She was b. 19 Jan. 1875, Porterville, Morgan Co., Utah [bapt. 1883, end. & S.to H. 1920s]. [He was bapt. 1868, end. 18 June 1879.]
The following sketches were written by Myra Mayall (Henrie) Evans, dau. of Samuel Osburn & Ellen (Clark) Henrie:
When he was 11 years of age, Samuel Osburn came with his parents to Panguitch, Utah, and helped to drive a herd of cattle to their new home. Most of his life he was engaged in farming and sheep raising, herding sheep, and freighting. As a lad he was thrifty and energetic and soon had saved money to buy a few sheep of his own. As years went on he prospered in almost every undertaking and soon acquired lands and property, and built one of the finest homes in Panguitch.
He led an active life, but in his later years his health failed to the extent that he had to retire from strenuous work and active business. He was an energetic church worker and a faithful Latter-day Saint. His enterprise and diligence made him a man of influence in the community.
His first wife, Ellen “Nellie” Clark, was a beautiful girl, possessed with a fine voice, and she loved to sing and entertain at all times. When only 13 years of age she went to work for a woman who put her in a potato pit to sort potatoes. She was kept in the damp place all day, took a severe cold, and complications set in leaving her with a lame leg, which bothered her the remainder of her life. Because of this condition she could not attend school but helped with the younger children at home. Her father was a tanner by trade. He died early in life, leaving a family of 16 children to the care of his wife who had to work for their support. Nellie had to do all she could to care for the home and children while her mother worked.
She had a beautiful alto voice and sang in the choir and at entertainment. One time after the closing session of conference she started singing. The choir joined in and sang until the house was empty.
At 18 years of age she went to work for James and Rhoana Henrie. The family had moved out of the fort at Panguitch and were denied the protection of its strong walls. One day while Nellie was singing lustily, she heard a noise and went into the next room to investigate. Old Pipengripes, a burley Indian, stood in the room and began begging for everything he had language to ask for. Nellie was very frightened but stood her ground. However, when the Indian sank crosslegged to the floor, drew out a knife, and began to sharpen it on his [p. 198] moccasin, she felt she could not stand the strain, She knew he was afraid of Jim Henrie so she went to the door and said, “Here comes Brother Henrie. You had better go quick or he’ll get after you.” The Indian Jumped to his feet and ran as fast as he could out of the house, and Nellie locked the door.
One evening Nellie and Samuel Osburn started to the corral to do the evening milking. James had just returned from performing a marriage ceremony and called to them to come back. They stood before him and he said, “Sam, you and Nellie put the milk buckets down and I’ll marry you.” After the ceremony ended they proceeded with the task at hand and did the milking.
After the birth of her first baby, Nellie would gather all the neighborhood children into her home and teach them to sing. She composed most of the words and the music. After the singing lesson was over she popped corn, made molasses candy, parched wheat, and made balls of molasses syrup, etc. She always had a few nuts, apples, or other delicacies for her parties.
They made a home in the mountains of the Mammoth side of Panguitch and raised cattle and sheep. Nellie made butter and cheese and was famous for her food products.
One day she discovered a mouse hole in her milk cellar and went to a creek some distance away for clay to stop the hole. She lost her footing and slipped into the icy stream. Her health was already impaired and the cold bath was more than her system could endure. She became very ill, and since there was no doctor near to relieve her suffering, her husband took her to Panguitch, where he hoped to get help. She grew worse and he started to Provo with her, but she was not able to endure the trip and died 13 July 1890. She was buried at Provo in the city cemetery.
When a young child, Hettie LaVina Hortt, second wife of Samuel Osburn Henrie, went with her parents from Porterville to Orderville, Utah, where they participated in the United Order. Eight years later the family moved to Fredonia, Coconino Co., Arizona, a small settlement to the south and not too many miles distant. She learned to knit and darn and assisted in the fields with planting, harvesting, stripping cane, topping it, and feeding it into the mill while her father cared for the other details of molasses making.
Hettie loved flowers and beautiful surroundings and worked hard to produce both. Her yards were a riot of bloom from early spring to late summer. Frost in the high altitude of Panguitch, where she lived after her marriage, came late in the spring and early in the fall, but she somehow managed to achieve almost the impossible with her plants, trees, and shrubs. Today she has one of the loveliest yards in the town. Her home inside also produces lovely and rare plants throughout the winter; it is almost like a florist’s hothouse.
Hettie was, and still is active in church work at the age of 88. She was a Relief Society visiting teacher for many years, home missionary for 2 years, assisted in Red Cross work, and worked in the temple. Although she is growing older and not able to do all the strenuous things she formerly did, she still loves to do what she can. She visits her children and brings happiness into their homes when she is there. She says, “All my life I have done housework and the rearing of my family has been my life’s satisfaction.” She reared not only her own 9 children but helped with the care of the first wife’s family.

She was patient and kind to all, especially the old and crippled. She made her home a haven for those unable to help themselves. She was independent, want no sympathy, ;just a chance to meet and square herself with life.

When a very young girl, Melle and some companions were crossing the Green River in a car on the ice, near Moab or that vicinity. The ice was not thick enough to bear the weight and plunged through. For a short time the car lodged sideways leaving barely enough room for the four of them to escape through a window before it sank to the bottom in about 20 feet of water. While the family was living on a farm near Green River she went with her father to help with the sheep After the work was finished she mounted her pony and started for home, a few miles away. An electric storm arose before she reached the house. A bolt of lightning struck and killed the horse and rendered her unconscious.

MYRA MAYALL (HENRIE) EVANS
MYRA MAYALL HENRIE, 4th child of Samuel Osburn & Ellen (Clark) Henrie, was b. 18 Apr. 1884, Panguitch, Utah [bapt. 5 Nov. 1893, end. & S.to H. 1930s in the St. George (L.D.S. Temple)]; m. 20 Aug. 1902, Provo, Utah, to David Hyrum Evans, s. of Joseph & Temperance (Penrod) Evans. He was b. 18 Apr. 1882, Provo [bapt. 1890, end. 1930s].
Myra (Mae) received her early education in Panguitch then attended the Brigham Young University. There she met David Hyrum Evans, whom she later married. They lived on Provo Bench (now Orem) for a number of years and had 3 children born there. They both worked in the cannery, the first one ever operated on Provo Bench. Hyrum (Hy) learned the soldering trade and operated the sealing of the cans and Mae helped with packing them. They were at this business for 2 years. They then moved to Panguitch for a time, and thence to Hatch, where they have lived until the present time.
When they moved to Hatch, they lived on a farm and also homesteaded a place in the canyon above Hatch. They were prospering and had a good start ir life. They raised livestock and feed to take care of them. One summer while living on the homestead a sudden and very severe storm arose. The family were all at dinner, which was very fortunate. Suddenly a roaring, crashing sound came to their ears, and looking out the door they saw the whole canyon, trees, rocks, and earth coming toward them. They snatched the younger children and [p. 205] ran for their lives to higher ground. They had to cross a wash that was full of water and Mae and a four months old baby were caught in the stream. She struggled frantically to reach the opposite side and still clutched the baby in her arms. Hy had succeeded in getting all the others across and turned back to rescue her and the baby. Safe at last on the hill, they stood and watched all their earthly possessions swept away and buried many feet deep in mud and debris. They walked several miles to Hatch and found shelter and dry clothes with neighbors and friends. It was impossible reclaim the land or rebuild, so they sought for a new start in life.
They were always faithful church workers and Hy was the first mayor of Hatch. Mae worked in every organization of the church and in every capacity. The following letter written to the Good Neighbor Editor of the Deseret News tells more of her life:
March 9, 1949, Dear Good Neighbor Editor:
When the Master was asked by the lawyer, “Who is my neighbor?” he replied with the parable of the Good Samaritan, with which we are all familiar.
There resides, in a little town of Hatch, Utah, near Bryce Canyon, a woman who has acted the part of the Good Samaritan not once, not dozens of times, but literally hundreds of times. I should like to give a brief account of the life of this loving and courageous woman and let you give her consideration.
Affectionately known as Aunt Mae to townspeople, people all over the United States, and even farther, this good woman is the mother of 12 children of her own, grandmother to 41 living grandchildren, and great grandmother to an additional 4 little ones. Also she raised a son of a transient fellow who came through. The lad was probably ten years old when the old man left him with her and she kept, supported, loved and mothered him until he went into the army, and has written to him since as if he were really her very own.
She is 65 years old and seldom has been in normal health. Her life has not been one of roses as she has never enjoyed the comforts that are known to so many of us.
Never has she experienced the labor-saving luxury, as she calls it, of running water in the home. The house is void of plumbing and automatic heat. Only recently has she had electricity. Her food is prepared over a kitchen range, filled with wood gathered from the hills by her men folk. The water for all purposes is either drawn from a well or dipped from the canal and carried into the house in buckets.
To help with the finance she has been janitor of the local school, sweeping, dusting, and even firing when necessary.
She has taken time to sing in the local choir, teach a Primary class for years, and act as a stake missionary for her church, all of this and plenty more odd requirements in the ward and town.
Each summer, with the toil of her own hands and the help of her husband, she raises a garden and flowers which are the pride of the whole town and which she has bounteously shared with one and all. Her powers in this field are attested to by the several prizes she has won in a civic way for the flowers and vegetables she has grown.
Each year she cans, with her own efforts, between 1000 and 1500 quarts of fruit and vegetables. You may wonder at this great quantity, and it is to this part of her life that I wish to call your attention. [p. 206]
As far back as her children can remember she has played the part of hotel (free one), Salvation Army, community chest, social worker, and mother to hundreds of persons. She seeks no recognition, no personal glory, no praise for her labors of love, but the letters that she receives from all parts of the United States, from New York to California, express appreciation for the kindness and the love that have been given them within the walls of the humble Evans home.
Never has she turned anyone away hungry, cold, or inadequately clothed, or without all the aid she could possibly administer. Never has she received a penny in return for her generosity. She feeds, with the best she has on hand, all of those who come to her door. They are cared for one night or dozens, as the case requires, The warmth of her heart is enjoyed by them equally with her family. Only once, she relates, has anyone been fed other than at the table used by the family, and that one person had the same good food and was seated comfortably on the porch to enjoy it.
She has many times given of the family clothing to those who were traveling through and seemed underclad. If they needed money and she had fifty cents, she gave them fifty cents. If she had a dollar, she gave them a dollar; and always they left with a nice lunch packed in their pockets.
The general public might call of these guests of Mother Evans’ “hobos” but to her they were God’s children who were in need of the necessities of life and the encouragement and love of a good woman.
One cold winter night Mr. Evans, having no car of his own, came to my husband and said, “I have found out there was a poor old man passed through town a little while ago. He probably does not know how far it is to the next town. If you will take your car we will go and overtake him and bring him back and Mother Evans will give him a good warm meal and a clean bed for the night. We will see that he goes on his way in the morning properly taken care of. It is a cold night and he might meet with tragedy if he is left to himself.”
My husband related to me the joy in the old man’s heart and the tears in his voice and eyes as he entered the car and returned to where some one cared what happened to him.
Some considerable distance from Phoenix, Arizona, a young mother was left with a small child, by the death of her husband. In trying to reach her father in Phoenix, she spent for food the money she had and was hitching rides to her destination. The person who brought her into Hatch knew of the generosity of Mother Evans and sent her there for the night. She was ill, having a terrible pain in her side. She was comfortably put to bed and given food, nursing care, and all else necessary, and the little girl was tended and cared for during several days. It was determined that the pain was due to carrying the child along the highway. When she was able to depart and the Evans’ didn’t have bus fare for her, they took up a collection from the townspeople and a ticket was purchased for the balance of her trip.
These are only two of the hundreds of like true stories that Mrs. Evans could relate, but probably do so with reluctance.
Her love for humanity is a real and tangible thing. Anyone who comes under her roof immediately feels uplifted and wanted. Food by the basket and bedding, heat, and other necessities of life would amount to vast quantities, but greater than these are the courage and faith she imparts to the recipients of her kindness. Many have been brought to a desire to [p. 207] use their own powers and rehabilitate themselves through her encouragement and great love.
If in the eyes of man Mother Evans is not counted a winner, most certainly she is in the eyes of her Creator. She calmly says, “He that does it unto the least of these, my brethren, has done it unto me” and “He that sayeth he loveth his God and hateth his fellowmen, the same is a liar and the truth is not in him.” Truly Mother Evans loves her God.
Thank you for your kindness in reading and considering this letter.
