She writes, "I graduated from the Normal Department of Brigham Young Academy when I was 18 years old. I taught school for two years at the Central School in Spanish Fork and two years at Santaquin prior to my marriage." She boasted that her Scottish pioneer mother's fondest desires were fulfilled: "Seven of my mother's children attended the Brigham Young Academy at Provo, Utah. Five daughters graduated from the Normal Department and taught school prior to their marriage. One daughter graduated from the Commercial Department as a stenographer and two did clerical work." Daughters mentioned: Estella Ann Lewis, b 1880, Jeannette Lews, b 1882, Cora Ethel Lewis, b 1886, Mary Alpha Lewis, b 1889, Sarah Myrle Lewis, b 1890, Hazel Laree Lewis, b 1894, Reva Lewis, b 1896, Agnes Priscilla Lewis, b 1878 Source: Melinda Van Komen @Jun 2015 ~ ~ ~ ~ HER HUSBAND'S FAMILY HISTORY: Walter James Wilde. The following is an article that appeared in the Ninth Ward News, the ward newsletter in Spanish Fork, Utah. It appeared in January, 1962 when Walter was 87 years old. He died 28 July 1963. “Walter J. Wilde, one of the faithful High Priests of the Ninth Ward, was born in American Fork, Utah the 21st day of March in 1975. When you talk to Brother Wilde he always reminds you that he has been here in this sphere of action with all of the Presidents of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints except the Prophet Joseph Smith. Walter’s parents, Joseph and Mary Shuttleworth Wilde, were early immigrants to this country from England. Walter received his education in the American Fork schools, after which he spent some time working in the milk skimming plant at Lake Shore, Utah, then when the milk skimming plant was built in Payson, Utah, Walter was hired as its manager. The cream from these two plants was hauled to Spanish Fork Creamery for precessing. In 1901 Walter was called to fill a mission in England, the home of his ancestors. Walter said he was cautioned not to visit the town where his father’s folks lived until he had been in the mission field at least six months. When he did visit the Wilde family after he had been in England for more than six months, he found out why he was cautioned to delay his visit. He said that he went to visit them for Christmas and found that three of the brothers in the family were ministers and each of them represented a different faith. They started to ask him questions but before long the three ministers were quarreling among themselves and Walter didn’t have a chance to explain Mormonism.

[In a letter to his daughter Vivian, dated 28 October 1953, Walter described this visit as follows: "Mrs. Shuttleworth was a widow with three daughters - Mary, Ann, and Sarah. Your grandmother was Mary. All were baptized by John Henry Smith. Mary married Joseph Wilde, Ann married William Hudson, and Sarah married Alfred Barnes. Sarah and her husband traveled to America first, settling in Boston. Alfred worked in a cotton mill and encouraged your grandfather (Joseph Wilde) to come for work. He did that and saved enough money to send for your grandmother and her mother. (Mary's mother was Miriam Reese Shuttleworth. She was 88 years old when she crossed the plains and lived only six months after arriving in Salt Lake City. She is buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery.) The Hudsons remained in England and I visited them when I was there on my mission. Aunt Ann had not remained active in the Church and three of her daughters had married ministers, each of a different sect and did I meet them, oh my. It was touch and go after supper - about seven o'clock until quarter past four in the morning. But Dot, this is how the Lord works. At this gathering was Aunt Ann's son, Will Hudson. He sat like one spellbound but asked no questions. But for the next six days that I stayed he was after information all the time. He was not baptized before I left England but Henry Bytheway, who followed me into that field, told me when he came back that Will had been baptized."]
Walter returned from his mission in 1903 and has been an active worker in the Church ever since. He taught the advanced youth class in Sunday School for seventeen years. He was president of the YMMIA and was Sunday School chorister. He was a counselor to Bishop Fred Lewis and Superintendent of the Sunday School and on the Sunday School Stake Board of Palmyra Stake. Soon after Walter returned from his mission he went to work for the Chipman Mercantile Company in American Fork. After working there for seven or eight years he was offered a position at the Barton and Blake Store in Provo. While working for this firm in Provo he used to visit with his best friend and missionary companion, Lorenzo "Ren" Durrant, who was bookkeeper at the Spanish Fork Creamery. Ren and Walter got interested in the Lewis sisters and it wasn’t very long until they were brothers-in-law, Walter having married Jeannette "Nettie" Lewis in the Salt Lake Temple, and Ren having married her sister, Agnes Lewis.
[Rem and Agnes were married in 1901, before the mission, and an entry in Walter’s mission journal indicates Agnes joined Rem in England in 1903, shortly before his mission release.]
Walter and Jeannette are the parents of four children - two boys and two girls. Lewis, their oldest, married Dorothy Crane. They and their seven children live in Salt Lake City. Vivian, the second oldest, married Gordon Knell. They have two children and live in Newcastle, Utah. Keith, the third member of the family, married Mary Farnsworth. They live in Spokane, Washington with their three children. Carole, the youngest of the family married Gordon F. Harrison. They live in Elsinore, California with their two daughters. Walter is a lover of the out-of-doors. The sport he loves best is fishing. He said if he got started telling about some of his fishing trips there wouldn’t be room for anything else in this ward paper. There is one trip that Walter won’t ever forget. It was a trip in Springville Canyon and over into Hall’s Fork. The group on this trip practically carried the two-horse rig over the hog back (ridge) but they all claim they had a lot of fun. Shortly after Walter and Jeanette were married, Walter decided that there should be a furniture store in Spanish Fork so he rented the building formerly occupied by the Creer & Nielsen Implement Store on the corner of Main and Second Fork and started the Excel Furniture Company. This business was very prosperous so, after renting a home in the Third Ward from Bishop Marinus Larsen for a couple of years, he was able to buy the home in which they have lived ever since - on the corner of First South and First West, one block from the church. Walter operated his furniture store from 1911 until 1926 when he had to sell out because of the Great Depression. Both Walter and Jeanette were lovers of music. They both sang in the Second Ward choir for many years. While running the Excel Furniture Store, Walter used to delight in demonstrating the phonographs that he had in stock for sale. One day he demonstrated a phonograph with a new-fangled device on it to make it so that the operator could make the music go soft or loud as he chose. Of course, the one operating the machine had to be on hand anyway to keep the machine wound up because it ran from a spring! Walter says he remembers very well going with his father from American Fork to Salt Lake City to haul the tithing that was paid in-kind. Walter was also an inventor. He invented the first turn signal for automobiles. It was a mechanical device operated from the dash which made an arrow point in the direction the driver was going. Walter had one installed on his car but the car companies a few years later adopted the turn signals we have now.” @Jan1962
