Notater:

ROLLA CONSTANTINE HIX, son of Ernest Simeon and Emma Idell (Innes) HIX, born 7 Apr 1877 in Harrisville, Weber, Utah; died 4 Nov 1934 in Idaho Falls, Bonneville, Idaho; buried in Central Cemetery, Grant, Jefferson, Idaho.
Rolla married 17 Dec 1902 in Logan, Cache, Utah, Eda Ellen Webster; born 14 Sep 1882 in Harrisville, Weber, Utah; died 14 Jun 1925 in Idaho Falls, Bonneville, Idaho. Daughter of John and Lydia Almeda (Taylor) Webster.
His father was born in California and came to Utah when he was about twelve years old. His mother, Emma, came from Pennsylvania, across the plains to Utah with her parents and grandfather Innes.
About 1885, Rolla’s family moved to High Bridge, near Spencer, Idaho where Ernest worked for the railroad, helping to lay the tracks up Beaver Canyon. From High Bridge, they moved back to Harrisville, where Rolla was baptized 20 May 1886 by A. M. Rawson and confirmed a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints the same day by Joseph Taylor.
The family moved for a short time to Mountain Home, Idaho and in 1889, moved to the Bear Lake area in Idaho. In 1895, Rolla’s family moved to Lewisville, Idaho and in the fall of that year they moved to Grant, Idaho and bought a 40 acre farm with a log house on it. Rolla’s schooling consisted of grade school only and that was hit and miss because they were moving around quite a bit.
Rolla’s father was the best violin player in the valley and lots of times made up his own tunes. They had a family orchestra and played around to all the area dances. Rolla played the bass viola, his brother Ernest played the 2nd fiddle and his sister Lottie played the organ. Their father was the leader and played the violin. They received $2.50 per night each and played for benefits and kid’s functions free.
We assume Rolla and Eda had a normal courtship as they were both living at Grant at the time. Rolla was ordained an Elder in December 1902 by John Webster. Rolla was 25 and Eda was 20, when they were married 17 Dec 1902 in the LDS Temple at Logan, Cache, Utah. Their life together began on a 33 acre farm in a two-room frame house at Grant, Idaho.
A few short years after their marriage, Rolla suffered a slight heart attack and stroke. He was partially handicapped on his right side following this illness. He wasn’t able to write very well after that and seldom did more than sign his name. He also suffered from rheumatism off and on all his life. He still maintained his farm and expanded his acreage a little.
During these times of rearing their family, they got a chance to homestead 160 acres of ground at Mud Lake, Idaho. During the summer Eda would take the family and the cows and live in a one room log shack there and Rolla remained in Grant to do the farming. Six months of each year had to be spent on the Mud Lake property for three years to prove ownership of the property.
These trips each summer were real trials to the family as the cattle had to be driven out and back each summer and the household goods were transported with a horse and buggy or wagons. Since it was forty miles away, it would take two days; they would have to stop and camp overnight then continue on the next day. After proving ownership on this land, it was found that there was not enough water available to raise crops so nothing more was done with it.
So, the family made a living as best they could on their small acreage. They raised about 12-15 acres of sugar beets each year. It was really hard work, but they tried to make about $1,000 off the beets each year. This was the sole income from the farm, but that was a lot more than many other people had. They also raised a little hay and had a few cows for milk and a few acres of pasture. Sometimes they were able to sell some milk to the Challenge Creamery and raise a little cash that way. Otherwise, they traded cream, butter, and eggs for groceries to try and get by.
They always had a garden and some pigs and chickens. They didn’t have to worry about going hungry even though they never had any money. Eda took care of the chickens and raised the garden. There was no electricity to be had at the time, so they washed by hand with a washboard and puncher and drew the water out of the well with a hand pump.
Rolla was not too much church-minded, but he was very honest and fair in his dealings and could always see his neighbor’s needs and help them. Rolla paid his obligations to the Church and each winter would take a load of wheat to the Ucon Mill and exchange for food for the family; flour, germade and things they needed to store and get ready for the severe winters. Rolla would smoke his own pork and also pack hams in a salt brine. Each year he went to the cedars to get fuel for the winter. They had to go southwest of Idaho Falls in the bitter cold and snow.
During Eda’s life she hadn’t always enjoyed good health. Just five weeks after she moved to the larger house she died 14 Jun 1925, following surgery to remove her gall bladder.
After Eda’s death the family moved back to their old home and the two rooms. In the meantime, electricity came and Rolla purchased an electric washer, about the first one in the valley. This made things a little easier for the motherless family. Rolla spent many lonely hours after the passing of his wife. For a few years before his death he attended parties at Lewisville that were being held for widows and widowers.
Rolla passed away 4 Nov 1934.
