  History of Rosabelle Thompson Robins Contributed By michelledickson1 · 7 May 2013 History of Rosabelle Thompson Robins I was born in Fillmore, Millard County, Utah July 24 1867. Moved to Scipio when 6 months old with my parents Daniel Thompson and Lorenda Elizabeth Brunson Thompson. My father was to be Bishop. I could sing and recite at the age of three. I sang from a table in a Bowery at the 4th and 24th of July celebration. I was taught the gospel and at six knelt at my mother’s knee. I was baptized September 9, 1882 by Thomas Memmott and confirmed by George Hawley. At the age of twelve we established a club and sewed carpet rags and crochet work. Our Relief Society was organized July 27th 1870 and we wanted to be like Relief Society mothers. On November 30, 1880 my father and ladies from Salt Lake City organized the YLMIA. I was chosen secretary of Primary in 1882, Sunday School teacher in 1884, November 28 1882 choir leader of YLMIA on November 16th 1886 1st counselor to Susan Yates, November 1st 1887 1st counselor to Emily L. Thompson. Oct 16, 1888 President of YLMIA, November 6, 1889 again selected President. I was married January 19th 1890 to Merien Richard Robins, endowed August 28, 1912 in Manti Temple, resigned from Mutual 1890, my first baby born December 21st 1890. My husband was ranch-man of a ranch owned by J. C. Campbell of Salt Lake City. The ranch was in Geyser Nevada. I went out to see my husband and a posse of men rode up to our gate and asked for my husband who was two miles away in a field. They said desperadoes had pilfered other ranches and taken meat and escaped to the hills. They had run on to a man and shot him and took his horse, saddle, bridle and spurs and left him to die. He arose and walked to a ranch where he received help. The desperadoes had visited our ranch but they were never caught. In the spring of 1889 we laid plans for our new home. In august 1901 we moved into the new home. I had saved the money he worked for and we paid for it all. For eight years I had the responsibility of home and children. My health was poor so I was baptized in the Manti Temple. I was immediately better. In my Patriarchal blessing given by John Ashman in 1898 he promised I should live to see my children’s children and their children and dandle them on my knee. I took up my church duties again, second counselor to Visa Martin in Primary January 8, 1892, February 6th 1904. First counselor to Elizabeth Peterson, second counselor to Emma Wright in the Stake and had pleasure of reporting conference where Joseph F. Smith was in attendance. My father was very proud of me he said. At the death of Sister Wright I was released, I was forty-seven when my last baby was born. He died at that time. In October 20, 1928 I was asked to be teacher in the Primary. I worked ten years in that capacity and as chorister. My throat became affected and when I couldn’t sing, I resigned. My work in Relief Society started August 19, 1891 as treasurer, teacher and chorister. May 19?1 I gleaned in the fields to help the Relief Society. The straws saved were woven into hats by my sister and we wore them. I learned to card the wool for batts to put into our quilts. I worked in the store for two years. My father was Stake President during this time. I worked in the store for Andreas Peterson and shared my money with my sisters who were in High School. I always paid my tithing. On celebrations and recreation days I always took my chance of winning the Ladies Boot race even until I was forty-four when I fell and dared not try again. I loved dancing and participate once in a while now. (August 18, 1938.) I am still a teacher in Relief Society and enjoy my work very much. I have seven children living and lost my baby boy at birth. They have all been married in the temple. My husband died September 2nd 1937. I am living alone. I visit my children and feel they are my greatest joy. They are all good and kind to me and my life is made happy with their association. I am seventy-one years old. Have done temple work for twenty-two people (nineteen in Manti, 4 in Salt Lake and some in St. George.) I have loved my Relief Society magazine and have taken it for years.
