PHOEBE ORGILL REMUND
It was a lovely spring morning, April 24, 1895, that she was born. Her parents were Mark Orgill and Rachel Isabelle Smith. They gave her the name of Phoebe Hannah and they called her Phoebe. Velda's girl, Joy Hannah, is named after mother.
They lived at upper Daniels and in the house where Uncle Jim's house stands today. It was a little three room log house. She came here to make her home with seven sisters who were already here: Mary Emma, Maude, Edith, Bessie, Arabell and Minnie. She also had three brothers who were already here: Tom, Joe and Jim. Another sister, Ethel, was born two years after Phoebe, then two years later than that another sister, Dora, was born making a family of 14 children, 13 living at the time as Lila died at birth; she was a twin to Minnie.
Mother was stung by a wasp when she was six years old. Grandma put soda on it but the next morning she was sick, then she took pneumonia, it poisoned her so badly.
As mother grew older she was baptised at eight years of age on April 25, 1903, this was done at the Hot Pots at Midway.
Later on when she was ten years old her father passed away. He had rheumatism for several years and it went to his heart, causing his death. Grandma was left with ten children to raise as three were married. Things were not done as easily as they are now either.
Uncle Jim said that as sure as mother was told to do a thing, she'd sneak around and do it anyway.
She went to school in Daniels. The school house stood on the spot where the church house is now. It was a small log building and was heated with coal stoves. Her teachers were Bernidene Huffaker, first grade; Crissie Lindsay, second grade; John Anderson, third grade; O. J. Call, fourth grade; O. G. Olsen, fifth grade. After grade schools they rode to high school in a white top buggy to Heber. At this time the high school was over the top of the old mercantile where Safeway and Kee Best have the property now. There was Arthur Berkman, Lige and Evert Gordon, Otto Anderson, Blanche Swain, Ina McDonald, Dora Shelton, who went to school at that time. A. L. Neff was the principal at that time. She finished school in 1913.
She did housework for Mary Johnson, Bill Jeffs, Rich Giles, George Jorgenson, Frank Carlile and Heber Moulton. She also picked strawberries for Somanshie.
At different times in her life she had attacks of appendicitis but never was operated on. In those days they didn't know so much about operating so if a person had ruptured an appendix, they treated with a chicken cut in half and laid on the side of the person while it was still warm, isides and all, to draw out the poison.
Mother was married right after her nineteenth birthday on June 24, 1914 to Charles Ludwig Remund who lived in Midway about ten miles northwest of Daniel. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple. They drove Old Sis and the buggy to the depot in Heber and took the train to get married. They tied Old Sis to a post and the next day when they came home the old mare was still there waiting to take them home.
Charles worked at the Silver King Mine at Park City so that is where they lived, but at the lower end of Park City in a small house.
Their first child, a daughter was born in a Provo Hospital on June 27, 1915. It was a long way to go but she required constant care and had complications. She had a strong testimony and believed in the power of the Priesthood. She was administered by Uncle Billie Bethers and he told her she would be delivered without any trouble and she had faith she would. Dr. Hatch and three other doctors were ready to take the baby but through faith and prayers she went through it very well. They called her Arthella.
On July 6, 1918, their second daughter was born at their little home in Park City. Aunt Ethel, mother's siter, wanted them to call her Theola so they did and her name was Elva Theola.
They moved to Daniel in the year 1919, by a wagon and horses, into a one room brick house which had been used as a tithing office. They built another room on after buying the brick part. They had Old Sis and the buggy to take them around and in the winter used as a cutter. I can see mother now going Relief Society teaching in it now. We had time to visit in those days. She would take us up to Grandma's to visit; she lived where Aunt Dora lives now.
On April 18, 1921, their first boy was born but he was born dead. She had such a hard time at delivery. He was named Leon and was buried in the Heber Cemetery.
The time went on and on October 21, 1924, another daughter came to live with them who they called Velda. In 1927, October 6, Arlene came to make her home with them.
