and stake high
council.
In 1920 he leased the Wellington store and the
following year, with his son, opened a carpentry
shop, doing contract work, building caskets and
other necessary items. After the terrible Castle
Gate Coal mining disaster the two men went into the
undertaking business, their last major venture.

Trained to be a teacher, Melvin Myron Harmon
taught in Leeds and Kanarraville, Ut. The first of
the year 1893, both he and his wife were called on
a mission to the Sandwich Islands where he taught
in the mission school and Alice worked in the mission
kitchen and store. Two of their children were born
there in Hawaii.
Returning to St. George, Melvin became the manag-
er of the co-op store there and was doing well when
he was called on a second mission.
This time Alice and the children remained home.
They had acquired a home and a small farm in the
Washington Fields. When he came back from Hawaii,
Melvin concentrated on his farm and the raising of
fruits and vegetables along with hay and grain for
the cattle. Fruit was most varied of his crops,
consisting of peaches, plums, pears, apricots, pome-
granates, figs, grapes and melons. After providing
for the family needs the balance was sold along with
milk, butter and eggs. That income supported the
financial needs of the family until he was appointed
to be recorder at the St. George Temple, for which
service he received $100.00 per month. He held the
the post for fifteen years.
All of the children received good educations, hold
college degrees and are active in educational circles,

A news item from the Deseret News, 3 July 1897:
"Elder David Chidester of Richfield, returned
from Texas in the Indian Territory Mission field
this morning, for which part of the country he left
home May 11, 1895. He reports the conference in
splendid shape with the Elders laboring diligently
to promulgate gospel principles. The Texas Confer-
ence was opened up June 17, 1893, at which time it
was part of the Southern States Mission."
David was a farmer in Richfield and active in the
church and civic affairs throughout his life.
Excerpts from a tribute paid to Myrtle Chidester,
eldest daughter of the family, written by Elva
SORENSEN, 15 Feb 1971:
"Her's (Myrtle's) was a noble life, unselfish,
kind, charitable. Her patience, thoughtfulness of
others, her sense of duty made her a good friend
and neighbor to all.
"In 1906 her mother passed away leaving six child-
ren. . .the youngest only five months old. At six-
HERITAGE
189
teen, Myrtle assumed the role of mother of the fam-
ily, all except for the baby who was cared for by
the grandparents. She cared for the family in love,
trained them well and they love and honor her mem-
ory. . She had a gift for sewing and sewed for many
people to help with the family expense. I remem-
ber how beautifully she dressed Fern, who always was
a picture of beauty. She helped Santa Claus dress
many dolls in town. Our dolls in those days had
kid bodies and china heads. They were lovely and
needed new wardrobes every year. Myrtle did hem-
stitching, quilting, made over little suits for
the boys; made bedspreads, curtains and drapes.
"In 1926, twenty years after her mother passed
away, she went to Iowa where her sister Fern and
her husband lived. Elmo was manager of J. C. Penn-
ey Co., store. Here she worked for two years until
she earned enough money to pay off an indebtedness
that had occurred because of delinquent taxes. This
was a new experience for Myrtle and she enjoyed be-
ing with Fern and Elmo who made her time there so
happy .
"When she arrived home she found her grandparents
both bed patients. She nursed and cared for them
until they passed away in 1929. Then for a time she
was alteration seamstress for a dress shop in town
and worked part time at the court house. During her
father's lingering illness she gave him loving care.
It was at this time that her brother Roy's daughter
came to live with Miyrtle. . . .Then Evan, Roy's son
lived with her two years, helping her with the chores
and yards. Myrtle was very proud of all of these,
her children. She was always so happy for their
visits, letters, gifts and many acts of love.. .
"A tribute to Roy, who has been so wonderful to
Myrtle, doing her shopping, keeping fuel in the house
for the heater, taking her on little trips in the
car; taking her to church and other meetings, she
could not have attended without his help."

James Madison CHIDESTER, more familiarly known as
"Matt" , was born during the time that Clover Valley
was considered part of Washington County, Ut. Later
it was to be included in the boundaries of the state
of Nevada and the family returned to the St. George
area.
The family lived in a number of places when Matt
HERITAGE 191
was young, While in Leeds he and his father haul-
ed cord wood for the Silver Reef Mine. In Hebron
they tended cattle and fanned. Branching out on
his own, Matt went to Delmar, Nevada to work in the
mines, but finding that the mine dust was very un-
healthy, he returned to work with his father in
St. George. It was here, one summer, that he met
Sarah Jane Casto who was visiting from Salina,
Ut. During that summer, the young people met fre-
quently for picnic outings, usually going to Red
Hill where there was a natural spring and shade trees.
After their marriage they continued to live in
St. George and it was there that their children
were born. Two years after the birth of the last
child, Sarah died, leaving a disconsolate husband
and four children to mourn her passing.
It was not too long, however, before Matt was
fortunate enough to win the consent of Cornelia
TERRY and they were married. At this time he was
working on Kimberly Mountain in a saw mill so the
family moved there for a short time, going from
there to Richfield, Ut. , where Matt's parents had
moved .
Some time between Jan 1910 and Nov 1911 the
family moved to Venice, Ut. , just a short distance
away .
In 1924 Matt moved his family again, this time to
Delta, Ut. , where he acquired a dry farm. To do
so he took out a government loan. For a time
things went well, then the great depression came on
and Matt, along with many others, was unable to
meet his obligations and the farm was lost.
Matt's oldest son, Glen M. was in Salt Lake City
running the Economy Coal Company which was located
on 22nd South and State St. He offered his father
a job if he would move to Salt Lake City.
Matt promptly borrowed a large flat-bed "bee
truck" from a neighbor, corraled the cow in an
area back of the cab, loaded up his possessions
and headed for the big city. His family was quite
grown up by this time — the youngest being already
in the last half of the first grade, while some of
the older ones were married and on their own.
Hauling coal was a very hard job. Coal was the
main means of heating of residences as well as bus-
inesses. Sometimes it had to be carried in sacks
to storage areas that were not accessible by truck.
But the depression was on and Matt was really fort-
192 HERITAGE
unate to have work. The family lived in a
house in back of the coal company for quite some
time, finally moving across State Street to Went-
worth Av into the house that was to be their last
home.
Matt may have moved away from the farm, but the
love of farming did not leave Matt. He continued
to plant a garden in any available space large
enough to raise corn, peas, potatoes and one
could even find a cantaloupe vine growing among the
flowers in the yard. He had chickens and a cow for
as long as he could possibly manage the care of
them. Even when he was unable to sit on a milk
stool he felt he and the cow could work it out
" some way . "
He never looked more natural than when dressed
in a pair of overalls and carried a shovel in his
hand. "Dressing up" for some special occasion,
such as Thanksgiving dinner with the family, meant
putting on his new overalls and a suit jacket. Then
he was ready for anything.
A home loving man. Matt always wanted to be
home by dark. He loved to keep his fireplace a-
blaze and was forever foraging for scrap wood,
stiamps and any material that would keep it that
way. If ever a member of the family had to be
up early on a cold winter morning to be to work,
he or she could count on "Dad" to be up an hour
ahead of time, stoking up the furnace and fireplace
to get the house warm before others had to go out
in the cold.
There was a large family, but depression or not,
they never went hungry. There were not many frills
and luxuries but the necessities were always pro-
vided for. The home was always open to visiting
relatives and friends who were in town for a day
or two, and it seemed to the children that there
was a constant stream of people to be entertained.
As he grew older and could no longer deliver coal.
Matt still kept active working his garden. He also
took on the job of walking eleven blocks to Sugar
House to work in the Deseret Industries plant, ty-
ing bed springs or doing any other task available,
then walking home again at the end of the day.
One day he sti:imbled over a wire fence that was
hidden in the garden weeds. This crippled him and
he was forced to sit around in his easy chair for
a time. He was never again as able to get around
HERITAGE 193
as had been. It was t hen that he began to "grow
old." Eventually he contracted pnexomonia and was
not strong enough to recover. He was buried in the
Wasatch Lawn Cemetery, Salt Lake.
Cornelia Terry CHIDES TER, whom everyone affect-
ionately called "Neely" , was a wonderful helpmate
to her husband. She was mother to a ready-made
family in her youth and raised a large family of
her own. Both families revere her as mother. She
carefully kept a record of each of the children
and their families, always encouraging them and
loving them. She passed away while on a visit to
her youngest daughter. Her body was taken back to
be buried by the side of her husband to whom she
had been so devoted for so long.

The Chidesters spent most of their lives in Bingham
Canyon, Ut. , where Lafayette served as sheriff of
Salt Lake County. While he was sheriff, he was in
the process of arresting some criminals one day and
one of them shot him in the leg. Infection set in
and the leg had to be amputated. He wore an arti-
ficial leg for awhile until it broke. He then made
himself a wooden leg out of a cedar post. He always
walked with a cane.
He had a great sense of humor and could always tell
a funny story to fit any occasion. The following
original story illustrates his vivid imagination and
quick wit:
A group of men were sitting around one evening
bragging about what great teams of horses they own-
ed. Lafe (as he was known by his family and friends)
just sat and listened while the stories became in-
creasingly unbelievable, Finally, one man said his
horses could out-pull any team there because they had
just pulled a very large building several blocks. To
confirm his story he turned to Lafe and asked,
"Isn't that so, Chidester ?"
To which Lafe replied, "Oh, I know that's so
because my horses came right behind them dragging the
basement! "

The first years of their marriage, Joshua worked
at a sawmill in southern Utah. He went hunting
one day and his gun exploded in his face and a piece
of it entered his forehead. He was very ill for over
two years because of this. He continued to have
severe headaches although those around him would never
know because he was very good natured and never com-
plained.
He and family moved to Altonah, Ut. , where he took
up farming. As his headaches became more severe he
finally went to Salt Lake City and had his head oper-
ated on. A steel plate was inserted to relieve the
pressure.
He had a pleasing personality and made friends eas-
ily. While he was in the hospital recuperating
from the operation, he would go from room to room
cheering up the other patients. Just a few days be-
fore he was to be released he contracted spinal men-
ingitis and died.

Enoch md (2) in 1960, Lois Emily Baker Hastings
OLIVER.
A child of nine years at the death of his father,
Enoch remembered the hungry years when Father was
away teaching school most vividly. Then there were
the lean years when even the shool money stopped and
all the children had to do everything they could to
help the family to survive. The three oldest were
married and involved in their own struggles and
Juliette, his mother, worked as a seamstress and kept
the family together as best she could. It is no
wonder, then, that Enoch did not have a chance for
a great deal of education, nor did he have the fun of
care-free childhood.
By the time he was fifteen, Enoch was hiring out
as a farm hand and about that time, too, had gone
to Bunkerville, Nevada, to work, where he roomed with
another young man on a farm. Despite the long hours
of hard work he had developed a keen sense of humor
and was somewhat of a practical joker. One night a
passing prospector stopped to ask the boys for a
night's lodging. The two young men were happy for
204
company and entertained the best they could. For
breakfast the next morning, they served the visitor
pancakes with sorghum syrup. The propsector ate
heartily and expressed his extreme liking for the
syrup. The boys decided they would give him some to
take along, but could find no container to put it
in except the man's pant pockets. Later when they
encountered the same prospector, they asked how he
had enjoyed the syrup. He said, "Oh, the syrup was
fine but it sure ruined my pocket!"
It was probably from such visitors as this that
Enoch conceived the idea of doing some prospecting
on his own. Leaving the farm he went to Death Vall-
ey to try his luck. Talking to another man one
evening, the man showed him a ball of clay in which
he had hidden his gold dust so that robbers would
not be tempted to steal it. Playfully, Enoch grabb-
ed the ball and slung it into a thicket of bushes.
Immediately the two men began to search for the ball
but it was never found. That night Enoch began to
grow up and leave his childish ways.
Acquiring a companion, Enoch went further into the
desert to find his fortune. The day came when the
two men found that besides their donkey they had only
a gallon of water to sustain them. They cast lots
to see who should have the water and who would get
the donkey. Enoch won the donkey and set out immed-
iately, heading towards Beatty, Nevada. It was pitch
dark when he arrived there and he could not find
anything so decided to sleep through the night, then
make some contact. When he awoke the next morning
he found only the dry bones of the former inhabitants.
He buried them, then started on the dreary road to
Las Vegas. In Las Vegas he learned that people there
had become alarmed at the long absence of the two men
and had sent a search party out to find them. They
found the man who had kept the water - dead.
That was the end of his prospecting days. Enoch
returned to Bicknell, Ut. , and engaged again in farm
activities. There he met and married Martha Mariah
HEATH. A wagon had been packed and prepared for the
honeymoon and the young couple was to sleep in it after
the wedding ceremony, all ready to start out the next
morning. A friend, knowing the chivaree customs of
the community, suggested that he would trade wagons
with them for the night. They agreed and retired
with the friend going to bed in their wagon. During
the night some young fellows attached ropes to the
honeymoon wagon and pulled it far out into the country-
side, when to their surprise the friend opened the
HERITAGE 2105
wagon cover, pointed a shotgun at them and made them
re-attach the ropes and return the wagon to its or-
iginal place.
The honeymoon was spent on the Henry mountains,
then they moved to Huntington, Ut. , where they re-
mained until 1909, moving then to Myton, Ut., where
Enoch engaged in hauling freight from Myton to Price,
The round trip of one hundred sixty miles required
five days to make it. One winter Enoch and several
others made the trip, but when they got to Price,
a big snow storm arose. His companions decided to
remain in Price until it had cleared up, but Enoch
was anxious to get home so started out alone. The
conditions were so bad that it took him eighteen
days to make the eighty miles. He ran out of feed
for the horses so fed them sugar from the freight
load. There was a real celebration when he arr-
ived safely in town. The only thing he had to pay
for from the load was the red handkerchieves he had
cut up to make face masks for himself so that he
wouldn't go snow blind.
The following spring Enoch moved his family to
Clay Basin, about three miles east of Altonah and
four miles north of Bluebell, to homestead a tract
of one hundred sixty acres of land. About sixteen
acres could be irrigated, the rest dry farm. He
installed a big horse-powered threshing unit, with
the horses traveling in a circle to make the separ-
ators work. At threshing time the farmers would
bring their grain to him to be threshed. The women
would assemble to do the cooking for the crews . To
the children it seemed a grand picnic time. It was
good to have those times to remember , though, for
by the time spring came there would often not be
enough food left to satisfy a growing family and
they would have to dig for Indian and Sego roots
and snare rabbits.
There were Indian troubles, too. One time when
Maria and the children were alone, three squaws
and four braves came to the house. The braves
started to enter the house while the squaws headed
for the garden. Maria cocked an old 44 rifle and
told the men she would shoot if they came in.
Then she gave the gun to her oldest boy, went out
the back door, got a hoe and drove the squaws out
of t he garden. The Indians left and didn't ever
return.

Enoch chewed tobacco, a habit he had acquired in
his prospecting days. One spring he was working in
the field. The spring season was very short so
it was important to make the most of every day.
Enoch lost his tobacco one day. He stopped work,
took a horse and rode twenty five miles to Myton
to get another plug of tobacco. When he got home
he began thinking about how foolish he had been.
He threw the tobacco out and never again used it!
In 1916 the family moved to Sunnyside, Utah, where
Enoch worked in the coal mines until 1918, when
they moved back to the farm. That was the winter
of the terrible "flu" epidemic. Fortunately none
of the family contracted the disease but kept busy
doing the chores for the neighbors who suffered
from it.
The next summer Enoch and his sons took a job
digging a tunnel to the bottom of the lake for
the Farmer's Irrigation Company. The lake was right
at timber line, 11,000 feet high, and they encount-
ered snow until July 24th. When they left in Sept-
ember it was snowing so hard they could hardly see
their way out.
That year, 1919, debts were so heavy that the
farm was lost and the family moved to Price where
Enoch bought six town lots and pitched tents on
them for the family to live in until a house could
be built. Eventually he sold four of the lots for
enough to pay off the two remaining ones.
Going out of town a ways, Enoch started a lime
business by digging a shaft in the side of a big
wash, then constructing a chute leading to the
bottom of the shaft. Gathering rocks from the
side hills, they were rolled into the shaft and
burned. Besides this venture, he and boys hauled
gravel and sand for builders. During this time he
served the city of Price as councilman for twelve
years.
Energetic and versatile, Enoch worked hard all
the days of his life to support his family and train
his sons to be self-supporting and free. A man

brother, until about 1898, when they moved to Hunt-
ington,. Ut.
By the time his mother married Mr. Zenos Wing
DODGE and moved them to Mesquite, Nevada, Charles
was the only child left at home, the others either
married or away working. One time when Mr.
Dodge and Juliette took their produce to Utah to
sell, Charles was left alone at home. He ran out
of food and subsisted on melons until their re-
turn a week later.
Charles had a little pony that he rode wherever
he went. He always went alone. One time he decid-
ed to go to Utah on his pony. He got nearly to
Beaver, Ut., when his pony seemed to be shaking.
He got off and discovered that it really was an
earthquake. The quakes continued for three days
so Charles didn't stay there very long. He went on
to Bicknell.
About 1903 the family moved back to Bicknell.
T here Charles met Winnie HEATH and became attract-
ed to her. About 1910 Charles and his brother Joe
took a band of Indian ponies out tor the reserva-
tion (Duchesne Co.,) to sell. They staid there,
homesteading some land and beginning farming.
In the meantime Winnie's family had moved to Alt-
onah. She and Charles renewed their acquaintance-
ship and were married in 1911, in Vernal, Ut. They
lived in Altonah for ten years and suffered all the
hardships incident to pioneering in that difficult
land.
When the "flu" epidemic hit in the fall of 1918,
Charles moved his family to Huntington, Ut. The
"flu" found them there and in 1919 the entire fam-
ily suffered from it. Charles had gone to Storrs
to work in the coal mine there and came near dying
with the "flu" while his family in Huntington was
nearly as ill.
September 1, 1919, he took his family, consist-
ing of four children and his wife, to the Manti
temple. In 192 3, after an extended strike that
had closed the Storrs mines, Charles bought a
home in Price, Utah, and moved there. For awhile
he worked as an auto mechanic, then he went to work
for Harry GORDON, traveling in Southern Utah as
a buyer of pelts and wool - mostly from Indians.
The Indians had a high regard for him and trusted
him implicitly.
HERITAGE 209
In 1932, Charles moved his family, now consisting
of seven children , to Green River, Ut. While they
lived there he operated a service station, a small
store and camp cabins, or motel. He also contin-
ued to work and travel for Mr. GORDON.
They lived in Green River for nine years, then
Charles developed kidney stones to such a degree
that he had to be under the constant care of a
docto£> . Since there were no doctors in Green
River, he took his family to Price. He had sev-
eral operations for stones and finally one kidney
had to be removed. He was bedridden for over a
year before he died of cancer of the kidneys.
Charles was very good in mathematics. He was
interested in geology and was a part owner in a
copper mine in Wayne Co., Ut. He loved to travel
and was always interested in going to new places
and meeting new people. He had a talent for mak-
ing friends wherever he went. He was very gener-
ous and was always helping anyone he could in any
way. He was loved by all who knew him.
While living in Green River, Winnie not only op-
erated the motel, but was active in her church,
serving as Primary president, Sunday School teach-
er. Relief Society class leader and a counselor in
the genealogy committee.
After her husband's death she continued to live
in Price and continued her church activity, serv-
ing as counselor and teacher in the Primary,
teaching Sunday School and Relief Society. She has
traveled all over the western United States and in
Mexico. She sings, plays the piano, does oil paint-
ings and has written a book of poems. She has al-
ways loved genealogy work and has spent many hours
doing research.
On her eightieth birthday, a grandson, James Ray
CHIDESTER, took her for her first airplane ride. He
was the owner and pilot of the plane. A great thrill
for a doting grandmother. She has lived in Salt
Lake City since 1949.

enough off always to have the first fancy buggy,
the new type wagon, or later, the first automobile.
Small in stature, Laura yet had learned to do many
things and at the time of her marriage was teach-
ing school.
Having been taught to work hard in the days of
his youth, John had become rather self-reliant by
the time his mother was moving to Provo. He elect-
ed to remain in Southern Utah with his brother
Willie, and the two of them rounded up wild horses
to break, train and sell. They worked as ranch
hands and learned all the tricks of the trade. It
was no wonder that he should become a very success-
ful ranch and cattle man who always preferred the
wild country to which he was born. Companions on
the trail and around the campfire testified to his

he elected to leave his family at an early age, he
was still a devoted son and went frequently to the
north to join the family for all important events.

"We lived in Clover Valley, Nevada, when Father
died. He was out riding the range, saw a big band
of his horses being driven off and, in spite of
very cold weather, he overtook the horses, getting
them back on the range. He took a heavy cold which
turned to pneumonia. He stopped at his brother
John's in Hebron. He got worse, raved and called
for Tessie. Just as soon as he saw her he quieted
down. She could keep him quiet but he kept getting
weaker. All of us came from Clover Valley. He
died a day or two later. He was buried on my birth-
day.
"We returned to Clover Valley until it was warm
enough to move to the ranch on Shoal Creek, five
miles the other side of Hebron. Mother hired
Darwin CHIDESTER to gather the cattle to sell. She
also hired Aunt Eunice Chidester HARMON to stay with
her that summer. Three or four weeks before you
were born she sent to Gunlock for a midwife, Mrs
PARKER.
"We moved into Hebron for the winter. I was
eleven years old. The next spring Mother got per-
mission to move. Susie, the Indian girl, would
not go. Mother bought land and had what is now
the Roberts Hotel built in Provo and made her liv-
ing by boarding students. Mother made the beds,
I did the kitchen work.
"One day when you were carrying around the toilet
chair, you fell with it against --the heater, burn-
ing your face just awful. Mother held you in her
arms, holding your hands so you could not scratch
your face. I scraped raw potatoes to draw the fire
out, until there was only one blister on your
temple.
"In Shoal Creek and Hebron I used to be afraid to
go to bed at night for fear Ben TASKER and his gang
would come and kill us all."
The boarding house in central Provo was eventually
sold and the family moved to a large home and farm
on Provo Bench. Eunice and her brother Willie walk-
ed each school day, from there back to Brigham Young
Academy where Eunice finished her schooling. She
then taught school for three years until she marr-
ied Alma Miner CARTER.
After their marriage Eunice and Alma lived for a
213
HERITAGE
for a short time in Clover Valley, Ne^?. Returning
to Provo, they lived in a brick home which Eunice's
mother had given them.
For some time Alma worked in the mines. His com-
panions there were rough men and Alma began to absorb
some of their bad habits and manners. Eunice toyed
with the idea of leaving him, but one night she had
a dream. A heavenly messenger seemed to come to
her and advised, "Do not leave Alma, for he is a
good man. Put white garments on him." She thought
that had reference to his under clothing. He had
been wearing grey flannel garments because of the
mine work.
In 1902 Alma joined a group going to Canada to
settle. They were under the sponsorship of Jesse
KNIGHT who was interested in settling the Alberta
country. Eunice and the five children did not make
the trip until the following March. They settled in
a small house in Raymond and assisted in the cultiva-
tion of two hundred acres of rich farm land, ninety
of them being irrigated.
After seven years on this cooperative farm, the
Carters moved out on the "Coulee", six miles away.
They had a bumper crop of wheat that year, with tlfe
proceeds of which they bought cattle and began home-
steading at Twin Rivers. Two more children had
joined the family and they grieved at the loss of
the youngest.
Life in Canada was good, though. The family
prospered and gradually the old conflicts disapp-
eared.
Eunice and her sisters were very close although
many miles separated them. While she wss in Canada,
Arietta was in Montana; Minnie, Anna and LaPrele
were in Utah. They corresponded frequently. If
one learned something of another she was quick to
pass the word along. At first they wrote to learn
about Mother. Then they wrote to keep up with each
other and their families.
Life at Twin Rivers had been good. The Carters
prospered and raised their family to maturity. But
as the years passed the severe winters began to take
their toll. At first they tried spending the winters
either in Raymond or Lethbridge where they would be
near the children and have medical care. Then,
214 HERITAGE
after Alma died, Eunice found life on the farm too
isolated and lonely and she moved to a small home
in Raymond, near her son LaMonde. She had been
blessed to have her companion for more than fifty
years, her family was raised, and she was content
to live quietly, caring for herself, raising her
own garden and tending flowers, remembering and
writing of her eventful life and doing fine needle
work. Various ones of the children wanted her to
live with them and a brother made an attractive
offer, but she remained in her own home.
Frequently she went to the Temple in Alberta
and faithfully she attended her church meetings.
Her sistersand their families visited her several
times and one lovely Christmas she was able to
spend in Idaho with members of the family.
In March, 1972, Alma and Eunice could count
forty three living grandchildren and many great
grand children. Their eldest son, Ervin, had
filled a mission to the Northern States in 1918.
Their posterity filled church positions in many
branches and wards. There were missionary grand-
sons from every family.

Minnie began working at age fifteen in a jewelry
store. The next year she attended business college,
studying bookkeeping. At age seventeen she took a
normal course at Brigham Young Academy and in Sept
1893, had her first teaching position at Fairfield
(Camp Floyd,) Ut; Married the next year, she liv-
ed in Fairfield until 1896, when she and her hus-
band moved to Provo.
After a long illness, her husband died in 1906
and Minnie returned to teaching in Provo, where she
was especially valuable because of her training in
mathematics and bookkeeping. By the time she moved
in 1919, to Salt Lake City, she had taught in all
of Provo 's high schools except the Maeser school.
She eventually moved with her son David to a home at
833 So 5th East, Salt Lake City, where she spent
the remainder of her life.
A severe attack of influenza in 1918, left her
health impaired and she developed diabetes two or
three years later. She spent two weeks in a hosp-
ital under the supervision of Dr. Gill RICHARDS
learning how to measure and control her food.
Thereafter she took pride in being able to take
care of herself.
As she grew older and retired from the teaching
profession, her sister Anna would often ride in
from Midvale to spend the day with Minnie. They
would visit and shop and enjoy each other. Money
did not seem to worry Minnie for she had been frugal
over the years, never wasting, never wanting. She
was a fairly tall person and stood erect, much the
posture one would expect of a strict, dedicated
teacher. She never seemed angry with anyone. She
resembled her mother most of any of the sisters;
she wore glasses, combed her hair straight back
caught in a bun at the back and ornamented with a
few colorful pins. She dressed modestly .

Minnie bought a car, learned to drive it and

Sarah Edna PULSIPHER trained as a teacher and spent
her first year in the profession teaching in Rich-
field, Ut., then taught in Provo, Ut. Her teaching
career ended when she married Mr. Taylor, for they
went into the grocery business on the north side of
Center St. in Provo, Ut. In partnership with Mr.
Taylor was his sister Polly. Edna's career from then
on was her marriage and the raising of a fine family.
She would be able to celebrate her sixtieth wedding
anniversary, eventually.
A letter she wrote to her sister Anna, 4 Jan 1934,
shows her dedication to her family:
"Wendell came a week before Xmas and we were so
full of joy that I neglected my correspondence . . .
Isn't it grand that our boys do not smoke or drink?
Max is down in Saxony from up by the Baltic Sea
(he was serving a mission to Germany at this time)
transferred Dec 2nd. It is soon two years since he
HERITAGE 217
left. He sang over the radio at Leipzig on his way
down to Mittweida, also had some phonograph records
of his voice and sent home for Xmas. He is now
laboring with Oscar KIRKHAM's son. They are so
happy together. I wish Wendell would get the des-
ire to go on a mission. It would just finish him
up right, he is doing so well in school.
"We had a delightful time during the holidays.
Nadine and Wendell entertained eight friends at
dinner, after which they attended a Norm party."
A card from LaPrele, her sister, tells of an
accident, July 1954: "Edna is in the hospital. She
was taking food on a plate to Norma 's children Sun-
day, as Norma is in Calif. She had the plate on
the seat. It slipped. She grabbed the plate, putt-
ing her foot on the gas pedal instead of the brake.
She sheared off a metal light pole, wrecked her
car and bent the steering wheel against her chest.
Her nose is broken, lip cut, face swollen, eyes
black, chest and arm, knees and ankle bruised. I
hope nothing else more serious is the matter and
that she gets well."
She did get well and three years later was able
to write, "Isn't it good that we have been spared
all these years? If I had not asked my Heavenly
Father in prayer, I would have left Nadine and Norma
just little girls, but I told Him if He could see
fit to spare me and let me live, I would serve Him
as long as I lived."
Edna kept her promise well. Among other teach-
ing assignments, she was a counselor in the Relief
Society, helping with the nursing, sewing and cook-
ing. She was a chorister and her group sang in
many places. After she became stake Relief Society
chorister her group sang in the April Relief Socie-
ty Conference. She trained her children to sing
and play musical instruments and to live clean
lives. She spent a great deal of time in her later
years compiling and writing the stories of the lives
of her father, her mother, sister Minnie and
others.

Anna Luella PULSIPHER was born after her father
died and was very young when the family moved to
Provo, Ut. She did not experience the rugged life
that older members of the family did. Her first
memories were of life in the boarding house that
her mother kept during her early childhood. Of
course, she yearned to know her father as the old-
er brothers and sisters did. Her position as baby
of the family, yet the contemporary of the younger
family her mother had, gave her the enviable posi-
tion of pivot of family interest. She was the conn-
ecting link between the two and she would always be
the central figure — the older ones concerned for
her welfare, the younger ones looking to her for
leadership and guidance.
When, a baby, she fell into a heater and receiv-
ed severe burns, the older family members nursed
her tenderly until she recovered.

As the bride of Edgar Lafayette CROPPER, having
been married in the Salt Lake Temple, Anna made her
first home in St. Johns, Ariz., where Edgar had a
teaching position. As teachers are wont to do,
there was a period of time spent in gaining exper-
ience and working up to a place of desireability .
In rather quick succession they lived in Kanosh,
Ut. , then Provo, followed by a lengthy stay in
Charleston, Wasatch Co., Ut.
When Edgar first began teaching in Charleston
there was no place available for him to rent so that
his family could be with him. Anna and the children
remained in Provo, living with her mother, with
Edgar riding the narrow guage railway up Provo Can-
yon to reach his school. He boarded during the week,
then returned to his family for the week end and in
the summer he went to Deseret to work in the fields
with his father, taking the boys with him as they
grew older.
After a year or two, Edgar bought a small hotel
in Charleston and moved his family there. He had
been offered a teaching position in Provo, but he
had become involved in the affairs of the little
mountain community and in the school problems of the
district. Being an innovative teacher he rose to
the challenges and preferred to stay until they
could be solved. While he was teaching, Anna cared
for the boarding house hotel and the family. Two
of her children were born there. Both times she
was confined in the lobby of the hotel where she
could be cared for most comfortably.
The time came when a lucrative offer was made for
Edgar to teach in Midvale, Ut. , a suburb of Salt
Lake City, so the hotel was sold and the family mov-
ed. Four years in Midvale, Edgar taught and super-
vised the school, the last year spent in teaching
history and government in the eighth grade. Ending
fifteen years as a successful teacher , he was
attracted to other more lucrative employment.
For four and a half years he was in charge of a
smelter. Finding promotions rather slow after that
time, he quit the company and spent some time on the
farm with his father and in electioneering for the
Republican party. During the 1921 session of the
state legislature he served as "Minute Clerk".
When the session ended he staid on to .-h elp correct
220 HERITAGE
and revise the House Journal and had it printed. He
was then appointed an accountant in the new department
of Finance and Purchasing under Lincoln G. KELLEY, at
$150.00 per month. Home improvements were made and
life was easier for Anna and the children.
In the fall of 1922 he was made State Purchasing
agent for the University of Utah, Utah Agricultural
College, Branch A. C. , and the Mental Hospital, State
Prison, the State Industrial School and the School for
the Deaf and Blind.
A party change in state government in 1925,
changed his employment and Edgar worked for a time
for the Granite Lumber Co., then became affiliated
with the Chesterfield Coal Co. Energetic and crea-
tive, he was an asset to any company or group for which
he worked.
Anna spent her days raising her children and pro-
viding an attractive home. As they grew older, she
sometimes accompanied her husband on his many business
trips. Their vacations were visits to her sisters in
far-away places and she was in constant contact with
the sisters who were close to her. Many times she
would ride to town with her husband and spend the day
while he was at work , visiting her sister Minnie.
Anna raised a fine family and taught them all
to be proud of their heritage and loyal to their fam-
ilies. Her son Kenneth, at her urging, succeeded in
gathering and preserving the stories and data that
make the Pulsipher and Cropper families beacon lights
in the story of the west.

Sometime between 1914 and 1918, Arietta and Will-
iam decided to try the ranching business in Montana.
It was to be a rough life reminiscent of the pioneer-
ing experiences of her mother. In a letter to her
nephew, Kenneth Cropper, Arietta said, "I have had a
lot of frontier activity. We were thirteen years in
the "Big Hole" among a rough element that drifts in
for haying season. I took care of one shooting and
one stabbing, besides setting broken bones. Twice I
had to come to your Uncle Will's rescue."
They had ranches near Dillon, Mont ., in Jackson
Hole, and their last home was in Hamilton, Montana.
Arietta kept in touch with her sisters and visited
them whenever possible. She was really at the half-
way point between Provo, Ut. , and Raymond, Canada.
She could report on the sister living so far north,
and when any other member of the family went to Canada
to visit it was convenient to stop off and spend a few
days with Arietta on the ranch.
Will and Arietta were living with their youngest
daughter in Anaheim, Cal., when t hey became ill. It
was Wanda who had the privilege of easing their aches
and pains and listening to their memories in their last
days .

The following story was written by Ruby Laverne
J.H. Neelll-356:
Mother came to Carey Valley, Idaho, when she was nine
years old, traveling by covered wagon. She attended school
there and grew to young womanhood. She met Oscar who then
resided in Marley (now Richfield) Idaho, where he had a
farm. They lived in Marley several years, then moved to
Emmett where Oscar had a ranch. At this time (1917) there
were terrible hardships - banks closed, crops left in
the fields because there was no help available to do the
harvesting. All young men were in the army (World War I)
Oscar sold out and moved to Melba, Ida., where he built
a big, beautiful home and began again. They lived there
until 1924; conditions got worse and Oscar had to sell
for what he could get out of his farm and hired out as
a farm hand. We then moved to Mt. Hebron, Siskiyou, Cal.,
where Oscar went to work for a friend.
During the depression years we lived in many places,
wherever there was work to be found. They returned to
Richfield in 1942 where they grubbed a farm out of sage
brush and lived there until Oscar died in 1961. Esther
then bought a house in town. She worked in the L.D.S.
church; was Relief Society president; work director;
choir director; vocalist, singing with the "Singing Moth-
ers." Two years before she died she moved to Grand
View, Idaho.
Oscar was the first white child born in Price, Ut.
He was Presiding Elder from 1915 to 1917 and had served
on a mission before he was married. He held two college
degrees, was an excellent carpenter and did dry clean-
ing as well as farming. He introduced irrigation into
Richfield Valley.
Both Esther and Oscar loved music. Esther played
the piano and Oscar played any instrument he picked up.
We children remember many times we could bring friends
home to music and food. No one was ever knowingly turned
away hungry from our home. We could go to a dance and
bring home the orchestra and friends and Mother and Dad
would make everyone welcome in the middle of the night.
Ours was a very happy home. We might not have had all
the money in the world, but we had family love and unity.

When I was almost five years old my parents and
brothers and sisters moved to Carey, Idaho. I attended
school in Carey and inasmuch as Carey was a Mormon settle-
ment, I attended church there.
Because my husband was a returned missionary we were
married in the Salt Lake Temple. We made our home at
first in Marley, which is now Richfield, Idaho.
One of my greatest desires was to have my children
acquire a good education. My oldest daughter, Caroline
received a master's degree in research Librarian. My
next daughter, Esther Lorraine, graduated from the Brigham
Young University. My son Dean went into the service in
World War II as a dive bomber pilot and was a major in
the Marine Air Corps. After the war was over he had a
flourishing business in crop dusting and was killed in
his own airplane, leaving a wife and two children. My
youngest daughter married quite young and since her husb-
and is a flier, she has lived many places in other coun-
tries.
I have been very active in the church all during
my married life and even after I lost my husband, just
seven months after I lost my son.
We were living in Colorado Springs, Wyo., for a
time. I was Relief Society president there for three
years. After moving to Oregon I was Relief Society pres-
ident for ten years. I was called to work in the Stake
22 8 HERITAGE
Board and worked there for fourteen years. My husband
was the branch president in McMinnville and was
responsible for the building of the beautiful chapel
there. Later he was appointed to the high council and
worked there until his death.
I have eleven grandchildren, two of whom are
adopted; and I have three great grandchildren.

I was the eighth child born to Willard Darwin
Chidester. My mother's name before she was married
to my father was Caroline Gubler. I was the only child
in the family who was born in Idaho. At the time of
my birth my family lived in a little suburb of Carey
called Tikura.
HERITAGE 229
My parents and their seven children had migrated
to Carey from Washington, Utah, in two covered wagons.
They had heard of the little Mormon settlement from a
man named Cyrus STANFORD and my fathj^Y was anxious to
secure more land for his three sons to work on.
After my father had worked on other ranches for
some time he bought a home in Carey and then started
proving up on some land about five miles from Carey
in an area called Fish Creek. He and my brothers hauled
logs to build our house on this land. Also logs were
hauled from the mountains to build an ice house and
many oth^r buildings.
I remember my father as one of the kindest men,
also generous and very honest and humble. My mother was
a meticulous housekeeper and had many talents such as
sewing and making beautiful quilts and was quite music-
ally inclined.
I think of the time that I spent on 'ithe ranch as
one of the happiest times of my life. I had a very
difficult time attending school as in order for my par-
ents to prove up on their land they had to live on it
seven months out of the year. I usually staid with
friendsr^ of my parents until they could move in town
for the winter.
My father passed away when I was fourteen years
of age and my mother passed away when I was nineteen.
My brother John was cashier of the bank in Carey and I
worked there for a short time, then went to Boise, Ida.,
and attended Link Business College and was able to
get work in tiie Auditing Department of the telephone
company in Boise. Later on I went to Portland, Oregon
and secured work in the First National Bank there.
In 1926 I was married to Allen Ross ARTHUR. He
had been attending a business college in Portland and
at the time we were married he was working in a lathe
mill.
We lived nine years in San Francisco as my husband
started working for the stock yards there, owned by
Swift & Co. He was hired out as a lamb buyer for Swift
and we were later transferred to Los Angeles as it was
a big promotion for him as head lamb buyer for Swift &
Co. , there.
During the depression my husband was out of work
and at that time my oldest son was born. I had worked
at the P.G.&E. in San Francisco and we had been able to
230 HERITAGE
save enough money to see us through the depression.
When we moved to Los Angeles, I became very active
in the church as I worked in the primary organization
for nineteen years as secretary, first counselor and
president. Then I started working in the MIA as pres-
ident until I was called into the stake MIA as secre-
tary. All told I worked in MIA fourteen years. I
also worked several years in Relief Society as presi-
dent and first counselor, and also work director.
All of my church activities have enriched my life.
I have two wonderful sons, four grandchildren and one
great granddaughter. I feel truly blessed as we cel-
ebrated our fiftieth wedding anniversary on Apr 24, 1976.

Mrs. Kate Stanford, who collected all the inform-
ation from her branch of the family, enthusiastic and
vivacious at age 89, became a member of the Daughters
of the American Revolution, on application #135336,
proving her descent from Justice SACKETT who was b in
E. Greenwich, Conn., 9 Mar 1730; d 16 Mar 1815. In 1765
he was commissioned Capt. of the Second Train Band of
the town of Kent, Conn. , and during the war he partici-
pated in several short campaigns. He was a represent-
ative from Kent County to the General Assembly in 1775
and later. She is also eligible for membership by
reason of the participation of her illustrious Chidester
ancestor.
Although, in 1977, she was hard of hearing and
wore a pacemaker, she was a delight to be with.

Dr. "Gus" CHIDESTER graduated from Syracuse Med-
ical College as medical doctor and physician, later
becoming a gynecologist. He began practice 15 Oct
1923, in Cato, Cayuga, N.Y. , moving later to Auburn,
N.Y. , where he was prominent in medical circles for
many years. About 1961 he decided it was time to retire
but to do so he would have to leave town.
He moved to Hendersonville, N.C., where he built
a lovely new home. Retirement was not his "metier,"
however, and after a few short years he went into part-
nership with another doctor and practiced on a limited
basis with frequent times off to attend conventions and
make extended visits to his children, relatives and
friends. In 1977 he again decided to retire, but
still kept an interest in the office and the practice,
on an advisory basis.
Dr. Chidester preserved his father's journal and
took up the pursuit of family history, keeping complete
records of the descendants of David Starr CHIDESTER,
acting as the connecting link between the ever-scatt-
ering branches of his family.

GRIFFIN
Theodore CHIDESTER came to Panguitch when he was
seven years of age and lived there from then on. His
early life was spent in farming, then he operated a
bus service between Panguitch and the railway terminal
in Marysvale, Ut. , for several years. From 1921 to
1951 he and his wife operated a cafe and service sta-
tion and they also ran a resort at Panguitch Lake, keep-
ing the tradition his father had started.
Ida Sargent CHIDESTER was a most remarkable
woman. Handicapped most of her life by deafness, she
never let it stand in her way. She was a good teacher
at school and in church. Active in all civic affairs,
she was co-author and publisher of a history of Garfield
County, entitled "Golden Nuggets of Pioneer Days," She
was a charter member in the Daughters of Utah Pioneers;
served many years as correspondent for a northern news-
paper and was known in Garfield County for her excell-
ent cooking — especially for her delicious pies.
"Aunt Ida" was the matriarch of the Chidester
family during her later years, encouraging genealogical
research and seeing that the entire family had a good
time at reunions.

John N. CHIDESTER was an enthusiastic athlete dur-
ing his school years. After graduation from Panguitch
public schools he attended Murdock Academy, in Beaver,
Ut., and Snow College in Ephraim, Ut. At both schools
he was a star basket ball player and foot racer. He
held the state record for the 100 yard dash. In all
civic sports events he was the center of attraction,
often entering every event.
Immediately after his marriage he left for a
mission to the Central States, spending more than a
year in Kansas and Missouri, proselyting for the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. While there, his
health broke and it was found that unwise exploitation
of his athletic skills had damaged his heart which had
no doubt been weakened by a childhood bout with rheu-
matic fever that had not been recognized at the time.
Returning home, his health improved to a certain
extent and he was able to work to sustain his family.
During his absence, his wife had operated the Chidester
Hotsl in Panguitch. They continued this activity
for a time and John also helped his father at the Pang-
uitch Lake resort as well as working, when able, as a
carpenter and builder.
After the sale of the hotel he moved his family

to Delta, Ut., where his wife's parents had settled,
thinking that the dry desert air there would be better
for him than the high rarified atmosphere of Panguitch.
In Delta John built a lovely home for his family
and continued to work at carpentry but his health det-
eriorated consistently. His daughters remember the
lovely things he did — the stained glass windows he
installed in the kitchen; the way he would take
them for rides with him and converse with them as
equals.
He t ODk a job selling books - the story of the
sinking of the Titanic. Thelma accompanied him on those
selling trips as he drove to neighboring towns. On the
way, as the horse plodded along they would converse
about the things of nature, the sun. It was on these
trips that Thelma developed a love for things of the
universe
Then there was the night that his daughter Julia
was being born. The labor was long and difficult. He
waited patiently and did all he could for his suff-
ering wife. But Thelma was upset and worried about
her mother's illness. John took her out on the porch
and talked to her about the stars, pointing out the big
dipper and other constellations until she quieted and
could be put to bed and to sleep. Later, when Thelma
studied astronomy in college she would relive that
night under the stars with her gentle father.
It was many months before his wife regained her
health after this experience. John cared for the child-
ren and the house until he was stricken with the ill-
ness that did not end until his death. Because of his
ill health Mary, who had been a school teacher in her
youth, went back to the school room, the first job
being in Abraham, a neighboring village. Here John
would spend the good days going to the school to coach
the big farm boys in basket ball. On the bad days
Thelma waited on him and tended the baby, going to
school to get her mother when the doctor came.
John did not live to see his last child who was
born months after his death. He had been wise in his
marriage, for he left a wife who assumed the respons-
ibility of parenthood, being father and mother to the
children and creating a good life for them.

Mary Asenath, known more familiarly as Cenneth,
was left motherless in the first week of her life.
Means of feeding an infant other than at the mother's
breast had not been developed yet in 1883. Fortunately
her Aunt Lodema Chidester RUBY had a young baby and
lived nearby and v;as willing to feed this little one
along with her own. Aunt Lodema was a midwife and, at
least in this instance, was a wet-nurse. Between her
aunt and her paternal grandparents , Mary was cared for
until her father re-married and took his young family
to Panguitch to live. Her new young mother took the
244 HERITAGE
infant to her heart and cared for her so tenderly that
Mary would honor her by giving her name to her own
daughter.
There was a disappointing first marriage, then
Mary Asenath became the wife, again, of a farmer and
served her family well. Eventually the farm was sold
and the Bakers moved into Salt Lake City where they
operated a small grocery store on Center St. This
did not prove to be a satisfactory way of life for
people who were used to the open spaces. The store
was sold and the family moved back to a farm, this
time in Midvale, Utah.
After Elijah's death, Max continued to run the
farm for his mother for a few years, then the farm
was sold and Mary moved to San Diego so that she would
be near her daughter.. The children saw to it that
their mother never did want for anything she needed.
Merle and Edyth took her on trips with them so that
she visited most of the United States and saw a
great deal of Europe. Max and his wife cared for her
months at a time, doing all they could to make her
happy. and Russell contributed to her well-being.

Born of good Latter Day Saint pioneer stock,
Almina was extra weak at birth and it was doubtful that
she would live, but one of the general authorities of
the church who was visiting at stake conference, was
asked to administer to her. He blessed her that she
HERITAGE 245
would live and grow up to be a mother in Israel. She
lived to fulfill the blessing and to celebrate her 90th
birthday.
Almina was the eldest daughter of her mother, but
she came into a ready-made family with older brothers
and sisters. Her father always said, "There is no such
thing in this family as half brothers and sisters. We
are one family!" Almina was the mediator, the one who
linked the two families into one and made her father's
words come true. All members of the family, older and
younger, looked to her for leadership and love which
she gave freely.
At the age of fourteen Mina was given the assign-
ment of primary teacher. At sixteen she was secretary
of the Sunday School. When she was seventeen her fath-
er was appointed District Attorney and the family moved
to Richfield. There she finished school and went part
of a year to school at the Agricultural College in
Logan, Ut. Back in Richfield, she was given the job
as assistant secretary of the Young Women's Mutual
Improvement Association.
After her marriage to Leonard Ogden in the Salt
Lake Temple, the couple proceeded to pioneer the Hard-
scrabble country southeast of Richfield. For many years
the family milked cows and raised crops there.
Mina has been a Relief Society visiting teacher
almost constantly since her marriage, going first by
horse and buggy and later driving her own car until
age and infirmity forced her to give up the calling.
She went monthly to visit and bring love and aid to
her associates in the church.
As she raised her family she filled many posi-
tions in the religion class and primary. She served
as Spiritual Living teacher in Relief Society for eight
years; two years were also spent on a stake mission,
working with the Indians and she was the first Relief
Society president in the Yoomeenchoopeets Branch when
it was organized.
After retiring from the farm, Mina maintained a
lovely home on Center St. in Richfield, still serving
her family, going frequently to the Temple in Manti,
recording her family records. Inspired by their mother's
love and example, her children have rewarded her with
love and concern for her well-being. She is an inspir-
ation to all the family, brothers and sisters, nephews
and neices , as well as her own children and grandchild-
ren.

Samuel H. CHIDESTER started out with a farm and
he would always have a peice of land and a productive
garden; but really he was a musician. His soul de-
lighted in song and his violin sang for him. He taught
school in Escalante, Ut; in Panguitch and in Bicknell.
But wherever he went his violin went with him. He
always had a dance band going and would travel the
countryside to play for dances, give musicals, parti-
cipating in holiday programs.
As his children grew up he taught them to play
various instruments and soon his own family band was
making the rounds. They brought joy to the country and
were known far and wide for their versatility and prow-
ess in entertainment. At family reunions there was
always the time when Sam brought out his well-worn
instrument and a brother or sister would accompany him
on the piano and there would be toe-tapping music —
the frosting on the cake.
HERITAGE 247
Before his marriage, Sam served a mission for his
church, going to Germany. All his life he was an ardent
member and participant in all church activities.

As a young man Arnon was his father's main stay
on the farm. While father was busy with politics, the
law and various committees, Arnon took charge of the
farm. During his mother's widowhood he and a younger
brother maintained the farm for a time until the young-
er one took over and Arnon was free to make his own
family living.
For many years he and his wife Adell worked with
Indian youth who attended school in Richfield, giving
them a home away from home, socializing with them,
offering spiritual guidance and advice as needed.
Arnon served as milk tester for the state, coll-
ecting milk samples from the dairy herds and testing
for tuberculosis. Bang's disease, etc.
Family reunions had gone into a decline. It
248 HERITAGE
was Arnon who re-instituted and re-organized them and
served for a nvunber of years as secretary-treasurer.
When his aunt Eveline C. SPROUL found it necessary to
give up the research and record keeping, Arnon assiomed
the responsibility and got it rolling again.
The avocation Arnon probably enjoyed most was
during the years when he acted as guide in the wilds of
southern Utah for hunters and fishermen. He knew
every nook and cranny of the mountains; where one
would most likely be able to bag a deer and in which
lake or stream the best trout would be found. During
the season his refrigerator was stocked with big trout
and the family came to enjoy a real fish fry often.
A dutiful son and loving father, his family
stands as a monument to him.

Vera worked for a number of years as a secretary
and was efficient and thorough in her work. After the
move to California she and her husband went into the
real estate business and eventually worked it into a
thriving enterprise with Frank selling property and
Vera taking care of the escrows.
Both Vera and Frank were active church members,
she concentrating on Relief Society and Frank becoming
HERITAGE 249
prominent as a choir director, among various other
assignments.
After Frank's death, Vera disposed of the business,
did considerable visiting with family in Utah and Idaho,
and worked as a seamstress, making swimming suits for
Marie Reid Inc.
At family reunions her laugh and spontaneous
good spirits made her the life of the party. She was
always in the middle of the action, serving the dinn-
ers as well as cooking them and making a big event of
each family get-together. She often accompanied her
brother Sam on the piano , and in other ways contrib-
uted to the joy of the occasion. She counts among her
children, a bishop, a high councilman and a stake
president who honor her name.

The following story was written by Lucinda M. L.
Chidester Harrington:
A story of a man who forgot himself and found
time amid this world's strife to live up to Christ's
teachings: "Do unto others as you would have them do
to you . "
Myron Alphonzo Chidester. . .had very little
schooling as the family was in poor circumstances. He
remembers working in the woolen mill while so small he
stood on a box to run the loom. His talent for mugic
led him to learn to play the violin and guitar while
still very young.
When Myron was about sixteen years old his father
went on a mission to the southern states, so he and a
younger brother, Elmer, went to a mining camp to work
to help support the family. They were subjected to
all kinds of temptations but they managed to keep clean
and away from tobacco and liquor habits. After their
father returned home, Myron and Elmer went to Deweyville
to work. They boarded with their Aunt Susan Dewey.
There they met the Loveland girls, Lucinda Maud and
Florence Ethel and the following year Myron and Lucinda
were'" married.
When their second child was about a year old they
256 HERITAGE
filed on one hundred sixty acres of land in Cur ley,
Ida; He was not a success as a fanner, being a musi-
cian. However, they staid there thirteen years, being
pioneers in very deed. He helped to build a school
house there and established a school district. He
also helped to build a chapel. For two years school
had been held in his own home.
He worked in the Sunday School super intendency,
was MIA officer and was Stake Secretary for the
Elder's Quorum.
Their fourth child was born in Mountain View,
Cur ley, Idaho, where Myron, together with his bride
Lucinda who was a born farmer, cleaned the land of sage
brush, ploughed and planted it to grain, built a good
two room log house and fenced the land. They also built
a barn and a granary. For two years they hauled water
about two and one half miles for household use and
for the stock. They raised horses, cows, sheep and pigs.
They were always poor, but managed to pay tithing.
Many times Myron came near to losing his life. Once
when digging a well he was just ready to step in the
bucket to go down over one hundred feet when they tied
the rope on the windlass and it parted like a cobweb.
He was always cheerful and could exercise wit in any
situation. He would work all night if necessary to
do what he started to accomplish.
He hauled grain over the mountains to Malad in
snow and mud and over icy roads when the wagon would
slide until it was even with the horses. He was handy
at fixing any kind of machinery from a watch to a
thresher and would leave his own work anytime to help
a neighbor, never expecting any pay.
After eight years, when crops were destroyed by
drought, grasshoppers, frost and hail, the family
moved back to Deweyville where he worked his father-
in-law's place for a year. About 1922 he moved to Salt
Lake City where he worked in the service garage for
a Mr. PECK and Mr. BREWER. He worked nights and when
no one was around he would play his guitar and sing.
While in Deweyville he was busy in Genealogical
work and, as a ward teacher, converted his brother Ray
CHIDESTER's wife to the gospel. He also took Lewis
GARDNER and family to the Logan Temple. His musical
talent and dramatic ability were in constant demand. He
trained a group of boys besides leading the choir. In
Salt Lake City he was chorister and choir leader in the

Mary Isabella STEWART and Archie Edmund BATTY
sealed their love and took one step ahead into eternity
by getting married in the St. George Temple. They first
became acquainted when Mary's widowed mother married
Joseph SYLVESTER and moved to Toquerville. They happ-
ened to live just across the street from the Batty *s
Archie was an outstanding musician and athlete.
He played for many dances and Mary was his companion
as they danced in the lovely Dixie evenings into a
deeper, more meaningful relationship.
Archie played the violin, harmonica, guitar, mand-
olin, piano and organ, to mention a few. He often said
he had never picked up an instrument he couldn't play.
He was one of the rare ones with true pitch and a wrong
note or discord was most painful to his sensitive ears.
It was only natural that music should set the back-
ground in their home life. Later on he had a family
orchestra to cheer loved ones and friends.
In the baseball field, Archie was the main pitcher
and his left hand curve ball was deadly and feared by
262 HERITAGE
the opposing team. Mary was ever by his side in the
ball game to cheer and encourage.. They were a winn-
ing team and after they had a family of their own they
liked nothing better than to have a good base ball
game, with all family members taking part. When they
outarew the family yard they went to a level place south
of pintura. This tradition has carried over into some
of the children's homes.
Archie played the organ from the time he was two
years f^ld. Many times the family organ could be
heard in the night as little Archie couldn't sleep un-
til he got up and played the music that kept going
through his mind. He was so small he would stand with
both feet on one tread, hold on to a stop" with one
hand, and play with the other. He related that many
times he had never heard a piece of music he couldn't
play and on any instrument.
Mary was very industrious and hard working, her
father having died when she was four. She was a lovely,
fun-loving girl and a favorite of Washington where she
lived. Bishop HALL wanted to adopt her but Grandma
preferred to keep her little" family together.
The BATTY home was one of love and dedication,
where discipline, education, hard work, honesty and
cleanliness were stressed. The hours of washing, iron-
ing, mending, making over clothes to keep the family
going were without nxomber.
There were rows and rows of home grown and canned
foods when your two years supply wasn't even heard of.
There were bushels of fruit grown and sold to help the
family along. Strawberries grown and fruits dried were
numerous and each married child could return home in
season for his full share.
Family ties were welded stronger by two boys
serving their country. By each child, who lived to mat-
urity, graduating from seminary and being married in
the temple. By living through the deaths of three
family members at an early age and a depression when
you had to be self-sufficient to survive. By learn-
ing to respect our neighbors. We were always taught
to address them as brother and sister. By learning
that family fun is the best kind and the family orch-
estra plays the sweetest kind of music. Even though
family night had not been initiated then, it was held
most nights in our home, where candy was pulled, nuts
cracked and games played.
HERITAGE 263
This family now has twenty-five grand children
and twenty one great grandchildres. We have mission-
aries, educators, stake clerks, Relief Society pres-
idents and good church members in our ranks.
Archie passed away in 1950 from a heart attack.
Mary is now (1976) eighty four years of age and enjoys
fairly good health. She is still a wonderful mother at
heart and is always concerned about her family.

Leonard M. Sproul md (3) Elaine Platta OSBORNE
Leonard had the opportunity in his youth to be-
come a crooner on radio networks. It was a temptation ,
but after a close look he turned away, not relishing
the unsettled life of an entertainer. His fine voice
and musical ability were reserved for his family and
friends. He quickly became a tradition at both Chid-
ester and Sproul reunions — neither ever being complete
without Leonard, his ukelele and his songs and ready
wit.
He sold insurance for awhile, then went into real
estate, founding and operating the Sproul Real Estate
Co., Salt Lake City, Ut. He became a director in a
Savings and Loan Co; built and operated (for a time)
a modern nursing home.
One of his most admirable characteristics was the
way in which he cared for his sisters who were widowed,
visiting them often, seeing that they were able to
attend family affairs and in every way meeting their
needs and making life more pleasant for them.

MEMORIES OF FORTY YEARS (1945 Christmas letter of Mel-
vin T. Harmon)
Now listen to me and a story I'll tell, of
thrills I've had and remember so well. While walking
through life, mid pleasure and rain, I'll tell of some
things I've had in the rain. I think of the time when
a boy I run, at play, on skates, on sleigh or with gun;
of pals I had, both girls and boys; our lives were
happy and full of joys. I wondered then in years to
HERITAGE 273
just where I'd be, with whom I'd run. Then one bright
day while at work in the mill, there came a mission
to fulfill. I went to see, some twenty miles away,
my brother before the departing day. While there I
met a lass so true, all through my mission our court-
ing grew.
Thirty months I spent in Father's work and tried
my best no duty to shirk. Week by week her letters
came, in which she said she felt the same. A short
time elapsed, our affection grew and then we promised
to each to be trus. Together we went to God's Temple
grand and there made our vows with hand in hand.
Our first year spent, we had much joy; for 'twas
then we were blessed with a fine baby boy. And e'er
the next year had time to pass, our lives were blessed
with a fine young lass.
I bought a lot on which to dwell, built a two
room home. We thought it swell. Borrowed money,
bought lumber, quite a large bill, then our babies took
sick, grew ill. We thought the Lord would take them
away, we dropped to our knees and sure did pray, as
mother nursed them back with care.
I borrowed more money, lumber to buy, a larger
home to build I sure did try. The home I built —
and Hanson moved in; paid twenty per month to live
therein. We took the babies, on a trip we went,
building the Enterprise Chapel. The winter I spent,
came home in the spring and started work with vim.
Hanson moved out and Harmons moved in. . .My work was
spasmodic with little to gain, so I spent many hours
myself to train. Some three years elapsed with very
little change, times grew harder , bringing new plans
to arrange. I helped build homes and the church as
time passed. . .1 went to work as the depression did
blow. I worked in Ogden, then in Columbia six weeks,
then out by Tooele 'til the days grew bleak.
When the Japs struck Pearl Harbor 'twas a slap
in the face to Uncle Sam's children; grave anger
you could trace. He called them to his colors from
every walk of life. I helped build warehouses;
younger men trained for strife. I found myself em-
ployed with Uncle Sam's working force, so great was
the war our family divided of courage; myself and
three children in the city was no fun, while mother
and two the home tried to run. We tried it four
months then I began to sputter, called mother out of
bed which made her heart flutter. I bargained for a
274 HERITAGE

d 1 May 1963, in a Salt Lake City hospital; bur in
Richfield, Ut; dau of Jeremiah LEAVITT and Mary Ellen
HUNTSMAN. Her first marriage was to Joseph PLATT.
Throughout his life David was an ardent and de-
voted scouter. Along with others in the community he
became interested and sent away for a handbook,
subsequently organizing one of the first scout troops
west of the Mississippi in 1913. He took the boys
camping, fishing, hiking. Taught them to make fire
without matches, to climb the highest mountains,
and to survive in the wilderness. It was no soft
life he led them into. It was no doubt in such
activity that he became an excellent fisherman, lov-
ing the out-of-doors and all of nature. Or that love
could have made him the good scout leader that he was.
Besides farming, he developed great skill as a
natureopath, gathering herbs from the forests and
brewing tonics and remedies of all kinds.
A thoughtful and considerate man of his fam-
ily, one of his greatest contributions was the care he
gave his sister Myrtle, the girl who sacrificed her
life to the raising of her mother's family. He saw
to it that she had transportation, that her wood box
was always filled and that she did not lack.
For four long, lonesome years, he struggled to raise
his own motherless children, teaching his daughters
how to make bread, to keep house and to be responsible
members of the family, honoring the memory of their
lovely mother. Such men are the cream of the earth.

Glen Madison Chidester, first child of James M
and Sarah Jane (Sadie) Casto Chidester, was born in
1898, the year that Lorenzo Snow gave his famous dis-
course and challenge on tithing and promised the Saints
of St. George that they would get rain. Southern
Utah was at that time suffering from one of the sever-
est droughts in its history. This drought had contin-
ued for several years. Cattle had to be driven to
282 HERITAGE
the canyons for water. Thousands of them had died on
the range. It was the middle of June and the people
were so discouraged that many of them would not plow
their land and were not willing to risk the seed for
another planting. Some of the settlers had already
moved away and many otherss were preparing go do so.
The people had faith and the promise was fulfilled.
When Glen was a youngster of about five his
mother would stand him in a tub of sudsy water with a
quilt in it. It was his job to tromp around on it to
get the dirt out. Gifts at Christmas time consisted
of a pocket knife or harmonica, or other small item,
then there would also be a gift at New Years. Glen
got quite proficient on the harmonica.
"The first money I made as a boy was 15 <= for
thinning three rows of beets, which I shared with my
younger brother Gordon who was herding the cows while
I did the beets. Later I worked for 75<J: a day tromping
the hay down on the hay wagon . "
Glen used to milk nine cows and his father Matt
would throw water on him and Gordon if they did not
get out of bed in the morning when they were called to
go out and milk the cows. One morning after several
calls, they sneaked out the window onto the porch
roof and down the porch column. They went into the
kitchen where their mother was fixing breakfast and
told her their secret — to go milk the cows and let
their Dad think they were still in bed. A little later
as he was wont toe do, Matt took a pail of water up
stairs and threw it on the bed that had been fixed to
look like two boys were still asleep in it. When
Matt came back down to the kitchen Glen and Gordon
came in with pails of milk from the bars. Matt was
angry and their straw mattress and bedding had to be
dried out.
"I took violin lessons from Sam Chidester. I
took about 12 lessons and then some girl in the neigh-
borhood came over and tightened the strings so tight
that it broke them and tore up the whole violin. The
pieces flew all over the house. That was the end of
my violin lessons. My Dad bought the violin but I
didn't like it even though I took lessons. I liked
to go swimming in the canal, instead. I liked horse
racing and basketball and baseball. Supper at night,
when I was young was always a bowl of bread and milk."
He and his brother Gordon, as they grew older.
HERITAGE 283
hauled all of the wood for the family fires. They
would take a team of horses and pull the Jack Pine and
Cedar trees over that were dead. They would go to the
hills in the winter time when the snow was bad, work
all day, then start for home. Their clothes would be
soaked with the melted snow and would freeze before
they got home. They could take their overalls off
and stand them up on the floor they would be so stiff.
"When I was 19 a friend of mine decided to join
the Navy and he told me if I would go to Salt Lake
with him he would pay my way. When we got to Salt
Lake we went to get examined and I decided I would
join, too. Well, they took me and rejected him.
When I got back home Dad gave me a kind of a scolding.
He said, 'There is plenty to do on the farm. We need
farm boys to work on the farm. Let the city people go
in the Navy. ' When I left our town to catch the
train there were a lot of people who came to see me
leave on the train. There must have been fifty or
so and we had a three'^ piece band that played.
"I went to San Diego and the first letter I got
from home I had to go out behind the barracks to read
it, I was so homesick. I had to take a lot of exer-
cises in boot camp. I had a vetccination that took and
I was swollen from my arm on up the back of my neck.
Those exercises with dummy guns that you had to snap
real hard, hurt my arm and bothered me so much I just
couldn't keep a straight face. A Chief Petty Officer
got me off and said, 'That isn't going to do you any
good! '
"After boot camp I staid right there and worked
in the galley where they fed the men. I started from
the bottom, right from emptying garbage cans and
working around the sculley. After I got out of that,
they put me on what they called small stores, moving
cases of food and stuff like a quarter of beef. We
had joined for the duration of the war or four years,
whichever came first. I was released after ten months.
I didn't get a discharge until our four years were up;
we were in the reserves and drew $1 per month until the
discharge came. I went back to Venice and topping beets"
Glen worked at many jobs around the Salt Lake
City area. In 1922 he met and married Hannah Barnes.
Jobs for him lasted only for indefinite periods. He
went to work for Utah Copper and for the Bingham-Gar-
field Railroad, but was laid off just before Christmas,
284 HERITAGE
in 1924. With $75.00 saved and $75.00 borrowed, he
bought a truck and began hauling coal. He hauled ice
in the summer and coal in the winter. His company
slogan was, "You can tell our drivers by the slack
in their pants!" In 1930, with profits small, he
turned the business over to his father. Matt, to
make what he could at it and Glen went on the road
selling woolens for the Utah Woolen Mills.
In 1927 he and Hannah adopted a son whom they
named Ronald. In 1934, Glen found that Hannah had
gone to California and when she hadn't returned two
months later he divorced her for desertion.
Back on the road. Glen met Doris Miller in
Nebraska. She was working in a hotel at the tigie,
but had been raised on a farm. After the death of
her father, Doris had worked in the fields by the
side of her brothers to maintain the family farm.
As the brothers married and left the home farm, Doris
assumed more and more of the responsibility until, at
the age of 17 she was married to Clem DAY, by whom
she had two daughters :
(1) Dorothy Fern DAY b 12 Feb 1923
(2) Ruth Marie DAY b 8 July 1926.
Problems developed with the young family and
Doris and Clem separated, finally obtaining a diverge.
Doris supported herself by working for a time as a
housekeeper in the home of her cousin, Burt MILLER,
in Denver, Colo. She returned to Holdrige, Nebr. ,
and worked for an elderly couple for a time, moving
from there to Fremont, Nebr., where she worked in the
hotel where Glen found her.
Glen and Doris were married in Denver, Colo., then
returned to Salt Lake. Glen changed jobs and worked
for a time for Shank Woolen Mills, then a few years
later he started selling real estate. Moving from
Salt Lake to Sandy in 1942, they bought a home with
acreage where they could raise a garden and have room
for the boys to grow. There were years of struggle
and hardship but the children remember fondly how
their mother worked hard canning fruit and vegetables;
baking bread almost daily to keep them fed; working
nights as a nurse to an invalid woman to help meet
living expenses, yet always being home when they were;
being the last one to get a new dress or a pair of
shoes. They remember Dad being involved in an auto
accident which nearly took his life and left his left
HERITAGE 285
arm somewhat twisted; the emotional and physical
drain that came from the lack of money and means
to take care of a big family through the difficult
depression years.
When the children were raised and most of them
married, Glen and Doris sold the two and a half acres
and moved to a smaller home. They later sold that
also and became managers of a 34 unit apartment
building in Salt Lake City. They managed the apart-
ments long past the regular age for retirement and
always kept the apartments rented because Doris al-
ways kept everything so clean that people wanted to
live there. After about nine years as managers they
decided to retire and moved to another apartment house
owned by the same man. Within the year the boss talked
them into managing that 30 unit house which was easier
because of less turnover in tenants. They managed
that apartment house for one year and then retired
again. They were able to take a few trips and enjoy
life together before Doris lost her husband of forty
years.

Actually the son of Donald and Rochelle STRASBURG
(brother and sister-in-law of Mrs. Chidester) he was
brought to the Chidester home at the age of eight
months because of the separation of his parents. It
was to be a temporary arrangement until the estranged
couple could be reconciled. That time never came
and after years of anxious waiting, Robbie, who had
become an integral part of the family, was legally
adopted and became a Chidester. In high school Robbie
engaged in sports and also played the trombone in the
high school band and in a jazz band. Returned from
a mission to Sweden in Apr 1976, he plans to continue
his education at the Universityof Utah, his wife work-
HERITAGE 289
ing to help him through.
Still a baby when the family moved from Rich —
field, Ut. , to the small neighboring farm community of
Venice, Earl did his growing up on the farm there,
helping his father and brothers in all the varied
activities of farm life. At the age of fifteen they
moved to Delta, Ut. , then from there to Salt Lake City.
It was the depression years and there were no jobs for
young people. His older sister Reta and her husband
had moved to Highland, Utah, to work on a farm and
Earl followed them. Highland is a small farm communi-
ty located between American Fork and Alpine, Utah.
It was while living on the farm at Highland,
that Earl had a blind date and met his future wife.
Thelma had graduated from high school at age sixteen.
A keen student and avid reader, she tried to find work
but the only thing available to her was housework or
work in the fields picking berries or other produce.
This avocation prepared her well to be the wife of a
farmer.
Married in Salt Lake City, Ut. , by Justice of
the Peace Mr. GYGI, the young couple returned to High-
land to make their home. James Earl was a farmer,
having grown up on a fainn and more lately hiring out as
a farm hand. Eventually he and Thelma obtained a small
farm and made that their vocation until the needs of
their growing family could no longer be supported with
the income from the farm. It was then that he went to
work for United States Steel Co., at Geneva, Ut. He
continued his farming and working for the Steel Company
for twenty eight years until his retirement.

My first recollection was the family moving from
Venice, Ut. , to a house in Delta, Ut. , where I lived
just prior to and when I started school. We moved to
another house in Delta which stays in my memory because
it had a sink. It didn't work but it represented a
real step up in status.
When I was 9 we moved from that house to Salt
Lake City where I lived the rest of my single life.
I went to school at Madison grade and junior high
school and then to Granite High for one year. It
was two miles away and I dropped out of school and went
to work for two years, then went back to graduate at
South High in 1941.
In December 1940 I met James F. MOORE at a skat-
ing rink. He was in the Air Force and stationed at
the Salt Lake Airport at the time. We were married at
my home and then went to live in a small apartment on
E St. and 2nd Ave. in Salt Lake for the six months be-
fore he went overseas. His ship was at sea when World
War II began. I worked during the time he was over-
HERITAGE 293
seas, first at a laundry and then at Remington Arms
plant making bullets.
He returned from overseas and I joined him at
Pyote, Texas, moving from there to Columbus, Ohio,
and then to Dayton, Ohio. Our first son, Frank James
was injured at birth and has suffered from cerebral
palsy all of his life.
In 1953 Jim was transferred to San Antonio for
a brief period and then to Neassuer, French Province,
Morroco, where the boys and I joined him in Feb 19 54.
We lived in Casa Blanca until Sept 1955.
There was a brief assignment in Clearfield, Ut.,
at Hill Field. In 1959 Jim was sent to Germany for a
tour of duty. I sold the home we had bought in Roy,
Ut., moved in with my parents till our orders came and
we flew to Bitburg, Germany, where we lived part time
at the base and part time in town from 1960 to 1962.
While there I had surgery on both ears for a hearing
problem I had since the birth of the last child.
In Dec. 1962, we had Christmas visits with our
families and went on to George Air Force Base at
Victorville, Cal. We lived there on base for six months
and then were transferred to March Air Force Base so
Frank could attend a special class in Redlands for the
orthopedically handicapped. We bought a house there
and moved in June, 1963. This was to be our last home
together as a family.
Our marriage was dissolved on 14 July 1972, by
final decree. I staid in the home. I had started to
college while taking Frank to school and have finish-
ed two years. I planned to become a nurse but started
working as a medical secretary and insurance clerk for
Dr. WILLIAMSON
Frank has married and lives with other people
in a group marriage. Besides his son I also claim the
other boy born in the marriage as grandson. His name
is Kilynn.
Jerry is living away from home at present and
plays drums in a rock band.

The first home I remember was in Delta, Ut. It
was a large white brick house near the outskirts of
town. It was here I enjoyed the companionship of my
sister Connie and that of a neighbor boy, Franklin
CARRY. When my sister and I found empty thread
spools and fastened them tor our shoes with rubber
bands, Franklin did likewise.
Summer days were sometimes warm enough to warr-
ant an excursion by the family to the "old swimming
hole" — an irrigation ditch. Commercial swimming suits
were something of a luxury, but one of our older
dresses tucked into the elastic in the legs of our
bloomers served just as well.
Later on we moved to a house a little 2 further
out in the country and it was from this home that I
started school. It was necessary to ride the bus.
Sometimes when I thought I was ready to leave for the
bus stop, Mother would discover that I had not prop-
erly rid myself of some honestly accummulated dirt,
or that it was time I changed to cleaner apparel and
I might be found correcting the oversight when those
collected at the bus stop began to call, "Here comes
the bus!"
Half way through my first year of school the
family moved to Salt Lake City where we lived for a
time in a large house on South State St. I have
many fond memories of life in this house. There were
fireplaces in several rooms, an attic, a long hall
and a very large yard which contained several horse
chestnut trees. The move to Wentworth Ave didn't
change my school at Madison. There, also, I remember
attending the Burton Ward, saving grocery receipts to
exchange for tickets to' the weekly Ward movie.
Our third grade class helped plant trees at the
school on Arbor Day. Graduating from Madison, I
HERITAGE 295
attended Granite High School, walking the two miles
twice a day until my senior year when bus service was
installed. I graduated from thisschool, proud to have
made it through, but sorry for my Mother that she was
so old that her youngest was graduating.
I was able, with the help of my sister, to get a
job in a laundry. Next, another sister helped me get
a job in a bakery. It was ventilated by a fan so
was better. I worked also in the fabric department of
Auerbach's one Christmas season, actually getting this
job on my own. Eventually, with the help of a third
sister, I worked at United Airlines Commissary.
One Saturday afternoon I stood before Herman
GYGI, a justice of the peace, in the front room of our
house and said" I do" to Ray Dean SALMANS. There was a
very nice reception, after which we left for Topeka,
Kansas, to meet Ray's folks. I really can't recommend
Kansas for a July honeymoon. The temperatures soared
to 110° in the daytime, cooling off to 90 at night.
We had been married about six months when Dean
left for Anchorage, Alaska, to take a job there. I
followed him shortly and spent two years there, re-
turning to Utah in 1950, and from there to Corona Del
Mar. After the birth of our daughter, we bought a
home in Newport Beach and have lived there since.
Our oldest son has an apartment in Fullerton and
works for Globe Union, making batteries. Sherri is a
school teacher and Greg has graduated from high school
and is working for a local butcher shop as clean up
boy and clerk, beginning to learn the trade in general.
Dad works for Benmar Marine Radio in the service de-
partment and Mother is deep in genealogy and loving
every minute of it.

Born and raised in Bicknell, John William Chid-
ester was known as Will most of his life. He was a
good athlete and had a chance to go to college but did
not take it because he wanted to work and make a living,
He worked in his father's sawmill and was a good sawyer
and carpenter. He built a home on a lot in Bicknell
and raised his own garden and animals for the necess-
ities of life. After his family got too big for the
first home he built another one on a part of the same
HERITAGE 301
property.
He was a good fisherman and could catch fish when
no one else could. He died while fishing in Nov 1962.
His wife, Amanda, the 3rd child in a family of
15, was also born and raised in Bicknell. When she
was just 15 years of age she was returning home from
a dance when the wagon in which she was riding over-
turned. Amanda was thrown onto a rock and broke her
shoulder. There was no doctor to take care of her
and some of the men tried to set the shoulder by plac-
ing an object under her arm and then lowering the arm
to her side to bring the bones into position. Of
course, it didn't get set right and was always a prob-
lem to her. A small woman, she still worked hard and
raised a big family besides three of her grandchild-
ren and also providing a home for six of her brothers
while they attended school.
After Will's death, Amanda moved to Salt Lake
City to be near doctors and to do temple work but
still maintained her home in Bicknell which she visits
regularly in the summer. At age 85 she has had five
pacemakers installed at various times.

herded cattle, and picked up lime rocks to be burned
in his father's kiln. He and his brothers, during
their high school years, learned to use their initia-
tive in finding work of all sorts. One siommer they
leased a sand and gravel pit and hauled those commo-
dities for builders. In the winter they made a con-
tract to unload coal at the rail yard. They would
attend school during the day, then shovel coal at
night. Each car held about sixty tons of coal. Work-
ing hard they could unload a car in about four hours
and for this they received $20.00 per car.
The summer before his senior high school year,
Walter was working on a road job hauling concrete,
During the summer he suffered several attacks of append-
icitis. Returning home for school the doctor advised
that he must have an operation. He was reluctant, for
he was a football player and didn't want to miss play-
ing any of '^the games in his senior year. However,
the need was acute and the operation was performed.
The fourth day afterwards he was roaming the halls of
the hospital and helping the nurses fold clothes, visit-
ing with them and doing all sorts of odd jobs. The
eighth day he walked two miles to go home and the third
week afterwards he was playing football for the school.
The sojourn in the hospital introduced him to
the wonder world of girls and soon he was dating nurse
Helen Csrr. An elopement to Green River ensued but
the marriage was kept secret until Hazel decided that
they should go to Colorado to visit her family for
Christmas. The Chidester family was advised of the
marriage and Walter set out on his life's trail.
The trip was made in Hazel's 1926 Star as far as
Montrose, Colo. The roads from there on were impass-
able because of storm, so the car was parked and the
rest of the trip made by train and stage coach to the
Meredo Ranch, Hazel's family home. Remaining at the
ranch for the winter, Walter worked carrying mail
across the mesa from Sapinero to Meredo. When the snow
became too heavy he and a brother-in-law fabricated a
ski-mobile from an old Ford car, which they used until
the snow melted.
In the spring Hazel obtained work at a hospital
in Pueblo and Walter worked for the gas company for a
time, going from there to Denver. Work was uncertain
at best. The telephone company hired him to help build
telephone lines from Nebraska but that took him away
almost continuatly. Hazel was working and living at a
318 HERITAGE
hospital, It was only natural that differences should
arise and the marriage should end in divorce.
Walter obtained a job with the railroad, engaged
as a carpenter to build bridges, and was sent to Walk-
er, Wyo. , where he met a tyrant of a boss. Never be-
fore had he seen a bull whip used to intimidate men,
but it was used there. After an altercation with his
boss, Walter quit the job, sent the money he had earn-
ed to Hazel, and hitchhiked to Casper, Wyo., where he
obtained work with a rancher.
Ranching was a familiar field. He enjoyed the
work there and loved the family. The pay was good and
he could save most of it. Living with a family like
that, he began thinking of home and soon decided he
had been gone long enough.
After a short visit with the family in Price, Ut.,
Walter went to Salt Lake City and obtained work with
the Mountain States Telephone Co. He helped to re-
build the lines from Richfield to Kanab and back to
Thistle. Then, on a visit home he met the girl who
was to become his life-long companion. They were
married in Salt Lake City and went to live first in
Thistle.
This marriage was a good one. He was more mat-
ure and had lucrative employment. That made a differ-
ence. And Delta was the kind of a girl who dedicated
herself to making the marriage work and who could meet
the trials and emergencies of life with dignity and
serenity.
During their first year Delta bumped her leg on the
stove and a sore developed that refused to heal. Walt-
er took her to Price to see the doctor and it was found
that she had developed osteomylitis and an operation
was necessary. For several months Delta walked only
with crutches and had to be near the doctor. In order
to be close to his wife, Walter quit the telephone
company and went to work in the coal mine that his fath-
er had leased. On the side he also worked cutting logs
and operating a sawmill.
The family began to increase. Each time. Delta
suffered difficult pregnancies and the births were
accompanied by complications that threatened her life.
After the mining lease ran out, the family tried
farming in Green River. The depression years were on
and the venture didn't work out well. There was a
brief try at living in Bancroft, Idaho, and a job for
a time on the railroad in Grand Junction, Colo. , foil-
HERITAGE 319
owed by coal mining in Sunnyside, Utah. After a per-
iod of part time work in the mines, Walter finally
was put on full time and for eleven years worked as
carpenter in the mines. He bought a lot and built
their first home that was fully theirs.
A trip with his parents into Arizona and another
one to California with his sister, convinced Walter
that there were green pastures elsewhere. Coal min-
ing was on the downgrade again and he was back on a
part time basis; his children were growing up, marry-
ing and leaving the family nest. It was time for a
change.
With a 1941 Chrysler car, a trailer and a tent,
Walter and his family set out for California, arriv-
ing 2 March 1951. Living in the tent for two weeks
after arrival, they finally found a home they thought
they could afford and moved in to 16126 Hart St.,
North Hollysood. Walter found a job under the carpent-
er's union. Local #844, in Reseda and began work on
big buildings, storm drains and freeway bridges.
When the Van Nuys airport was enlarged their home
was taken and the family moved to Sylmar, but didn't
remain there long. Their last move was to 15128
Marson, Van Nuys.
The Mormon Church was building a stake center in
Van Nuys and Walter went to work Saturdays, days off
and evenings to help in the building. Delta became
involved in the various meetings and activities and
soon they were both involved. Since then she has
served as librarian, teacher, visiting teacher and
supervisor in the church. Walter has answered every
call to be successively Elder's quorum counsellor.
High Priest counsellor; ward clerk; teacher,
building maintenance; home teacher; and together they
served two inspirational missions for the Church, build-
ing chapels in Japan.
Since their release from the last mission they
have been involved with raising the children of their
eldest daughter who passed away; and in answering the
demands of an ever expanding family. Counting those
who have married into the family, Walter and Delta
stand at the head of a family of fifty-three — children,
grandchildren, great grandchildren.

Arthur LAKE
Orvill 's earliest memory was of going out with
his older brothers to bring the cows in from the
pasture. There was a strange looking animal with the
cows and Orvill ran to the house to tell his father
of the cow with the big horns on its h©ad. His father
realized from the description what it, was, grabbed
his gun and got to the door just in time to see a big
deer jump the feace and disappear into the cedars.
Each time the family moved there was a period of
time when they lived in a tent that was mounted on low
wooden walls over a wooden floor. During one of those
times Father was away at work and Mother had gone to
help a sick neighbor, leaving the four boys home alone.
A wind came up and whipped the flap of the tent so
that it went over the stove in which there was a fire.
The flap caught fire and the tent was soon in flames.
The boys had presence of mind enough to carry as much
of the contents out as they could, all the while try-
ing to put the fire out. Their only water supply was
a barrel of water that their father had hauled up from
the spring. The tent was a total loss but the boys
had managed to save most of the household goods and
were unhurt .
Fire was to figure in Orvill 's life again, for,
still a young boy, he was sent to light a fire under
the tub that had been set up in the yard to heat water
for the wash. There had been a fire there the night
before, but boy-like, Orvill thought to make the job
easier he would douse the chips with gas. An old ember
was still hot enough to ignite the gas and it flash-
ed out, catching the boy unaware and setting his
clothes on fire. He made a dash for the ditch
thinking to find water there, but the ditch was dry.
He ran back towards the house where he met his father
322 HERITAGE
who had seen what was happening and had grabbed a
quilt. Pulling the burning overalls from the boy,
he then wrapped him in the quilt and extinguished the
fire. There were severe burns and Orvill spent six
months in bed recuperating. After the burns were
healed it was found that he had laid in one position
so long that his legs were set in a bent position and
he couldn't walk. His brothers worked with him, mak-
ing him exercise and trying to strengthen the weak
muscles. To stretch the tendons they would have him
sit on a chair and put his feet on another chair and
then they would push on his knees to straighten them
out. It was painful, but it worked.
At the age of 16 Orvill quit school to go to work
in the coal mine his father had leased in Dead Man
Canyon. Orvill had been trained to work hard and he
loved to work. He owned a team of horses in which he
took great pride. He used the team to haul coal or
sand and gravel, whatever his father should require.
As he grew older and decided he needed a change
of scenery, Orvill took a week end trip with his cousin
who was hauling coal over the mountain to Lehi, Ut.
There he met Sadie Beth and fell in love with her.
After a short courtship they were married and return-
ed to Dead Man Canyon to live. A year passed and a
baby was expected. Sadie Beth returned to her home
in Lehi for the birth and remained there for a time,
with Orvill coming to see them every week end that he
could.
Eventually Orvill was able to build a house in
Price to which he moved his family. He continued to
work at the mine but was able to be home with his fami-
ly. Exchanging his team for a truck he was able to do
considerable hauling of coal, sand and gravel and other
things on the side.
When the steel mill was being built in Prove, Ut. ,
Orvill decided that he would like to see if he couldn't
find work other than coal mining and moved his family
to Lehi. There he hauled sand and gravel to the steel
plant for a time, then operated a fork lift for the
brick plant in Lehi where they were making bricks to
line the furnaces of the mill. He was doing well econ-
omically, but in 194 5, decided that he could do better
back in Price.
Home again, he began working for the Spring Can-
yon Coal Company as a tipple mechanic, staying there
until 1959, when the mine closed.
HERITAGE 323
Orvill was always kind and considerate of his
parents and grandmother, ever ready to help them in
any way he could. He remained in Price as long as
they needed him. Then in 1961, he moved his family
to Salt Lake where he obtained work. They tried
apartment living for a short time and decided that
was not for them. Looking around at possibilities
they settled on a mobile home. They have exchanged
homes several times, always going to a larger one.
They have lived at the same location for 15 years.
Besides their four children they have six-
teen grandchildren.

James Ray CHIDESTER was born on the family home-
stead between Bluebell and Altonah, Utah, the first of
seven children botn to Charles Ray and Winnie May
Heath Chidester. At various times he lived in Altonah,
Sunnyside, Huntington, Storrs (now Spring Canyon) and
Price, Ut. He graduated from high school in Price, U. ,
in 1931 and soon thereafter the family moved to Green
River , Ut .
While living in Green River, James met Irene
BOOTH who was there visiting her grandmother and work-
ing. After their marriage they continued to live in
Green River until 1941 when they moved to San Diego,
Cal. , where Ray worked for Convair making parts for
B24 bombers all during World War II.
In 1945, after VE Day they moved to Clearfield,
Utah, where Ray worked for thirteen years. In the fall
of 1952 they bought six and a half acres of land in
East Layton, a beautiful spot high on the mountain=
side overlooking the Great Salt Lake. The land was
covered with oak brush. They built a house and planted
a garden. Irene went to work at Ogden Arsenal build-
ing bombs for the Korean War, to pay for a Shetland
pony, saddle and bridle which they gave to their six
sons for Christmas that year. Irene's mother gave them
a cow so the boys could have all the milk, cream and
butter they wanted. They moved into the house in
March 1953 and continued to build it around them.
In 1957 after the oldest son graduated and went
to work for United Airlines in San Francisco, he was
able to obtain passes for his parents and they began
traveling on their vacations.
Fall of 1957 Ray quit working for the Arsenal
and went to work for Marquardt Company in Ogden as a
machinist making parts for the moon rockets. Irene
worked for Internal Revenue Service and Hill Air Force
Base as key punch and a data communications operator.
In 1961 their house burned. They decided to take
the insurance money and start to build a new, larger
328 HERITAGE
house on the property. They did all the work them-
selves. Even the littlest ones helped. They moved
into it in June 1962, then repaired the damage to the
old house and rented it. In 1968 they built another
house on the property for Irene's mother. She died in
1969, so they rented that house, too.
In 1972 Marquardt abandoned their plant in Ogden
and moved to Van Nuys, California, giving their employ-
ees the chance to go with them. Ray and Irene decided
to move.
They have always been active in the Church and
held many positions. Ray is now (1976) assistant
ward clerk and Irene specializes in publishing ward
newspapers. She has continued her education since
the children are grown and expects to graduate from
college.

during World War II. Following the war he attended Utah
State College in Logan, Utah, where he later graduated
and continued studying. He also studied at Massachus-
etts Institute of Technology.
Not long after his marriage in the Logan LDS

where he worked for the government in secret experi-
mental work. After the birth of their first daughter,
John and Eldora moved back to Logan, Ut., where he
taught school in Utah State University.

At the age of three Kathlene began training in ballet
and tap dancing, becoming very proficient in the ball-
et. Her vivid imagination created a "pretend" kang-
aroo pet who lived in the bathroom. Then while in
first grade, she accidentally cut holes in a new dress.
When she arrived home she explained the holes by tell-
ing of a huge moth that flew into the room and chew-
ed the holes in her dress.
A graduate of LDS Business College in Salt Lake City,
she holds a secretarial degree and worked as a secre-
tary to the LDS Church Building Administrator.
12-641 Michele BUTLER b 23 July 1956, Salt Lake City, Ut;
Bom with a hip defect, Michele had to wear a brace
until she was 9 months old. Overcoming the defect,
she studied tap and baL-let. At the age of five she
began studying the piano and at eight she added violin,
becoming very proficient on both instruments. Just
prior to her graduation from high school she received
two scholarships: one for violin solo and the other
from the Board of Education. In 1976 she was in her
junior year tha the University of Utah majoring in
elementary education with a minor in music.
When I (Julia Ellen Chidester) was a year old my
family moved to Green River, Utah. One of our neighbors
was a sweet old lady whom we called 'Aunt Anna' She
had a slate so people could write her notes; she was
totally deaf. When I was old enough to go to school I
HERITAGE 331
would hurry home each day so I could "converse" with
AuntAnna on her slate.
While we lived in Green River my father traveled
most of the time on his job. In the summer he would
take my mother and me with him. I looked forward to
traveling with him throughout the southern and east-
ern parts of the state where he dealt mostly with Ind-
ians. He knew the country well and would always tell
me stories to make the trip very interesting.
We lived in Green River for nine years and then
my father became very ill and we moved back to Price.
About two weeks before my eleventh birthday he died.
While I was attending junior high school and high
school I enjoyed writing for the school papers. It
was then, also, that I became interested in photo-
graphy and was the secretary for the Carbon Camera Club
for two years. In my senior year a blind girl, Lorna
GRAMES, attended our school and I was asked to be
her reader. This was a very enriching experience for
me.
After graduation from Carbon High School, I moved
to Salt Lake City where I attended LDS Business College.
While there I was associate editor of the school paper.
It was there also that I met Roland DeGraw BUTLER.
I have had the pleasure of holding positions in
all the auxiliary organization of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints and doing genealogy and
temple work. I have attended sessions in all the
temples in the western part of the United States (with
the exception of two) and have found great joy in doing
so. I pray that I might be able to work in the church
all the days of my life.

west Mounted Police at Regina, Saskatchewan. The date
of my discharge from that service was 11 July 1919, at
Regina. Theaters of service were Canada and Siberia.
Service number was 2772545.

Although only about three and a half years of
age when his parents moved from Kanosh, Ut. , still
Harald Leigh Cropper's earliest memories are of .th©£'je%
He remembers mostly the Indians:
First: A squaw came once a week to help his
mother with the family washing. The washing was done,
in summer , outside in the yard where an old stove was
placed to heat the water. Harald had a beloved pet
cat. Her favorite nook was the oven of the old stove
where she curled up to sleep. One time the squaw
closed the oven door, not knowing that the cat was in-
side, built a raging fire and left for other chores
while the water was heating in the boilers on top of
the stove. The tragedy made a lasting impression on
the small boy.
Second: A horse in the field across the street
was one of the attractions a boy loved to watch. Some-
how the horse sickened and died. The owner hired some
of the local Indian men to haul the horse away. The
boy connected the death of the horse with the Indians
who had removed it and formed a sad impression of Ind-
ians in general. The Kanosh Indians were among the
most peaceful and friendly of all the tribes in all
the west, but not in the mind of young Harald Cropper.
Moving to Provo, the family lived in a house
owned by the Darlings and were very near Grandma Esther
Chidester Pulsipher Snow. There Harald played with
cousins Dave Thomas and Elton Siomner and others. Then
came the move to Charleston, Utah. He remembered many
things about Charleston: his first year at school;
deep snow and sleigh rides; going to Midway in Bob-
sleighs in the winter to swim in the "Hot-Pots"; fish-
ing; going with a small red wagon to gather mushrooms
after a rainstorm; taking the town cows to :the mead-
ow; learning to swim in the Provo river; water snakes
"^'^^ HERITAGE
around the river; Rattlesnakes on the hills. When he
was about eight there was a flood that covered all the
meadow land.
The railroad depot was very near the hotel in
which his family lived. It had a high platform made
of planks withcracks between. One day Har^lQ wai
exploring as boys will, in the dark place under the
platform, watching the sunshine mage stripes of light
in the dark, when he discovered a real gold mine. The
sun hit a 50<: peice. This precious place was searched
often after that discovery and was usually good for
ten to twenty five cents.
The first automobile he remembers was driven to
Charleston by Mr. Auerbach who owned the store of the
same name in Salt Lake City. Mr. Auerbach, along with
other well-to-do men, came often to Charleston to enjoy
the canyon and the fishing. He usually came on the
train. The first automobile which he drove there chugg-
ed along at about twelve miles per hour. It had no top;
the back seat was two feet higher than the front seat
and there was a big, square engine.
The train, running from Provo to Heber City, came
to Charleston once a day in the siommer time. It was
really a freight train with a passenger car added.
During the winter months the train did not run because
ipf the deep snow. It is still operating and is now
called the "Heber Creeper."
One of Harald's favorite people in Charleston was
a Mr. Driggs, son of the Howard Driggs who wrote the
"Live Language Books" that were used in the grade schools
for many, many years. Mr. Driggs taught the boys many
things while living at the hotel: how to make bows and
arrows, sling shots, flute whistles.
Father Cropper was asked to be principal of the
school in Midvale, Utah, a steel and smelter town.
There Harald and his brothers were kept busy tending
the huge garden which provided vegetables for the table
and some to be sold to neighbors. During his teen years
jobs included topping and thinning sugar beets. School
closed for two weeks in the fall for beet topping.
There was a large sugar factory in West Jordan. Harald
was only fourteen when he first worked at the factory.
. .pushing a wheelbarrow full of beet tops up a ramp,
bringing it back empty to find another loaded for him
to push up the ramp again. He worked a twelve hour
shift each day, walking almost two miles to and from
work.

At the age of fifteen Harald, who was large and
strong for his age, began work at the smelter. During
the school year he would go to the smelter on Friday
after school and "rustle" for a job, then work the ent-
ire week end. He learned most of the jobs at the smel-
ter and became what was known as a "swing man"
Working as he had, made Harald strong and hard so
that during his high school years he was a valued foot-
ball player. During the last two years he did not
miss one minute of any game despite the fact that he
received a broken collar bone, three broken ribs, a
broken right foot and a broken nose. When he broke
the three ribs, the game was held up for half an hour
while the team doctor taped Harald up. He played at
half back and the last two years was center.
At the University of Utah where he was study-
ing engineering, Harald was in the quartet with the
glee club. They sang in the old Salt Lake Theater;
put on the opera "Sampson and Delilah;" and were off-
ered a job with the Pantages Circuit.
His first business venture was a sort of a hot
dog-hamburger stand with groceries as a side line. He
and his partner called it The Barney Google. One day
a salesman who was also a distributor, asked Harald to
sell for him on a trial basis. He took the job and
was instrumental in introducing the Cardinet Candy
line to South Salt Lake City and as far south as St.
George. This line included the Baffle Bar and Uno
Bar lines.
Always active in the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints, Harald has served variously as
counselor and president of Mutual Improvement Assoc-
iations; Sunday School superintendent; stake mission-
ary; missionary to Texas; high priest group leader;
counselor in a bishopric; teacher. He says: "I know
t hat the Church is true, and many of my prayers have
been answered. Wherever we have lived, I have always
supported the bishop who was over the ward. I love
the Temple. That is the closest place to heaven that
we can enter on this earth. I hope that all of our
posterity will be able to enjoy the temple blessings.
My family has always been of utmost importance to me."
Mariam says: "Harald was blessed at birth with
a great voice. As a child he sang in public functions.
As he matured, he developed a most unusual tenor voice--
338

clear, great range, great volume. He sang in all the
ward choirs wherever we lived."

Most of Paul's childhood, a happy one, was spent
in Midvale, Utah, where his father was principal of
the elementary school. He finished grade and high
school in Jordan District and later graduated from LDS
Business College in Salt Lake City, in Accounting and
Auditing.
Paul was working in Salt Lake City for Lovinger's
Disinfectant Compnay when he met Louise Fenn who was
teaching school at Plymouth Elementary in Salt Lake City.
After moving around at different jobs for a time,
Paul and Louise went to Twin Fails, Idaho. After the
birth of their first son they decided to return to Salt
Lake City. It proved difficult to find work in Salt
Lake so they moved to Salina, Utah. They remained there
for nine years with Paul doing different jobs, rang-
ing from WPA (Works Progress Administra.) accounting in
an office and traveling doing government work as Dist-
rict Finance Officer in three counties. Paul grew in
his work continually.
From Salina, Paul and Louise moved to Orem into
a rented house and from there to a new home in American
Fork a year later. Paul became Chief Accountant of
Schulman Electric Company when they built Geneva Steel
in Orem. The family stayed in American Fork until Aug
1945 when they bought a home in Salt Lake City. At
that time Paul went to work for the State of Utah in
the Capitol Building as Chief Accountant for the State
Road Commission. He spent several years at that job,
then moved to the Utah State Prison to the position of
Business Manager. He continued to work for the prison
for nineteen years when he was asked to return to the
340
HERITAGE
State Capitol as Fiscal Director of the Correction
Department in 1972. He held this last position approx-
imately two years until his retirement in 1974.
Very devoted in his church service, he filled
two stake missions and was President of his 70 's Quo-
rum and his High Priest's Group. Paul also did a lot
of temple work and was looking forward to a mission
with his wife, Louise.
Paul's pride and joy was his family: his four
children and their spouses, his thirteen grandchild-
ren. He was very generous with his time and money
whenever his family was concerned. They always said
that he had a tough exterior with a marshmallow
interior.
Paul and Louise traveled extensively through the
years, taking their children as long as they were home
with them. To celebrate their 50th wedding anniver-
sary in 1975, Paul and Louise traveled to the Carrib-
ean in January that year.
Paul's life was one of service to his government
and to the state of Utah, his family and his church.
His jobs were of distinction and well performed. He
had a very pleasing personality and everyone loved
him. The Governor of Utah said that Paul was the only
man in the state who could save them money!
Paul died just short of his 50th wedding anniver-
sary.

Although born in Charleston, my boyhood was spent
in Sandy and Midvale, Utah. In Midvale we had about
two thirds of an acre of land on which many fruits
and vegetables were raised. Schooling was at Jordan
High and the University of Utah. Boyhood work consist-
ed of selling vegetables, delivering the Salt Lake
Telegram, thinning and topping beets, and various other
tasks on a farm. Sports included swimming, roller-
skating, sleigh riding, basketball, football, tennis.
Following work at Walker Mine, California, and
Bingham, Utah, and an extra year at school, there was
a mission to England. Thea came work as an engineer at
the Tintic Standard Mining Company in Dividend, Utah,
for five years; then a year's military service in the
15th Infantry at Ft. Lewis, Wash., and the 27th Engin-
eers at Portland, Oregon.
Marriage to Leora Curtis took place in the Salt
Lake temple and after a honeymoon in Seattle^, Wash.,
there was work as a metallurgist for four years at
Boeing Airplane Co., during World War II. Since Sept
1945, we have lived ten years in Salt Lake City and
fifteen years in Granger. There was work a short time
with the Galigher Co; Utah Idaho Sugar Co; and War
Assets Administration; then twenty five years as a
mining engineer for the U.S.S.R.& M. Co at Bingham
and Lark, Ut.
It has been a pleasure to take vacation trips,
usually with at least some of our six children, seeing
the northwest, California, Canada, the Cumorah Pageant,

New England and other points of interest.
Always there has been church activity: with the
youth, as stake missionary or in genealogical pursuits.
The wife and children have been a delight. The last
four years we have lived in a double wide mobile home
in Provo. Our tiny lot is easy to keep beautiful with
lovely lawn and lots of flowers. The principal form
of exercise is riding a bicycle. Hobbies are genea-
logical research, visiting relatives and playing tennis.

Born in Gilroy, Calif., the first son of Allen
Ross Arthur Sr. and Christa Chidester, I attended
school, elementary and high school, in South Gate,
Cal. Also, one year of Junior College in Compton. I
attended the Walnut Park Ward until my marriage and we
moved away from that area.
I was married to Nedra Arden BROUSSEAU and we
have two sons. We had the misfortune of losing our
second son.
I worked in partnership with my father in the
livestock business in the Inperial Valley the first
few years of my marriage, then I started in the live-
stock transportation, in a business of my own. It grew
to be quite prosperous, but I decided I would like to
haul commodities as well as livestock, so I sold the
Allen Arthur Transportation business and bought another
business and named it the Thunderbird Freight Lines.
This grew to be a very prosperous business, grossing
$16 million per year. It was sold to Delta in 1975.
Today I reside in Newport Beach, Cal., with my
wife Nedra and I am currently a major owner of Del
Taco Fast Food Co. I am still active in the cattle
feeding business.
My hobbies consist of boating and fishing and
entertaining my grand daughter Tiffani.

Close family relationships in her youth gave Thelma
CHIDESTER a keen appreciation of heritage and ancestry.
Living closely with her mother's people and working with
her mother on the Workman family records taught her gen-
ealogical research. In her early teens her Mother bought
a typewriter for her and said, "You must learn to type
so you can be the recorder of the information we find
about our family!" After that, her summers and free time
369
HERITAGE
during the school year were spent in that activity.
The early death of her father had separated Thelma
somewhat from her paternal relatives. They were living
in Richfield, Utah, while she grew up in mid-state
Delta. Grandfather Chidester, who was a judge and
active politically, made frequent trips to Salt Lake
City . On the way he would swing around by Delta to see
"John's family." Thelma looked forward to these visits.
She loved him very much and then, too, it gave her
prestige with her peers to have so illustrious grand-
father. On these visits he would take the family riding
in his car, a rarity in Delta; take them with him to
visit other relatives and on picnics. Always there
would be a box of flowers addressed to Thelma from
Grandma Allie.
Besides the school in Delta, Thelma graduated
from, high school in Cedar City, Utah, and received
her bachelor's degree from the University of Utah in
Salt Lake City, Utah. There had been a delightful
stammer when she accompanied her mother on a gen-
ealogical expedition. They attended a term of summer
school at the University of Illinois in Chicago, did
research there, then went on to Ohio to meet and work
with distant relatives there.
Marriage to Elmer C. ANDERSON did not lessen the
genealogical ardor. Orphaned at age 16, he had been
self-supporting since that time and had spent some
years at sea as a radio operator. He loved being a
member of a big family. His parents having emigrated
from Sweden, he hadn't known the companionship of
cousins , grandparents and others. He was caught up
in the family fever.
Grandfather CHIDESTER, who had always taken care
of the family records and reunions, was dead. So,
also, was his sister who had succeeded him in the work.
Thelma and Elmer decided that they would take up the
task, with Elmer in charge of it. The Chidester s be-
came his family in very deed and soon he was elected
genealogist for the Chidester family organization.
In the years that followed, vacations were spent
in libraries, tramping through cemeteries, visiting
people who carried the Chidester name. During the rest
of the year Elmer pursued the project through letter
writing and accummulated a valuable file of thousands
of letters containing irreplacable data.
In 1962 Thelma was successful in publishing her
mother's work, the WORKMAN FAMILY HISTORY. There
370 HERITAGE
had also been a year in England with both the Andersons
working on the two family lines, gathering a great deal
of interesting information. A summer was spent trav-
eling through Michigan, lower Canada, Ohio, New York and

the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, leaving
Salt Lake City 13 March 1937. She returned from that
assignment 1 Aug 1939. During the next year or two she
served as president of the Richfield First Ward Young
Women's Mutual Improvement Association.
Moving to Salt Lake City, she worked in the Presid-

in Mexico and Arizona, finally returning to Salt Lake

1958, she was divorced from Mr. LeBaron. After that time
she supported her family by working in the hospitals of

Although born in Deweyville, Utah, Ursal's child-
hood was spent in the Curlew Valley of Idaho where his
parents homesteaded the land for thirteen years. His
early schooling - through seventh grade - was obtained
in Holbrook, Idaho.
After the family moved back to Deweyville, giving
up the struggle of the homestead, Ursal graduated from
the eighth grade, then attended Bear River High and
Granite High, where he played football.
In 1944, during the Second World War, Ursal
joined the Army, serving in the 645th Tank Destroyer
Battalion and went to Germany. He was released in 1946.
He had the experience of working in many different
professions but settled on the plumbing trade, achiev-
ing Journeyman rating and eventually became a Master
Plumber. He was the owner and operator of Star Plumb-
ing and Heating, Inc., in Salt Lake City. His two sons
took over the business when Ursal decided to retire,
although he still kept his hand in.
An avid reader, Ursal's main interests are in
history and philosophy. In his youth he memorized many
poems and was always fond of poetry.
His favorite sport — taking his grandchildren water
skiing. Like other Chides ters in Utah, he claims to
be the best fisherman in the state!

My father, Myron Alphonzo Cgidester and his family
moved from the dry farm country of Idaho to Salt Lake
City, Ut. , in 1923 to start a new life. When I was
nine years old, 1928, he died. Two years later when
Mother remarried, we moved to Huntington, Oregon, where
in 1937 I met and married Charles Ronald McCURDY. We
moved through the western states, leaving a contribution
of landmarks through the occupation of reinforcing steel
construction.
Three chosen children (adopted) joined our family
as we moved to Canada to help change the skyline of the
beautiful city of Edmonton, Alberta, and the surround-
ing country. Among other buildings, we worked on the
Internation Airport, City Library, Canadian National
Railway Tower, 1976 Centennial Building, and the
Imperial Oil Project. We had also been party to the con-
struction of the Geneva Steel Mill in Prove, Ut; the
Magnesium Plant in Las Vegas, Nev; Nuclear Plants to
Hanford, Washington, and Arco, Idaho,
Our eldest son presented us with seven grand-
children, some being the age of our young family, who
enjoyed their association.
We are now retired and have come "home" to Utah.

From Pintura to Orderville to see a close friend
graduate from high school resulted in my meeting my fut-
ure husband and eternal mate. Our courtship was differ-
ent then than the ones now. It was more on a group
basis where all the unmarried people met and made ice
cream or candy and played games. The jig-saw puzzle
was just out and very popular. Joe had not been home
from his mission too long and with the mission presi-
dent's words, "If you're not married in six months"
ringing in his ears it didn't take us long to decide to
get married.
We were married in the Salt Lake Temple. We made
the most of our time there and went to April conference,
too, which was a very choice experience for me as it was
my first time to attend.
Our first home was the old tithing office where
produce turned in for tithing was stored. Here, with
the help of my three new brothers and new parents,
the place was made livable .
Here, too, on a snowy winter day, our first child,
a dark-haired girl, was born. She was the first girl for
Grandma and Grandpa Bolander (they having had five boys)
and the first grandchild on both sides.
In our early married life we had a policy of hav-
ing a baby one year and getting a new piece of furniture
the next year. We accummulated more new furniture then
than we have at any time since.
Our second child, a husky boy this time, we were
happy to call Duane Joseph, Duane had a stomach disorder
HERITAGE 4 01
at birth but, with constant care and medication, he
was a happy, healthy baby at nine months.
Having two children in the coldest month of the
year, we were happy to welcome Karen in August. Karen,
with the help of Dr. COVINGTON, made her appearance
in our present home. She has always been an independ-
ent soul, very religious and a welcome addition to our
family.
High noon, Mar. 24, 1942, brought a dainty, curley
haired little girl whom we chose to call Shirleen.
She was just nineteen months younger than Karen and they
were much like twins. I liked to dress them alike.
They spent many happy hours together and always sat
side by side in primary and Sunday school.
In 1944 Uncle Sam called Joe to serve his country.
I was left to care for the four children. It was a
time of worry and hard work, as he hadn't been gone
three weeks before a series of accidents occurred. Broken
bones, cuts, measles, and so on. It is times like this
when you appreciate church, family, friends.
In due time Joe was released and we were called
upon to lay to rest our little Shirleen who was now four
years old. She died in Salt Lake City, after brain surg-
ery for a tumor.
We have had many pleasant experiences church and
family wise. Three times in one season we were to go
to the temple and see two sisters and a brother married.
These are choice memories, enriched each time we go back
to the temple.
We were to lose another baby midway in pregnancy
before our home was blessed with a second son, Ronald
Batty BOLANDER. Dark haired and blue eyed, Ronnie was
a special addition to our family.
Dainty, sweet JoAnn came to live with us. She
was followed by Laurene, vibrant, fun-loving and quite
a tease. Our home would not be complete without
Laurene. We have always loved each child in our family.
Each so different from the rest, has added something
special. We have seven children and ten grandchildren.
Church work has been vital in our life and the
offices and callings varied. To name a few: MIA
superintendent, high counselor; Bishop, Sunday school
board and teacher, genealogy teacher, bishop's coun-
selor and teacher, stake Relief Society board, visit-
ing teacher, Sunday school secretary. High Priest sec-
retary. These with missionary work and trying to live
402 HERITAGE
the cornmandments daily give the true perspective.
We have always stressed education and service.
One son served his country and the other went on a
mission.
In our forty two years of married life we have
had varied experiences — the good and the bad. We have
lived through depression and war. Our lives have been
enriched with our family and friends.

"We lived for about five months in Tuxedo, New
York, then moved to Syosset, Nassau, Long Island, N.Y.
and lived there for about five years. After this we
moved to Uniondale, Nassau County, New York, and lived
there for about twenty one years. It was during this
latter time that we were privileged to see the New York
Stake, LDS Church (which comprised part of New Jersey,
New York City and Long Island) divided into three

Ewald and Regina Rapp were married at Ewald 's
home at 1116 Nassau Dr. Las Vegas, Nev. Ewald had been
baptized into the LDS Church that same afternoon. He
worked as "garde manger** chef at the Sands Hotel and
then went to the Dunes Hotel where he worked for nine
years.
In 1971, while on a vacation trip in Utah, Ewald
was offered a job at Brigham Young University in food
services. We went back to Las Vegas, sold our house
there and moved to our new home in Spanish Fork. Ewald
has won much recognition for his art work using foods.
Our two children are both studying piano and are
in the school orchestra. Both are planning to attend
college at Brigham Young University. Daniel wants to
become a doctor.
Ewald was born in Minsk, Russia, of German parents
who were refugees. He served Germany during the war in
Poland, France and Russia, until he was injured and
lost his right leg. He was released from the service
and became a shoemaker in Braunschweig, Germany. In
1953 he came to Las Vegas, not knowing a word of English.
He worked in a cafe owned by a German and worked his way
up to become one of the top "garde mangers" in the hotel
business in Vegas.
I, Regina, was born in Kanarraville, Utah, and
spent several younger years in Pintura and Toquerville,
Utah. My father went to Nevada, Goodsprings, and worked
in the mines. Graduating from the Las Vegas High
School, I went to Salt Lake for a few years. In 1955,

I went for a two year mission in the Spanish American
Mission in Texas. When I came home I spent a year on
a stake mission in Las Vegas, and was the missionary
who taught the gospel to Ewald. When he was baptized
we were married.

Christmas Letter, 1967
Greetings from our house to yours. It is good that
there is a "year end" and a "year beginning" so as to
break the seemingly endless routine and give time to
reflect on our past. Hopefully, also to plan anew for
the future. 1967 seems from here to be somewhat of a
paradox; ie : it seems such a short time since last
Christmas and yet so many eventful things seem to have
happened and some of these seem so long ago.
Our most happy event was the addition to our family
of Garth on Easter Sunday. He is now 9 months old and
is a regular member — in fact the most regular member of
the family. He is crawling and can manage a smile at
almost anything that happens— except being left alone.
Our girl, Michelle, is 3*5. She is a typical girl,
we suppose, but she is so feminine as compared to the
boys it is quite startling to us. Her most prized
possession is her long hair, which is really only long
to her. Her happiness is a half day nursery school
two days a week. Her mother is very proud of her read-
ing vocabulary which is now something like 40 words,
Stephen, 7*$, is a very husky, active boy. He spends
most leisure hours with Nikki, the pony. He had 4
stitches on the forehead from one fall. He was not de-
terred. He loves school and has developed some very
close friendships. He reads quite well. He can hardly
wait to be a cub scout. He causes great consternation
in the older brothers by his desired close companionship.
Bruce will graduate from Primary and receive the
HERITAGE 413
priesthood this month. He is very conscientious in all
he does. He is in band, trumpet. Didn't quite make
the 7th grade basketball team, has one more requirement
for second class scout and has a morning paper route
and still makes respectable grades in school. He is
very sports minded. His little league team lost the
area championship by one game.
Kim is our individualist. He has respect for others
but little concern for time or regulations if they inter-
fere with what he thinks he should or would like to do.
His first love is nature in any form. He loves scout-
ing and is working on the star rank. He is the only
trombone player in the intermediate band , He has an
afternoon paper route and feels quite independent most
of the time.
Leatha has developed into the major family project.
We are learning so very much how important she is to
us and our happiness, A deteriorating health condition
over a long period finally culminated in the discovery
of heart infection, shortly after the birth of Garth.
The infection was successfully arrested but subsequent
test showed extensive damage to the mitral valve. Con-
sequently, her activity and physical capabilities have
been substantially reduced. We are somewhat saddened
by tiiis and yet so thankful she can be as active as
she is. We feel that it was only through divine help
that the disease was finally diagnosed — Leatha diag-
nosed it herself with the help of her nurses training,
Kimball is still employed by Aerojet. The employment
has dropped from 20,000 in 1964 to about 7,000. How-
ever, his job is still very interesting and busy. He
was scoutmaster for a short while. He also taught Sem-
inary last year. Presently he is the Elder's Quoriim
teacher. He manages to avoid most home duties but plays
hand bail to keep his weight down to a trim one ton,

Growing up in the farm community of Richfield, Ut.,
had its advantages. There were summers of pastoral
pleasures, lots of swimming, hiking to the hills, and
the fruit picking excursions to the farms of uncles
and aunts who needed extra help. The picking was work,
to be sure, but there was the chance to eat all the
fresh fruit one wanted. This was the life of Norma
Chidester during her early childhood. On Sunday even-
ings there was always the additional special treat
of the band concert in the town park.
The first motorized vehicle the family had was a
motorcycle with a side car. Father would hold sister
Ellen as she sat on the gas tank. Mother and the baby
occupied the seat of the sidecar and Norroa nestled
at Mother's feet. The ride could be thrilling, esp-
HERITAGE
421
ecially when there was a stream of water to cross.
The cycle gave vay, eventually, to their first
car, a Chevrolet . What a thrill it was for the
family to take a ride all together in this shiny black
car!
There was the morning of 20 June 1929, that was
memorable, for "My Dad woke us up and asked us if we
wanted to go visit our Grandma. I knew that the last
time he did that, we came home to find another baby
sister, so I remember asking him if we were going to
get another baby. I don't remember what he said, but
I do remember that about a month earlier our neighbor
had told me that my mother had miscarried her first
child. At that time, I went home and asked Mother and
she said yes. I asked her if he was cute, and she said
that he was too little to tell.
". . .Sure enough, in the afternoon Dad came to
get us and told us we had a big, bouncing baby boy.
He was right. He was big — eleven pounds! I could never
figure out why they said he was bouncing, though. He
was a happy baby, and was a typical boy (later) hating
baths , loving to play in the dirt and to eat everything
in sight. When he was only a couple of years old Dad
cut down a big tree up by the canal and Evan took his
little wagon and piled the wood Dad cut in it, and
pulled it through the trail in the snow to the woodpile
behind the house. Dad would pull big loads in the
wheelbarrow and Evan worked hard pulling load after
load that seemed like such an impossible task for such
a little boy. This was the beginning of a life-time
of those two doing things together.
"Dad was a scoutmaster from the time I remember.
A group of boys, including his brother Leland and Lynn,
were in his first troop. They had heard about the
scouting progrcim and inasmuch as the program hadn't come
that far west, those boys wanted Dad to be their leader.
They wrote to New York for a handbook and instructions
and Dad became the first scoutmaster in Richfield, 1913,
in what I believe to be the first troop west of the
Mississippi River. They were real scouts, not only
learning what to do, but really applying it in their
lives. They chopped wood for widows, helped poor people
with groceries, went on hikes to Cottonwood Canyon,
Fish Creek, Fish Lake, Seven Mile, Cove Mountain and
many other places ... In their camps they made beds in
the trees, made bridges over little streams and even
harnessed the power of the streams and had their own
422 HERITAGE
electric lights in camp.
"Dad didn't have any boys of his own for so long
that he made scouts of his girls. My mother had also
been a Campfire girl, hiking and camping with the
girls. But that was before my time. . .
"I dreaded Thanksgiving time for I was usually
sick, so the family couldn't join with the other fami-
lies for the big day. Dad would kill one of our geese
and we would have a big meal at home. My mother would
make something with wax in it that helped pull the
little feathers off, and we Cchildren) would use that
wax a year or two in waxing windows at Halloween. Oh,
how I wish we hadn't used wax and had used soap in-
stead! But kids don't think about the hard cleaning
jobs after such stupid pranks. However, we weren't
as destructful as many other kids. Halloween has
changed now.
"In the 30 's the older boys used to keep the mar-
shall busy all night by taking peoples farm machinery,
wagons, etc., apart and putting it together again on
top of the farmer's shed? or tying their calves, sheep,
goats, etc., on top of a flat topped shed. They also
tipped over outside toilets.
"The only time I ever did anything really rotten,
was one time when I was about 16, the neighbor kids
got together to swipe gates. We went several blocks
from our part of town and the boys removed half of a
man's corral gate and hung it on the light post on one
of the metal things used in climbing the pole. We
girls didn't do it, but were there, so therefore we
were guilty, too.
"The man discovered us and started chasing us.
I've never seen so many directions for kids to scatter.
It was every one for himself. I ran down a driveway
leading to a corral, thinking he would chase someone
else, but he followed me, I climbed the gate and
saw to my astonishment a big black bull at the end of
the corral. . .1 took a chance on the bull standing
still, jumped down, ran across the corral, climbed the
pole fence faster than greased lightening and started
running for the corner. When I reached the corner, for
once in my life I thought fast and jumped in the irriga-
tion ditch by the sidewalk and quickly covered myself
with leaves. When the man turned the corner he stopped
running and I thought he had seen me. He walked past
me about 20 feet, looking in all directions, confused
HERITAGE 423
because there seemed to be no place I could have got
out of sight. "
The man stood there for awhile watching for any
sign. Norma managed to remain quiet in the ditch, her
heart racing in fear, until he finally turned and left.
"I remember my great grandparents, David and
Rebecca Ann Price Chidester; going to their house when
I was young and stepping across the threshold into the
waiting arm of my great grandmother . They went away
for awhile, then returned to Richfield to live with
Grandpa David and Aunt Myrtle. I have many fond recoll-
ections of going there after school and standing at
Grandma's side while she was sitting in a rocking chair.
She would hold me around the waist with her right arm
so tight that I would have to bend slightly, not hav-
ing courage enough to tell her how tired I was getting.
From her I learned about the great Prophet Joseph Smith;
and from her convincing stories I knew he was a pro-
phet! I also knew the Mormon religion was true, al-
though I knew very little about it. I learned about
the pioneers and how my great grandfather once sat on
Joseph Smith's knee; about the crickets coming to
eat the crops in Salt Lake. I learned about a time
when the babies and others were getting ill from the
lack of sweets. One morning they awoke and saw a
white substance on the tree leaves, washed them off
and cooked the water, making a sort of syrup..
"The depression hit — starting in 1929, but it was
a year or so before we really felt the worst of it.
My mother used to help Dad make a living by taking in
washings and ironings. It must be pretty heart-
breaking to wonder what to feed a large family and how
to clothe them. We had a large garden and fruit trees,
chickens and one or two cows. Dad extracted honey from
his bee hives and he had less and less work as he was
an electrician and building and remodeling almost came
to a halt.
"We continued to eat more or less Danish food
such as buttermilk pop (made with buttermilk and sego) ;
red mush (a dessert made from cherries or red currant
juice, etc.; soup and Danish dumplings. Mother made
bread and butter and Dad stored the potatoes, squash,
etc. , in what we called the potato hole, next to our
underground cellar.
"Times were really beginning to get rough, but
in 1933 we had the blackest year for all of us. I was
424 HERITAGE
helping my mother hang clothes when I noticed her
change a bandage on her foot. She had stepped on a
rusty nail about five days before. She wasn't a corn-
plainer so I didn't know too much of what had happened.
I asked her how she did it, so she told me. I finished
hanging out the clothes and she became more ill and
her jaws could only open about half way. One of us
called Dad on the telephone. I believe he was work-
ing that day in the little town of Sigurd. He came
home and none of us know how serious her illness was,
except her. I asked her what was wrong and she said
she thought it was lockjaw. I remember asking her if
it was a bad disease and she said, 'Sometimes they
don't get over it.'
Dad called the doctor, but there was nothing that
could be done. Dr. GLEDHILL, our family doctor, didn't
know for sure what it was, having never seen a case
before. The next day Mother was worse and Dr. McQUARRIE
and Dr. GOTTFREDSON were called in and the three of
them held a consultation outside the house. It was
decided to take her to the LDS Hospital in Salt Lake
City. Our Bishop was there, Vf. L. WARNER, and he
offered to take her in his car. They made a bed in the
back seat of the car and Dad sat on a makeshift seat
on the floor beside her and they left. What a miser-
able, emp ty feeling as they drove away, but after
watching her take 11 convulsions, flapping around on
the bed until we almost had to throw ourselves on her
to hold her down, it was sort of a relief to know that
maybe someplace there was someone with enough medical
knowledge to help her.
"When the car returned a day later, everyone rush-
ed out to meet it and there they were, my mother lying
still and peaceful now and my Dad crying uncontroll-
ably. Mother had passed away just after they had
reached Gunnison, Ut., never reaching Salt Lake and
the promised help."
After the funeral, the family took up the ser-
ious business of living in a world without Mother.
The older girls divided the care of the younger child-
ren between them and began to take over the care of
the house and family. Father taught them how to make
bread and to cook. Aunt Myrtle helped with the sewing,
cleaning and other matters. Grandma Jensen and the
aunts and uncles helped all they could, but no one
could really take the place of the gentle mother they
HERITAGE 425
had lost. Life took on a serious look. No more
weeks at farms for fruit and larks. There was work to
be done. And so they continued for several years until
Father re-married.
After her marriage in the St. George Temple,
Norma lived for a number of years in St, George, Ut,,
with a brief interlude in Santa Monica, California.
Eventually, though, the Leavitts decided to make
California their home.
Raising a fine family has been Norma 's chief
vocation; her avocation is catering, decorating beaut-
iful cakes for weddings and other festive occasions. A
gifted entertainer and story teller, she is a favorite
at both Jensen and Chidester reunions.
She and her sister Barbara took advantage of the
opportunity to visit Denmark to research the records
of their mother's family and to find living relatives
to re-establish family connections.
One of her daughters experienced a period of
blindness. Through her faith and unceasing diligence
Norma saw the day when her lovely child could see again.
There is challenging excitement around Norma.
Faithful and constant in her devotion to her church and
her family, she bears testimony to the goodness of
life and the truthfulness of her church.

I was born into a family that I love very much.
Raised in Sandy, Utah, with four brothers and two sisters
at home, there were also two sisters married and liv-
ing away from home. I also had an older brother liv-
ing out of the state. We were a great family and had
plenty of room on our two and a half acre farm to run
and work! (I didn't do too much of the latter.)
I was always thought of as the bashful one in the
family and I guess I still am in ways. When I was
young I attended Sandy Elementary School; Mount Jordan
Junior High; and one year at Jordan High School, work-
ing at odd jobs until I was nineteen, then I went into
the carpet installation business, I've been in that
same line of work since then and am with the same comp-
any I started out with.
Being the "bashful" one, no one thought I'd get
married, but at the ripe old age of twenty-one, I marr-
ied Carolyn Mumm. She was born and raised in South
Dakota and moved to Utah in 1959 when her father was
transferred there. It was quite a change to come here
to the busy life compared to the quiet life in Dakota.
We lived in a house in Salt Lake that I had
bought from my father while he was in the Real Estate
business. Our first baby--which turned out to be ident-
ical twin sons — were born there.
After the birth of our third son we moved to
Sandy, Utah, where Bradley Dean was born. When he was
about a year and a half old we found that he had
Wernig -Hoffman disease, known as a type of muscular
atrophy. In 19 76 he is a very bright child, confined to
a wheel chair. He attends a school for the multiply-
handicapped children in Midvale, Ut, , where he is in a
group of children of the first through fourth grade
levels and is doing exceptionally well.
Stan and Dan are in junior high now and Rod is
in the fourth grade. They are all very active and
involved in a lot of things.
My work and my family really keep me busy at this
time in my life. The work gets to be a headache at
times, but I am really enjoying my family.

Richard grew to manhood on hLs father's farm in Ameri-
can Fork, CHighland, the suburb) and loved farming.
He played football, basketball and wrestled his way
through high school, then attended Utah State University
at Logan, Ut. , for a time, then decided to go to Tech-
nical College at Provo. After a service of six months
in the Active Reserves for his country, he entered the
Technical School and studied refrigeration,
Susan lived in Salt Lake Valley until she was
thirteen years of age when her parents decided they
wanted their children to experience the joys of farm
life and moved them to American Fork. Susan and Rich-
ard met at church, Highland Ward, and began dating,
They corresponded while he was away in basic training,
then, after his return, they borrowed his Dad's car
in March, 1968, Chis own had been wrecked earlier) and
eloped to Las Vegas ,
After his marriage, Richard began working for
Hercules, in Salt Lake City, and the couple lived for a
time in South Jordan to be near his work, but soon re-
turned to American Fork,
The year 1976 brought a big change to the family.
An idea developed and grew into the decision to make a
difficult move. Plans and a trip in February helped to
set a time and place. A beautiful farm was bought by
Susan's parents for Richard to run and build a home on.
One hundred forty five acres of pasture, timber and crop
land, complete with NO irrigation.
May arrived along with a rented truck and their own

truck, and the move was made to Missouri. Quite a
different place than Utah, but they are excited and love
it. The crops are in along with a five acre garden and
three cows with their calves. They hope to see many of
their friends and family from out west. They are eight
miles directly east of Queen City on route E, which is
in the northeast corner of Missouri — right between Adam-
ondi-Ahmen and Nauvoo, 111.

Her parents had separated before Clyta Butterfield
Chidester was born, so she never knew her father. Just
before she was two years of age her mother married James
Orvill Chidester who became in very fact, her father.
Although she always went by the name of Chidester, it
was not until after her high school days that she re-
quested that her name be legally changed. Accordingly,
she was adopted by James Orvill Chidester and became his
own daughter.
Clyta was fortunate, being a member of the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, to live in a
ward in Price, Utah, where there was a goodly group of
her peers who were interested in doing the same things.
They attended dances and parties and were closely knit.
It was to a member of this group that she was married.
Alfred Reed Richens , home on leave from the Navy,
proposed and married Clyta, taking her back to Rhode
Island with him when he returned to the service. There
followed several years of commuting for Clyta, back to
Price to stay with her family while Alfred was out on
4^^ HERITAGE
six month cruises, returning to Boston or Rhode Island
when he had shore duty. Part of this time she was
accompanied by her baby daughter.
The second child of the family was born as the
young couple was returning from the east for the last
time. As they stopped in Salt Lake, the little girl
was born prematurely and died*.
Price was home to both the Richens and they did
not desire to live anywhere else. They lost another
premature daughter, then adopted two sons, steady,
handsome lads in whom they put great trust and faith.
Alfred Richens worked for the state road commi-
ssion and in 1963 was called to be Bishop of the Price
Third Ward, which position he held until 1968. He
served on the stake MIA and Primary boards, and in 1971
went into the high council.
Clyta has presided over both the Primary and
Relief Society organizations.

One thing I am thankful for in my life is that
Mother took us to Church (Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints). Daddy wouldn't go so it was hard
for her but she went faithfully and taught us the gospel
as we grew up.
When I met Arvin E. Rudd I felt we had known each
other before and we enjoyed each other's company. It
just seemed as though we were meant for each other.
The Lord has blessed us with five special spirits. We
have enjoyed our children very much.
Tom, the eldest, is a very serious boy. Having
strong leadership ability, he has been an influence
for good on his companions. Always active in his relig-

and Sarah Beth TRINNAMAN; b 8 Feb 1944, Lehi , Ut;
md 6 Jan 1962, in Elko, Nev. , to Arthur Albert LAKE
who was b 3 Nov 1940, Helper, Ut; s of Clyde Elwood
LAKE and Alma Ethyl STARBUCK; and had ch:
13-792 Jeffrey Arthur LAKE b 12 Sept 1962, Salt Lake City, U
13-793 Gregory Orvill LAKE b 1 Mar 1964, Salt Lake City, Ut
13-794 Terry Elizabeth LAKE b 14 Dec 1965, Murray, Ut.
13-795 Sarah Ethel LAKE b 11 Dec 1972, Murray, Ut,
13-796 Kattie Ann LAKE b 29 Dec 1975, San Diego, Cal.
Born in Lehi, Ut. , I was named for my great aunt,
Elizabeth Ann GOUGH. My folks moved to Price, Ut. , when
I was a year old. There we lived close to my father's
parents and his grandmother. My father's grandmother
was my favorite grandparent. We called her Grandma
Burgess. She had out-lived four husbands but had all
her children.
I attended school and the various church organiz-
ations in Price. I was a member of the 4H clubs and
learned how to cook, bake, sew and do wood work. I
also attended their campouts and that is where I met
my future husband, Arthur Albert Lake. At the time I
met him I was only twelve and he threw me in the creek,
so I had no particular designs on him at that time.
Art and I started dating seriously when I was
sixteen and he was nineteen. He was in the Navy when
we started corresponding and when he proposed marriage
to me.
At the age of sixteen I went to stay with a friend
of the family for the summer in Glenwood Springs, Colo.
I got a job there as a maid at Hot Springs Lodge. At
the end of that summer Art came home on leave and came
to Colorado to take me to meet his relatives that lived
HERITAGE 467
in Salida, Colo. (His mother and brother lived in Helper
Utah, and his father was dead.)
The next summer I stayed with a cousin in Van
Nuys, Cal. I got a job as a nurses aid in a Jewish
Rest Home. Art, who was then stationed in San Diego,
came to visit me on week ends.
My parents moved from Price to Salt Lake City so
I was there when Art was discharged from the Navy, in
1961. He obtained employment at Graver Tank Manufactur-
ing where my father was also working. It wasn't long
until we eloped to Elko, Nev. , and were married. My
sister Clyta gave us a reception in her home in Price
and my Aunt Rose held another one for us in Midvale, Ut.
We bought a small trailer and moved in.
When our son Greg was born, he had a hernia and
a hydroseal that strangulated when he was three months
old and he had to have an emergency operation.
By the time we had three children. Art was working
at Sears in Salt Lake. We asked for a transfer to the
Price store. We got the transfer but there was also a
cut in pay. We were barely making ends meet so Art
checked into going back into the Week End Reserves. He
was offered a permanent job back in Salt Lake with more
pay and medical benefits. By 1966, Art was in the Navy
again, in the reserve branch. We moved to Granger, Ut.,
had a big trailer, and while there I attended evening
school and obtained my high school diploma.
Transferred to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, we found a
home on a farm — a two story frame house that was very
hard to keep warm in the winter, but we loved living
on the farm with all the animals. Our landlord let us
have all the milk we wanted and sold us our meat. It
was here that we began being really active in the Church.
I taught Primary and was first cousellor. Art helped
with the Scouts because his boys were in the program..
Art went back into the regular Navy so he could
make better rank. He was then transferred to Viet Nam
and was to receive his training in San Diego, Cal. The
kids and I moved to Murray, Ut. , going there early enough
to start school without having- to be transferred med-
term. Art was with us in December, enroute to San
Diego. He was in San Diego about a month when the peace
treaty was signed and he was stationed in San Diego
without having to go to Viet Nam at all.
In San Diego the children and I continued our
church activity. I served as Sunday School and Primary
46 8 HERITAGE
teacher and as Relief Society secretary.
Art had promised, when we got married, that he
would join the church, but with me being inactive at
that time I wasn't a very good example. But with my
increased activity he began to be interested. He was
also influenced by our spiritual child, Sarah. One
day when she was only a year old she had a church maga-
zine and was looking at the pictures and pointed to a
picture of Jesus and the Apostles. She pointed right
at Jesus and said, "Jesus." She had never said an
understandable word before and no one had taught her.
A little later we decided we'd better try to have Fam-
ily Home Evenings. It was our first try and we weren't
very well organized. Sarah wouldn't settle down. She
kept insisting on having this book that was in the midd-
le of a stack of books. When we got it out it was the
Family Home Evening Manual. Sarah sat by Art and was
content to sit there and look at a picture of Jesus.
So, in March of 1976, Art joined a group called
"Smoke Enders" to help him quit smoking. On June 19,
1976, he was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Our three older children show promise of artistic
ability and are all above average intelligence. Terry
has a flair for writing stories.
Jeff, our oldest son, was telling us one day about
something he remembered. "I was looking through a weird
glass. People were getting up and walking around and I
was trapped in this strange glass." We are convinced
this memory was of the day he was born. He was put in
a plastic isolet and wheeled out in the hall where there
were people getting up and walking around.

14-22 Bret Laird ANDERSON b 11 Nov 1958, Oxnard, Cal;
inventive genius and car fancier of the family.
The Anderson family was rather itinerant when
Elmer was a boy, so he attended elementary schools in a
number of towns and cities, but finished his high
school in Burbank, California, where he excelled in
academic studies as well as on the football field. Winn-
ing a football scholarship to Occidental College in
Eagle Rock, he attended school and played football
there for two years until 1947.
Always an active member of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints, he accepted a call to
serve in the Swedish mission, the Anderson homeland,
where he was diligent in promulgating the gospel from
Sept 1947 until Oct. 1949.
Upon his return home, he worked for a dental
surgeon for a year and gained a perspective in the med-
ical field. A year of college at University of Utah and
a final year at Los Angeles City College, prepared him
for medical school and he entered the College of Osteo-
pathic Physicians and Surgeons in 1952, graduating in
June, 1956, having earned the Dean's Award for scholar-
ship.
After a year's internship at the Los Angeles County
Hospital he established a general practice in Ventura,
Cal. In August of 1958 he was elected to the Ventura
County Heart Association and soon was asked to be the
Assistant Chief of Staff of the new Osteopathic Hospital
in Oxnard, California.
When the state voted to accept osteopaths into the
medical association, Elmer returned to school and was
awarded his state MD certificate.
His family was growing apace and the first trauma
of beginning medical practice was over. He decided to
specialize. Always looking for unending challenges, he
chose the neurological field and in Jan. 1964, entered
Martinez Veteran's Hospital as a resident, making his
home in Walnut Creek, Cal.
From Martinez, where he later served as instructor
in neurology for some time as well as a practicing
physician, Elmer went to Fort Miley where he became, in
494 HERITAGE
due time, assistant Chief of Staff. His home, over-
looking Walnut Creek, is a horticulturist's dream
come true .
Through the lean years of schooling and beginning
practice, his wife, Joan, supported him whole-heart-
edly and was ever a faithful and loving companion. To-
gether they have instilled in their four sons a love of
learning and hav e developed their mentalities and
attitudes to be ever questing for new horizons.

In his youth, John was an active member of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, holding
many positions of responsibility.
World War II was an unsettling force to young
men of the restless, questing nature, for enlistment
officers of the military services made visits to the
schools to encourage young men to join the action. Too
young for military service, John elected, in 1946, to
join the Merchant Marine, sailing in Aug. of that year
on his first ship, the tanker J. H. McGaregill, owned
by Standard Oil Co. He travelled coastwise and made
one trip to Honolulu. In March, 1947, he left the
tanker to ship on the SS Marine Leopard, of the Ameri-
can President Lines. Leaving from San Francisco, he
visited Japan; China, where he saw the great wall;
thence to India where he saw the hanging gardens; to
Alexandria, Egypt, through the Suez canal; to Italy;
then to New York, where he debarked and arrived in
Salt Lake City in time to celebrate the Mormon Centenn-
ial there, July 24, 1947.
Returning to Burbank, he was apprenticed 16 Sept
1947, to learn the plastering trade with a starting
salary of $10.00 per day.
The draft caught up with him in 1950 and he served
in the occupational forces in Germany until 19 52. Re-
turning again to Burbank, he went into the pool plast-
ering business, which he operated successfully for a
niamber of years.
After his divorce John re turned to school and
graduated 19 June 19 59 from Los Angeles City College
with Associate of Arts degree in Electronics. Eventually
he left the plastering business and became a computer
programmer and analyst. Always a mathematicl genius.

Keith Eric Anderson, known more familiarly as Eric,
graduated from Burbank High School where he played foot-
ball on their league championship team. While there he
served a semester as president of Boy's League. The
following year he attended Brigham Young University in
Provo, Utah, then went to England with his parents who
were there on a work mission for the government.
Returning to Burbank, California, he joined his/

brother John in the plastering business, attending
school part time. After his marriage he worked for
a time for Lindy Pen Company, leaving there to become
credit manager for the Union Bank.
Eventually, he was sent to the San Francisco
area when the bank began an expansion program and
there he assisted in the training and establishment
of the bank practices in that area.
During the time he was working with the bank,
he bought a home which he completely rebuilt — doing
the work and planning himself, with the occasional
aid of family and friends. When the bank decided to
re-trench somewhat, Eric decided to go into business
for himself, bought a truck and supplies and estab-
lished a plumbing service. Because of his integrity
in business and his demand for perfection in all that
he did, his business grew rapidly.
Marilyn is an efficient secretary and has
worked many of the years of their marriage, helping
to keep the family budget afloat in times of stress,
contributing encouragement and understanding in all
the family enterprises.

I was born in Ozumba, Mexico, a suburb of Mexico
City. I was the first child of the family and was
delivered by a native midwife. My father delivered the
rest of us except for Jon.
My parents traveled a great deal the first few
years of my life and wherever we went people would hold
up two fingers and say, "V for Victory," because I had
a large red "V" mark in the middle of my forehead. When
I was about four we moved to a ranch high in the mount-
ains of Northern Mexico where we produced nearly all of
what we used.
At age seven I moved to Salt Lake City and start-
ed school. Two years later we moved to Provo and while
we lived there I was baptized into the LDS Church. When
I was twelve, we moved to Lake Shore, Utah, where my
mother still resides.
I graduated from Spanish Fork High School and
Seminary in 1963, and in 1967 I graduated "cum laude"
from Brigham Young University with a major in English
literature and a minor in Spanish. After that I worked
for three and a half years as a personnel specialist at
the LDS Hospital.
I married Stephen Lynn Gibson in the Salt Lake
Temple. Steve was born in Ogden, Utah, but has lived
in Salt Lake since he was about four. He graduated from
East High School in 1960 and attended the University of
502
^^^ HERITAGE
Utah for two years, studying engineering. He then spent
two years in the U.S» Army and several years in the Utah
National Guard. He presently is employed at Kenworth
Sales Co., and is a spray painter by trade. He has
served in the Sunday School, athletic department, Eld-
er's Quorum presidency and is now Deacon's Quorum advis-
or and scoutmaster. I have served in the Sunday School
and Young Women's program and am now first counsellor
in the Primary. We are buying a home in Murray, Utah,
and plan to stay here permanently,

Having been born and growing up in the time of the
Great Depression, Myron Chidester was taught the value
of hard work at an early age and never forgot the val-
uable lesson. A gifted boy, he was always entertaining
the family either with his impersonations, his music,
or his art. He attended Riverside and Franklin element-
ary schools, Jordan Junior and West High School.
While in High School he joined the navy, 13 Dec
1947, and was assigned to the 103rd Battalion (called
Sea Bees,) He served for eighteen months on the island
of Guam, three months in Korea, where he saw active
duty at the landing of Inchon and Wonson. He complet-
HERITAGE ^°^
ed his overseas duty with a tour of Japan.
Returning to the United States, he was stationed
at San Diego, California. On one of his leaves he went
to Salt Lake City and married his childhood sweetheart,
Helen Jean Gerber. Their first home was in San Diego,
until 10 Dec 19 51, when he was honorably discharged.
Although Myron always enjoyed building and car-
pentry, he joined his father and brother in the plumb-
ing business. Eventually he and his brother took over
the business from their father — Star Plumbing and Heat-
ing, Inc.
Although plximbing was his vocation, building and
creating were his avocation and hobby. He added on
extensively to his home in Salt Lake and built an entire
new one in Heber City, Utah. Then, he sold his share
of the plumbing business and embarked upon a new under-
taking— 'the business of importing. Myron and Jeanne
enjoy traveling with their new business.

My family moved to California and lived there
until I was four years old, then moved back to Salt Lake
City, where I grew up. I graduated from West High
School and went to the University of Utah.
I have played church ball; worked in the Mutual
Improvement Association and priesthood organizations and
teach 15 and 16 year olds in Sunday School. I also coach
Little League football.
I have had several jobs, but for the last eighteen
years have worked for the State of Utah in the Data
Processing Center as production manager in charge of the
computers.
My wife, RaNae, graduated from West High School
where she was senior class secretary. After graduation
she worked for a year as a secretary.
She is secretary in the Mutual Improvement Asso-
ciation; sings with a group called "Allegro" and is on
the board of National Honors Cotillion Girls. She is
attending the University of Utah to finish her education,
Jill and Holly are officers in their MIA classes
and are very active in school. They play ball, piano
and have had some dance lessons.
As a family we like to go on vacations, ski in the
winter, water ski in the suiraner and go to football and
basketball games at Brigham Young University.

HERITAGE 521
It is altogether fitting that the story of the
Chidester-Chichester Heritage should end with the
humble testimony of Evelyn Batty Foster. Of her life
and family she says:
"Keith D. Foster grew up on a farm west of Cedar
City, Utah; attended schools in Cedar City, ibcluding
the Branch Agricultural College.
"Evelyn was raised on a small farm in Pintura, Utah;
attended schools in Toquerville, Hurricane and Branch
Agricultural College.
"We were married in the St. George Temple and are
the parents of seven children, five of whom are still
living (1977). The deaths of the twins, our first
born, was a tragedy to us. .These babies were wanted
very much and it was a great shock to us as parents
when Heavenly Father called them home so soon after
birth. We were so grieved that the only thing that
gave comfort to our souls was to pray — and pray we did!
Heavenly Father heard and answered our prayers and
Keith was privileged to see these twin babies happy
and healthy and well taken care of. This was such a
comfort to our souls that the burden placed upon us at
this time was easier to bear.
"We have always been so proud of our wonderful family.
Each one has tried to live the commandments of our
Heavenly Father as they were taught to do.
"All of our lives has been spent in rearing our
family and working in the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints. Some of the positions held by Keith
have been: Elder's president; Seventies President; High
Priest Leader, Statistical Ward Clerk and Stake Mission-
ary.
"Evelyn has held the following positions: Relief
Society President; Education Counselor; Work Counselor;
MIA teacher; Junior Sunday School coordinator; Primary
teacher and Spiritual Living teacher in Relief Society.
"Keith has worked all his life in the Auto Parts
Trade. During the time that our son was on his mission
to Samoa, I worked in the Art, Needlework Dept. of ZCMI.
"Our two greatest blessings are our good family and
our Church. We testify to you that this is the only
true Church on the face of the earth today. We have
proved in our lives that if we live the commandments of
our Heavenly Father, he will bless us and help us in
every way that is for our best good. We bear this
testimony to our family and to future generations."
