Carl and Mollie were married Sept. 24, 1926, in Coalville. It was Carl who brought her to Marion. She said that when she came to Marion, she felt all alone with no family but everyone was so friendly that they became her family. Carl and Mollie lived in a two room home for seven years and Mollie helped on the farm. Then they moved into one room in the house she now lives in. She said that she has lived in this house for friend, Donna Ottoson, and wished for dinner, and then visited the home of her at they daughter, Lilly Maughan. Coming home, they had a flat and had to come in on a wing and a prayer. Chuck-a-Ram- 5A verts to the LDS Church and wanted to come to Utah. On the voyage, Mollie being a three year old, was running up and down the deck of the ship with her sister, Mary, closely keeping an eye on her. Mollie decided to throw a spoon overboard and was determined to go after it. It was fortunate fra Mollie that she had an older sister who was able to contain her! At last the family was in America and was happy to board a train for Salt Lake City. When Mollie was eight, her mother died from child birth leaving Mollie and Mary in charge of the family. Her father worked at Fort Douglas and. he would take the younger children with him to work. They would play while he worked. Mollie was so happy to be in America, she was determined to speak English instead of German. Through hard work and determination, she was able to team English. . When she was in third grade, she went to a friend's home whose mother was cutting the crust off fresh baked bread. Her friend's mother asked the girls if they would like a piece of bread and they both answered yes. Mollie asked if she could have the crust. The mother gave Mollie all the crusts and Mollie headed for home - very happy. She stopped to talk to a woman separating milk. She had never seen this done so she stayed and asked questions until the woman was done. The nice woman gave her a gallon of skim milk. Mollie said her father, two brothers and her all sat and ate all the crusts and the gallon of milk until it was gone. (Bread and milk, sound familiar?) Her sister Mary had gone to live with another family by this time. Mollie's father returned to New York to get remarried and then he was going to return to Germany. Mollie and her brothers did not want to go with their father to Germany. Mollie asked if she found a job and a place to live could she stay in Salt Lake, her father agreed. Mollie said that she felt the Lord guided her to the family that took in. She helped with the chores and tended die children. She wanted to keep her two brothers and take care of them but she was only thirteen herself and she knew she couldn't manage it Her brothers ended up with other families. Now their whole family was separated and Mollie was on her own. Mollie stayed with this family until she was about seventeen. Then she went and lived on a chicken ranch fra a year or so until she decided that there must be something better in the world fra tier. Then shr w-u-t 1' All Offers Good At ALL STORES!
