Her brother and sisters attended the school taught by their mother's first cousin, Eliza R. Snow, for whom Eliza was named. In January, 1846, Eliza's mother gave birth to twin daughters who died just after birth, her mother followed the twins in death, passing away on January 27, 1846; this was just before the Saints were driven out of Nauvoo. Little Eliza was only four years old. Their lives in Nauvoo had been difficult as their father was away on missions much of the time. Her father, Lucius, remarried a young widow. With his daughters, his wife, and three of her children, he started West with the Saints. They did not get far when Brigham Young called him on a mission to England. Eliza went with the remaining family to Garden Grove where her father returned after his mission. Again her father was assigned to serve at New Orleans, Louisiana, as an Immigration Agent. He took his wife, but left the children with an older sister at Winter Quarters. By June 1850, the family was together again and on their way West. Eliza, eight years old, walked barefoot most of the way. She suffered with her feet in later years. When Eliza was sixteen, she planned to marry her childhood sweetheart, George Washington Haws. However her father made other plans when he and Duncan McAuthur decided to exchange daughters as polygamist wives. Eliza became the second wife of Duncan he was sixty-one years of age. After his death she married his son, Washington Perry McArthur, as his second wife. They had six children and also took two Indian children. After the death of Washington, Eliza struggled to care for her large family. Fourteen years later, when most of the children were married, George W. Haws lost his first wife. Eliza and George W. Haws were united in marriage. On April 19, 1892, her sealing to Duncan McArthur was cancelled by permission of Wilford Woodruff. On the same day she was sealed to George W. Haws. In 1893, they moved to Teton, Fremont County, Idaho. Eliza Rebecca was dearly loved by all for her amiable and cheerful disposition. She lived the life of a true Latter-day Saint, being ever ready to help others in time of need. She died of cancer and is buried by the side of the man of her choice.

Mt. Pleasant Royalty 2016

Peter and I attended the Miss Mt. Pleasant Contest on Friday Night.  Our Granddaughter, Mariah was one of the contestants.  It was a lovely program.  The band was a little loud for our generation, but fit the times of the contestants.  Our granddaughter took the first attendant slot.  We are so very proud of her.  Queen is Julianna Armstrong, and Callie Goble  is second attendant.  

Congratulations to them all.

Sabrina Johansen was the outgoing Queen and was lovely in all her presentations.

The video that was played showed the outgoing royalty visiting the Blacksmith Shop.

Freedom and Patriotism

I believe our flag is more than just cloth and ink. It is a universally recognized symbol that stands for liberty, and freedom. It is the history of our nation, and it's marked by the blood of those who died defending it.

$500.00 Recipe

Waldorf Astoria Dining Room  Courtesy of Wikipedia 

I found this recipe  in our file yesterday.  I had forgotten the story behind

 "WALDORF ASTORIA DRESSING.

A good friend of Peter's Aunt Phyllis, was able to dine at the Waldorf Astoria.  She was so astounded by the salad dressing served that she asked for the recipe.  The Waiter smiled and said "I will be happy to get it for you."  When she received the bill for their dinner, there was an addition of 500.00 for the recipe.

Apparently, she could not give the recipe back as she had already read it, unaware that she would also be charged for it.  So she took it home and decided that if she had paid $500.00 for the recipe, she was going to share it with everyone she knew.  

And so,  I am going to share our version with you.  Only a minor change has been made for copyright purposes

Remembrance Day(also known as Poppy Day) is a memorial day observed inCommonwealth of Nations member states since the end of theFirst World War to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty. The day, specifically designated by King George V on 7 November 1919,^[1] or alternative dates, is also recognised as special days for war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth countries. Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November to recall the end of hostilities of World War I on that date in 1918. Hostilities formally ended "at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month", in accordance with the armistice signed by representatives of Germany and the Entente between 5:12 and 5:20 that morning. ("At the 11th hour" refers to the passing of the 11th hour, or 11:00 am.) The First World War officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on 28 June 1919.^[2]

The memorial evolved out of Armistice Day, which continues to be marked on the same date. The initial Armistice Day was observed atBuckingham Palace, commencing with King George V hosting a "Banquet in Honour of the President of the French Republic"^[3]during the evening hours of 10 November 1919. The first official Armistice Day was subsequently held on the grounds of Buckingham Palace the following morning.

The red remembrance poppy has become a familiar emblem of Remembrance Day due to the poem In Flanders Fields. These poppies bloomed across some of the worst battlefields of Flandersin World War I; their brilliant red colour became a symbol for the blood spilled in the war.

Dawnell Hatton Griffin is finishing a book on the Allred family which is intended to be the definitive book on the Allred family and is based on Dawnell’s more than 40 years of research. It traces our ancestors from their earliest recorded events in England in the early 1500s to Solomon Allred’s immigration to Pennsylvania in the early 1700s. It follows the family from Pennsylvania, to Maryland and Virginia and eventually to the settlement of three of Solomon’s sons and and his grandson in North Carolina in the 1750s. The book corrects much of the mis-information that is found in current genealogy on our family. It identifies new and previously unknown relationships. It traces all of the known families into the early 1800s. The book is intended to spur further research on the family and is heavily documented with sources that will enable researchers to continue research on the family. The book will be a hard cover book printed on acid free paper. Dawnell hopes to have the book ready for purchase for Christmas. If you wish to sign up to purchase the book when it is available, please send an email to Keith Allred at keithallred@outlook.com and he will put you on the list of possible purchasers. He will notify those on this list when the book is available for purchase and give pricing and other details so that those who wish a copy can place an order.
