Ruby Armenta Madsen Ivory

  

Ruby Armenta Madsen Ivory

  Ruby Madsen Ivory was born May 17, 1892, at Mt. Pleasant, Utah. While she was still a child, her family moved from town to settling on a farm. Here Ruby worked in the fields and became known as a champion beet thinner. Upon entering school, she proved to be an excellent student and a well-known poetry enthusiast. Ruby was one of twelve students in the first class to be graduated from the North Sanpete High School. After her graduation, she attended summer school at the University of Utah and obtained a teaching certificate. In the fall of 1912, she began her teaching career in the public schools at Fountain Green, Utah. Besides teaching her classes, she enjoyed sleigh-riding parties, dances, and horse-and-buggy rides to Mt. Pleasant. From 1913 to 1917 Ruby taught in the elementary grades at Mt. Pleasant under the supervision of a former principal, P. M. Nielson. During the summer of 1917, Ruby left for Chicago to fulfill an L.D.S. mission. Upon her return home, she married to L. Royal Ivory in the Manti Temple on January 22, 1919. Ruby continued teaching in Fountain Green until the birth of her first daughter. When her two girls were grown and there was a demand for more teachers, she went back to the classroom. After the death of her husband in 1945, she moved to Salt Lake City to make her home and to continue teaching. While teaching school, Ruby was also active in church and community organizations. She was president of the Sanpete-Sevier District Federation of Women's Clubs, first president of the State Ladies' Woolgrowers Association, president of the Home Economics Club, and a member of the Sanpete Country Welfare and Emergency Committee. She was also stake president of the Primary Association for fifteen years, a Junior Seminary teacher, and a class leader for the Relief Society. When she died on July 2, 1958, her family consisted of two daughters-Lois and Hanna-and eight grandchildren.

Andrew Madsen's Journal ~ Indian Trouble ~ 1866






In the Spring of 1866, another call was made by the Church for men to go to the east for Emigrants and this year Hans Brotherson, Charley Hampshire, George Tuft, Christian Peterson (Peel), Neils Jensen, Hans Scholf, Frederick Peterson, Neils Lund and August Manier, with Laman Pete as Night Guard.  They were fitted out by us and at once went to Salt Lake City and






They managed to keep at a safe distance from the troops and enjoyed the
fruit of their many exploits during the winter months and made their
calculations for the Spring.

July 15th, 1866 my wife gave birth to a girl. We gave her the name of Emma.
She, however, only lived a few hours and died the same day and was buried
in our City Cemetery.

"THE SOLDIER"


Lee R. Christensen's  Photos and Stories From Mt. Pleasant


Kathy:  Inspired by Rupert Brooke’s poem “The Soldier” and paraphrasing a line from it I’ve crafted this tribute.

     They never came Home but there is a spot in a Foreign Land that is forever North Sanpete.

The Soldier
If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.


And think, this heart, all evil shed away,

A pulse in the eternal mind, no less

Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;

Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.
