and wavy auburn hair. In spite of the fact that he had been divorced and was 20 years older than Mother, she was very much in love with him, and they were happy together. Mother's parents were opposed to the marriage, but on a beautiful day in September 1904, they were married in Salt Lake City. They made the long trip with horse and buggy. Their first home was in South Weber with Father' s elderly mother. Melba was born here on June 19, 1904. Mother and Father played to dances and other socials, with him on the violin and her accompanying him on the piano or organ. Father was a fine musician. A short time later, Father went to Park City where he began working in the Silver King Mine. Mother and Melba soon joined him and it was here that the three other children were born: Marjorie on February 8, 1907; Thomas Lester, April 2, 1909; and John Virgil on May 28, 1911. About seven years after their marriage, Father became sick with heart disease and we moved back to South Weber with Grandmother Ray. Father died here in April of 1912. Mother later moved the family to Mountain Green where we lived with her parents. From here we moved to the Stuart-Thornley Ranch where Mother cooked for the ranch crew. We were there about a year. We attended school in Peterson, and one year Mother drove the school wagon with Uncle Jim's team. He was very good to my Mother. We also went to Church in the old sandstone chapel. We moved to a little frame house across the street from Ralph Warner. The house belonged to Edwin Warner. We then moved to Morgan and lived first in a huge room that had been a store. It was on main street. We were here about two years. We later moved and lived in various houses in South Morgan and mother had many jobs over the next several years. She assisted Dr. Abbot and became very profic¬ient at nursing. She was elected Morgan County treasurer and served two terms. On January 18, 1922, Lester died and was buried in the Uintah cemetery by his father. In 1924 HOME IN MOUNTAIN GREEN 276
