ANN ELIZA SAVAGE TEEPLES By Belle Gjettrup

Ann Eliza Savage Teeples, daughter of David Leonard Savage and Mary Abigail White, was born Decmeber 17, 1855. Her father and mother had been called to go to Cedar City and help settle that place. While they lived there her father was called to bring his wagons and teams and go help bring in the Willie Handcart Company, which he did. He got back to Cedar City on December 14th, and on the 17th of December 1855, Ann Eliza Teeples was born. The snow was very deep that winter and it was very cold. She was the seventh child. The next summer her parents moved to Cedar Springs, later called, Holden, a new settlement in Millard County. There were but ten families there and they built a fort to protect themselves from the Indians.

In 1863 her father was called with Apostle Charles C. Rich to go to Bear Lake to help settle that cold country. They stayed there three years and put up with lots of hardships. They moved to Holden again and were living there in 1874. When Ann Eliza married Henry A. Teeples. They went to Salt Lake City and were married in the Endowment House. She married in polygamy. Her husband had another wife and three little boys.

In three years she had a baby boy. They named him David John after after her father. In two years she had a baby girl named Mary Maranda after her mother and sister. The third birth was a pair of twin boys. One of them (Hyrum) lived only a month. They were Joseph and Hyrum.

They owned a nice big lot in Holden right across the street from Uncle Sid Teeples. They raised lots of fruit, apples, peaches, pears and all other fruit. They also raised sugar cane and made molasses in Holden.

The fifth child was a girl named Lucy Bellzora. Ann Eliza was active in doing church work, and she was always ambitious and worked hard all her life. In the spring after her sixth child, Eva Amanda, was born they moved to Sigurd on the Sevier River.

At the time the United States government was making lots of trouble for the polygamist families. They had a law that a man couldn't live with anyone but his first wife. Henry went over the mountain into Grass Valley and he bought a large ranch to raise cattle. He had some meadow land, alfafa and ground for grain and lots of feed for cattle.

The first house Ann Eliza lived in at Burrville was a large log house with a dirt roof. When it rained the water would leak through about the same as if there was no roof. She would make a bed for the kids under the table that had two leaves to raise up to keep the water from getting on us. It had a large fireplace in one end which served to do all the cooking. The next year Henry put a shingle roof on and built a lean-to on the large room, and she would whitewash the log rooms.

In 1888 she was going to have another baby. The U.S. officers were hanging around all the time to catch Henry at our house. In April he took Ann Eliza over to Fillmore, Millard County, to his sister, Eunice Turner. It was very stormy and cold. They only had a small house and she had all five of us children.

On the 17th of April she had another baby girl whom she called Barbara Ellen. After she was born she got very sick with neuranogy in her face and suffered a lot. One afternoon as she lay there alone and in a lot of pain, a small woman came in through the door, came up to her bed and said, "I see you are sick", and asked what was the matter. Then she told Ann Eliza what she needed to do to cure her. She told her to take the white of an egg and beat until stiff, then put enough black pepper in to make a poultice and put it in between a thin cloth and put it on her face. She talked a little while, then went out the door.

SHELLEY, Idaho—Mrs. Annie Teeples, 81, resident of Idaho since 1901, died Wednesday night at the home of her daughter, Mra. John E. Radford of Labelle after a long illness.
