Autobiography of JENNIE RITCHIE FARLEY GIBSON I am the daughter of pioneer parents Isaac Robeson Farley and Madeleine Malan Farley, born 29 November 1873 in West Weber, Weber County, Utah. I was blessed January 1, 1874 by Bishop John I. Hart. I was baptized 1 June 1881 by Elder Ammon Green and confirmed by Elder Archie McFarland. I was married June 7, 1893 in the Salt Lake Temple to George W. Gibson, son of Martha Gibbs and Henry Elliott Gibson. My father's parents were Edward Farley and Mary Moore Farley. My mother's parents were John Daniel Malan and Pauline Combe Malan. My father came to Utah from Commerce, Hancock County, Illinois. My mother came to America with her parents in 1855. Four children were born to usMabel Madeleine Gibson Farr, born 3 August 1895, Jennie June Gibson Franklyn, born 6 June 1897, George Vivian Gibson, born 7 June 1900 and Dora Louise Gibson Grob, born 14 March 1906. All were married in the LDS Temple. My husband passed away the 19th of June 1938 in Oakland, California. My early schooling was in the West Weber School. When my parents moved to Ogden City, Utah, I attended the Mound Fort School and as a young woman later took a course in teacher training at the Weber Normal Academy. While in West Weber, I faithfully attended primary and when the stake primary gave a program in the Ogden Lester Park, I would often have a part on the program. I also took part in the Sunday School and enjoyed the work. The Weber Stake had been divided into three stakes July 19, 1908. The Ogden Stake was organized July 26, 1908Thomas B. Evans, President, Charles C. Richards, 1st Counselor and Thomas E. McKay, 2nd Counselor. The 7th Ward was organized November 1, 1908 with Miles L. Jones Bishop, Aasel Farr, 1st Counselor, and Brother Winslow Farr, 2nd Counselor. I have taken part as ward and class teacher of the Relief Society and taught in Sunday School in the first intermediate class in the year of 1903. I was at that time about 30 years old. About the year of 1904 I was called to be President of the Primary Association of the old Mound Fort Ward. The meetinghouse was commonly called "The Barn" because of its large, one room, frame structure being used for all meetings as well as an amusement hall. It had a suitable floor for dancing and a large stage. This building was located approximately at 584 12th Street. Arilla Shaw Bailey was my First Counselor and Hanna Dixon was my Second Counselor. I served in this calling for a number of years until illness prevented me from continuing in this capacity and was released on my return from the hospital. Bishop James Taylor was Bishop until the stake was divided and the old Mound Fort Ward became the 7th Ward of the new Ogden Stake.
