A SHORT SKETCH OF THE LIVES OF GEORGE MORBY AND CAROLYN TWITCHELL By Effie Berniece Warby They were married August 5, 1895, at North Creek, Beaver County, Utah, where they lived until just before the birth of their first child, when they moved to Beaver City, and rented a house. I was born April 5, 1896. They stayed there until I was three months old, and then moved to Manila (then Uintah County). We lived in a log house up by the hill, on the north side the valley. On November 2, 1896, the second child, George Manford Morby was born at Manila, Utah. The first child born in Lucern Valley. He was not quite so strong as I. On March 30, 1899 another son, William Medward, was born at Manila, Utah. When he was nearing six months old George became ill. Father and mother were worried of course, took and took him to the Birch Springs Ranch, where Uncle Sam Warby and family resided. Aunt Mary Hannah, being a good nurse, helped him. He grew steadily worse and they knew he would not live, so we down to Manila to be with grandfather and grandmother. He passed away that day, and as he was the first to die in the valley, they had to find a place suitable for a cemetery. Grandfather started out and finally decided on the place where the cemetery now is. George Manford was in the cemetery two years before anyone else joined him, and then Aunt Rye passed away, and since then many have joined him. During the summer of 1900, we went back to Beaver City, and on October 11, 1900, Marion was born while there. We stayed in Beaver for some time, and then returned to Manila. Geneva was born there May 18, 1905, and Hilda was born October 21, 1907. Father had many good places, but seemed to like a change and so would buy, sell, or trade. He was always free with every thing, and loved to have company. Many times I remember folks coming to our home for the evening and no matter how late, he would always ask mother to bake a cake, which she always did. One time, George Finch, from Henry's Fork, about ten miles from Manila, gave a milk cow to grandfather and dad, and some of his brothers. They went to bring her up to the place and she went loco from the long drive and the heat. They had quite a time getting her into the corral with high fences. She gored some of the horses with her horns, and tried to climb the stable after the men, so, of course, they had to shoot her. During the summer of (?) Dad and Mother decided to move to Vernal. They went to Whiterocks and leased a farm for a year or so, then returned to Vernal where they made their home. Dad's health became very poor, and on October 8, 1925, he passed away. He was buried on Rock Point Cemetery. Mother had their sealing done in the Salt Lake Temple March 21, 1934, after which she did a great deal of temple work, often going on three sessions in one day. She did this until her health became such that she had to leave Salt Lake and go back to Vernal, where she passed away June 23, 1945. She was also buried in Rock Point Cemetery by dad.
