    Notes:
    Cause of Death: Metastatic gallbladder cancer
    I was born in Logan, CacheCounty, Utah on April 27, 1874, daughter of William Kennedy Robinson and Harriet Vilate Pitkin. When I was nine months old my father was killed February 16,1875, while getting timber from Logan Canyon for the erection of the Logan Tabernacle. When five years old, Mother married a dear friend of Father's, Charles Burtis Robbins, who was a grand and good stepfather to me.
    Father (WilliamKennedy Robinson) came to Utah when nineteen years of age as a teamster for the Johnston's Army. The first winter he was in Utah, he heard the gospel preached by Apostle Ezra T. Benson and was later converted and baptized by him. He became a very devoted Latter-day Saint and was the only one of his father's family to join the Church. Mother had three daughters by William Kennedy Robinson:Marie Vilate, Sarah May, and myself, Mary. Mother also had one son and two daughters by Charles Burtis Robbins: namely, Hattie (Harriet Vilate), William Kennedy, and Emma Louise.
    I was reared in the fourth ward of Logan, across the street, east of the courthouse, and was active in the ward, until I was married and left to make our home in the sixth ward. I was organist in Primary, also inSunday school, and was a member of the Stake Tabernacle Choir. I had the privilege of attending the dedication of the Salt Lake Temple with the choir in April 1893. I attended the district schools, also the Brigham Young Academy, andthe Agricultural College, as it was then called, the first year of its existence. I had many happy days in my girlhood, attending horse races, canyon trips,balloon ascensions, skating rinks, theaters, circuses, dances, and Church activities.
    When I was nineteen years and eight months of age, I married a wonderful young man, Orin Austin Seager, in the Logan Temple. He was from American Fork, Utah and had come to Logan to go to school at the AC (Agricultural College).We met about three weeks after his arrival at his boarding house, the Crockethome. After our marriage we built a nice five room, cream colored, brick home, where we lived for nearly four years, then sold it and moved to Canada, September 1897. While in Canada, we went through some experiences that I will neverforget and hope none of our loved ones will ever have to undergo. We lived ona homestead in the summer, and in order to get to Cardston we had to ford St.Mary's River or drive twenty-five miles extra in a lumber wagon over the prairie to cross a bridge. We experienced some terrible snowstorms, hail storms, floods, and the worst lightning I have ever witnessed. While in Canada two sons were born, Orin Burtis, who died when three weeks old, and in one and a half years, William Kennedy, came to bless our home. We remained in Canada for seven years and left there with the same amount of money that we went there with, lessfive acres of good hay land situated in Logan that was willed to me from my father. Our home in Cardston was diagonal, southwest, from where the Latter-daySaints Temple stands.
    We left Canada July 1904, and went to LeGrand, Oregon, but after three months there, we came back to Logan for the winter. The 17th ofMarch 1905 we moved our meager belongings on a hayrack, powered by two horses,to Tremonton, then called Elwood. We lived in a two room, frame house with noplaster, just the outside lumber, which was lined inside with tarpaper with wallpaper over it. We had the three children, LaRue, Irene, and William Kennedy.We purchased thirty-six acres of good land at seventy-two dollars per acre, which was covered with sagebrush. We cleared ten acres and planted it in sugarbeets. We raised a good crop, which enabled us to meet our debts that fall.
    Orin and myself were soon called to work, he in Sunday school, and myself in Primary and assistant organist in the ward. After nearly five years, in December1906, Maudell blessed our home. In 1909, another
