Biography
Stella
Permelia
Sudweeks
Wood
was
born
on
May
27
,
1890
, in
Junction
,
Utah
to a
staunch
L.D.S
.
family
. In
1905
, the
family
moved
to
Twin
Falls
,
Idaho
where
Stella
'
s
father
bought
land
to
farm
.
Stella
describes
the
atmosphere
of
Twin
Falls
as
being
a
strong
anti-Mormon
sentiment
. Her
encounters
with those not of her
faith
continually
increased
her
desires
to
serve
a
mission
. In
1912
,
Stella
was
called
to the
Central
States
Mission
. She
spent
most
her
time
in
St
.
Joseph
and
St
.
Louis
,
Missouri
.
Stella
rode
in the
same
train
leaving
Utah
as
another
missionary
named
Roy
Wood
who
had been
called
to the
Southern
States
Mission
.
After
both
were
honorably
released
, they were
married
on
April
8
,
1915
in
Salt
Lake
City
,
Utah
. In
1925
, they
moved
back
to
Twin
Falls
,
Idaho
where
Roy
became
Bishop
of the
Twin
Falls
Ward
during
the
Great
Depression
. In
1945
,
Stella
and
Roy
were
called
to
serve
a
mission
to
Great
Britain
.
Because
of the
post-war
problems
in
England
, they
performed
more
service
activities
than
proselyting
. In
1969
,
both
Stella
and
Roy
were
set
apart
to
work
in the
Idaho
Falls
Temple
;
Roy
was
called
as
First
Counselor
to the
Temple
President
.
Stella
and
Roy
had
seven
children
.
Abstract
<p>
Stella
Permelia
Sudweeks
Wood
wrote
her
autobiography
as a
Christmas
present
for her
children
and
grandchildren
. The
autobiography
was
written
in
four
installments
,
each
one
a
continuation
of the
previous
. The
first
contains
the
record
of
Stella's
early
life
until
the
end
of her
mission
to the
central
states
(including
her
first
acquaintance
with
Roy
Wood)
. The
second
installment
begins
with her
marriage
to
Roy
and their
experiences
in
coping
with the
Great
Depression
in the
farm
country
of
Idaho
. The
third
section
starts
with an
extensive
genealogical
synopsis
of
Stella's
family
, the
Sudweeks
, and the
rest
of the
section
is
devoted
to
Stella's
Faith
Promoting
Experiences
,
where
she
provides
insight
to her
moral
character
and
value
system
. The
fourth
installment
deals
primarily
with a '
Ëœwrap-up
'
history
of her
life
including
the
successes
of her
children
and
husband
. She
supplies
a
quick
introduction
to the
laminated
original
and
photocopied
letters
found
in the
folder
.
Stella
is
meticulous
in her
facts
and
detail
. She
gives
extensive
description
of
England
in
late
1940's
in
relationship
to the
L.D.S
.
Church
.
