My grandfather Don Carlos Ivie died on 24 June 1940, which was almost one year before I was born. Therefore, I never had a chance to see him and I am unable to find stories about him. My older sister Eleanor Bentley has very pleasant memories about my grandfather Ivie. She said that he loved his grandkids and was a very kind man. Eleanor said that he died of a brain tumor and was in pain for about six months before his death.

He was born 26 June 1881 in Daniel, Wasatch, Utah and died 24 June 1940 in Miners Hospital in Park City, Summit, Utah. He was married 4 April 1908 to May Pearl Wright and sealed in the Salt lake Temple on 6 May 1941. They had nine children Vivian, Phyllis, Ivan Don, Kenneth Don, Elma May (my mother), Eugene, Marvin, Harold Ivie, and James Leonard. My grandparents also raised a son born to Phyllis who went by the name of Donald Kenneth Ivie. After the death of my Grandfather my grandmother raised nine children of her oldest daughter, Vivian ivie Barnes, who died on 5 February 1946. The names of the Barnes Children were: Margaret Betty (Margaret died at early age), Vern Dale, Raymond, Lila May, Hyrum, Robert, Nancy, Janet Rose, Jerry, Tommy, and Larry.

Memories from a story by my Mother, Elma May Ivie Perez.

My grandfather worked in a mineral hard rock mine. The name of this mine was Silver King Collation. They mined silver, zinc, and lead ore. It was a very rich mine. My mother was very young when they lived in a small home in Lower Deer Valley. She was four years old when her family moved in the house that was much too small for the family. My mother loved her dad and he made her swing on the porch and she would sing nursery rhymes and count to one hundred.

My mother tells me that my grandfather had health problems form working in the mines. Dr. Brogly ran tests and x-rayed his lungs. The doctor told him to quit the mine and get a job where he could breathe clean air. He had dark spots on his lungs. He quit the mine and started preparations for his journey to find another job. My grandmother was sad, but she encouraged him find another job. He told the family goodbye except my mother. He let her think he just went to work. My grandfather found a job in Night, Wyoming on a ranch.

My grandparents moved to Evanston, Wyoming only for a few months and returned to Park City, Utah. When he returned he got a job in the mine, rented a two-bed room house and sent for his family. Grandfather started building our new house on Onterio Ridge. The house was built on company ground, which was quickly claimed. Grandfather had to have permission to build there.

Memories of my grandmother May Pearl Wright Ivie

I do have loving memories of my grandmother Ivie (May Pearl Wright). She was to me a sweet and kind person. Although, we did not visit her a lot. She was a good cook and taught my mother home making skills. As a young boy I lived in Park City, Utah and knew that I could go to grandmother’s house any time for dinner.

Long before I went to school, I was playing out side and came into our house because I was hungry. I asked my mother when we were going to eat. She replied in a joking voice that she was not going to cook and we were not going to eat. I thought my mother was serious so I went out side and headed for my grandmothers house, which was some distance away. I grandmother saw me coming and she asked what I was doing and I told her that I came for my supper. She set me down to the table and fed me. At about the same time my mother told my sister Eleanor to go out side and tell me that supper was ready, but they could not fine me. They were consider because they could not find me. After supper at my grandmothers house she had my Uncle Gene take me back home. I am not sure that I remember this story but my grandmother would tell me this story just about every time she saw me.

My grandmother was visiting our family when we lived in Salt Lake City, Utah and we were eating. She asked if I wanted some fruit cocktail and I told her no because to me it look like soup. She encourage me to try some and told me fruit cocktail was very good. I agreed to try some and from that day on I loved fruit cocktail and always think of my grand mother.

I lived in Park City only for a short time and then we moved to Salt Lake City and then Price, Utah. From that time on we only saw my grandmother about once a year and she was living in Center Creek, Utah on a 40 acre farm. I enjoyed visiting my grandmother because farm life was a new experience for me. They raised most all their food on the farm. They had milk cows, pigs, chickens, workhorses, bees, fruit trees, raised potatoes, carrots, peas, corn, alfalfa, wheat and oats. They had a root cellar to store potatoes and carrots during the winter. They also had a small granary to store grain.

Her oldest daughter, Vivian Ivie married Charles Brigham Barnes and they had nine kids. Vivian died on 5 February 1946 leaving 8 children to be raised. My grandmother was living in Park City, Utah at the time and she went to Center Creek, Utah to take care of the grandchildren. She still had one son Leonard and grandson Don in addition to eight Barnes. She married her son-in-law Charles Brigham Barnes and they raised the kids of both families. Charles Brigham Barnes and my grandmother never had children. Charles Brigham Barnes died on 5 October 1954 in Heber City, Wasatch, Utah. At the time of Charles death there were three other children to be raised. My grandmother died on 17 January 1962 in Heber City, Wasatch, Utah. She continued to live on the farm until she died. At that time I was in the United States Army stationed Germany and never got a chance to attend her funnel.

My grandmother was a great mother and grandmother who raised nine children of her own, nine Barnes grandchildren, and one child of Phyllis who went by the name of Don Ivie. This makes her one of greatest grandmothers in the world.

Compiled by Nora Lund, D.U.P. Historian for Nora Wright North, granddaughter
Information taken from the Wasatch County book, “How Beautiful Upon the Mountains”, from “Pioneers and Prominent Men of Utah”, and from personal family histories.

William Wright was born October 5, 1831 in Burgh-by-Sands, Cumberland, England. He was a twin to a sister, Hannah. His parents were William Wright and Margaret Ashbridge Wright. His grandparents were William Wright and Margaret Hewetson. His sisters and brother older than he was Margaret, John and Jane. Born after him were a brother John and a sister, Isabella. All the members of this family died young with the exception of William and his sister, Margaret*.

When William was only 4 years old his father died, leaving his mother a widow with the two children to support. When he was eight years old his mother married William Atkinson.

When William was a lad of fifteen years, he first heard about the gospel of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was on the street one evening in his hometown when he saw a group of people listening to some singing. He joined the group and became very interested in what two Mormon missionaries from America were telling the people. He knew they spoke the truth, and hurried home to tell his mother what he had heard.

The next evening she went with him to hear these men tell of this new religion. She also was much impressed. The truths of the gospel filled her very soul as it had her sons. They invited the Elders to their home many times. They studied the gospel and prayed about it and were baptized. His mother on February 16, 1848 and he on November 9, 1848. **

William fell in love with a lovely Latter-day Saint girl, Jemima Dands. They planned that he should come to America and prepare a place for her. We don’t know which of the ten ships carrying Mormon Saints that left Liverpool, England in 1853 that William was a passenger on. These ships landed at New Orleans and from there the Saints came up the Mississippi River, hence to Kanesville (Council Bluffs), Iowa, the outfitting place that year for the Saints to cross the plains to Utah.

William joined the Appleton M. Harmon wagon train of two hundred souls with twenty-two wagons. They had a fairly good journey and arrived in Salt Lake City, October o16, 1853.

When he landed in Utah he went to work for Ezra T. Benson and out of the meager earnings saved what he could and sent to England for his sweetheart, Jemima, to join him. In 1856 he drove an ox team to Council Bluffs, Iowa to meet her and her mother.

When they returned to Salt Lake City, they were married and moved to Provo. He and Jemima became the parents of nine children who were: William Thomas, Jemima Ann, Margaret, Wilford Dands, James Lehi, Joseph Smith, Hanna Rebecca, and Sarah Elizabeth and Hyrum Smith.

William thought the sun had really gone out of his sky, when his wife died June 4, 1871, leaving him with eight small children to care for.

For quite some years William Wright had been friendly with the George Baum family. He and George had worked together and were instigators in building a road through Provo Canyon. William was the toll gate keeper at the North end. It was while he was stationed here that he located the lovely spot in Charleston that he was later to homestead and where he was to spend the rest of his life. It was to become known as the Wright Ranch down by the road to Wallsburg. He moved there on October 27, 1870.

On October 31, 1871 he married Mary Jane Baum. She was 17 years old and he was 39. She was the daughter of George and Hannah Jane Cloward Baum. Her mother had died when she was a small girl and a kind step-mother had reared her; so she realized perfectly well her responsibility that she had taken upon herself by marrying William Wright and caring for his large family.

She was a strong healthy girl and wanted to have a large family of her own. Her son, George Baum Wright, was born September 12, 1872, followed by fifteen others, namely, Eliza Jane, Mary Isabell, Owen Uriah, Wallace B., John Elmer, Charles, Stella Melissa, Albert (died young), May Pearl, David Nephi (died young), Zora and Zella (twins), Edna (died young), Leora, and Lorin Atkinson.

It is said that William Wright crossed the plains six times to assist emigrants in his younger days.

When a mission call came to him in 1883-4, even though he had a large family to support, he accepted the call and filled a mission to England. He was interested in doing temple work, making the long trip to St. George to do this work.

From the very first, education has been prized by Charleston residents, and the establishment of schools was given much attention by early settlers. When the community was re-settled after the Black Hawk Indian disturbances in 1867, William Chatwin taught school in a log home. William Wright also taught school for several winters in George Brown’s home; as well as, the homes of William Bagley and the McAffee’s. He taught the school where his children attended, and was a strict disciplinarian.

He was always a full supporter of any civic betterment project in his community.

The first permanent chapel in Charleslton was built in 1873 under the direction of Elder Watkins. William Wright was the first ward clerk and served for many years. He held the office of a High Priest and held many other church positions, also. In addition he was a Justice of the Peace and a school trustee and farmed most of his life.

He was called upon many times when people were sick, as there were no doctors for miles around. He always seemed to know just what to do. He was very good at setting broken bones, and pulling aching teeth. He doctored with herbs a great deal, and knew just which ones to use for his medicines. He insisted that all his children learn to swim in case they were ever in a situation where they needed to save lives.

William was a great lover of animals. He had a prize bull, a stallion and a bulldog, that was his constant companion. At one time the bulldog saved his life. The bull had cornered him and would have gored him to death if the faithful dog hadn’t jumped up and bitten the bull on the nose, distracting him long enough so William could get away. This was a serious predicament as William was badly crippled with arthritis and walked with a cane.

This faithful pioneer died in Charleston November 11, 1903 at the age of 71, was the father of 25 children and a devoted husband. He was buried in the Provo Cemetery. Mary Jane died October 14, 1928 in Provo and is buried there also.

___________
I found this story in my grandfather, Lorin Wright’s book of remembrance. With easier access to records we can see that some of the information in this is incorrect. However, it is still an interesting and useful sketch of William Wright’s life.

*Isabella Wright lived to adulthood. There is a letter from Isabella Wright dated March 12, 1871 from Ashburn, Pike Co, Missouri to her sister Mrs. Margaret McAdams which lists names of 7 of her 8 children and her husband.
It seems that John Ashbridge Wright also lived to adulthood, although I have not yet found any definitive records proving that John Ashbridge Wright is the John Wright married to Ann Bell.

**According to FamilySearch, William Atkinson was baptized 25 August 1843, four and a half years before Margaret was baptized.
