1947 (Saturday) – I arose early and commenced cleaning the closet off from the bathroom, after breakfast, I finished it. Afternoon – Bert (Charles Gilbert Lunt), Agnes (Agnes Coalter Golightly) and Robert (Robert Gordon Lunt), came in for a little while. Agnes related a little interesting incident that happened at their quarterly conference. She had given an announcement about the evening session. Brother Oscar Kirkham was the visitor and while talking, she told a little story about Brother Kirkham. In the afternoon he was the speaker and said he was going to tell a little story about another Lunt woman, which he didn’t know if it was a relative of Agnes. He was riding with Anton Ivins in Mexico. Brother Ivins said he wanted to call at a little cabin where lived one of the best women that ever lived. As they neared the cabin door opened and a woman rushed out and greeted Brother Ivins and was introduced to Brother Kirkham. This woman was Aunt Sarah Lunt (Sarah Ann Lunt), sister to my Husband’s (Alfred Oscar Lunt) Father (Alfred Lunt). She married Henry Lunt of Cedar City, in polygamy. They, with others, were down to Mexico as missionaries to settle among those people.
Years went by, Henry Lunt died and Aunt Sarah raised a family of boys (Egerton, Broughton, Parley L., Edward, Heaton, Alma L., Owen and Clarence L. Lunt; and foster son, Frank George). She would not leave there as she felt she had never been released from that call. The story he told was: one time some of those living near became discouraged and decided to leave. They had their teams all hitched up ready to go when Aunt Sarah came and stood in front of them and talked so convincingly of what their duty was that they returned again to their homes.
One of her boys visited us a short time ago and he told Oscar that they owed their success in life to their Mother as she was the one who got them started raising cattle, etc.
I’m very tired tonight as I have worked very hard today.
