History: David William Rowley

Ralph (Ralph Alcorn Rowley) wrote and asked if we could come down to El Paso, Texas to see them. I decided to take my vacation and Hubert (Hubert Tidwell) said we might as well go in his almost new van, so we would have a place to sleep. We took along quite a bit of food, which was lucky, as it turned out. All went well at first. We spent my birthday in the Saint George Temple and started in from there. To make a long story short, in trying to make a short cut we got lost and spent 3 days in the desert. We didn’t even know what state we were in for Thanksgiving Day. Later we found out that we didn’t see anything alive except a stray cow or two and a rabbit.

The full account of this scary adventure can be found in Stella’s (Estella Cordelia Tidwell) life story, but let me say this…if the Lord hadn’t answered our prayers and hadn’t helped and protected us several times we would never have gotten out of there alive and we wouldn’t have been found until spring. Hubert burned the engine up in his van and had to wait to get a new one. We took the bus back to Bountiful and were thankful to be home safely.

All the family had Christmas dinner at Grace’s (Grace Harriet Rowley) that year, then Stella and I stayed with her children while Grace (Donna Diane, Ronald Steven and Lillian Lorraine Smith) went to Texas. Cheryl (Cheryl Jeanette Smith) had taken the car and driven there a few days before. Grace decided to let Cheryl stay with Ralph for a while and she came back around the first of the year.

This year of 1966 started off with a bang. On 23 January 1966 Clayton (Clayton Alcorn Rowley) and Jana (Janevie Clegg) added a little girl to their family. Charrielynn was the name she was given and she brightened that home considerably.

Then in March, Marge (Marjorie Ann Judkins) and Dwain (Dwain Eugene Judkins) added another son to their family. This was their sixth child and fifth son. He was born on 13 March 1966 and was named Darrell Wayne Judkins. When Dwain told Dwana (Dwana Kay Judksin) she had another brother she went to her room and cried, she was tired of brother. As it turned out, she realized that this new little brother was pretty special and she would keep him after all!!!

Grace’s troubles were not over – it was discovered that she had cancer. They flew her to Lackland Air Force Hospital in Texas for cobalt treatment. Estella and I stayed at her home and took care of her children, the three still at home, for seven weeks. We went to a school program while we were there and Estella accidentally fell into a hole in the parking lot and hurt her back. She has had to have lots of treatments. She has never gotten over the effects of that fall.

In April, Harold (Harold Norman Johnson) and Myrna Jean and Virginia (Virginia Fern Johnson) and her husband (Chad Layne McKnight) came down for conference. The Mormonaires, a group they sang with was furnishing the music for the Priesthood session. Stella was so happy. This was the first time she had seen little Cory McKnight, Virginia’s baby. Virginia sat at the piano and played so many beautiful pieces and then they sang for us. We recorded some of it.

June was a big month for us. First, Emerson (Emerson Adis Rowley) and Sarah (Sarah Marie Alderson) came to see us and Estella finally had met all of my family. While they were still with us, Ralph and his family stopped in for a few days on their way to Glasgow, Montana where he had been assigned. Then on June 10th, Francis (Hugh Francis Rowley) and Erma (Erma Thornton) came to pick us up to go on a trip we had planned with them. I had been wanting to take my wife to Montana ever since we got married. In order for Estella to stand the ride I would take her on a fast walk around the block whenever we stopped for gas or something. Even at that she rode a lot of the time on her knees because it hurt her so bad to sit.

They settled into their new home and it was good to have them there. They invited us over for Easter Sunday and a lovely dinner. I always tried to keep things in repair for Grace (Grace Harriet Rowley) as much as possible. I also tried to help her with the children (Cheryl Jeanette, Donna Diane, Ronald Steven and Lillian Lorraine Smith) but I couldn’t seem to, not as much as I would like to have done, anyway.

In July of that year I had to go back to the hospital. Grace’s little girl, Lori, was in there at the same time with a kidney operation. We visited with each other, I had an infection that kept me from going back to work for quite a while, so we took a trip out to Myton, Utah and stayed with Stella’s (Estella Cordelia Tidwell) friends, Howard and Virginia Roberts. They took us to the dinosaur museum and to where they were digging the bones out of the mountain. It surely was interesting. We also took an interesting trip over to Flaming Gorge with them.

In the early part of October, Hugh (Hugh Alcorn Rowley) and Gail (Gail Jensen) came for a short visit. It was nice having little Carol (Carol Annette Rowley) in our home. They were good enough to make room for Estella to go back with them so she could see California and have a visit with her daughter, Geneal (Geneal Rose Johnson). She was able to get the two couples together for one day, anyway. It has always been our wish that our two families could get to know each other.

On 14 November 1964, the War Department called and said that Grace’s husband (Donald Eugene Smith) had been killed and they thought her father should be with her when she heard the news. Estella came and got me at work. Grace was all broken up, of course. If I remember it right a bomb had exploded under the jeep Don and another soldier were riding in.

The family was informed and all of my children were here shortly. It happened that Ralph (Ralph Alcorn Rowley) had a vacation coming, but it was hard for Hugh (Hugh Alcorn Rowley) to make another trip to Utah. The funeral was held in the Bountiful 18th ward and Don was laid to rest in the cemetery there. All of Don’s family was there except his old grandmother. Everyone was so good to Grace and the children. She decided that she wanted to go to California and spend Christmas with Don’s folks. Hubert (Hubert Tidwell) left to spend the winter in Arizona and Estella and I went to Nampa because Bob and his family were there for the holidays.

In February 1965 we received word that Leonard Alcorn (Leonard Clark Alcorn) had died. Also Grant (Grant Alcorn Rowley) called and told us that he was going to be sent to Vietnam and we wanted to see him before he went, so we went to California in Grace’s car. Gay Alcorn (Wendall Gay Alcorn) went with us and did a lot of the driving. He was sure good company.

The funeral for Leonard was held in El Monte. Being there and seeing and visiting with all of them brought back so many memories. Hearing Opal (Opal M. Rowley) sing at the funeral was good, too. We went places with Grant and we visited Hugh and Gail and George and Geneal. Hugh took us out to Burbank where we visited and exchanged some genealogical information with my cousin (on my mother’s side), Frankie Liddell Hill (Frankie Edra Liddell). It was a nice trip.

Estella’s daughter, Virginia (Virginia Fern Johnson) had a baby boy in May of 1965. Then Stella went out to California again to be with Geneal when she had her second baby. It was a boy.

A TRIP TO NEVADA

I took my vacation on June 1964 and we started out on a long planned trip. We took two of my cousins who were both widows and sisters, Mable Clegg (Mable Ann May Stott) and Amy Allred (Amy Laura Stott). They knew the relatives and places we were going to visit. We set out across the Salt Flats and went as far as Ely, Nevada. There we visited with Marie Tilby and her family. They fixed supper for us and then took us out to see the Kennecot copper mine. It was quite a sight. The next day we went to Baker, Nevada and then across the line to Garrison, Utah. Here we visited some Rowley’s and a Paul cousin named Den Smith (Dennis Smith). He gave us some nice rocks for our rock garden. The next morning we explored the famous Lehman Caves which were nearby in Nevada. They were really wonderful. Amy who is 81 years old, had been in them when she was just a girl. It wasn’t developed then. They went down a ladder into a round hole and in some places they had to crawl on hands and knees to get from one room to another.

Next, many miles across the desert we found a little mining town called Pioche, Nevada. We were made so welcome; we were fed, sheltered and loved by my cousin Sadie Donehue (Sadie Butson). She is the daughter of May Paul Butson (Lavina May Paul). She told us that she thought her mother’s people had forgotten her.

Hubert (Hubert Tidwell) had been riding the brakes on our way to St. George, so I guess that is what caused our car trouble. At any rate when we were on the way up to Estella’s (Estella Cordelia Tidwell) cousin’s place. Hubert stalled the car. The place we were going was up against a red cliff. But after the car stalled I had everybody get out and I drove it on up. When I got to the top I had no brakes and couldn’t stop the car. Estella said she could hear herself screaming and praying because I was headed for the cliff where I could have gone over and rolled clear into the homes below. I was able to turn the car sharply into some brush and I high centered the car. I was sure praying all the time it was happening. We sure got on our knees and thanked our Heavenly Father for answering our prayers. The car had to be towed out and while it was fixed we stayed with our Paul/Rowley cousin, Verda Hotchkiss (Verda Day) and her husband Bill (Wendell Wade Hotchkiss). Estella and I went to the Temple.

On the way home we went through Zion’s National Park and Bryce’s Canyon. They were really beautiful. We spent the night in Orderville where we bought some nice rocks. We stopped at Cove Fort on our way back also and from there we went to Fillmore where we spend the night with my great, great Uncle Lorenzo Rowley. I felt that he was born way out of his generation. He was a character, between the car and the house he proposed to Mable and that night he just wouldn’t let us go to bed. He was talking to us about such things as when he had seen a flying saucer and had talked to the occupants.

The next day we were home. The five of us had no conflicts. We liked the same foods and we liked to do the same things and we returned with many happy memories. It was a trip I will never forget!

About the time school was out Grace (Grace Harriet Rowley) and Don (Donald Eugene Smith) and their family (Cheryl Jeanette, Donna Diane, Ronald Steven and Lillian Lorraine Smith) moved to Bountiful from Georgia. Don was being sent to Vietnam and he wanted his family close to Grace’s folks in Utah. Don rented a nice big apartment for them across from the 18th ward chapel. He had a talk with me before he left for this assignment. He seemed to feel more concern for his family as he was leaving, than he ever had on the many times when he had gone overseas before.
