condition was such that he should not be moved for six weeks. It was only two days after the doctor's visit that Dad passed away. Charlotte and Orion immediately made all arrangements for the body to be sent by train to Ogden for burial. They brought Mother and Shirley back to Ogden so mother could take care of the services and burial. After the funeral for Dad, Mother said to Vern and me, "Why don't you continue to live with me here until you decide what you want to do." Shirley and Ida were also living there. Mother felt secure having Vern with us. HOMEMAKER and CARE GIVER My major activity with the birth of our first son, Jerald Vern Harrop, in 1943 was homemaking. This continued with the birth of our second and only other child, Lowell Marriott Harrop, born in 1948. My other major activity between 1946 and 1957 was the sole care of my dear, elderly, widowed mother. By 1946 four of my brothers and my dad had passed away. This left only my mother, Mary, my only other brother, Orion, my only sister, Ida, and myself remaining from my immediate family. MADELEINE MALAN FARLEY I thought that I would mention a few things that my Mother often repeated to us concerning her mother, Madeleine Malan Farley. In the old country, Madeleine Malan excelled in her school studies and hoped at graduation to teach school. When the authorities learned that she and her family had joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, they would not accept her into a teaching position. This was a severe disappointment in her life. She said in her autobiography that her desire to teach was fulfilled by being able to teach in the various organizations of the L.D.S. Church. When William Moore, one the church students of Madeleine Malan Farley, was on his mission, he stated that several times he was asked questions to which he had immediate answers by recalling what he had been taught by Madeleine Malan Farley. Many times during his life when he would see me, he would express his thankfulness for my grandmother's teachings. Grandmother was called often by Church authorities to translate letters and written material which was in French, her native tongue. I recall, though, that Grandmother spoke beautiful English with no accent. Mother also said that Grandmother and her twin sister, my Aunt Emily Malan Farley, would sing duets occasionally in French at Stake Conferences.
