REBECCA HARRIET TAYLOR

My grandmother Rebecca Harriet Taylor was living in Provo, Utah and was only 13 months old when her father William Joseph Taylor died. Her mother had to work to support her two children. Her mother, Rebecca Harris remarried a man who was a polygamist, and after a time there was some contention and he divorced her. She had a one year old son she had to give up.
Rebecca then married a third time to a man named Frank Adams who was irresponsible and he deserted her in Evanston, Wyoming.

My Grandmother Rebecca Harriet married David Samuel Tracy and they were the parents of 13 children. Their children were sealed to them in the Logan, Utah Temple. The women in the Church at that time did their Relief Society teaching by going to the different Sisters homes by horse and buggy. They had several interesting experiences, some of which were when they were stranded with a broken buggy or wagon, but they were always faithful in their duties. Life for the Pioneer women was often difficult and sometimes even dangerous. They were strong women and lived a mostly happy life with their large families. I don't have many memories of my Grandmother Tracy, I think I only saw her once or twice. She was a rather stern lady (one had to be with 13 children) and I was intimidated by her. She died in Burley, Idaho at the age of 91 years.
