Abstract
This
collection
contains
the
biographies
of the
James
Leithead
Family
.
Each
biography
consists
of
copied
pages
and
many
include
pictures
of the
subjects
and of their
families
. Also
included
in the
collection
are
family
group
sheets
for
many
of the
subjects
providing
vital
records
for the
families
.
While
the
majority
of the
women
included
are
directly
related
to
James
Leithead
the
collection
does
not
make
every
relationship
clear
other
than those of his
wives
and
children
.
Lulu
Smith
Cox
is
one
of the
women
included
in the
collection
. Her
papers
include
an
autobiography
written
November
18
,
1953
consisting
of
19
typed
pages
of
text
, a
one
page
typed
article
of
Lulu's
memories
of her
grandparent's
(Thomas
Goldman
Smith
and
Ann
Cross
Leithead)
home
, and a
four
page
continuation
of her
autobiography
written
July
15
,
1975
.
Lulu
shares
memories
of her
home
and
childhood
. She
remembered
when
she was
eighteen
her
father
bought
the
fourth
car
in
Cedar
City
and she
learned
to
drive
by
sitting
in the
car
with her
brother
and
having
him
tell
her what to
do
.
Lulu
worked
in the
Old
Sheep
Store
as a
clerk
to
earn
money
.
Lulu
recalls
going
through
the
St
.
George
Temple
with her
husband's
blind
grandmother
,
Julia
Snow
Jones
, and that
Julia
went
through
as
though
she
could
see
perfectly
.
Lulu
shares
the
struggle
her
husband
had with
alcoholism
and the
promise
that she and her
son
William
received
in their
patriarchal
blessings
that
through
their
faith
Dee
would
lose
the
desire
to
drink
.
One
night
years
later
Dee
was
walking
home
and was
overcome
with the
most
amazing
feeling
and he
never
had the
desire
to
drink
again
.
Lulu
also
outlines
briefly
all
that
happened
to the
extended
members
of her
family
and her
children
in their
later
years
. She
concludes
by
sharing
her
testimony
of the
gospel
and
recounting
a
history
of her
church
service
.
