Show Letty Jane Pace Tree Honored on Her 87th Birthday Sept. 20 The Tree family moved to Park City in 1922 where they operated Summit Dairy for several sev-eral years. The entire family worked together, milking, washing-up, and delivering milk to residents in Park City, winter win-ter and summer. In 1957 the Circle T Ranch was sold and they bought a home at 512 East 990 No., Bountiful where family andfriends are al ways welcome and offered food for the body and soul. Those who joined in the birthday birth-day festivities were, Mrs. Irene Carlson, Mr. and Mrs. Don Tree, Park City; Philinda and Eva Tree, Provo; Mr. and Mrs. Marion Tree, Heber; Mr. and Mrs. Delbert Tree and family, Hoytsville; and Mrs. Lilly Fredericks, Bountiful. Bv Mr?. Dun Tree "I would rather help ten people who didn't need it than to turn one away wiio did." That is the philosophy that Letty Jane Pice Tree believes and lives by. To know her is an enriching enrich-ing experience. Mother, grandmother, Aunt Jane, and friend to many, celebrated cele-brated her 87th birthday on Monday, Sept. 20, 1971 with all of her family there to share memories, good food and love. Mother Tree has raised eleven children and they have all been outstanding citizens in their communities. Teachers, Bishops and leaders in their field of work. They have all worked together to help each uther in their ambitions. Mother Tree told about living in a one room log cabin, (they built themselves), with newspaper news-paper pasted on the inside wall to keep out the cold. Their income in-come was $30.00 a month. One day when mother was hanging some clothes on the line outside, out-side, the twins Irene and Ira, still pretty young, decided they were hungry for some cookies, so they put their new shoes (bought the day before) in the coal stove oven. When mother came in they were dancing around in their bare feet joyfully joy-fully chanting "cookies, cookies." cook-ies." Too bad they couldn't eat them. Mother Tree has lived by faith and when she was called to serve the Lord she knew the way would be provided for her and her family to fulfil the calling. So with six small children she fulfilled ful-filled the assignment of Relief Society President for almost three years. By then there were seven children. They lived several miles from town and church and Motner rode on horseback to perforin her duties. She was so in tune with the Lord and the people in need that she was led to the side of a stranger, dying dy-ing of tuberculosis, who made some special requests for her burial before she could rest in peace. Of course they were carried car-ried out. Harvey, the horse she rode on her many rounds, died just one week before Mother Tree was released from her time and travel consuming job of Relief Society President. |
