Papers

Included
in the
collection
are
two
letters
from
Juanita
dated
March
15
,
1970
and
January
12
,
1974
containing
information
about
her
courtship
and
marriage
to
Leonard
Ernest
Pulsipher
as
well
as his
death
.
Juanita
and
Ernest
were
engaged
in
May
1919
, but
because
of his
continuing
illness
, he was
concerned
about
going
through
with the
wedding
. They
both
prayed
for
guidance
in this
decision
.
During
this
time
,
Juanita
played
the
organ
at the
funeral
of
Leila
Hardy
and
rode
to
see
Ernest
that
same
day
. She
arrived
after
dark
, and
Ernest
shared
with her a
manifestation
he had
just
before
she
arrived
. He
thought
he
saw
her
sitting
in the
high
backed
rocking
chair
with a
white
haired
baby
boy
, and
felt
this would
come
to
pass
in
one
year
. This was an
answer
to
both
of their
prayers
and they were
married
.
Juanita
gave
birth
to their
son
exactly
one
year
later
. Also
included
are the
handwritten
and
typed
versions
of a
journal
Juanita
kept
from
1920-1921
during
the
time
of her
husband's
sickness
and
death
. She
writes
of these
trying
events
with
great
description
.
Juanita
was
very
strong
and
faithful
and
cared
diligently
for her
husband
during
this
time
.
Juanita
was
often
up
for
hours
in the
night
with her
husband
who
could
not
bear
to
sit
still
because
of
pain
but was
too
weak
to
walk
independently
.
Writing
of their
son
, she
said
the
Lord
had
blessed
them with a
healthy
baby
in
spite
of her
fatigue
and the
stress
surrounding
that
time
.
After
the
baby
was
born
,
Ernest
became
worse
and
couldn't
walk
or
eat
and
nearly
screamed
with
pain
.
Juanita
wrote
of the
Elders
who
came
into their
home
to
give
Ernest
blessings
which
is
the
only
means
of
relief
he
obtained
.
Juanita
also
recorded
a
manifestation
Ernest
had
following
one
of these
blessings
.
Ernest
never
complained
and
Juanita
wrote
, 'his
patience
was a
source
of
wonder
to
many.
' Of a
certain
time
period
during
his
illness
,
Juanita
wrote
, '
It
is
like
a
terrible
nightmare
to
me
yet
to
think
of that
time.
'
Hours
before
Ernest
passed
away
, he
called
Juanita
in, and she
wrote
, 'that
half
hour
with him will
always
be
remembered
as
one
of the
most
beautiful
of
my
life.
'
Juanita
reaped
the
benefits
of a
musical
home
and was the
primary
organist
at
12
years
of
age
, the
ward
organist
for
4
years
, and the
Sunday
School
organist
for
5
years
.
Juanita
also
served
as
Mutual
President
,
Sunday
School
teacher
, and on the
stake
Sunday
School
board
.
