Biography
Mary
May
Clove
Little
was
born
May
5
,
1886
'on the
Mammoth,
'
Garfield
County
,
Utah
to
Neils
Ivor
Peterson
Clove
and
Mary
Anna
Barnhurst
Clove
.
Mary's
father
died
when
she was
young
, and her
youngest
sister
was
born
later
that
year
.
Mary's
mother
did
various
jobs
to
provide
for her
family
: she
taught
school
,
grew
a
garden
,
rented
part
of their
house
to
another
family
, and
tried
farming
. Their
Uncle
Jim
was a
great
help
to them, and they
visited
relatives
often
. Then,
Mary's
mother
went
to
Salt
Lake
City
to have a
tumor
removed
.
During
the
operation
, she
began
to
bleed
internally
, and the
doctors
thought
that she would
die
. She
recovered
for a
time
, but
got
worse
in the
fall
of
1898
.
Mary
was with her
grandmother
when
she
received
the
news
of her
mother's
death
.
Earlier
she had
overheard
her
grandmother
saying
that if her
mother
died
'he
[she
did
not
hear
the
name]
wouldn't
do
anything
for her
lazy
girls.
'
Mary
did
not
let
on that she had
heard
, 'but
resolved
to be
independent
of
my
relatives
as to
caring
for
me
and
I
have
kept
it.
'
After
her
mother's
death
,
Mary
lived
with
one
relative
after
another
: she
attended
school
,
cared
for
children
, and was
often
called
to
nurse
a
relation
during
an
illness
or to
help
a
mother
who
had
just
given
birth
. She
lived
in
Garfield
County
,
Beaver
, and
Panguitch
.
After
several
years
,
Mary's
sister
Naty
called
Mary
to
help
her
family
move
from
Mt
.
Carmel
to a
ranch
that they were
renting
from the
Littles
. Of a
visit
that
Mr
. and
Mrs
.
James
Little
made
to the
ranch
,
Mary
said
, '
Little
did
I
dream
that they
[would]
be
mine.
'
While
Mary
was
staying
with
Naty
and her
family
, '
Bud
'
James
Albert
Little
came
over
from
Glendale
to
see
her, and they
eventually
decided
to be
married
. They were
married
March
26
,
1909
in
Salt
Lake
City
according
to
some
sources
and in
St
.
George
according
to
others
. They
bought
a
ranch
three
miles
from
Glendale
and
settled
there. Of this
time
Mary
said
, '
I
was
happy
having
a
home
of
my
own.
'
Mary
and
James
were the
parents
of
seven
children
:
Fern
,
Kay
Clove
,
Fay
,
Val
Clove
,
James
Clove
,
Emma
, and
Niels
Clove
.
After
raising
all
of their
children
and
after
James
'
death
,
Mary
stayed
in
Glendale
and
cared
for her
aging
mother-in-law
.
Abstract
This
collection
contains
a
photocopy
of
Mary's
handwritten
autobiography
.
It
is
83
pages
long
, and
is
fairly
easy
to
read
although
the
photocopy
is
very
light
along
the
right
margin
of the
page
.
Mary
goes
into
great
detail
about
the
events
of her
childhood
, the
moves
that she
made
, and the
stories
that
stood
out
to her. She
writes
in an
unaffected
style
, with her
southern
Utah
dialect
coming
out
at
times
.
Because
she
refers
to
so
many
relatives
,
it
is
sometimes
difficult
to
know
who
she
is
talking
about
. She
spends
the
section
entitled
'
My
Social
Work
'
writing
about
singing
at
various
functions
with
another
girl
and
about
the
church
callings
that she
held
,
starting
with her
call
to be a
Sunday
school
teacher
at
age
15
.
Illness
and
death
were a
prevalent
part
of
Mary's
family's
life
, and are a
major
theme
in her
autobiography
.
Mary
was
born
with
weak
ankles
, '
born
tired
' as she
calls
it
, and she
remembers
having
to
crawl
through
the
house
as a
child
because
her
ankles
were
too
weak
for her to
walk
on. She
became
an
orphan
after
her
parents
'
premature
deaths
, and
spent
much
of her
time
nursing
others
through
sickness
.
After
she was
married
,
people
often
stopped
at their
house
to
stay
, and she and
James
would
do
the
same
if a
child
became
ill
while
they were
visiting
.
Mary
also
endured
two
miscarriages
and the
death
of her
daughter
Fern
,
who
died
of
appendicitis
on
Mother's
Day
.
Mary
ends
the
autobiography
by
describing
what her
children
have
done
with their
lives
, and with the
words
of a
song
, 'a
song
I
used
to
sing
a
picture
from
lifes
other
side.
