Agile at 84, That's Carey's "Walking Book of Records" Encyclopedic By Della Webb Mrs. Jennie Phippen...pioneer Carey resident about whom other Carey residents say, “If you want to know anything about Carey, just ask Aunt Jennie!: (Caption with picture) Carey, April 29--One of the outstanding women to pioneer the Little Wood river valley is Mrs. Jennie Howard Phippen who observed her 84th birthday anniversary today. However, there is nothing about this spry little woman, except her record, to indicate her advancing years. She has retained a vivacity which many women 30 years younger would be proud to have. A, musician, speaker and keeper of records, she has been useful all her days--not the type of usefulness which could be deemed burdensome, but the kind which brought happiness to herself and her associates. Aunt Jennie, as she is known, was born in Skelmersdale, Lancashire, England in 1867. After 57 years in America her sturdy English accent adds to her charm. Her recollections of life in England are as vivid as the day she lived them. Her musical ability asserted itself early in her life. She remembers she sang in a Methodist choir at the age of 7. Later at Carey she enlivened many a gathering when activities were planned and old-fashioned song festivals held. The family auctioned its possessions before leaving England in 1888. Aunt Jennie remembers how she and her family cried as their cherished household belongings went over the block. The sailed for America the same day. The family had accepted the LDS faith and was coming to America to make its future home. Many, many friends stood at the water’s edge and bid them goodbye, she recalls. Included in the sailing party were Aunt Jennie’s parents, herself and nine brothers and sisters, two of her cousins and two orphaned children of whom her father had accepted charge. The first part of the voyage being smooth, they danced on board and enjoyed themselves, however, when the sea became rough, many became seasick and dancing was the last thought that came to their heads. In October, 1888 the family was in Salt Lake City. The same year her family moved to Coalville, Summit, Utah, USA, but Jennie stayed behind for a year. She attended Brigham Young University at Provo one year and attended the dedicatory ceremony of the Salt Lake Temple in 1893. She came to Carey in August of the same year. She was married to William Clarence Phippen in 1895. Mr. And Mrs. Phippen were devout workers in the Carey LDS branch. Mr Phippen was the first president of the YMMIA in Carey. They lived in the house now owned by the Worthington family north east of town. One child was born to them, a son, William Monroe, who with his family resides near his mother and looks after her welfare. Probably the most prized of Aunt Jennie’s possessions was the piano her husband gave her. There was a guitar, too, and when she wasn’t making it hum, someone had it borrowed. It never hung idle long enough to gather dust. Her brothers, Arthur, John and Elmo, also were musically inclined and were members of a 28-piece band which was the pride of Carey in the early days. Their home was a haven for their friends; a place to make old fashioned merry for those who loved a happy time. The children used to step in to get warm on their way to school and many have written Aunt Jennie in later years to tell her of the appreciation for her hospitality. Friday night they would come to put on a show, with a sheet for a curtain and a pin for admittance. The family constituted an orchestra with piano, banjo, violins and mandolin. In the days before picture shows, talented people formed dramatic organizations and many a small town Ethel Barrymore proved herself a good actress before improvised foot-lights. This was true in Carey, when a Dramatic club was organized and really famous plays presented. “East Lynn” was the first production to entertain the theater-goers, and the cast including Leon Ainsworth, Robert Quincey, Mrs Robert Quincey, Jennie Phippen, Ernest Giles Thompson Parker, Emma Billingsley, Annie Cameron and Thomas Evans. Charles Redding was president of the club and his wife the promoter. Property man was William Phippen. The second play, “Josiah’s Courtship,” was cast with Thompson Parker, Lula Parker, Thomas Evans, Leon Ainsworth, Arthur Howard, Joe clark, Lenox Adamson, Jennie Phippen and Ervin Eldredge, sr. Mr. Redding painted the scenery. Some of the money obtained was spent on song books for the Church. By giving a dance they also realized a sum of money with which to pay Leon Ainsworth for building a bookcase for the books. They also contributed $30 toward the purchase of an organ for the church. Another show brought in $60 which was given to Hyrum Phippen to purchase a piano for his amusement hall. This hall was later destroyed by fire. Aunt Jennie also remembers a women's band of which she was a member. Pearl Adamson was organist. Ida Stanford played a guitar, Jennie Phippen, a harp, and Minnie Case a tin warbler and harmonica. Aunt Jennie was secretary of the primary six years, chorister of Carey LDS branch (later a ward) 32 years, treasurer of the LDS Relief society three years, home missionary in Boise stake, Carey ward three years and a member of the Betterment League of Missionaries. Others assisting with the league included Margaret Adamson, Betsey Wilde, and Edith Stanford, all well known Carey women. While working in the MIA her group promoted a church journal which members wrote and distributed themselves. Aunt Jennie spent a year at Hailey when she first came to Blaine county. She beams as she recalls the many friends she met there, among them the Malorys, the Rileys, the Waters, the Whites and others. She worked as a seamstress at Hailey, having served as an apprentice two years and as a finisher six months in England. The recent flood threat at Carey reminds Aunt Jennie of other floods when Little Wood river overran its channels. She remembers a valuable team of horses, fording the stream (there were no bridges then), lost its footing in the swift current and was swept against a fence and drowned. Memories of her youth brought back the types of good times enjoyed in “our day.” “Sheet and Pillow case” dances and snowshoe parties were two of their favorites. And although she never said as much it is easy to imagine that she was the center of attention for there the crowd would be entertained by her sparkling wit, her pleasing personality and cultural accomplishments. She knew sorrow at the death of her beloved husband some 20 years ago, and she saw her sister die in childbirth before the days of anesthetics and doctors. But time has not aged her. She is happy and cheerful in the love of her home, her grandchildren who come daily to visit her and her son. A daughter-in-law has been the only daughter she ever had. Aunt Jennie delights in giving accounts of her early life and to point out contrasts between today and yesteryear. It has been said truly, “If you want to know anything about Carey, just ask Aunt Jennie!” Howard 380
