I was only 7 years old when my mother died. So I remember very little of my mother, but I will write what little I remember and a few things that other people have told me about my mother. When we lived at Spanish Fork Field, I remember seeing our mother a time or two. One Sunday morning I remember hearing my mother say that in her father's home they always had family prayer and went to church. So I know that she was religiously inclined and was brought up in a good Latter Day Saint home. My father told me that my mother’s father, David Lant was one of the greatest scriptorians that he ever saw. Father said that David Lant could quote more verses of scripture than any other man he ever knew. Father told me that he and mother were married March 22, 1888. My older brother told me that my father and mother were married in the Logan Temple. Father told me that most of my mother’s friends were old ladies, several years older than my mother. Father told me that when my older brother, David Franklin Haymore was born, one of these lady friends of mother's came in to see mother's baby, she said, "I think he looks like the Pa." Mother was living in Payson, Utah at the time.

Later father took mother to Old Mexico. I was mother's next child. I was born on the San Pedro ranch in Chihuahua Mexico. They named me Mildred Adaline. The Adaline was after father's first wife, whose maiden name was Lucinda Adaline Taylor. They always called her Adaline. One of Adaline's sons, Arthur Samuel, told me that he went for the midwife (a Mexican woman ) who lived a little distance away at the time I was born. Arthur said he hooked up the horses to the wagon and went off down the road for the Mexican woman and the Mexican woman would not sit in the spring seat with him, but sat down in the wagon box just back of the spring seat. Arthur said he was in a hurry and the road was so rocky and bumpy by the time he got back with the midwife she had bounced around and slid clear down to the other end of the wagon box. Father told me that as soon as I was born the Mexican woman took me in the other room and put me down in a deep pan of cold water. Father said that nearly scared my mother to death. The Mexican woman said she did it to harden me.

While in Old Mexico, father told me that mother lived a close neighbor to a family by the name of Thane. Father said one winter this Thane family had a very hard winter, they did not have food enough to last them through the winter and mother shared what food she had with them, so they got through the winter all right.

My Mother's next child was a boy and they named him Alvino Antonio (a Spanish name). We children had never known when Alvino Antonio's birthday was but after I was married and had a family, Amanda Thane Tenny visited me and she told me that Alvino Antonio was born on my birthday, the day that I was one year old. She did not remember the date, but she said she did remember the incident of his being born the day that I was a year old. Alvino Antonio died in infancy. Father told me that he died of diarrhea or summer complaint as it was sometimes called. Father told me that my mother was the most affectionate of all his wives. (Father had his two first wives at the same time. The other two he had just one at a time.) Father told me that there were not many polygamist families but what got along better than his did.

Mother's next child was John Lester. He was born at Mapleton, Utah. He was named John after our mother’s brother John Lant. From Mapleton mother moved to Spanish Fork Field. About this time the United States Officers were after all polygamists to send them to jail. Mother lived on the underground for a long time. For a time we children all went by the name of Thane. I do not remember how old I was when we children were told that our name was not Thane but Haymore.

My mother was greatly tried living in polygamy and became very discouraged and left my father and married a man by the name of Andrew Crump. By this marriage was born a son whom they called Daniel. About two years later mother died in confinement. She got blood poison and died April 12, 1898, at Spanish Fork Field, Utah. Daniel Crump went to live with one of his father's sisters who raised him.

After my mother's death, my older brother, David, and myself went to live with my mother’s sister, Ella Kerr. She lived at Payson, Utah. My younger brother John Lester went to live with my mother's brother, John Lant. Father came from Old Mexico where he was living at the time and took my older brother David Franklin, John Lester and me home with him. We continued to live with him until we were all married.
