NAME and BLESSING On December 5, 1909, I was given a name and blessing by Elder Asael Farr in the Ogden LDS 7th Ward. I was named Mary after my mother, Mary Agnes Farley Marriott, and Madeleine after my grandmother, Madeleine Malan Farley. 1208 PORTER AVENUE In their early married life, my parents bought a lot at 1208 Henniger which was later renamed Porter Avenue. They purchased a two-room photography shop which had been located on Washington Boulevard near 12th St. They moved it onto the lot which was adjacent to Grandmother and Grandfather Farley's lot and home at 122 0 Henniger Avenue. They started remodeling and adding on always making the house look attractive. They planted grass, built a fence to the north (which ran east and west), planted an apple tree, pear trees, a black walnut tree, and an apricot tree. The two latter trees mentioned yielded wonderful crops over sixty years. An oriental plum tree, which my brother Orion planted in back, made delicious bright-pink jelly. Soon after moving to their home on Porter Avenue, Dad built a large hayloft on the north side and housing for horses and cows to the south of the lot and east of the house. I well remember the wagon coming-- piled high with hay to be stored in the barn. GRANARY I remember as a child a large granary which sat at the back of our lot. Dad filled it with large bags of wheat. When we were low on flour, he would take a sack to the mill where they would grind it into flour for our needs. It always amazed me what an excellent cook my mother was. She came from a family of pioneers, seven daughters and a son, who lived on a farm in West Weber. They suffered lean years and ate sego lily roots, mush, and other substitutes. My Mother and all her sisters became excellent cooks. Our driveway was next to the ditch which ran east to west on the south boundary of the property line. When vehicles of any kind came in the driveway, they could go directly to the barn or turn north and park near the southeast corner of the house. The ditch provided water for the animals and was also used to irrigate the south lawn, flower garden, fruit trees, and vegetable garden. In the yard east of the house, Dad constructed an outhouse and planted two lilac trees nearby. In the spring, the lilac trees were beautiful and fragrant and helped to hide the outhouse.
