Household of William Wilshire Richardson

He is married to Sarah Jane Hone.

They got married on October 16, 1879 at Springville Utah, he was 28 years old.

His boyhood days were spent in Payson in about the normal way of most pioneer children. He attended school enough to learn to read and write. He never had a pair of shoes until he was twelve years old. His father went to the canyon and cut a load of wood and hauled it to Provo where he traded it for one pair of shoes. That is how hard the times were.

William Wilshire wore a mustache and was quite proud of its size. One day while burning greasewood he burned his mustache off. There was a dance that night, but nothing daunted he made a mustache of black goat's hair and went to the dance quite proud of himself. During the evening he had a great time trying to kiss the girls. One prim little miss by the name of Sarah Jane Hone, a newcomer in the community, wanted to know 'who that big stiff was who thought himself so smart.' They were introduced and he took her home.

"In the year 1873, he was called to go to St. George, Utah, to work on the temple. He courted his sweetheart (Sarah Jane Hone) by letter until he was released to come home. After he returned home he obtained a section of land in the south part of town and settled down to farming. On October 16, 1879, he was married to Sarah Jane Hone by The Reverend George W. Leonard at Springville, Utah."

In March of 1885, they made the long trip with an ox team to Logan, Utah where they received their endowments and were sealed for time and eternity on March 25, 1885.
