Biography
Moneta
Johnson
Fillerup
was
born
29
January
1882
in
Kanab
,
Kane
,
Utah
, to
William
Derby
and
Charlesetta
Prescott
(Cram)
Johnson
,
who
were
members
of the
Church
of
Jesus
Christ
of
Latter-day
Saints
. In
1885
her
family
was
called
by the
LDS
Church
to
settle
in
Colonia
Diaz
,
Mexico
. There her
father
was
sustained
as
first
bishop
.
Moneta
had
various
callings
in the
Church
while
growing
up
. She
learned
to
play
the
organ
when
she was
ten
years
old
and had the
calling
as
organist
for
many
years
.
Charles
Richard
Fillerup
received
a
mission
call
to
serve
as
principal
of
Colonia
Diaz
Academy
, the
local
school
, in
1896
. There he
taught
Moneta
and
soon
thereafter
began
courting
her. They
married
on
1
June
1898
in the
Salt
Lake
Temple
.
After
the
new
couple
married
they
went
on a
two-month
honeymoon
to
Oregon
and
California
; her
father
went
with them.
Over
a
ten
year
period
, the
Fillerups
had
several
children
while
Charles
continued
teaching
at the
Academy
. In
1910
the
Mexican
Revolution
began
,
which
started
to
cause
problems
for the
Saints
in
Mexico
.
Things
got
so
bad
that the
people
in the
colony
had
five
hours
to
pack
all
their
belongings
and then
traveled
all
day
to
cross
the
border
into the
United
States
by
night
fall
. They
successfully
crossed
the
border
but were
sad
when
they
found
out
in
1912
that
Colonia
Diaz
was
entirely
destroyed
;
many
thought
they would be
returning
.
Moneta
, her
husband
, and
children
settled
in
Arizona
; there they had
more
children
,
making
a
total
of
thirteen
.
Charles
became
the
County
Agricultural
Agent
for
Apache
and
Navajo
Counties
in
Arizona
, a
job
he had
until
his
death
in
1936
.
Charles
died
unexpectedly
of a
cerebral
hemorrhage
,
which
devastated
Moneta
.
Moneta
moved
several
times
after
her
husband's
death
,
staying
mostly
in
different
areas
of
Arizona
. Her
family
continued
to
expand
as
each
of her
children
married
and had
children
. Her
children
and
grandchildren
kept
her
going
and she
frequently
visited
them.
Abstract
This
manuscript
is
fifty
pages
long
,
copied
from the
original
. There are
three
pages
of
copied
photos
,
which
appear
faint
. She
includes
a
lengthy
list
of her
descendants
and also
talks
briefly
about
her
ancestors
,
including
a
pedigree
chart
. She
mentions
the
closeness
of her
family
and their
move
to
settle
in
Mexico
.
Throughout
her
autobiography
she
repeatedly
implies
the
important
role
the
LDS
Church
played
in her
life
and in the
life
of her
family
. She
always
spent
time
with
family
(immediate
and
extended)
and
emphasizes
through
the
entire
manuscript
when
the
family
would
celebrate
birthdays
and
holidays
with
large
family
parties
,
particularly
when
they
lived
in
Mexico
. At the
beginning
of the
manuscript
Moneta
begins
by
calling
her
husband
Papa
. This
is
confusing
at
first
because
one
may
think
she
is
referring
to her
father
.
Moneta
writes
much
about
her
early
years
living
with her
family
and the
first
years
of her
marriage
,
giving
many
details
,
particularly
about
family
gatherings
. She
lists
when
and
who
her
children
marry
and
notes
the
birth
of
each
of her
grandchildren
. At the
end
of the
autobiography
, she
tells
various
faith
promoting
stories
that she
wants
her
descendants
to be
aware
of and
gives
her
testimony
for
posterity
as
well
.
