From notes written by Margaret Linton LeMon about her mother:  " Elizabeth
Jenkins Linton was born October 25, 1867 in Nephi, Utah.  She was the eldest of
9 children.  They all lived in our Great Grandfathers house consisting of two
rooms.  Later our Grandfather built two more rooms and an upstairs.  She
married Samuel Linton Jr. on October 29, 1890 in the Manti Temple. To this
union were born 5 children.  Three girls and two boys.  Ida, Leonard, Rulon,
Margaret and Eva.  When Leonard was two years old, father was called on a two
year mission to the Louisiana Territory.  Mother took her two children and went
to live with her parents while father was away.  She took a job at the old
co-op store where she earned the money to support father while on his mission
and made a livelyhood for her and her two children.  While living on Dave
Cazier's farm, they used to drive to town in a horse and buggy and it was on
one occasion mother had been to visit her mother. dOn the way home, the horse
became frightened and ran away overturning the buggy throwing mother out
breaking her collar bone.  Being pregnant, this brought the baby sooner than
was expected, so Rulon was born at Grandmothers to the consternation of Aunt
Lettie Jenkins as she had the added work of mother and a new baby.  Mother was
always very active in the Church and held many positions.  When she resigned
from Primary all the children and officers and teachers presented her with a
beautiful platform rocker purchased with the money the children had saved.  We
all cherished this beautiful chair and it was in our big front room for many
years.  Later, mother was called to work in the Relief Society.  They made many
beautiful quilts to sell as well as other items.  It was during the 1st World
War they bought and stored wheat in big steal graineries.  This helped provide
food for many needy families.  During the flu epidemic in 1918, mother and
father and the Relief Society sisters went into the homes, took care of the
sick, laid out the dead and cooked nourishing meals for the families.  Many a
a pot of chicken soup was prepared at our home.  Mother later became Relief
Society President with Sarah Brown and Eliza Howarth serving as Counselors.
While performing this service, she became very ill and had to be released.  She
later was made counselor to Maude Forrest and Emma Brough.  When she was
released from these positions, she served as a visiting teacher until she
suffered several strokes which caused her death.  She died at the age of 70
years on December 30, 1937.  She died on Leonard's 43rd birthday. Mother was
a lovely person and loved having her children and grandchildren come to her
home.  Our home was always headquarters for the relatives and friends that
came to visit from Salt Lake, Ogden and Canada.  Mother never spoke ill of
anyone.  She used to say, " If you can't say something good about a person,
don't say anything." She was loved very much by all who knew her.

    My Mother loved her cousin Margaret, who wrote the above, very much.  In the
picture of the Linton family in the orchard in Nephi which we have hanging in
our family room with all of the other family pictures, Margaret is standing by
her father, Samuel Linton Jr.  My Mother, Helen Crawley Holden sits between
Ellen Sutton Linton, and Uncle John Linton with Heber his only son. Aunt Lyde
is behind her husband, John, and their daughters occupy most of the back row.
My grandfather, Tom Crawley, and my grandmother, Julia Linton Crawley are behind
Samuel Linton Sr. Aunt Elizabeth, who I think my mother called Lizzie or Effie
stands behind her husband, Samuel Linton Jr. Mother loved Elizabeth....RCH
