    LifeSketch: Edith Mable (May) Williams was born in Auckland, New Zealand. Her father James Clark Williams born in Kirkcaldy, Scotland was a baker. At the age of 19 he left Scotland as second steward on a ship and reached New Zealand in 1874, where he left the ship to make his home. Her mother Sarah Porter Rogers born in Foleshill, England was a dressmaker which skills she taught her daughters. Sewing became important in May's life. In 1858 when May's mother was 4 years old, her family moved to New Zealand. May lived with her family in Auckland, New Zealand until she was five years old. In 1880, while May was still an infant, her family joined the Mormon Church. Two years later her father James had sailed to America to prepare the way for taking his family to Utah. His family immigrated to Utah in 1884 and landed in San Francisco. They traveled by train from San Francisco to Salt Lake City, and then to American Fork. May was five at the time. May grew up in American Fork under the supervision of a fun-loving English mother and a serious, practical-minded Scottish father. Her mother taught her well in the arts of needlework and dress making. May met and became friends with James Isaac Fox who lived on the eastern edge of Lehi. After a happy courtship, they were married, set up housekeeping in Lehi, and Charles Irvin Fox was born a year later. In December, James contracted pneumonia and died on Christmas Day 1900. He left May pregnant with Verda and with baby Irvin, aged 21 months. The sorrow of the occasion was compounded by the family's bleak financial prospects. Jim had left no estate, no property, and no insurance. May, penniless and a widow, was 21 years old. She moved to Salt Lake and finally found a job with Mehessey's, then Utah's leading furrier. It was hard work and long hours. She was living with her parents at the time, but by mutual consent, May sent her son Irvin to live with his Fox grandparents in Lehi. In 1908, May married Henry "Harry" Duncombe and quit her job. She took her children to live with her, but neither side was happy with the new arrangement. Harry was strongly anti-mormon and he disliked the children. At Harry's urging, Irvin was put on the train to Lehi and sent back to live full time with his Fox grandparents. May divorced him in 1920, concluding 12 very troubled years. In 1920 May developed cancer. She learned of it 2 years before she died. (for more complete history see memories-docs)
