      JAMES NATHAN HENRIE, 5th child of James & Christena (Schow) Henrie, was b. 28 Apr. 1874, Panguitch, Utah [bapt. 3 Aug. 1882, end. 19 Dec. 1894], d. 1930s, Panguitch, and bur. there 19 Feb. He m. 11 Dec. 1894, in Panguitch, to Sarah Olive Lee, dau. of Harvey Parley & Sarah Ellen (Adams) Lee She was b. 21 Mar. 1875, Panguitch [bapt. 5 June 1884, end. & S.to H. 19 Dec, 1894]. The following sketch was compiled by Sarah Olive.

      James Nathan Henrie was a successful farmer and livestockman, which occupation he followed all his life. He prided himself on his fine horses, and many were the good times they furnished the old and young. In those days, when snow would pile up high in the valley, the people would bring out their fine teams, sleighs, and sleighbells. They would sleigh race until the wee small hours of the morning, the best team winning the honors. James Nathan’s horses came in for their share of the applause. Horseback riding was the diversion for the summer months.

      Sarah Olive’s parents moved to Arizona when she was two years old. They lived at Layton and she walked a mile each day to school at Safford, taking her lunch. During the recess and noon periods she spent her time in sewing quilt blocks, which she later put together into a quilt for her trousseau. Due to Indian troubles and malaria, her family moved to Panguitch.

      In Panguitch Sarah Olive and James Nathan (Nash) attended the same schools. After finishing the elementary grades, they enrolled in Panguitch Academy, under Professor John C. Swenson, for about 2 years.

      Not many years after their marriage they built a large brick hone, which is still owned by Sarah Olive (Sade) on a farm they had purchased in the southeast part of Panguitch.

      In the year 1921 his brother John Nathaniel was called by death, his wife Emma having preceded him. Just before John Nathaniel died, he asked Sade and Nath to take his son Ercil into their home and care for him as one of their family. Later Hazel, the second wife of John Nathaniel, asked Sade and Nath to take LaVera, the youngest of his family, and later Emma, the other daughter, went to live with them. Then still another member was added to the family of Sade and Nath when Fern Slade, a 22 month old baby girl, was taken to their home. Fern was the daughter of James Ray Slade and his second wife Brenda Worthen, who had died. Fern Henrie, oldest child of Sade and Nath, was the first wife of James Ray Slade; she had died during the 1919 flu epidemic. These four children added to the six of their own made a large family, out they received all of the loving care and kindness given to their own children. They remained in this home until their marriage.

      Sade and Nath loved to travel and made many trips. Several times they visited southern California, seeing relatives and friends. They visited the World’s Fair at San Diego. When the Pacific and Atlantic fleets met in San Diego Harbor, they were on hand to witness the parade of 130 vessels. They visited Catalina Island, riding in glass bottomed boats, seeing the underwater [p. 243] sights, and touring the island. They made a trip to Yellowstone Park with a party of 23 others, eating their meals together and singing campfire songs. In San Francisco they took trips on the sight seeing cars, crossed Golden Gate Bridge and visited Golden Gate Park, saw the earthquake area of the city, the ocean front, and passed in front of the military guns concealed in the shrubbery, loaded and ready to fire if occasion arose.

      James Nathan Henrie always participated in civil and church affairs. He was 1st counselor in the High Priests Quorum, chairman of the Genealogical Committee for 4 yrs.; president of the Old Folks Committee (a position he enjoyed very much). In civic affairs, he was a member of the Board of County Commissioners; he was later made chairman of the same, which position he held for 14 yrs.; was director in the Southern Equitable Store; president of the Panguitch Roller Mill; city councilman; state committeeman of the Republican Party; during World War II he was a member of the local Board for Garfield County; was member and president of Panguitch Livestock Co. and served as manager as long as the company existed; member of the board of the West Irrigation Co. and an executive committee member. He always took an active part in the upbuilding and development of the resources of the country. He was a man of noble character, well known for his sterling worth in public and in private life; he was humble and unassuming, deliberate in counsel, and did not make hasty conclusions.

      Sarah Olive worked diligently in many church capacities. She was counselor and president of the Y.L.M.I.A., and at the same period was secretary of Sunday School. She was a teacher in primary, supervisor of religion classes, counselor for 6 yrs. of Relief Society; then she was set apart by Elder Melvin J. Pa lard as 2nd counselor in the Stake Relief Society. This position she held for 15 yrs. In 1940 she was made president of the Stake Relief Society and held this position for 4 yrs., making in all 28 consecutive yrs. service in that organization. She was also corresponding secretary of the D.U.P.

      She has been a widow for the past 21 yrs. She has made valuable use of her time by reading good books and raising beautiful flowers. These she has shared with friends, neighbors, and the sick. She has plied her needle in the making of many pieces of embroidery, pillow cases, luncheon sets, etc. Travel has continued to be a source of diversion–she has enjoyed touring with her children. Her happiest days have been when she and all her family were at the family home at one time, enjoying dinner, with their feet under her large dining table. She still lives in the home and does all her own work, where she finds time to enjoy her many friends.

It was a dreaded trip, crossing the Sevier River when it had overflowed its banks or frozen. She was the youngest of 7 children. Because of illness of her mother her older sister cared for the family, but calamity befell them when this sister died at the age of 18. At the close of the school year Rosemond went to live with her teacher, Blanche Langford, in Antimony, Utah. After Miss Langford’s marriage to John H.
