BRIEF SKETCH OF JOSEPH, JAMES HENRY, & STEPHEN WARBY By Harvey Nelson Joseph helped his parents on the farm and helped burn lime at a lime kiln that his father owned and operated. He did work such as he could get. There was adobe, brick and rock houses made in that city. He worked for low sums, for wages were very low. Lots of work was done for store pay. He was married when he was 25 years old to Alice Rebecca Wildere. She was 19 years old. They were married about two years and had two children. She died at the birth of the second one. He never married again. He was so devoted to her that he thought he could never find another one that could take her place. He spent the remainder of his days with his parents, as long as they lived. His father died first. He helped take care of his mother, cooked and stayed with her until she passed away. His kindness and love will never be forgotten by those who knew him. He was a good cook, and enjoyed caring for his wonderful mother. At the time of his death he was working for an old couple by the name of Henry and Maggie Fosdick, on a place that was called the "Phil Mass Horse Ranch," That was Maggie's father's name. He worked there for some time. He was liked very much by them. One day he got sick, and he came in the house and told Maggie that he was sick and was going to die, him and her was there alone. Henry was in Green River City at the time. As the day went on he got very sick, She tried to get someone on the phone, but it was in vain, until evening. During that time he passed away. She was very worried. Her nearest neighbor was five miles away. Finally she got someone on the phone and they got his brother, Stephen. He rushed up there and helped take care of him, He died on December 27, 1926, making him 62 years, eleven months old. He left a host of friends and relatives. His memory will never be forgotten. He was buried in the Manila cemetery, James Henry Warby spent his early days on the farm, helping his parents at the lime kiln and other things that he could get to do. The family, as they journeyed through life, got along very well together. He had very fine parents, full of faith and works, they left Beaver the year 1896, and moved to the place that was called Lucern Valley. A little town was started there which was called Manila. It was in the western part of the state of Utah. They homesteaded there and made homes. He helped pioneer that place. He was faithful in helping to take care of his parents. He was a lover of horses. One time he bought a fine colt. One night as he was watering him it got scared and took off, jerked him over, and drug him for over a quarter of a mile on his belly before he got him stopped. Then finally he got him back to the corral. He lived to be quite old before he got married a large woman by the name of Josie in Manila. She was from the east. They lived at Manila for a time. Then they went to Missouri. He worked at a packing plant for some time, then returned to Manila. While they were back east they adopted a little girl. At his last declining days he lost his speech so he couldn't say much. He died at Manila, November 1942. He was past 76 years old, and was buried in Manila Cemetery. He will long be remembered by a host of friends and relatives. Stephen Warby helped his parents on the farm, and other work that he could get. He left Beaver and came to Manila. His parents sold what they had for cattle wagons and horses. He helped drive the cattle. It was quite a trip, over four hundred miles. It took over a month to make the trip. They left Beaver on July 2, and landed in the valley August 16. It was a long hot drive. There was a hustle to prepare houses for the winter, and to file on the land. All were willing and the job was done in a short time. He didn't get married until after his parents died. He was very good to his parents. His father died first, and he helped take care of his very kind and gracious mother. He married a while after his mother died, to Hannah Deck. They lived in that vicinity the remainder of his life. He was good to his wife and children. When he passed beyond he left hosts of friends and relatives that will remember him forever. The memory of good people can never be forgotten. He died at the age of 62 years, 4 months, July 6th. May the kind memories of our dear ones always be remembered.
