Life Sketch
This information was compiled in August 1961 [Florence and LaMar Harris] submitted by granddaughter GaeLene Harris Miller, SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF JOSEPH DANIEL HARRIS On December 15, 1874, in a log house in Kaysville, Davis County, Utah, a fifth child and third son was born to Thomas Eagles Harris and Mary Ann Payne Harris. His father gave him the name of Joseph Daniel in January of 1875.
Joseph’s fine heritage was not monetary wealth, but the privilege of being born to a family of humble and God-loving people who had exercised great courage in following the dictates of their hearts to a new religion and a new land. 

His father was born on the high seas, on the ship Echo, whose Captain offered free passage to the family on any future trips on that vessel if they would name their son Echo. It is thought that the rough passage, added to the fact that they did not expect to be sailing again, helped make the decision to give him a family name.
Somehow the name Eagles matches the family and certainly Joseph who has been a steadfast, brave, and dependable son, brother, husband, father, citizen and church worker, whose wisdom has been sought by many who needed resolving of problems.
Joseph remembers both Father and Mother as being soft-spoken people, who were firm in their teaching but gentle in their dealing with their family of five sons and six daughters.
Although not in very good health, Joseph’s mother managed her duties as a housewife, taught her children, sewed and knitted for them, made the boy's suits, and gave of her time to the church. Joseph remembers wearing a little sunbonnet made by his mother to protect him from the sun. 

He was seventeen when he had his first ‘store-bought’ suit. Shoes were not easily come by, even though made by a Mr. Bone for $1.50 for stogies and $3.00 for Sunday shoes. Joseph herded sheep and cattle through sagebrush and thistle with bare feet.
The family home in Kaysville was a 2 room log cabin, with a ‘lean-to’ on the back that served as a summer kitchen. Joseph slept with his brother in a low bed.
When Joseph was nine the family moved to a five-room house in Layton on a 160-acre dry farm. The north line of this farm set what is at this writing the south boundary of Hill Field Air Force Base, and the original farm is now cut in two by a road, with less than 30 acres remaining in the family.
Because of his poor health, known as a youngster as ‘child-fever’ and a three-year bout with malaria near the age of 15, Joseph had little formal schooling. His mother taught the children from the Bible as best she could. 

In the little 24 by 40-foot schoolroom that served the community, as many as 70 students from seven to twenty years of age attended from about September to March. Joseph had about three months each year. The students were considered graduated when they finished #2 Harper Arithmetic and #5 Reader. At the age of twenty-one, Joseph attended Weber Academy in Ogden for about three months.
As in the lifetime of most boys, Joseph knew both sad and happy times. He hid under the seat once in his anxiety to go with his father on a hay wagon, and begged so hard to stay that he was allowed to go along. His curiosity about gravity lead him to dropping a bucket full of water into a well to see if it traveled faster than an empty bucket; he and his companion were dismayed to find it had force enough to drop both buckets and hook into the well! He knew the tragedy of seeing a boyish prank of hooking rides on a freight car take the life of a beloved playmate.
Dancing was a great part of community life in his youth, and everyone turned out to the school or church building to dance to the tune of a three-piece orchestra, which always included a ‘fiddle ‘and an old hand-organ that the boys had to pump. Joseph got a good workout pumping the organ and graduated to being the ‘fiddler’, which job he kept through the two valleys in which he lived.
At the age of 17, he began to be in a little better health, and started doing farm work for hire and was soon able, through his diligence and application, to start planning for his own home and future. He felt that he could not support a wife just yet and so gained a bit of a reputation as a flirt because he had a smile and a dance for all the girls. A certain young lady named Annie invited him to a leap year dance, and he, in turn, invited her to a dance; the following summer at a fishing party he was told that Annie had a ‘bone to pick’ with him—they walked away from the group and she told him she thought they’d better quit—which he always considered a mighty cold scald!
In 1896 he came to the Bear River Valley to work for the Canal Company for about three months. He came again in 1897 and found land could be purchased rather cheaply, he and his brother invested in property in what was first Point Lookout (and Indian name), then Rowville, and then Bothwell.
Before leaving to farm their land, Robert invited Joseph to accompany him to Morgan to see his girl. Their transportation was Joseph’s beautiful dapple grey horse named ‘Ben’ and his brother’s horse named ‘Frank’, which had already gained a reputation as a dashing outfit when hitched to either sleigh or wagon and more than once races were run to and from church and school. 

In the family, at Morgan, was a girl named Mary, who has since told of looking out the window when the brothers arrived and being immediately smitten with Joseph and his white straw hat, and deciding then and there she would marry him if she could! After they sat together in the family buggy most of the day Mary invited him to come again, and when he wrote from the North Valley to ask permission to call she answered that the door would be open any time he came.
Joseph and Mary married in the Salt Lake Temple on May 25, 1898, with lilacs and orange blossoms as Mary’s corsage, and the same lovely flowers filling her family home when they had the reception.

In three days, they were on their way to their new home in Bothwell. Travel was not easy over the roads that were barely paths and it took three days for the journey. When the couple reached Corinne and not a house existed from there to Bothwell Mary felt she was leaving civilization and asked how much farther they must go.
When they reached their destination, they shared a one-room home with Robert and his wife Harriet and their bedroom for the summer was a tent. They prospered and that winter were able to build a three-room home of their own, to which later was added another room.
Their marriage was blessed with eight boys and one girl, and it is told that when the daughter arrived the six older brothers climbed to the highest stack of hay on their farm and shouted to the valley that they had a new baby sister.
It might be mentioned that the first child was born at the home of Mary’s mother and Joseph received word by letter at the arrival of his son. Mary was delayed a little in returning and Joseph made the long trip from Bothwell to Deweyville twice before she arrived on the train.
Joseph’s life has covered a span of progress in this land, he has seen candles progress to electricity; horse-drawn harvester machinery changed to huge combines; transportation grew from horse to airplane; communication grew from letter to telephone, to radio, to television; and now the space age is included in his life.
In 1913 Joseph built one of the nicest homes in the small town of Tremonton. It was such a lovely home that his brother used the same architect’s plans to build another one. The home has had slight remodeling but remains as comfortable a home as one could ask for. Into this home in Tremonton was born the two youngest sons.
In addition to running the farm in Bothwell, Joseph and his brother and brother-in-law ran a store situated on Second West and Main Street. This grew to what is now the Waldron Building at Main and Tremont and was the first brick business building in Tremonton. Joseph and Robert also owned the Tremont Coal and Grain Company and many a story can be told of the growth and changes in the valley this business has known. 

A typical story of the fairness of Joseph in his dealings is during one of the years of World War I when coal and other items were scarce, and he had to make many a trip to Salt Lake to get coal for his customers. On one occasion the wagons had waited so long in the falling snow that the snow in the Wagon and scale weighed heavier than the coal total and when Joseph discovered that fact in totaling the weight later he figured carefully and sent a refund to the customers.
Also during the War, he was commissioned by the U. S. Government to purchase the grain gathered and stored by the Relief Society. This mission he carried out with dignity and fairness also.
In his family of nine children, five have college degrees, and the other four were given comparable aid in establishing themselves.
The devotion of the family is deep-rooted and each member has, with great pride, contributed to the pleasure and well-being of both Father and Mother. Trips have been arranged from Tremonton to the Grand Canyon, California, Pacific Northwest, Alberta, Canada, Chicago, New York, the New England States and Washington D.C.
All of this has added to Joseph’s education and he is well-versed in world affairs both from observation and study.
His devotion to his Church duties is legion. He is a High Priest, has served a three-year mission to California at a time when he left a wife and family of five children at home. 

On this mission, he knew many faith-promoting incidents, but none more graphic than that of a night on a ship between Eureka and San Francisco when the storm threatened to capsize the ship. Both he and his companion were tossed about but neither of them became seasick and said as much to the Purser when he knocked on their door in the morning, upon being told they were Mormon Elders he said, “Oh, you can’t make those S.O.B.’s sick!” They were invited to the Captain’s Cabin and were told that in the 40 years he had been afloat the Captain had not worried about losing his ship before and he would not have worried that night had he known the Elders were aboard, as no ship had ever sunk with Mormon Elders.
He has been superintendent of the Bothwell Sunday School, First Counselor in the Elders Quorum, Ward Clerk, Board member of the Stake Sunday School, and Superintendent of the Tremonton Sunday School.
He had the unusual task as an Elder of having to go to the neighboring town to choose a casket and having no other way of measuring the size, the maker had him lie in the box to check it for length. During that same era, he took his turn sitting with the dead, who were always laid out at home.
He has sent three sons on missions and has contributed to the building of eight church edifices, and has stated that somehow the money always turned up for the building fund.
It is easily understandable that these qualifications should have prepared him to serve as Justice of the Peace in Tremonton for five years, and a member of the Box Elder County School Board for four years.

Verna Belle Harris

Born 3 Sep 1886 Kaysville, Davis, Utah
Blessed 1886 by her grandfather William Lauder Payne
The missionary that didn't come home 
A part of her young life:  When fifteen years old , Verna fell in love with John Jacob  (Jake) Fife, a young man from Clinton, Davis, Utah, that was going on a Mission to the Southern States.  He was set apart on 15 October 1901 and left Salt Lake City the same day.  He was doing well when he was stricken with a contagious disease and died 8 Dec 1902 - having served only half of his mission.  His remains were taken to Selma, Alabama (a distance of about 50 miles) in a wagon.  He was interred there as the health authorities believed he had died of diphtheria and consequently would not allow the remains to be shipped to Utah.  I do not know if the remains were later removed from Alabama, or if this stone is just a monument with nothing buried beneath it.

  1. I am so grateful for your blogs. They are really brilliant.

    Hannah Maria Eagles is my 2nd great-great aunt on my Mother's side. Normally a bit too distant to go doing too much research but I find the Eagles in Utah so fascinating that I spend an inappropriate amount of time looking into that side of my family history.

    Thanks ever so much for all of the work that you put it. Please keep it up.

    Regards and stay safe,

    Ron.
