Show ELIZA (LISLE) MARRIOTT LAUDER Written by MADELEINE MARRIOTT HARROP (her niece) We always referred to her as Aunt Lisle. She was my father's sister and was born December 4, 1866, at the family home on the northeast corner of 23rd Street and Washington Blvd. I remember her being a gracious and loving person. My folks told us, when we were children, about her marriage to William James Gunnel Lauder of Evanston, Wyoming. Her husband was a well-know business man in Evanston. He and his father owned a dry goods store and were a well-to-do-family. Lisle and William had two daughters. The elder was Teresa Jane Lauder and the other was Lisle Annie Lauder. Aunt Lisle was a good homemaker and was always busy sewing, cooking, and washing in her home duties. When her baby Lisle was only two days old, her husband took ill with pneumonia and died. My folks said this was such a shock to Aunt Lisle having two little children to care for that she sent for her mother Teresa to come and live with her and help her through the tragedy of loosing her husband. A few years after the death of Lisle's husband, she moved to Ogden and bought a home at 171 22nd Street. Aunt Lisle was a beautiful seamstress and made a living sewing for others. My father loved to camp out and take the family and as many relatives as could join him. One summer, we camped out during the season at South Fork where we had a large tent and were close to the river. Dad drove back and forth daily to work and would bring supplies in the evening from the gardens and various groceries. Orion would occasionally come up to be with us but because of his work at the Souther Pacific offices, he would stay in the family home on Porter Avenue. Then another summer, we camped out just east of Gray Cliff Lodge in Ogden Canyon on an empty lot. After dad bought property in Ogden Canyon, just about a block and a half from the Hermitage, he had his son Milton build us a summer home. Dad suggested that Aunt Lisle camp just east of our home where they set up a large tent for the summer. What excitement one night when my cousin Lisle and her husband Cecil Farley were visited by a porcupine. Those were fun times. Aunt Lisle and her daughter were jovial and fun to be with. Aunt Lisle bought the home to the east of our summer house. Later she sold the home to Aunt Ida Ferrin and her husband Uncle Chariton. When Aunt Lisle's older daughter, Teresa, divorced her husband, Carl DeLamater, Teresa took her children and moved to California to find work and a new life there. When she was established there. Aunt Lisle and her daughter. Lisle, who had divorced Cecil Farley, moved to California to join Teresa and her family. Once when mother, Ida, and I were visiting relatives in Southern California, Aunt Lisle invited us out to dinner at a nice restaurant. About a year and a half before she passed away, she made a visit to Ogden and spent time with us before my father passed away. We found her to have the same sweet disposition of the Aunt we had always loved. She was living in |
