Notater:
Hannah Adeline or "Addie," was born in Franklin, Idaho in 1867. Addie learned her three R's at home and had just three months of formal schooling. But she loved good books and read extensively. She was raised in a plural marriage household and developed a great respect for her father's other wives and her many step-brothers and sisters. The evidence all indicates that it was a triple home of love and happiness. She had a generally happy childhood and often went to her play house, made in the willows along the river bank.
She had a very serious nearly fatal accident at the age of four. The family was building a rock house at the time and there was a large lime pit. As the workmen were passing near the lime pit, an Indian spied the tip of a calico apron protruding above the surface of the white lime. He pulled on it and found that Addie had become completely immersed in the lime. He shouted the alarm and she was rescued. Many hands cleaned the lime from her eyes~ nose, and mouth. It was a frightful experience that left her upper respiratory tract somewhat damaged for a number of years with more than her share of respiratory illnesses each winter.
In 1875, Bishop Hatch was called to leave Franklin and go to Arizona. He took Catherine and several of their children but little Addie had to stay in Idaho because of her frail health. Two years later she was able to join with her family in Arizona. Her father served as a counselor in the Stake Presidency in Arizona and her mother Catherine served as the first Relief Society President of Woodruff, Arizona. Addie was known as a very competent seamstress and pattern maker. She sang in the ward choir and was said to have an unusually clear soprano voice.
On September 28, 1883 she became the plural wife of Levi Mathers Savage. The other wife in the home was Addie's older sister, Nora. These two sisters were unusually compatible and it was a very happy household. For the marriage it was necessary to travel by wagon for approximately two weeks to reach the St. George Temple.
Two couples traveled together on this trip. The two brides slept in the wagon and the two men slept on the ground. On the way home their honeymoon trip had the extra dimension of a cattle drive. As Addie road in the wagons her husband Levi drove some cattle which he had obtained from his father in Toquerville, Utah. She helped her husband get the cattle across the Colorado River.
There was considerable difficulty with reference to the practice of plural marriage in the United States and therefore the family heeded the advice of The Brethren and moved to Old Mexico in 1885. Her first baby, Alvenia, was born in a simple dug-out in Old Mexico. Adeline's mother, Catherine, managed to send her one and a half yards of muslin from which she fashioned a beautiful frock for the baby's blessing. Mexico was full of hardships. There was an unfriendly government, a diphtheria epidemic, and an earthquake.
But there were some light moments. On the fourth of July Adeline participated in a married women's foot race that she managed to win, receiving a rooster as a prize.
Adeline was an ardent student of the scriptures. One of her favorite tricks was to mark her favorite passages with a little figure of a hand with an outstretched index finger. In one of her copies of the Book of Mormon there were 57 such hands. One of these small hands indicates her interest in the 35th Chapter of Alma, verse 11, which reads, "Thou didst hear me because of my afflictions."
Her second baby, Louie May, was born in September 1887. This was the major turning point in Adeline's life since her health deteriorated at this time. She was only 21 years old but she was never really well again. Her son's birth was accompanied by a great loss of blood and extensive laceration of her tissues. For many years she was confined to bed. With the loss of her physical health, she gained even more spiritual power and she enjoyed many spiritual gifts including the gift of tongues, interpretation of tongues, and healings. Her poor health doubled the physical duties of her sister Nora who willingly stepped forward to do what must be done.
In December 1888, Adeline left Old Mexico and went to Logan, where she lived from 1900 to 1902. Her very kind and attentive bishop at that time was Melvin J. Ballard. Eventually her health improved slightly and she had three more children.
Adeline had a special calling for which she was never formally sustained and that was friend, confidant, and comforter. People would come from great distances to seek a few hours with her. She had a certain spiritual gift which made her presence an unusual experience for people who were carrying a heavy burden.
Adeline taught her children many principles including the law of tithing. She did this by having the children carefully count the eggs and weigh the butter so that the Lord's tenth would honestly be given from Adeline's meager supply. During these years she also served as secretary of the MIA, as a Relief Society Instructor, and as a member of the Stake Relief Society Board. She also served as the corresponding secretary of the Women's Suffrage club.
Adeline passed away on June 14, 1916, at the age of 49.
