Lettice (Lettie) Celesta, January 11, 1968. Isaac's children by Emily Pauline were: Emile Isaac, January 9, 1859, Julius Augustus, October 10, 18 60; Edward Charles, March 19, 1862 and a step daughter, Emily Pauline Abbott, December 24, 1871 born in Willard, Utah. During the year of 1869, Isaac and his family moved to West Weber where they were among the first settlers in this area. He engaged in family and stock rasing. This first year was a difficult one, for food was scare. All native herbs were utilized to their full extent. Milkweed roots, young lucerne, pig weed (lambs quarters as it was sometimes called) were cooked and eaten as vegetables. Cornmeal and graham flour were used to make mush, muffins and bread. He owned a cow which provided most of their milk supply. Sugar and meat were most scarce; therefore, whenever sugar cane was grown in West Weber, families would get their supply of molasses. Next to his home, he built a log cabin home for his mother. She slept there nightly, but spent the daytime with the family. He and his wife and children were every thoughtful of her needs and comfort. Isaac often arose at night to care for his mother's needs. She passed away in their home at the age of eighty years. The funeral was also held in their home. They traveled to Ogden where she was buried in the Ogden City Cemetery. While living in West Weber, four more children were born to Madeleine: Mary Agnes, September 21, 1871; Jennie Ritchie, November 2 9, 1973; Ida Madeleine, February 27, 1875; and Dina Pauline, November 26, 1878 who died in infancy. In the course of ten years, he owned two homes and forty acres of farm landall brought about through determination and hard work. He also owned an extra farm on what was then called "The Island"having to commute there and back by boat. On his farm he raised chickens, pigs, sheep, and the best of cows and horses. Many varieties of vegetables including squash and corn were grown. He had wheat and hay fields. He owned machines for cutting and thrashing the wheat. Harvest time provided exciting and enjoyable experiences for his children. Watching the hired men at work, the preparation of large dinners for the help, and seeing beautiful bushels of golden wheat being stored in the granary were most enjoyable events for them. Isaac and his family took an active part in church and social events of the West Weber community. He always took his family to church. The Fast Day meeting was held on Thursday. He would always stop his work on the farm to take all of the family to this meeting. He delighted in seeing his children enjoy wholesome activities and entertainment. There were ward plays, parties, dances, and occasional candy bees. All special holidays and events during the summer were held at the bowerylocated next to the school building. He would take his family to join in the festivities of these occasions. A band would play from early morning and throughout the day. The ward would be canvassed to raise money to buy buns and make lemonade in a barrel. There was always a program arranged for these celebrations. His children often reminisced about these eventful years of their lives. Many lifetime friends were made while living in West Weber. The
