Henrietta Peck Rich no 22 My mother, Henrietta peck Rich, way born August 3, 1823, at Bainbridge, Shenango Co., New York. Her parents were Benjamin Peeck and Phoebe Crosby. After the death of Mr. Peck her mother married Joseph Knight. The restoration of the gospel had not taken place at the time of Mr. Peck's death, and shortly before he died he said to his wife, "Phoebe, the true gospel is not upon the earth. It will be, and you will live to see it, but I never shall." My grandmother was a tailoress and a wonderful sewer. She was not able to support her family and the children had to be "put out". Mother lived in the homes of the Pro¬phet and Parley P. Pratt for a number of years. She was baptized when she eight years old, and married my father, Thomas Rich, in 1840. My father had spent a lot of his time in Kentucky. He was a cousin of Apostle Charles G. Rich. My parents were among the first to be sealed in the Nauvoo Temple in 1846. They suffered the privations and mobbings of the saints in Missouri and Illinois. I have heard my mother tell that at one time she, with a number of other women, were camped back of some willows and the women "run" bullets while the men used them in defending themselves against the mob. She says they had no fear of being shot. My father was not a financier, but he was generous to a fault. He used to help others as long as he had anything. He would feed others' horses when his own had to go without. He often gave away the last flour we had, and when mother would remonstrate he would say, "Never mind, mother, we'll get more." And we were never without bread. After the Saints were dreiven out of Nauvoo my parents prepared to cross the plains in 1847. Mother made a wagon cover, sewing every stitch by hand. Father's cousin, Chas. C. Rich, for some reason, was very anxious to leave for the west, and asked father to let him have his outfit, father did so and remained behind; mother was grieved and dis¬appointed about it, but they set to work to prepare another outfit. However, they were unable to get away until 1850. They travelled by ox team in Joseph Young's company. Their first home in Utah was in Centerville. They went South with the 'move' in 1868, and returned to Center¬ville, where they remained until April 1861, when they came up to Weber Valley and settled in Richville. There were only two or three families in Ricvville before this time. We had a little log house with a dirt roof and dirt floor. I was born there Dec. 10, 1861, and was the first white child born in Richville. Mother cooked over a fire place with a bake kettle. she was noted for her soda biscuits. The people who lived near her were always pleased to get some of them. She had very little chance for education but had a strong testimony of the gospel and tried to live her religion. She was very strict in teaching chastity to her children. About 1868 she was appointed President of the first Relief society of Richville. She felt very incapable of holding the position, but made a splendid success of her work. My parents had a farm in Porterville and moved there about 1872. They were the parents of fourteen children and raised eight of them, six girls and two boys. All married except one daughter. Father died Jan. 26, 1884 and mother died Mar. 8, 1896. They were buried at Porterville, Morgan County. by Mariette H. Waldron.
