History of William and Sarah Ward Spackman

William Spackman, a son of John Spackman and Susannah Orchard, was born 15 Sep 1823 in Poulshot or North Newton, Wiltshire, England.

He was privileged to live his youth and early manhood in the beautiful, green farming land which is Wiltshire, where he grew and developed as a scientific gardener and was noted as a lover of fine horses.

He was an honored and trustworthy citizen of his native community.

On 8 Sep 1845, William was married in Poulshot to Sarah Ward. Sarah was born 1 May 1814 at Pewsey, Wiltshire, England, a daughter of William Ward and Ann Brown. At the time of their marriage Sarah had a son, James Spanswick, born 12 Jun 1840 in Pewsey. James' father died when James was two years old.

Five children were born to this couple. They were Ellen, John, Annie (Ann), Georgianna and Jane.

William and Sarah embraced the Gospel of "Mormonism" at the hands of Elder Nathan Griffen and both were baptized 11 Dec 1852. They were the only members of their families to join the church. The Mormon missionaries were always welcome and made comfortable in their home.

Earnestly desiring to join the main body of the church, the family decided to emigrate to Utah. They sailed 25 Aug 1869 from Liverpool, England on the ship "Minnesota" in a company of 443 saints under the direction of Elder Maurius Ensign.

They arrived in New York City on 6 Sep and in Ogden 16 Sep, just ten days later. What a difference from the ox team and handcart. They came on the first train that pulled into Ogden on the Union Pacific, the train being compelled to stop overnight at Taylor's Mill, near Riverdale, while the last spikes were being driven. They were met by a number of their friends in Ogden who had preceded them from the Old World and partook with them of a most elegant lunch provided for the occasion this happy event took place on the spot where Scowcroft Warehouse was built. They proceded with them on to North Ogden traveling up Washington Ave., then very primitive with chuck and dust holes in abundance, and a forest of sunflowers on the side.

After their arrival in North Ogden, William resumed his favorite occupation of gardening, with farming and dairying added in a limited degree, though with marked success, and still showing his love of good horses.

The home he built for his family in 1870 is still standing (1983). The present address is Rear 548 East 2650 North, North Ogden. The original was one room, all rock construction. The walls were two feet thick. It is said to be part of the old fort wall. The other rooms are adobe brick and were added later.

He and his good wife raised their five children and three of their grandchildren in this home.

The grandchildren they helped raise were their son John's children, John William from the age of two (he was the child from John's first marriage), Sarah who was lame after she had polio and Joseph Parley who was eight years old when he went to help his grandparents with the chores and on the farm after John William married.

William was ordained an Elder on 10 Apr 1872 and was a member of the 3rd Quorum for 30 years. "He was one of the most substantial and trustworthy citizens of the ward and did considerable temple work."

He was a man of sterling integrity, a kind father, and affectionate husband and a highly respected citizen.

William and Sarah were sealed in the temple 10 Apr 1872 and their children were sealed to them 29 Oct 1890.

They lived to see their children grown and married in good families before their death in North Ogden, Utah. Sarah died 5 Dec 1900 and William 10 Apr 1902. The were both buried in the North Ogden Cemetery.

My Father, John Riley Shaw, by Karen Shaw Thomas
Contributed By G. Shaw Soren · 8 July 2013

May 1993
My Father, John Riley Shaw, by Karen Shaw Thomas

Where do you begin to write a story about a man that you loved very much and whom you admired as a child growing up?

Such will be this story of my Father. It is almost unexplainable to put into words the feeling I have for my Father and he for me. While growing up and still to this day, I enjoy being outdoors. I could usually find my Dad out in his workshop. Don't ask me exactly what he did there - - but he would always be working on some project. I just liked being there with him. I can't remember ever having any indepth conversation with him - - it was merely that we understood each other and I loved to watch him work. Everyonce in awhile he'd have me
put something in the vice for him to hold while he was cutting it. I was his helper.

I was always proud that my father was a carpenter. I likened my father to doing the same work that Jesus had one while on this earth and I have always felt proud to tell people that my Dad was a carpenter. We got to see alot of progress of barns or houses going up and I only remember him working on the entire project. I can't remember anyone helping him.

Chyrl and I would walk down to the end of the road and wait for him to drive up at the end of a work day. Going through his lunch pail was a thrilling thing for me as a youngster. I really can't explain what made it so important, it just was.

Our Dad chewed tobbaco and had quite a big wad of Beechnut chewing tobbaco in his cheek alot of the time. I can remember getting into his hiding place for it under the front seat of the car and putting some in my mouth. It really burned my mouth and needless to say, I only did that once.

I would sit in the Model A Ford that he had for hours, hitting the starter button and with the clutch in and then out, would move the car up and down the driveway of the farm in Riverbank, California, teaching myself to drive. Dad would then let me drive the car on the country roads around our home. I was very proficient at driving at age 11. Dad encouraged me to drive and would say to me, "If your Mother ever gets very sick and needs to get to the hospital, you make sure you drive her there if I'm not home." I doubt that Mother even knew that he told me that, but in Dad's way, he loved Mother and did watch out of her well being.

I was proud of Dad being the Branch President in Oakdale, California, during the early 1940's. I had the opportunity to play the piano or lead the singing at Church and it was
probably because he chose me to do so. It was a great experience for the young girl that I was at the time.

I can remember having company for dinner and after they'd leave, Dad would lean back on the kitchen clair and say "Can we eat now" and laugh and laugh. He was saying that while company was there, you had to mind your manners and not eat too much, but after they left, bring on the food!!

Dad had a good sense of humor and I can remember him laughing at his own jokes and his face getting redder and redder the more he laughed.

I can also remember his favorite Sunday evening meal would be bread and cold milk, along with onions and cucumbers in vinegar. Mom and Dad also would make barrels of saurkraut.

Dad was a very giving person and would always make certain that Mom fixed food for the hobos that came by our place in California.

Last year, in 1992, I was able to attend the 50th Reunion of the Oakdale, California Ward. I wanted to be there for Dad because he was the fourth Branch President and served from 1944 to 1947. Dad was a good leader during this time and I am so very greatful that I wa:s born to be part of those years and to be his and Mom's daughter.

A Memory of Grandma
Contributed By sagestaples1 · 17 July 2013

She use to sit in her chair and just ask us great grand kids about all of our sports, school, etc. She would tell us we could go get a candy out of her candy drawer but the nut roll was hers, we could not touch it. She would also go sit in her t.v. room with us and ask us if we would like to watch football or baseball. She loved sports and was constantly watching them. She was so kind and loving. She was one of the most unselfish people I have ever met. I loved her with all my heart.
