In Memory of Dale Brough Rex (1922-1944)

In the process of dismantling Helen Rex Frazier’s disintegrating scrapbook I’ve puzzled over what to do with some of the things that meant so much to her. Like this page. Filled with clippings she collected about her cousin Dale Brough Rex.

Born February 4, 1922 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Samuel Wayne Rex
(1915-1967) and Elizabeth [Aunt Bess] Smith (1890-1973).
He was killed December 18, 1944 in Saarlautern, Germany during World War
II.

Reminders of the loss of her brother, John Morgan Rex, three years earlier. There aren’t dates, or the names of the newspapers these clippings came from.

Yesterday cousin Yara S. sent me this link to a 1944 News Real. Thank you, Yara! News shorts were projected onto movie theater screens before the main feature in those days. The first item on this clip is American General Irwin presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to Sergeant Dale Rex.

Helen Melvina Groesbeck Morgan, little girl's white dress 1921

Another of Helen Melvina [Mellie] Groesbeck Morgan’s great great great granddaughters will be baptized this weekend. Emma will wear the white dress Mellie made for her granddaughter, Helen Rex Frazier, on the occasion of her baptism in 1921.

This embroidered white pinafore and dress, with scalloped tiers, and sashes tied at the sides, is typical of Mellie’s work. Her granddaughter, Winifred, guesses it might be the last dress her grandmother made. Mellie received this prize for it in the Utah State Fair that year.

Some years ago I laid the dress on a copy machine and got the following picture.

I’ve tried to put together in my mind Helen Rex Frazier’s baptismal day. Her lovely white dress and the canal on the south side of Randolph. When we traveled, as a young family, from Randolph towards Woodruff, we crossed the bridge spanning the canal. Helen frequently reminded her children that it was in that canal where she was baptized. According to family records it was on September 4, 1921.

Recently reading her cousin, Amy Rex Gerber’s, account of her own baptism the following year, helped me see how it could have happened. Amy Rex Gerber (1914-1998), daughter of John Oseland and Edna Josephine Brown Rex was born 1 May 1914.

Amy wrote, “Since the death of cousin Helen, I have been the oldest living Rex granddaughter [of William and Mary Elizabeth Brough Rex]. … I was baptized 2 July 1922 by Henry Hoffman and confirmed the same day by Bishop John C. Gray. Dad took me on a horse to the canal south of town, after Sunday School, to be baptized and then home, all wet, to prepare to go to Sacrament Meeting for the confirmation at 2:00 p.m.”

[Editor’s note: John Morgan continued with his responsibilities in the Southern States Mission from June 21, 1885. On August 27, 1885 he met Mellie (wife, Helen Melvina Groesbeck) and two of their children (one is Nicholas G.) in Pueblo, Colorado. They traveled together to the Colorado and Arizona settlements where John Morgan participated in multiple conferences. On September 14 they traveled from Snowflake to Taylor, Arizona, when he wrote the only comment he recorded about his family during that time. Our boy has caught the sore eyes. On September 19, 1885 they were back in Pueblo, Colorado.]

[Editor’s note: After an April 13, 1885 departure from Salt Lake City for the East, Annie Mildred Smith Morgan and baby Annie Ray (1884) are with John Morgan as he leads the Southern States Mission and stays away from the Marshals in Salt Lake City, Utah. While I was looking for the material for “Something Further about C. F. Christensen” I realized Annie spent months of her first year as a mother with John Morgan in the Mission Field. It appears that Annie and baby stayed in the Wm. R. Manning home a great deal of the time, some miles outside of Rome, Georgia. Would that be in the Haywood Valley? They spent a great deal of time traveling on trains throughout the mission. He took her with him to visit some nice places.]

[Editor’s note: I do not know if Annie’s trip to England was planned prior to when they left Salt Lake City, or came about for other reasons. Of which I can see many. I assume she went to England to visit her parents, who she lists as Joseph Smith and Sophia Perry, Penkridge, Staffordshire, Eng. in the Conejos Co.

Susan Frazier (October 20, 1951 - November 26, 2006)

Glenn and Helen Rex Frazier with daughter Susan. Helen is holding granddaughter, Evette, 1969, about the time Susan wrote the following.

Autobiography of Susan Frazier from her Book of Remembrance. Written about 1969.

It was the start of the deer hunting season. Dr. Webster, my mom’s obstetrician, and my father, Glenn Frazier, were both deer hunting, so my mom and I decided to do everything by ourselves. I was born [October 20, 1951] in the hallway on the way to the delivery room at the Utah Valley Hospital in Provo, Utah. I’ve been very independent ever since! We went home to a very proud father and an excited brother and sister, Glenn Rex and Bessie Lynne. There is one year and one week exactly between my brother and sister and then nine years later I come along. Besides being independent, I’m very spoiled, due to the fact that I had loving parents and a brother and sister that spoiled me. At one month, my mother [Helen Rex Frazier] and I went to visit the doctor. After listening to my heart, he about fell through the floor. “That wasn’t there at birth,” he exclaimed. My poor mother was also about to fall through the floor, when he told her. I had a ventricular septal defect. At age ten, I went to a heart specialist. He wanted me to have open-heart surgery and because heart surgery was not very specialized in Salt Lake he wanted me to go the Mayo Clinic at Minnesota. This came as quite a shock to my parents. My father sent my name into the prayer circle at the Salt Lake Temple. After many tests, it was decided that I did not need the operation. I truthfully believe that it was through the power of prayer that I did not have to go.

My mother is from a small farm town in northern Utah. Her father’s family is pure pioneer stock from the country and her mother’s family is pure pioneer stock from the city. I never had the privilege of meeting my mother’s mother (Grandma [Bessie Morgan] Rex) in this life. She was a great lady and I’ll be very happy to meet her on the other side. My Grandpa [Percy Harold] Rex is a man of very strong character. At the present, he is my only living grandparent. His fine posterity shows the good life he has lived. He married a very sweet woman after my Grandma Rex died, Aunt Mary. She is always making something with her hands when I see her. I’ll never forget when my cousin, Flora Lee, and I used to play Russian spies and wear her hats and shoes. Ten miles from my mom’s small town is my dad’s small farm town. His mother [Emily Rufi] was from Salt Lake but went to live in Woodruff (name of small town) when she got married. My grandfather [Frank Union Frazier] was never a member of the Church, but he always allowed my grandmother to take the kids to church. His father [Stephen Vestal Frazier] was one of the first settlers in that valley. Because he was not a Mormon the early members of the church were not too hospitable, so he told all of his children NEVER to join the church. A father’s advice and counsel were upheld in that day because none of his children ever did join. I don’t remember my Grandpa Frazier but I’m very excited to see him because I’ve been told he’s a very generous and kind man. He always helped his neighbors (whether they were Mormons or not) and I’m sure He’s very happy now since my brother has been baptized for him. I’m very grateful to my Grandma Frazier because it was through her endurance and faith that kept religion in the home. She died when I was twenty and I’ll never forget the fine example and good life she led. I had the honor and blessing to play an organ solo at her funeral. She was a fine lady in everything she did. I love and miss her very much.

My mother was the very serious, quiet type. My father was the big athlete-stud, Casanova. I don’t see how they ever got together. I’ll never forget the story, my father always tells us kids, when my mother went to a dance with her father. My dad asked her to dance and then asked if he could take her home. Her reply was “I’ll go home with the one that brought me!” She was quite prim and proper besides serious. She became the first queen of the fair and rodeo because my dad bought all her penny votes for queen. They were married during the depression when my father was working in California. My mother went down to Oakland and they were married. One year later, they went through the temple when they came up for my grandmother’s (mother’s mother) funeral. They went back to California where my brother and sister were born. After living there for approximately seven years they came back to ‘Zion’ where I was born. We lived in Provo for a couple of years and then moved to Salt Lake where we’ve lived ever since. We all attended Madison Elementary, Central Junior and Granite High Schools. Fifth grade was my year! I won the hopscotch tournament for the fifth grade, got the only “A” in history and was on the championship times-tables team. In Junior High Vicky Comes and I became life long friends. We shared our seventh grade locker together. The locker was three feet high, nine inches wide and one foot deep. We fit all our books, two pairs of boots, two coats, one umbrella and two briefcases in. It was quite a squeeze! I’ll never forget those briefcases. (We looked like the seventh grade geniuses with our cases.) Vickie Page, (now Smith), Vicky Comes (now Hodgson) and I were the only students in the seventh grade with briefcases. I was on the honor roll and was one of thirteen key scholars in ninth grade. I played Cinderella’s ugly step sister in the school play. Vickie Page and I were on the school police for CE and I was the secretary for the Seminary. In high school I was in the pep club, madrigals, concert choir and symphony debs.

In the early days, I remember my brother and sister use to fight a little. She used to chase him out of the house and then she and I would stay inside while he stayed outside and tried to come back inside. I always thought this was such fun! I have some of the choicest spirits for a family. My parents have taught me by example and with love. Besides being my parents I consider them two of my most closest friends. My brother is a spiritual, financial and personality giant. My sister is a psychologist, writer, antique collector, upholsterer and gardener (plus too many other things to write down.) I really don’t understand how I fit into this family, but I do!

Jacob and Anna Margaretha Tuck Rufi, Part 2 of 2

Active Church Worker
Answers Death Summons
Mrs. Jacob Rufi

[Deseret News November 14, 1919.] Mrs. Anna Rufi, widow of Jacob Rufi, 240 south Ninth East, died this morning at a local hospital. Mrs. Rufi was born in Germany 67 years ago and came to Utah 41 years ago, where she has since resided. She has been an active worker in the Eleventh ward for the last 37 years and was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ, of Latter-day Saints.

Mrs. Rufi is survived by six children: Mrs. Annie Frazier, Jake Rufi, and Emily Frazier of Woodruff, Utah; Agnes Frazier of Salt Lake; Wm. and David Rufi of Oakland California; also 14 grand-children. Funeral announcement will be made later.

The actual obituary, which follows, was too difficult to read. I snatched the picture (above) from Mother's picture pedigree chart.

Thinking I might find information about Jacob and Anna from early Eleventh Ward records I spent a few days at the Church History Library.

An early Minutes book (L2569, series 11) of the Eleventh Ward, organized April 26, 1882, John Coulam, Sec., has the following entry, Jacob Rufi ordained Elder, January 25, 1884 by John Coulam.

Anna Rufi is listed in the minutes of the Eleventh Ward Relief Society (L2569, series 14) between1884-1885. She is counted among the sisters in Block 9. At each Relief Society Teacher’s Meeting recorded, her visiting teachers, Sister Mary Nelson and Sister Mary A. Nelson, frequently list Anna and her contribution; soap, tea, or money; usually 15-25 cents. Accessing and reading those records on microfilm at the Church History Library is tedious and time consuming. I’ve enjoyed the course, but haven’t more time for it. I trust the obituary. And await another descendant coming forth with additional information.

I obtained a copy of Anna Margaret Tuck Rufi’s hand written patriarchal blessing. It was given to her in Salt Lake City, April 7, 1902 by Patriarch E. A. Richards.

Jacob died at home at 244 South 9th East, Salt Lake City, Utah on May 19 1916. The cause of his death on his State of Utah Death Certificate L664 isn’t legible, nor is much else. His wife Anna’s signature is clear and the only time I’ve seen it. I wasn’t able to find an obituary.

Anna died at LDS Hospital on November 14, 1919 at 1:40 a.m. She was operated on there November 12, 1919 for Cholecyptitis [sic] by Doctor George W. Middleton. A Cerebral Embolism was the cause of death. Her State of Utah—Death Certificate P-1727 was signed by Mrs. Thos. Frazier [daughter Agnes Rufi Driscoll Frazier]. Anna was living at 240 So 9th East, which was with Agnes. That was next door to the home she and Jacob raised their family in, 244 So. 9th East. Her age was listed as 67 years, 10 months, 26 days.
This 1975 picture of their adobe home at 244 South 900 East, Salt Lake City, Utah was taken by grandson Glenn Frazier. The home was demolished soon after and replaced by an apartment building. This home home had Jacob's "shoemaker" sign in front of it.

This large upright marker is in the Salt Lake City Cemetery, marking plots R_1_5_1,2_E. It is in the R block about 270 North [Grand Avenue] and 1100 East Street. Some of their descendants are buried near them.

This lovely portrait of their children was probably taken when they gathered for their mother's funeral in 1919. L-R, William, Annie, Emily, Jake, David, Agnes.

Jacob Rufi is listed as a passenger on the 1877 Wisconsin voyage.
#128. Jacob Rufi, 22, M, Plasterer, Switzerland, Steerage. He is the only Rufi listed.

The steamship Wisconsin sailed from Liverpool England, with 714 Saints on June 25, 1877 in the charge of John Rowberry. The company arrived at New York July 7th and at Salt Lake City July 14th.

471 Scandinavian emigrants “boarded the steamship 'Wisconsin,' together with a number of British, German, Swiss, and Dutch Saints. Bishop John Rowberry was appointed captain of the whole company, while Elder Erik F. Branting was continued as captain of the Scandinavian emigrants. The 'Wyoming' [Wisconsin] sailed from Liverpool, June 27th, and arrived in New York, July 7th. From New York the journey was continued by rail westward the same day and the emigrants arrived safe and well in Ogden and Salt Lake City, July 14th.”

One passenger recorded “There were nearly a thousand emigrants of all nationalities on the boat. We had a pleasant trip with very little seasickness and arrived in New York as near as I could figure out, 7 minutes past 7 in the morning, on the 7th day of the 7th month, year 1877.”

How and when Anna arrived in Salt Lake City I haven’t discovered. According to Family Search she and Jacob married 17 Jul 1879, Salt Lake City, Utah.

In the 1880 Salt Lake City census they appear in the 18th Ward.

By the time I tried to come up with a history of Jacob and Anna Margaretha Tuck Rufi, nobody who was still living remembered them. In 2007 I talked with their last (I believe) surviving granddaughter, Helen Frazier Scott, who passed away that year. She told me her grandparents were gone before she was born, and she could no longer remember their names.

The R. L. Polk Salt Lake City directories told me a lot about the family. A nearly 30 year picture of their employment, and the roll Z.C.M.I. played in their lives. Emily told me her father’s shoemaker sign posted in their front yard embarrassed her. She delighted in going to Saltaire with her family to the yearly Z. C. M. I. employee parties. It was there her father yodeled as he had in his native Switzerland. Emily also told me her father gave each of the children a ring. Notice all of Annie's rings. You can read Emily's biography here.
