A Brief Biography of my mother, Eliza W. Brown" [daughter of John Brown and Sarah Munday.} written by Nephi Brown
...Her father, John Brown, was born at west Lavington December 13 1816, and grew up there as a plain, industrious, farm laborer, working for 25 years on the same farm at a wage of eight shillings a week, or about $2.00 in USA money. (at the time this history was written.

In this quiet village at about the age of twenty one, he married Sarah Munday, a girl about his own age. To them three daughters were born, Harriet, Sarah, and Eliza. Three other children were born to them, but died in infancy. the mother died of sudden illness when only about 30 years old. [Eliza then, went to live with her grandparents. They were kind to her ... however, were not in a position to keep her very long.

About a year later her father [John Brown] married Jane Wilkins. Mother, went home to live with them and when she was about five years old she began to go to school in a little thatched roof school house where the morning was spent in reading, writing and spelling. In the afternoon she was taught sewing.
My mother [Eliza} and her father and her brother, George Brown, all took a very keen interest in the teachings of these missionaries. she was very anxious to emigrate to Zion. [ Jane Wilkins Brown , Johns' second wife also died before the age of 30 due to poor health] [ Eliza kept house for her father and brother after her step mother, Jane passed away]

"A little more than two years slipped by and at the age of sixteen, the long looked for day arrived. On May 20, 1863 she with her father and brother, George, left England for Zion. Her sister Sarah remained in West Lavington. ...It took about two weeks to get to London and to make preparrations for the great journey. their ship, the "Amazon" was anchored in the Thames, and a company and a company of eight hundred and eighty two saints went on board that sailing vessel.

The interest and curiosity of that great English novelist, Charles Dickens, was aroused and he went aboard the ship before it sailed; he wanted to know just why and where such a large group of emigrants were going and to find out what impelled them to go. Mr. Dickens directly interviewed quite a number of Saints, and among those were, my mother, Eliza Brown and her father, John Brown and brother george, and his impressions of what he saw and heard that day on the "Amazon" appeared in considerable length in his book "Commercial Traveler". On June 4, 1863 the ship set sail for the "Promised Land" under the direction of elder William Bramwell. .

Harriet Brown Ward was a daughter of John Brown and Sarah Mundy, and was born at West Lavington, Wiltshire, England, October 5, 1838 and at the age of 11, through the death of her mother, the care of the family devolved upon her at that tender age, until her father was married to Jane Wilkins (mother of George Brown of this place) she then went out to work for her living, mean while taking advantage of opportunities for an education at high school for 4 years. She was so desirous of an education on that when her father married the second time she decided to go to school. She had to work to pay her way. The work she got was washing steps every morning. Her hands got so cold from being in the water so much that she had cilblains all up her arms. About this time her father's second wife died necessitating her to the home to look after the family, with an increased number of children and with the dying request of her mother to have the children taught the Principles of the Gospel and baptized in the church, resting upon her and she succeeded in carrying out that request in being baptized herself in 1849 by William Charman and was confirmed by John Halliday, the later being the first elder in that locality and in 1855 her two sisters, Sarah and Eliza were baptized by Edward Hannam. Her responsibilities in the home continued until she was 23 years of age when she was married to James Ward, March 16 1861 and set sail for Utah April 23, 1861 from Liver Pool, England on the ship "Under Writer" in a company of 624 Saints under the direction of Milo Andrus, Homer Dunkin and Chas W. Penrose. They arrived at New York, May 22 1861. Then went to Florence, now Omaha. Later they left there July 1, 1861 for Utah and arrived in Salt Lake, September 13, 1861 in the Joseph Horn Company. Her husband having worked his way across the plains in the direction of the first transcontinental telegraph line to Utah, she was deprived of his companionship until she met with him again in Utah. They proceeded on to Ogden and located on what is now the George Smuin property on Washington Avenue, where her first child, Sarah Jane, was born December 20, 1961. They after wards sold out at a small figure and moved further north and located on the John Holmes property in North Ogden, where her second child, Elizabeth was born, July 13. 1863.

All except Hubert have been married in the temple. Two have served in Ward Bishoprics. One served the Superintendency of Sunday School and others have filled positions of honor and trust. She endured all the hardships incident to the settling in the new and sterile country, giving birth to her first child in a cabin without a roof, when it was raining for 21 days; laying in wey bedding and through the blessings of the Lord did not take a cod. It should have been noted that she had walked all the way across the olains in a delicate condition, (see James Ward's life sketch) and waded all the streams. She told of many times, when she held her second child, she would carry the baby and the oldest one would walk to where she would wash fora lady all day, over a mile away. Then she was through the lady would giver a small piece of butter for pay. She would tell how there were so many Indians and how frightened she was of them. She said one day while she was away the Indians went in the house and took all her baby's dresses, which were few in number due to the scarcity of cloth.

My Father, John Riley Shaw, by Karen Shaw Thomas
Contributed By G. Shaw Soren · 8 July 2013

May 1993
My Father, John Riley Shaw, by Karen Shaw Thomas

Where do you begin to write a story about a man that you loved very much and whom you admired as a child growing up?

Such will be this story of my Father. It is almost unexplainable to put into words the feeling I have for my Father and he for me. While growing up and still to this day, I enjoy being outdoors. I could usually find my Dad out in his workshop. Don't ask me exactly what he did there - - but he would always be working on some project. I just liked being there with him. I can't remember ever having any indepth conversation with him - - it was merely that we understood each other and I loved to watch him work. Everyonce in awhile he'd have me
put something in the vice for him to hold while he was cutting it. I was his helper.

I was always proud that my father was a carpenter. I likened my father to doing the same work that Jesus had one while on this earth and I have always felt proud to tell people that my Dad was a carpenter. We got to see alot of progress of barns or houses going up and I only remember him working on the entire project. I can't remember anyone helping him.

Chyrl and I would walk down to the end of the road and wait for him to drive up at the end of a work day. Going through his lunch pail was a thrilling thing for me as a youngster. I really can't explain what made it so important, it just was.

Our Dad chewed tobbaco and had quite a big wad of Beechnut chewing tobbaco in his cheek alot of the time. I can remember getting into his hiding place for it under the front seat of the car and putting some in my mouth. It really burned my mouth and needless to say, I only did that once.

I would sit in the Model A Ford that he had for hours, hitting the starter button and with the clutch in and then out, would move the car up and down the driveway of the farm in Riverbank, California, teaching myself to drive. Dad would then let me drive the car on the country roads around our home. I was very proficient at driving at age 11. Dad encouraged me to drive and would say to me, "If your Mother ever gets very sick and needs to get to the hospital, you make sure you drive her there if I'm not home." I doubt that Mother even knew that he told me that, but in Dad's way, he loved Mother and did watch out of her well being.

I was proud of Dad being the Branch President in Oakdale, California, during the early 1940's. I had the opportunity to play the piano or lead the singing at Church and it was
probably because he chose me to do so. It was a great experience for the young girl that I was at the time.

I can remember having company for dinner and after they'd leave, Dad would lean back on the kitchen clair and say "Can we eat now" and laugh and laugh. He was saying that while company was there, you had to mind your manners and not eat too much, but after they left, bring on the food!!

Dad had a good sense of humor and I can remember him laughing at his own jokes and his face getting redder and redder the more he laughed.

I can also remember his favorite Sunday evening meal would be bread and cold milk, along with onions and cucumbers in vinegar. Mom and Dad also would make barrels of saurkraut.

Dad was a very giving person and would always make certain that Mom fixed food for the hobos that came by our place in California.

Last year, in 1992, I was able to attend the 50th Reunion of the Oakdale, California Ward. I wanted to be there for Dad because he was the fourth Branch President and served from 1944 to 1947. Dad was a good leader during this time and I am so very greatful that I wa:s born to be part of those years and to be his and Mom's daughter.

She use to sit in her chair and just ask us great grand kids about all of our sports, school, etc. She would tell us we could go get a candy out of her candy drawer but the nut roll was hers, we could not touch it. She would also go sit in her t.v. room with us and ask us if we would like to watch football or baseball. She loved sports and was constantly watching them. She was so kind and loving. She was one of the most unselfish people I have ever met. I loved her with all my heart.
