  This is a brief sketch of the life of Elma Barney Cloward. More stories and photos are found in the memories section. Elma was the fourth child of James Henry and Effie Malinda Nebeker Barney. She was born June 14, 1913 in Annabella, Sevier County, Utah. She had two older brothers, Von and Dewite, an older sister Lora, and five younger sisters: Hazel, Reva, Vivin, Edith, and Martha Barney. Elma grew up in Annabella, but lived in Sutherland for a few months as a child when her father taught school there. He left teaching and became a farmer. Elma attended elementary school in Annabella. Von wrote: “Elma was the odd one of the family. She was mostly Nebeker and the rest of us were Barneys. She talked younger and better than any of us did. She sounded like an adult when Mother still carried her in her arms. She was bossy and acted like a Nebeker, too.” Elma’s parents were faithful members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church on August 6, 1921 at age eight. The Barney family raised a big garden and fields of sugar beets each summer. Elma worked with them thinning, hoeing, and topping sugar beets. After doing their own fields, they worked in other people’s beets in Annabella, Monroe, Central, and Venice. Hazel wrote that during hay time, “Elma and I helped after the boys grew up and left home. Elma would help pitch and stack the hay and I would tromp it and drive the derrick horses. . . .” The Barney family had good times in the evenings when their father would sit in a rocking chair with a child on his lap, others sitting on the arms of his chair, the rest sitting around the room. He played the harmonica while the children sang or sang with them. Their mother did not sing much as she didn’t think she could. Elma graduated from Richfield Senior Seminary on May 11, 1930. The Richfield Reaper mentions Elma’s name several times during the next few years. In 1931, she attended parties and gave a talk in the Conjoint program given by the M Men and Gleaner girls. In April, the Monroe High School Pepettes Club was entertained at Annabella by Elma and two other girls. An article announced the graduates of the three high schools in Sevier valley in 1931 and Elma’s name was on the Monroe list. In 1932, she gave another talk, spent a few weeks in Moroni with friends, stayed with the Simonsen family in Salt Lake City for a few weeks. The county auditor’s report for 1932 gave salaries of the county treasurer’s office and listed Elma Barney $15.00. The county assessor’s office showed her father, James Barney $37.00. What they did to earn this money was not mentioned, but these were Depression years and jobs were hard to find. In 1933 and 1934, the Reaper said Elma spent some months in Salt Lake City. In December, 1934, she returned from a week in Delta and her parents entertained relatives at a turkey dinner. Shortly after this, in January, 1935, Elma’s father became very ill. He was taken to Salt Lake City where he had surgery for a brain tumor, but doctors could not help him. He died at home in Annabella on April 12, 1935. Elma was 21 years old at the time. In the fall, she went to Delta to work and in 1936, she worked in Richfield. In December, 1936, she spent a few days with friends at Payson. When she met Rex Cloward is not known, but the Reaper reported in January, 1937, that he spent “the last of the week” as a guest of Elma in Annabella. The January 21, 1937, issue showed their names under marriage licenses issued. Elma and Rex Coray Cloward were married in Richfield, Utah, on January 15, 1937. Rex was born in Payson, Utah, on October 17, 1914. He was the second child born to Charles Edgar Cloward, Jr. and Eppie Lydia Coray Cloward. A wedding reception took place in the Annabella Amusement Hall to honor Elma and Rex after their marriage. The Payson news in the Provo Evening Herald of February 3, 1937, said, “Mrs. C. E. Cloward, Jr. entertained at a bridal shower Saturday night at the Strawberry Hotel in honor of Mrs. Rex Cloward, formerly Miss Elma Barney of Annabella, Utah. Her marriage to Rex Cloward, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Cloward, Jr. took place recently at Richfield. Guests at the shower included 25 close relatives and friends of the family. Luncheon was served at small tables after which progressive table games were played. Prizes were awarded to Mrs. Laban Harding and Mrs. Gould Dixon. The bride was presented many lovely and useful gifts.” Elma and Rex made their home in Payson, Utah. They became the parents of a son, Robert (Bob) in about 1938, a son, Chad B., in 1942, and a daughter, Carol Jean, born in 1947, in Payson. Elma worked as a licensed practical nurse at the Utah State Hospital in Provo for more than 18 years. Rex worked for U.S. Steel Corporation at Geneva Works until retirement. At Elma’s funeral, a friend gave a tribute to her which included these thoughts: “. . . Elma . . . was my friend from the time we moved down by Clowards all through these 38 years. I always knew that she was glad to see or hear from me, as I was her. Once you had Elma for a friend, it was for always. . . “When our boys who were in Junior High would go to play basketball at the third ward church, and Roy and Rex were working the swing shifts, Elma and I would get together and really enjoy an hour or two visiting. But she would say, ‘Come on down to my place as Carol Jean needs to go to bed on time and I won’t leave her alone.’ She was a very loving, caring mother. Her children’s needs were upmost always. Whatever she could do to help them then, and on through the years, was her desire. As the grandchildren have come along, they, too, have been her joy. . . ‘At Christmas time when the granddaughters were little, how thrilled she was for me to come down after work at Wilson’s to see the beautiful dolls she had got for them. She didn’t think much about things she wanted, but only about what she could give to others. One thing, no, two things I remember her wanting, and how pleased and happy she was when Rex had worked hard to finish them. One was when her kitchen was extended a few feet. . . The other was when she wanted the front room larger, so Rex took out the wall of the front bedroom and made a long lovely living room. . . “You never met Elma that she didn’t give you a compliment. She always saw something that was nice and told you so. Del Rae says she always felt better after seeing Elma because she made you feel good about yourself. I have never heard her ever say a malicious thing about anyone in all these years. “Many times in our phone conversations she has expressed how good Rex has been to her and how when Rex needed surgery that she wished she could take care of him as he did her. She was so grateful for your love and kindness, Rex, and how she appreciated the granddaughter coming over to stay with her while Rex was in the hospital and Chad has been able to help out a while. She would tell me of her family and how much love they had for each other. She spoke a lot about Hazel and the fun things they used to do. And she spoke so fondly of her mother. She truly loved you, every one.” Elma died August 23, 1990, at Mountain View Hospital in Payson after a long illness. She was 77 years old. She was buried August 27, 1990, in Payson. She was the second of the Barney children to die. Her brother Dewite died in 1982 and the others survived her. Rex lived nine more years. He died May 9, 1999, in Payson and was buried May 16, 1999, in the Payson cemetery.
