INSPIRING EVENTS IN MY LIFE by IRENE SUTCLIFFE HURST
I was born in Providence, R. 1., 22 June 1924, to Lucy Price and William
Sutcliffe.
I was blessed in the LDS Church but never attended as there wasn't a Branch of the Church in that area while I was young and growing up. We lived in a village of 300 people in Greystone, R. I., about 10 miles from Providence. It was all English people who worked at the Woolen Mills. We lived in a village complex with others who worked at the mill.
When I was 12 years old, I felt strongly impressed that we should move to the
city of Providence. This was the depression years and we had no work so my
parents started a FISH & CHIP RESTAURANT in Providence. We traveled 15 miles from where we lived. My impression was so strong for us to move that I asked them many times to move. We finally made the move and I started in Roger Williams Jr. High in the eighth grade. I had been in a very small country school and I was scared and cried the whole first week. We stayed and it was at this time that the LDS Church started a Branch in Providence. My mother was a member and was contacted by the missionaries. She fed them free in the Restaurant and members came to see her. There were only about 20 members in the area of 40 miles. Only about 15 came to the Branch.
Brother Oscar Johnson came Home Teaching. I had nothing to do with the LDS Church as I was attending the Methodist Church and had many friends there. When I was 16, 1 left the restaurant and did not speak to the missionaries as my father said not to have anything to do with them. I went home and was doing my home work and getting ready to go to the movies with my mother when she came home. I heard a voice loud and strong say to me three times, "The MORMON CHURCH IS TRUE." It penetrated my heart so strongly I knew for positive that this was true. I felt so weak and humble and in tears and thrilled. On the way to the movies I said to my mother, "Would you take me to the Mormon Church on Sunday?"
She said, "Your father doesn't allow me to go." I couldn't tell her what had
happened to me, as it seemed too sacred to tell anyone at that time. She
finally said, "I'll take you once and show you the way to go on the street car
and then you'll have to go on you own." They met in a dirty old hall up town
and had to clean it out each week. We went once and I went on my own from then on. I went for a month and said I'd wait until summer to stop going to the Methodist Church. This was the 1st of December. At the end of December I went to the Methodist Church and told my Sunday School Class I would be leaving. The teacher said, "Her mother is a Mormon and that is why she is going." I stood up and said, "I am going to the Mormon Church because it is the TRUE CHURCH OF CHRIST." All my friends were there and none ever gave me any trouble for being a Mormon. My best friend, Betty Easton, also joined the church when she was 20.
The movie we went to see the night I told my mother about going to the church was BRIGHAM YOUNG. That really made me interested in that movie. I was stubborn and feel grateful the Lord gave me a revelation to let me know the church was true. My mother had tried to teach me the gospel and prayed for me every day that I would join. I never listened to her but I'm happy her prayers were answered.
I started going to church in December 1940 and was baptized on 27 July 1941 in the Atlantic Ocean early in the morning, at 6 AM. I started teaching Sunday School and attending Relief Society. Then I was called to serve as Young Women's President. In 1943 and 1944 1 served as a Home Missionary. The full time missionaries were all going home at the end of their two year missions and no more Elders came out as World War II was on. In 1942, 1 went to Salt Lake City on a visit with friends, J. B. and Myrtle Dixon and Hope Reeder. I was able to receive my Patriarchal Blessings at this time in
Salt Lake City by Brother Frank Woodbury. This was a great inspiration for me.
In October and November 1943, 1 went to Salt Lake City by train and while there I went to the Temple for my Own Endowments. President Reeder wanted me to go to the Temple so I could serve a mission and I wanted to receive my endowments.
While there I was able to have the work done for Grandfather Sutcliffe and I
did the temple work for Grandmother Sutcliffe. I served my mission in the
Providence, R. 1. area and we had some very successful converts at this time.
The many Navy men worked with us as missionaries to hold cottage meetings. They were returned missionaries and I learned the scriptures from them.
In 1944 my father and mother's restaurant had a fire. I was at work as a
secretary at the Kaiser Ship Yards. When I heard about it I felt badly. When I
arrived at the Restaurant my Dad said to me, "The Lord wants us to sell the
restaurant and move to ZION," Salt Lake City. I was overjoyed but surprised at Dad. We fixed the Restaurant and sold it and our home. I went to Washington, D. C., visited with friends, Betty Easton and Hope Reeder, for a week and my parents met me there and we drove in our car to Salt Lake. We stayed with cousins. My parents with Dick and Mary Morton and I with Bob and Martha Morton.
We were anxious to find a home to buy. Every time we found one something would go wrong and we were concerned as to why we couldn't get a home. Then after three months we found an old home on South Temple and 9th East which was made into four big apartments. We went to the 11th Ward to see how it was. 1200 members and not that many in all the New England Mission. This was the reason for us moving here as I met Floyd Harris Hurst the first Sunday. I bore my testimony and he said he knew he was going to marry me. The Lord has a way of moving us where he wants us.
Floyd and I met Jan 7, 1945 and were married on 22 June 1945. Then we were called to serve in the New England Mission in March 1946. We served two years and had a great learning experience. Not too many converts in those days. The people in Providence were wonderful to us and wanted to hear the Gospel.
I served in many callings, in the Primary for twenty years and while raising
our five children. Floyd was called to the Stake Presidency and then Bishop in
those 26 years and 20 years on South Salt Lake City Council. Many wonderful
experiences and friendships were made.
While there, Floyd spoke at a funeral and during this service I heard a voice
come to me like in a tunnel and said, "I am your Aunt Annie and need your
help," three times. So I went home to look at my Family Group Sheets. I
discovered my father had a sister, Annie. I had done their parent's work in
1943 and since then I had only done some for my mother's family. I never knew my relatives as they all lived in England. I was able to write to a cousin in England, Eva, and found out she was Annie's daughter. I said I needed this and prayed she would send me the information. She did in the 30 days I felt it
would take to receive it. I did the Baptism and Endowment and Sealed her to her husband. When I went to seal her to her parents I felt my Grandmother Sutcliffe and Aunt Annie embrace me and hug me. It was so beautiful. I said to my friend Lucille Cluny who was with me, "I have a Grandmother." She said, "Everyone does." Then she saw me crying and said, "You saw them in the Sealing Room." and I said, "Yes, I felt their arms around me and it was so beautiful. I also saw my Grandfather Sutcliffe by them too."
My mother was the youngest in her family and left England to come to America. She had known my Dad in England and he was here a year before her. When she came off the boat in Boston, he met her and they were married in Rhode Island right away. My mother had two sisters, Emma and Lizzie and a brother who had died. Mother wrote to Emma and Lizzie and sent gifts to them. Emma died and mother and I went to the Temple to do her temple work. Mother was proxy for Emma and Floyd and I for Grandfather and Grandmother Price. My mother died in 1953 of Cancer. I then wrote to Aunt Lizzie. All of mother's family had died but her. She wrote to me and said her son, George, had died and I would know what to do. They were all Catholics. Mother had taken George to the LDS Church in England as a boy and had him baptized. I had Floyd do his Temple work. Then in 1973 1 hadn't heard
from Aunt Lizzie for over a year and wrote to her address and asked what had
happened. Her grandson wrote and said she had died. I went to the Temple to do her Endowments and was pleased as she said to me, "Thank you, the Gate is Open." It was another wonderful experience. Since then as records became more available I was able to see the work was done for Aunt Emma's and Aunt Lizzle's husbands, work was done and had them sealed.
Irene Anne turned eight and was baptized in 1974. Jeri Lu Gehimich came to see Irene Anne when she was confirmed. She told us about a Youth Genealogy Program that she was graduating from. It sounded very good. I went to see it presented.
Floyd was Bishop of Kimball Ward at this time. He wanted me to start a
Genealogy Program for the youth. He had attended one when he was a teenager and loved it. The Program was called "HEART OF THE CHILDREN." It was well organized and an excellent way to interest the youth. We took a trip to Orem to visit Marjorie Judkins who made up the Kits. We decided to start a class in our Ward.
We had all the young men of MIA ages twelve through eighteen come and five
girls. Irene Anne was the youngest at age eight. We held the class at our home between Priesthood and Sunday School. There were twenty-three who came and graduated from the course. It was a lot of fun. We had all help and had breakfast with sweet rolls and juice.
We had some good times with the youth. Then started teaching the parents and adults in the Ward. Held many classes with a graduation and diplomas.
I was not experienced in research and needed the help of the Lord. One time Ann Wilson needed help and I was told what to do from the other side and found what she needed. She thought I was so good but I told her I had help and was told what to do to get her the information she needed to do the Temple work for her family.
Tammy Loock made a huge Book of Remembrance. She copied the records out of the Library on her mother's lines. She was twelve and the family was so proud of her. Then her sister Merrilee said she wanted to do some work on her father's lines. Don Loock, the father, was from Nebraska and from a big Catholic family.
No help from them at that time. We started looking through films from Germany and books at the Library. Some were Governors and Senators from Nebraska. But Gerhard Loock was not to be found. We only had information that he was a stowaway on a ship from Germany. When one day Merrilee was discouraged and ready to give up, I said, "I'll help you," and sent the other young people on there own. Merrilee was a young woman at this time. We picked up one film and I read on and found a Gerhard Loock's birth. I could not read German. The lady professional, who read German, came and read it and found out it was their ancestor. This gave information on his mother who was from a family of doctors.
The family in Nebraska was interested. They found a Great Aunt in California
who knew some of the family.
Then one day when Merrilee was so busy going to the University of Utah in
education and President of the Young Women's in the Ward, and she was also head of the Singles and took everyone to the Temple Square to walk around and visit tourists. She and two other girls spoke to a couple from Holland and found out they lived across the river from Germany where Merrilee's ancestors came from. When they went home they went to the town and found a man in the phone book with their name who was a doctor.
They sent the address to her. Merilee wrote to him and they were so excited as the family in Germany had been looking for Gerhard Loock for many years and never knew what had happened to him. He was from a wealthy family and one brother had gone to Russia and became a millionaire opening a Box Factory. They sent her a book with the family genealogy and names, dates and histories. She spent many years with a German researcher translating the names and sending the work to the Temple. She wrote a book on the family and became very special to the family. Also those on the other side of the Veil. Merrilee continued this work and later married and moved to Minnesota.
Many continued on in research and Temple Work. Our neighbor, Evelyn and Presley DuVall, started out to work six months on the DuVall line and have found thousands of names and are still finding them after fifteen years. They go to the DuVall Family Organization meetings all over the country and found
information in attics in Iowa.
David Dues was an active boy who was not quiet in the Library and I had to say he could not go anymore. When I was taking a group of boys in the Ward to the Library he wanted to go and I said, "No. Go with Mark Hurst, our son, to Tracy Scout Camp tubing." It was winter with lots of snow. He said he would be good and wanted to prove he would to me, so he went. Later he went on a mission and I had told him one day he could go and he would be a good missionary. I had not that in mind, but the Lord put the words in my mind. He went home and his Dad said, "What did you say to David? He is going on a mission." He came right back to the ward and asked my husband, who was Bishop, for an interview and filled out the papers. He was an outstanding missionary in Alaska. When he was married and in the line at the reception, he said to me, "I took my Book of Remembrance with me when I packed today." He said, "You were a part of the 'puzzle' to get me to this point and married in the Temple." These are great rewards to see people get the spirit of Elijah and Temple Work and redeeming their dead.
We moved to Bennion 12th Ward in 1979 and I taught classes there on
genealogical research and had many wonderful experiences with the members of the Ward.
Irene Anne still helped me and she was still great at finding names for temple
work to be done on our family lines. She liked doing the baptisms in the Salt
Lake and Jordan River Temples and then in Provo Temple when she was at BYU.
Floyd and I met Clara Tidd on our mission in the Lynn Branch Massachusetts
area. We were 15 miles from Boston. Clara and her mother were members who lived in Georgetown, Mass. the only members in Georgetown area and only members in their family. Clara and her mother came out to Utah while we were there and went to the temple in Salt Lake. They stayed with my mother and father while here.
Clara's mother died and Clara was going blind and in a wheel chair about 1970. She was not able to do Temple work or research on her family lines anymore. She asked my friend Lucille Cluny to help her but she was too busy doing genealogical work for the church. She asked me to help Clara. I started on her father's lines as her mother was from Sweden and I knew no Swedish. Her father came from Massachusetts, the same area as Joseph Smith, Brigham Young and Heber C. Kimball families. Clara tied into all these lines and many others with good records in New England, or mostly Massachusetts. I worked for over a year doing her lines and when finished I told her on tape her pedigree chart, which took four and one-half hours. Going back to William the Conqueror or in 1000's. I had many wonderful experiences working on these lines. I had at one time found 100 or more names which needed Temple work done. Since they were mostly the Prophet's lines I felt I should not do them. I had the papers on the table in the library and pushed them aside but I would look and see them right in front of me three times. Then a voice said, "They are Clara's ancestors too." So I sent them in for Temple work. We had some boys in the ward do the males baptisms and Irene Anne did the female with other girls from the Ward. I wanted to do the endowments and sealings but had back problems and had to go in for surgery. One night I had a dream when all these people came to me and said they would be there to welcome me when I came to the other side for seeing their Temple work was done and Embrace me with open arms. I woke up and was crying and my pillow was wet with tears I had shed while in this dream. The next morning I called Salt Lake Temple and told them I wanted to have the work done for these people that day as I was going in for back surgery. Hannah knew me from submitting names and said she would hold the names for me. I said, "No, do them today." As I knew they wanted the work done immediately and then I felt a special peace at the end of that day.
When Jordan River Temple was dedicated, I went with my family to one of the dedicatory sessions. When we were in the Endowment Room waiting for the service to start I sat and closed my eyes and I saw the Prophet Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, John Taylor and all the Prophets come into the Celestial Room even though its view was closed, and I remembered White-haired David 0. McKay and his sweet face. All the Prophets were there and then they said as soon as all were there the service would start. I was overwhelmed at what I saw and said, "Why me?" A voice said, "Because you have done work for their families." I knew it was Clara's family whom I had done the work for and the Prophet's families.
Clara has continued to call me over the years with the names of her family who have died to do the Temple work for them. Also many friends. I have enjoyed these experiences and have witnessed the feeling and some to say they are thankful for their work being done.
Clara had a friend of fifty years, Larissa, from Russia and when she died Clara
wanted her Temple work done. She called me and gave me the information she had which was not much. I sent for her Death Certificate and that helped. I wrote to government agencies too. I did find her and her mother on the Ellis Island records at the Library. Larissa saw her father and brothers killed in their
home in Moscow, Russia, when she was 14 during a Revolution. She was from a wealthy family with a home in Moscow and one in the county. When she and her mother came to America they went to California and that is where Clara met her.
Larissa was a WAC during World War 11. She then went into the CIA as a Russian Intelligence Worker and wrote the Book on Russian Intelligence. Later she worked for the Library of Congress as the CIA let her go as her sister in
California went back to Russia to see family left there. They didn't want
Larissa to have any contact with Russia. When I wrote for information on her
the Government said she had a file number but no file on her. It had been taken out of the files. I was able to get enough information on her and her parents and also grandparents to do the Temple work. When we were doing the sealings in the Temple she said, "Thank you for helping our family. We can be together now."
When I did Aunt Annie's temple work I also did her husband's too. Several years later I had a letter from Mary Summers in Australia who wanted to know me as I had done her Uncle's temple work. That was Annie's husband. Mary and her husband, Tom, met in England and both had gone to Catholic convents for school.
They moved to Australia and after ten years there joined the Mon-non Church.
They owed a glass factory in Canaberra. Mary checked the IGI and found her
Uncle's Temple work done. She wrote to Salt Lake Library and found out it was I who had done the work. Then she wrote to me and we have
corresponded ever since. I have helped her whenever I could to find her family records. I was able to locate her grandfather for her and she sent for his Birth Certificate. It is good to make such a nice friend. She now is in charge of Family History Library for the church in Canaberra, Australia.
When working on my father's family lines I could not find our Grandmother Sarah Fletcher in England. I had checked the Census Records and Parish Records. I left the library discouraged that day as I didn't know where to search anymore.
I had found a Sarah Fletcher but she was born earlier than I had thought from
the census. When I left the Library, I knew my father was walking beside me and I listened to hear what he would say. He said, "You have found our grandmother. All the records you found with their names are ours." When I reached my car I wanted to shout, "Wonderful, I found her." When I reached home I checked all the records I had found on the Parish Records and wrote out many, many Family Group Sheets with the families on. Then we could do the Temple work. When Irene Anne came home from school she asked what I was doing and I told her what happened. We both were so excited for we were anxious to do the Temple work for our family.
We wanted to find information on the Carpenter line. Silvia and Bob Blum worked on their genealogy and said they knew of a book on the Carpenters. They had written to people to find out. They came to Salt Lake and we went to the Library and asked a genealogist. Lorin, who I knew from relatives in Kimball Ward. He told us of the book and found it for us. We were very excited and it was large. We found the direct line on the Carpenters. Sylvia and Bob did not have a Temple in Seattle then, so I started checking on the people to see what Temple work had been done. Lots were done, but I found many to do. We submitted the names and did the work for them.
One night I was at the Library and had taken others from Kimball Ward and was sitting waiting for them to come and go home when a lady's voice said to me, "You were baptized near our home." I thought about it and knew it was the Carpenters. I was baptized at age seventeen in the Atlantic Ocean at Goodard Park. It was a place that we never went to so I had to think where it was. I remembered it was at East Greenwich, R.I. where the Carpenters lived.
One summer Floyd, Irene Anne and I flew to Massachusetts where Claudia was living. Ray was going to the U. of Massachusetts. Emily was a baby or 1 1/2 years old. While visiting them, Claudia and Emily went with us to R. 1. for a trip. We visited friends there and saw the area. Our big event for us was to go to the Goodard Park and find where the Carpenters lived. We asked at the Public Library and they said all their records were copied and in Salt Lake at the Library. We had Checked these so asked questions of where the Robert Carpenter lived. They did not know, so I asked where Chanty Roberts lived, his first wife. The family came through the second wife and all we knew was her name, Mercy. They said that she lived down the road near the water. We went down to the area and saw the house which was a half-block from the place I was baptized. We were so thrilled and shed some tears. This was wonderful to know these people on the other side of the veil know us and what we are doing.
I remembered when I lived in R. I. we went through East Greenwich to our summer cabin and I always thought I would like to know some of these people and would like to be related to them.
This was the area that Arvella Thorne Hurst's family settled back in 1636 soon
after Roger Williams settled R. 1. area. The Carpenters came from England and was given land in Rehoboth, Massachusetts on the border of R. I. and went over to settle there.
35084. Charles Sherwood Carpenter

35085. Arthur Bernarr "Herman" Carpenter Sr.
When I was about 35 years old, my father, Harry Murdock Carpenter told me that Bernarr commited suicide because his wife died and he couldn't stand living without her. I Haven't been able to verift this - Joyce Sharpley

35086. Helene Byington Carpenter
Washington Death Index 1940-1996
Certificate #029231In Joseph Murdock's genealogy report it states that Helene married a Karl Wagner, and they had one son, Karl Wagner. I don't have any information on this marriage and it would have been before her marriage to Albert Van Sant.
Mrs. Albert Van Sant of 1100 University is the informant on her mother's (Grace Murdock Carpenter) death certificate.
Soc Sec Death Index
Karl Wagner and child is listed in Joseph Wagners Murdock genealogy report as Helen's husband and one child. There are no dates for this marriage, so I can't compare it with her dates of marriage to Albert VanSant. So, I don't know if Joseph had the wrong name, or if Helene was married previous to Albert.
35087. Harry Murdock Carpenter
The following is a story my father, Harry Murdock Carpenter, told me when I was 40 years old:
When he was 16 years old his mother, Grace Murdock Carpenter, told him that his biological father was Daniel Sanford Garlick (2/1/182-11/19/192?) who lived in the boarding house that Grace Murdock Carpenter ran. Arthur Carpenter had gone to Australia for 10 years and left her with five children to fend for herself, so she opened her home as a boarding house. Daniel Sanford Garlick was a boarder there. My father remembers when Mr. Garlick died at the boarding house when my father was a child. At the time, he thought Mr. Garlick was his grandfather. I have not been able to prove this, nor will I be able to prove it. I have DS Garlick's family line back to the 1700's however. I also have a picture of his son from his marriage. There is no family resemblence at all to my father in this picture. In the 1910 census of Seattle, Arthur Devere was listed at home, and, according to Who's Who, Arthur was working in Seattle at the time.
