Jerome Bradley Henrie

      JEROME BRADLEY HENRIE, 7th child of Daniel & Amanda (Bradley) Henrie, was b. 25 Nov. 1859-60, in Manti, Utah [bapt. 1868, end. 27 Mar. 1889], d. 1940s. He m. (1) 27 Mar. 1889, Manti, to Mary C. Westenskow, dau. of Hans Peter & Anne (Madsen) Westenskow. She was b. 3-13 Nov. 1868, Manti (end. & S.to H. 27 Mar. 1889]; she d. 16 Feb. 1892, in Manti.

      Jerome Bradley Henrie m. (2) 17 May 1893, Manti, Utah, Thea Annie Lund, dau. of Thomas Sorensen & Andrea Martha (Christensen) Lund. She was b. 13 Apr. 1870, Salem, Utah [bapt. 1880, end. & S.to H. 17 May 1893]; d. 1930s, Manti.

      Jerome lived with his married sister Myra Olson, in Moroni, Utah, from the age of 12 years until he was 23 (see p. 58). When he was 15 he went into the hills of Moroni with Jeff and Jim Bradley to get wood. While chopping, a band of Indians came out of the timber and the boys fled for their lives. Not being familiar with harnesses, the Indians cut them off from the horses and escaped with them.

      When he was about 24 years of age he was one of the early day freighters between Pioche, Nevada, and Eureka, Utah, and came into contact with many rough characters. one night as they were sitting around the campfire some friendly freighters were telling them about a notorious outlaw who was known to be in that part of the country. They felt rather uneasy when they retired for the night as he had the reputation of being a very hard man and allowed no one to cross him. Imagine their surprise and terror in the morning when who should ride into their camp but this outlaw and his followers. After a few minutes of strained conversation, the outlaw turned to one of the man and asked him if he was a Mormon. The man, afraid to offend him, answered that his folks were but he had not thought much about it. The others evaded the same question as it was put to them in the same manner. Finally he said to Jerome, “Are you a Mormon?” to which Jerome replied, “Yes, I am a Mormon to the backbone,” whereupon he slapped him upon the back and said, “That is the kind of a man I like to see.”

      When 28 years of age, Jerome married Mary Westenskow, a gifted seamstress and singer. Their marriage was short and sad. They lost their first two babies very soon after birth, and Mary and the third baby died soon after its birth. She was only 23 years of age. After this abrupt break in a promising and happy future, Jerome was called on a two-year mission to the Manti Temple. Here he met Thea Annie Lund, who was a supervisor in the Temple dining room. One year later they were married. Fate was kind to him in this new venture. He now had a lovely and congenial companion who assumed more than her half of the responsibility of making and maintaining a home. Her first and last thought was for her children and her home was a mecca for relatives and friends seeking her wise counsel and comforting words in time of trouble and sorrow. She had the sole responsibility of caring for her father-in-law, Daniel Henrie, who was bedridden the last three years of his life. Their six children were all respected citizens in their different walks of life. But Thea could not stand the rigorous program which seemed to be her lot and died with heart disease at the age of 67. [p. 103]

      Their early married life was spent in the mountains of six-mile canyon where Jerome logged pine, part of which went into a new home that was built in Manti. They spent another two years living on her father’s farm between Manti and Ephraim, Utah. After moving into their new home in Manti, he engaged in farming and stock raising. He was a man devoted to his home, true to his religion, and never tired of telling of his father’s experiences as a member of the Mormon Battalion.

      Late in life he had gland trouble, and while in the Salt Lake City Hospital waiting for an operation, he slept quietly away, March 25, 1946, at the age of 86 years.
