Sister Lucy Rich was chosen treasurer of the Primary of Morgan Stake at thirteen years of age. During this time, the Primary gathered up means and emigrated two little orphan girls from Denmark who each grew to womanhood and are mothers of large families. Lucy's mother was Relief Society President of Morgan. General Board members who made their stops at my mothers home while they visited in Morgan made it possible for me to listen to many fireside conversations of those dear sisters. . . . One evening she [Eliza R. Snow] took off her watch and passed it around and told us to take a good look at it and told us all it was the Prophet Joseph's watch. When it came my turn to take it she said to me, 'Lucy, when you are a grandmother, I want you to tell your grandchildren what you have seen tonight.' One time when I drove them, [Sis. Snow and others] to the depot to return to their home, the train was late and Sister Snow said to me, 'Lucy, would you like a blessing?' I said, 'Certainly.' So she with my mother and two sisters put their hands on my head and blessed me. She hardly had begun to speak, when she started to speak in tongues. When she was through she gave the interpretation. She said I should live long and do much good and raise a family that my mother would be proud of. This has been literally fulfilled. At a conference held April 30, 1886, SisterSimmons of the general board spoke. She urged the children to work for merit cards. Sister Welch asked the little girls not to bang their hair as someday they would want to go through the temple. In early days traveling to ward primaries was a difficult task In winter months, the bob-sleigh was filled with straw and large rocks which had been heated in the oven overnight, were buried in the straw; then each sister wrapped in a quilt, would snuggle down into the straw and hot rocks. They were truly thankful for a good 'rig' and a congenial drive. The husbands of these officers were due much credit, too. It would take the greater part of a day to make the trip to Croydon or Mountain Green to visit and at ward conference time they always stayed over Saturday night and visited Sunday sessions of the conference. In the summertime it was more pleasant. The team was hitched to a two seated, white top buggy, usually taking two hours each way to outlying wards. One fall they had all the primary children go gleaning wheat. The stalks that were left standing around the edges of the field after the binder had taken the main crop were gathered by the children. The owner of the thrasher would thrash it free and it was sold. The money received was used to do many projects. A set of Standard Works was purchased and paid for with gleaning money and donated to the new stake.39 Counsel to the Priesthood President Willard G.Smith on5 October 1881 gave counsel and direction to the priesthood leadership of the Stake. He asked the bishops to occasionally remind the membership of their wards that all worthy males should be ordained and that all persons attending the Endowment House should have a recommend signed by a member of the stake presidency. All should be physically clean, and the men should wear a long-tailed white shirt. 26
