Show Washington Avenue. The lot (afterward) was occupied by the Consolidated Implement Company. My home was a two-story adobe house. I raised a family of eight children: Many Ann, Edward, Eliza, David, Charles Arthur, Brigham, Ida May, and Israel. My oldest girl, twenty-one years and my youngest, a boy of three years, died eleven days apart. Besides rearing my own, I helped to take care of three other motherless children. Through God's blessings, I have been given strength to stand my sorrows and trouble. I lived in the old home until 1885. Then I moved to 163 22nd Street. My husband died at Marriottsville the 10th of June 1899 at the age of 82 years. I went to Evanston, Wyoming in 1894 to live with my daughter, Mrs. Lauder. Later I went to Salt Lake City, Utah, and lived there for five years with my youngest daughter, Mrs. Creamer. Then we moved to Ogden and lived in my old home on 22nd Street for eight years. Then my daughter bought her home at 453 13th St. where I am now living. I have tried to live a righteous life and do unto others as I would have them do unto me. I am 75 years old, and with God's blessings I hope to live to see peace over the nations again. Tesesa (Trezer) Southwick Marriott died the 6th of December 1920 at the age of eighty years. |
