Excerpt from Life Story of Rosa May Lazenby

"While living in Grover, when Wallace was a baby, it was summertime and the men were so busy in the hay field. I had 7 men to cook for. It was time to get dinner and I had put baby Wallace to sleep. I had just bought a Daisy fly killer. It was in a flat tin box painted pretty with daisies on it and the center of a cork among the daisies that we put water in. It said on the directions to place on the bed by the sleeping child and the flies would not bother the baby, so I did this and got dinner ready. The men had their dinner and had gone back to the hay field -- when I looked in at my baby and there he was drinking the liquid. I picked him up and ran to my husband.

Moroni told me to take him back to the house and watch him closely and send for him if he got sick and very soon he took sick. Moroni was summoned and we sure worked with him and gave him everything we could and Moroni administered to him but it looked like our baby would leave us. Moroni administered to him a second time. The baby showed some improvement but Daddy commenced to get sick and soon the baby was all right but for two hours Moroni was very sick.

The Lord in his mercy knew Moroni was much stronger and the sickness was put on him for the baby was not strong enough to stand it. We always thanked our Heavenly Father for this blessing. I have always been so thankful for the priesthood in my home and of the many, many times my loved ones and myself have been healed."

Excerpt from the Journal of Moroni Lazenby "14 July 1902.

Hauled hay until noon when we were stopped by rain. While we were eating dinner Wallace got the cork out of a fly killer and got some of the poison which quickly began to work its deadly inroads on his system but by the blessing of the Lord he was soon healed through the power of administration--to God the honor is due. As soon as I had administered to him the pain with which he suffered took hold of me and made me quite ill for a time."

"30 Apr. 1924. Took Wallace to Salina where we bad him farewell. [mission to Hawaii".

This is from Leslie, "Another time when Leland and Wallace were teenagers they liked to skim the cream off the pans that had set over night. They'd put the cream on a slice of bread, then they'd sprinkle sugar on top. One time Leland got there first, just as Wallace came in Leland took a big bite, then pulled a face and said "Ug, Sour", so Wallace turned and went back out again while Leland skimmed the other pan."

Wallace filled a mission to the Hawaiian Islands about 1920. He use to write very interesting letters home. In 1928 he worked at Lagoon resort. He was in charge of the Fun House and that is where he met his wife, Helen. They had one little girl named Carol. He later worked for the Salt Lake Police Force. He was there until his death. I enjoyed listening to his stories and experiences.

He wanted his wife to drive the car alone but she wouldn't, so he drove her downtown, then took a bus back and left her to bring the car, which she did.

Wallace loved his pretty wife and beautiful little daughter.
