1. Thomas Sharrah Smart - Born 1823. My great-great-grandfather (my mother's family). He was known as the founder of Franklin, Idaho. (It was first called Green Meadows, Utah. Then in 1872 it became the southern-most settlement in Idaho). When Thomas Smart was not engaged in building his community, he was traveling across the plains helping other pioneer families. - Newspaper article in my "Book of Remembrance"
2. Gilbert Bright - Born 1840. My great-grandfather (my Dad's family). Gilbert Bright came to Richmond with the first group that settled Richmond in 1859. During the summer of 1866, he made a trip, at the request of the church officials, back across the plains to help other immigrants who were coming to Utah. It took him the entire summer to make the trip. Gilbert Bright home was located 2 blocks east of town on the north west corner. - Pg 236 - "History of Richmond, Utah" by Amos Bair
3. Wilson Calloway Robbins - Bud's great-grandfather (Dad's family). I am entering this information because how very strange it seems. This man went to Richmond (my hometown) that many years ago. He then moved to Weston, Idaho and was buried there. Wilson Calloway Robbins came to Salt Lake City in the fall of 1864 at the age of 40. He met Marriner W. Merrill (a Richmond resident that later became an apostle) who asked him if he would like to tie his horse to his wagon and ride to Richmond. On the way, Brother Merrill explained the gospel to him. Wilson Robbins was baptized January 1, 1865. - Pg 295 - "Robbins Family History" by LaRea Marchant
Richmond, Cache County, Utah - a green fertile valley in the northern part of Utah was my birth place. I was born June 24, 1927 at home (one block east of town on the north east corner. (Mother and Dad lived with Dad's older brother, Roy and wife Iva). Mother and Dad later bought (maybe rented - I don't remember) a home across the street on the south east corner which has since been torn down. My sister Shirley was born in this home. Later Mother and Dad bought a home which was located one block south and stood on the north west corner. Helen was born in this home.
One of my very first memories was at the age of four. I remember Dad taking me up to Grandpa and Grandmother Albiston to stay the night. The next day when Dad came to pick me up, he had a surprise for me. I started guessing of all the fun things I could think would happen. Disappointed to say the least when I found out it was a new baby sister (Shirley). The family said I acted upon this disappointment a few times. All three girls were born at home - not in a hospital.
Growing up I enjoyed the friendship of many good kids in the neighborhood. Ruth Louise Stoddard and her family, Betty Steed and her family, Aunt Ike - Uncle Roy and Seth and ArDean. We jumped in the hay at the Stoddard barn, played paper dolls on the kitchen floor, played jacks, jump the rope. The Stoddard's always took me along when they visited the different Aunt and Uncles. Grandma and Grandpa Stoddard lived in the neighborhood and we had so many good times at their home. Ruth Louise was a year younger than I was so the day I started kindergarten, she followed me down the street crying. (Later she skipped a grade).
Later as we got older and we had more friends come into our lives we had softball and played games downtown on the bank corner (at night) such as hide and seek, kick the can, run sheep run). Winter time we would go sledding on the hill east of our homes.
Mother and Dad always had such neat friends that would come to the house. They would eat dinner and stay for the evening. I don't know why but this was always special fun for me. Mother belonged to a bridge club - she would let us (Shirley, Helen, me) put the place cards on the tables for the bridge game. We would always watch and not put certain ladies together that may have problems playing cards with each other.
Dad's family and Mother's family were always a big part of our lives. All the (Dad's) families would get together and go up to Grandpa Joe's and eat dinner and all the cousins would go out and play in his big apple orchard. Grandpa Joe worked at the Lewiston Sugar Factory so Seth and I would go up and visit with Grandma - play the record player and wait for Grandpa to come home with burnt sugar candy in his lunch bucket.
Grandma Wilkinson (Mother's mother) lived across the street from the big Franklin, Idaho park and ball diamond. The cousin's all had such fun playing in this park together. The 15th of June was Franklin, Idaho (Mother's home town) once a year celebration. This was always something we looked forward to attending each year.
Mother and Aunt Rhoda whenever the need would take turns helping each other with different projects that needed to be done. Painting, papering, handicraft projects. This meant Aunt Rhoda would be there when I came home from school for lunch - oh what fun.
The church was always a big part of my life. Sunday School on Sundays, Primary after school on Monday's, Mutual on Tuesday nights.
In the spring we had the maypole ceremony. In the fall Halloween with a party and a spook alley. Christmas we put on plays and sang in a chorus. Family dinners with almost everyone in the ward attending. Sports of all kinds.
I loved the large tabernacle (later destroyed by a earthquake). They held graduations, weddings, funerals, stake conference, and all our ward meetings in this building. For our teachers we always had the young returned missionaries or the coolest young women of the ward. In the later years these Sunday School and Mutual teachers were a very good influence for all of us. I would have a crush on the missionaries and want to dress and comb my hair and look like the young women. Later when I was in Mutual I was voted Golden Ball Queen and then was one of the Stake Golden Ball Queens.
School
One memory I haven't forgotten was when my cousin Seth took me to school with him (before I had started school). I got to sit in his desk with him then he stood up and introduced me as his little cousin who was one of his best friends. (In latter years I think they called that "show and tell"). I attended Park School Elementary. My teachers - 1st Grade - Miss Jensen, 2nd Grade - Miss Fisher, 3rd Grade (my favorite teacher) Miss Lucile Fife, 4th Grade - Mrs. McCarrey, 5th Grade - Miss Webb (from her I learned to love music - she would have us put our heads down on the desks and listen to music. She would tell us some information about each piece and about the person that wrote the music). 6th and 7th Grade - Mr. Bagley (least liked of all the teachers), 8th Grade - Mr. Ballam (the principal of the school).
I had a lot of great friends over the years so this made the school days a little easier. All the Richmond girls that were both church friends and school friends (that was a good number of girls my age).
South Ward Girls - Constance Christofferson (one of my good friends over the years), Anna Laura Funk, Marva Lee Durney, Martil Bright, Jackie Thompson (another good friend over the years).
North Ward Girls- Barbara Bair, Ruth Galbraith, Pat Hendricks, Marva Johnson, Sarah Johnson, Renee Skidmore, Ruth Louise Stoddard, Gayle Thomas. I had these North Ward (Church) girls in both school and church so I seemed to be closer to these girls.
Boys (Richmond) - Bob Bullen, Sherwin Bair, Hugh Hicken, Ellis Jonas, Spencer Lawrence, Eugene Spackman, Roy Talbot.
In grade school I had one of the lead parts in an Opera. I was a Gypsy girl and I sang and had a speaking part. Bob Bullen and I sang a song on the Logan radio station - KVNU. Some of the Richmond people called and said they had heard me on the radio and what a great job I had done. Hazel Stoddard, who was attending Utah State University, said they had listened to it and said they thought I sounded great.
I attended 9th Grade at Lewiston Junior High in Lewston, Utah. Then we had High School (in Richmond) at North Cache High School. It was a small enough school that you knew everyone - which was a + (plus). I played trombone in the school band. I played basketball on a girls team in out PE class, which I enjoyed. Typing and shorthand was two of my favorite classes. I graduated from North Cache High School the spring of 1945. In my senior year - March of 1945 - we got word that Seth (cousin) had been killed on the 'U.S. Franklin Aircraft Carrier' just 60 miles out of Japan. What a blow - this was a hard thing to accept.
The fall of 1946 [1945] I moved to Provo, (172 East 2nd South, and lived with the Callahan Family) to attend the BYU. Leora Allen (from Cove), Elene Eskelson (from Cove), Renee Skidmore (from Richmond) were my roommates. We lived in the upstairs of the Callahan home. Carmella Peterson (from Fillmore) lived across the hall. Mary Callahan, a daughter-in-law of the Callahan's lived in another room. Betty Callahan, a daughter, lived in the room next to our room. This year was so much fun. I enjoyed my classes and the fun times we had with the friendship we had with all the girls that lived upstairs and the Callahan Family.
Jobs
Babysitting for Frank and Bessie Last's two girls - Molly Ann and Louise. Babysitting for Calder and Hattie Hall for their son Craig. I once tended Craig for two weeks while Hattie went to visit her oldest son Reid in the service.
Cleaned houses for Vea Small and Hulda Olsen. I also worked in Hulda's Cafe for a short time to help her with the lunch hour.
Worked for Mark Theurer in his store "Theurer's" as a cashier. I really enjoyed this job. His son Scott was working there as an all around helper and Wayne Day (and R. J. Spackman as the meat men). Nora Sullivan and Con Hendricks worked on the other side in the Dry Goods department. Mark was so good to me. He informed me years later that I was the first girl her had hired for this job.
Sub. at the library a few times for Maggie Merrill and then Laura Christensen.
Cashier at local theater. You worked one week on Friday and Sunday and the next week on Saturday and Monday. Calder Hall was my boss and Dad traded off running the shows. This job I really enjoyed. The Theurer's and the theatre jobs I had to quit (I worked these jobs for a couple of years) to move to Salt Lake.
I also worked a short time (summer after BYU) in Brigham City at the corn factory. Leora Allen and I ran the corn husker. We lived right there on the property with Ruth Burleigh and her Mother (from Logan). This was great fun.
Moved to Salt Lake in fall (Oct of 1948). Dad about had a fit when I quit my two jobs and left to go to Salt Lake without any prospects for a job. My cousin Eunice was instrumental in helping go to the right people to hunt for a job. I had a job within the first week. Federal Reserve Bank or First Security Bank. I took First Security Bank (which was probably a mistake because I could have made more money at Federal Reserve in payroll department). I worked with the auditors (Mr. Weaver and Elmer Anderson - later with Wallis Carlisle when he took Mr. Weavers place because Mr. Weaver retired. I learned the bank telephone switchboard and sub. when there was a need there. Good friends. Good times - and I really enjoyed this time of my life.
I lived with Bar Dee Bullen (a student nurse at LDS Hospital). Bar Dee was two years younger than me and was from Richmond. We lived on 8th Avenue between B & C Street in a home owned by a Miss Shick. Three nurses lived downstairs and Vera (own room), Helen (own room) and Bar Dee (shared a room with me) all lived upstairs. I worked in the bank until just a month before I had Scott (1948 until 1952).
I didn't work again until Bud lost his job and I thought I had better help out until things became normal again. I started work at the University of Utah Registrars department. 1st day work at your desk. 2nd day answering the telephone. 3rd day work with the students that came to your window. Well when they opened that window and there was a line of students a mile long. I lasted until noon then I went to the man that hired me and quit. He said I thought you would be one of our best employees. Yes! I said but I can't make it through the day. He said he would have a part timer stand at the window and help me. Good job. Good pay. A included parking space - good future. My own desk with my name plate (already there). It had been too long between jobs. I called Scott and went home.

A small community in the northern part of Cache Valley was my birthplace. A beautiful green, fertile valley, Cache Valley will always be the place I call home.
I was the first of the three daughters born to Melvin Harold and Ruby Albiston. A small community in the northern part of Cache Valley was my birthplace. My birthday June 24, 1927. I attended Elementary School at Richmond, Junior High School at Lewiston, High School at Richmond and a year of college at the Brigham Young University in Provo.
In 1948, I left home and moved to Salt Lake City. New jobs, new places and new experiences, before long I felt the same warmth in my heart for this valley that I had for my home.
I started working at the First South branch of First Security Bank of Utah and became what is known as an independent working girl.
My first year in Salt Lake I lived at 281 7th Avenue rooming house for girls. My second year I lived at 735 8th Avenue, with the Norman Williams fmaily. Norman was living in New York working for his Doctor's degree. Upon his return I moved in with his Mother, Mrs Mae D Williams at 762 8th Avenue. I lived there until the time of my marriage.
November 17, 1951 at the age of 24, I was married at the Williams home to Lowell W Robbins.
In March of 1952, we were married in the Logan L.D.S. Temple.
Our first child, Scott, a carbon copy of his father with his blond hair and blue eyes, was born November 27, 1952.
In January of 1953, we bought our first home. Our home was located at Kearns, a housing project just west of Salt Lake City.
August of 1955, a beautiful dark hair baby girl was ours but stillborn.
The opportunity of travel had never been mine, but since my marriage we have enjoyed many wonderful vacations together.
I have learned to love and enjoy the out-of-doors. My husband has taught me how to enjoy skiing, tennis and swimming. I hope each year will bring something new for me to learn, so I can better enjoy myself and the people around me.

I was the first of the three daughters born to Melvin Harold and Ruby Albiston. A small community in the northern part of Cache Valley was my birthplace. This green, fertile valley has been the birthplace of my father and his father before him. My Grandfather and three of his sons and their families lived there. It was indeed a happy experience growing up under this influence.
My school days for the most part were happy. The same group that attended my school class also attended my Primary, Sunday School and Mutual classes; thus we grew up together enjoying a very close companionship with each other.
My first time away from home was the year I spent at Provo, Utah attending the Brigham Young University. Many lessons I had to learn from this experience. My hardest but most of the time most enjoyable was learning to live with girls that have been some of my high school friends. I also had to train myself to keep from running home each time I felt the least bit homesick. At the end of the year, I felt I had come through the situation with flying colors.
I then moved to Salt Lake to work. After making many new friends and enjoying many happy times, I soon learned to love this valley and to feel that it too was my home.
I met the fellow that was to become my husband while living in this city. We were married and one year later were blessed with a fine son. We spent the first six years of our marriage living in Salt Lake City and the last four in Orem, Utah.
My husband has taught me to love and enjoy the out of doors. It is through his influence that we enjoy many activities as a family. We still get a great deal of pleasure with our contacts with our families. Our only real frustration has been in wanting a larger family, but we have a good life. We enjoy our church, our families and our neighbors.

This green, fertile valley has been the birthplace of my father and his father before him. My Grandfather and three of his sons and their families lived there. It was indeed a happy experience growing up under this influence.
My school days for the most part were happy. I did not have too much trouble making friends, but was always just a little too shy and unsure of myself. The same group that attended my school class also attended my Primary, Sunday School and Mutual classes; thus we grew up together enjoying a very close companionship with each other.
I especially enjoyed attending Mutual with all its different activities. We had many good times practicing and presenting three act plays, practicing and learning new dances and during the summer we enjoyed the use of the Girls Home in Logan Canyon. One of the big thrills of my Mutual days was when I was chosen Queen of the Gold and Green Ball.
While living at home, I worked at many different jobs to give me a little spending money. I did regular babysitting jobs for about three different families, cleaned for a lady on Saturdays, cashiered at the local theater, worked as a checker at the grocery store, relieved on vacations at the library, and worked at the local cannery. Some of these jobs were regular and others temporary, but they all served their purpose.
My first time away from home was the year I spent at Provo, Utah attending the Brigham Young University. Many lessons I had to learn from this experience.

I then moved to Salt Lake to work. After making many new friends and enjoying many happy times, I soon learned to love this valley and to feel that it too was my home. I lived at three different homes while I was a single working girl. The first home was a private home with rooms for four girls. The second I lived with a lady and her two children while her husband was back east studying for his Doctor's Degree. The third lady I lived with was a widow and mother-in-law of the lady that I had lived with before. These homes I really enjoyed and felt very fortunate to be a part of them.
I met the fellow that was to become my husband while living in this city. We were married and one year later were blessed with a fine son. We spent the first six years of our marriage living in Salt Lake City and the last four in Orem, Utah.

Written in 1989. This is the unedited version. The published version has been edited.
I was the first of three daughters born to Melvin Harold and Ruby M. Wilkinson Albiston on June 24, 1927. Richmond, a small community in the northern part of Cache Valley Utah, was my birthplace. This green, fertile valley has been the birthplace of many of my ancestors. It was indeed a happy experience growing up with this influence.
My Mother's great-grandfather, Thomas Sharrott Smart, was know as the founder of Franklin, Idaho. He was the first branch president and upon his shoulders fell the responsibility of spiritual leader, builder, advisor, peace-maker and provider. My Father's grandfather, Gilbert Bright, came to Richmond Utah in 1859 with the first group to settle there.
My school days for the most part were happy. The Richmond girls all stayed together as friends (I was always just a little too shy and unsure of myself) but the Richmond girls were always there for me through all the school and church activities.
I worked at many different jobs while living at home: babysitting, working at the local cannery, substituting at the library, cashiering at the local theatre, and checking at the local grocery store.
I graduated from North Cache High School and attended one year at Brigham Young University.
I moved to Salt Lake in October of 1948. I was able to find a job my first week in Salt Lake. I started work at the First Security Bank on First South and Main - this job I enjoyed for four years.
I married Bud (Lowell Wesley Robbins) on November 17, 1951. Scott, our first child was born November 27, 1952. We bought our first home in Kearns, Utah. Because of a job change, we moved to Orem, Utah and bought a home there. Another job change brought us back to Salt Lake. Jan, our daughter, was born December 2nd, 1962, the same year our current Salt Lake home was purchased.
I have been employed for the last 15 years at the Church Office Building in the Magazine Department. This job has been a very rewarding and happy experience for me through the years.
Some of my favorite things include: family get-togethers, entertaining overnight guests, tennis, crafts, and a great appreciation of music.

Memories
Fifty years (such a long time), but my memories of my days at North Cache are mostly happy ones. The teacher that come to mind are Miss Thornley (English), Mr. Hurren (Geometry) and of course playing the trombone in Mr. Pulsipher's band class.
Education / Employment
I spent 1 year at BYU (and of course 100 years of hard knocks). I was a checker at local grocery store, cashiered at a local theater, substitute at the local public library, and I worked at Sears in Logan for a short time. I earned enough money from these jobs to move to Salt Lake City to hunt for fame and fortune. In Salt Lake, I worked at First Security Bank, 1st S. Main St, SLC. After the children were older, I went to work in the magazine department of the Church Office Building and worked for many years as an 'on call' employee.
Family / Personal
Married: November 17, 1951 to Lowell W. (Bud) Robbins in Logan, Utah. Bud grew up in Ogden, Utah and was a graduate of Ogden High School and the University of Utah.
Children: Scott was born on November 27, 1952 and grew up in Orem and Salt Lake. He graduated from Skyline High School in Salt Lake and the University of Utah. Jan was born on December 2, 1962 and grew up in Salt Lake. She graduated from Skyline High School and Utah State University.
Personal: I have always told the family that the reason I am such a special person is because I grew up in a great small town (Richmond) and then a graduate from a great small High School, North Cache. They didn't have such good luck.
Family: My husband had a strong backgrouind in skiing, tennis, and golf. As a result, the family became active in all these activities. Bud, Scott and Jan are very active in tennis, some skiing and golf, and me, well that another story.
