Jude
is the second child in a family of fourteen children. He was not able to obtain
much schooling but he did enjoy reading, especially church doctrine. These he
loved to read to his children and grandchildren. His father was a farmer so the
boys helped with work on the farm and the many chores. He loved animals and
felt they should have good care they were always fed before he ate.
Rosalie
grew to young womanhood, receiving her schooling at the little pioneer school
which consisted mainly of learning the three R's. However, as with many
pioneers, she somehow learned the many things which go into the making of a
great lady.
While stories of crossing the plains and of
the Indians were being told the young girl was helping her mother and learning
to weave cloth, spin yarn, strip cane to be made into molasses. After Pres.
Snow organized the United Order Rosalie had the experience of living that
order. When the Primary was first organized she was called to be President in
Perry, although she was very young at the time.
