B-55 HYRUM ANDREW BRADY FAMILY HISTORY
Hyrum was the third child of twelve children born to his parents in
their home in Union, Utah (7014 South 1300 East). He went to school in an
adobe, one-room school house, which stood in the Old Union Fort, (walls
torn down by then) but he finished the 8th grade in a new school house on
700 East 7200 So.
Union held dances every Saturday night for many years and pulled
crowds from all over the valley. Hy was a beautiful waltzer. He and his
sister, Vora, also his sweetheart, Hattie, took many a prize waltz. Hy had a
horse and buggy for their transportation.
Hattie and Hy were married in her parents' home, 4850 South 1300
East by Bishop Charles L. Milne. After a wedding reception at Hy's parents'
home, they loaded all their belongings in the buggy and left for Brigham
City where Hy was engineer on a switch engine for the Portland Cement
Company. They found a new little two-room house to live in and bought new
furniture. They were very happy.
In 1916, Hy's father needed him to help in their dairy business, so
they moved to 227 East 2700 South, near his brother, Mani and Naomi and
their family. Hy and Mani had delivery wagons and a string of horses, and
each had a milk route that covered all Salt Lake City.
In 1918, Hy moved his family back to Union, 7145 South 1300 East.
It was there they had the first tragedy in their married life. Geraldine, their
1 ½ year old baby drowned in the irrigation ditch by the house. Hy owned a
Model-T Ford and broke his wrist in twelve places cranking it. He had a stiff
wrist the rest of his life.
Hy got a contract to build the Piute Dam on the Sevier River. His
father and three brothers helped him build it. It was the largest earth-filled
dam at that time in Utah.
Hy and Hattie had three sets of twins, unique at that time. The
Deseret newspaper put in a picture and story of them all.
In 1926, Hy built a beautiful rock home for his family next to Little
Cottonwood Creek on 1300 East. But, after a few years, he found it more
than he could pay for. While living there, he bought ten acres of ground
about a mile up Milne Lane. He had a produce farm there and sold the
produce at the "Grower's Market" in Salt Lake. On this ten acres, he built a
"sand pit" on the hill and had two dump trucks and drivers to deliver sand.
This is the time that Hy became a contractor builder and he put in many
basements for homes in the valley. He did other contract work also. He put
in a portion of highway in Bingham Canyon, also State Street through
Murray from 4500 South. Through the depression years of the 30's, Hy
never got down-hearted. With the ingenuity he possessed, he seemed to
always find work. By now they had twelve children to raise and educate.
He worked long hard hours. Hy didn't ever say, "I can't afford it. " He'd say,
"We'll see. "
He did the concrete work on Stillman's bridge in Parley's Canyon
and also a bridge over the Weber River in Hennifer. In 1936, he started
building his family another home. First he built a basement, 6902 South
1300 East, where they lived with ten children until it was finished in
1941-another beautiful home. In May, 1936, his son, Peirce was called on
a mission to Argentina. Hy was ordained an Elder by his son, Peirce. Then
came the happiest, most wonderful day in their lives--the day after their
25th wedding anniversary, May 25, 1936. They went through the temple
and had all their children sealed to them. Peirce went on his mission.
Through the lean years Hy financed the mission and enjoyed along with
Peirce the missionary experiences.
Hy was a baseball fan. In 1941, he went with his brother Elmo and
Elaine to Washington, D. C. to see Peirce and Bernice. They stopped in
Chicago, the Chiminsky ball park, and saw the Yanks and White Sox playa
dream come true.
Hy became a charter member of the Union Lions Club in 1945. He
managed the first gun club at the trap shoots. The club started "Union
Fort Days" and had celebrations. With the proceeds, they bought ground
for Union Park. Hy was made chairman and he built a club house,
purchased lights and bleachers for the ball games. He managed their
basketball team and was on the committee to get the semaphore on 900
East 7200 South. He was also District Supervisor of the Union 1st Ward
building committee and a Ward Welfare Director.
Through the years, Hattie, his wife, taught Sunday School in various
capacities; was active in Relief Society, serving as president and first
counselor as well as a visiting teacher supervisor and visiting teacher. She
joined the D. U. P. and Lady Lions and worked in the temple.
In 1943 Hy's son, Ralph, enlisted in the Marines. He went overseas
in 1944. The second tragedy of their lives was when the 5th Marines hit
the beaches of Iwo Jima and Ralph was killed. Hy took it very hard and his
health began to fail. Hy worked hard all his life and taught his boys how to
work to provide for their families. At the same time, Hattie taught her girls
the art of homemaking.
To date, Hyrum has 42 grandchildren,* 14 great-grandchildren and
one of the grandchildren on a mission.

History Grand Father, Raynold Hendrickson Brady
B-89
HISTORY OF RAYNOLD HENDRICKSON BRADY
I was born in a four-room house, three rooms and a pantry, on Saturday,
April '' 0, 1901, at 13th East in Union. I weighed just over 13 pounds. My father's
name was Hyrum Hendrickson Brady and my mother was Della Alberta
Cunningham. I was the eight child born to them of 12; eight boys and four girls.
The oldest child, a girl, died when she was about one year old.
I started school in the old Union school house on 9th East and South
Union Avenue Street. Later a new school house was built on 7th East where I
then attended.
My father hauled ore down the Big Cottonwood Canyon in addition to his
truck gardening farm. We used to help care for the farm by weeding and hoeing
it. When the vegetables became big enough we used to thin them out and put
them in bunches; then we would peddle them to the people in Murray, Midvale
and Sandy.
When I was 14 or 15, my dad and brothers had a dairy business. We would
deliver the milk to the people in Salt Lake City by horse and buggy. I used to help
milk the cows and get the milk ready for delivery. Later, after we went out of the
dairy business, I occasionally helped Lawrence, my brother, haul zinc-ore from
the zinc mill to the railroad car on the north side of the mill and load it into the
cars. This is how I started working for this company. I was down on the tailings
that came from the U. S. tailing concentrator. In 1917, I went to work in the U.
S. Smelter in Midvale, Utah. During World War I, they were short of men, so I
worked on the trussel unloading the ore. I was only 17 years old then doing a
man's work and only getting paid $2. 80 a day.
In the spring of 1918, I went to work for Walter Steadman helping on his
farm. His son, Leonard, went on an LDS mission but had to return home due to
illness. After he returned, I left the farm. While I worked on the Steadman farm
I really came to know the Stead 's daughter, Ada. I dated Ada for two and one-half
years before w married. We were married by Heber J. Burgon December 15, 1920
in y father's house in Union.
After I was married, I went to work or U. S. Smelting and helped build the
Midvale Smelter. I also drove a truck for them. I worked there until 1935. In 1936
I worked at the Murray Smelter until it closed in 1950. I was next employed by
McGee and Hogan Machine Works and continued there until I retired in 1962.
During the years we had five children born to us; Del Eugene, 1921; Doris,
1924; and Blaine, 1926. When Blaine was one year old, he became very sick and
my wife went to the hospital for a serious operation. She laid there between life
and death for 43 days and then was sent home to die. The ward teachers came
and administered to them. That is when I could see the power of the
priesthood work. The Bishop came to me and said that if I would come
to church my wife and children would be blessed.
So, I started going to church again and we were blessed. In
October, 1929, Joyce was born to us. In February, 1932, I was
ordained an Elder and on the 29th of February 1932, we took our
family to the Salt Lake Temple, where we were married and had our
children sealed to us. In October, 1933, Arlene was born.
From then on I was active in the church. I held the office of first
counselor of the Elder's quorum of the Union 1st Ward. Then later I
was ordained to the office of president of the quorum. In 1947 I was
ordained a Seventy by Antoine R. Ivins. In the same year I was called
on a stake mission for two years. I worked in the Aaronic priesthood
and the scouting program for about ten years. I received a Silver "A"
award for service in the Aaronic Priesthood. I was ordained to the
office of a High Priest, then set apart as first assistant to the group
leader. Later I was made High Priest group leader. I have also served
in the MIA presidency and the Sunday School superintendency.
Ada Steadman, my wife, was the tenth child born to Walter and
Edith Eliza Simons Steadman. She was born January 15, 1899. She
has worked in church as a Primary teacher, and she also taught a
religion class. She worked for the Red Cross. During the years, she
has stood behind me and supported me in all my callings. She is
outstanding in her cooking and loves to share her recipes with all.
Our older son, Del served in the Southern States Mission in
1942. When he returned home he went into the army. Later he
married Donna Hall and they have 11 children.
Doris also served in the Southern States Mission in 1947, She
married Callis Kay Allen and they have 5 children,
Blaine served in the navy and has been married and divorced
twice. He has three children by his first marriage to Bonnie Allgier. His
second marriage was to Janine Peterson.
Joyce married Rueben Martin, who was later killed by falling
from a horse. She later married William Irvin Turnbow, a widower with
two children. Joyce had three children with Rueben and two with Bill.
Arlene married Floyd Ryther. He was in the air force and they
lived in all parts of the world and have five boys

Genealogy: A search for the Greatest Treasures-----Our Ancestors!
Two of my own personal experiences with Family History work, and posting it on Ancestry.com.
"The purpose of family history work is to obtain the names and data of our ancestors so that temple ordinances can be performed in their behalf."
(1)
Family History also provides chances for Missionary work, example: From a cousin Margaret Dean. I had never met Margaret, until she wrote me and requested information about her 4th Great Grant Father:
Richard Carlisle & Jane Field .
Margaret wrote in an e-mail : It takes my breath away when I consider the enormous undertaking of Richard and his companions to take ship to an unknown land to start a new life there - a case of casting their bread upon the waters and trusting in God, I imagine. Sad that Jenny didn't see the Promised Land (Utah). My husband and I have spent part of the afternoon huddled over an atlas, tracing the journey of Richard and his family. Salt Lake City is a very long way from Nettleham, England where Richard was christened. This is one of the joys of family history research; you learn so much social history and get to know about people from other countries and their way of life and there beliefs. Jenny is my 4 x great-aunt.
Thank you for your e-mail giving information about the Carlisles. It is difficult to access American records from over here in England, so much of our family history is lost to English people like me. I am fortunate with my Canadian cousins, as I was able to research their English roots for them and they have given me the Canadian side of the family.
I only wanted to know the name of my maternal grandmother whom I never knew and my mother seldom mentioned, and here I am about ten years later writing to you and with a large family tree that goes back in parts to the 1500s! I checked with my genealogy book, we are second or third cousins.
Thank you for your e-mail offering me more information about the Carlisle family, which I look forward to seeing with great interest. Jenny's brother, John, born 1781 in Willingham son of Matthew is my 4th great-grandfather. I received the conversion story of Richard Carlisle & Jane Field, I look forward to hearing from you.
I have been reading some of the interesting information you sent me about Richard Carlisle again, and wonder if you could explain something to me. When Richard proposed to Marie (his second wife) she said she would marry him but "wished to be sealed to her dead husband Thomas Dunsdon." Also "they went to the Endowment House and had their Endowments and their sealing done for their dead friends." What does this mean?
Another question: are members of your Church baptised when infants or as adults, and is this done be complete immersion? I hope you don't mind the questions, I am really interested and like to understand peoples faiths properly. Margaret is not a member of the Church, but has excepted excerpts from “Preach My Gospel”, and “13 Articles of Faith, and she will soon receive a Book of Mormon. I hope that one day Margaret will want to become a member of the Church. She asked me the other day to put her and her husband’s name on the pray rolls of the Temple, which she had heard about from reading.

Merle Brader, another person I met from posting family history on line. Merle wrote me late 2009 and wanted more information her Great Grandfather.
I feel fortunate to have come across a cousin on ancestry.com and would appreciate any family history you would like to share. Marion Hall is my Great, Grandfather, and I only have a photo of him. He passed away when I was just a small child. To think, before I contacted you, all I had was a very bad copy of the picture that is opposite the preface at the front of the book and I had very little history of the family. I can't express how happy I am that you shared this with me. Our family has very little about Marion and his own siblings and his parents, could you please send me any information about them? I received the “Edmond Estep Hall & Eliza Hurst History” book today and it is absolutely wonderful.
To think, before I contacted you, all I had was a very bad copy of the picture that is opposite the preface at the front of the book and I had very little history of the family. I can't express how happy I am that you shared this with me. Could you also let your California cousin know how much this means to me too. I have looked through all of the pictures in the book and read a few of the stories but I haven't had a chance to look at the pictures you sent on CD yet. I won't be able to put it down until I have seen everything.
I would like to bear my testimony about Family History and the joy and satisfaction it brings a person when you can find ancestors who haven’t had their Temple work done, or you can find information about their family, their work and their beliefs. I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the only true church on the face of the earth, and I know that the Prophet Joseph Smith was a true prophet, as well as our Prophet today, Pres. Thomas S. Monson. I am thankful for my ancestors and for their sacrifices and for traditions, and desire to serve the Lord. I am thankful for our Savior, Jesus Christ and for his atoning sacrifice. I pray that we might all find a joy and satisfaction in doing this great work of find our ancestors, and doing their work. I say this is the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Family Search Wiki,
The FamilySearch Research Wiki is a collaborative Web site where individuals can find answers to family history research questions and share personal knowledge with others. As individuals contribute their knowledge to the Wiki, it becomes more and more valuable as a research tool. In order to achieve its potential, the Wiki currently needs more information about local communities.
Each of you knows something about the local community in which you live. You know about the cemeteries, the schools, the newspapers, the libraries and archives, and some of the history about your community. Individuals who live in other areas are looking for the very information you have about your community. That information may enable them to find an ancestor, tie him or her into their family pedigree, and provide needed temple ordinances.
Please help us enhance the FamilySearch Research Wiki by completing one simple task. Use the attached job aid containing illustrated, step-by-step instructions to add information about the cemeteries in your local community to the Wiki. Please be sure to include the name and location of the cemetery and information about how to contact the cemetery for details about those uried there.
Thank you for your service. Your contribution will bless the lives of those searching for their ancestors who lived in your local community.
Sincerely,
FamilySearch
