Letter from Arnie Hallmark to Jack & Mollie Hallmark re Jimmie's death:
"Dear Uncle Jack & Aunt Mollie:
It is not a cheerful letter that I am starting to you this evening. Upon my return home from work tonight, my wife gave me your letter. I was indeed glad to hear from you and feel sure that I am the world's poorest writer. I do feel that I must get better at it, and shall start right now, with his letter to you.
On June 1st my little Granddaddy joined his other brothers, and family, in the departed world. He felt he had completed his life to the fullest extent. The last day of May, Grandpa got up as usual, and told Uncle L.B. (his oldest son whom he was with that day) that he had completed his work on earth the night before. He spent the day visiting with various members of his family. At 5:00 pm that evening, they called my father that he should come and bring Grandpa to the hospital.
He walked out of the house and to the car, and joked with dad on the 16-mile ride to the hospital. He said he was sick, but he had felt worse many times in his life. I met them at the hospital, joked with him, and he laughed and joked back. He did not suffer. Just went to sleep and passed away in his sleep about 6 hrs after we got him there. He was always very alert, throughout his life, never lost his vision or hearing. Could read a paper as well as nayone. He was buried beside his wife in the Rose Ridge Cemetery at Cove. I might add, he was buried in a white robe, the highest honor of the Mormon Church. He had completed his temple work. He left an unended line of friends, each of who would say, he was one of the finest, most honest men they have ever known. It is a pleasure to carry the name he has so nobly inscribed into this part of the country.
He had grandchildren for pall bearers. All of his children were there, LB, Letha, Bud, Will, Glen, Mildred & Dollie. Also 22 grandchildren & 24 great grandchildren. A family he was indeed very proud of, and one in which he knew ever one, his age, his birthday, and I believe had a picture of all of them.
The rest of Grandpa's family always was in his heart. We talked of you folks so often, and many times, tried to make plans to come and see you. This evening, Aunt Letha drove in from Utah for a few days. She said to tell you she would be sure and write, as soon as she was again settled at home.
I am sending you a picture of Grandpa, that I took only a short time back. Felt sure you would enjoy it, even though it is a snapshot.
All of us here are in the best of health, enjoying another fine Oregon summer. Looking forward to the time when we may come to Texas and look all of you fine people up. I hope this letter finds its way to you and will close in saying not to mourn Grandpa's leaving. He lived a full, wonderful life, complete to the fullest extent. His family felt his job was very well done here on earth. Love to all, Arnold

Evidently the Rawsons went to Payson for a time also, for their son Arthur Morrison & Pace dau, Margaret, became endeared to each other; in 1859-at 19 and 17 respectfully, were md. Aft 1st child bn moved to Ogden, 2 more children bn. Moved to St. George for a time. Another child bn. Again ret to Ogden, or Harrisville, where rest of fam bn-8 girls & 4 boys. 8th child: Mary Luetta Rawson Grow, born 10 August 1875 in Harrisville.
"Mother, wht do you remember most abt time you lived in Harrisville?" "Not much of anything. Just going to school and helping mother." "That is where you learned to knit & sew?" "Yes, I was with mother all day long. I didn't go to school until I was 11, & everything mother did around the house, I learned to do with her. She taught me to crochet, to knit & sew. When she sat down to work I would do whatever she did. If she wd knit, I wd knit; if she wd sew, I wd sew; if she wd crochet,I wd crochet. This is the way we would spend our time."
"How old were you when you made your 1st dress?" "I was 12. I cut out the pattern & material & made the dress all by myself." "You also learned to cook and make bread?" "Yes, as I said bef, everything mthr did,I did. I learned to cook, wash, make the soap we used & to do all the things mthr did." "How abt preserving the fruit?" "We all worked together to pick & prepare the fruit. We had trees on our place, wked together during the day picking fruit, in the evening helped to prepare it for drying."
"I remember Grandfather Rawson not wanting his girls to curl their hair." "Father was very strict how we girls dressed & wore our hair. He told us how we should dress & wear our things. He was very kind to us, but when I was old enough to go to school, I wanted to have curls in my hair, as I saw the other girls have. One eve, I put my hair in curlers. It was just abt prayer time when I had finished. I marched into the room with the curls in my hair. Fthr sd, "What is the matter with your hair, dau? If God wanted you to have curls, he wd have made them for you bef you came here. March right into the other room & take them out." I left the fam waiting for me, while I went in & combed my hair the way it should have been."
When mthr was 12 yrs, her fthr took her & her 3 brthrs to ID to homestead some land. While the men cleared the land of sage brush & planted crops, mthr cooked & kept house for them. When crops were planted, grandfthr began to build new home. It was a wonderful experience for mthr to help get the new house ready for her mthr & have all of the fam united once more. They had to travel 5 mi to the nearest church, so meeting were being held in Grndfthr's home & he became Br Pres.
The new community was named Ammon, their home was the gathering place for all the young people. Grndmthr loved to sing & dance, & she composed many songs for their enjoyment. Before long, they had a chapel built & grndfthr made Bishop. Mother taught Sunday School, then became sec, which office she held until her mg. Sev fams moved into the community. Among them was the Grow fam.
"Mother, what did the young people do to amust themselves in those days?" "Well, we had horseback riding, riding in the carts, things like that. Every- thing we did, we tried to make fun out of it. All the young people joined together & we were all sociable. We all had our work to do all the time, but we tried to make fun out of our work."
"How abt dancing-where did you go to dance?" "We had a place in the valley which was shady and nice & they fixed it up so we could dance there. We also went to dances in other communities north of us; sometimes we went to Idaho Falls west of us." "How did you travel?" "Sometimes we went by horseback; sometimes we went in a big wagon; sometimes we went by carriage or surrey."
"Where did you 1st meet Dad?" "Well, we had a home in ID & just one mi frm our home was my sis's home. One day I was going to visit my sis, & when I came to the gate a little way above her place, I saw a young man walking along. He had a smile on his face. I looked at him as though I expected him to say something. He caught on & sd, "How do you get across this crk?" I told him how to cross. He looked so wonderfully nice to me, as I looked at him, that I almost fell in love with him & I sd to myself, "If you don't get this young man for my beau, it won't be my fault." So that way, we got to talk & we had a nice little visit then. By the next Sun, the whole fam had arrived, & the young people had gotten acquainted with each other. He & my bro became friends & planned a little carriage ride aft Sun School. So my bro took me aside & whispered to me what they had planned to do. He sd to me, "If you don't mind, I wd like you to ride with him." I sd, good, go ahead. That suits me. So we had our carriage ride & all became good friends."
This young man who stole the heart of my mthr was David Henry Grow, son of Wm Moyer Grow of Huntsville. The Grow home was across the street frm the McKay home, & David O & David Henry were boyhood friends. David was named for his grndfthr, Henry Grow Jr, who was architect of tabernacle roof. Though it was not his ancestors, but his sweet smile that did the trick, that carriage ride was the beg of a sweet courtship, which culminated in mg in Logan Temple 1 Nov 1893. Mthr was 19, fthr 21.
A very memorable event in their lives just bef the wedding was a trip to SLC with Grndmthr Grow to the ded of the SL Temple 4 Apr 1893. Aft their mg, they returned to Ammon & built a home on the land given them by Grndfthr Grow. Mother resumed her church activities, working in RS as a visiting tchr.
During the next 7 yrs, 4 children bn: Jess 26 Jul 1894, Louella 6 May 1896, Pearl 14 May 1898, & Burt 6 May 1900. She continued to work in RS, taught Sun School class for a time & served as Pres of the MIA.
My father was then transferred by the railroad to OR, where Grndfthr Rawson had gone for his health. A small group of church members had formed a new twnshp, which they named Nibley, aft Charles W Nibley. Mother again was MIA Pres & helped nurse our neighbors thru a typhoid epidemic, which finally spread to the family. Though 5 died, our fam was spared, & on 11 Oct 1902 her 3rd son was born.
When father regained his health, moved his family to LeGrande OR, where the 6th child Margaret born on 10 Apr 1905. The following year on 14 July 1906, father was struck & instantly killed by a passenger train, & mother moved the family to Cove OR to be near her mother & brothers, where she purchased a home. Mother relates:
"The 1st Sun aft I moved into our new home, a knock came at our door, and it was Bishop John A Abbott and his two counselors, Joseph C Pixton & Joel H Orten & their wives, bringing a wonderful spirit with them. They told me the way to overcome my grief was to work & keep busy. They invited me to come out to all the meetings & be a teacher in Primary & Sunday School. I was never without work & the children always had plenty. I always tried to pay a full tithing & felt this contributed a hedge of safety to our daily lives."
Mother was a Sunday School & Relief Society teacher for a few yrs, then was Primary Pres for 6 yrs. Then the Bishop said he was going to give her a promotion and called her to be the president of the Relief Society. Then it became her job to care for the sick, and she spent many nights sitting up with the sick, while working to support her family.
About this time, Fred contracted rheumatic fever and remained under a doctor's care without much improvement. On 25 Mar 1915, Louella md IA Hallmark, & shortly thereafter, mother and Jess took Fred to Ogden, hoping to improve his health. Mother had him prayed for in the Temple, and he immediately improved and soon was able to attend school. Pearl and Margaret joined them there at the end of the school term.
During WWI my eldest brother Jess enlisted & mother went back to LaGrande to see him off. She secured a position in the hospital there, where she remained until aft the war.
On 1 Jan 1909 Pearl married CA Fowers in Ogden. At this time we returned to our home in Cove OR, where mother worked in RS, taking charge of the Temple clothes and care of the dead. Loved by all, she was ready to help anyone in need and on Sun afternoons, our home became a gathering place for the young people.
The next yr mthr became MIA president and was until we sold our home in Cove and returned to Ogden UT. Here we were members of the new18th Ward, where mother helped to organize the MIA, serving as a counselor until 1924, when she joined her two eldest sons in Oakland CA.
On 24 Jun 1925, Burt married Marion Shaefer and one year later, Jess married Lyda Fahay. The family now consisting of mother, Fred and myself, now moved to Berkley Branch. There, at an MIA party, J Edward Johnson introduced me to a young man who later became my husbund, Leroy Lambert 27Aug 1927.
Mother then moved to San Francisco, where she became active in SF Ward. On 28 Nov 1931, Jess's wife, Lyda passed away and mother went to Seattle to care for his 4-yr old son, until Jess married Phoebe Desilet a year later.
Upon returning to San Francisco, mother again became active in the ward and was later set apart as work director by Elder Needham Lambert on 4 Dec 1938. On July 28 1940, Elder Gordon Owen gave mother a special blessing which has since instilled in her a desire to live worthy of the promised blessing.
Shortly thereafter, Louella became very ill and mother rushed to Walla Walla WA to care for her until her death 28 Jan 1941. On 2 Aug 1941 Fred md Beatrice Wardell Coons. This marriage was later solemnized in SL Temple by Pr Waddoups 3 Oct 1951. During this time mother served as Magazine agent and aided their bazaars with her handiwork and pastries. In 1951, when the Church Authorities requested all members to attend the ward they lived, mother transferred to the Sunset Ward, where she served faithfully until ill health forced her release, but she continued to aid the Relief Society's many programs.
"Now mthr, would you like to add something in conclusion?" "I have always tried to live the best I know how, and I know when we try to live the Gospel and do the things we've been called to do, we learn our lessons, and I would say to others to live as near as what Jesus taught us to do and all will come well, not seeking for position, but striving only to live a good life." Mother now has 3 sons and 2 daughters living, and 11 grandchildren, 41 great grandchildren and 3 great great grandchildren. My testimony is that the Lord lives and blesses us in all that we undertake to do, if we have righteous desires in our hearts. "Amen."
