BIOGRAPHY: "Grandpa Ed Harmon never spoke in detail about his memories of Utah. He did tell about walking behind the family wagon with his sister Ida, from Silver Reef, Ut to San Bernardino, Ca. when he was only nine years old. His little sister Nora got to tride inside the wagon. As an adult, he worked as a dairyman, trolley car conductor, mail man and caretaker of the main water supply reservoir for the city of San Bernardino. During World War II, while James Sims was away serving in the Navy in the Pacific, Ed and Harriet had Mildred and Margaret live with them. Ed was a devoted grandfather; Margaret followed him everywhere in his caretaking duties at the city reservior, which was located ouside the city. This also included irrigating many acres of eucalyptus trees the city maintained for an old outdated contract. He drove her to school everyday, so that she could stay in the elementary and Jr. High schools that her friends were attending, instead of moving to a new school district. He was a big influence for Margaret [now Haworth] while her father was absent. He taught her how to do the daily chemical testing of the city water and when he was stricken with colon cancer,she was able to conduct the tests for him (as a 12 year old). He helped her learn to ride horseback and raise chickens and garden; he was an escellent carpenter, just as his father, Amos had been."

BIOGRAPHY: David Ernest Turner
BIOGRAPHY: David Ernest Turner was born in East Loa, Utah on October 21, 1890. He was the eighth child and third son born to Benjamin Godfrey Turner and Susan Auld Turner. He was born in a log cabin.
When he was about six the family moved to Lyman, on the Henry White lot. He went to school in a one room school house that was located behind where the granary is now on his present lot. The school had one teacher, and he attended school here until he was in the eighth grade.
When he was a small boy one day he was sitting in his high chair and a piece of wood popped from the fireplace and hit him on the neck. He grabbed the wood on his neck and made a bad burn. His mother said if he got lost she could tell him by his scars.
His father and mother took wool and made there own yarn, then made clothing and socks for the family.
One day when he was in the corral with his brother Collier he tossed a broken pitch fork at his brother Collier, this made Collier mad so he threw the pitch fork back at him and hit him in the chin, this made a bad cut in his chin.
As a young boy he helped do farm work. He was 16 when he had the joy of buying his first pair or overalls.
When he was 22 he went to a dance and met the girl who was to be his wife. He had seen her before at dances as she played the piano for the dances. They went together for about 9 months and then they were married. On November 4, 1914 he married Hulda Artimisha Allen in the Manti Temple. She was a daughter of John William Allen and Grace Fordham.
They lived at Teasdale and helped run her father's farm. They lived in a log house at Fish Creek which had three rooms. Her parents lived in half of the house, and they lived in the other half. They had two sons born to them when they lived there. When he was at Fish Creek his right shoulder had been bothering him and one day he picked up a stick to throw at a horse, and when he done this he threw his shoulder out of place. He went to the Doctor then but his shoulder has always bothered him since then,
They moved from Fish Creek to Lyman and lived with his mother. (This is the house which he now lives in.) Duane was born while they lived here. On his mothers lot was a log house and they moved into this house. The summer Duane was born he herded sheep. (He has herded sheep since 1907.) One day he was up past U.M. in Last Chance with the sheep. He was alone and got very sick with appendicitis. He had to ride for six hours, he rode sideways of the horse with his coat tied up to the front of the saddle to hold one leg. Every so far he would have to stop and rest at the side of the road. It was eleven o'clock before he got home. Then he had to ride in a Model A Ford to Salina to the hospital. He was operated on and had his appendix removed. He stayed in the hospital 5 weeks.
While they lived in the log house by his mother, Ward was born. After his mother died he moved into her home. Guy and Leola were born here. (Pete Christensen built this house).
When Leola was one years old, on May 10, 1929, his wife passed away. With the help of family and friends, who cared for the children at times when he had to herd sheep, he raised his children. He had four sons in the service during the war. All six of his children have been married in the Temple.
He still farms and herds sheep and lives in Lyman with his son, Fonzo and family.BIOGRAPHY: (Original held by Fay Bradford & Blendo Ward Turner, Roy, Utah) [jj 6/99]
BIOGRAPHY: Accompanying the photo "HA Allen 4.jpg" was a piece of cardboard box on which Grade Fordam Allen Olsen had written an note to her granddaughter Leola: "To Hulda Leola Turner for her 8th birthday June 20th 1936. From your loving grandmother Grace Fordham Allen Olsen who was born Oct 21st 1873 in Pine Valley Washington Co, Utah. Dear Leola: may you ever treasure this picture of your mother Artimisha Allen whose picture I am presenting to you and who was born Nov. 22nd 1895 in Grover Wayne Co. Utah and died May 10th 1929 in Monroe Sevier Co. Utah and may you ever be blessed to become as good a woman as was your dear mother." There was also a piece of paper glued to the cardboard which contained this poem: "TO MOTHER; When God made the flowers; He must have known then,; That they would be used; As a tribute of men,; Who in moments of love; Sought the things that best told,; How in love and affection; All through life they would hold; Their Mother."
