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

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. 

The  following  is  taken  from  Huntington  Town  Records 
(Suffolk  Co.,  N.Y.)  p  182:

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

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.

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:

2-2      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

maakerell."     (Putnam's  Montly  Hist.   Mag.    1897,   Salem,   Mass.) 

William's   wife  was   Mary   CORWITHY,    dau   of    David   CORWITHY.

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

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-

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

10  SECOND  GENERATION 

2-1   JAMES  CHICHESTER,  s  of  James"'-"-'-  and  Mary   of  Taunton, 
Mass.,   bp  9  Mar  1652,  Salem,  Mass;   md  before  1654  to 
Eunice  PORTER,  dau  of  Jonathan  PORTER  and  his  wife 
Eunice.   Their  known  children  were: 

*3-l  James  CHICHESTER  bp  in  Huntington,  Suffolk,  N.Y.,

*3-2   David  CHICHESTER  md  Alice  or  Ales 
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.

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.

4-1  Abraham  CHICHESTER,  a  tailor,   was  a  member  of  the  Hunting-

to  Henry  Lloyd  and  in  1739  divided  land  with  Richard 
DENTON.   (Oyster  Bay  Records  III  p  681.)   in  1749  he  was 
witness  to  a  land  transaction  between  his  brother  Ephraim 
and  Richard  DENTON  Jr.   He  was  termed  "son"  by  James  in  a 
deed  in  1708  in  Huntington.   In  t  he  account  books  of  Henry 
LLOYD,  published  in  The  Journal  of  Long  Island  History,  Vol 
II,  Abraham's  first  purchases  were  settled  by  his  father, 
James.   After  May,  1734,  Abraham  and  his  wife  purchased 
materials  and  were  paid  for  their  services.   The  name  of 
his  wife  wasn't  given.   The  account  begins  in  1728  and 
runs  through  1735.   In  1738  Abraham  was  paying  board  and 
pasturage  for  a  horse  and  oxen.   In  1739,  April  and  July, 
his  wife  was  again  being  paid  for  services  and  it  is  indi-

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

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

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

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,

James  ~  )  and  Alice;   b  in  Huntington,  Suffolk,  N.Y; 
md  17  Dec  1719,  in  Simsbury,  Hartford,  Conn.,  to  Mahabel 
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.

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

land      in        Charlotte   County,      adjoining   the   north  bounds   of 
the   township  of   Hyde.         It  may  have   been      that  his   removal

6-17      John  CHICHESTER     d   11   Sept   1793,    in  Huntington,      unm. 

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-

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.

Rough   times   hit   the   family   in   1771    for  Andrew  was    impris-

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.

6-46     Mary  CHIDESTER,    said  by  Elisha  HIGGINS   in  his  deposition 
of   30  Aug   1768,    to  have  been  two  years   of   age   at  her 
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

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

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.

and  vital  recs  of  Cornwall,  Conn;   Origins  of  Williamstown, 
by  A.  L.  Perry;   refs  as  listed.) 

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- 
cut Herald"  of  2  8  Oct   182  3;   in  the  "Hartford  Times"  of 
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.

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 
received  $240.00   back  pay  and  $40.00  for  the  current 
year. 

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.

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 
Co.   B  1  14   p  376) 

April  6,  1773   "Benjamin  CHIDESTER,  son  of  Daniel 
CHIDESTER  of  Mallbury  Precinct,  Deed. a  minor  of  Danbury 
being  of  age  for  the  choice  of  a  guardian  &  having 
made  choice  of  David  CHIDESTER  to  be  his  guardian." 
court  approved  and  David  posted  a  bond  of  one  hundred 
pounds.   (Probate  Recs.,   Hartford,  Conn.) 

July  19,  1777   "I  David  CHIDESTER  of  Danbury,  Fair- 
field Conn."   sold  land  to  Ezra  STARR.  (Danbury  Reg.

Doct.  CHITESTER,  baptized." 

Sept  2,    1781,  "Hannah,  daughter  of  Doct.  CHITESTER

for  David  CHIDESTER  in  Danbury. 

Oct  12  1782,  for  thirty  nine  pounds,  bought  a  lot 
with  house  from  Samuel  HIGGINS.   The  same  day,  "I 
David  CHICHESTER  in  Fairfield  Co.,  State  of  Connect- 
icut"  sold  other   property  in  Norwalk  to  Ebenezer 
GILBERT.   "Furthermore,  I   the  said  David  CHIDESTER  do.,

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

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        ■

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- 
ed by  his  crew  members,  neighbors  and  friends.

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. 

Abijah  md  (2)   28  Mar  1842,  in  Martin,  Michigan,

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. 

George  DARROW  was  b  29  Nov  1777,  Saratoga,  Saratoga  Co.,

HERITAGE  71 

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 
Total  $57.00 

His  assets  at  time  of  death  did  not  exceed  ten  dollars, 
one  bureau  and  six  teaspoons.   Cause  of  death,  old  age.

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,

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- 
perty    and  establishing  himself     as  a  citizen  of  value. 
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."

Ira   CHICHESTER  was   only   12   years   of   age  when   the 
family  moved   to  Allegan   Co.,    Michigan,    but  he  was    soon 
to   let   the  weight  of   his   presence   be   felt.      In   the 
1850    census   he  was    listed   as   a   carpenter.       In    1860, 
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 
1859   he  was   on   a   committee   to  build   a      jail.      In   1867, 
he  was   on   the   committee   to  build   the   county  Poor  House. 
From   1867    to   1874    he  was   county   treasurer   and   in    1875 
he  was   share  holder   in      the  Allegan  Literary  and  Library 
Association.      Five   years    later   he  was   trustee   of   the 
First  Presbyterian  Church;      assessor  of   the   school 
board   for  Allegan  Village;      vice  president  of   Farmer's

No   reason   has   been  given   for   the   divorce   of   David 
and  Nancy.       It  may  have   been   that   the   deaths   of    the 
two  older   children   at   such   early   ages    frightened  Nancy 
and   she   decided   to   leave   the   itinerant    life   of   a  min- 
ister's wife   and   devote   herself   to   raising   her   sur- 
viving  son.      She   never   re-married.      Living   near   her 
parents    she   reared   her   son   to  manhood.

Hattie  Florence   CHIDESTER  graduated  from  Syracuse 
University   as   a  B.    S.    in   1875   and  M.S.    1879.      She  was 
a  member  and  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Alpha  Phi     frat- 
ernity at  the  school,      the  first  meetings  of  which  were

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

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

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.

In   his   early   life   John  Chidester   Loveland's   parents 
moved   to   Hoosic   Falls   where   he  was   apprenticed   to   Seth 
PARSONS      to   learn   the  machinist's   trade.      His   specialty 
was   the  manufacture   of    shear   blades    for   cloth  dressing 
machines.      He  moved   to   Springfield,    Vt.,    in    1851   and 
remained   there   the   rest   of   his    life.      Although   still 
living    in   Springfield  when   his    son,    William  H.,    was

In   1859,    John   C.    LOVELAND   joined   the  Congregational

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."

Watertown,  N.Y.   He  also  engaged  in  the  shoe  and  boot 
business  in  Watertown,  becoming  very   successful  in 
both  ventures,  until  some  financial  reverses  took 
his  assets.   He  then  moved  to  Syracuse,  N.Y. ,  and 
entered  the  Syracuse  Medical  College,  graduating  with 
honors  in  the  class  of  1878.   He  had  begun  practicing 
his  new  profession  and  was  doing  well  enough  to  warr- 
ant establishing  a  larger  office  in  the  city  center 
when  he  died.   He  was  taken  back  to  Watertown  for

Through  her  mother  Nellie  was  a  descendant  of  Col. 
Nathaniel  WOODRUFF  of      the   Continental  Army,    Revolution- 
ary War,    and  had  relatives  in  every  war  fought  b  y  Amer- 
icans.     Her  father  was   in  the  Civil  War  and   she  rolled 
bandages  and  participated   in  many  ways   in  World  War   I. 

A  milliner  by  trade,   Nellie  was  a  gifted  lady  with 
needle   and  also  with  brush  and  canvas.      She  was   a  mem- 
ber of  t  he  Christian  Science  church. 

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

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- 
ecca,   a  great  problem  developed.      Rebecca  had   a  half

Pickens   Co.,    Miss;      d   29   May   1912,    Cowley,    Big   Horn,

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

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

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-

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.

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-

Joshua  Parker  CHIDESTER  was   only   eight  years   of   age 
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.

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

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-

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

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

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.

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.

home   in  Deweyville  with  her  parents.      After  the  death 
of  her  father,    she   and  her  mother  moved  to   Salt  Lake 
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- 
ives,   giving   shampoos,   permanents,   waves   and  doing 
whatever  else  she  could  to     bring  comfort  and  peace  to 
those  she  visited.

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.

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

Before  he  was  released  from  his  mission,  Samuel 
was  called  to  serve  in  the  Washington  Ward  bishop-

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.

HERITAGE  183 

11-158  Joseph  Willard  HARMON  b  14  Oct  1903,  Huntington, 
Ut;   md  Chloe  Verna  WHETSTONE 

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-

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

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.

Calmer  BURGESS   and  Mary   Louise  HEATH. 

Esther   and   Raymond   spent   their   early   years    in   Price, 
Ut.      About   1904   they  moved   to    Idaho  where   Raymond 
helped  build  a   canal   across   to   Rupert,    Idaho.      They 
returned  to   Price  briefly,   moving   from  there   to  Alton- 
ah where   they   took  up   a  homestead   farm.      In   1919    Ray- 
mond  and   the      two   oldest  children  died  with   the    "flu". 

Esther  was   a  wonderful  woman,    devoting  her   life   to 
serving  other  people.      She  was   especially  good   at 
caring   for   the   sick   and  was  willing   to  help   anyone 
she   could   in   any  way.

roe  Cranson   IDE   and   Sarah  Ann   THORNTON.      At   the   time   of 
his  marriage,    Joseph     gave   his   birthplace   as  Altonah, 
Ut    (se  Millard  Co.,   md   rec  Bk  C   p   39.)      However,    the 
family  had  not  yet  moved   to   that   area.      Being   so  young 
when   the  move  was  made,    he   probably  did  not  know  the 
difference.        The   record  book   also  gives   his  wife's 
name   as   Sarah  Ann. 

After  his  marriage,    Joseph  became   a   farmer  near 
Bluebell,    Ut.,    but   soon  moved   to   Price,    Ut. ,    where 
he   hauled   coal.      He  was   always   kind   and  considerate 
of   his  wife   and   children.    He  wasreligious   and  well 
educated;    he   enjoyed  a  good   joke   and   liked   to   dance.

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 
among  men,  trained  in  adversity,  always  self- 
reliant.

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.

Ut. ,  in  the  summer,  but  returned  to  her  home  in  St. 
George  for  winter. 

John  md  (2)  6  Oct  1920,  Laura  ANDERSON  who  had 
been  born  and  raised  at  Anderson's  Ranch  located 
at  the  junction  of  the  highway  south  and  Zion's 
Park  highway.   It  was  a  lovely  place  and  a  recrea- 
tional spot  for  many  years.   Her  parents  were  well 
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 


HERITAGE  211 

kindness,    unselfishness   and   gen-ine  worth.      Although 
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.

"I   have   been    so   happy   in  my   little   home.      My   home

"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  . 


216  HERITAGE 

Minnie  bought   a  car,    learned   to  drive   it   and 
enjoyed   traveling   in   it.      She  was   active   in  church; 
taught   Sunday  School   and  Mutual   classes   during   her 
working   years.      After   retirement   she   taught   in 
Relief   Society  and  also   did  tutoring.

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

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.

HERITAGE  219 

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.

Dr.    "Gus"    CHIDESTER  graduated   from  Syracuse  Med-

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.

Edythe  became  an  efficient  secretary  and  eventually

placing   the  aged  in  rest  homes  and  tending  to  their

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.

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

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

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

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  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

with  no   need   to  moan.

David  LeRoy  CHIDESTER  md  (2)  4  Aug  1937,  Clarissa 
Josephine  LEAVITT  who  was  b  19  June  1889,  Gunlock,  Ut; 
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

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.

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,

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

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.

missions.  Gene  going  t  o  the  Northwestern  States  and 
James   to  the  Great  Lakes  Mission. 

When  her  mother's  health  failed,  Reta  and  her 
family  moved  into  the  family  home,  and,  at  great 
sacrifice  to  themselves,  tenderly  cared  for  a  beloved 
and  gracious  Cornelia  Terry  Chidester.

An  outdoorsman  at  heart,   James  Reed,   known  most 
familiarly  as  Reed,   excelled  in  football  during  his 
high  school  years,  receiving  an  all  state  award.  After 
a  six  months  tour  of  duty  with  the  active  reserves  he 
returned  home  and  entered  Brigham  Young  University  to 
study  art  .   Not  liking  the  classes  there,  he  trans- 
ferred to  Utah  Technical  College  where  he  trained  to 
be  a  machinist.   He  obtained  employment  with  the  United 
States  Steel,  in  Geneva,   Ut. ,  and  established  his 
home  in  American  Fork  where  he  continues  his  interest 
in  art.

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-

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.

Beach,  Cal. 

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.

Reed  RI CHENS.   After  the  marriage  of  her  mother  to 

Mr.  Chidester,   Clyta  assumed  the  name  of  Chidester 

and  when  she  was  in  high  school  she  was  legally 

adopted  by  him. 
Ch  of  James  Orvill  Chidester  and  Sarah  Trinnaman:

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

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.

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.

John  Lindon  Chidester  attended  schools  in  Price 
and  Green  River,  Ut.,  graduating  from  Green  River  High 
School  in  1943.   He  attended  Carbon  College  in  Price  for 
a  time,  then  went  into  the  U.S.  Army  where  he  served 
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 
Temple,  he  took  his  bride  to  live  in  Denver,  Colo., 
where  he  worked  for  the  government  in  secret  experi-

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.

My  father  came  to  Raymond,   Alberta,  Canada,  from 
Provo,  Utah,  with  the  Willie  BULLOCK  emmigrant  train  in 
1902  and  had  nearly  completed  a  home  to  live  in  when 
Mother  arrived  with  five  children,  Mar  3,  1903. 

I  finished  public  school  and  took  three  winters 
of  high  school,  a  mid-winter  course.   Vocation  was  farm- 
er and  rancher.   I  was  a  successful  ranch  man  and  a 
fair  broncho  rider  after  many  years  of  hard  knocks. 

Sept  28,  1918,  I  enrolled  with  the  Royal  North- 
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.

Grand  Forks,  B.C;   also  by  our  Master  Mechanic,  Mt. 
BAR9R    of  Nelson,  as  a  first  class  fireman.   Places 
of  residence  during  this  service  were:   Provo,  Ut; 
Raymond,  Twin  River,  Mountain  View,  Cardston,  McLeod 
and  Calgary,  all  in  Alberta,  Canada.   We  moved  to

Barton   C.    POULSON   as   Presiding   Elder.      There  were 
twenty      three  members,    ten   of  which  were   Carters.

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--

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

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-

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-

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

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.

"When  my  mother  died  we  moved   to  Wendell,    Idaho. 
Our   family  began   to   split  up  and   I    lived   in  various 
towns    in   Idaho  with  various   relatives.      About   1941,   my 
father  married  Miss  Anna  OSMASSON,    a   school   teacher, 

and   they  moved   to   Seattle,    Washington,    about   1942.      At 
the   time   I  was    living   in  Garden  Valley,    Idaho,    with 
Mr.    &   Mrs.    John   GLENNON.      We    (my  brother   Delorne   and   I) 
went   to  Seattle   to   live  with  my   father   and   step-mother. 
"I    finished  high   school      in   Seattle      and  went   in- 
to  the   army   in   194  5.      While    in   the   army,    stationed   in 
Fort   Lee,    Virginia,    I  met  Miss   Louise  MATTHEWS.      We 
were  married.      After   serving   six  years   in  the   army,    I 
was   discharged   and  returned   to   LaCrosse,    Virginia,    to 
live.      We   have  been   living   in   the   community   since   1951."

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.

A  charitable  and  generous  man,   no  one  ever  left  his 
home  hungry  and  needy.   He  took  in  a  number  of  boys  and

was  always  so  good  to  his  parents,  brothers  and  sister.

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

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 
Connecticut  to  gather  early  records  of  the  family,  then 
home  to  record  and  organize  the  infointnation. 

After  his  retirement  from  the  National  Aeronautics 
and  Space  Agency,   Elmer  has  spent  the  majority  of  his 
time  in  researching  the  Chidester  family  and  has  accumm- 
ulated  vast  stores  of  records.   Thelma  takes  care  of 
family  matters,  assists  and  abets.   Together  they  have 
made  this  book  possible. 

Always  active  in  the  Church  of  Jesus  Christ  of 
Latter  Day  Saints,   Thelma  has  served  as  Mutual  presi- 
dent;  Relief  Society  president;   teacher  in  every  organ- 
ization;  has  held  stake  positions;   raised  a  family 
and  for  fifteen  years  worked  at  Lockheed  Aircraft  Co. , 
in  Burbank,  California,   a  niomber  of  years   in  a  super- 
visory position  there.   A  graduate  of  University  of 
Utah  with  a  BS  in  education,   she  has  taught  school 
at  various  times. 

Elmer's  chief   occupation  was  radio  operator, 
weather  observer,  field  manager,  aircraft  inspector  and 
was  retired  from  National  Aeronautics  Space  Agency.   In 
the  Church  he  has  served  as  teacher,  Sunday  School  pres- 
ident, stake  clerk,  stake  high  councilor  and  regional 
manager  of  welfare.

and  brush  from  a  right-of-way.        A  tree  that  was  being 
cut  down   fell   erratically,   killing  Leland   instantly. 

Millie   and      her   first  husband  were   divorced   in   1931. 
Before  her  marriage   she  had   studied   and  worked   as   a  beau- 
tician.     Moving   from  Utah   to  Ohio   to  be   near  her  mother 
who   then  assumed  the   care  of   the   baby,      Millie   again 
worked  as   a  beautician. For   awhile   she  maintained  a  beauty 
shop   in   the   home;      then      took   a   large   house      near   the

Grace   OGDEN  was   born   on   the   Frank  BAKER   farm  one 
hour  before   assistance   came.      Her  mother   and   father  were 
alone   at   the   time,      so  Mother   sat  up   and   directed   Father 
on  how  to   tie   and  cut   the   cord. 

Educated    in   the   Richfield   schools,      she   accepted 
a   call    for   a  mission      to   the   North   Central    States      for 
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- 
ing  Bishop's   office    in   the   church  until   her  marriage   in 
1943.      There   followed  years   of  moving   from  place   to  place 
in  Mexico   and  Arizona,      finally      returning   to   Salt  Lake 
City.    Problems   developed    in   the  marriage   and   on   23    Dec 
1958,    she  was   divorced    from  Mr.    LeBaron.      After   that   time 
she   supported  her   family  by  working   in   the   hospitals   of 
Utah  County.      A  devoted   and   faithful  mother,    she   raised 
her   children   to  honorable   adulthood.      She   is   an  honor 
and  blessing   to  her   parents   and   family.

"I   spent  most  of  my  early  years   on   the   farm   three 
miles   southwest  of   Richfield,    where  we   had   a   small  dairy 
farm.      My   job  was   to   help  milk  between   twenty   and   thirty 
cows   night   and  morning,    by   hand;      bottling   and  deliver- 
ing  the  milk  by   horse   and  buggy   to   customers   around   town. 
In      the   Slimmer  we   had   cattle   and   sheep   to  herd    in    the 
fields   or   the   nearby   foothills. 

"I   attended   schools    in   Richfield,    graduating   from 
Richfield   High   School    in    1936,    then  went   to   an   aircraft 
school    in      Los   Angeles   to    learn   the   building   of   airplanes 
but   never   did  work   at   this   trade. 

"My   earliest   steady   employment  was   as    a   truck 
driver   for   a  wholesale  grocery  concern.      I   spent   some 
six   years   driving   between   Richfield   and   Salt      Lake,    dis- 
tributing groceries   to   the  various  merchants   south  of 
Nephi   and  Mount   Pleasant. 

"It  was  while   pursuing   this   occupation   that   I  met 
and    later  married  Jean  Marie   SPERRY,      We     Hved    in   Salt 
Lake   for   a   short  while,    then  moved   to   Richfield  where   I 
became   self   employed   as   an   auto  mechanic.      This   became 
our    livlihood   for   some   twenty  years.      Then   in   1967    I 
accepted   employment  with  Utah  Power   and  Light   Company, 
where    I   have  worked   since,      having   held    several   positions 
such   as  meter   reader;    collector;      ware-houseman;       store- 
keeper;   equipment   operator    and   an   automotive  mechanic. 

"Our   three    lovely   daughters   have   brought  us  much 
joy   and   happiness   and   are   all   devoted   to   the   Church   and 
its   teachings. 

"I   served   as    second  counselor   to   Bishop  Wayne 
CAMPBELL   in   Richfield   First  Ward    1956    to    1961;      acted 
as   Priest   Quorum   advisor;       scoutmaster;      Young  Men's 
Mutual   Improvement   president  and   other  positions   in   the 
Church. "

FALLENTINE 

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

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

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  still  live  in  the  home  we  built  in  Orderville. 
Joe  retired  last  winter  and  we  enjoy  average  good  health.

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.

lived  many  years   in  Washington,    Utah,    where   as   a  young 
man   I  wasn't   too   active   in   the   Church.      During  World  War 
II      I   decided   the   Church  had  more   to  offer   than  anything 
else   in   life   so  now  I*m  very  active.      My  present   job   in 
the   Church   is  Ward  Clerk,    so   I   realize   the    importance  of

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-

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  am  a  High  Priest  in  the  Church  of  Jesus  Christ

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.

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

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

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- 
ious duties,  he  is  preparing  to  go  to  the  Philipines  to 
serve  on  a  mission. 

Murry  is  a  light-hearted,  fun  loving  individual 
and  makes  people  happy  just  to  be  around  him.   He  earn- 
ed his  Eagle  Scout  award  when  he  was  16   and  a  year 
later  got  the  Duty  to  God  Award.   He  has  been  active 
in  the  priesthood. 

It  has  been  a  special  privilege  to  watch  the  twins, 
Robert  and  Roberta,  grow  up  together.   Robert  is  very 
protective  of  his  sister,  very  affectionate  with  the 
family.   He   earned  his  Eagle  award  at  the  age  of  14; 
is  athletic  and  confident,   Roberta  is  a  sweet,  sensi-

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.

From  a  letter  of  15  June  1977,   written   by  Leta's 
mother  ,  Viva  Jones  Carter: 

"Our  daughter  passed  away  14th  May.   We  will  miss  her 
very  much  but  are  relieved  that  she  is  now  free  from 
suffering.   It  was  a  privilege  to  be  with  her  for  the 
five  months,  something  I  will  always  treasure.   She  was 
an  inspiration  to  all  who  knew  her. 

"Elder  Monson  phoned  her  one  night  about  a  month 
before  she  passed  away   and  the  next  morning  Pres.  Kim- 
ball prayed  for  her  in  their  prayer  circle,  which  made 
her  very  happy."

in  Switzerland. 
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

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.

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

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

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.

14-50  Jared  Stephen  GIBSON  b  29  Apr  1973 
14-51  Louisa  Jean  GIBSON  b  12  Jan  1975 

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

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-

In  1964  he  graduated  from  the  University  of  Utah

time  his  first  two  sons  were  born.   In  1969  he  was  trans- 
ferred to  Ogden,  Utah,  where  he  taught  at  Weber  State 
College   Institute  of  Religion  and  served  as  the  bishop 
of  the  Ogden  13th  Ward.   His  third  son  was  born  while 
they  lived  there,  the  mother  returning  to  Salt  Lake  for 
the  birth. 

In  1973  Richard  and  his  family  moved  to  Provo,  Ut. ,

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.

Udell  Lynn  Chidester  attended  Riverside  Element- 
ary, Jordan  Junior  and  West  High  schools,   and  in  1960, 
graduated  from  the  University  of  Utah  with  a  BA  in 
psychology. 

During  his  school  years  he  was  always  active  in 
baseball.    As  a  senior  in  high  school  he  was  chosen  for 
the  American  Legion  All  Star  Team;   and  at  the  Univers- 
ity of  Utah  he  made  the  Western  Athletic  Conference  All 
Stars.   He  played  semi-pro  baseball  in  Calgary,  Canada. 

Although  Lynn  earned  his  degree  in  psychology,  he 
minored  in  business   and  after  college  he  decided  to  join 
his  father  and  brother  at  the  Star  Plumbing  and  Heating 
Inc.   He  assumed  the  responsibility  of  office  manage- 
ment and  estimating  and  bidding.   The  retirement  of  his 
father  left  the  business  to  Lynn  and  Myron.   Eventually 
Myron  sold  his  interest  to  Lynn  and  Lynn  became  the  sole 
owner  of  the   one-time  family  business. 

Lynn's  interests  are  still  with  baseball,  both 
with  the  playing  and  coaching.   He  also  enjoys  back  -

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."
