His people were converts to the Church; he was baptized in Ireland at the age of twelve, and he came with his folks to Utah, where they settled at Bountiful. When around the age of twenty-two, he drove an ox team back East after some of the Saints. He was superintendent of the Woodruff Sunday School for twenty-five years. He spent most of his life farming. Sarah's mother, Polly Tryphena Fairchilds Bryson, was born December 11, 1846, at Conewango, Cattaraugus County, New York. She and her mother came to Salt Lake in 1859, where she was baptized. Sarah's mother received a good education for people of those days. When she was twenty-two, she taught school for two years at Bountiful, where she met and married Samuel Bryson, Jr., Mrs. Bryson was also a good seamstress; she made men's suits, coats and most all kinds of clothes. After moving to Woodruff, Utah, she was president of the Young Ladies Mutual for twenty-five years, at two different terms. She was secretary of the Relief Society for several years. She raised a family of nine children, of which Sarah Iryphena Bryson was the oldest. She was born April 9, 1868, at Bountiful, Utah. She was born in a two room house, which was considered real nice for those days. At the age of four, her parents moved to Woodruff, Utah. At that time, Woodruff was considered a wonderful ranch country. Water and grass was plentiful for animals, and there was lots of deer, chicken, sage hens, and other wild game. They were among the first settlers of Woodruff. In Sarah's early days she received all the education that was possible at that time. Her grandmother, and also her mother, taught school, mostly in their homes. When she was a real young girl, her grandmother taught her to knit and to piece blocks; she made enough blocks for a quilt at the age of nine. She was frightened several times by Indians. The Washakie tribe would spend their winters out there, hunting wild game. They would go to the homes to trade beads, etc. for bread and other food. In the year of 1885, Sarah married William Cook in the Logan Temple. They went to Border, and lived on a ranch for three years where two of her children were born. They then moved to Garden City, Utah, where she became the mother of three more babies. She clerked for many years in a store at Garden City, also at Woodruff, Utah. At Garden City, she went out nursing, as it was about thirty-five miles to a doctor. She liked this profession; she packed up and went out nursing, with the doctor nearly all the time. Lots of times he couldn't or didn't get there in time, so she delivered many babies alone. Mrs. Cook was known for her kindness and patience and for this she is known in both places as "Aunt Sadie." She sang in the choir from the young age of fourteen to fifty. She was secretary of the Relief Society for many years and when her children were small, she always went to Sunday School with them. Since moving to Morgan, she hasn't been so active in the Church, but she isn't an idle person. She has done lots of knitting, making quilts, crocheting, and she loves to read good books. •©©•
