Mother: Henrietta Margaret Slusher
Notes:
(The following was contributed by Aunt Martha in 1996)
A.T. + Mana Knowles
They were both born and raised in Va. His father [Joshua Thomas
Knowles] raised horses and her father [John Akers] farmed. When
they married he was 21 & she was 23. They moved to a farm in Ks.
near Cambridge which is about 20 or so miles east of Winfield.
They had 6 children 4 boys - 2 girls. Your grandad Lonnie was
oldest + Wilbur was youngest.
They moved to Winfield when I was about 3 which would be 1921 or 22.
Your great grandma [Mana] was one of 8 girls + 3 boys. Her mother
[Martha Jones Akers] died when she was 17 and she [Mana] mostly
helped do the outside work so when she married she had not done a
lot of cooking and she taught herself how to sew. She made a lot
of their clothes even for the boys. When I was a teenager I
remember hearing her sewing a lot of times late at night after
every one else was in bed. She did not always have new material
so she made over clothes that were sometimes given her. She taught
both Opal and me how to sew and make over things. When I took
sewing in Hi school one of our projects was to make over a garment
and I got a good grade on mine.
She always made a garden. He [AT] would see that it was plowed or
spaded but she would do most of the rest. She harvested all they
grew and did all the canning. As you can see she was a really hard
worker and we did not always have indoor plumbing. The first washer
we had Opal drove the car and we three went to Arkansas City and
bought one at Montgomery Ward. Some way they tied it on the car
and we took it home and when the men came home from work they took
it off and carried it to the basement.
One time she did laundry for a dentist to pay for dental work for me
and herself and any others of the family who needed it.
When Opal's first child [Lester Lavere Kingsbury] came he was born in
our house and was a sickly baby so she stayed with us quite a
while. They finally determined he was allergic to milk. Even though
my dad hated goats he bought one and milked it so Lester Lavere could
have it. It worked and just a month we could see a big difference.
He put on weight and was soon fat as a butterball. Mom took care of
them and the rest of the family, too. Your granddad [Lonnie] and
grandma [Viola] were living in western Ks at this time.
(Lonnie and Viola were in Hugoton. All the
Dwyers were living on and working the same farm for Aunt Annie -
great- grandma Dwyer's sister)
Even though they had a big family and very limited income they always
tried to help others. Once when there was a flood in town they had
another family come stay with us until they could bet back in their
house. After they were gone mom found bed bugs in the bed. That
was one of the very few times I ever saw her angry. But she took
the bedstead outside and washed all the bed clothes but I think she
threw the mattress away. She worked very hard getting rid of the
bugs. But she kept on helping people when she could.
My dad [AT] worked 6 days a week but they were not 8 hr days. Most
of the time 12 hrs. However, on Sun. afternoons we would a lot of times
do something special if we didn't have company. Sometimes it was just
a drive in the country but he always made it interesting and fun. He would
often sing to us as he drove. One time he drove us all the way into
Okla. (about 20 miles) to show us a cotton field and even let us pick a
cotton bole. Other times he would take us to some little town we had
not seen before or drive to Arkansas City to play in the park or to
Cambridge and show us some places they had lived. In the summer a
Sunday afternoon favorite was homemade ice cream in a hand turned
freezer. Mom could make the best.
Dad enjoyed his grandchildren, too, but as he got older sometimes he
thought they were too rowdy and too noisy.
When he retired from his last job he took over making the garden and mom
spent more time on her flowers but she helped pick green beans and other
things. In her flower garden she had especially pretty peonies and your
mom's cousin Shirley has some plants that came from there. Dad's favorite
flower was the hollyhock.
(She wore it braided and wound in a bun at the back. We grandchildren
would comb & brush it for her many times - especially me [Lola Mae] - I
even gave her a perm 2 or 3 times on the front porch)
Mom [Mana] was about 5'5" tall and her weight varied over the years.
She always wore her hair long and even when she died at 78 she only had
a little gray. She had heart trouble the last few years. It was
angina and now they could do bypass but they didn't do that then and
she always had nitroglycerin. Her last few years she was very thin.
Dad was 5'8" or 9" and most of his life was very heavy but in his
later years slimmed down some because he was borderline diabetic and
his doctor and diet helped. He was white haired young as were some
of his brothers and sisters and I inherited that.
As soon as the boys were big enough they got jobs to buy their own
clothes and things they wanted Mom & Dad could not afford. As soon
as they could drive they bought cars as most boys do. Your grandad
(Lonnie) always liked out door work and Lester [Lester Ellis] did
some of that but as soon as he could he got an inside job. He first
worked in a department store making deliveries then he worked for a
furniture store. He was very good at laying linoleum and when Newton
Hospital was new he decorated the nursery floors and walls with it.
It was really something! Your granddad was about 21 when they
learned he was diabetic and he was rally sick for a while until they
got the insulin regulated. Opal had some problems, physically, as
a teenager and had to miss a lot of Hi school but she made it. The
only job I remember she had was in a photography studio. They were
nice people and treated her really well. She got married in 1931
and if Earl [Kingsbury] had lived till April this year they would
have been married 65 years. When I was stiil in Hi school I helped
people with housework and baby sitting. After I graduated I went to
Jr. College in Arkansas City then Lester helped me get a job at the
telephone Co. I just worked a little over a year when I got married.
Arthur J is 3 years younger than I and when he was old enough he delivered
newspapers on a bicycle. One time he broke his arm and I delivered them
for him. I also did some of his drawing at school in Mechanical Drawing
class. He told me what to do. His teacher let me do it so he would not
have to drop the class. Wilbur had odd jobs, too, and it seems one was
in a drug store but eventually he worked in the same furniture store
Lester had worked in before he went to Calif. Eventually, after he had
served in the Coast Guard, Wilbur went into the furniture business for
himself and owned several stores before he went into the insurance
business and then into motivational seminars in Florida.
Another thing our Dad tried to do was always have something in our
stockings at Christmas. Sometimes it was just a pensicl and some
fruits and nuts. Usually Christmas was the only time we had an
orange and i really looked forward to it because I loved oranges.
As times got better we had a little more but we never had big
Christmases like our children and grandchildren have.

Father: Charles Marion Tyler
Mother: Mary Catherine Longley
Notes:
Latter-day Saint Biographical Encyclopedia, Volume 1, Biographies
Tyler, Robert Marion, Bishop of Eden Ward, St. Joseph Stake, Arizona,
was born Aug. 31, 1864, in the town of Evergreen, Washington
county (now Giddings, Lee county), Texas, son of Charles Marion
Tyler and Mary Catharine Longley. He emigrated to Utah with his
parents in the spring of 1869, traveling as far as Kansas City,
Missouri, with ox-teams and also drove about one hundred head of
stock cattle. There his father sold teams and cattle and took
steamboat to Omaha, Neb. Thence he traveled by railroad to Salt
Lake City, Utah. Later, he moved to southern Utah and settled at
Kanab, where he helped to build up that place, which was only a
stockade fort at that time, built for protection against Indians.
In the fall of 1879, he moved to Arizona with his parents and made
that trip also with ox-teams. He arrived in the town of Woodruff,
Apache county, Arizona, on the little Colorado river, Jan. 1, 1880.
There he endured many hardships. Year after year the settlers
labored hard, trying to build a dam that would stand the terrible
floods of the little Colorado river, part of the time having to
eat barley bread, ground on a bran mill. When Bro. Tyler was
sixteen years old, he drove a four-horse team and hauled freight
from the Atlantic and Pacific railroad to Fort Apache, a distance
of one hundred miles, over a road that was much dreaded at that
time, on account of the Apache Indians, who so frequently raided
and murdered people in that as well as other parts of Arizona. This
kind of a life he was compelled to follow, in order to earn the
necessaries of life for the family, while his father was trying to
make a home at Woodruff. But they were successful at last. Bro.
Tyler married Leonora Pearce Feb. 3, 1884, and from that time
until the present he has labored and helped to settle and build
up several towns in Arizona. His wife died Feb. 14, 1893, leaving
him with four children. He married Charlotte Webb Feb. 15, 1894,
and moved to Eden, Graham county, Arizona, where he still lives,
in July, 1896. He was ordained a High Priest and Bishop of the
Eden Ward, of the St. Joseph Stake, Feb. 17, 1900, by Apostle
Heber J. Grant. Prior to this he had acted as president of the
Y. M. M. I. A., and had been ordained an Elder in the St. George
Temple in December, 1886, by John D. T. McAllister.
