  2nd wife of James Jens Mortensen. James and Ida Pease Mortensen met her. She helped Ida in the home. Family learn to love Elizabeth. During polygamy years, from family stories, it was Ida that encouraged James to take Elizabeth as wife in marriage. MY MOTHER'S LIFE STORY - Elizabeth Mears Hawkins Mortensen 1 March 1867 - 22 January 1911 By Zetta Fern Mortensen Sanders (daughter) Elizabeth Mears Hawkins Mortensen was born March 1, 1867 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Her father was Thomas Sunderland Hawkins and her mother, Elizabeth Mears Hawkins. She was born under the Covenant with her parents having been sealed and endowed in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City. She says she remembered playing on the temple grounds when the temple had only stones cut ready for building. The family moved to Lehi, Utah and then to Arizona. They lived in Pinedale. Shortly before mother was seventeen years old, she went to work for Ida J. Mortensen, wife of James Mortensen, whom she later married. In telling about it, she said, "I wanted more clothes than father could buy, so my folks consented for me to go to work. Sister Mortensen needed a girl, so it was agreed that I go there to work. It was in the winter just after Christmas that James Mortensen, with his sister Mary came in the wagon for me. Father came out to the wagon as I got in and said, 'Well, Brother Mortensen, why don't you do like I did. I hired Elizabeth's mother to work for my wife, and married her'. I said, 'Why father!' Brother Mortensen said, 'Thanks Brother Hawkins, I think I will think about it'. By then I was so embarrassed!" My mother told me about many cases of women asking her to marry their husbands in plural marriage. While working for Aunt Ida, when Ada was born one night, she felt impressed that she should marry Brother Mortensen, as she called him. The next morning he told her that he had been impressed to ask her to marry him. She told him she felt the same. Arrangements were made during the summer of 1884 and in December, a party of people went to St. George. One wagon in the company was drawn with a team of mules. The driver was my mother. Father drove a buckboard with his first wife and little family riding in it. My mother Elizabeth and father James were married December 12, 1884 in the St. George Temple. They made their home in Taylor, Arizona. They lived there about two years and then the persecution was so bad for polygamists that my Grandfather Hawkins took his families and moved to Mexico. To remove trouble from my father, my mother took her baby 'girl, Alice and went with her father's families to Mexico. The Hawkins' settled in Colonia Juarez. In Mexico, mother helped in any way she could. She gathered straw in the grain season and wove straw hats that she traded to other Colonists in Mexico. She knitted, crocheted, embroidered, hooked rugs, made candles, raised bees, did gardening and raised chickens. She made delicious butter and knew how to store it for use when milk and butter were scarce. She made a lovely graham bread .... the best I have ever eaten. Her motto was "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". Her life was guided by the principle. She was helpful with the sick, but she tried hard to keep us all well. She was really ahead of her time on health rules. She learned nursing from my grandmother Hawkins. I guess most of the things she knew was learned from her mother as she had no chance to go to high school or college. She read such books as the current church magazines, Book of Mormon, Bible, Doctrine Covenants, Voice of Warning, and a doctor book. She also read the American Mother's Magazine and the Deseret News. She worked faithfully in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints when she could and when health would permit. Father followed her to Mexico two or three years after she went. My brother Jesse was born in Colonia Juarez, August 29, 1890. Mother had hived two swarms of bees and done her Saturday cleaning when a cloudburst came and my brother was born about 1:30 P.M. Alice was about five years old and she did not fancy the little intruder, but later she became very devoted to him. Mother buried her next to three babies before they were two years old when Alice was accidentally shot and killed August 13, 1897. Mary, the baby just older than me died August 1898 and I was born the following March. My mother was very fond of me and many say she spoiled me, but we were constant companions until her death, when I was almost twelve years old. Elizabeth Mears Hawkins Mortensen was gray-eyed, her hair was gray and she was five feet four inches tall----weighed about 125 pounds. She was quite slender even though she had given birth to nine children. She was a good mother, faithful wife and a good neighbor. She loved the gospel with all her might. Her Patriarchal blessing said she would rise on the morning of the first resurrection and I believe she will. Had mother lived two more months, she would have been exactly 44 years old. On January 22, 1911, she was shot in the back by some banditos at Guadalupe, Mexico and was buried at Colonia Dublan. The last word she spoke in this life showed she was thinking of her children's welfare. In her short life, she had lived in two states of the United States, Utah , Arizona and Chihuahua in Mexico. Elizabeth Mears Hawkins Mortensen gave birth to nine children, buried three before they were three years old, lost one at age eleven by an accidental gun blast and the child fell dead in her lap. She hived bees, tended a drive-on scale, told the lumber freighters where to unload the lumber for my father's lumber yard, knitted socks for some wealthy Mexican officials in Casas Grandes, and when the branch was organized at Guadalupe, she became secretary, treasurer and librarian for the Relief Society. My father bought Uncle Willard's place for her and it had a lot of young fruit trees, strawberries, rose bushes, black willow pomegranates, berries and grape vines. This was her last home, close to the school and the church. She was happy there. She made our clothes and taught me how to sew my own when I was only nine years old. Jesse and my mother worked in the garden and field. Jesse went to Juarez to school in the fall of 1910. We loved Christmas time and Thanksgiving when the older children from the other family came to spend the holidays. James Madison lived in a little old house back of ours. He took care of the chickens. Mother milked our cow, churned butter, canned fruit and vegetables, made soap, and other household duties, but she always had time to go to all the church activities. She taught a Sunday School class and a Primary class. She also took time to visit the sick. She did her best to go to as many of the graves as she could on Memorial Day. She was loved and respected by everyone who knew her. She never lived in a house with indoor plumbing--no electricity, no gas. She cooked on a wood stove, bathed in a galvanized tub. The water had to be pumped from the well with a pitcher pump and heated. Saturday morning the wash boiler was put on the stove and filled with water for baths and house cleaning. Shampooing hair and rolling hair in curlers were part of Saturday's preparation for Sunday (the Sabbath). That was the time the boys' hair was cut. Anything we could do with our limited means was done to make Sunday a real day of worship and rest. In my mother's time, if you wanted bread, cake or cookies, you had to make them because there were no supermarkets to go get things. A calf was butchered when the weather was cold enough to keep it from spoiling and the neighbors helped use it up as there were no ice boxes or electric refrigerators. Chicken for Sunday was quite common as it could be cooked and used right away. My mother usually had white flour and graham flour and cornmeal. She let me take over making the yeast bread when I was nine years old. Our bread was mostly raised yeast bread but we had "Johnny cake", or corn bread and sometimes pancakes for breakfast. We usually had molasses and honey which she kept in gallon cans. If we ate molasses too often, we got canker sores in our mouths. The honey was extracted from honeycomb
