Agnes Hila Lyman (1857-1881)

Agnes Hila Lyman

AGNES HILA LYMAN, born 5 December 1857 in San Bernardino, San Bernardino Co., Calif.

She spent most of her childhood in Fillmore, attending grade school there. She apparently spent most of her life in Fillmore. It is unlikely that she was ever a member of the Latter Day Saints Church, as she was only 10 years old when her father lost his fellowship.

She was a Spiritualist, much to her husband's dismay and acted as a "medium" at times.

She was married 16 December 1877 in Fillmore, Millard County, Utah to GEORGE CHRISTIAN VEILE, son of Christian Jorgan and Pauline Jorgensen Veile. He was born 27 April 1841 on the Island of Fyen, in the Kingdom of Denmark. He died 16 July 1934, at San Diego, San Diego County, California. She died 29 March 1881, in Fillmore, Millard County, Utah.

She was very timid by nature, but did work some in the Ladies Aid Society. She especially loved music and loved to sing to children. Her greatest interest in life was her family.

Lelia Deseret Lyman (1852-1904)

Lelia Deseret Lyman

LELIA DESERET LYMAN was the sixth child of a family of eight children born to Amasa Mason Lyman and Maria Louisa Tanner. She was their first child to be born at their new home within the Mormon Fort at San Bernardino, California on the 21st of January, 1852. Lelia's mother had two more little girls born there, Love Josephine and Agnes Hila Lyman. On the 15th of April 1857, when Lelia was just five years of age she had to bid goodbye to her birth place, never to see it again. After forty-six days the family arrived, on 30 May 1857 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Here little Lelia lived with her mother and brothers and sisters while her father was on a mission to Europe. Salt Lake, though, was not to be her home for the rest of her life. Indeed she was still a young girl of eleven years when once again President B. Young called her father to settle in Fillmore, Millard County, Utah. He was to make a home there and see that his children received their education for life. My grandmother attended the Presbyterian School, but I believe she was also taught many valuable lessons by her parents for they were very desirous of having their children well educated.

When Lelia was nineteen she married Edwin Bartholomew, son of Noah Willis Bartholomew and Mary Altana Catlin Bartholomew, on Christmas day 1871 in Fillmore, Utah. (25 Dec. 1871) This marriage of thirty-three years was blessed with five children and twenty-four grandchildren.

Lelia was a very attractive matron of medium build and weighed about one hundred and fifty pounds. She had light brown eyes and hair. My mother always described her as a very dignified person who was extremely neat and well groomed at all times. From several I have learned that my father, Verne, and Uncle Mark, her other son, resembled their mother more than her three attractive daughters, Gay, Clare, and Lu. As a homemaker and mother she excelled. She took great pride in her lovely home, which stands as the first house on the west side as one enters the northern part of Fillmore. They had a large farm. In the house she taught her daughters and Verne and Mark worked on the farm. She loved her children very dearly and lived to see all but Mark marry. His marriage followed her death by several months.

Lelia died of pneumonia on 14 June 1904 and was buried at Fillmore, Millard County, Utah.
