My Life Story
By: Hazel Luella Hoopes-Brown-Chadwick
I, Hazel Luella Hoopes-Brown-Chadwick, the first child of William Riley Hoopes and Mary Luella Harmon, was born in Fairview, Lincoln County, Wyoming on July 28, 1913. I was born in a little 2-room log house with a dirt roof. This house was the home of my maternal grandparents, Appleton Milo Harmon and Mary Eliza Child. Othello Brown now owns the land where that house stood.
My parents owned a 2-room log house North of where Ronald Allred lives. In 1914 my father traded this home there for another two-room house and lot on the corner across from the old Will Jenson home.
In April 1915, my parents moved to Auburn to run a ranch for Christopher Burton. That fall on October 2, 1915, my brother William Vearl was born. We lived in Auburn until April of 1916, then we moved back to our home in Fairview.
On Nov ember 18, 1917, my sister Maybell was born. I was old enough then to remember some of the people who came to see my mother and baby sister. Bertha Child and her daughter Flossy and a boy. My Aunt Huldah came with her two children Vera and Gordon. I remember Gordon drove a nail in the head of my doll. I had a doll with a head made out of newspaper soaked in some solution and it could be molded into shape. I thought it was a very nice doll.
In the spring of 1918 my father went out of the valley to shear sheep. He had been gone about a month and was brought home very ill with typhoid fever. He was taken to the hospital in Afton, that stood where the Lazy B Motel now stands. My Aunt Eunice child lived in a large house about where Ivan Gardner’s home is, and I had to stay with her while my mother would go to the hospital with my father.
In July, after my father was well enough to get around, we went to Clifton, Idaho to visit my Grandfather and Grandmother Harmon who had moved from Fairview in 1915. We stayed there for 2 months, to bottle fruit for winter. My father came home in August to get a haying job.
On September 17, 1918, my mother was 26 years old and we left Clifton to come to Star Valley. We arrived home on September 19, 1918. On October 1, 1918, we moved up south of Fairview to G. J. Barstow’s ranch as my father was working for him then. We stayed there three weeks, then we moved to his lower ranch, north of town.
On the 19th of October, 1918, my mother passed away with influenza. My father was very ill at that time too.
My Aunt Luella Wilkes and Lettie Campbell came to help care for my parents and we three children.
After my mother was buried, my father took us to live with Grandma and Grandpa Hoopes. They had 3 children under six and with we three there were 2 babies, 11 months and 1 year, 2 boys 3 years old, and 2 girls age 5 for Grandma to take care of.
I will never forget how she used to get us up in the mornings and have us sit on a chair by the old wood heater. She would fix us all pieces of bread with thick cream and sugar. That was something I really liked and Grandma would always offer me some when I would go to her place in future years.
A while after we had come to Grandma’s and Grandpa’s place to live, we children all got the chicken pox. Sometime after that my brother Vearl dropped my sister Maybell and she struck her chin against the rocker of a rocking chair. It caused her to have an abscess and she was surely sick and cross.
Grandma surely had her hands full, but she certainly was an Angel of Mercy. We all loved her so much.
In March 1919, we went to Clifton to live with Grandma and Grandpa Harmon. In April 1920, they moved to Smithfield, Utah and that was our home until July 10, 1920. Grandma and Grandpa Harmon were so good to us and we really loved them, too. We felt like their children were our brothers and sister, at least I felt that way about Uncle Lawerence, Aunts LaVon and Alta.
On the 2nd of July, 1920, my father married Della Grace Rigby from Bern, Idaho. We all seemed to fall in love with her at first sight. When we came back to Star Valley, we moved into a new home. It was a large frame house built by William Jensen. It was located two blocks south of the main highway that comes into Fairview from the East. We were all very happy with our new mother and also to be reunited with our father again.
On August 16, 1921, another brother, Melvin Riley, was born. I was so happy because I always loved little babies so much. In December 1921, our family went to quarterly conference in Afton. During the noon hour a Mr. George Hepworth came and talked with my folks. He thought Melvin was such a handsome little boy and he told my folks he would trade them 2 sacks of potatoes for him. Of course I thought he was serious and whenever I was left alone at home to tend Melvin I was in constant fear of Mr. Hepworth coming to take him away.
One night, in March 1922, my folks had gone to a dance. My mother’s folks came from Bern, Idaho to visit with us. I heard them knock on the door, but wouldn’t answer because I thought it was Mr. Hepworth. They finally opened the door and came upstairs where we were. I was nearly frightened to death because Grandma Rigby had a black veil over her face. They had been riding in a sleigh and the sun was so bright so she wore the veil over her face to keep from being sunburned. It was surely a happy feeling I had when she removed the veil and I found out it wasn’t Mr. Hepworth.
Shortly after this, I had another frightening experience. My father had gone to Montpelier after a load of freight, and my mother had gone to a Home Economics Club Meeting. I was left home to tend Melvin and my sister Maybell. It was a warm afternoon and the shingles on the roof were quite dry as the snow had melted off. Brother Albert Barrus knocked on our door and asked if my folks were home. When I told him where they were he said, “Your house is on fire.” He ran to the backyard to look for a ladder and also started to shout for help. At that time we didn’t have a pipeline so we had to haul all of our water from Crow Creek. Mother had washed the day before and hadn’t emptied the water so it was used to extinguish the fire.
When Brother Barrus got back to the house form the barnyard I had the children out of in the middle of the yard on a little hand sleigh. I also had all of our clothes, bedding, and straw ticks carried out of the house. He said it was the strength of an eight year old child when they become frightened.
I believe the first spanking my new mother gave me was when I put her pretty grey and black high top shoes over mine and walked out into the dirty barnyard. The next time was when I wanted to go play with my cousin Ruth Ranzenburg and Mother said I couldn’t because I had a hole in the knee of my stocking and she didn’t have time to mend it right then. I went into the closet and cut a piece of material out of her black slip and mended my stocking with it. I really deserved to be spanked (didn’t I?).
We would go down to Utah to visit with my Grandma and Grandpa Harmon nearly every spring, then we would go down again in the fall and bring back a big load of fruit to bottle for winter, and also a lot of apples.
Our long winter evenings were spent eating apples and parched corn and playing games. One night, father was playing with Maybell when we were eating the corn. She began to laugh and drew some of the corn back into her throat. We all thought she would die before the corn could be removed.
