Mary 'Gert' Gertrude SeeleyPop-up Pedigree Event-Misc*: Alva, Crook County, Wyoming, U.S.A., Type: Fact #1 Note*: AUTO-BIOGRAPHY OF MARY GERTRUDE MORRISSEELEY It was in the spring of 1905 that we came from Iowa to Alva, CrookCounty, Wyoming, my sister, Alice Jane 'Jenny' (Seeley) Ingraham, AmyMahoney, and Will Mahoney. We came to John Thomas Mahoney's home one milesouth of Alva. Alva was only a Post Office and the family of Ed and Sarah (Mahoney) McWilliams lived in the same building, and cared for the Post Office. We enjoyed the hospitality of the John Thomas Mahoney family for threeweeks, getting acquainted with 'Aunt Hattie' (Harriett Hall) as she wascalled by many friends in this part of the country, and Ben (BenjaminFranklin Mahoney) who was about eleven years old at the time. I had contracted to teach the at Alva School before coming from Iowa, andbegan teaching three weeks after I came. Some of the children who came to school the first term were, Ethel McWilliams (who married Dr. Clarence Spradling), Nina Ellen Morris (who afew years later became the wife of Benjamin Franklin Mahoney, BenMahoney, Robert and Milo Fry, Jack, Ada, and Mattie Ruth Bear and SteveNevil. Hirum Mahoney’s family lived farther up Lame Jones Creek, John and Hirumcame from Magnolia, Iowa in 1877. Afterwards they moved to CentennialPrairie, between Spearfish and Whitewood and from there to Alva in 1886and filed on claims of land. They both lived on these until death took them. Farther on up Lame Jones Creek, about a mile from Hirum Mahoney’s ranch,Dana Simmons lived on another ranch. His wife was Lena Taylor. After several years, Dan and Belle Ruland and their son Dillon moved toAlva and took the Alva Post Office to care for. Also had a grocery storein Alva. Mrs. Ruland had three children, two daughters and a son from aformer marriage, to Charles Worthington French (who deserted her), Lulu,Lana, and Victor French. Belle Ruland united with the Reorganized Church the same time I joinedand afterwards we had many good visits along gospel lines. Bud Morris and family lived about a mile from Alva at the foot of theBear Lodge Mountains. He ran a blacksmith shop and built a home up thereand lived there for many years. Uncle Jake and Sally Wood and family came into the Alva vicinity severalyears before 1905. He was the promoter of getting churches built in thecountry. Many of the early residents donated material and work towardsbuilding two community churches, one in Alva and one in Hulett. Ed McWilliams donated the land the Alva church was built on, with theunderstanding in writing that it would always be a community church, tobe used by all church denominations. Hirum Mahoney preach the gospel in the early days, having been ordainedan Elder by Elder Morgan who came in for a short series of sermons in theAlva church. I was baptized into the Christian Church in Iowa, since my mother, MarySeeley preferred that church. But after more study of the Bible, I foundthe Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of The Latter Day Saints to be inmore harmony with truths of the Bible teachings, and was baptized againinto that church. Steve Morris, my husband, was baptized at the same timeby Elder James Kelly from Independence, Missouri who came into our Alva community to hold services and visitmembers of the church. In 1908 I married Steve Morris. When Joe was four months old, Steve andHenry Nevil were taking horses to Canada to sell: en route during a badelectrical storm Steve was killed by lightning. He was holding the poleon their tepee which was struck. It was one year from the time of hisbaptisms, 30 June, 1912, leaving me a widow with two children to support,Mary Ellen and Joseph Albro Morris. We had 3 1/2 years of a happymarried life before he was taken from me. When I first came to Wyoming most every one traveled on horse back orwith buggies and team. There was much land open for filing on homesteads. When I became 21, I filed on 160 acres of land near Deer Creek while Iwas boarding with the Frank Heinbaugh family there and teaching theirschool. Mr. Heinbaugh located my ranch for me. Seven of their nine children came to my school. They were a fine familyand I enjoyed my stay with them. While teaching my first term of school in Alva, I rode four miles toschool as I was boarding with my sister’s family who were living on theold Snyder place. I faced a blizzard from up there to Alva in May and said I was going backto Iowa where it didn't’t snow in May, as soon as my school was out.That was 54 years ago and I am still here, living in Hulett at thepresent time (1959). Aunt Hattie Mahoney died in 1909 and left John and Ben very lonely. Shewas a good wife and mother and a very dear friend of mine. We had manygood times together. She was one of the early pioneers of Wyoming andtold me there had been periods of six months that she did not see a woman. Aunt Sally Wood, Uncle Jake’s wife was another honest hearted good womanof the Alva community. I stayed with her at nights for a week and milkedher cows while her men folks were gone. They lived on Beaver Creek abouta mile from the Alva school where I was teaching. After Steve was killed, I kept house for John Thomas Mahoney, keeping mytwo children with me in his house. After three and one half years wewere married. We had twenty years of happy married life until he died 30 September,1936 at the age of eighty years of age. We had five children, Frederick, Alice, John, Lloyd and Edward. Lloyddied 25 April, 1929. Cause of death was sugar diabetes. Joe Morris, Steve’s and my son, enlisted in the air force and became aLieutenant Colonel. He married Berniece Lown of Spearfish, SouthDakota. They were in Pearl Harbor at the time of the Japanese attack.He was gone three days following the initial attack before his wife sawor heard from him. He was shot down over Elbeuf, France in a fighterplane. His body was never found. We lived on our ranch near Alva for two more years after my husbandJohn’s death, and then moved to Hulett, Wyoming where I am still living,very thankful to have a comfortable modern home. All of our family are married and some living far away. There have been many changes in living conditions since I first came toWyoming. We have electricity and many conveniences we didn't’t have then, whichdoes not make us any happier or more contented than we were 50 years ago.
