I haue enjoyed immensely the chance I haue had to uiander downmemory lane uiith many of our ancestors, both liuing and thosedeceased; learn more about them, their struggles, sacrifices, humancharacteristics and sole-sauing deeds. I hope that each of you uihoreads this compiled treasure, will enjoy it and find at least a partof the loue and gratitude I haue felt for our ancestors. I haue triedreally hard to obtain accurate information and check out as much ofit as I could. The things we each eKperience, we tend to remember.Some of us may haue somewhat differiny memories of some of theincluded euents or stories. Ouer time, memories and stories fade.Therefore, many of the following stories are merely recollections ofuarious people and not actual accounts. If mistakes are made, theyare of the mind, not of the heart.

I haue not uerified the dates, etc. on the family group sheets, buthaue tried to obtain the most reliable copies to reproduce.

I really appreciate all those who haue added to this project In anyway. Thanks to my children Linda and Larry. They were my reasonfor starting this project. I wanted them to know more about -theirancestors. Thanks also to my sister, UaLoy Haderlie Anderson, forher continual help, support and encouragement, also to my niece,Susan lllamock for proof-reading and editing most of the stories.Most of all, thanks to my husband Jack D Lundberg for his supportof all my trips, phone bills, late night work on the computer,absence from the kitchen, and lack of help in the yard this pastsummer (1995), as I pursued, and Tmished this consuming goal ofobtaining and compiling familg history stories for Oliuer RomeoHaderlie, Tressa Elizabeth Kennington Haderlie, and their ancestors.

"Our dead are greater and more

truly alive than we are. When we

forget them, it is our whole future

that we lose sight of; and when we fail

in respect to them, it is our own im

mortal soul that we are trampling

under our feet."

Maurice Maeterlinck

TANGLED ROOTS

I went searchin' for my ancestiyIn hopes that 1would find.Some royalty connectionFrom a lineage proud and fine.

My searchin'Just uncovered --A host of renegades.And I won't claim a single oneUpon a written page.

Oh, I got nx)ts in my cellar,I got roots in my floor.I got roots in my gardenThat ain't never growed before.

I got roots in my chinmeyAnd the smoke is pourin* in.But I ain't got no relativesThat I would claim as kin.

And all I find is tangled rootsWhile lookin' for my kin.

Uncle Harry was a gentlemanSo. once more I pursued.*Cause no one wants to settle for

Relatives that are crude.

The more we know aboutour ancestors, the more weknow about ourselves.

by Melbe Colvin Peny

Fer weeks I searched and finally foundHis great, great ancestry,Alas, he met his final endUpon that hangin' tree.

Now let this be a wamin'

Unless you search in veinAnd look fer someone fiDm the pastTo lend a little fame.

For you will more than likely findUpon that closet shelf --Just lazy good-fer-nothin' folksExactly like yourself!

Jenny Alligy's the cause of thisI'm certain sure that's true.Why couldn't she be satisfiedWith kin-folk that she knew?

She's stirred the whole dam countiy up.I guess she never knowed,Fer most of us Just tangled rootsIs all that ever growed!

AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF OLIVER ROMEO HADERLIE

I, Oliver Romeo Haderlie was bom Aug. 15, 1899 in a small house at Providence,Cache, Utah. I had dark hair and blue eyes and was a healthy boy. My mother likedto listen to Shakespeare and thus I received the middle name of Romeo.

I was bom to Charles Henry Haderlie and Bertha Schiess. My father was apolygamist having two wives. His first wife Babetta Schiess was my mother's oldersister. Each wife had thirteen children, eight boys and five girls. My brothers andsisters are: Fredrick William, Charles Marion, Clifford Moroni, Carlett, Roy Legrant,Emest Lavon, Mabel Artella, Ina Bertha, Leo Lester, Delia Rosalia, Blanch Idell andWanda Florence. My half brothers and sisters are: Henry Walter, Lillie Barbara,John Joseph, David Amold, Luther Herman, Annie Evelyn, Ida May, Lula Irene,Edward Winifired, Wilford LeRoy, Austin Lloyd, Hazel LaFem, and Gilbert Schiess.As you can see I came from a large family. Because of this there were many trialsand hardships.

Along with having two wives and three children (two more on the way), my father,Charles Henry, went on a mission to Germany for forty months. During this timehe received #30.00 for support from home. While on his mission the goverrmient inUtah started cracking down on the polygamists and making them divorce one oftheir wives. Dad leamed of this. When he came back from his mission the

government officials were watching and waiting for him. He disguised himself as abum and smoking a pipe was able to escape them. Because of the pressure and banon polygamy in Utah, he was forced to move his families one at a time to Freedom,Idaho. Father first moved his first wife, Babetta, and family to Tin Cup, Idaho, byFreedom. It took quite a while to be able to move his two families without beingdiscovered. He went from Utah to Idaho several times. It was during one of histrips to Star Valley that I was bom. In 1900 when I was about six months old myfather moved my mother, my four older brothers, and myself to Star Valley. Thiswas six or eight years after his first family had moved. My mother and her childrenhad been staying with her parents. Both families then lived in Tin Cup together fora few years.

As children we saw our father very seldom because of his dividing his time betweentwo families and working hard to support them. Soon after moving to Star Valleymy two brothers. Cliff and Carl, saw a strange man coming. They ran and hid, buthe found them euid spanked Cliff for some misdemeanor. Afterward they found outthe strange man was our father.

Being one of a large family I never lacked for someone to play with. When I was asmall boy we played mumble peg and other games. Later my time was spent pla3^gin the fields, fishing, chasing June bugs and playing with the neighbors' kids. As wegrew older our recreation was skating, skiing, cosisting, and sleigh riding in thewinter. In the summer we would go fishing and swimming. We didn't have radio,TV. automobiles or other things that they have now. We had to make our own skisand sleds. I also spent a lot of time catching squirrels, putting a brand on them,cutting ofiftheir tails and then turning them loose.

Page 10: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

When we were growing up the boys slept in the loft of the woodshed. In the summerwhen it was hot we would get up two or three times in the night and, in ournothings, run down to the saw mill pond and go swimming to cool off. Then wewould run back up and go to bed.

When I was young I had whooping cough and mumps. Our necks were so swollenwe had to tie a rag around our head to hold the mumps from moving. We had thehives too. Everyone thought we had a terrible disease and would not come near ourplace. In 1940 I had a bad case of rheumatism. I had scarlet fever and otherdiseases when my children had them. In the spring of 1959 when the Asian flu wasgoing around so strong, I got it. I was terribly sick and was in bed for nearly twoweeks. It reeilly struck me hard and I thou^t I was going to die. I gradually gainedmy strength back.

When I was eleven yeeirs old I started school. The school was a log cabin up on theold Walton place. There were no buses. Along with my brothers and sisters I walkedtwo miles, often in blizzards and sub-zero weather, to get to school. It was late inthe year when I started, as it always was because of farm work. The books were allgone and everyone was way ahead of me. I was kept in all day the first day and Icried all day. We were always kept out of school when diseases were around. Earlyin the spring we would have to stay home and help with the planting and farm work.

One day as we were walking home from school, a big blizzard came up. We hadbook sacks to cany our books in, which mother had made out of old overalls. Mytwo older brothers took the books out of my sack and put them in their bags. Theyslipped my book bag over my head and led me home. I couldn't see where I wasgoing. Finally a man came along and picked us up and took us home. We onlylived about 2 miles from school but the roads weren't cleared out and we had towallow through the snow to get there.

I never did take an exam. If I knew we were going to have a test I would spend theday sitting under a tree or playing. I would eat my lunch Mother had sent and whenit was time for school to be out, I would go back home. If I didn't know we weregoing to have a test before I got to school, I would just scribble on the test papers or ^make a big zero and hand it in because I didn't know the answers.

When I got too big for the desk in one room the teacher would move me to another ^room. By this method I finally made it to the eighth grade. That was the end of myformal schooling, although I learned a lot from the school of hard knocks of life andthrough experiences. I can figure things out in my head quicker and moreaccurately than most people can on paper. I have my picture and brief story of mylife in the "Historical Encyclopedia of Wyoming, Vol 1" as one of the mostprominent and highly respected men in Lincoln Country. I supported and saw that ^my children got through grade school, high school and most of them throughcollege.

I was baptized on the 3rd day of June 1911 by George Passey and confirmed amember of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints by George Passey thesame day. Iwas twelve years old when Ifinally got baptized. My mother would send P

2

m

Page 11: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

me down to the river to be baptized, but I was scared and so I hid behind the treesuntil they were through. I got away with it for quite a while. I never went tochurch much after I was a small child until I was about 24. As a child we used togo in a white top buggy but in later years the family would go on Sundays to AuntSusan's (Bertha's brother Jake Schiess' wife) for dinner.

When I was about fourteen I stayed over on the homestead (my present farm) withmy older brothers. I became homesick. They thought I was really sick so they sentme home. I got well in a huny.

I used to take dinner across the river on a horse to my older brothers for mother.Vegetables were scarce and highly prized then. One day I weis taking some thickenedpeas along with something else to my brothers for dinner. Just after I crossed theriver I dropped the pail containing the peas. Knowing how scarce they were andknowing what I would "get" if I didn't get them to my brothers, I scraped them backinto the pail and continued on with them. My brothers ate them and didn't knowthe difference.

I remember how we rarely had oranges and bananas. I remember buying a bananaone time and thought I was a king.

When I was about sixteen I found a pair of gloves while I was walking to town. Wealways walked when we went to town. It was about three miles. I sold the ^oves toone of my brothers and bought me a trap. Then I began to trap muskrats. This ishow I earned my first money. Before that I hardly knew what money was. Later on Itrapped coyotes, skunks, beaver, and other animals.

When I was seventeen I went to Montpelier freighting and saw my first train. I usedthree head of horses and it took me four days to go and come. I would get groceriesfor the store in town, coal oil for lamps for everyone in the community, and suppliesfor my family.

My father had two saw mills. He moved one to Thayne, and a year or two latermoved our family (Bertha's) to Thayne. We rented a place just north of Alva Heap'sranch where the highway is now. When I was about eight years old my family movedto a new home my father had built Just east of Salt River- the old homestead whichwas later owned by my brother Carl. I remember running from room to room lookingover the new house when we moved in. My sister Mabel was the first child in ourfamily bom in Thayne. I helped father in the mills along with farm work when I wasolder.

I lived at the old homestead until I took up a homestead of my own in the spring of1921 where I have lived ever since. This rguich weis bought for $2500 and has avalue of $140,000 now (1976). My dad and brother Fred bought this ranch in 1912and worked it until Fred's death. Next my other brother Carl filed on it and then hemoved and I filed on it and proved up on it. I would still help my father in the millin the winter. My brother Cliff and I built a one room house on this ranch. LaterCarl built two more rooms on it. I lived on the land for three years before I could gettitle to it. The farm consisted of 515 acres. There was a very heavy mortgage on the

3

y

Page 12: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

land when I took it over, but none of the other boys wanted it. If I hadn't taken itthe family would have lost it. The interest had piled up so high, that for years I paidonly on the interest.

I batched and lived alone most of the time. My brother Ernest and Calvin Passeylived with me the first three years. I learned to cook for myself and am quite a goodcook to this time. I remember the first earthquake I ever felt. It was when thethree of us were in the house. We thought some big animal was outside runningaround the house making it shake. We got our guns and stood behind the door inthe wood box. We were going to shoot it when it came in. When it didn't come in,Cahon and I took the guns and went out to do the chores and left Ernest in thehouse.

When I was in my early twenties, I was full of life and veiy mischievous. I ranaround with a group of boys and pulled mciny pranks. One time I had some of myfriends over to the homestead ranch. For fun and lack of anything else to do, weshot flies off the walls with rifles. The house was rather breezy after that.Halloween was another time when we had fun. Along with some of my friends Iwould take one fanner's cows from his bam and put them in someone else's and putsomeone else's cows in his bam. Tipping over outhouses was another specialty. Iremember once of taking a wagon apart, hauling it on top of a bam piece by pieceand putting it back together again.

I liked to go to dances, but never had any money for a ticket. I tried getting in fornothing once in a while. Later when I got some money of my own I went and really ^had fun dancing. Once when I was riding a horse to the dance, I came upon askunk in the road. I ran over it and it sprayed me on my legs. I went to the danceanyway. Because of the smell, I would go in, dance and then go outside when themusic stopped. When the music started again I would go back in and dance again.I did this until about eleven o'clock when the floor manager found out who wascausing all the smell. Then he wouldn't let me back in.

I liked the skunk smell and messing around with them. One time when one of myfriends came to my house we discovered some skunks under one of the buildings.We decided to see if we could catch one. We dug a hole underneath the building sowe could get under there. My friend said, *Tou go under and get one." I got a bigstick and started under with my feet hanging out. I told him to pull me out if they ^came after me. Instead, when I said pull me out, he stood on my feet so I couldn'tget away. I did manage to catch one that was about half grown and brought himout. We took him over to town. They had confectionaries then, where they sold ^candy, ice cream, and stuff. I went up to the counter and set the skunk on it. Itwent a hoppin' down the counter. The woman behind the counter took oflf so fastthat she couldn't keep her feet under her. She fell on her hands and knees and ^went out the back door that way to get away from the skunk.

When I was about twenty, I went with my brother Charles to the canyon after logs.I saw where a bear had crossed the pond and fallen in. We followed her tracks. Shehad a cub with her. The side hills were bare. We ate our dinner and then went onup the canyon and found the bear tracks again. We followed them and found her ^

4

Page 13: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

cave. We sent our dog in, but the bear wouldn't come out. We began shooting intothe hole, and shot the cub in the nose. He came out. We shot him again and hefell back into the hole. I went in after him. The big bear was in there, too. When Ireached down to pick up the cub, the mother bear snorted in my face. The nextminute I was running down the hill with my coat off so I could run faster. I gotabout 200 yards away, saw she weisn't following, and went back and shot at heragain in the hole. This time Charles went in. The bear wasn't quite dead. Shesnorted again and Charles went running down the hill. We finally did get her out,though. She was huge -- weighed 400 pounds. We took her to Thajme. I rememberthe teachers let school out so that all the kids could go see the bear. We melted herfat and used it for years and years as harness and shoe grease.

When I was about 20 or 21 I bought a black-top buggy and a team. I went "courtin"in the buggy. I remember asking a girl for a good night kiss. She was so startled Idecided to never ask again until the girl asked first. I would look at a girl and think,*niat is the one I want." After I would go with her for a time, I would say, "No notthat one," until I met the one I married. I said, This is the one for me," and stayedwith her until I got her. When she met me she thought the same thing so it made itkind of easy for me. Tressa Elizabeth Kennington was a wonderful girl. She lovedto go to dances and parties and be with boys. I first met her at a dance in Thayne.She and her younger sister, Alta, were with some other bo}^. Their car broke downand they asked me if I would take them home. I said, Tes if you will find mesomeone to go with the next time I come up." So she did. It wasn't long until Istarted going with her and I never stopped until I got her. I used to take her niceboxes of candy and presents. I bought her some beads for her birthday. Hiat wasApril of 1925. Then that Christmas I got her a wrist watch. In June of 1926 I gaveher a diamond. She was thriUed with each thing I gave her. We went together for ayear and a half before we were meirried. We planned to get mcirried in October, but aterrible snow storm came up so we postponed it until November.

On November first my mother, my sister Ina, and I went to pick up my bride atAuburn, Wyoming. My bride's mother went with us, too. We started fi*om Auburnat eight o'clock. We took my brother Roy's car because it was nicer than mine. Weburned out a connecting rod going up Logan hill. It was about nine o'clock at nightwhen we finciUy reached Providence. We stayed at Aunt Susan Schiess* place thatnight.

They weren't performing marriages in the temple on the following day so Ina, nsybride, and I went on to Salt Lake City that day and back to Logsin that night.Tressa and her mother stayed at her Uncle Frank Bracken's home. My mom, sister,and I stayed at Providence again.

The next day, November 3, 1926, Tressa Elizabeth Kennington, daughter of JosephHyrum and Sarah Jane Walton Kennington, became my wife in the Logan temple.We were married by Joseph R. Shepherd who was then president of the temple. Wedrove home on the fourth sind lived in the house I had been batching in. She livedin Thasme all of her married life. All of her family moved out of the valley. Shewanted to leave in her later life, but I was too used to the farm and to the valley, sowe never left. She came from a large family too. Her pcirents were faithful members

V

of the church. They were strong believers in prayer and had taught Tressa to be,too.

We had been married a short time when some of our friends got drunk and decidedto shiveiy us. We were at a dance when Emma Hokanson heard them talking about nit and came and told us. On our way home we stopped at Mother's house and gotsome blankets. Then we drove our car behind a haystack there and bundled up. Wesaw and heard the crowd go by, hollering and shouting. After we saw them come pback we drove on home. What a mess they had made in our house! The mud wasso thick on the floors that we shoveled it out. They had Jimiped on our bed until itwas folded up with the headboard and foot together. Fm cifraid that if we would ^have been there, they probably would have done us some harm in the condition theywere in.

On my ranch I had two horses, Peach and Pearl. Peach was veiy sway-backed. Oneyear in the early winter two horse thieves came and stole them and went over thehill into Soda Springs. I followed them on another horse but couldn't find them. ^The next spring when the roads were open up Tin Cup over to Soda Springs, I wentover there in my car to look for them. I saw two horses down in the valley in a fieldand knew they were mine. I could tell because they were standing eating with theirheads together face to face as Peach and Pearl always did. They had been colts andraised together all the time. Also, one of them was very sway-backed. I went downto the field and called them by name. They looked up and recognized me and camerunning over to me. I found the man that claimed he owned them. When I askedhim where he had got them, he said two men sold them to him. I told him theywere mine and that they had been stolen. He told me to take them; he would gethis money back from the men who had sold them to him. It was very terrible to be ahorse thief in those days and worse if you were caught. I knew the way the manacted that he had stolen them himself or knew the men who had.

There were many coyotes in the hills and around my homestead. I killed eight ofthem at one time in a small basin. I tried running sheep on my place but thecoyotes kept killing them off. One morning I woke up and found two or three sheepup on the porch of the house cdl huddled in a comer and really shaking. About mforty of my sheep were gone. For years and years it was not uncommon to lookdown across the fields and see at least one or two coyotes. With the years they keptdwindling fi*om being shot or trapped ,which I did quite a bit by myself.

I owned a ModelT Ford which was something spectacular at that time. I would goup Tin Cup and over to Soda Springs. Many times I would get tired of following the nroad and, seeking excitement, would cut up over and back down the other side ofthe hill to the road instead of going around it. On the way I would jump oversagebrush and ditches which made for more excitement. p

My wife loved children. She cdways used to taike babies from mothers in church andtend them. Our first baby was bom December 31, 1927. It was a big blue-eyed baby Tboy. We called him Van K. Tressa was up at her parents' house as it was so far firomthe doctor her mother thought it best to have her up there. She didn't know forsure when the baby was supposed to be bom. She had been up there for about two ^

[

m

months before Van K was bom. The night he was bom Tressa had her dad call me.He told her it was too cold to have me come up, but she said she really wanted meto come. So he called Thayne. The only phone there was at my brother Charles'store. Charles got on a horse and went 3 miles to tell me. I got dressed and got onCharles's horse and started out. Charles crawled into my warm bed. I put on allthe clothes I could find, even my shaps. It weis cold -- 48 degrees below. I didn'tride the horse very far before I had to get off and walk to keep from freezing. Whenthe doctor came to help her, he got stuck with his car in a snow drift about a halfmile from the house so he had to walk. Van K wasn't bom until eight in themorning. I was so happy I cried. I turned my head so Tressa couldn't see me. Shehad a real hard labor with him. Someone came to visit and brought the scarletfever. Both Van K and TVessa got it. We spent an awful winter.

We didn't know much about babies and we took advice from everyone. We almoststarved Van K to death. Someone said only to give him so many ounces of milkevery four hours or he would get a hernia and possibly die. As his mother's milkdried up we fed him on the bottle. He was a big husky baby and was only gettinghalf of what he needed. He would cry from the time we took the bottle from himuntil we gave it to him again. I would lay him on my chest at night trying to gethim to stop crying. Then in the spring we went to Afton. We went into a storethere. Ed Lewis, a Jew, told us we were starving him and to feed him all he wantedwhen he wanted it. We came home and fed him every time he wanted it. He grewlike a weed and was a good baby after that. He grew up to be a fine, good-looking,intelligent maa. He served a year in the army, served a two year mission, andgraduated from the A.C. College with really good grades. He married Bemice Merrill28 March 1952, in the Idaho Falls temple. They have lived most of their lives inMontana. He has been a branch president and held many church ofiSces. They haveeight children: Brenda Lyrm, JoNell, Sheri, Dermis, Merrill, Brad, Kevan and Bryan.He works as a conservationist.

The next time we thought we would try having one in the summer. By chance wedid. Sybil was bom 25 August 1929. She was bom at night, too. Seems like wealways had them in the night. This time Tressa stayed at home to have the baby. Iwent for the mid-wife. She was at another house helping with another baby. I gother to come but in the process we lost one of the tires off the car. I didn't even stop.I never did find my tire. I was so proud of this baby girl. When I went to town I toldeveryone I was just as important as anyone else because I had cdl the kinds of kids.Sybil grew to be a fine girl. She helped her mother a lot with the house and raisingthe other children. She was alwaj^ a good worker. She was very smart and skippeda grade in grade school. Her brother Van K did. too. She attended college at theA.C.( now Utah State University) at Logan, Utah. She received msiny honors whilethere. She fulfilled a mission and has filled many positions in the church. Shemarried D Carl Wamock the 2nd of July 1954 in the Logan, Utah, Temple. They livein Sigurd , Utah. She taught school in Idaho Falls and Logan a few years before shewas married, and in Provo one year after. They have nine children: D Carl, Jr.,Rebecca, Rosalie, Deborah, David, (twins), Susan Jane, Marianne, Elizabeth, DeuiielLeroy. They lost Elizabeth when she was two months old. She died from spinalmeningitis. They have opened their hearts and home to Indian children who stayedwith them and received an education.

Then came Ralph Kennington Haderlie. He was really something. We didn't knowwhether we wanted to keep him or not. He hardly looked like a human. He surewas homely. He was so thin and long and the skin hung on him so he looked like awrinkled old man. He soon grew and came out of it and was a fine looking boy. Hewas bom June 1, 1931. He was bom at home too. EX^eiybody wanted us to namehim Brigham as he was bom on his birthday. He was so small we didn't think hecould carry that big of a name. When Van K and Sybil first saw him they said,"Let's poke him." He turned out to be a handsome man. He was a good boy, thoughquite mischievous at times, and helped me a lot around the farm. He graduatedfrom high school at Afton, Wyoming. He married Shirley Wolfley on 14 February1951 in the Logan Temple. He worked many different Jobs to support them in theirearly marriage. Later he took over the family farm here at Thayne. He held manydifferent positions in the church- Bp. of the Thayne 2nd Ward, High Councelor,stake missionary, and others, and has set a good example for his children. Hecontinues to be a hard worker and is always ready to help his neighbors. Ralph andShirley have five children: Richard, Michael, Randy, Laurie, and Christopher.

Now comes VaLoy. That was a night. We forgot about this winter stuff. She cameDecember 10, 1934. I kept the car mnning all day waiting for the call from hermother. TYessa thought she had to wait so long each time that she might as well doit at home. We waited almost too long. About seven at night we started for Afton.We got to Grover and ran into a herd of sheep. The car froze up. It was steaminglike a locomotive. When we finally got to the place where the doctor kept hispatients (we didn't have a hospital at the time) the nurse knew it would be soon.She grabbed the phone, called the doctor, and, in her excitement, dropped the phonedown hard. The doctor called back and said not to do that again. He came so fasthe forgot to put his shirt on. Things were flying and VaLoy was on the way. Tressahad been sick most of the time she was canying her. Just a while before she was ^bom Tressa had a nervous breakdown. She had goiter trouble which was causingher a lot of problems. She finally went to Ogden, Utah, to a Doctor Dumke, afterhaving a special blessing. He operated and removed the goiter. She never mcompletely got over it. Probablybecause of this problem, VaLoy was a nervous babyand cried a lot. She finally outgrew it and was a good girl. She helped her mother alot as she grew up. She graduated firom high school and went on to college. She nattended Ricks College at Rexburg, Idaho, and Utah State University. She lackedonly a few credit hours before graduating, but decided on marriage instead. She wasmarried to Vernal Ezra Anderson in the Logan Temple, 5 July 1957. She has beenactive in church work holding many different positions. They have three children:Brett Lee, Cathy and Allen K. They live in Kanesville, Utah.

Now Milton Kennington Haderlie. We thought we would try summer again, asthough we were thinking about when they would come. He was bom July 7, 1938.We were building a house for a widow. The night of the sixth I told them I wouldn't "be back to work the next day because I was taking my wife to the hospital. Thistime it was natural; nothing special happened. He was the best one we had for notmaking much noise. He soon grew and was a good helpful boy. He graduated from ^Utah State University with a mission and the army in between. He was marriedAugust 20, 1964 to Kathryn Elizabeth Bullock in the Salt Lake Temple. He hasbeen active in his church work. He works as a Refuge Manager. He has moved P

several times to further his career, living at Yuma, Arizona: Brigham City, Utah;js Tule Lake, California; Moiese, Montana: and back to Yuma, Arizona. They have four|] children: Kent, Scott, Margene and Alan.

Next was Marilyn bom 17 June 1941. We had gradually outgrown our three roomhouse we were living in and decided to build a new one (1941). We were living inone room, a part we kept from our old house. We sold the rest. It was moved over

(-t to the town of Thayne. I built a garage where most of the children and I slept thatsummer. We ate in the one room. It rained all summer. One of Tressa's cousinsgot killed with lightning. That summer I was so busy trying to put up hay and builda house, Tressa said I didn't love the baby since I never spent any time playing withher. I was so tired when night came I would just go to bed. Maril3m was a good babyand soon grew up to a wonderful girl. She often wished she had been a boy andwould sooner be outside helping me than doing girls things. She graduated fromRicks College and Utah State University. She taught school in Murray, Utah. Shehas been active in church and held many positions. She married Jack D Lundberg27 November 1968, in Midvale. Later, Dec. 1, 1979, they were sealed in the SaltLake Temple. They live in Midvgde, Utah and have two children: Linda and LarryHaderlie Limdberg.

Then came Brent Kennington Haderlie. He was bom December 14, 1942. He onlystayed with us for six days. He had something wrong inside that kept his food fromgetting to his stomach. They fed him through the veins to try to keep him alive. Hedied December 20, 1942. This was a sad day for all of us as we had looked forward

^ to anotherbaby. He was buried in the Thayne cemeteiy. I think I have a wonderfulfamily and am proud of all of them.

^ Our married life was a wonderful time, but along with the good there were hardtimes, too. We had quite a stmggle to pay for our farm. When we took it over fromMother, it was in debt so bad the ba^ was going to foreclose on it. There was

„ about a ten thousand dollar debt on it. Some of it was drawing twelve percentinterest. I took every job I could find besides mnning the ranch. I took a schoolhauling job for $23 a month. Tressa would drive the wagon while I hauled milk. Westuck with it until we got it p2iid for. I have still got an eight cent milk check we gotduring this time. I ssiid I would starve before I would cash it. TTiis was in 1932when the depression was on. My wife was a good manager and went without many

« things to help keep us going.

I hauled milk to the Freedom creamery for many years. I used a team and wagon.Hiis was the transportation we used most of the time because of the deep snow ormuddy roads. The team I used was very lively. I used them to mn races with myneighbors and friends. They got so they would alwa3rs run away and I couldn'tcontrol them. When the family went to church and tied the horses up, we wouldcome out to find they had mn off home. Sometimes they would mn past thefarmers' homes and I would have to tum around and go back to get their milk.Some times some of the cans of milk would get spilled as they ran around comers sofast. No matter what I did I couldn't get them to behave. I put wire on the bridlesacross their noses thinking that when I pulled on the reins it would hurt and they

" would stop. This didn't work, even though it cut into their noses. They kept

Page 18: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

running. One thing about it, I was always the first milkman there and back homeagain. I always managed to get the milk hauled and be home in time to go to pchurch and, on Christmas in time for the kids to open presents. |

In our early married life, we went places in the buggy. In the winter we would use ryblankets and heated rocks or irons to keep us warm.

We had a lot of expenses in our lives. We built our new home in 1941, and in 1945we built a nice big bam to house our dairy herd. On a farm there was always manythings to fix, replace, or add, to help with the work. We had a lot of doctor bills.The children had tonsils and appendixes out. Tressa had eight major operations Hbesides other sickness. She had pneumonia when she was young and it left herlungs weak, so she had it several times in her life. She was always cheerful throughthem all.

I was ordained a deacon 4 May 1913 by James H. Lake. On 20 September 1925 I wasordained a High Priest by Orsen F. Whitney. My first real activity in the church was Twhen I was made counselor to Joseph 1. Hart, President of YMMIA (Young MensMutual Improvement Association) in 1924. I had picked up the bad habits ofsmoking and drink as most of the young men did then. I decided if I was going to Pwork in the church I had better shape up. So, I did. In 1925 I was made secondcounselor to Bishop Roswell R. Dana, I was in this position until 1939 when wewere released. (Almost fifteen years.) I was then a counselor in the Stake Sunday ^School to L.H. Haderlie, my half brother, for about three years as I remember it. Iwas president ofthe YMMIA from 1945 to 1947. When Iwas released on 2 February p1947 I was sustciined as Bishop of the Thayne Ward. I was ordained and set apartby Stephen L. Richards on the 8th day of March 1947. I was Bishop for eight years.

In May 1950, we started to build a new church house and recreation hall with me,the Bishop, as the contractor. I made several trips to Salt Lake City to talk to theChurch building committee. Our membership was such that it only warrantedbuilding a building half the size that I was impressed would be necessary. TheChurch approved the smaller building. We, however, continued to build the largerbuilding. We had many trials building this building, but it turned out to be a very pfine church house. We had lots of fund rsiisers and did a lot of the work ourselves.Wewere able to pay our share, and the membership grew and the larger building wastruly needed. Apostie Legrand Richards came and dedicated it. He came to our ^house to eat dirmer that day. Ttessa was nervous that everything be Just so in ourhome and for the meal. She worked really hard on the meal. When we were aboutfinished eating she gave a big gasp, and said one of the salads she had made was nstill in the fiidge. She went and got it. Bro. Richards graciously had some andcommented on its delicious taste. (It was a firuit salad with whipped cream.)

p.

Other positions I have held in the church are: teacher in MIA, Sunday Schoolteacher, Ward Teacher, High Priest group leader, primary Guide Patrol Leader andGenealogy Chairman. In 1958 my wife and I fulfilled a two year stake mission. We ^really enjoyed this and made many new firiends.

Tve had many experiences in my life that have strengthened my faith in our ^10

Heavenly Father. I know that prayers are answered.

On Decoration Day 1918 when I was about nineteen years old, I was chasing acritter on a roan horse when the horse stepped into a post hole that had grassgrown over it. The horse fell and rolled over landing by a willow bush. My spurscaught in the cinch of the saddle on the upward side of the horse. My other leg wasunder the horse, and she had her back against a willow bush. The horse's feet wereright by my head. She would have killed me if she'd started kicking, but she heldvery still. I remembered my mother's teachings on prayer, so I prayed to myHeavenly Father. Something told me to hit the horse over the head with the reins.I did. She gave a big lunge. I was thrown clear. I landed about a rod away fromher. The horse was still in the same place on her back sis before. I had to go gethelp to get her up. I was not hurt and thanked the Lord for delivering me.

When I was about twenty we were haying, using a derrick. It was a tall pole like atelephone pole steadied or held upright by braces and guy wires. It had a long polefastened to it part way up by cables and pulleys so it could be lowered and raisedand pulled around to lift the hay from the hay racks in nets or a big fork called aJackson Fork. I was up on the frame to put the new pole in place. I was holdingthe chain to tie around the pole. The pulley broke that was holding the cable. Myaim was right under the cable that held the pole. The cable came across my arm bymy wrist with all the weight on it. I didn't know how to get my arm out from underthe cable, so I hollered for them to let it down. I don't know how it kept from takingmy arm off as that metal cable slid across my arm the whole way until the fork wasdown. When it was down and my hand came out, blood shot aH over the derrick.My brother Charles grabbed a dish towel off the clothes line and tied it around myarm and put his knee against my arm and tied it as tight as he could. Then they gotthe car out and we started to Afton. We got over Just past Thayne and had a flattire. While they were trying to fix it, I walked to Mrs. Elize Roberts. She was themidwife/doctor. She finally decided to do something for me. (It always depended onthe mood she was in when or if she would help you.) I was in such pain I thoughtmy hand was as big as a barrel. It took some time to stop the bleeding. I'm sure itwas a miracle I didn't lose that hand.

About 1925 -- in September, about 100 yards from the place the roan horse fell withme, I was going after the horses to go bind grain. It was after a rainstorm. I wasloping along when the horse I was riding lost her footing and fell and landed on myfoot. It broke the bones in my ankle. I caught the horse, rounded up the otherhorses, and went to bind grain. My foot swelled, so I unlaced my shoes, tied up thehorses and went to Mrs. Roberts. She Just bound the foot up. About two weekslater, at Stake Conference, (the same conference when I was set apart as a counselorin the Bishopric to R.R. Dana, by Elder Orson F. Whitney) an unusual thinghappened. Brother Whitney asked me about my foot, then he put his hand on myshoulder and said, **Giod bless you, my boy." From then on my foot was well. Ithrew away my crutches and wasn't bothered by it again. I have to stop and thinkhard to remember which foot it was. (So which one was it? He didn't say.)

In the spring of 1933 when my wife was sick and was up staying with her mother, Iwas rounding up cattle to take on the range. I was riding a horse that was blind in

11

one eye. I was chasing a critter and he ran into it on his blind side. The horsestumbled and fell, rolling over me. The saddle went right over my chest and pulledall my muscles loose. My head hit the ground and knocked me out. ClintJasperson and AlfWalton were there. When I came to they were working on me. Iheard one of them say, "He's dead." Then I woke and said. "Don't tell my wife."Then I passed out again. I had skinned the whole side of my face and was bleedingfrom nose, mouth and eyes. I suffered a crushed chest and torn ligaments butsurvived this ordeal, too.

Another incident that proved to me the power of prayer is a fishing accident we had.It was in May when K had come home for a furlough from the Arniy. Ralph, K,Milton, and I went up the river and put in a boat and came down fishing. Motherand the girls were going to meet us down in our pasture by the river where we wouldhave lunch. When we got to the Thayne bridge on the Salt River, we hit the bridge.Ralph jumped out of the boat and onto the bridge. This toppled the boat over. Kand Ralph got out. I was standing in the river holding onto the boat. Ralphhollered to get Milton. I couldn't find him anywhere. I saw his hat floating downthe river and kept after it. The water was quite muddy so I couldn't see under thewater very far. Finally something said to turn the boat over. I did and there MUtonwas hanging under one of the seats like a leach. He said eveiy time he tried toholler, water got in his mouth. He tried to kick the bottom of the boat but thewater would hold his legs from kicking hard. At the same time this was happening,Ttessa, down in the pasture waiting, sensed something was wrong. She got the girlsand they knelt by a fsdlen tree to pray.

In about 1947 my neighbor Max Larsen and I were going to Montpelier, Idaho. Itwas in the spring when the banks of snow were high and the roads full of ruts.About halfway there the car bounced out of the ruts and hit the bank and rolledover. It almost demolished the car. The top was caved in. it looked like a sunkenbath tub. The windows were broken out. Max thought that because the seatcushion was on him that the whole car was and that he was paralyzed. He kepthollering for me to turn the car off and get it off of him. When I took the seat off ofhim he got up and was okay. At home about this same time Tressa was painting thefront door. She sensed something was wrong, and retreated to the bedroom to pray.She had such great faith in prayer. We got the car turned back upright and droveon home.

In July (1960 or 1961), I was putting the plow on the tractor to plow some gardenplots for Ttessa. My hand slipped and cut a deepgash in the base ofmy index fingeron my right hand, my hunting trigger finger and my fishing finger. It cut the tendonso badly that I couldn't move my finger. It took two doctors two hours to find andreattach the tendon and sew it up. I had to wear a cast on my hand for a month.It is still stiff and I can't use it. When it is cold it really hurts.

I have had a lot of close calls in my life. One of these da)^ I won't get ofiF so easy.In the fall of 1963, while hunting up Grays River, somebody shot at me twice. Iguess they just don't have a place up above for me. It sure has proved to me there ispower in prayer.

The saddest and worst day of my life, was 14 February 1963 when my beloved wife ofthirty-seven years passed away in the L.D.S. Hospital, in Salt Lake City, of acerebral hemorrhage. She had been in the hospital for a month. She suffered astroke a couple of days before her death. I have had to adjust and try living withouther, which has been very hard. With the help of my children and friends I amcontinuing on. I go and visit my children often and they come to see me. When Iget bored at home I just get my suitcase, get in my truck, and go to one of theirplaces.

On 21 June 1964 I departed from Salt Lake City to West Virginia to serve a sixmonths' mission. Elder John Terry was my companion. We worked with the hillpeople. I made many new friends and enjoyed missionary work. My companion hadsome odd ways so we didn't always see eye to eye, but then I guess he thought someof the things I did were odd, too.

I like to read and have read a lot of books. I have read many church books, alongwith the standard works. My children and Mends give me new books each year. Ihave enjoyed good poetry books, too. I have memorized a lot of my favorite poemsand scriptures. I have alwaj^ been a firm believer in the Church, have a strongtestimony, and have received many blessings from my work in it. I have performedmany marriages, talked at a lot of funerals and numerous times in church meetings.I have done a lot of temple work for the dead. I have been in several of the temples:Logan, Salt Lake, Idaho Falls, Manti, California, Arizona, Ogden, Canadian, St.George. I have done sealings, baptisms, washings, and worked at the veil.

You might say my favorite hobbies are hunting and fishing, which I have done a lotof. As a youth I enjoyed these things and it has stayed with me all my life. I havehad a lot of fun and experiences while hunting and fishing. Delbert Wright andAvon VcUiNoy have been my fishing companions for a lot of years. We all later onowned boats and would go down the rivers fishing. We would take dudes down theriver, too. In 1971 I went with Avon VanNoy, his wife Vemessa and a friend. HazelGunderson up to Washington to do big sea fishing. We really had fun catchingthose big fish. I was luclqr enough to catch the first and biggest fish. We were goneabout two weeks. We had some of our salmon canned and the rest smoked. Thelast few years I have helped my son Ralph take dudes from California hunting. Wehave had some good times together. One of the dudes keeps writing poems aboutme. They all think a lot of Ralph and keep coming back every year. I don't get asmuch fishing in as I would like to. Seems I'm always rowing the boat.

I have enjoyed some of the modem conveniences in my later life. I bought me amovie camera in 1959. I have really enjoyed taking pictures and showing them tomy family and friends. This way they could see the hunting and fishing tales.(Sometimes a lot of my hand - until I learned how to use it.) I bought me a SkiDoo, which has taken me many places and given me much pleasure. I've beenstuck, thrown off", ditched, tipped over and almost scalped by a tree while on it. butit has been fim. My grandchUdren have enjoyed it also when they come to visit. Ireceived a Polaroid camera for Christmas 1971. It took me a while and a few wastedfilms to finally get it working right. It is fun to see the picture you have just taken afew seconds later.

I haven't taken many vacations or trips in my life. When K was in his teens he andI went with my brother Charles and his son Junior to Chicago to bring some trucksback for him. I took my family to Yellowstone a couple of times. When K wasreleased from his mission in Montana, Tressa and I went with R.R. and Carrie Danato get him. When Sybil was released in Oregon/ Washington. Tressa, VaLoy,Milton, Marilyn, and I went to get her. We also went to Vancouver Island in BritishColumbia. When Milton was released, Tressa and I went to New Mexico to get him.Tressa and I went with Delbert and Chloe Wright to Arizona and California. Wevisited friends and relatives along the way. Mostly my travels have consisted ofgoing to my children's homes in Utah. Montana, and California. I went to Californiain 1970 with VaLoy and family. We went to Tule Lake to visit Milton, to Napa to seeFrank and Blanch (my sister) Sibbett. to Anaheim to see Leo (my brother) andThelma Haderlie and to go to Disneyland. I have traveled mostly by CcU* but I haveridden on a ship, train, and plane too. Each time I have ridden in a plane I havegotten sick and was glad to get back to earth.

At the present I am enj03ang good health. I have had some teeth pulled, but Ihaven't had any cavities filled. I have always had good teeth. I'm still active inchurch work and still able to drive and get around where I want to go. I enjoytraveling and visiting my family. I help my son Ralph when I can on the farm, Iown some pigs and I raise chickens in the stunmer to eat. I enjoy giving meat to mychildren to help them out. I clean the house when it gets too dirty, but not oftenenough to suit some of my daughters. They come up every so often to clean housefor me. My daughter-in-law Shirley helps me a lot, too. You couldn't ask for anybetter. Ralph, Shirley and children have been a great help to me since Tressapassed away. They have fed me, done my wash, cut my hair, checked on me, visitedme, and tried to keep track of my comings and goings.

In 1970, I started having trouble with my throat. It hurt to swallow and I had to becareftil how I ate. It gradually got so bad that one time when I was driving thetractor into the shed I passed out. The tractor hit the door and couldn't go anyfurther. My grandson, Richard, saw me and hollered for his dad, saying, "Grandpa'sdead." I was only out a few minutes. I went down to Ogden to my daughter VaLoy's.I took a drink to take a pill and passed out again. They put me in the Saint f--Benedict's Hospital to find out what was wrong. Dr. William R. Schmidt was mydoctor. I stayed there for a few days and was examined for many things. It wasfound to be a nerve in my throat. I had to take some pills. It gradually got better. Ihaven't been bothered by it for quite a while now. This was the first time I had evenbeen in the hospital.

On 19 February 1974, I was going home after spending some time with my childrenin Utah. I ran into a train at Wellsville, Utah. I was taken to the hospital inLogan, Utah, where I was treated for a broken left arm, cuts on my legs and eye, and ^bruises. My right arm swelled to almost three times its size and was very painful.On the second day I lost a lot of blood and had to be given eight pints. Mydaughter, VaLoy, stayed with me the first night and had quite a time keeping mequiet and in bed. I stayed in the hospital for ten days and then went to VaLoy's tomend. It was a snowy, slick day when they picked me up. We had to have someonepull us up one of the hills on the way home. I don't remember any part of the

accident or how it happened. I must have blacked out. The train lost a lot of oilwhere I hit it. I demoUshed my faithful old truck and felt very sad about it. When Iwas well enough to go home I bought a brown car for my transportation. It reallygot good gas mileage.

Saturday, 10 January 1976, I married Alta K. McCombs (Tressa's younger sister) inthe Salt Lake Temple for time only. I had gone with her off and on the past fewyears. We all went to her son Gordon's for lunch after the ceremony. Afterspending a short honeymoon in Arizona, and St. George, Utah, we returned to myhome in Thayne to live. Alta soon brought new meaning to my life and the woman'stouch to my home. I had been so lonely since Tressa's death. Now the trips toUtah, Montana, Idaho, and other places weren't so long and lonely.

On our way to Utah on 26 Februaiy 1976,1 blacked out. We ran off the road, up anembankment and rolled over. A man came along and took us to the hospit^ inMontpelier, Idaho. We both had broken ribs, bruises and bumps. Alta had cuts onher hand, a black eye, and whiplash in her neck. She also hurt one knee. She wentto her daughter Dixie's place to recuperate. Vernal and VaLoy checked me into theUniversity Hospital in Salt Lake City. They ran some more tests on me to see why Iblacked out. On March 12,1 was operated on for a closed artery in my neck. I wasin the recovery room, when rny incision started to bleed and my blood pressure wentup. They had to take me back gind sew up some small veins that had broken. It wasafter 5 P.M. before I got to my room. Sybil had been there all day. VaLoy andMarilyn came up at night. VaLoy stayed the night with me. On the 17th I went toVaLo/s. I also stayed at Marilyn's one week-end before they operated on me.

Alta and I returned to our home March 27th. We were still a little stiff and sore.

Vernal and VaLoy followed to make sure we got home. We ran into some badweather again in Brigham City Canyon.

April 14 brought another problem. I had some kind of a seizure. I was taken backto the Salt Lake Hospital where I was given medication so I was able to keep theseizures under control. I spent a few more days at Mariljm's. What trouble andworries I've been to my new wife. I demolished our car again. This time they toldme no more driving. That's been a hard thing to get used to. We bought us a newyellow car and now Alta drives us wherever we go.

In 1977 Alta and I flew with K to Washington. He had to attend some meetingsthere. Alta and I rented a car and drove down to West Virginia to the place I was onmy mission. I enjoyed seeing the people I had known there and they all rememberedme. I got lost in the airport terminal at St. Lewis, but other than that we had awonderful trip. I'm not scared to fly any more.

The winter of 1976-77, Alta and I rented an apartment near the Idaho Falls Templeand did temple work all winter. We did the same at the St. Geor^ Temple thewinter of 1977-78. It was warm and beautiful there. I could walk to the temple anytime I wanted. Alta's knee that was hurt in the accident started to bother her. Shehad it operated on while we were there. She couldn't go to the temple for weeks, so Iwent alone. There were several people from Star Valley down there. My sister

15

Wanda Call stayed most of the winter. While down there we went to Nevada to seemy sister Delia Dubach.

OLIVER - ByAltaHaderUe

He is a big man.A creature of the sod.

Respected by his fellow men.On friendly terms with God.

On his ranch he Weints to live

To finish out his days.Enjoying his familyAnd their homespun ways.

His gray hair refects the passingOf his 78 worked years.His own teeth he proudly claimsAnd the good hearing of his ears.

He admits to wearing glassesBut that's the size of it.

Other false creations

He won't tolerate a bit.

Now the children have taken over

Most of his well-loved chores.It's hard on him to see no needFor his labor out of doors.

But he still goes fishingAnd cooks a tasty dish.He helps his wife around the house.Helps at her slightest wish.

Fm sure his God is pleased with him;With God's goodness his heart is lined.Although his talk is loud and roughHis spirit's gentle and refined.

I Follow A Noble Father - Author Unknown

I follow a noble father. His honor is mine to wear.He gave me a name that was free from shame.

A name he was proud to bear.He lived in the morning sunlight and marched

In the ranks of right.He was always true to the best he knew, and

The shield that he wore was bright.

I foUow a noble father and never a day goes byBut I feel that he looks down on me

To cany his standard high.He stood to the sternest trials, as a brave man can;

Though the way be long. I must never wrongThe name of so good a man.

I follow a noble father, not known to the printed page.Nor written down in the world's renown

As a prince of his little age.Never a stain attached to him. and never he stooped

to shame;He was bold and brave, and to me he gave

The pride of an honest name.

I follow a noble father, and him I must keep in mind.Though his form is gone. I must cany on

The name that he lefl; behind.It was mine on the day he gave it;

It shone as a monarch's crown; and as fair to seeAs it came to me.

It must be. when I put it down.

OLIVER R. HADERLIES' LAST WEEK, FROM ALTA HADERLIE'S JOURNAL

May 29The official Decoration Day today in Star Valley. We went to the Freedom, Thayne and Auburn cemeteries, thenhome. We saw lots of old friends and relatives. Oliver spent the rest of the day resting.(Several of his children hadbeen here the weekend before.)

May 30Today postage stamps raise from 13 to 15 cents each. This morning there was snow on the ground again. It stayedtill almost noon. We had lunch at a cafe in Afton.

May 31Randy Haderlie trimmed the pines for Oliver today. He's been wanting to get them trimmed for quite a while, so wasreally happy when Randy started to work. We visited with the Frank Roberts family yesterday. We gave Neil a $30donation for his mission. Frank and Blanch came over and visited. We enjoyed it.

June 1

Ralph's birthday today. This morning a little before 4 A.M. Oliver woke me up with heart pains. I called Ralph andShiriey. Shirley (because it was soon time to milk) got up and drove us to the Star Valley Hospital. They kept himunder sedation all day. Each time he woke up he was in pain again, or still. Ralph called all of his siblings to tell themtheir dad had had a heart attack. K called his father twice. Rick, Randy, Laurie, Ina, and Wanda came to check onhim. They have kept him under sedation all day. When it wears off he has a lot of pan and distress. They won't lethim have company other than me. He can't sit up in bed (against Dr.'s orders). He is on a Ik^uid diet and is being fedintravenously. Raiph and Shirley came to check on Oliver. They will be back again after a meeting he has to go to.Richard came by again. He has to go to Kemmer tomorrow so he said he'd see us the next day. Cliff came in to seeOliver tonight. Carl called today. Oliver doesn't look or feel too good. Ralph and Bp. Gordon White administered tohim.

June 2

Oliver had a rough night again. Lots of pain. They are giving him lots of pain medteine, more often than at first itseems. This moming before eight a.m. Sybil, K, Ralph and Gordon McCooms called. Gordon sakJ my sister Eldawould like to come and help If she could. They took another EKG this moming and verified the fact he had had aheart attack. One artery to the heart is blocked off and the front side of the heart Is damaged. Now the txxly willhave to repair that artery. He still has lots of pain. They have changed the pain shots to morphine, to see if it Is moreeffective. The Dr. took me into another room and told me that his chances of recovery were not good. His pulserate is rapid which is a bad sign for a man that age. He wanted to prepare us for whatever might come. I don't wanthim to linger on here If he is in pain or an invalid or mentally unable to functkxi. I pray that if it is his time he will beable to go peaceably, but something In me hopes that he can stay with us a little longer.K plans to be here sometime today and I think Milton and his family should be back in Star Valley today. They havebeen in Salt Lake since last Sunday and plan to come back this way for the week end.

Oliver has called out "Tressa" twice today in his sleep which has frightened me. Perhaps It is the medicine thatmakes him talk - whteh he hasn't been doing - or else she is here to escort him home.

The Dr. is not letting him exert in any way. They are not changing his bed, bathing or shaving him, not letting him situp or even have a passage. So I guess the chances of another attack are great.

1left around 2 p.m. to go home and get some rest. 1had been here 38 hours and was completely beat. The nursespromised they'd take good care of him. While 1was gone, Medra, Blanch and Cliff came to see him. It was a goodthing 1got back when 1did. (6) The room was all closed up and as hot as an oven. He was soaked with perspiration.His feet were hanging out of the bed all ready to get up: he didn't know what he was doing here, where he was, oranything. The oxygen that shoukl have been in his nose was under his back. I sent and had the nurses help nr^find the oxygen and insisted that he have a back rub. Since he couldn't have the wet bed changed they put a whitesheepskin sheet under him so he would feel dry and comfortable underneath. Then I got the room aired out andcooled off. He is hallucinating for the first time --probably the heat and the sedative -- but 1feel that 1mustn't leavehim again without someone who cares In the room. 1thought K or Milton might be here today, but I guess they

haven't come yet Carl Haderlie came Into see Oliverthis evening and Gladys H. Papworth talked with me in the hall.Everyone is concerned. Carl sakl he talked with Ernest Haderlie. He has something wrong with his throat. His Dr.said he must quit smoking. Carl was afrakJ he, Ernest, may have cancer.

Medra and Ab came back to see Oliver again this evening. We talked in the the car so it wouldn't upset Oliver. Kcame about 9 P.M. His father was glad to see him. He stayed a few minutes then went down to the house to stay.Another shot to ease the pain. He has felt better today, however (or pertiaps it's just this afternoon) not quite somany shots necessary. I think he's going to make it. Since I got back and straightened things out he has been moreluckj again. 10 p.m. Marilyn just called and said she wouki really like to be here with her dad. She is feeling somebetter and doesn't want him to worry about her and wants him to know she loves him. (She has been down in bedwith herniated back discs.) It's been a long. k)ng day. The Dr. dropped in but dkJn't say anything one way or theother.

June 3

Oliver had a real bad night He had 3 mini seizures, one right after another. He had to go to the toilet so bad andcouldn't use the pan so they put him on a portable chair but still he coukln't have a passage. While he was up theychanged his bed and gown. When they got him back in bed he was so exhausted it took him the rest of the nightand morning to get his heart settled back down and able to breathe normally again. He was uncomfbrt^le anddisgusted with things in general, especially all the wires that were attached to him. and me and the Dr. for doing thisto him. He wanted to see that Perks and tell him off. He sakl there was nothing to look at but the same okl things.(There's a spot on the ceilingwhere the paint has chipped off -1 think he had reference to that). He wanted to getup and go to the barn, scokied the nurses for doing this to him. He was so uncomfortable it was pitiful. He justcouldn't breathe. He felt that Ifhe were home his problems woukl be all over with. Poor guy. He really suffered.

When the Dr. came in around 9 he was really disturbed. He tokj me he thought his kklneys had stoppedfunctioning and that that wouW be the end of him. They put a catheter In and got rW of quite a bit of water, thengave medk^atksn (digitalis) to help his heart functbn without so much work. These things relieved him a tot and hebegan to feel better. Then the Dr. toki me that his kkjneys were not as bad as he he^i thought.

Ina came down to stay a whilewith him but he was so bad I felt I shoukj stay with him myself. Wanda came in and Inacame back to check on him. Then Roy came and brou^ ftowers to Oliver and wished him well. Bless their hearts.Cartdropped by on his lunch break. He's goingdownon Monday perhaps to check on Emest. They allwant to helpbut are helpless. Medracalled to see how he was this moming. I'm spending a totof timeon the phone or inthe hallvisiting with relatives. They all need comforting and assurance that he will be better and that there Is nothing heneeds. I do appreciate each one of them.

Oliver got to feeling quite bad again. He just tooks awful. Rtok and Randy came at noon. Neitherone of them sawOliver. After the Regional meeting - about 1:30 or 2, Ralph and Shirley came in again. Bp. White and Dtek Danacame in. After they left I latodown for a couple of hours and slept some. While I was asleep Rtok called back. Matt ^Roberts came and left a note for Oliver.

Milton came about 4 but Oliver dWn't recognize him or me either just then. He Is so thoroughly miserable anddisgusted with his pains and all the tubes he is tied down with and so mixed up in his head, he Is gating toud in hisobjecttons. Theygave him a shot soon after Milton left that helped to quiet him down. He keeps tooking around inthe air, like he's tooking at something or someone. His eyes have a strange glassy stare. Thank goodness he isresting better now. 5 p.m. when the evening chores were done in getting him settled down, 1went and latodown toget a little rest- about 10 p.m. I had only been there a f^ minuteswhen IcoukJ hear that he was restless so Igot upto check on him. He didn't go back to sleep but was thoroughly miser^e. He saU, "You haven't kissed me for awhile." So I kissed him. He continued to hang onto my hand. Soon he became so uncomfortable that he groanedvery toudly, constantly. Yet he woukJ say he was not In pain. Hisbreathing bec^e verylabored. Itwas hard to seehim suffer so.

I soon realized that he probably would not last too much tonger so I called his sons Ralph and Milton to come to bewith him. Shirley came also. They were there about a halfhourwhen he coukln't hang on any tonger. He passedawaysoon after 1 am. (June 4,1978) I'msure Tressa and perhaps others were with him through that ordeal. 1knowhe will be happy to greet them all again in heaven and to be reunited with his toved ones there. He was a good p

husband to me. I don't know what I'll do without him!

(Ralph called VaLoy and Marilyn to tell them their father had passed away. VaLoy called Van K. Marilyn tried to callSybil. Herphone rang and rang but they didn't hear itso itwas morning before she got the news. All of the girls,Sybil, VaLoy and Marilyn, had called the hospital or Ralph at home, to checkon their father at least every day. VaLoyand Marilyn were coming that weekend to stay with him. But as often happens In life, they were regrettably toolate.)

June 4

Sunday - many visitors and well wishers came. Milton, Beth, and family are here. Van K came back to help makearrangements. His son Brad came with him. Medra came and spent the day with me. Dixie called to see ifshe couldcome and stay with me. We bought (or pfcked out) a casket and ctothes for Oliver, also flowers for the casket and abasket of flowers to be put in an oM fishing basket of his with his fishing pole wired to it. (He had always loved tofish.) The casket was made of wood and was reallybeautiful. Milton, Beth and chiklrenare still here with me.

June 6

Had a viewing in the evening. Many friends and relatives attended. Gtordon and RaeDene were there. He stood inthe line with me. Itgave me a lotofcomfort and moral support. Marilyn, Jack, VaLoy, Sybi.l and E5eborah stayed withme all night. K and his family stayed with Blanch.

Funeral for Oliver Romeo HaderlieWednesday 7 June 1978 1 p.m. Thayne Ward LDS Chapel. Thayne. Wyoming.

Second Counselor Dick Dana conducting.Prayer with Family - Van K HaderliePrelude and posdude - Max and Pat HaderlieOpening prayer - Vernal Anderson

Dick Dana - It is a great sight to see all of you hear to show your great love and respect to a great manwho was a patriarch in his home, loved by all who knew him. Our loss is going to be Heavens gain I amsure. We would like to remind the family members to return here to the cultural hall where there will bea meal for them. The program that was printed has been outlined by Uncle Oliver about a year ago. Sothis is entirely his planning for this program. Without any further announcements then, we willproceed as outlined.

Prayer: Vernal AndersonMusical Saw: Raymond Humpheiys "O My Father"

Life Sketch - D Carl Wamock, Jr.One of this valley's most faithful fisherman has gone. Living so close to the Salt River it was easy forhim to slip down there to catch a few fish. Also in the evening he would catch a few fish as he wenttaking his cows to the pasture after milking. His idea of a good time was to take his boat up the riverand spend the day coming down, taking his turn at the oars. He spent many days fishing down the riverwith his sons, or Delbert, or Avon, that Marilyn said she thought it would be most appropriate to havehis funeral down at the river with his casket floating in his boat.

Some of his favorite stories were skunk stories. He always claimed to love the smell of skunk andthought it would be wonderful if he could keep some of that handy when he would like to have a smell.He loved to tell about the time he went to a dance after being sprayed by a skunk. It took the rest of thefolks quite a while to figure out who smelled so terrible because he would run in and ask someone todance, then as soon as the dance was over he would run back outside again. When they finally locatedthe culprit they evicted him and told him they would shoot him if he ever came back again. Anothertime he and Delbert foimd some baby skunks under the shed. Oliver agreed to go under and catch oneof them. When he did and got back to the place where he had gone in, Delbert was to pull him ou.t feetfirst. Instead. Delbert stood on his feet until when he did get out he was not smelling too good. Theytook the little skunk over to town and put it on the counter at the confectloneiy. The clerk nearly diedof filght as that Uttie skunk walked down the counter towards her.

Oliver was bom in Providence. Utah. 15 Aug. 1899. His father was Charles Heniy Haderlie and hismother was Bertha Schiess. Charles* second wife, who was the younger sister of his first wife Bebetta. Atthe time he was bom his father and other men that were practicing polygamy were being arrested. Hisfather dressed in a disguise, went up into Idaho to find work where he could eam some money tosupport his fanndlles without being arrested. He finally decided to move his families to Star VallQr wherethey could live without this persecution. He made a home for Bebetta and her children in Freedom andBertha and her children in Thayne. There he built a sawmill which he and his sons operated.

When Oliver was about 26 he was called to be a counselor to R.R. Dana. Prior to this Oliver had workedwith Joe Hart in the Sunday School Presidency. When Oliver was set apart as a counselor to Bp. Dana,he was told to go get a wife. So he proceeded to do that. He married Tressa Elizabeth Kennington in theLogan Temple on 3 Nov. 1926. When Oliver was a young man he worked with some of his brothers on afami they were homesteadlng. When Oliver got married he and TVessa bought the farm and lived therethe rest of their lives.

Star Valley winters are notorious for being cold. Oliver and Tl^ssa's first child, K. was bom on Dec. 31st.Tressa had been staying for a month at her parents home in Auburn awaiting the birth of her child.Her father phoned Thayne on that cold December night. Oliver's brother got on a horse and traveled the

20

n

Page 29: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

three and a half miles over to Oliver's house to tell him he was needed in Auburn. Oliver got out of bed.in the middle of the night and started for Auburn. Before he even got as far as Tha3nie, he decided hewould have to get down, walk and keep moving or he would freeze to death as it was 40^ below zero thatnight. That had to be one of the longest, coldest hikes he ever had. Six other children were bom to

n Oliver and TVessa after this first son Van K, - Sybil, Ralph K.. VaLoy. Milton K.. Mariljm and Brent K.,their l£ist. who only lived a week.

Oliver was a counselor to Bp. Dana for about 15 years. Then after Bp. Merritt had filled his years as Bp..^ Oliver was asked to be Bp. of the ThayneWard. The Stake President came to see Oliver and found him

at the bam doing his chores. After the Stake President had gone, he came to the house as white as asheet and told TVessa that they wanted him to be Bishop. He had never imagined that such a calling

ii would come to him and he felt very inadequate. But he faithfully preformed his duties for many years asthe Bp. of this ward. During this time he supervised the constmction of this chapel in which we sittoday. He and the men of the ward went to the canyons and cut the trees and hauled the timber to the

^ saw mills and then used it in building the chapel. His wife Tressa, kept the financial records of thechapel building project, and both spent many, many hours until the project was completed.

Later Oliver was called to serve a two year stake mission. Seme of his greatest friendships were thosefostered by this special calling. Tressa was also called to serve a stake mission a few months after hiscall, so for the rest of the time they served as companions. Each Sunday night they would meet at oneof the chapels in the stake with all the other stake missionaries and they would practice the missionary

(-1 discussions, and practice the scriptures they were suppose to have learned during the week. If themonth had a fifth Sunday the stake missionaries would have a party during that week. One time theyeach made Easter bonnets and had an Easter parade. Hiey enjoyed each other and built up acamaraderie in their group.

Oliver's beloved wife Tressa, died on 14 Feb. 1963. Her untimety death was a real shock to him. He wasa long time getting to feel that life was worth living again. He learned to do his own housekeeping.

^ Shiriey and Ralph across the street were really good to do things for him. Others in his family, andmembers in the ward would bring him food occasionally, and he found he could get along. Hie followingyear he was called to serve a six months mission in EUdns West Virginia. After his mission he taught

„ the oldest class of boys in primary for a time. He has been a home teacher all through the years.

Oliver missed his wife so much it was hard for him to content himself in any place for veiy long. Hewould get in his pickup and go to southern Utah to visit his daughter Sybil; VaLoy and Mariljrn alongthe way. Or head north to Montana to see K. Or out to see Milton wherever he happened to be.Through the last 15 years he has made the rounds of his children several times each year. He wouldalways take along a good supply of Swiss cheese and jerky to deliver all along the way to cousins ,

p-i relatives, and especially to his children or grandchildren. For years he would raise pigs, have thembutchered, the meat packaged and give it to his children. He was the most generous and thoughtfulman. It was always his nature to want to have something to give to everyone wherever he went.

^ Oliver married TVessa's widowed sister. Alta McCombs on 10 Jan. 1976 in theSalt Lake Temple. Not longafter their marriage they had a car accident that injured them both seriously. Then Oliver had a seriousoperation in Salt Lake City. Through all of his illnesses Alta falthfiilfy and lovingly cared for him. Hischildren express their love and appreciation to her for the wonderful way she has cared for Oliver and forwelcoming them into their home. There have been some wonderfiil experiences for Oliver and Altaduring this time too. They spent the winter months of 1977 doing temple work in the Idaho Falls

^ Temple, and this past winter they spent in Saint George, Utah doing temple work. They worked at theinfomiatlon booth In Thajrne by the creamery.

Oliver has three grandchildren serving LDS missions at this time and zinother one leaving later this" month. Altahas a grandson on a mission also. Oliver has 31 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren.

Of Oliver's 25 brothers and sisters 15 survive him. His wife Alta and his children will remember him as a

friendly, hard working, early rising, thoughtful, loving man. Last year Aunt Alta wrote this poem about<-• Oliver.

OLIVER - By Alta HaderlieHe is a big manA creature of the sod.

Respected by his fellow men.On friendly terms with God.

On his ranch he wants to Uve

To finish out his days.Enjoying his familyAnd their homespun ways

His gray hair reflects the passingOf his 78 worked years.His own teeth he proudly claims

And the good hearing of his ears.

He admits to wearing glassesBut that's the size of it.

Other false creations

He won't tolerate a bit.

Now the children have taken overMost of his well loved chores.

It's hard on him to see no needFor his labor out of doors.

But he still goes fishingAnd cooks a tasty dish.He helps his wife around the house.Helps at her slightest wish.

I'm sure his God is pleased with him;With God's goodness his heart is linedAlthough his talk is sometimes roughHis spirit's gentle and refined.

There are two things I hope each of us have learned from Grandpa Haderlie, and those of us that are stillyoung and those that aren't so young can still put these two things to practice in our lives. They are thetwo ideals that we need to develop here on this earth. Grandpa developed both of them. The first is atestimony of Jesus Chris; the importance of living the commandments so that we can return as he has.to meet his maker, and be prepared when we get there. The other is to be able to work and earn a livingby the sweat of our brow or thoughts or whatever. He knew how to work and had a testimony of thegospel as I do. I say this in the name ofJesus Christ, Amen.

Speaker - Bp. Joseph Merritt. Brothers and sisters this Is going to be a little difficult for me today. Idon't mind the tears coming but I hope I can control myself to say what I have in my heart today.Occasionally 1 think we meet under these conditions with the thought in mind of giving praise to theone that has departed. But Oliver wouldn't like that word, so I have saved me today by- giving a tributeto him. Bp. Haderlie never did take praise to himself. I think he appreciated though, Mvhen othersappreciated what he did for them. I spent many hours trying to ponder in my mind something thatwould be pleasing to Brother Oliver as he truly is, and has been my brother in the gospel. I havethought of the great blessings that have come to Star Valley because of the Haderlie and Kenningtonfamilies. The Haderlie family came here for the same reason that my grandparents came here. Becausethey were living a law that the Lord had revealed to the Prophet Joseph Smith and that was the law ofpolygamy. Whenever our Father in Heaven has had a great work he wanted his children to preform forhim, he ahvays used this means of ribbing up a righteous people. Those that he knew and trusted andhad proven worthy in their spiritual existence. Hiis great western America, a choice land in all the earthwas prepared for the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Likewise, the Kennington family werestalwarts. Before I leave my thought about the Haderlie family, we all know there ability to build notonly materially, but spiritually. Many of them were outstanding builders materially, and some of themwere outstanding builders spiritualty. The same is true of the Kennington famity. They are of a nobleheritage and a chosen children of our Father in Heaven. I know it because I am quite well acquaintedwith one of the Kennington sisters that married my brother. In her life she has been so devoted incompassionate service to others. We find that characteristic in the Haderlie family also.

Before I go any further I would like to pay a tribute to his wife Alta. I feel that she has fulfilled thewishes of her sister. For Oliver was truly lonely. Maybe we didn't know it as he went about his dallyliving, as he met people, and conversed with them, but he couldn't help but be lonely. We had him in

22

our home a time or two. and have been in his home a dme or two since TVessa's passing. I appreciate" Oliveras a dear firiend. As has been given in Oliver's history, he was fiiU of pranks and he enjoyed them.

I don't know if any of them were injurious to anyone. They were just clean fun that he had. He enjoyedit and his associates with him enjoyed it.

I think Brother Oliver had some outstanding characteristics 2ind I would like to mention some of them.After I was released as Bp. just prior to that, we were planning to build a chapel. We had the landarranged for. We had a permit for the logs in the canyon. We had gone into the canyon and had someof them piled when the change in the Bishopric came. Now I remeniber the first morning over here in thewest hills. As 1 remember we had about 50.000 feet of saw logs over there. Seme of them cut and piled.Others of them yet to be cut. As I was there that first morning he said. "You have done your share. Youdon't have to do this."

And I have worked on the welfare farm along with Oliver. Myron White. Cecil Dana and some of these^ we know that have gone and he has met Tm sure. Some of us would spent quite long hours on the

welfare farm. I remember sever2d times being with Oliver up there and it would be coming dusk. Oliverwould say, Go home, you have done your share." What was Oliver's share? Never until a job wascompleted. He stayed and did more than his share.

f—I

I remember after we got the plans for this chapeL At the time I was made Bp. of this ward we had anaverage of 10% at sacrament meetings. When the architect draws the plans for this chapel, or any other

m chapel in the chvirch, they take the membership and activity of the ward, and decide how large a chapelwill be constructed for that ward. 10% of the ward is not very many and the plans we received to buildfor this chapel would seat 48 people. The building was not started yet. At the time these original plans

^ were drawn up the second World War had begun - 1941. Shortly after that all building materials werefirozen and we weren't able to proceed with the building. But how good I felt when I knew that Bro.Haderlle was going to be our Bp. and carry on what we had started.

Bp. wEisn't satisfied with the building the size that the church wanted us to build. He made several tripsto Salt Lake . He increased the size of it. He still wasn't happy with it. So on his own along with hiscounselors: Bro. Cofi&nan, Bro. Pendelton; Bro. Harold Tltensor the chairman of the building committee,and others associated with it: decided that they would take a chance on building a little larger buildingthan the church had approved, even though the ward would have to pay for it. And they built a largerbuilding. It would have been very nice if they had made it even a little bigger because we have grown

^ now towhere it isn'tlarge enough.

Another characteristic of Oliver was getting things done. He had his way of doing things. If you didn'tagree with him, you had a very difficult time to change his opinion. That was a noble character becausewhen he got the thing finished, it was all right and was the way it should have been. We may have doneit differently, but it wouldn't have been any better than when Bp. Haderlle got through with it.

^ How many ofyou heard him when he had been doing something and there may be a littie problem comeup? He would say, "How would you go ahead with this?" Ahvays go ahead to do something. Not toslide back and wait for someone else to come push you along. How would you go ahead. He would askyour advise and would appreciate it, if you gave it to him.

Bp. Haderlle firmty believed in the scriptures; tried to live them and patterned his life after them as besthe could. In 2 Nephi 26:31 Nephl states that they that live in Zion let them labor in Zion or if they laborfor money they shall perish. That was another one of Bp. Haderlie's mottos. He did labor in Zion. Hedesired a good home and material things for his family which he did do. But he also labored for Zionand tried to carry on the Lord's work. In the Book of Mormon in Jacob 2:18 But before you seek forriches, seek ye first for the kingdom of God. Now there is a lot in those few words of that scripture. Wemay labor as hard as we desire in life for riches of life, but they wiU not buy a place in the kingdom ofGod. We should seek first the kingdom of God. I think Bp. Haderlle in his life and living has done that.

I had another thought in the begirming. I maybe got a little ahead in what I wanted to bring out in this

but, when Elohim and Jehovah created Adam. Elohim said. "Let us put into him his breath of life, thathe may become a living sole." Bro. Haderlie was created in the image of God. He has been among us andlived with us. "Hiis is his earthly body we know. Adam, the scriptures tell us. was made out of the dustof the earth. That is the same for our bodies and for Bp. Haderlie's body. But this body lays before us.but the spirit that God has created for this body has gone on. And that spirit the other night met thespirit of his lovely wife and his friends that he loved dearly. I remember after Ttessa's passing. Sis. Merrittand I went over to his home late in the evening. Oliver was standing next to the casket and these are hiswords. "Isn't she beautiful? She is so beautiful." And she was beautiful. TVessa's been in the spiritworld for a number of years and she has progressed and grown in beauty and understanding. When Bp.Hciderlie met her the other night, 1 am sure she was still more beautiful to him than when she left himon this earth.

Now in Alma, the prophet Alma writes; Now concerning the state of the sole between death and theresurrection, behold it has been made known to me by an angel that the spirits of all men as soon asthey are departed from this mortal body, yea the spirits of aU men whether they be good or evil are takenhome to that God who gave them life. And then shall it come to pass that the spirits of those that arerighteous are received into a state of happiness which is called paradise, a state of rest, a state of peacewhere they shall rest from all their troubles and all their cares and sorrows. I feel that Sis. Haderlie andBro. Haderlie are in that state of paradise. In the B of M again in Alma 11:40 " The spirit and the bodyshall be reunited again unto its perfect form, both limb and Joint shall be restored to its proper frame.Even as we now are at this time you shall be brought to stand before God knowing even as we knownow, and have a bright recollection of all our guilt. Now this restoration shall come to all. both old andyoung, both bond and fr^e. both male and female, both the wicked and the righteous, and even thereshall not be a hair of their head lost, everything shall be restored to its proper frame. Now that is thething that we all hope for is this restoration.

Now in the Old Testament the prophet Isaiah speaks of the spirit world. He tells of a place of paradiseand of prison. Now our Father in Heaven has a different prospective of us than we have of ourselves.When God makes a decision he must consider all his children. Those v^o have lived on the earth and

have passed on. those that live on the earth now. and those spirits yet to be bom. When God makes adecision he must consider what has happened in the past, vdiat is happening in the present, what isgoing to happen in the future. When the ideas of men dififer from the ideas of God it is usually becauseman is viewing things frxm a selfish or a limited prospective of the present. How grateful I am that fiiomthe beginning of time, God has spoken to his children through prophets frxjm the time of Adam down toour present time. At the head of each of these dispensations has been a prophet that has held the holypriesthood of God and he has taught us through these prophets and I have a testimony of this that anytime God has something important for any of his children, he is going to speak through his prophets.That is how we get the scriptures. These great men of the B of M were the prophets of God, and theywrote down inspiration and revelation as it came to them. Sometimes revelation came by vision andsometimes by dreams, or the voice of the Lord or sometimes an angel. These are all revelations andtruths that came from our Father in Heaven. In the beginning God created Adam and Eve. He gave Eveto Adam to be his helpmate. That was the first eternal marriage on this earth. All marriages are meantto be prefonned by the holy priesthood of God. But as time went on men took to themselves authority ofsocial affairs, and took upon them the authority to many for time and eternity.

I have a few thoughts today I would like to mention pertaining to this eternal marriage. Tlie prophet ^Joseph Smith says those who are not married by the authority of the hoty priesthood by one that I haveappointed on earth, when death comes they are separated and there will be no marriage in heaven or inthe hereafter. This is an earthly ordinance. The prophet mentioned also that we have a probationary ^period to do this and if it isn't done in this probationary period we would have no claim on our children£ind our children on us, as their parents. I would think quite frequent of the parents not having theirchildren. Don't you think that your children want you? And when we break the vows of this eternalmarriage, we can loose those children and th^ can lose us. Hiis is in the great plan of our Father inHeaven. He had a great purpose. He did consider those that had been on the earth before we camehere, the circumstances under v^ch they did live. He considers us here now. He is going to considerthose spirits who are going to take bodies and come to this earth in the future. This plan is fear all of us.

In the vision of Nephi in the B of M. he speaks of a river. He speaks of the water as being muddy. It wasmade known to him that this muddy water was the depths of sin. of heU. He knew that some of his ownfamily was not living the gospel as his father Lehi had taught them. He saw in this vision a great gulfbetween those two groups in paradise and prison. When the Savior was crucified, the three days thathis body lay in the tomb, Peter tells us. he went to the prison world and taught the gospel to the peoplethere in the prison world that were wicked during the time of Noah. Peter said. "Why were they taughtthe gospel?" So that they could be judged according to men in the flesh but live according to men in thespirit.

Now I feel very strongly that Bp. Haderlie and Sis. Haderlie. Ttessa. have been called on the other side tobe a blessing to those that have not head the gospel. They can help teach and preach to them.

Now. to the Oliver Haderlie and TVessa Haderlie family, they are great individuals. I have had a lot ofassociation with K. and Sybil has been in our home a lot when she was younger. We appreciate themso much. I hope K and you other young boys that were in the Aronic Priesthood together when I was inBp., will appreciate yotu- association with each other as I enjoyed my association with you. Severaltimes we went on camping trips and I never had been treated better by my own kin. than I was by the^young men. I know they have the courage and strength to live on, and keep on living as their father andmother has taught them. Henry Ward Becher said a cobweb is as good as a mighty cable vdien there isno strain on it. It is trial that proves the thing weak and another strong. So it is the trials that cometo us that do that. James E. Talmage. an apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ said this. " No pain that issuffered by man or women upon the earth will be without compensating effect if they are met withpatience. How patient Bp. Haderlie was with the trials in his life. I think the members of the this wardcan still hear Bp. Haderlie's words and I desire to read two hymns. (Words from "Have I Done Any Goodin the World Today?" and "God Bless Our Mountain Home.")

I have a testimony my brothers and sisters of the gospel of Jesus Christ and of the plan of salvation. Itis true. The more I put forth an effort to live the gospel, study the scriptures and try to understand itbetter, the more I am thrilled with it. I pray that the Lord's blessings will be with the Haderlie familybecause they are near and dear to me and I do this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Song -" These Hands" sung by Elaine Dana

These hands ain't the hands of a gentleman. These hands are callused and old. These hands raised afanoily, these hands raised a home. Now these hands raise to praise the Lord. These hands won theheart of my loved one, and with hers they were never alone. If these hands filled their task, now whatmore could one ask, for these fingers had worked to the bone. Now don't tiy to judge me by what you'dlike to be, for my life ain't been much success. Now some people have power but still they have greed,while these hands brought me happiness. Now Tm tired, and I'm old, and I ain't got much gold. Maybethings ain't been all that I planned. God above hear my plesu when it's time to Judge me, take a look atthese hard working hands.

Speaker - Bp. Harold Bateman Dear Alta, members of the family, brothers and sisters, it is my privilegeto respond to this request. I deem it an honor and am grateiiil to the family members who have invitedme to participate. Grandma Ullie was a sister to Oliver. I know I miss: Uncle Oliver, Oliver Haderlie, andusually it was Bp. Haderlie. I have certainly enjoyed the relationships and associations with this family.I inquired as some suggestions ofthings that mij^t be mentioned and have made a few notes. I wishthat all those that would have liked to say something would have the chance. I will list just a few of thethings. One of the brothers said there is an incident he would like to relate but it was to long andinvolved several members of the family. One of the sisters mentioned that while he was Bp. a lot of thetime the roads were bad and people couldn't get to church and they were stuck, he would cheerfullyhook up his horses and patiently get the families to church. Also the consideration and love that hehad for his present wife and also of course this works the other way around. He was a man of churchand community. A neighbor mentioned that he was good natured, cheerfiil, always there. Anotherneighbor mentioned that after 40 years of living by him there had been no problems and related an

25

y

incident of consideration for his wife when they were chasing cattle. The horse fell on a lope, theneighbor gathered him up. When he came to. he said. "Please don't tell my wife so she will worry aboutme." Alta mentioned as did the children that we sure love him and Indicated that he taught by examplein all phases of living, seven days a week.

1 first remember the famity while in high school. Ralph and I were in the same class together euidexchanged some mischief I expect. Afler hearing the skunk incident 1am not surprised. I next rememberthe building of this chapel, because in a neighboring community of Bedford we were undergoing a similarprogram and the two wards sharing boundaries, had several things in common including the problemsof construction at that time and so forth. It was quite an important event in our lives. I also had anopportunity to cross paths again with Bp. Oliver and his wife in the stake mission and certainly enjoyedhis spirit there and his devotion. As was mentioned he was a famous fisherman and he was also afisher of men. He enjoyed his callings in the church and foUowed the admonition the Lord gave us as isfound in the scriptures that we should be anxiously engaged in a good cause. As I have worked withhim and someone would make a mistake or something would go wrong he would say. "Well, what in theworld have we done now?** In this and in other ways he displayed his humor and always in good tasteand in the spirit of the gospel. He had a strong testimony and I would like to add my witness to it of thedivinity ofJesus Christ and to the truthfulness ofhis gospel and to the reality ofa ^orious resurrectionthat is made possible by our Savior and Redeemer. Our Savior taught us of the judgment and it isrecorded in the 25th chapter of Matt. I would like to read it briefly,

31 - When the Son of Man shall come in His glory and all the holy angels with him, then shall He situpon the throne of His glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate themone fi-om another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep firom the goats: And he shall set the sheep on hisright hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say into them on his right hand, Come, yeblessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you fix»m the foundation of the world: For I wasan hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took mein: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Thenshall the righteous euiswer him, saying. Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or thirsty,and gave thee drink? when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Orwhen saw we thee sick, or in prison,, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say untothem. Verity I say unto you. Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, yehave done it unto me.

Oliver certainly did "Do unto others," in these respects and much more. And by so doing unto the Lordwho has told us that His work and His glory is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.Bp. Oliver did add to this glory of the Lord, through his work. This ought to be our work in this life, tobring to pass glory for the Lord and help build his kingdom. I pray that we will be able to do this withthe spirit and the example that Bro. Oliver Haderlie has set for us, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Remarks - Bp. Gordon White Sister Alta and members of the Haderlie famity, it is certainly a privilegeand honor to share this time with you. As Bp. Bateman mentioned, I also have been approached bypeople who have had things that they would have liked to have said and I wonder as Bp. Haderlie drewup the program, what he would have liked us to say and do this day. One man, that is a brother to Bp.Haderlie, caught me outside the building and said, " You see, that building? That's a monument to Bp.Haderlie. A few weeks ago I had opportunity to visit with Brother Harold Titensor m^o served faithfultyas building chairman ^xMe Bp. Haderlie worked diligentty to build this building as Bp. He said youdidn't push Bp. Haderlie around. He would say, "This is what we have got to do. Lets get at it."

I remember Jsin. 7, 1972 when my own father passed away, Bp. Haderlie stood here at the pulpit as aspeaker. And he, referring to my own association with my father and the farming business, said,"Gordon, you are going to miss your father." And of course he was right. But it didn't stop with thatwith Bp. Haderlie. My father passed away in the winter and the next spring when it came cropping time.Bp. H^erlle was there and he wason a tractor firom eaity till late. I remember he would come in late inthe afternoon many days in a row and he would be all covered with dust. This was his way of filling thevoid left by my own father. And in many ways he was sort oi like a father, I guess, to me. I remember

26

Page 35: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

many years ago he used to laugh at my father because he couldn't keep up with him in throwing bales ofhay around or something. I guess Bp. Haderlie was 48 at that time, because that figure has stuck in mymind. My father says. ** Well if I was a young man like that, only 48.1 could do better myself."

I remember when we were in high school and going around as firiends and Milton was one of my Mends.We would kick around with Ned Hart. Bryce Jasperson. Paul Hokenson and some of those. I rememberonce that Biyce said. " Wherever Milton goes, he isn't influenced by the crowd. He sets his ownstandards and determines what he will do himself."

I mention back in 1972 when we were called into the bishop brick. I don't know if I was inspired but Ihad Brother Ralph Haderlie picked for the Bishop. Since I was wrong, I picked him for my firstcounselor. I testify to you that he has certainly been an excellent, straight forward first counselor. Attimes when we visit concerning a recommend interview and it says do you support the local leaders ofthe church. He said. ** Well sometimes 1 argue with the Bishop but other than that I do." It's kind of acoincidental thing here in our own bishopick. I lost my own father in 1972, and since the time we werecalled into the bishopick. Brother Ron Ericson's father has died. He is our ward clerk. Brother RichardDana's father, Cecil, has passed away. Bro. Leland Skinner's father has gone on, he is our ward clerk.,and now Bp. Haderlie. I suppose they are all up there watching to see if we do it right down here on thisside.

Bp. Haderlie was our home teacher, along with Owen Hokenson. at the time of his death. Weappreciated him in that capacity. Not often do children request opportunity to attend fiinerals, but inthis case, several of our children did. And they appreciated him also. I had to smile v^en, after Bp.Haderlie had been a widower for several years, he came to me one day with a kind of mischievous lookon his face, and that little twinkle in his eye. He said, " Bp. Tm thinking of getting married again. Whatdo you think about that?" I thought it would be fine. Well we thought it would be and we should havedone it many years ago. Sister Alta, it has been mentioned before and the family has mentioned to methat they have loved you and appreciate you veiy much for the part you have played in Bp. Haderlie's life.

Bp. Haderlie and Alta were ready to fulfill a mission and had a great desire to go. but Bp. Haderlie'shealth just would not permit it at the time. Now his body is not hindering him and I am sure he is goingright to work as he always has in the past.

I have a testimony of the truthfulness of the gospel, brothers and sisters, and my life has been enrichedby association with the Haderlie family as I consider each of them. Hiey, to the best of my knowledge areall solid, upright: and strong and faithful. I know they were taught this by their parents, nils testimonyand these remarks I leave with you in the name ofJesus Christ, Amen.

Song "Going Home" by LouDema Coffinan Barnes Going home, going home Tm a going home. Quietlike, some still day, Tmjust going home. It's not far, just close by. through an open door. Work all done,care laid by. going to fear no more. Mother's there, expecting me. Father's waiting too. Lots of folk,gather there, all the firiends I knew. All the fi:lends I knew. Home, Home, Tm going home. Nothing'slost, all's gained. No more finet nor pain, no more stumbling on the way, no more longing for the day,going to roam no more. Morning star lights the way, restless dream all done. Shadows gone, break ofday. real life just begun. There's no break, ain't no end. just a living on, wide awake with this smilegoing on and on. Going home. Going home. Tmjust going home. It's not far, just close by, through anopen door. Tm just going home. Going home.

FroMom' in Wyom ing*

By MICHAEL MILLARDFREEDOM - Most small Wyoming towns are rich in histor>' andhave a story to tell.

Surely one of the most interesting is Freedom on the Wyoming -Idaho twrder. Like many obscure dots on the map from Idahodovv-n throu2h Wyoming and Utah into Arizona. Freedom wassettled by members of the Church ofJesusChrist ofthe Latter-DaySaints, better known as the Mormans.

MerleiSwede) Robinson, 64. a slender, sinewymanstandingwellover six feet tall, is a Freedom resident who remembers the laterstages of the areas settlement and has for years chronicled StarValley's history.

S'vede has just come in and unbundled himself from the weather.His face is red and windburned, his hair nearly vvhite. His light-blueeyesare thesort that seemtocrackle with energy.

Freedom's population holds steady at just over 100, but empty

buildings evidence a once thriving community that drifted to^(populous.Afton or folded during the Depression.

"You know how Freedom got its name?," Swede asked. ' "cthe polygamists from down in Utah started getting up in tlcountr>' to get away from the law, back around the 18yo"s ar^tfirst of the 1900's. They were already polygamists and th-moved up here after them, and some of them seperated their .. .vand had them living one in one town and the other wife in ancthtown, and they moved back and forth over the state line her«tWyoming-Idaho line, because it ran right through the valley eand through the town of Freedom. So that's how Freedom wnamed. It was actually from the polygamists moving here ffreedom." ^

Swede Robinson is one of these people who has heard a tstories, talked with the old-timers, and remembers what heheard. * • ^

The mention of any place or incident in Star Valley history b iforth tales that spin outward from the center, flying over year v.geography, referencing and crossing into other tales.

After hearing him the reporter is left with an impressi^iRwoven fabric, a fabric of years, reality and people's lives rforgotton.

One of the names that comes up several times is Charles Hen:Haderlie, a man with two wives who moved to Freedom f»oProvidence. Utah, about iy(X).

Swede talked about Haderlie's sawmill hauled up from Utah u>wagon.

Most of the old buildings in Freedom were built with lu.mberthat mill, he said. Some of the old houses, 70 or 80 years old are tstanding.

Old Charles Haderlie was a worker. He ran his sawmihomesteaded a ranch, worked at the Caribou Gold Mine andwas a road super\'isor for the county. He worked hard ever>' iaccording to Swede, until he died, and cared for two families ofchildren each.

- Qyiri of Haderlie's sons. Oliver, is a good friend of S^yede's arj :suggests we call him. He is home and would be glad'to talk z ;the old days.

Oliver R. Haderlie was born in Utah in 1899 His parentsSwiss immigrants who converted to the Mormon beliefs and sein Utah. His father married two sisters and had two families

when the law and the church both decreed against polygamy,refused to desert either of the families. Instead he sought r^,and a new life in Freedom.

"The law officers." he recalled, "thought that Dad was biai:under the bed. when my brother. Cliff, was born. He was op.ly fi'or si.x days old. and they just tipped the bed a.nd my .Muiher*^ever>-thing over. They took my Mother and m> Dad and broth-court when he was only eight days old, and he cried so harc!|rruptured himself. So we liveC up there, both of us for aboutyears. Dad was quite a sawmill man. He had two sawmill^ at :time, one steam-poweri-cl art! one v-:iler-p"v.''ren s.i h( •' .

forth.Haderlle, 76, reminisces in his easy chair. He is balding, with thin

wispy hair'and he speaks and moves with the agility of ayounger ,man, gesturing with his hands often for emphasis. He is soft-spokenand humorous. ....

^ Oliver was bishop of the Thayne, VVy. LDS church for eight yearsalthough he had little formal education. He remembers plowing inthe fields as a boy and listening to the school bell ringing, feeling

.happy he wasn't in school. After plowing in the fall, they could onlyi Ko to school about four monthsa year.' "Dad told me a story." he said, "that when he left to come up•here he took a team and wagon and his sawing outfit. See he firstfestablished his mill down there, and they'd run all the horses down' in Cache Valley, tr\'ing to catch him. But they never did catch him. yjHe must have got on a"different track or something. That's what• I've heard himsay.". ^ » uu• ' Oliver speaks of life in Utah before coming to Freedom not with[ bitterness,-but with a matter-of-fact attitude about the hardships; and strugglehis father faced. 't "They just drained the people something terrible you know if• they had any money, they'd let them give it to them, and they dlet

them go. And then pretty quick they'd come back again and they•just nearly drained them people. He wouldn't dropUaid, -rve got them, I'm going to take care of ^em.

He'd get aton of flour, we'd get half of it. they'd get half of it.

Wenever lacked foranything because he took care ofus just as hdid for them."

Nearly all ofHaderlie's childhood memories involve working ithe fields or as he got older, in his father's sawmill. All of h;brothersworked inthesawmill, offbearing. carryingslabs, sawing

After they moved to Freedom, the Haderlies were never agaibothered by lawmen, and though times were hard, Olivermemories are happy,snd good.

Haderlie continues to remember vividly and accurately. SwecRobinson concurrs with his accounts now and then, his facbrightening to some remote, obscure ground of memory.

Swede remembers when hewas very young, riding a wagon wi!his father, picking up lumber atHaderlie's sawmill. He.^membeibackto thesecond decade ofthis century, when every yeara barofBannock IndianscametoStar Valley toget meat.

"Father built a pond up above," Swede recalled, "andheranflume, about eight feet square from the pond, down to a penstocabout 20 feet deep. Down inthere was two water wheels. You couopen them and iL'd turn this and then it'd come up here and therebe a pulley up here on this belt and one person would run the plan,and one would run the saw, you soe? They didn't think nothirabout government helping them or government payments arthings to help people. They just got out and done it. Man, right outthewinter and cold. He never quit until hedied.

Oliver worked for Verl Hebdon several years in his Dudecamp. He had a real nack for getting alongwith peoplefrom allwalksof lifo. Ralph also workedthere a fewyears. BothOliver and Ralph became acquainted with manypeople: Harold and Judy, Woodle Monison, Slim Altivltch, Van Vanerwegan, Jake Cross. Ralph started doing someguiding on his own. Oliver helped him. The last four fellows came several times to their ranch and hunting. Theyhad some wonderful times and did some crazy things. Van wrote these poems for Oliver about their experiences.

TO A STAR VALLEY BISHOP

1am going to writea lineor twoAbout a friend of mine.

We plan to meet in heavenBut not for quite some time.

He's been around for quite a spellAnd made a lot of friends.

He works so hard within his church

That its him they always send.

His judgment is not the best sometimesBecause he drives an oW Ford truck,He uses bait to catch his fish

And he never has much luck.

He has some friends outskle his church

From California's sunny land,He calls them west Pacifk: dudes

And he ribs them all he can.

But when the fall air's crisp and cokjAnd frost forms on the ground,He knows the time is growing shortTill those felbws will be round.

They drive down In the pasture,On the riverbank make their camp,Catching all those fish pops missedWhtohthey clean by lightof lamp.

Pop likes to tell tall storiesAt)out the days gone byAnd because he is a bishopI'm sure he'd never lie.

1/16/72 Another slam by Van

ELK HUNT IN WYOMING

He sure can cook a tasty mealAnd never open up a can.He bon'ows milk from a friend of his

And this friend is not a man.

The wWows he takes dancing -There may be two or three.How he always stays so youngIs a mystery, folks, to me.

His snowmobile has thrown him.

He drives his tractor through the bam.He falls from off his gentle horse,Yet the Lord keeps him from harm.

He raises pigs, and chfckens, too.And drives that old Ford fliver

From chickens he makes a fot of soupFrom the pigs he eats the liver.

One time he ate a mess of frogs.It was about all that he couM do.

And then he found he liked those things.So he ate not one but two.

He just won't eat deer liverThough it's fried so nfoe and brown.Still I feel quite sure he'd try itIf we dudes were not around.

Nowthis man of whom I'm speakingHas Oliver Haderlie as his name.And I'm sure this worid is betterSince through our lives he came.

The dawn broke coki and ctoudy. A sfow rain was coming downThe trees were drippingwater when we left the camping ground.

Ralph was on the lead horse, as we started up the trail.Then came Jake and Clay and Woody. Pop and I brought up the trail.

Ralph rode so smooth and easy- like, just swaying back and forth,While Jake was a mass of movement, as he rode all over his horse.

Now Clay was not much better. As he rode he rubbed his beard.His ancient gun was rusting more. In his bag was his near beer.

I guess or Woody's old back trouble was acting up again today.He was sideways in his saddle. Seems he always rides that way.

Myhorse and I seemed far apart. Iwas going where he had been.And that bouncing in the saddle was hurting my lower end.

Nothing seemed to bother Pop. In the saddle he's at rest.He's a Bishop in his Mormon Church, a Saint we rate the best.

How this group all got together would make another tale,But friends we were forever, as we rode on up the trail.

We were riding up the mkldle ridge. Itwas just lightenough to seeWhen Ralph came piling off his horse, and ran across in front of me.

Somehow I left the saddle after struggling with my gunTokJ Pop to hold my horse's reins, so IcouM join the fun.

Ralph had seen some movement. Of what, he was not quite sureUntil he found fresh elk tracks of a herd of ten or more.

So we had a little conference. Our guWesays, "Here's what we'll do:Jake, you and Clay and Woody take the stands we planned for you.

Pop, you and Van head up the ridge and go all the way on top.And when you reach the grassy knoll, tie your horses up there and stop.

I'llcome up from the bottom and drive through the timber stand.That herd will probably be there, and I'llspook them if Ican.

We'll plan to meet for dinner, with Pop up on the hill,Unless, of course, we're lucl^, and someone makes a kill."

Pop and I went down the hill and crossed the okj creek bed.We were going up the snowy rkJge, as we watched for tracks ahead.

We were nearing a minor crest ahead. The rain had tumed to snow.Pop had now dismounted and was walking, bending tow.

He motk>ned me to do the same, and whispered, "Be real quiet."Then pointed to some tracks ahead, and sakl, "Elk were here last night."

"Let me have your horse," sakl he," and you slip up to the top.They may have taken shelter there. You just might get a shot"

Truer words were never spoken, for I had hardly cleared the crestWhena four point bull came trotting by. I put my bead right on his chest

I was squeezing on the trigger when he stopped and looked ahead.I felt that 06 nudge me back, and that old bull elk fell dead.

I hollered back so Pop could hear, and the county heard as well,"I got a bull," but then he moved, and Itcost me another shell.

Thusended myhuntwith the Haderlles. Betterguides you'll never find.Nolicensecame forme thisyear, so they'll be leaving me behind.

AN ODE TO POP HADERLIE

BY JULIUS E. VANERWEGAN

There's a niceold gent from the townof ThayneWho is a bishop in his ward.

The kind of man who foves his GodBut still he drives a Ford.

He's been around for quite a spellAnd has caught a tot of fish.

The big ones, though, he never fools,Yet it's always been his wish.

The thing he likes the very bestBesides that old Ford ftlver,

Is a plate of stuff you woukln'teat,He calls itfresh hog liver.

He tried to rkle his new Skl-DooLike a young man on the trail.

But all Pop knows is horsesSo he was doomed to f^l.

He tried doing cartwheels in the snowAnd land back on its treads.

Butltf^ledby halfatum I'mtoWAnd Pop landed on his head.

When he gets in the mountainsTo hunt for eik and deer,

We always keep our eyes on himCause he got lost last year.

He trailed a woundedeik one dayThat limped back in the brush.

He found that bull but coukJn't shootSo h^ to call on us.

There was snow on Roosevelt MeadowsAndPop was packinggame,

When his horse just up and threw himTo the earth from which he came.

Ateveningtime he likesto singSongs praisingGod, his King.

Hisfriends all like to join in,I wish that they coukJ sing.

Coffee's something he won't drink- -WouWn't feed itto his hogs.

But his hunger buikis up qufoklyWhen Jake starts frying frogs.

He'll put away his coid porksteak;That hog livercan't compare.

The antek>pejerky's taste is flatWhen frogs are on the f^.

Idon't know when we'll huntagain;It tends to make me blue.

But I know If there Is game In HeavenI'll hunt up there withyou.

Charles Henry Haderlie, son of John Ulrich Haderlie cuid Anna Elizabeth 2tollinger,was bom March 29, 1859 in Oberurdof, Canton Zurich, Switzerland. At the age ofseven years I emigrated with my parents to America. Left Switzerland about May 1,1866, crossed the Atlantic Ocean on a sailing vessel and while on board of ship mymother gave birth to a baby girl named Caroline.

After a long sea voyage we arrived in New York City and immediately took a train forthe West. Going through the State of Iowa an axle broke on the car we were riding inand tipped us over. The car was a box car and contained quite a few emigrants but wesuffered no serious injuries. (The new baby, Caroline, did get sick and died somewherenear Missouri.) Proceeding westward we arrived at the Missouri River, WinterQuarters or Florence, Neb. about the latter part of June 1866. Upon our arrival wewere surprised to see my Uncle Jacob Zollinger who had come from Utah, having beencalled by the church authorities to go as a teamster to get emigrants to bring to Utah.

After resting a few weeks in camp and waiting for the organization of the companygoing West and giving the mules a chance to rest up a little for the trip, we started onour Journey. We were fortunate in being assigned to my uncle's outfit, consisting offour mules and one wagon and assigned to Thomas X. Ricks' Company. In my uncle'swagon were Father. Mother, sister Louisa, Anna the baby, and myself of our family.He also had another family in his wa^n consisting of two aged people, two sistersand a brother and with my uncle as driver there were eleven persons in our wagon.With four head of mules we left for the overland Journey 15 July 1866. Everythingwent well without any serious mishaps except while crossing the Platte River in Neb.One of the mules laid down in the water which was over three feet deep. It tookconsiderable time to get him on his feet agsdn. Proceeding on our trip, my little sister,Anna, took seriously ill of fever and ague and died somewhere in the neighborhood ofEvanston. Wyoming (25 Aug. 1866). A little casket was made out of a mess-box of awagon and she was laid away in a lonely grave.

We arrived in Salt Lake City 16 Sept. 1866. remained a few days (or two months), then

33

Page 54: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

proceeded on to Providence, Utah, where my grandfather and grandmother and theirchildren resided. This ended our long journey by covered wagon over the one thousandmile trip from the Missouri River.

On 31 Aug. 1867, a sister was bom and later died 4 Sept. 1871. From the late sixtiesup to 1875 there were some trying times, with Indian troubles and grasshopper andcricket plagues. During my boyhood days I had to help my mother with the crops inthe lots and fields and help glesin wheat heads for our flour. When I was sixteen yearsof age I broke my right leg between the knee and foot and was laid up for six weeks. Afew years later I had the same leg mashed.

In Oct. 1879, I went with a contracting company to Snake River Valley, now known asPoplar, to help build the first canal out of the South Fork of Snake River.

In June 1881, I was united in marriage to Babetta (Anna Barbara) Schiess, daughterof John (Johannes) Schiess and Anna Barbara Kursteiner Schiess, who came toProvidence in July 1876, from Herisau, Switzerland. We were married by Joseph F.Smith in the old Endowment House in Salt Lake City, Utah. From this union werebom thirteen children: Henry W., 6 Feb. 1882; Lillie B., 16 May 1883; John J., 16June 1884; David A., 20 Nov. 1885; Luther H., 6 April 1889; Annie E., 4 Sept. 1890;Ida M., 9 May 1892; Lula L, 27 Nov. 1893; Edward W., 10 Mar. 1896; Wilford L., 22Nov. 1897; Austin L., 31 Dec. 1899; Hazel L., 15 Sept. 1903; Gilberts., 10 June 1907.

In 1884,1 was ordained a Seventy by Abram A, Cannon.

On the 15th day of April, 1885, I was united in marriage to Bertha Schiess (youngersister of Barbara), daughter of John ( Johannes) Schiess and Anna BarbaraKursteiner. This marriage took place in the Logan Temple, Logan. Utah. From thisunion were bom thirteen children: Fredrick W. July 16, 1886, Charles B. June 12,1890, Clifford M. July 15, 1894, Carlett, July 20, 1896, Oliver R. Aug. 15. 1899, Roy L.June 24, 1901, Earnest L. Sept. 5, 1902, Mabel A. Dec. 25, 1903, Ina B. April 10, 1905,Leo L. Oct. 14, 1906, Delia R. June 13, 1908, Blanche I. Dec. 31, 1909, and Wanda F.Feb. 12, 1913. I am the father of twenty six children and twenty two of them cire stillliving.

In Oct. 1885, I received a call to go on a mission to Europe (Swiss-German). (He lefttwo wives, three children and two more on the way. He was gone for nearly threeyears. He traveled without purse or script - received less than $10.00 from homewhile he was gone. His wives and children stayed with their parents while he wasgone.) On Oct. 11, I took a train for Salt Lake City. After staying a few days onaccount of sickness, in company of a dozen Elders, we left Salt Lake City for the easton Oct. 14, 1885. We arrived in New York City on Oct. 18 and from there commencedour long voyage. On Oct. 30th, we arrived in Liverpool, England, and in Nov. wearrived at Hem, the headquarters of the Swiss-German Mission. After visiting withmy relatives in Zurich and Herisau, I retumed to the Mission headquarters where Iwas assigned as traveling Elder in the Jura Conference. After laboring up to July 28,1886,1 was called to east Prussia and labored there until Feb. 1, 1887. When I arrivedback at Mission headquarters I was appointed President of the Jura Conference and

34

Page 55: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

acted as such until I was released in the month of June 1888. This is a brief accountof my return home; on June 5, 1888, we left Basel, Switzerland for our westwardJourney. I was appointed to take charge of the 72 emigrants that were in ourcompany. On June the 9th at Liverpool, England, 10 a.m. we went aboard thesteamer Nevada and set sail for New York City. Quite a lot of us got sick and our tripwas not a very pleasant one. We arrived in New York City June 20th, all well. At 3p.m. we took a steamer for Norfolk, Virginia, and arrived there on the 21st. We gotthere one hour after the train pulled out and on this account we were delayed, whichwas awful. We left Norfolk, Va., on June 22nd and arrived in Denver June 26th. Afterleaving Denver I bought myself a suit, tramp's clothing, and a bag of tobacco and apipe to disguise myself so the Deputy Marshals would not recognize me when I gothome. (They were looking for me because I was a polygamist.)

I arrived in Logan June 27, 1888. My parents did not know me because of mydisguise. After returning home I could only stay with my family one week on accountof the crusade against the polygamists. Then I was forced into exile for some time. Ifirst went to Soda Springs, then to Caribou. I worked there at the carpenter tradeunder an alias name, C. H. Heddinger, to avoid being caught by Deputy Marshals. InAug. 1888, I had a layoff and walked 17 miles down to J5tar Valley to find me a newhome. I located my ranch on Tin Cup Creek, then sent for my family, (family withBarbara. Bertha and children stayed in Providence until the spring of 1900, then theycame and lived by the first family at Tin Cup for three years then moved to a ranch inTliayne.) which my father brou^t up with a good young team, a new harness and anew wagon. After they were made as comfortable as possible, I returned to Caribou towork until winter. I worked on the ranch the winters of 1888-89, then went back toCaribou until in the fall when I finally settled down on my ranch, to build it up.

On Feb. 20th 1889, my mother-in-law died in Providence, Utah. (Oct. 28, 1901 myown mother died. My father died Aug. 17, 1922. Both of them died in Providence,Utah.)The winters of 1890-91 was a very hard one even with money. I had $400 in the houseand could not buy flour. So, on the 20th of April. 1890, I snowshoed 17 miles toCaribou and carried fifty pounds of flour home on my back. Then I went to Lane'sCreek on horseback and got twenty-five pounds and swam Tin Cup Creek with it.

During the first few years in our new home we passed through many trials andhardships. About this time I received a call to go to Europe on a second mission, butwas forced to refuse the call on account of financial circumstances. In the following years I began to prosper and children were bom to us and wewere happy. Then I became active both in civil and religious work. I was set apart asfirst counselor to Bishop Osbome Low and acted in that capacity for severad years inthe FYeedom Ward. In 1914, I was sustained as a member of the high council of theStar Valley Stake for several years. Then I served our locality in first Bannock, thenlater Caribou Co.. Idaho for many years, twenty years as chairman of the schoolboard, three terms or twelve years as Notary Public, U.S. Commissioner, Justice of thePeace, and road overseer.

In 1895,1 set up and operated a water power sawmill. (At the ranch in Thayne.)On 2 Aug. 1910, my father-in-law died in Idaho/Wyoming. He had come there to livewith his daughters. He had lived in a little house next to their homes.

During the year 1911 I offered to go on the second mission to Europe, received thecall, and was prepared to leave for Salt Lake Cily in Oct. of that year, but when theylearned that I had such a large family to leave behind me without a father's guide andcounsel they honorably released me.

The following year I went more into the lumber business, purchased and operated asteam sawmill, planer, and shingle mill. I have bought and operated 2 steam sawmills and a water power mill which I operated up to 1930.

In 1920 I drove a Ford car through Idaho and Oregon, and down to Los Angeles,California. I worked there two months carpentering at $9.00 per day, then I cameback to Star Valley. I returned to California again in 1929. I went to Los Angeles tospend the winter months.

On the 8th day of May 1930 my wife Babetta Haderlie died of a cancer. Now I amrounding out my life with renewed energy and zeal in the work of the Lord, feelinghappy and contented with my lot.

I have ridden in most of the vehicles or machines driven or propelled by power, from asailing vessel to a late Ford tri-motor airplane. I have owned nine automobiles up tothe present time; 1 Ford, 1 Carter car, 5 Fords, 1 Chevrolet, and 1 1930 Ford. I havedriven my automobiles over one hundred thousand miles and never had a seriouswreck except one in 1929 while working on the Tin Cup Canyon road and which nearlycost me my life.

Feb. 15, 1928, I took my first aiiplane ride, from Rogers Airport, Los Angeles,California. (Price $25) I was taken up twelve thousand feet. The plane was putthrough performances to restore my hearing, but it did not help me. Feb. 22, 1928,1took my second airplane ride in a Ford tri-motor ten passenger plane. This ride costme $15.00 and it was worth it. We flew from Los Angeles to San Diego, California, adistance of 145 miles, in an hour and fifteen minutes.

In conclusion, I leave to my family and all the world my testimony of the truthfulnessof the gospel of Jesus Christ as revealed through the Prophet Joseph Smith. I doknow that God lives cind that Jesus Christ is His Son and in veiy deed the Redeemerof the world and I admonish all mankind to enter in at the straight and narrow waythat leads to eternal life and a glorious exaltation in the Kingdom of God.

This was written about 1932/33. Charles Heniy Haderlie died Nov. 19, 1943, at AflonHospital of pneumonia. His funeral was at Freedom Wyoming. He was buried at theFreedom Cemetery in Caribou, Idaho. He was 83 years old and was survived by hiswife Bertha Schiess Haderlie. 22 of his 26 children were still living. At closest counthe then had 294 descendants. He had had two wives each besiring 13 children - 8 boysand 5 girls in each family. Since he had been the only boy in his family, his fatherhad feared the Haderlie name would die out which certainly wasn't the case.

LAW OFFICERS SEARCH FOR POLYGAMIST CHARLES HENRY HADERLIE

Prior to 1890 some of the Latter-day Saint men married more than one wife. One ofthese was Charles Heniy Haderlie who had a wife and family in Thajme, Wyoming, andanother wife and family across the state line in Freedom, Idaho. Nearby, in the townof Bedford, Wyoming, lived Rudolf Wolfley. His son, Ernest Wolfley, told a stoiy thatis remembered by Roscoe Titensor who wrote the following account during April of1979.

* «**«*««*

The U.S. Government was after polygamists, often putting them in jail. Mr. Haderlieheard of officers coming to Freedom, so he rode horseback to Mr. Wolfle/s farm. Heexcitedly told Mr. Wolfley what was up. Mr. Wolfley told him to dig into the side ofthe recently threshed straw stack to hide. The officer rode into Mr. Wolfley*s andasked if he knew of any polygamists being in this area. Mr. Wolfley said, Tes, I knowof one.** He took the officer out through the yard. Mr. Haderlie could hear theirconversation from his hiding place in the straw. Mr. Wolfley said, "TTiis one hadhustled out through the 3rard and weis hiding behind a high slab fence." As they wentaround the comer of the fence, there was a rooster with twenty-five hens. Mr, Wolfleysaid. Tou caught him right here in my yard." - Roscoe Titensor -

Because of the search for poloyamists Charles had two ranches for his two families.The Freedom ranch up Tin Cup was just inside the Idaho boarder. The Thayne ranchand saw mill was just inside the Wyoming boarder. When the Marshals came lookingfor him in one state he would go to the other for protection. There is a knoll in thewest side hills of the valley where Charles could go and see both of his homes. Hewould watch for the signal, a white cloth at a window, so he would know which houseit was safe to go to. This became known as Haderlie Knoll.

Charles Heniy Haderlie, son of John Ulrich Haderlle and Anna Elizabeth ZoUinger, was bom March 29,1859, in Oberurdor, canton Zurich. Switzerland. He emigrated to America with his parents when he wasseven years of age. They crossed the Atlantic Ocean on a sailing vessel After landing in New York Citythey took a train for the West and arrived at Florence. Nebraska, the latter part of June, 1866. Fromthere they traveled by covered wagon in the TTicmas Ricks Company to Salt Lake City, Utah - a distanceof 1200 miles. They were two months making this joumQr across the plains.

During his boyhood days he passed through trying times. Indian troubles, grasshopper and cricketplagues. He helped his mother glean wheat heads from the field to make flour for the family. In October1879 he went with a contracting company to the Snake River Valley to help bufld the first canal out ofthe South Fork of the Snake River. In June 1880 he was united in marriage to Babetta Schiess byJoseph F. Smith in the old Endowment House at S. L. C. Utah. From this union were bom thirteenchildren, ten of whom are still living. He was united in marriage to Bertha Schiess, sister of his first wife.April 15, 1885, at the Logan TSemple, Logan, Utah. From this union were bom thirteen children. Twelveare living at this time.

In 1884 he was ordained a Seventy by ApostleAbram A. Cannon and in 1885 he received a call to go ona mission to Europe. He labored as a faithful missionary for more than two and a half years in theSwiss-Geraian mission. The latter part of this terai he served as Conference President. On his returnhome he was placed in charge of a company of 72 emigrants. And fi*om v4iat he has told me in the pasthe did have quite a time keeping those people in the right -- being people who did not understand theAmerican customs. Even among their many friends there were those that robbed them.

After arriving home he stayed with his families only a short time and then went to Caribou, Idaho,during the time of the gold msh. While at the Caribou Mine he decided to take a joumey to Star Valley.He came down Tin Cup Creek, a distance of 17 mfles, to see Star Valley and wMe here he located hishome - the one on Tin cup. After deciding he would like to settle here in the valley, he wrote to hisfather and told him to bring his family. He went through many trials and hardships during the first fewyears and things were not as easy to get as they are at the present time. During the winter of 1889 hesnowshoed to the Caribou Mine and carried a sack of flour home on his back. Another time he made atrip by team and wagon to secure things for his fanoilles* welfare.He served as first counselor to Bishop Low for a period of time in the Freedom ward and he also served inthe High Council of the Star Valley Stake. He held many public offices: chairman of the School Board,U.S. Commissioner, Notary Public. Justice of the Peace, and Road Overseer.

I am sure that many people have been benefited by him and that he has accanplished a tot of good asone of the early pioneers of this fine valley. In 1896 he set up and operated a water power saw mill andin 1912 he purchased and operated a steam power saw mill, planer, and shingle mfll. Many of oiu-good

people here today are aware of the fine work he did to plane lumber for msiny of the One buildings wehave here today.

On May 8. 1930, his first wife, my grandmother Babetta Schless Haderlie. passed away. His second wife.Aunt Bertha Schiess Haderlie. and his sister Aunt Ella Frank are still living. I would like to pay tributeto these fine people at this time. They are good people as I have known them. I know that they deservea good word at this time. My grandfather, my grandmother and Aunt El. and his wife. Aunt Bertha, areall good people. Hiey are generous and they aren't afi-aid to give. I was just thinking last night that theypossessed the gift of generosity. I say that there is nothing greater than if you can do good to someoneelse. And I know that it was this way with these fine people. My grandfather did much good to help mewhen I was on my mission to encourage me. He wrote me many letters encouraging me to be a goodmissionary. At the time we were left alone I know he used to make his regular trips down to our homeand almost every week or eveiy other week we would see him coming to see if he could do something tohelp because he knew we were not very old. I still remember the good times we had when I had theprivilege of going to my grandfather and grandmother's home on days of celebration. They were peoplewho put themselves out to treat others well, whether it was their own family, relatives, or strangers. Iam sure that it was that way with anyone with whom they came into contact. I do not think that Ishould take up any more time but I would like to read a poem that I have here that I feel fitting andappropriate at this time:

THE "MORMON* PIONEERS

O'er the great and mighty watersCame that gallant Pilgrim bandSeeking here religious fineedomDriven from their Mother Land.

So like them, our Pioneer FathersFor the faith they loved so wellLeft their homes in foreign landsAnd to the mountains came to dwell.

Out across the unknown prairiesO'er a wild uncharted way.Onwardl Forward! was their watchword.Giving thsinks to God each day.

Oh, the perils of that journey.Oh, the hardships each could tell:Sickness, danger, cold, and hunger.Many by the wayside fell.

Have they builded for the future?Will it last through all the years?Brave and fearless men and women

Noble band of pioneers.

But, their faith was still undauntedThey had put their trust on highAnd were willing to endureFor this faith; if need be, die.

In their leader God had chosen

Man with vision, courage, too:He could see the needs of future

And did bring them safely through.

When they reached the Rocky MountainsThere upon the Great Divide,For the "Saints" they built a cityWhere in peace they may abide.

And like one family of brothersOne and all could worship God.Building hcmes and building temples.Tilling there the virgin sod.

In our mind there is no question.In our hearts we have no fear

That their work will stand forever!

Hall, all hall, brave pioneer.

I know that each of us has memories of the past. I hope that they are memories that will be for ourprogress and that we may go forward and fulfill our missions so that they will be a success. Mygrandfather has done his part. He has passed to the great beyond but it is our duty to cany on as hischildren that, we do so in a way that will show due respect to him throughout all future time. I knowthat this is his will and desire that we might live in peace and harmony and love and enjoy each other'sassociation right on down through time. M^ the Lord bless each and every one of us that we mayalways do good to each other and not do evil, I ask in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Second Speaker: Bishop O. LowMy dear brothers and sisters and Wends: We have met here today to do honor to this wonderful manwho now lies in state before us. I see this wonderful man when I think of the host of posterity he hasleft and when we comment upon the many things that have been accomplished in his lifetime. Whenthese things are summed up and read to us in a few minutes it covers a great deal of ground. Whatwonderful experiences he has had. It isn't what we say in this life, it is what we do that counts. Allthat this wonderful man has done has been read to us in a few words by one of his grandsons; and nothalf has been told, as the song says. When we think of the long trails firom birth to death that men likeBrother Haderlie have lived to a ripe old age, when we think of the trials, the ups and downs, the crooksand turns in the road, the weather, surrounding conditions, and labor that has been done, it wouldmake a large book, if it were all detailed.

Now I want to take you back to the 1880's -- along in the 80's -- principally, when the early pioneers ofStar Valley came to settle this country in its natural state. There were many hardships psissed through.I see that there are a number in the house today that can go back to that time but there are a greatmeiny of you who could do so only by what you have heard. Your Imagination permits you to hear thethings and see the things, how we made a living, how we lived in houses. Under the circumstances youcan only imagine it, with your comfortable homes you have now.

The reason why Brother Haderlie settled here was the same reason why I came to the country -- throughmy father's experiences. Back in the 80*s there was a law passed In the United States that there shouldbe no more plural marriages under this government. Before that dme our church members and BrotherC.H. entered Into that principle. It was after he had returned from his mission that the oflScers of theU.S. were seeking out men like Brother Haderlie who were then claiming their wives and children,feeding and clothing and schooling them. They were searching out such men to bring them to prison forbreaking the law of the land that was a law that was passed after they had entered Into that principle.These men did not deny or cast off their plural wives or children. They did keep them, and school them,and clothe them and care for them the same as they did their first wife and children. And so for thisreason. Brother Haderlie was on the undeiiground in the 80*s. These people that lived on theunderground were men and women who had to go out into new places where they were not known sowell, away from their old home. They had to keep away from the officers of the law and make a living.Brother Haderlie was working in the Caribou Mine west of us. He could not go back to his homewithout being arrested -- one of the reasons why he settled here in Star Valley. My father came shortlyafter that and settled here. Hirough him I came In the spring of 1890. I came to Star Valley. I came toFreedom. One of the first men I got to know was Brother Haderlie. In those days the homes were fewand far between. So few and far between that when winter came there were no sleigh roads broken frtamone house to another. We couldn't keep them open all winter long and we had to abandon sleigh traveland go on snowshoes. In cases of sickness and death we had to make the best of these things. Wedon't know now the conditions that existed then.

The little church house here in Freedom, the little log cabin, was built in earty days and we had to comefrom far and near to church. It was impossible for some families to come. All winter long they couldn'tcross the river. There were no bridges at that time. They had to come on snow shoes. Brother FredWolfley who lived 5 miles north of here couldn't come to church at all during the winter because hecouldn't cross the river.

Brother Haderlie was one of the earty pioneers who helped to build up the community. He was mycounselor when I was selected as bishop of this ward in 1893. Brother Haderlie and Wall Barber weremy counselors and afterward Dee Ralney and Eugene Weber when I was called to Afton to preside.

Now this is a little of the history. The laws that exist today are now more completely carried out andthey are more fully organized. For Instance. In early days we had all the fish and wild game that wasours to use without the law distributing it to us. We helped ourselves. I have gone from my home. 4miles or more, up to Brother Haderlle's to get a sack full of fish that had come down into the mill andout Into the rack In the overflow. All the neighbors wanted fish and what was not used was let gothrough and there was no waste. These were laws that were more lenient to us than they are today.

40

Page 61: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

The same with the game. We killed our game up in the hills.

We would have to leave the valley in the fall of the year and go out with one or two teams or whateveramount was necessary to suffice the needs of the community to bring in the flour and groceries 2uidenough things: others would have plenty and we divided with each other. If one family was out of flour,we always found some to give to them. We didn't get together veiy often because we had a long way togo. Of course, we were living miles apart and now we can get into our automobiles. In a few minutestime we can come from the most distant part of the valley.

See the differences in the experiences that men pass through. This man passed through many of suchexperiences. See what a wonderful work his life here is. His posterity numbers of 200 from these threepeople, him and his wives, and in the short time of sixty years. Just think of iti! What an experience!!It is what he has done in this life that counts -- not what he has said -- and he has done wonderful

things. I hope and pray, my brothers and sisters, that all of us may aU have our experiences credited tous as a memory. May we so live that we can live in love and peace and enjoy our efforts, keeping andliving our religion as Latter-day Saints and cherish the memories of this, our brother, who has passedfrom this stage of life to the great beyond where he will begin anew and continue on and prepare for thecoming of his posterity. May God bless you to this end that it wfll be our happy lot to live in thismanner. I pray in Jesus' name. Amen.

Third Speaker - President Clarence Gardner:My dear brothers and sisters:I feel highly honored today, and yesterday when I was talking to your Bishop. He said that I had beenrequested by Brother HaderUe to speak at his funeral as outlined by him so many years ago and that Ihad been chosen as one of the speakers. I feel very happy that he has placed me in the field along withthese other brethren.

I knew Brother Haderlie quite well as he was a high councUman at the time I served. As a highcouncilman, I had the privilege of meeting with him and the other brethren on many occasions. He. likethe others, was faithful and himible and always took care of the duties and responsibilities that wereassigned to him.

This is the third time in the last four or five days that I have been caUed upon to s^ a few words at thedeparting of some of my friends. Just the other day. last Friday. I was called upon to say a few words atthe graveside services ofSam Kennington. A great many ofyou here wfll remember him as a pioneer whowent over there (Etna) to homestead a patch of ground. He had a wife and children who worked on thathomestead. He was a great friend of mine. I thought a great deal of him. And yesterday, I was asked tosay a few words at the funeral of one of the finest men in Star Valley. Heman Hyde. He had outlined theprogram that was carried out yesterday. The speakers were some that were on the program here today. Ifeel highfy honored, my brothers and sisters, to have the opportunity to say just a few words upon thisoccasion,

I have lived in this stake now for a great many years. It has been my privilege to look over the variousaudiences with a great deal of satisfaction. It has been 45 or 47 years since I came down here to stakeconference. I had the privflege of mixing with many brothers and pioneers of Star VaUey. As I have gonenow from ward to ward and looked over the audiences. I find veiy few of the old pioneers who were hereto start work in the Star Valley Stake. I find I have at times called for the pioneers to stand to find howmany were there on such and such an occasion. There would be probably be one or two in theaudience. I felt that those old pioneers had passed away and the work had been passed on to the sonsand grandsons. I thought what a wonderful work Brother HaderUe has done!! Whsit a great posterity hehas left. These chUdren. and grandchUdren. and great grandchildren, and this famUy wfll enlarge andBrother HaderUe wfll be the great patriarch over this famfly In the great time to come, I notice thatBrother HaderUe has had 26 chfldren with 22 stiU Uving.

Brother Haderlie came here for practically the same purpose as outlined by Brother Low. He was awonderful man so that we feel grateful for the work that has been done. They had to come over the oldLander Ttall that cuts off by Austin Porter's.

My father came to Star Valley and built the first grist mill and second saw mill, I had the great privilegeof becoming acquainted with the man Sylvester Low. My father came to Bear Lake and purchased aQour mill. He engaged Brother Low to operate diat mill. I have met many of these fine men. Weappreciated this help. It has been my privilege to preside over this stake for 27 years and to labor withone of the finest men I have ever known. Brother George Osmond.

From those little log houses where we used to have our dances and amusements, and also as our placesof worship, have come some of the greatest men we have had in Star Valley. When we think of this, weshould be thankful that the Lord has blessed the people of Star Valley that we have plenty to eat andplenty to wear and money in the bank, I know that a great many of you are blessed with suflBcient, alittle right now at this time that you should be saving against the time that will come,

I love the people of Star Valley and I love the works of these men and these women. I couldn't help butthink of the hardships that Sister Haderlie (Bertha) has gone through. Sister Haderlie is one of thefinest women I have ever met. A number of years ago I went into her home and had one of the finesttalks I have ever had. She couldn't give me enough. She has done it on numerous occasions when Ihave been down to Thayne. She had so many good things to say about the Elders that visited with herin the old countiy. They used to come to her home. She fed and housed them In the early days. Shecouldn't say enough about Rulon Wells. When she was but a little girl. Brother Wells took her on hisknee and talked to her ^out the gospel. These are the things she likes to do, as did her sister. Godbless this family!!

You boys and girls, you had a wonderfid father and mother. They had the privilege of Joining thechurch. It is your duty and my duty now to carry on successfully and remember those splendid thingstaught to you by these wonderful people. I think you will prosper. You are thrifty, you are hardworkers, you are good managers, and the Lord is blessing you. Don't forget the Lord in your prosperity.The Lord is with us. He is guiding the destiny of this great country and I don't feel for a moment butwhat we will conquer and be blessed of the Lord. This land is the best land of all other lands in theworld. It is promised to the people but only on condition that we will keep the commandments and liveworthy of the names of our fathers and mothers who were wonderful pioneers. May the Lord help us todo these wonderful things, I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Fourth Speaker - Bishop R. R. DanaMy brothers and sisters:I am happy indeed this day for the privilege of occupying this position for a few minutes for the reasonthat I have been well acquainted with Brother Haderlie all my life. I have been acquainted with hisfamily. I have been made better by being acquainted with them. I have loved to labor with them in thechurch. I have loved to deal with them in a financial way. Our dealings have alwa3rs been fair. I am notso well acquainted with the family that live in Freedom as those that live in Thajme, but I amacquainted with them. And I had the privilege while Bishop of Thayne to have one of this man's sons asmy counsetor for the neighborhood of 15 years. (Oliver Romeo Haderlie)

Fifteen years isn't a very long time to look back over but to look ahead 15 years is quite a period of time.In all my experiences In the church, I have never enjoyed more the laboring with any man as I did thelaboring with Brother Oliver. This takes me back to a passage of scripture in the writings of Paul whichstates: "By their fiidts, ye shall know them." I think that Brother Haderlie has brought forth goodfiiiits. In the first world war he furnished one boy to go into the service. In World War n he againfurnished another boy. Ernest is in Afirlca and as £ar as I know he has seen service. Brother Haderliewas very proud of his boys. His boys have filled missions. They have been Bishop's coimselors. Theyhave worked in a lot of the auxillaiy organizations in the church. They have been good citizens as wellas his daughters. I am STire, my brothers and sisters, that Brother Haderlie has been very happy indeed

42

Page 63: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

because on a number of occasions he has said and told me of his life's hopes cind ambitions for his sonsand daughters, grandsons and granddaughters. He has been proud of them.

I have shared in my life the confidence of Brother Haderlie. I have been more or less blessed by thetestimony he has shown of the divinity of the work of God. It isn't you younger men who go on missionsand then flare up and then quiet down to nothing, that are going to gain salvation in our Father'skingdom. It is a lifetime job to gain that happiness that we hope to gain. No matter what men may sayor what men may do in this church or out of this church, it is our responsibility to find the road thatleads to happiness and salvation and travel that road. When men or boys are young, older men makethe greatest impression upon their lives. I remember when I W2is a boy in early teens we didn't do as theboys do now. We didn't have the opportunities to go to school, but we went to school two or threemonths in the early days of Star Valley.

I worked in the canyon when I was but a youth and I sold logs to Brother Haderlie. We did not get $ 15or $20 a thousand as you do now. We got $4 or $5 for a thousand firom Brother Haderlie at the sawmill. He would take the scale stick and go out and scale our logs. We always felt satisfied that BrotherHaderlie had given the right amount of money and had been honest in his dealings with us. That madean impression on my life.

I remember the year 1912 in January. The weather as I remember it well was around 40 degrees orbetter below 0. My father died. In confidence with Brother Haderlie my father asked that BrotherHaderlie speak at his funeral. I have always regretted veiy much that we did not know this. I rememberthe day that my faUier was buried. Before time for the funeral. Brother Haderlie and Fred came to ourhouse almost frozen because they had traveled a long distance. I don't know whether he came firomThajme or fiDm here (Freedom), but they were terribfy cold. After he had wanned himself they lookedupon the remains of my father. Tlie tezurs rolled down their cheeks. He did not mention the fact that hehad been asked to speak. I have always felt near to him ft^om that time on. I have never in my Bfe--missed an occasion when I have met Brother Haderlie to stop and talk with him because that one actalone in my life caused me to have a feeling of respect for him. because of the things he did and thesympathy he extended to us in our time of sorrow.

May God bless us that we may remanber these kind pioneers that have made possible things that weenjoy today. When I came into the house I looked at the beautiful flowers. He always had a beautifulhrane, I thought how fitting It was that he should have these beautiful flowers. How fitting it is thatyou and I should stop our work and pay our respects to this good man, this family. What a privilege!!What a joy that we should do this thing. He has done so much for us in our lives. He has built millsand run them. He has worked night and day, almost, to make lumber enough to suppty the demandsthat people have made of him to build this valley up. May God bless his family. May God bless hischildren, that when the time comes that his children lie in state, that scsne lifelongfiriends as BrothersLow and Gardner can truth^y say as they have said of him, There lies a good and honest man whohas been fair in his dealings." I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Elno Draney:On behalf of the Haderlie family and their relatives we wish to express their appreciation to the manywho have assisted in any way at this time. The Relief Society has prepared a lunch in the Relief Societyroom for the relatives to come in to after the trip to the cemetery.

I have been asked to announce that Dr. Kackley of Soda Springs passed away yesterday. His funeral willbe held Friday.

Ella Elizabeth Haderlie, (Frank).

John Ulrich Haderlie, son of Martin Haderlie and Anna Job, was bom inBirmensdorf. Zuerich, Switzerland. December 31, 1833. He married Anna ElizabeflTZollinger, daughter of John Zollinger and Elizabeth Ustrie on December 8, 1856,baptized February 10, 1865, endowed in Salt Lake City. October 24, 1870.

He was the father of twelve children, four boys and eight girls. Eight of these childrenwere bom in Switzerland, one on the ocean between England and New York, and threewere bom in Providence, Utah. Several of the children died when very jJDung, only fourgrew to maturity. Charles Henry Haderlie was the only son to cany on the Haderliename. John Ulrich was afraid the Haderlie name would die out, but Charles had twowives and each of them had 13 children (26) in all. There were 8 boys in each familyto carry on the name.

Ella Frank, youngest child of John Ulrich Haderlie, recalls some of the earlyexperiences of her father as follows:

"Father was a large strong man with black eyes and when he got angry, look out! Hewas good to his children. When my brother, Henry, was seventeen he was small forhis age and father thought he was too small to work.

When in Switzerland Father tended a stationary engine in Zurich. He had a one hourwalk to and from work. He was not well. One time mother went to get some medicinefrom the doctor. Father took some often but it did not help him. They had to go backto the doctor.

Page 67: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

When Father came across the ocean it took six weeks. Father became very hungry.Since he was a lover of soup he decided to make some. The soup was very good butwhen he got to the bottom of the kettle he found a dish rag.

Father and Mother came from the east coast as far cis the Missouri River in a cattlecar. The car tipped over but no one was hurt. When they arrived at the MissouriRiver, Mother's brother, Jakob Zollinger, was there to take them to Providence, Utah.

In the early days it became difficult to make a living. Father (John U.) went to Butte,Montana to work. Sometimes the Indians would come to our house and demand foodand trinkets. Mother would have to call Father before they would go away. Fathertook up carpentry work and built many houses and bams in the town of Providence.They were always well built. He also made coffins. Some were covered with blackvelvet and some with bleached velvet.

Father owned two fanns. One is owned by Von Baer in Providence. The other isowned by Austin Frank. On these farms father raised small fruits and took them toLogan to sell to private parties. He drove a team of horses to haul the fruit.

When the church house in Providence was built, he helped. Father would pull a wheelbarrow. Another man would help him load it with rocks and push it up the scaffold tothe square.

Father was the only one in his family to Join the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-d^L^Saints. He died August 17, 1922. Mother died Oct. 25, 1901." They are both buriedin the Providence Cemetery.

Annie (Anne) Elizabeth ZoUinger Haderlie was bom November 11. 1831, in the littletown of Urdorf, Switzerland. She was the second of six children bom to John andElizabeth Ustrie ZoUinger. Her father was considered a weU-to-do farmer in thatcountry. In her younger days, Annie helped on the fami. Fmits and vegetables werecarried to market in baskets on their heads. Many time Annie walked several milescarrying a basket of produce on her head. Her mother was a silk weaver. Annieleamed this trade. In her mature years she spent most of her time weaving. This wasnecessary, because doing other work would roughen her hands and make it verydifficult to handle silk. If there was any damage done on a piece of silk she wouldreceive no pay for it. The weaving was done for a large finn in the city of Zurich.Switzerland. When Annie was to be married her famUy lamented very much as themoney she could earn would be used to buy and pay for more land. She was marriedto John Ulrich HaderUe on December 8, 1856 (this date is correct) in Aurich. He Uvedin a nearby viUage. They made their home with his parents for a while.

The ZoUinger famUy heard of the gospel through a girl friend who worked for a priestwho lived across the street from their home. Her name was Maiy Horlocker. She latermarried and became the mother of Bishop John Adams of Logan 5th ward.

Annie's parents were baptized into the Latter-day Saint Church sometime inSeptember in the year 1861. Annie received the gospel very readily. She was fond of

48

Page 70: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

reading the Bible. After hearing the gospel it was very clear to her. She was baptizedin November 20, 1861, at the age of thirty years. After having joined the church, livingat her husband's parents' home was very unpleasant for Annie because her husbandand his parents were non-Mormons. So they moved into part of the very large home ofher father. The house was large enough for three families. Annie continued to weavewhile she was raising her family. Many times she rocked the cradle with one handand pushed the shuttle with the other. She was the mother of twelve children, fourboys and eight girls. She was the mother of twin bojrs but they died when they werevery small. One of them died when he had his arms burned very badly, and both diedbefore she immigrated to this country. Only four lived to maturity and married. Therewas only one son to live.

It was in the year 1862, just shortly before the birth of her twins that her parents soldall of their property and immigrated to Utah. Annie and her husband and childrenintended to come, but her husband was not yet a Mormon and he was refusedpermission to leave his native land. They remained in Switzerland four years longer.

Her father gave her some of the money he received for his property. They bought ahome but conditions were such that they were unable to make the final payment solost everything.

When her eldest son was seven weeks old, Annie was very ill. Although her life wasspared at this time, it was not expected that it would be. In later years Annie coiUcL-understand why it was so.

Annie had a very strong constitution. Had it not been so, she would never haveendured the many trials and hardships she had to pass through. In the year 1866,they left the old country with their children to come to Utah. They crossed the oceanin a sailing vessel which took them six weeks on the water. She gave birth to a babygirl, Carolina, on the ship. They traveled from New York to the Missouri River in acattle car. On the way, the car tipped over and she fell on her baby but it was notinjured. They crossed the Missouri River on a ferry boat. When they landed on thewest bank of the river, whom should she meet but her brother, Jacob ZoUinger. It wasa great joy to both of them. He had been sent with his team and wagon to bringimmigrants to Utah. Afifiie was sick most of the way. When they had traveled somedistance, her baby died. Her brother had a mess box in which they placed the babyand buried it by the wayside.

When they had traveled one hundred and fifty miles, or about two days drive out ofScdt Lake City, another little girl, Anna, six years old died and was also buried by thewa5rside. This left two of the nine children that had been bom to her. TTiree morechildren (Emelia, Rosalie and Ella) were bom in Providence, Utah. Emelia, died at theage of four years. Having lost so many of her children, she had become discouraged ofhaving any more and gave all her infant clothing away. When Rosalie was bom shehad no clothes for the baby so her friends gave her some.

Annie came across the plains in the Captain Thomas Ricks Company coming directly49

Page 71: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

to Provicience some time in September 1866. She went through all the hardships ofpioneering. She was very industrious and frugal. She spun wool for many yards ofcloth.

At one time when herding sheep on the north bench in Providence, she found she waspicking chokecherries on one side of a tree while an Indian brave was picking on theother side of the same tree. To be sure, she gathered her sheep in a hurry and wenthome with them. She was a great lover of flowers, both indoors and out. She wouldgather sunflowers while crossing the plains. She spent many nights with the sick,and visited the poor and gave them food of all kinds. She was very reserved in herdisposition and did not care for publicity. She and her husband went through theEndowment House in Salt Lake City, October 24, 1870.

Annie was at the dedication of the Logan Temple. She also did a great amount oftemple work for her dead ancestors. She walked to and from the temple, a distance ofover two miles, many times until the later years of her life when her health failed.Annie said that at one time when she was going through the temple for one of herdead ancestors, it seemed as though a bird was fluttering over her head. Hiis was atestimony to her that the work she was doing was acceptable to the person for whomshe was officiating. She had great faith in the power of prayer and in theadministration of the elders. When she had sickness in her home, her first thoughtwas to call in the elders.

She always loved flowers and grew many beautiful ones inher yard. She was a teacher"in the Relief Society for many years. She came to Utah for the Gospel and never had adesire to return to her native land. Her advice to her children was to remain in thechurch to the very last. She remained a true and faithful Latter-day Saint unto theend of her life which occurred on Oct. 25, 1901 at the age of sixty-nine years elevenmonths and fourteen days. She was buried in the Providence cemetery on October 27,1901. She was survived by her husband, four children, forty grandchildren and anumber of great grandchildren. (On a record submitted to the church someone saidshe died and was buried both on Oct. 28.)

Johannes (John) and Elisabetha (Elizabeth) Usteri ZollingerJohannes's -

Father: Heinrich (Henry) ZollingerMother: Barbara Braem

Wife: Elizabeth Usteri

Children: Ferdinand, Annie Elizabeth, Anna Barbara, Jacob, Elisabeth, Dorothea,Johannes, (another place it said there were only six children.) Annie ElizabethZollinger, mother of Charles Henry Haderlie.

Elizabeth's -

Father: Hans Jakob Usteri

Mother Katharina IrmingerHusband: Johannes (John) Zollinger

The story goes that the ZoUingers operated a ferry across the Rhine River near LakeConstance during the 19th century, and charged a toll. From this trade or occupationcame the name Zoll, meaning toll collectors. Farmers by trade, the ZoUingers calledtheir settlements Zollinc-hovun, meaning the faims of the Zolling clan.

In our history we have an example of a locality name. The name Usteri was takenfrom the town of Uster. Elizabeth Usteri's oldest cuicestor of that same surname wasHans Von Usteri, bom in Uster about 1460. After he had moved to Zurich the peoplecalled him Hans of Uster. He took the name of Usteri from the town of Uster wherethe family originally came from.

Johannes (John) Zollinger w£is bom 4 June 1795 in Urdorf, Zurich, Switzerland. Hewas the son of Heinrich Zollinger and Barbara Braem. He married Elisabetha Usterion 25 (17) May 1829 in Urdorf, Zurich, Switzerland. He died 18 (16) Feb. 1875 inProvidence, Cache Utah.

Elisabetha Usteri was bom 4 July 1809 in Zurich, Zurich, Switz. She was thedaughter of Hans Jakob Usteri and Katharina Irminger. She died 18 Nov. 1881, inProvidence, Cache, Utah.

We (Johannes and Elisabetha) were a very religious people. Elisabetha came througha line of very prominent people who lived in the town of Zurich for 400 years. Three ofher ancestors were ministers of the gospel, four were professors of theology, and fivewere university professors. Other relatives were merchants, members of the citycouncil, millers, doctors, captains, and a poet. Her mother was a very prayerfulwoman. E^rery time she came to see her children she always told them to alwa3rsattend to their prayers.

We taught our children to work and to be obedient. They had to go to school five andone half days a week and also had to take some lessons from the minister. They hadlittle time to play and always had to help at home and on the farm. Hiere were cowsto milk, cattle to feed, and other fami work to do. I kept cows because they were themost profitable animals. With them we did all the work on the farm as well as selling

51

Page 73: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

the milk which they produced.

At the death of my father, Heinrich (Henry)Zollinger, I inherited part of his farm.Then I purchased two thirds of the Zollinger home which was at this time more thanone hundred years old. My daughter Annie Elizabeth and her husband John UlrichHaderlie lived in part of the house with us. The other one third was occupied by aniece and her faiMy. The church and the cemetery were just over the wall from thehouse.

I bought more land and from the farm sold cattle, grain, potatoes, peas, prunes, andapples. From a grape vineyard located on a sunny slope, which produced excellentquality grapes, we made and sold wine. The produce from the farm, at first, had to betransported to market, a distance of six miles, by me and my older daughters, on ourheads.

Elisabeth, my wife, thinking there wsisn't enough money coming in, began weaving silkfor a large firm in Zurich. Our daughters were also taught to weave. There were alsosome men who kept the looms in good repair. As a rule no one outside of the city wasallowed to do this kind of work, but as no one objected, the business became aprofitable one. The woven silk material was sold in 35 yard lengths.

Not everyone could afford a wedding with all the old-fashioned customs. When oureldest daughter, Anna, was married to Hans Ulrich Haederli (Haderlie), we put in ourorder to the cabinet maker to make them a wardrobe, bedstead, chairs and table,-.Then we engaged the miller who had four fine horses to go after the furniture. On theway back the wardrobe fell off and was broken. The cabinet maker who was along,went back and took his wife's wardrobe to replace the one broken. Our daughterAnna Barbara, next to the oldest of the girls, rode in the wagon with the newlyweds,south to the city limits. The groom threw money to the children who followed. Theyoung couple then paraded to the hotel. A succession of parties was given in theirhonor which began at the hotel and then moved from house to house for a period ofthree days.

Our daughter Anna Barbara was married to Konrad Meyer 12 October 1857. She diedseven weeks later, 5 December 1857 at the age of twenty-two. Our son Johannes wasone month old when he^ed.

We heard of the gospel of Jesus Christ through a young lady named Maiy Horlacher,through her daily visits to our home for a supply of milk for a family she worked for.She made use of every opportunity to share the knowledge of her new-found religionwith us. We became interested and began attending the meetings with Mormon Eldersin Zurich.

Our baptismal date was set for November 20, 1861. We were baptized in the UmmatRiver. Our son Ferdie was prejudiced against this new religion and threatened to stopour baptism. Hie Lord blocked his way, for he met with an accident. While helping aneighbor stack grgiin in his bam for thrashing, he slipped coming down a ladder, andinjured his leg. As a result he was confined to his bed for five or six weeks. Never did

52

Page 74: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

an opportunity to study and reflect on the teachings of Mormonism present itself in abetter light than it did then. Ferdie wais soon convinced of the truth and desired to bebaptized.

Johannes was the standard bearer of the Zollinger family in Mormonism, being thefirst one in the family to Join the LDS Church in his native Switzerland. He was soenthused about his new-found religion that notwithstanding the severe oppositionthat arose against him on eveiy side when he aimounced his intention of joining thechurch, he still carried out his determination.

I was a pretty well-to-do fanner. The decision to sell all my property, whichrepresented almost a lifetime of accomplishment and hard work, and go to a strangeland was a most difficult one to make. Elizabeth was very assertive and assured methat it was the right thing to do. We chose to dispose of the property by means of twopublic auctions, one before Christmas aind the other in January of 1862. Notice ofthese had been posted according to law prior to the date of sale. Anna's husband,John Haderlie, wasn't a member of the church yet and did not want us to leave. Hepersuaded the people not to bid, but the Lord knew the desires of our heart and took ahand in the matter. The people changed their attitude. Everything was sold at a goodprice.

Looking ahead to the time we would make the long journey across the plains fromFlorence, Nebraska (Winter Quarters), to the Great Salt Lake Valley, we ordered fouryoke of oxen and a wagon through the church office in Bern. Having made all the_preparations, including new suits made for us by a tailor, we were ready to leave.

On the 30 April 1862, we left with our children: Ferdie; and his fiancee. Louisa Meyer;Jacob; Elizabeth; and Dorothea. We bid farewell to our fatherland and our loved onesincluding our daughter Anna Haederli and family. It was sad, but we left for thegospel's sake. They could not come with us, the trip was sponsored by the church andher husband John Haederli (Haderlie) had not joined the church yet.

From Urdorf we traveled by train to Zurich. There we had our picture taken. On thesecond of May we were in Basel, Switzerland and the next day in Paris, France. Herewe spent the day sight-seeing. None of us had ever been away from home before. Ourdress was old fashioneS^and behind the times of people in Paris. People stared andlaughed at us. We arrived at the seaport town of La Havre. France, on the 4th day ofMay. The ship we had booked passage on had left the day before so we had to wait fortwo weeks for another. Here the marriage of our son Ferdie, to Louisa Mejrer, tookplace on the 12th of May, 1862.We Left La Havre on the 15th of May, on the freighter Windermere, manned by a veryrough group of Irish ailors. Some remodeling was done to accommodate the 109people seeking passage. Two kitchens were improvised where the passengers couldcook their meals which consisted mostly of potatoes. Berths, three high, wereprovided for sleeping quarters.

Brother Serge Ballif, an early Convert to the church, was in charge of our group. Ourship took a southern route along the coast of France, then west along the coast of

53

Page 75: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

Spain, then south along the coast of Portugal where we came into view of the city ofLisban. on the fifth of June 1862. The second day out to sea we were caught in aterrible storm which lasted three days. It was impossible for anyone to walk on deck.The children had to be tied in their berths. Both kitchens were broken to pieces andcaught fire. Repairs were made but they again caught fire and were burned beyondrepair. Two children died and were buried at sea.

Our long journey to America took 54 days at sea. We arrived at New York Harbor July8, 1862. After passing through quarantine and customs, we left by train the next dayfor Albany, New York, then to Niagara Falls, over the St. Lawrence River, and downthrough Canada to Chicago. By July 13th we were in Quincy, Illinois, and crossed theMississippi River on the 14th, arriving in St. Joseph, Missouri, on the 16th of July.Here we stopped overnight in a hotel. We left for Florence (Winter Quarters) on the18th, going up the Missouri River by boat, arriving on the 20th of July. We spenteighteen days at Winter Quarters making preparations for our trek across the plains.The four yoke of oxen and Schettler wagon, previously ordered through the church,were delivered to us and paid for. I also bou^t two cows, a sheet iron stove, a tent,plow, tools, dried fruit, rice, bacon, and flour to take with us on our Journey.

August 8, 1862 - Our company consisted of sixty teams and wagons. We were amongthe six outfits independently owned; we traveled together. We were the last companyto go west. At first all went well, then the roads became dusty with eight to teninches of dust in some places. Progress became slow, feed was scarce, and the cattlebegan to lose flesh. Some of the people became sick and had to remain in theic^wagons. A wagon following our wagon was driven by an Englishman and his wife. Shefell asleep and fell under the wheels of the heavy wagon killing her instantly. Westopped and buried her and then went on. Several others died.

While passing through a grove of cottonwood trees along the Platte River, Ferdie and achum noticed something tied in a buffalo robe hanging in a tree. Out of curiosity heclimbed up to investigate. To his astonishment he found a dead Indian. The stenchmade him sick. Following this incident my wife, Elisabeth, Ferdie, his wife Louisa,and our daughters Elizabeth and Dorothea all got mountain fever. Ferdie was so badhe never walked another step until we arrived in the Salt Lake Valley. I, being sixtythree years of age, drove the two cows and gathered wood for the fires each morningand evening as I walkef'along. A Germsin woman cooked for us and took care of thesick. Jacob had most of the work to do with the oxen and wagon. Each evening acircle was made with the wagons, the oxen unyoked and kept confined to the insideperimeter, giving better protection against the Indians. There was much to do eachday and night; put up the tent, set up the stove, make the fire, milk the cows, go afterthe water which was usually some distance away, and move the sick in and out of thewagon.

As we went through South Pass we moved through snow and veiy cold temperatures.Many froze their feet. This was on the 5th of October. Our travels took us across theSweet River several times. We had to carry some of the people across the river on ourbacks. There were five inches of snow on the ground. The water was very cold. When

54

Page 76: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

we reached the Green River the snow was gone. We came down Echo Canyon andcamped a few miles south of what is now Coalville, on October 27th. We forgot tounyoke one pair of oxen. The next morning they were gone. Someone had stolenthem, but we managed to keep going. On the 30th of October we arrived at the mouthof Emigration Ccinyon. Many people came to see if any of their relations were in ourcompany. On the 31st we drove into the city. We camped in Emigration Square. Thecattle were turned out to graze in the church pasture but being so late in the year thefeed was about gone. Thirty five people had lost their lives in our company. Johanneshad walked all of the way across the plains, while most of the members of his familywere severely ill with mountain fever.

We were strangers in a strange land. We didn't know a soul. Ferdie, his wife Louisa,and Dora were able to get out of the wagon for the first time. How glad they were. Mywife and daughter Elisabeth were not so fortunate. Elisabeth's legs had been crampedfor such a long time in the crowded wagon box that it took four months of constantmassaging with bear grease before she could again gain the use of her legs. My wife,Elizabeth had been so sick and helpless, but in time was able to walk. Because of hergreat faith the power of the priesthood was made manifest many times in her life.This was generally through the administrations of Brother Ballif with whom we hadbecome acquainted as a missionary in Switzerland. In her patriarchal blessing, givena fewyears later, she was promised that sixteen years would be added to her life.

We were in the Salt Lake Valley from 31 October to 7 November 1862. While there wereceived an invitation from Brother Ballifto come to Cache Valley. We accepted. T^-invitation was delivered by Jacob I. Naef, who had come here on business and also totake emigr^ts back to Cache Valley. It took seven days to make the trip. Travelingwas slow with only two yoke of oxen.

Providence -- the six and one half month journey ended 15 November 1862. Wearrived late at night and camped on the south end of town which was at that time afort. How glad we were that our journey was ended and we could stop and rest.Nobody knew how tired we were. We were thankful to the Lord for sparing our livesduring this long journey.

The next morning, amo^ the people who came to see us was a man by the name ofUlrich Traber who offered us his one room house, a log cabin, for a yoke of oxen. Iaccepted his proposition. We moved right in. Here we all spent the winter of 1862and 63. The people were very poor and had no money to purchase the things theyneeded so they desired to trade us out of some of the articles we had brought fromSwitzerland. Judging from the amount of goods we had, they considered us rich.

In 1863 we bought a piece of land north of town giving a tent and a pair of boots aspart payment. That season because of the drought we only raised 150 bushels ofwheat and oats. We did have a fine garden, however. I liked to fish and kept ussupplied with fish which I caught in my traps.

I loaned Apostle Rich some money and in exchange he gave us a number of sheep.The wool which we sheared firom our flock of sheep was spun and woven into cloth.

55

Page 77: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

Eiveryone had clothes made of the same material.

We loaned Ulrich TVaber a yoke of oxen and a wagon in 1863 so he could take a loadof his wheat to Salt Lake, for which he got thirty five cents per bushel. It took a weekto make the trip. With the money he bought a little sugar, some matches, andenough calico at seventy five cents a yard to make his wife a dress. A man couldeasily carry under his arm the little bundle it made.In 1864 the town site was changed and laid out into blocks as it now is. The lots andfarming land were divided by the Bishopric and in the same year the people moved andbegan to build their homes on their own lots. By 1864 the mines in Montana wereoperating. Freighters and miners came through. It gave us an outlet for our farmproducts. Flour and salt sold for $1.00 per pound at the mines. Eggs were $2.00 perdozen and wheat $6.00 per bushel. From the sale of our produce we bought a wagonand a span of mules.

We rented some more land and planted wheat. We had problems with drought,freezing, grasshoppers, and crickets (1868). That year we had only thirty-five bushelsof grain which we sold for $5.00 a bushel. Those ravenous insects infested our fieldsfor a number of years. We tried in eveiy way possible to destroy them but with nosuccess.

The communities were built up by a system of cooperation through which all learnedto live and share with one another. Each week in church, things were discussed andassignments made pertaining to the welfare of the community. Work on irrigatioa-u-ditches, building of roads, bridges, meeting and school houses and visits to themembers of the ward were assigned. Tools were scarce. Fred Theurer, a blacksmith,made a pick out of the steel rim of a wagon wheel. TTiis pick was in constant use.When anyone laid it down, another would pick it up and go to work.

The first school house, a two stoiy rock building, was built in 1877. A large groupworked on it all summer and finished just in time for school to start. The Tabernacleand the Logan Temple were built. Wheeling rock up to the second stoiy in awheelbarrow was hard work. The stone used in building the temple was hauled fromGreen Canyon, northeast of Logan in Franklin, Idaho. Bishop Fred Theurer and ourson Jacob were among^ose who hauled the rock with a span of mules. When theUnion Pacific and CentiS Pacific Railroads came into Utah it provided work for manyof the Saints, an estimated 5000.

Johannes ZoUinger lived in Providence for 13 years, passing away in 1875. His wifedied 18 Nov. 1881. Both are buried in the Providence city cemetery.

Our son Jacob, at age 21 in the year 1866, was called as a teamster to go back to

Omaha to bring emigrants west. He took a wagon and two teams of mules. They tookloads of oats for the mail stations along the way. One day as they approached a blufT,he was in the lead. His mules balked and refused to go on. Upon investigation theyfound a great many dead Indians on the top of this bluff as evidence that a battle hadoccured. They made a detour around this hill and continued on their journey. They

56

Page 78: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

reached Omaha in June and camped on the banks of the Missouri River and waitedfor three weeks for the emigrants to arrive. He wais overjoyed to find among thepassengers his sister Anna and her husband, John Uhich Haderlie, and their fourchildren. It had been four years since we left Switzerland. Anna and her family hadbeen living in our old home and had written to us a year previous about losing theirproperty, of her husband becoming a member of the church, and of their great desireto come to Zion.

To help them emigrate to America, Jacob was able to turn into the Salt Lake TithingOffice one load of oats and two four hundred pound hogs in exchange for theiremigration fees. All the arrangements for this transaction were made in Salt LakeCity.

With permission from the captain of the company, Jacob was able to bring Anna andher family in his wagon. She was the happiest woman to be able to come to Zion andbe united with the family again. Anna always thought a great deal of Jacob and wasglad he was there to meet them. He encouraged them in the gospel and told them howthings were in our new home. Before departing she made him bathe in the river whileshe boiled his clothes to rid them of lice.

They averaged 20 to 30 miles a day on their trek across the plains. Of the two muletrain, they were the first to leave, thus having the advantage of good feed and a choiceof camping sites. The others were ox teams, four or eight animals to each wagon.There were also three men in a white top buggy traveling with them. One of them wg»-a son of the Prophet Joseph Smith. It was a long hard Journey. After crossing the Bigand Little Sandy Rivers, Anna's little girl died. They placed her in a food supply boxand buried her along the trail. This was a very trying experience for them. Later afterthey had Just crossed the Bear River and were approaching Echo Canyon, another ofAnna's girls, Emily, died. They didn't have a box to put her in so they wrapped her ina blanket and buried her by the trail. It was very hard for them to leave their dearEmily, but they had to go on with the company. Down through Emigration Canyonand to the great Salt Lake Valley they traveled. At lastthey came to rest in the tithing office corral, located where the Hotel Utah nowstands. People from a wide area came to welcome their loved ones. The teamsterswere released to return ^ their homes. Hiey arrived in Cache Valley on a Sunday, 15September 1866. You may guess how they were received. It was a Joyous occasion.John U. and Arma lived in Providence. He fanned and was also a very good carpenter.

This information was obtained from The ZoUinger Ancestry - Its History and People"The final compilation of this history is largely accredited to the perseverance of JesseJ. ZoUinger, River Heights, Utah, and to members of the family who assisted. Most ofthis was written from the memory of the son. Jacob ZoUinger, who lived in Providence,Utah, to the grand age of 97. He died in July 1942. In between 1934 and 1940 herelived the many rich experiences of his long and eventful life as he told them to hisgranddaughter, Bethea ZoUinger Dale, who wrote it down in long hand.*«*««*****«

islDricgmphgThe Zollinger Coat of Arms Illustrated left was drawn by an heraldic artistfrom information officially recorded in ancient heraldic archives. Documentationfor the Zollinger Coat of Arms design can be found in Slebmacher's Wappenbuch,Vol. 71, p. 74. Heraldic artists of old developed their own unique languageto describe an individual Coat of Arms. In their language, the Anns (shield)is as follows:

"In g. auf gr. Dreiberg eine H Leiter mit drei Sprosscn, die oberenEnden der Leiterbaums sind hakenformig nach aussen gebogen."

When translated the Arms description Is:"In gold: on a green mound of three hills a black ladder with threerungs, the upper ends in the form of hooks bent outward."

Above the shield and helmet is the Crest which is described as:Mannesrumpf, Kleldung wie Schild, mit H gestulpter g. Mutze."

A translation of the Crest description is:"The body and head of a m.in, clothing as the shield, with a goldcap turned up bljck."

Family mottos are believed to have originated as battle cries in medievaltimes. A Motto was not recorded with the Zollinger Coat of Anns.

Individual surnames originated for the purpose of nore specific identification.The four primary sources for second names were: occupation, location, father'sname and personal characteristics. The surname Zollinger appears to be locatlonalin origin, and is believed to be associated with the Swiss and Germans, meaning,"one who came from Zollingen." The supplementary sheet Included with thisreport is designed to give you more information to further your understandingof the origin of names. Different spellings of the same original surnameare a cowon occurrence. Dictionaries of surnames indicated probable spellingvariations. The most prominent variations of Zollinger are Zolliker andZoel1iker.

Information available to us indicates that in 1972 there were less than 3S0 headsof households in the United States with the old and distinguished Zollinger name.The United States Census Bureau in 1970 estimated that there wore 3.1 per'^onsper household, which means thot fewer than 1005 people in the iJnited State'.bear the Zollinger name. In comparison, some of the most coimnon family namesare shared by over two million people.

This report does not represent individual lineage or your family tree andno genealogical representation is intended or implied.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF BERTHA SCHIESS HADERLIE

This was written by Bertha for Camp Port Wall of Daughters of Utah Pioneers ofUtah County, Lehi, Utah. She came to Utah in 1876.

I, Bertha Schiess Haderlie, was bom October 9, 1868 in Herisau, Appenzell,Switzerland, the daughter of John Schiess and Anna Barbara Kerstiener (Kuersteiner).

My parents were very religious people. My father went from one church toanother but none seemed to satisfy him. His sister wanted him to Join theAfrican Church and go to Africa, but lots of immigrants had joined this churchand had never been heard from. I had a brother that was full of mischief. In the

African Church, they took boys and girls that were mean and tied them on abench and beat them till the blood came. My mother said, "Oh, please don't gothere.** My father said, **Oh where can I find the right religion where my familycan be happy?**

Father was haying one day, and while he was resting, he saw two well-dressedmen coming. They came and spoke to him and told him they were Missionariesfrom Utah and were preaching the true everlasting Gospel that no man can besaved without being baptized for the remission of sins. My fiather knew^immediately that it was the true gospel. He came and told Mother. She said, *1will wait and see. You have tried so many Religions.** The next day &ther andmy sister were baptized, but my older brother said he would wait until motherjoined. My father was very happy now.

The next day my mother came downstairs and ran a large fdlver into her big toe.She surely suffered, and was bedfiast. The Elders promised her that if she wouldbe baptized she would walk home. It was around Christmas time, and theElders had to break the ice to get a hole to baptize her in. It was two miles fromher home, and they dcarried her there, but she walked home. That was atestimony to my parents. They were so happy that they had found the truegospel.

Father had a large home and orchard which he sold when we came to America.The house had three stories. There were two weave cellars, one apple cellar, acider cellar, and a large bam. In the orchard there were 175 cherry, apple,pear, and prune trees. He also owned two pieces of timber land.

My parents were very good to the poor and those in need of help. When theElders came they alwajrs had the best room in the house, and mother washedtheir clothes. Every time they left, father gave them a piece of silver. Father

61

y

Page 92: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

helped four families to come to America besides his own family. He only had$3.00 left when he landed in Utah. This was in 1876 when I was still seven yearsold.

Lots of Mormons left the Church and joined the Josephites. The house we livedin had belonged to some Josephites. There were holes sawed out of it where theJosephites could look out and see if any Mormons were coming. The house was atwo-room log house plastered with day, and when it rained, the plaster came offthe walls. Mother would put the trunks under the table and tell me to lay thereso I wouldn't get wet. However, these trials didn't make my parents wish theywere back in Switzeiiand. They were so happy in Utah with the true Church.

Mybrother Jacob and I went to school together. We couldn't understand Rngllahand the teacher couldn't understand us. The children would call us names, thenmy brother would take me by the hand and we would run for home. I went tomy girlfriend's home one day. Her mother gave me bread and preserves. Thismade me very happy.

Our schoolteacher was a very good woman. Every morning she prayed for theLord to preserve us from evil, so I went and told mother we were going to getsome preserves as our teacher had prayed for it. (This schoolteacher was afoothe town doctor, and was with me with my first four children.) ^

I will never forget the grasshopper fdague. The grasshoppers were so thick theydarkened the sun. The Primary children all went out to fight the hoppers. Themen dug trenches in the fields. Part of us children would get on one side of thetrench and part on the other and shoo the hoppers in it. Then the men withshovels would cover the trench over.

One year the alfalfa weevil came and took the hay crop. The men made rollersand went over the alfalfa and crushed the worms. That winter the cows just hadsticks to eat so they didn't give much milk. The Lord was with us and we didn'tgo hungry. m

When I was twelve years old my parents went to Salt Lake with an ox team tohave their endowments done. They were happy to have them. ^

When they started to build the Manti and St. George Temples, the people that ^my father had helped to come to this country went to work on these buildings.They received welfare orders for their work and they gave these to my father.He took them to the Bishop at Logan who sent him to the Church Farm to pick mout a cow. That is how the immigrants repaid father and how we obtained a cow.

62

Page 93: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

At that time milk was 5 cents a quart. The women would skim the cream off thepans of milk to make butter and then sell the blue milk. We were very happy tohave our own cow so we could have our own milk and butter. My father didn'tknow, however, that sometimes peoide turned in old cows for tithing, so hedidn't look at the teeth of the cow he bought and it turned out to be an old onethat soon died. That left us without milk again until someone sent father anorder to get another from the Church Farm. Father never complained. Hewould say, **These things are to try us to see how strong our faith is.** I amthankful I had such good parents that taught me to pray and to pay tithing.

Fast Day was on Thursda3rs. My fiather never missed a month of taking butter,flour, or eggs to the Fast Office to pay his Fast Offering. Every ten eggs he gothe would save one for tithing. I never remember the Relief Society Teacherscoming that mother didn't give them 10 cents (to help the poor) even if she hadto go without, herself.

I was married April 15, 1885, in the Logan Temple to Charles Henry Haderlie(Also known as Karl Heinrich Haederli). ( She became his second wife as Charleswas already married to her older sister Bid>etta (Anna Baxbara) Schiess. It musthave been hard on her to watch her husband get all dressed up and with a sackof candy in his pocket, go off to court her younger sister. Only certain menwere chosen to be polygamists. They were interviewed by their Bishops, Stak^Pres. and possible the Pres. of the Church. To each wife was bom 13 children.Those to Charles and Bertha were: Fredrick William, Charles Marion, CliffordMoroni, Carlett, Oliver Romeo, Roy Legrant, Ernest Lavon, Artella, InaBertha, Leo Lester, Delia Rosalie, Blanche Idell, Wanda Florence.)

The fall after I was married my husband was called on a mission to Germany andwas gone for 3 years. My first boy (Fred) was bom while he was gone. I livedwith my parents and was very happy, but when my boy was two years old mymother died. When my husband returned from his mission he and my sister (and their 4 children) moved to Star Valley.

(I Stayed in Providence and took care of my father for the next 12 years aftermother died, until the spring of 1900.)

My husband would come down to visit and bring wood from his saw mill for us tobum. He would get fruit and vegetables to take back to Star Valley to the otherfamily. The authorities kept trying to catch him.)

At midnight one night right after my third son (Cliff) was bom, while I was stillliving in Providence with my father, someone knocked on the door and said,'*Letus in!** I said, **My father is getting up.** They turned my father's bed over

63

y

Page 94: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

and looked in and under my bed. (They were trying to find my husband. Sincethey couldn't they were going to arrest me.) Then my father had to get witnessesand borrow a team and buggy and go to Logan to go my bonds until my baby wasold enough so I cotdd appear in court.One of the marshals stayed with me and he asked me some terrible questions. Icould smeU liquor on his breath. My two little boys and I were really scared. Iwas surely glad when my father came back. Then they had the nerve to say, *'Wehate to arrest a pretty young woman like you but the government says we haveto." When my son. Cliff, was eleven days old my father and I had to appear inOgden before the jury. My baby cried all the way down. My father fasted andprayed that aU would be all right.

When we got there we walked siicteen blocks in the hot sun to a girlfriend'splace. Then we went to the Court House. 1 almost fell with my baby I was sogive out. When we got to the waiting room it was so crowded we couldn't find aplace to sit. There was a murder case ahead of us. The marshal brought me adrink and said he would see if we could go first. They said we could.

They threw questions at me from all sides. The Lord was on my side however,and I never got crossed or mixed up. My father just stared when they asked himanything, and finally the interpreter said, "Are you dumb?" Father said, "No,just thinking." Then he answered all their questions all right and they turned us-loose.

We walked back to the depot. The train was just pulling out« but two conductorspulled me and my baby up the steps and father jumped on. I was nearly deadfrom the heat and excitement. My other two boys were really glad to see mewhen we got home.

I stayed with my father until the spring of 1900 when my fifth child, Oliver wasid>out 8 months old. Then 1 moved to Star Valley. I lived up in Tin Cup (by theother family) for threejrears and then moved to Thayne.

I was Relief Society yeacher for eighteen years. Ethel Humphrey and I went forthirteen years together. We never had a cross word with each other. We alwayshad to walk. Mrs. Jed Nelson and I went teaching one year and Lora Moser and Iwent for four years.

On my 80th birthday, October 9, 1949, my children held an open house for me.About one-hundred people called during the day. Many old friends came tocheer me up as best anyone can. I can still read and write and enjoy the radio.

THAYNE PIONEER PASSES AWAY LAST THURSDAYMrs. Bertha Haderlie, 82, of Thayne passed away Thursday, January 18, at thehome of Mrs. Estella Nebeker. Mrs. Haderlie had just returned a week ago from ^Lehi, Utah, where she spent a month visiting with her daughter, MabelLehmberg. She suffered a stroke in October 1948 and since that time has beenin a wheel chair. About six weeks ago she got worse and has been bedfast mostof the time since until her death.

Bertha Schiess Haderlie was bom October 9, 1868 at Herisau, Upenzel(AppenzeU) County, Switzerland, the daughter of Anna Baibara Kuersteiner(Kerstiener) and John Schiess. She was the seventh child of a fEunily of ninechildren and the last of the family to pass away.

Her family was: Anna (died as child), John "K', Anna Barbara, Hans Jacob, Emil(died as child), Heinrich (died as child). Bertha, Otto (died as child), Emma (diedas child)Her parents, like the pilgrim fathers who sought a purer religion, were of a veryreligious nature, and were ever seeking to find the true religion ofthe Maater. In the fall of 1874 two Mormon missionaries, the late Rulon S. Wells

and companion visited the Schiess home in their native land. Their messageseems to have had a familiar sound where upon thorough further investigation,the parents of Bertha applied for baptism and were baptized in the winter. Itwas necessary to cut a hole in the ice to perform the sacred ordinance. Theywere now very happy for they knew they had found the true religion.

In a year or so the Schiess family sold their lovely home and their large orchardin Switzerland to obtain sufficient money to join the group of immigrants whowere coming to America. They endured many hardships incident to the travel ofthat day, and arrived in Utah in the autumn of 1876 with but $3.00 as their cashassets in their possession. At that time Bertha being but 7 years old perhapslittle realized the great sacrifices and hardships yet to beset her life's journey.On their arrival the family located at Providence, Utah. Bertha's formaleducation was very limited, but she had a beautiful home life by reason of herparents being devoutly religious. Her early impressions in the home were madeby precept and example of her parents, and during the formative period of hercharacter she learned the importance of prayer and the strict observance of theSabbath Day. Her parents were perhaps among the most lojral tithe payers oftheir day. Honesty and charity were two virtues believed and practiced withgreat scrutiny. Bertha was taught at an early age that chastity was a pricelessvirtue. As she grew to maturity her conduct was always above reproach. Shewas very popular among the younger set because of her jovial disposition anSPpersonal charm. The chuckle of her laughter and the twinkle in her eye was liketonic to the downcast. She loved dean fun.

She with the Swiss Choir when she lived in Providence. Also her brothersand sisters sang Swiss songs together.

On April 15, 1885, Bertha was united in marriage to Charles Henry Haderlie inthe Logan Temple. Thirteen children were bom to this union. Eight boys andfive ^Is all of whom survive but Frederick, the oldest son who passed away in1914. er-

The autumn following her marriage, her husband was called to fill a mission inGermany. Bertha lived with her parents in Providence, Utah, during the threeyears of his absence. In the first year of his absence her son Frederick was bom.About a year after the return of her husband. Bertha's mother passed away. Shecheerfully assumed the duties of housekeeping for her father and the care of herfamily until about 1900 when her hu^and moved her and their children to StarValley locating on the Haderlie ranch on Tin Cup Creek. With privations incidentto the pionfser life of this valley she managed to keep her children dean, wdldressed, and well fed, many times depriving herself of the small comforts thatshe was so badly in need of. About 1903 her husband, desiring to expand his

67

Page 98: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

sawmill business, moved Bertha and her family to Thayne, Wyo. where with thehelp of their boys they operated a ranch and sawmill for many years. During all ^these years of new locations and readjustments she never fedled to comply withthe first great commandment, to **multiply and replenish the earth and tosubdue it.** m

l^th resolute mind and an unwavering faith she cared for her children andprepared meals for a number of years for hired men her husband employed in his ^sawmill at Thayne. Those were the years that would test the ingenuity andpatience of any homemaker, but throu^ all these years her home was always ahome for the weary traveler, meeting her guests with a smile and cheerf^ word ^and invitation to partake of the hospitality so characteristic of her home. Noone ever went away from her home hungry if she was aware of it, ^Notwithstanding that, many times there was a scant supply for her own needs.

When her children had all reached maturity, she moved from her home on thefarm into the cozy little home provided for her by her children. There sheperformed another great mission, for at the death of their mother, she playedthe role of mother and grandmother to her son Clifford's three small children(Eugene, Lamar, and Hazel) the youngest of whom was only three years aid.Hazel the baby girl never lacked the care of her own mother. And the three ^small children received the same devoted attention she had so patiently givraher own flesh and blood. These kind acts and services did not go unrewarded foras the children matured they were especially attentive and rendered many hours ^of service to her.

She soon made many friends in town and was lovingly known as *Xjrandma ^Haderlie** by old and young. Though she had never had academic training, by theapplication of the knowledge she received in the university of hard knocks, andby practice and experience, she could equal or even excel many of her sex in theart of cooking excellent foods. It seemed her stock of treats never becamewholly exhausted, for to enter her home was at once an invitation to enjoy some ^of her fine foods. Her specialty was mairing doughnuts. She won several prizesat the Lincoln County Pair.

As the toils and hardships of her colorful life tugged away at the body tissue andas old age became apparent, one visiting her was astounded to note how herspirit remained so very youthfrd. ^

in her religious life she was very devout and though her home and children wereher first consideration, she found time to give service to her church, serving as aRelief Society Teacher for 18 years, many times flwHing it necessary for her towalk to the homes she visited, for want of better transportation facilities. She r

68

n

Page 99: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

had great fiedth in the priesthood, frequently calling in the Elders during theillnesses of her children and her own afOictions.

On October 7, 1948, she suffered a paral3rtic stroke leaving one side of her bodyalmost helpless. Since that time she has had the close attention of her childrenand friends, making every effort possible to bring comfort and happiness to her.No money or effort has been spared to lighten her burden. Her children havetruly lived the great commandment to **Honor thy father and they mother, thatthy days may be long." The last chapter of her life's history was completed whenon Thursday, January 18, 1951 she passed peacefully on to her reward at theage of 82 years, 3 months and 10 days.

She leaves to mourn her passing the following children: Clifford, Carl and Wanda(Mrs. Roy Call) of Afton; Bishop Oliver Haderlie, Charles and Roy Haderlie ofThayne; Mable (SArs. Walter Lehmburg) of Lehi, Utah; Blanche(Mrs. Frank Sibbetts), Ka3r8vi]le, Utah; Ina (Mrs. Golden Erickson) Freedom; Delia(Mrs. Lee Dobaugh), Tuma, Arizona; Leo L. Haderlie, Anaheim, California; andErnest Haderlie, Cokeville, Wyoming; 38 grandchildren and 21 greatgrandchildren; and a host of friends throughout Star Valley.

It can truly be said of Bertha Haderlie, she died as she lived, a faithful Latt^-Day Saint. The following poem was written by her granddaughter -

Hazel Erickson.Oh grandmother dear, youVe gone away, The mittens you knit will be put away.To dwell in the heaven's above:

But you didnt go all alone, dear oneTou took with you all our love.

We know you are happy to be with GodAnd all of the ones you loved deanAnd when at night I look above,1*11 see your fiace bright andx^ear.

With all of our dearest treasures:

And the doughnuts you've baked for all of usWill be remembered with the greatest of

pleasure.

Oh! Joy is yours today, I*ltn sure.The memories of the past.The pain of fife is ended.You're with God at last.

Memories of Charles Henry Haderlie and Bertha Schiess Haderlie "(as remembered by their daughter Ina Erickson. and granddaughters Hazel H. Leavett, SybU H. Wamock.VaLoy H. Anderson, and Marilyn H. Lundberg.)

Charles Henry Haderlie had a farm and sawmill in Thayne where his second wife.Bertha Schiess. and their thirteen children lived. The boys and hired mill men usuallyran the mill and the boys ran the farm with Bertha as an overseer. Because the ^water to move the logs was from the same stream many farmers used for irrigatingtheir crops and since the crops were upstream, the sawmill couldn't run all the time.The water was there mostly in the fall and winter months.

Charles usually stayed in Freedom with Barbara (Babetta). That's where his mailingaddress, home and clothes were. It was where he was: in the bishopric, the constable,road overseer, a school trustee chairman, and where he had a big ranch. He did starta sawmill there too, but later moved it to different canyons to run. It was a portable „steam sawmill. Even after Babetta died he still stayed in Freedom. One of his sons(Gilbert and wife Phyllis) lived in his house and took care of him. Bertha wasn't usedto having him live with her and she was not in good health, so it was hard for her to ^take care of herself, without taking care of Charles too.

When Charles did come to Thayne to do some sawing, he liked all the equipment well (-»taken care of. All the tools needed to be hung in place. He always liked nice thingsand looked out for himself. He had nice clothes, a fancy team of horses and a cutter.He had a special building where he had the boys put the meadow hay to feed his tea»^ nwhen he came to Thayne. He did ride a horse sometimes, and then when cars came,he had a little Roundabout. He would sometimes come and take the girls over tochurch in this. Then he would go back to Freedom. Then sometimes he would comeback and get them. Ina never remembered her father attending any of theirentertainment or the Thayne church. (This would seem to be verified as in the churchpicture in 1910 of the members of the Thayne Ward, Bertha and all the kids werethere but Fred - he had died, and Wanda - she wasn't bom yet. Charles was not inthe picture.)

Berthaworked hard to raise her family. She had to cook for all her children plus thehired mill men. Somettaes when Charles was there he would invite any men at thesawmill to come to dinner. Oliver told that he remembered often sitting aroundwatching his dad, hired men and others from the mill eating dinner. (The grown upsate, then the kids got to eat what was left.) He would watch his father encouragingthe men to eat another piece of meat or cake even if it was the last piece. Oliver saidthe kids never went hungiy but often times didn't get to have the "good** things of thedinner. Oliver never complained about the food. He was always glad to get any. Hewas very patient and never did any mouthing.

TTie family always had a large garden and chickens (clucks). Ina and Bertha took careofthese. They always had plenty ofeggs and ftyers to eat. Hie other girls helped dothe housework and dishes. The boys worked hard on the farm. They also trappedanimals, hunted and got wood from the canyons to help make ends meet. The boysdidn't have any overshoes. When they went to the canyons they would wrap

^ gunnysacks around their shoes and tie them with twin string.

Bertha didn't ever sew for her family. She would knit socks for the boys after they^ went to bed by the light of the coal oil lamp. She mended, but hired neighbors to sew

dresses for her daughters. She would pay them with eggs or chickens. Sometimes thegirls would work for the neighbors to pay for the sewing. y

For entertainment the children would play, swim, fish, ski, ice skate, play games suchas: fifty cents, homemade cards, flinch, outdoors - prisoners' base, kick the can, stesil

„ ticks, Ginnie, Mumble peg, Hop scotch, and would make up songs.

Once in the fall of the year Bertha had no food to feed her family. She prayed about^ it. She was directed to get up early. There, on the roof of her house, roosting between

the two chimneys, were four great big sage hens. To her knowledge they had neverroosted there before. She got Cliff, who was sharp with the gun. He only had threeshots (shells for the shotgun). He did get all four of them. Two of them by shootingbetween the two hens. Tliey provided food for her family.

«-• Hie family was very blessed. They didn't have a lot of broken bones. Leo had a brokenarm from falling off a horse. The family did however, have their shgire of childhooddiseases. One year because of sick kids, the only contact Bertha had with any women,was when a few of the neighbors would walk to see her. She had really goodneighbors. Carl had the whooping cough one summer. He lived outdoors so the restof the family wouldn't be exposed and get it. In 1920 Oliver got the flu and nearly diedfrom it. Ina was working for a fantiily once and got the whooping cough from themrShe brought it home to the rest of the family. Nine of them had it at one time,including Bertha. Wanda and Delia nearly died from it. They used pickle barrels for

" bathrooms since they were all so sick and couldn't get to the outhouse. One FebruaryCarl had the mumps. L.H. (Luther) was staying there with them. Carl had a highfever and was very delirious. L.H. administered to him and he got better.

When L.H. came from his mission he stayed in Thayne and helped run the sawmill for^ a while. Charles Heniy was older and had rheumatism bad and a loss of hearing and

couldn't help run it. None of the Thayne boys were really interested in running themill then. Roy did for a while. Later the equipment was sold to Leslie Izatt.

The polygamy life was hard for the children as well as the adults. Their lives couldhave been a lot different if they had had a mother and father with them all the time.

„ To be a polygamist the Bp had to recommend the man. They had to go before thestake president and be active in church and able to support two families. Charlesdidn't court Bertha much. Babbitt was expecting a baby when Charles consented to

„ heed the call of the brethren to become a polygamist. He had Babetta choose from alist of girls who his other wife would be. She chose her sister. Bertha. He got alldressed up and with a sack of candy as a gift, went down the road to court Bertha.

(m Grandpa and Grandma Schiess liked Charles and encouraged Bertha to many him.When Hazel was living with Bertha, she said they talked some about her early life andmarriage. Bertha told her at the time, she had a boyfriend that she liked a lot, but

w her folks strongly encouraged her to many Charles. They thought it would be better71

for Babetta's sister to be the second wife, rather than have it be a stranger.

Bertha lived in Providence with her father for 12 years after Charles moved his firstfamily to Star Valley, because of the problem over polygamy and because her motherhad died. She stayed to take care of her father. She became very close with herbrother John K. Schiess who also stayed in Providence and later took over the familyhouse and farm. Charles often came in the fall of the year to get food and fruit forthe Star Valley family. The children were used to not having a father around. Oncewhen Charles came down Cliff and Carl ran out the back door wondering what 'thatman' was doing in the house with their mother.

When the second family did move to Star Valley in 1900, they lived by the first familyin Tin Cup for three years. Then Charles built a saw mill in Thayne. He rented aplace just north of Alva Heap's ranch, where the highway is now, for the secondfamily. In about 1905 Charles built them a nice new two story home just east of SaltRiver - the old homestead - by the saw mill. It had a pimip out the kitchen door tothe south so they didn't have to carry water from a spring any more. There were threebedrooms upstairs. One big one on the north with three beds in it for the boys. Oneroom on the southeast with one bed for four of the older girls. Two slept at the top,two at the bottom with their feet in each others faces. Another bedroom to thesouthwest where Bertha and Charles slept when he was there. The rest of the timeWanda slept with her mother. For mattresses they used straw ticks filled with fireshstraw every fall.

Bertha's father John Schiess came to Star Vcdley in the summers to stay with his'children after he retired. Charles made a small room for him close to the house inThayne. Later when the house in Tin Cup burned down it was moved down there forthat family to live in until they could build another home. The little shanty lookingbuilding up on Star Valley Ranch was once a bedroom on the Haderlie house inThayne.

One of Bertha's greatest hardship and sorrow was the unfortunate illness, sufferingand death of her oldest son, Fred. He got what they called the white swelling. Uttlechips of the bones in his upper arm would fester and work their way out of the flesh.He was between 14 and 16. He got really, really sick. He would have liked to leave hispainful sick body. He was administered to and they demanded he get better. He livedanother ten years in enormous pain. He got brights disease (liver) and nearly losthis eye sight. In 1914 he died. He was very smart and learned to play the violin andaccordion by himself. Being the oldest he had been the one to really help Bertha andhold the family together. He was like a father to the rest of the family. Oliver told ofhim dressing up as Santa Claus. He would ask the kids if they had minded theirmother the last year. If Bertha said, "Not all the time," he would give them awhipping. Oliver said he never wanted "Santa Claus" to come.

Charles Heniy got $4000. from his father's estate when he died (1920). He bought a mmodel T Ford for each of his wives. Hiey were about $500. each. One time Oliver droveBertha's car to Logan to take Bertha to go to the temple and visit with her familythat was still in Providence. She loved to go visit them as often as she could. Leo, r

72

Page 103: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

Wanda, and Ina went along this time to do baptisms in the temple and also visit. Asthey were coming back another car forced them off the road into a ditch. They gotstuck and had to stay in the car all night waiting for the road to get dry, and someoneto help pull them back on.

Charles had several different automobiles. He drove to California. He spent twodifferent winters in California trying to get carpenter work to help support hisfamilies. The doctor thought the warmer climate would help his rheumatism too.While there he took two plane rides trying to cure his hearing problem. Back thenthey thought the abrupt change of altitude would help cure problems with the ears.

After her family was all raised Bertha continued to have chickens and walked to townfrom the farm with her bucket of eggs to trade for other things she needed. After herson Cliffs first wife died, she moved into his house there in Thayne. She still hadchickens to help with her livelihood. She tried to help with Cliffs three children,Eugene, Lamar and Hazel, as much as she could. She would often make large pots ofbeans and soup and cany over to them. They were living in the back of his car garage.Later after Cliff remarried, Hazel went to live with Bertha. That was really hard forboth Hazel and Bertha. Bertha had worked hard, raised her 13 children, and now hadanother child to raise. When Bertha needed something fixed or built, she would sendword down to Charles. He would come up on the mail wagon and fix it or mcike it forher.

In the latter part of her life Bertha, because of age and some bowl problems, didn't likfiLto get very far from her little house. She didn't attend church meetings but still had atestimony and always paid her tithing. She was especially proud of her son Oliverwhen he became bishop of the Thayne Ward. She always referred to him as "MyBishop".

After Bertha had her stroke and was in her wheelchair she stayed with her daughtersin Utah for a while but wanted to come back home so she lived about three years withHazel. Most of the time she was bedfast which made her have a cross disposition.Hazel's son Eric helped get her into a chair sometimes and push her out to watchwhat was going on.

Bertha did a lot of knitfmg in her life. She knit socks and many, many mittens. Atone time she had 40 pair. She displayed them all on her table for a picture.

As a child mytMarilyn) memories of Grandma Haderlie Wcis that of: gathering Yarrofirom the hills to take to her to dry and use as a tea; helping dad (Oliver) sack alfalfaleaves to take for her to feed her chickens; yummy doughnuts hot firom her kitchen;needing yam for a school project and my friends and me going to "Grandma Haderlie"(as she was known by eveiyone) to get some leftover yam firom her mitten knitting;stopping at her house after church for delicious dinners, usually soup and trimmings.

I remember when she was older and couldn't take care of herself, the family hired acouple ladies to come stay with her at different times. One of them had red hair(grandma never liked red hair) and real thick glasses. She wore a lot of make up.

73

Page 104: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

Being real young, I always thought she was real scary, maybe even a witch. I wasafraidshe would poison my grandmother. Grandma diedwhen I had just turned eightyears old.

I don't remember Grandpa Haderlie at all. He died when I was about two. We have apicture of him standing with Mom, Milton and I in front of our truck. There was snowon the ground. This was probably the last picture taken of him before he died (19 Nov.1943). I remember Mother telling me that he would walk up around our way going toThayne. If the folks would see him coming, they would go get him. If not, when hegot to our place they would take him over to town in our automobile.

The following are VaLoy's memories of Grandma (Bertha) and Grandpa (Charles)Haderlie.

When I was little Grandma would tell mother (Tressa) to come visit her but not tobring VaLoy because she gets into eveiyttiing. Later when I was older she had mecome stay with her on Saturday nights once in a while. I'd help her gather eggs. Onetime I picked up all the little white plastic eggs she had in the nests to encourage thehens to lay. She had to take them all back out. I remember she'd gather the eggs andput them in her folded up apron. She gave me some money and I'd go to a movie. Inthe morning she'd always fix me hash brown potatoes, eggs, toast, hot chocolate. Italways tasted so good. Then the folks would pick me up to go to church. She'd alsogive me money to go to Uncle Charles' store and buy some candy.

When we went and ate at her house as a family she'd always fix soup and all otherkinds of food. She'd always have her famous doughnuts. The kids got to eat thedoughnut holes. After Dad (Oliver) became bishop, she was so proud of him. She'dalways say. This is Mv Bishop."

When dad killed a pig he would take her the head and she would make head cheesewith some of it. I never was brave enough to try it.

When grandma was older she had false teeth and couldn't chew apples very well.She'd take her teeth out. cut the apple in half and take out the seeds. Then shewould take a spoon and dig out the pulp of the apple and eat it. She put the peelingsin her lap. Once while^oing this she forgot her teeth were in her lap and when sheemptied the peelings into the stove, she burned up her teeth.

I remember how she made us mittens eveiy winter. She always made dad a pair towear inside his leather gloves. Once she made a pair for Marilyn when she was justlittle. They turned out too small so I used them on my doll. I still have them.

Grandma was 'grandma' to everyone in Thayne. Everyone called her "GrandmaHaderlie." I remember some kid once said something about his Grandma Haderlie. Itold him she wgisn't his grandma she was mine.

Grandma was a very clean person. She always had everything in its place. She hadlots of old things to look at. Grandma gave me some Pyrex pie dishes, pillow cases

74

Page 105: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

made from flour sacks, and the 1 gl£iss goblet that was left from a set of 8 dad hadbought and given her before he got married. She always wore a clean apron over herdress. It was the big kind that covered most of her dress.

I don't remember much about Grandpa Haderlie (Charles) other than he lived inFreedom with one of his sons. When he came up to our house he would have pinkpeppermint candy in his pocket and would give us one.

These are Sybil's memories of Grandpa and Grandma Haderlie.

Grandpa Haderlie was a tiny man, I think. I remember being as tall as he when I wasquite a young girl. Since I grew a whole foot taller from 13 to 17, I assume he musthave been really short. I remember his walking up to our house along the road fromFreedom, to visit and have dinner with us a few times. He always had all day suckersfor us in his pocket. I wish I knew why he never did live with Grandma. I think AuntBabetta died about the time I was bom, so I never knew her, but I do know that ourHaderlie grandparents didn't live together from the time my memory began.

Grandma Haderlie was very short also, but kind of plump. She had bunions on herfeet that caused her a lot of problems. She knit mittens by the hundreds. I still havea pair of red ones that she made me. She gave me a beautifiil pair of pink ones, withgreen and white stripes, and they were stolen from a pile of my books in a restroom atUSU when Iwas a student there... one ofthe real resets ofmy life! Bertha made k)tsof doughnuts, and gave them to everyone cu*0und. She was quite famous for them. Iremember that she went to a Haderlie reimion in Freedom once, but I never remember^seeing her in church, not even once. I don't know why it didn't occur to me to askDaddy why we didn't take her to church with us. Sometimes on Sundays when we'dstop at Uncle Charles' groceiy store to buy our weekly groceries (we only went to townin those days once a week - on Sunday most of the time) Grandma would come outand tell us that she had dinner all ready for us. We'd go eat, but I remember thatMama was always uncomfortable about doing it. Grandma would always have limabeans, and a potato dish she called "rooshty" or something like that. It was made ofgrated potatoes that were fried in fat and turned over all at once, so it was a lovelygolden brown. I loved her food.

She lived in that little ^o room house for all those years and went to an outsidetoilet. Her hair was a lovely shiny gray. She had a big 'iDureau" with about sixdrawers, and sometimes she'd show me what she had inside dozens of pairs ofbeautifully embroidered and crocheted pillow cases which she never used. I wonderwho inherited them? She had made some of them, and many of them were gifts toher. She always wore a long apron that hung about eis long £is her dress. I think sheraised a flock of chickens sometimes out in a shed behind her little house. Uncle

Charles kept her supplied with food. I don't remember just when she moved into thebigger house (same spot of ground - more rooms added on) so, maybe it was while Iwas away at college. She died while I was on my first mission so I didn't even go toher funeral.

LIFE SKETCH OF ANNA BARBARA SCHIESS HADERLIE

Anna Barbara Schiess was bom on the 27th of November 1860, at Herisau, Appenzell,Switzerland. She was the daughter of John U. Schiess and Anna Barbara Kuersteiner.Brothers are Jacob and John, and three that died in Switzerland as children wereEmil, Heinrich, and Otto. Sisters - Bertha and two that died in Switzerlcind aschildren. They had been given the same name as she, so when they had their templework done, they had to give them other names as three couldn't have the same namein one family.

Mothers's people were very religious and they kept the Sabbath very strictly. Everyworking tool was put away on Saturday night and everj^ing was done. Cooking wasalso done for Sunday so there would be no need for work on Sunday. They would goto church and in between the music (singing), read the Bible. They were talking ofjoining some church that would have taken them to another country, Afirica, but theystudied it out and her mother could not see that it was the church they wanted. Sothey kept on going to the one they had belonged to. In time the elders came and

^ talked to them about the gospel. Then they Joined The Church of Jesus Christ ofLatter-day Saints. She also got her schooling while in Switzerland. She did a lot ofweaving of cloth. She got so she was very good at it. They had a very nice home. It

m was a large house and a beautiful place. The yard was fixed up with nice trees,scrubs, flowers, and grass. The basement of the house is where they had their weavtoglooms. There she spent a lot of time.

She was sixteen years old when they came to America. They went from Herisau toRotterdam, then to New York. They were all very sick on the boat. They arrived in

« Providence, July 15, 1876.

She went to work for Moss Thatcher who lived in Logan and was an Apostle. Sheworked for them for several years to make her own living. She went with two fellowsthat were not Mormons. Her father and mother would not let her go with them. Shesoon met Charles Henry Haderlie and went with him. Hiey were married on June

" 30,1881, in the Old Endowment House in Salt Lake City, Utah. Hiey were married byJoseph F. Smith. They traveled by team and wagon from Providence to Salt Lake City.They tied their team where the Hotel Utah now stands.

After their marriage they made their home in Providence for a while. On February 6,1882, Heniy Walter was bom. On May 16, 1883, Lillie was bom. They were veryhappy. June 16, 1884, John was bom. The first years of their mairied life was ahappy time. Father was very good to her. They surely had their hands full. Theywould have to let all three babies sleep with them as they only had one room and one

" bed. After that father started thinking of taking another wife. He had his mind ontwo girls. One was mother's younger sister. Bertha. Mother told him if he had to

^ have another wife, to choose her sister, so he did. They were married on April 15,1885, in the Xx>gan Temple.

„ That fall, October, 1885, father was called on a mission to Europe. He left on October11, 1885. Mother was expecting another baby. It was a very hard thing to see him go

77

Page 117: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

and leave her, but she put her trust in the Lord. November 20, 1885, David Arnoldwas bom. She had to work very hard to make a living. She had a cow and some ^chickens, and she raised a garden to help out. After father left for his mission. AuntBertha, father's second wife, came to live with mother. They had a lot of good timestogether. They would have some of their friends come and spend the evenings withthem.

July 14, 1886, Fredrick William was bom to Bertha. They would take turns going toLogan to do washings to make money. They would do it on the board by hand. Onewould tend the children and nurse the babies while the other one was gone to work.Hiey would walk a distance of three miles there and three miles back and only get 40 ^cents a day. They would knit long stockings for McCallisters for 40 cents a pair. Theywould stay up half of the night and knit and sew. With the help of the Lord they were ^able to make a living. The grandparents also helped to clothe and feed the childrenwhile father was on his mission.

Father returned on the 27th of June, 1888, but could only stay a week because themarshals were after him for having two wives. Father went to Caribou Idaho, to workthat summer. During this time he filed on a piece of land three and one-half mileseast of Freedom, Wyoming, up Tin Cup. October, 1888, mother and her family movedto Freedom, Wyoming. They were seven days on the road. Every time they came to abad place in the road mother and the four children would get out of the wagon. They ^had two cows tied to one of the wagons and a box of chickens fastened to the back ofthe other wagon. The road was very bad, steep hills to climb and sometimes slidingplaces to go over. You might say it was Just a trsiil. Mother would put rocks under the—back wheels of the wagon so the horses could rest and so the wagon would not goback down the hill and pull the horses. Tlien they would go a little further. Shewould lock the wheels again on the steep hills. ^

The two grcindfathers had been out and built a log room for them to live in. It wasbuilt of big knotty logs. They would split up logs in long pieces for chinks then they ^would plaster with lime and sand. The roof was made with small poles. Then haywas put on the poles. Dirt was put on last. The roof was done. They had a roughlumber floor. She went through many hardships and trials. Grandpa Haderlie andher brother John moved them to their new home which was about 4 miles from town.Her brother John staye^with them part of the first winter and did chores for her, asfather was away working most of the time. After John went home Mother and thechildren were very scared of the Indians .

Febmaiy 20, 1889, her mother past away. She didn't know anything about it for amonth. They didn't dare tell her because it was just before one of her children wasbom. Father hid the letter telling about her death. She couldn't figure out why shedidn't get a letter from home.

For years she would have to put the children to bed early on Saturday night so shecould wash and diy and iron their clothes for Sunday. Father would have to take off"his work shirt to get it washed. 6 April 1889 Luther Herman was bom. Father wouldgo to church and take Heniy and Ullie with him.

78

Page 118: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

Mother had a kind and loving personality. She would sing and read to her children.She stacked hay in the summer before Annie was bom, September 4, 1890. Fatheronly hauled a small amount of hay and couldn't get any one to help. As soon as hecould, he built two more rooms on the one they already had. One was upstairs for theolder children's bedroom. The other was a bedroom for father and mother and smallerchildren.

Mother would stay up until twelve o'clock to mend and knit. She would have Lilliestay with her. She would lean on the table and go to sleep. Then mother would have

I-, to wake her up. Mother hated to be alone.

At one time there was no sale for butter so mother would put it in a barrel and putf-t salt brine over it until the next churning,. Then she would take the brine off and put

in a new batch of butter then put the brine back on. In the fall she made it intopound molds. Father took it to Montpelier and sold it. It sold for about 10 cents apound. He could buy a few things for winter such as factory calico, a little outingflannel for the new baby, a lamp glass, blue denims and a few other things theyneeded.

May 9, 1892, Ida May was bom. The Indiains would come. If they saw the menfolkswere away, they would go in mother's garden and pull up her garden stuff and throw it

" on the ground and say, "No good". Mother would say, **1 will call father," and theywould laugh and say, "Oh no, him away off." They weren't so bold when the childrengot older. When Heniy was there, he wasn't scared of them. They would go on and

" not bother her. One time mother had gone for the cows. When she came back there^was a big buck Indian standing in the doorway. She wanted to go into the house tothe children. He wouldn't let her, so she went to the wood shed and got the axe and

" said she would use it. He laughed at her, but he went away. What courage it took tobe so brave. 27 November 1893 Lula was bora, on her mother's birthday, which was a

^ grand birthday present. 10 March 1896, EdwardWinfield was bom. He didn't do too" well, not like the others. November 22, 1897, Wilford Leroy wcis bom. In May 1898

the family had whooping cough. They were very sick. Edward took pneumonia and^ died from it. May 31, 1898. He was buried above the house northwest on the hill. A

little chokecheny bush was planted by the little grave. Later the casket was moved tothe cemetery. December 31, 1899, Austin Uoyd was bom. He drowned on June 16,

„ 1901, in an irrigation ^iiitch back of the house. Father had come from the field.When he saw someone come from town with the mail, he went out to meet them. Hiebaby slipped out of the house behind him as he went out. The bridge had a hole womin it by the horses going over it. The baby fell through into the ditch. He was missed.Father noticed the commotion, started looking and found him in the ditch. He heldhim up to show he was found. The head gate stopped the baby from going into Tin

(-1 Cup Creek. They worked over him for some time to no avail. TTien mother and fatherwashed and laid him out. That was a veiy hard trial for mother.

m Aunt Bertha moved from Providence, Utah, to Freedom, Wyoming in the fall of 1900.She lived in the old log house. Mother lived in the new one they had built for her.Things didn't go very well. It was hard to make a living. 15 September 1903, HazelLaFem was bom. Mother always had to work veiy hard. She washed her clothes on

In 1903 Heniy went down to Snake River Valley to live. She worried about him a lot.Then David finally went down there and stayed too.

Grandpa Schiess lived with mother's family for a while. When Aunt Bertha moved toTha5me, he moved over with her.

She shut the door, then she and her twodaughters, Annie and Lula, and sons, Luther and Wilford, hurried and took a strawtick and some quilts out on the snow in front of the house and put the two smallchildren, LaFem and Gilbert on them in their night clothes while they got out asmany things, as fast as they could. The house was all on fire above. It was a bittercold morning. A cold wind was blowing and about 18 inches of snow. Father and therest of the family were away. The nearest neighbors were a half mile away. (Mother'sbrother, Jacob, and his family.) By the time they got there they couldn't get into thehouse. He took mother and her family into his home. It took mother a long time tSLget over the fire. There were things she lost that she always missed. She lived in oneroom in her brother's home for a week. Then father got a room that grandpa Schiesshad lived in at Thayne and moved it to the ranch. We also fixed up a sheep wagonand wood shed for a kitchen. It was so cold that the food would get cold as soon as itwas put on the plates. The family went through an awfiil winter with sickness and acold house.

In the spring Father and the boys went to the canyon and got out logs and had a newhome built by the next winter. In June 1912, Luther went on a mission to England.Mother worked very hard to keep him while he was there. He came home in thesummer of 1914.

sealed to them on June 8, 1927. Mother's children have all been through the templebut one. She was surely proud to have them grow up to be good men and woman andto do work in the church.

She always loved to have a nice garden and small fhiit such as strawberries, currents,and raspberries. She also loved to have flowers, trees and grass around her home. Nomatter how hard things were, she never complained. She always made the best ofthings.

She wouldwalk 3 1/2 miles in the summer to do her teaching. Her youngest son Gilbert wouldtake her when she had no other way to go. He took her many times.

Whenever there was sickness or a new baby coming in her family, she would send forSister Nelson to come. Until now mother had never had a doctor in her life. SisterNelson was a mid-wife.

Mother and Aunt Susan, Uncle Jacob's wife, really did enjoy one another's company.They would take some mending or sewing and go to each other's place to visit. WhenAunt Susan was at mother's, when she was ready to go home, mother would walk partway home with her and they would talk. When mother was over at Aunt Susan's, shewould walk part way home with mother. They lived about a half mile apart. ThejL..were really a comfort to each other. If they had any sickness they would help eachother as much as possible. Hiey lived there for many years. It was always the same.Uncle Jacob's family moved there a very few years after mother came. Wheneveranything went wrong at mother's. Uncle Jacob was the first one they would go for. Hewas always ready to lend a helping hand.

Mother was very fortunate in having all of her married children living not too faraway. Heniy and David were the farthest. TTiey both lived close to Idaho Falls, Idaho.

July 16, 1929, mother was operated on, the first time she was ever to a doctor. Shewas in the L.D.S. Hospital in Idaho Falls. Idaho. After that she was never very well.She was sick(stomach 5&icer) all winter. Henry, Dave and Ruth went to see her inMarch 1930.

JOHANNESS (JOHN) SCHIESS and ANNA BARBARA KUERSTEINER

John Schiess Anna K. Schiess

Father: Hans (John) Ulrich SchiessMother: Maria Magdalina DiemWife: Anna Barbara Kuersteiner

Father: Hans Jacob Kuersteiner

Mother: Anna Frehner (Fraehner)Children: Anna, (1857); John Kuersteiner, (1859): Anna Barbara, (1860); Hans Jacob.(1862):Einil,1864): Heinrich,(1866): Bertha. (1868): Otto, (1870): Emma, (1874)

Johanness (John) Schiess was bom 30 July 1829, in Herisau, Appenzil. Switzerland.He married Anna Barbara Kuersteiner, 1857 in Switzerland. She was bom 18 Dec.1834, in Gais, Appenzil. Switzerland. To them were bom nine children. Only four(John K.. Anna Barbara, Jacob, Bertha) lived to come to America, and Utah withtheir parents.

John and Anna were very religious people and they kept the Sabbath very strict. Everyworking tool was put away on Saturday night and eveiything was done and cookingwas also done for Sunday so there would be no need for work on Sunday. They wouldgo to church and in between the music (singing), read the Bible. They weren't reallyhappy with the church Sey were going to and so were searching for a different churchto join. John went from one church to another but none seemed to satisfy him. Oneday while haying, he was resting when he saw two well dressed men coming across thefield. They talked with him and told him they were missionaries from Utahrepresenting the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. They were preachingthe true and everlasting gospel that no man can be saved without being baptized fromthe remission of their sins. He knew immediately that it was the true gospel and areligion where his family could be happy. He and a daughter were baptized and wasveiy happy. Anna said she would wait and see what it was like before joining sinceJohn had tried so many religions.The next day while coining downstairs Anna ran a large sliver in her big toe. It wasveiy painful and she became bedfast. The elders promised her that if she would bebaptized she would be made well. It was around Christmas time. The Elders broke a

83

Page 123: Author: Marilyn Haderlie Lundberg Subject: Personal History Number of Pages

hole in the ice to baptize her. It was two miles from her home. They carried her there,but after being baptized she was able to walk home. That was a testimony to them.They were very happy.

John and Anna had a large home and orchard. The house had three stories. Therewere two weaving cellars, one apple cellar, a cider cellar, and a large bam. In theorchard there were 175 cherry, apple, pear, and prune trees. They also owned twopieces of timber land.

They were very good to the poor and those in need ofhelp. When the elders came theyalways had the best room in the house, and Anna washed their clothes for them.When they left, John always gave them a piece of silver to take with them.

The family immigrated to the United States in 1876 afterJoining the LDS religion, toJoin the other saints in Utah. They sold their home and land. Agenerous ^dreligious family, they financed the immigration of several families to the UnitedStates. They sailed across the ocean and then came to Salt Lake on the train. Thenthey went north to Providence Utah to make their home. When they got to Utah in1876, they only had $3.00 left.

John's mother, Maria Magdalina Diem, had died in Switzerland, so his father, Hans(John) Ulrich Schiess came with them to this country. As theywere traveling to Utahon the train, Hans Ulrich accidently fell offone day. After getting him back on the-train, a doctor there said he guessed he was worth patching up, so, he did take care ofhis cuts, scrapes and bruises. He lived with his family in Providence Utah. After twoyears. (1878) he died and was buried in the Providence CityCemeteiy.

Jolm bought land where he established a home, fruit trees, a garden, and a fewanimals. They also bought a piece of farm land north of town which they used as ameans of livelihood. Some of the Mormons in Providence had left the LDS church andJoined the Josephites. The home that John and Anna first Uved in had belonged tosome of these people. There were holes sawed out of it where the Josephites couldlook out and see ifany Mormons were coming. It was a two room log house plasteredwith clay. When it rain^ the plaster came off the walls. Anna would put the trunksunder the table to keep"5iem from getting wet. They were still glad they were here inUtah with the saints.

The grasshopper and alfalfa weevil came some simimers and ate the leaves off theplants. In the winter the cows Just had sticks to eat so they didn't give much milk.The Lordwas with them and they didn't go hungry.

On 14 Oct. 1880 John and Anna went with an ox team and wagon to Salt Lake tohave their endowments done in the Endowment House. Hieir children were sealed tothem in 1885 in the Logan temple.

When they started building the Manti and St. George Temples, the people that Johnhad helped come to this country got Jobs there. They received welfare orders for their

work and they gave them to him. He took them to the Bishop at Logan who sent himto the Church farm to pick out a cow. That is how the immigrants repmd him.

" Someone had turned in an old cow to the church for their tithing. John was sotrusting he didn't check this, so the cow soon died. That left them without milk (50 aquart) and butter until another family sent him a welfare order. Then he got another

^ cow.

^ Fastday was on Thursdays. John never missed a month of taking butter, flour, or eggsto pay his tithing and fast offering. Anna gave lOO to the Relief Society Teachers eachmonth to help the poor even if she had to go without herself. They loved the gospel

^ and taught their children to have a testimony, be prayful, and trust in the Lord.

Their daughter Baihara married Chcirles Heniy Haderlie in 1881. They had a home„ there in Providence. In 1885 it was decided that he was to become a polygomist.

Bertha, Barbara's younger sister had a bo3^riend that she liked very much. Herparents liked Charles Heniy and since Barbara said if Charles was to have another

m wife she would sooner it be her younger sister than someone else, they encouraged herto become his second wife. So they were married 15 Apr. 1885 in the Logan Temple.That fall Charles was called on a mission to Germany for almost 3 years. Both of his

f«i wives stayed together there in Providence. When he came back (1888) the marshalswere looking for polygimests, so he moved Barbara and her four children to Star Valley(Tin Cup Idaho). The two grandfathers. John Schiess and John Ulrich Haderlie, hadbeen out there and built a log room out of big knotty logs for them to live in. Charles-came to Providence with loads of wood from his saw mill for them to use as fuel. Hewould get fruit £ind etc. to take to his family in Star Valley. Bertha stayed with herparents until the summer of 1900 (12 years). Then she and her five children moved toTin Cup, too. Jacob and his wife Susan had also moved up there living only a halfmile from Charles and Barbara.

Anna died very suddenly (had a stroke - age 55) on 20 Feb. 1889. Bertha lived with,and took care of, John until moving to Tin Cup. Upon his retirement, John spent hissummers in Star Valley with his children and the winters in Providence with his otherson, John K. who had taken over the family home. He worked in the temple duringthe winter months. He was at his son's home in Freedom, W3roming when he died 2Aug. 1910. His son (Jacob) and son-in-law (Charles) each had one real good workhorse so they put them together as a team. John was put in a coffin and ice packedaround him. Then with this team and a wagon they brought him to Providence forservices and burial next to his wife.

ORIGIN OF THE SCHIESS FAMILY

The reason no older records can be found of so famous a family as the Schiess' is because they aredescended from a veiy outstanding family by the name of Muller.

A Hans Muller of Herisau was an enthusiastic cross-bowman.(this was prior to the introduction offirearms). He liked to shoot, so he took on the additional name of Schiess, which means shoot, so forsome time the family was known as Schiess-Mueller. These facts are borne out by coats of arms,newspaper articles and church records, also towncouncilminutes. This duel name was retained up toalmost the 17th Centuiy, when the name Mullerwas dropped.

Johannes Ulrich Schiess. bom 12 November. 1746, died 16 September 1817. Hewas a famous CatholicVicar, who founded a public libraiy and preparatory school, the first in Switzerland, to which camestudents from allover the world. He wrote many textbooks on diverse scholastic subjects.

The name is spelled in three different ways: Schuss. Scheuss. and Schiess. all pronounced and meaningthe same, shoot. They are all descended from Hans Muller. bom 1351. and who was a captain in theSwiss Guards, and also a member of the contonal council of Appenzell. From him descended an AltHans MuUer and a Jung Hans Muller, all ofwhom Uved sometime before 1533 AD. Some time before theend of the 16th centuiy the family divided into three lines: Black. Red, and White.

Johannes Schiess. because ofhis blackbeard and face, was known as Black Schiess. He worked hard,educated all his children, all ofwhom became scholars, office holders, ministers and all became well-to-do and wealthy.

Peter Schiess was a good Charley, liked eveiyone and everyone liked him. particularly those whoinhabited beer halls and taverns. They were mostfy soldiers, many becoming officers. Some acquteecL-wealth. Because ofhis red beard and face this branch ofthe family was known as the Red Schiess.

Joss Schiess. because ofhis blondbeard and face, was known as White Schiess. His descendents werelarge, kind-hearted and very religious, also well educated. Many became famous priests andministers.

The three main lines kept pretty much to themselves for sane time. In later years they intermarried tosome extent. Several of them became extremely wealthy having founded several large exporting firms, ^which stiU exist today. Most of them became army officers. Several became generals, which was ratherunusual because there are generals In the Swissarmy onlyin war times.

1802 John Ulrich Schiess was bom in Herisau. Switzerland. He and his father built a house on ^Nasseberg. Schwamber, five miles out of Herisau, on about forty acres of rDlUng hill land wher^ theycarried on dairying and linen weaving. He married Magdelina Diem, frxm which unionwas bom JohnU., Emil, Emma, and Louise. ^

1829 John U. Schiess married Arma Barbara Kursteiner, frxxn which union was bora John K.Barbara(Babetta), Bertha, and Jacob. They lived in the same house and did dairying and weaving of ^cloth for afirm in Herisau. the weaving being done in the basement of their home. |

1876 The family sold the farm and immigrated to the United States afl:er joining the L.D.S. Church, andthey settled in Providence. Utah where John U. died in 1878. Magdelina Diem had died in 18^ inHerisau Switzerland. Anna Barbara Kursteiner died and is buried in Providence. John Schiess died inFreedom. Wyoming, butwas brought toProvidence, Utah tobebiuried byhiswife.

HeraldicIf Aril ope'l their own unique language to describe an individual Coatof Arms. In their language, the Arms (shield) is as follows:

D azur au lion d'or, tenant un arc du meme en pal."When translated the Arms description is:

Blue; a gold lion, holding a gold bow placed vertically "Above the shield and helmet is the Crest which is described as:

Trois pi. d'aut., une d'or entre deux d'azur."A translation of the Crest description is:

"Three ostrich feathers, a gold between two blue."Family mottos are believed to have originated as battle cries in medieval times.A Motto was not recorded with the Schiess Coat of Arms.

Individual surnames originated for the purpose of more specific identification.The four primary sources for second names were: occupation, location, father'sname and personal characteristics. The surname Schiess appears to be locationalin origin, and is believed to be associated with the Swiss, meaning, "dweller inthe corner of the field." The supplementary sheet included with this report isdesigned to give you more information to further your understanding of the originof names. Different spellings of the same original surname are a conmon occurrence.Dictionaries of surnames indicate probable spelling variations. The most prominentvariations of Schiess are Schiesz, Shiess and Schiesser.

Information available to us indicates that in 1971 there were approximately 200heads of households in the United States with the old and distinguished Schiessname. The United States Census Bureau in 1970 estimated that there were approximately3.1 persons per household in America which yields an approximate total of 620 peoplein the United States carrying the Schiess name. Although the figure seems relativelylow, it does not signify the many important contributions that individuals bearingthe Schiess name have made to history.
