Married: James Henson Walker
August 25, 1925
Salt Lake City, Utah
I was born in American Fork, Utah, Nov. 17,1885. Here I spent my childhood and early life with my parents, Benjamin Young Greenwood (a pioneer of 1847) and Sarah Jane Julian Greenwood.
I attended Primary and secondary schools in American Fork. At the age of fifteen years I enrolled in the BYU at Provo, Utah. After three years at the university I began teaching school in American Fork--some eight years in the Harrington School. I spent three years- 1914 to 1916, in the Whittier School in Salt Lake City. I returned to American Fork in the fall of 1916 to accpet the position as principal of Harrington School.
In 1923 I was appointed Primary Supervisor of the Alpine School District. This position I held until May 1925 when I resigned to be married.
My teaching career was a happy and satisfactory experience. During this time I attended various colleges and universities: UAC, U of U, and the University of California.
My marriage to James Henson Walker brought happiness into my life. We were married in the Salt Lake Temple by Elder George F. Richards, August 25, 1925. James H's family at this time numbered nine children. In my weak way I attemped to be a mother and make a home for his family who had been left by the death of their mother.
Our union was blessed by the birth of a son whom we named Benjamin G. Walker. Twelve years of married life was the happiest of time for me.
On Sep. 30, 1937 all were saddened by the death of husband and father, James Henson Walker. A great and noble man, had passed on, a man of great faith, courage and ambition.
In the Spring of 1938 I again entered the school room, spending five years in the primary grades and ten years as Librarian i the Pleasant Grove High School. In 1954 I retired from teaching.
Besides school and home making, I received much joy and satisfaction in church work. My first position in the Church was secretary of the Primary when I was twelve years old. Other church positions I held in ward and stake were: working in the Sunday School and Mutual Organizations.
In August 1933 I was set apart by President Wilford Warnick as President of the Timpanogos Stake Y.L.M.I.A. Board, serving until 1939.
Down through the years the James H. Walker family have all married and in turn have families. My son, Ben, has a family of three children. I am very proud to have two granddaughters and two grandsons.
The old home in Pleasant Grove with its many memories--both happy and sad, I sold, and moved to American Fork.
