''-'•';.•.' :,-•'-: ESCALANTE NEWS - ~ - ..My Chris Haycock, 435-826-4832, plateofdreams@scinternet.net Traveling from Price to Escalante by way of Pine Creek Road, Christmas Eve, 1939, Asenith Roundy Alvey and Philo (Phil) Freeland Alvey were on their way to spend Christmas with Asenith's parents. Reese and Rosie Roundy. Their truck stalled near Roundy Reservoir, and they were unable to start the engine. They attempted to walk through the falling, blowing, and drifting snow to the Civilian Conservation Corps camp, located a mile south of Posey Lake where they expected to find shelter and a telephone to call for help. When Asenith was unable to walk any farther, Phil cut open a pillow and place her feet inside it, positioned her and their baby daughter Phyllis near some rocks to shelter them as best he could. He than set out for the CCC camp. When he reached the camp he found the telephone had been removed. By midday Christmas, Phil exhausted and feet frozen reached Escalante, 14 miles from the CCC camp. He alerted the family that Asenith and Phyllis were still on the mountain. A rescue party was dispatched but when they found Asenith, she was dead. Her infant child snuggled.warmly under her body. A mother had sacrificed her own life for the life of her baby daughter. There is nothing greater that a Mother's Love. Asenith was 17 years of age. A Dedication for this unselfish act of love took place on August 26, 2006. Daughter of Asenith, Phyllis Alvey Mclnelly, knows of a Mother's Love and she has been able to show a Daughters Love in return. A Monument has been place on the Pine Creek Road, North of Posey Lake. It has taken four long years for this event to finally take place. The Family gives a special Thank you to all that was involved in the process. The Monument was sponsored by The Sons of Utah Pioneers, Hole in the Rock Chapter. 65 Family members and friends were present for this Dedication. The Monument is placed on a site North of Posey Lake, along Pine Creek Road. A small ceremony was held with Phyllis Alvey Mclnelly, Phyllis's brother and Aunt Marian spoke. There were about 65 people in attendance. The day was just beautiful. It was as if Asenith was smiling down on her daughter Phyllis and saying Thank you, I love you too.
