Calvin Warby notes:
A BRIEF SKETCH Written by Rozina Nelson I have some very tender memories of grandpa and grandma Warby. Will and I used to visit them quite often, and Will would tell me often how much they had meant to him throughout his life. One day, while we were visiting with them, he turned to me and said, "I want you to put this verse on my tombstone." "When I am dead and in my grave And all my bones are rotten You will think of me When I am quite forgotten." He died soon after that, and I have often thought of the promise I gave him. The verse wasn't put on the marker we got, but I have been thinking of him and for many years we have been trying to gather their genealogy, and we shall continue to do all we can so that when I do see him again, as I hope, I'll be worthy to, he will feel that I did keep my promise. That I did think of him when he was "quite forgotten." In loving remembrance of all the pleasant hours we spent with them, I add these few lines to this history. A SHORT SKETCH OF RELATIVES - Written by Sarah Boren In receiving a letter from Francis M. Bailey, from Sydney, Australia, asking of the whereabouts of James Warby and Mary Warby. As this couple left Australia for America, in Brigham Young's day, and was never heard of after. This letter came to Sarah Boren in the year 1940. It was stated in the letter that Mary Blanch Warby was her great aunt. Rozina Nelson and Sarah Boren answered the letter, and time passed, and no answer to our letter. We later heard that after she wrote the letter she passed away. She was 90 old. Some of our grandmother Mary Blanch's family belonged to the Baptist Church. One of her brothers was a Baptist preacher. Some of grandfather's people belonged to St. Mary's. Francis M. Bailey approached the public minded men of Sydney, Australia, and proposed the formation of a genealogical society, in the city of Sydney, Australia. It was through her proposal that the "Society of Australia Genealogists" was created. She was very desirous that the work be carried on for the dead. Away out in Lucern Valley Out in the West Where our pioneers settled Their footsteps were blessed They plowed the ground deeply Their work was a task They built cabins neatly And planned for the best They worked and they toiled 'Twas mostly uphill But they got to the top By using their will. We revere the dear old Valley And the ones we loved best God bless their happy faces Until they're laid to rest, Back through the mist of time We hear the school bells ring The fields, the pastures, the scent of new mown hay, T'was there we loved to wander, When our hearts were young and gay. Written by Sarah W. Boren.
