Excerpts from the Life of Floris Cobbley
I, Floris Cobbley Gold, was born 18 January 1919 to Marion Reeves Cobbley and Venice Adamson in Salt Lake
City across the street from West High School. My mother that afternoon had sung in a quartet at a funeral.
She said that she was only 7 months pregnant and being a tall woman, she didn't show. She had a cousin
living with them at the time. She called the doctor and he send another. I might add here this was the the
time of a large flu epidemic. The doctor who came asked where the patient was. Mother told him she was the
patient. He became quite upset and said that he had no time for games as he had many very sick patients.
Mother's cousin, Gertrude Bullock, assured the doctor that they were not playing games. After examining
mother, the doctor said he was sorry, but she didn't look pregnant. I was born at 7:00p.m. that evening. I was
a "preemie" and weighed 5 pounds. Mother was 5ft. lOin. and said she was barely showing.
I was born in Salt Lake City Utah. The rest ofthe children were born in Pleasant Grove Utah. I also had
another sister seven years younger than me, named Elma Marion. The night she was born our house burned
down so she was born at my grandparent's home in Pleasant Grove as were the twins.
When I was between two or three months old I had pneumonia and was given a priesthood blessing. Then a
copper boiler was put on the stove and after the water was boiling, my parents put a wicker clothes basket
inside the boiler with a wool blanket and put me inside the basket and used it like a sweatbox like the Indians
used. I was told that when they took me out, they scrapped a cup of pus off of my body.
One day when I was about 6 months old, mother let a young girl push us around in the buggy. She tried to
handle two of us at onece and dropped me bruising my fight hip badly. The hip later developed T.B. of the
bone and had to haave a rare operation for that time. The doctors begged my parents to let them take the
leg off as they were sure it would cost me my life, but the folks insisted that the doctors just operate and not
take the leg off. I had a priesthood blessing. At that time there was also a medical convention in town. A
young doctor bt the name of Dr. Tyree from the Mayo Brothers Clinic was there. Thanks to him, he showed
my doctors a new method that the clinic had developed and it was known as a silver plate. That lasted for
close to sixty years.
it was while I was in the hospital that Mother tells of one of the 3 Nephites came to my grandfather
Adamson's and told him how to make a drink out of herbs. Grandfathe Adamson waited until everyone had
left the room and pured me a bottle full. It was very bitter but Mother says I drank it right up until a nurse
came in and took it away from me. The next morning I was a lot better so one ofthe family kept giving it to
me without permission until I got back to eating. Grandfather was told he could treat other people with this
medicine but could never sell it or charge for making it. It was to help purify the bloodstream. My father said
