History of Elizabeth Pendleton Howard by her daughter Jenny My mother was born in Rainford, Lancashire, England the youngest daughter of James Pendleton and Jane Norcross. They moved to Lathan Park where her father bacame gate keeper to Lord Latham and it was here she recived her schooling in the private school with the children of Lord Lathan and her brother and 3 sisters. From here they moved to Skelmersdale in the came county. It was here as a girl she used to take the cows to pasture and stay with them until evening. She would take her Bible along and read it during the day. At this place her father engaged in basket making for the White Moss Mining Company. It was here the beautiful romance between my father and mother began and lasted throughout their lives. She was 19 and he was 25, when on a beautiful May day in the year 1863 they were married in the Church of England. Her dress was a pale blue, white hat and gloves. Her bridesmaid wore the same color and was furnished by my father as was customary in those days, and they walked two by two to the church. As they entered the asle a wedding march was played on the pipe organ, by a young man who was an old pal of father's from boyhood. Mother said this was a surprise on them and also a pleasant one to have him there for the ceremony. There was an old couple lived as neighbors to us by the name of Leakett when I was a little girl and father and mother used to take us for a walk. She would say. "Well William I see you are still courting!" and father would say yes. On one occasion she stopped them and said to us children that Father and Mother was the prettiest couple that ever entered that church and came out as birde and groom. Of course we children knew she was telling the truth, because we thought our parents were the nicest in the whole world. As a little girl I used to look up at them and think how beautiful they both were. Father's dark curly hair, blue eyes, and rosy cheeks, dress suit, white vest, silk hat, and walking cane. Mother, brown hair, blue eyes, tan dress trimmed in brown, white bonnet trimmed in brown and a bunch of violets, and the color of her rosy cheeks was beautiful to look at as we would walk to church. Father was an engineer. Mother said they were very careful and they saved money to build three brick houses. In one of them lived father's mother and her second husband, as father's father died when he was only 2 years of age, and an older brother named James. These were the children by the first husband, William Howard who was only 27 when he died. They had a farm, but the step-father gambled off everything, also drank. Father said he even gambled off the big sides of bacon that were in the cellar. Father earned his first pair of shoes after his father died by following the plow bare-footed. Father's mother was a great lover of flowers. They called her posie Jenney. She always had a lovely flower garden and wore flowers in her lace cap. As I remember after she died, her husband wanted to come and live with father and his family, but father told him no. Said he was willing to help him but could not have him living with his family and drinking. He also told him that he had taken everything from them that their father had left them and now "I can't take you in, but I will help you." I can well remember this statement of my father's. My mother's sister and husband and three children lived in the other house. Father and mother in the other, where they began raising a family. Six children came to bless them in this home 3 boys and 3 girls. James Henry, Josiah, Jennie, Ruth, Anna and William the baby. When I was 3 father carried me to Sundy School in his arms. Five of us attended Sunday School twice on Sunday from 9-11:00 AM and from 2-4:00 PM. Mother always saw that we were there. Our schooling also commenced at the age of 3. August 20, 1869, mother's father died. She helped care for him through his sickness and read the Bible to him as he requested. Then he said to her, "Elizabeth, I think baptism by emersion is the right way, but I don't know any church that baptizes the way they did in the time of Christ." Before he died, he blessed mother. I've heard her say that it was a great comfort to her to have her father's dying blessing. He never heard of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Then mother's mother came to live with us, and how we did love her. Then she would take us to Sunday School, where she taught a class until she was 70. When father and mother went to church in the evening, she would play games with us and our cousins. We played hide the thimble, and most always we would want to hide it around grandma, sometimes in her slipper or her cap. Then we would sing songs and recite, but the only song we knew was, "A Little ship was on the sea", so that was the one we recited too, our cousins also. We'd stand on a chair like we had seen them do on the stage, and how we laughed about it in later years. Sometimes we played on the way home from day school. Then mother would make us go to bed without supper, but it wasn't long until we would hear someone coming creeping upstairs with supper on a tray and saying keep still, so mother won't hear. It was dear old grandma and did we keep still, I should say we did and always thought we had put one over on mother. Many years later I told this to mother and was much surprised to learn that she had planned it all. One Sunday morning grandma was not feeling well, so we 5 kids went to Sunday School alone. On our way home a large boy who was always picking on younger children commenced to pick on my oldest brother, James Henry, who was a kind hearted boy and for protection he ran into the house of the superintendent of the Sunday School, not knowing they had scarlet fever, and although he just entered and came out right quick, when he reached home, he complained of a headache, and came down with measles and scarlet fever. Although he was given the best of care, the family doctor attending him, in a little over a week died saying, "Mother, Sunday School, Jesus." Then 4 more of us came down, as they had sent the baby to my aunt's so he would not contact it. Mother took care of us until she came down too. I shall never forget as I sat in bed and watched Father and Grandma over Mother with a looking glass over her mouth to see if there was any hope of life. For sometime, they watched, prayed and waited. The first thing she told them was that she had been in a city far away. The streets were all white, sparkling crystal and everyone dressed in white and wore new shoes. She heard the loveliest music she ever heard in her life and when it was through a voice said that it was "Death March in Saul" Before my mother got well, my aunt's children came down with the fever, also our baby, she died: This being two of her children, the oldest 10, the baby 5 weeks. This was a great shock to my mother and for many years she was under the doctor's care. She said she never recived any comfort until the plan of salvation was brought to her by the missionaries, with the joyful message received by the Prophet of God, that she could be sealed and have the departed sealed to her in the Holy Temple of the Lord. Sometime after this a music teacher who was blind came to the house of father's mother, giving lessons to a half brother of fathers. They invited father and mother over. The gentleman asked if there was anything they would like thim to play. Then mother ventured to ask, was there a composition by the name of "Death March In Saul"? To her surprise he answered, yes and all played for them. Mother broke into tears and said it was the same she had heard and while it was beautifully played, she testified it was not so sweet as that heavenly music she had heard. Many years later and strange as it may seem, it was played by the Orange Men as their march. William III was Prince of Orange and his men to this day are called the Orange Men. Soon after this father built five more birck houses and moved his family into one of them.

History of Elizabeth Pendleton Howard by Mariam P. Mother told me of the working conditions in England. When she was a young girl she was never allowed to eat at the dining table with the family, but ate in the kitchen. She had a small corner in one room with a table and a coal oil lamp to study by. Their small boys used to come in and tease her and blow out her lamp. She didn't even dare defend herself or complain about it, or there would be trouble. One day her father came to visit her and brought her a lovely new hat. She told him she wouldn't be able to wear it as it would be too much like her mistress's Her father lost no time in telling her if that was the case he was taking her home with him, and he did. Her father William Howard died from a lung congestion or miners consumption probably caused from his many years as a miner (Asthma-black lung). While in Carey her mother did a lot of nursing. And mid-wifing. She spent as much as ten days in the homes at times doing the work as well as caring for the illness. If the families were able to pay she might get $10.00, if not she marked it up to compassionate service. Both parents were healed by administration many times. When mother had Erysipelas, and acute inflammation of the skin, she had reached a point where death might be eminent. They called D. Phippen (wlho had been given the gift of healing) and as he administered to her the desease seemed to leave her and enter into him. He was so weak he called on father and the other Elder to administer to him quickly before he passed out. My sister Jennie had a little old man visit her when her husband was so very ill. He talked with her and conforted her and probably blessed her husband. She enjoyed his company and when he left she pondered where he came from and where he was going. She stepped out to see which way he went, and he was nowhere in sight. She felt sure he must have been one of the Nephites. Jennie had also told of having seen one of the men who had persecuted the prophet Joseph, when he came to Utah to admonish the people to stay true to the Church. She said the man's flesh was rotting off his bones. It was pretty terrible to view.
