I was born in a little two room log house on the Shelton Cemetery road on October 5, 1891, the second child of Francis Daniel and Priscilla Jane Morgan Ryset. Mother told me of how every morning Aunt Ellen Lovell would walk down from her home in Ririe, nearly 3 miles away, on a trail along the canal bank to bath me and take care of her. We lived near mother's sister, Annie and her husband Willard Moore and their family and ours had lots of good times together. My brothers, Clarence and Frank, and sister Zella were born there also. Then we moved to LaBelle for a short time and then back to Shelton where we all grew up. I liked to work in the fields with Dad and the boys more than housework. However Mother saw to it that all of us girls learned how to cook and sew. My education was quite limited as there was always a new baby to help with and I worked for Aunt May and helped her when all her children were born. Always our home was filled with company and it was nothing for Nora and I to cook for 25 or 30 people on Sunday night. Company was always welcome in our home and Dad and Mother always had room for one more. I used to help Dad with a colony of honey bees and many a sting we put up with. We had good times at dances at Shelton and Ririe and I played basketball with a group of girls in the Shelton Ward. We were pretty good players and won several games from other wards. When I was 21 I took up a homestead on a farm at Tex Creek. We spent three summers up there. The road was so long in a wagon the younger girls got so tired. Lots of the time I was there with Clarence and Dick. I loved, and still do, the hills. Nothing is more peaceful. This remind me of a poem. I STOOD ON A HILLTOP
There was always lots of people dropping in even on the dryfarm. Young people always filled our home. On December 13, 1916 I married John Moore, whom I had known nearly all my life, in the Salt Lake City L. D. S. Temple. We bought a farm in Shelton and there our five children, Leora, Clarence, Leah, John Clinton, and Madge were born to us. We had good times and enjoyed the family and their friends in our home. John's health was never too good and he passed away January 14, 1935. The children were quite young but with hard work and the Lord's help we managed alright. I remember one winter shortly after John's death, we didn't have any wood for fuel and no money and didn't know what we would do, when one night there pulled a big truck in the yard and it was Ralph Simmons with a big load of sawed quacken asp, which lasted for nearly a year. The years sped on, then the War came and both the boys had to go. I sold the farm and moved to my present home at 626 North Water. I thank the Lord for my health and my 24 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.

In the picture above is John Moore and three of his brothers. John Moore married Violet Viola Ryset. Life sketch for John Moore Written by Leah V. Moore Schofield July, 1981 Dad was born March 17, 1886 at Clinton, Utah. He was the third son of John T. and Annie Andersen Moore. He was christened on July 1, 1886 at Spanish Fork, Utah by George O. Smith. He received his education in Spanish Fork and Clinton, Utah. When he was eleven years old the family moved to Idaho (1897). Here he completed his education. The family settled in on a farm in Shelton, Idaho, where the boys all helped on the farm. Dad was a cowboy. He loved his horses and cattle. He had a dry farm on Willow Creek and worked for the Cattlemen's Assn. herding cattle. Their headquarters was the Cow Camp on Tex Creek. The Rysets had a dry farm close by and it was here he courted and fell in love with Mom. (Violet Viola Ryset) They were married in the Salt Lake Temple on December 13, 1916. They settled in Shelton on a forty acre farm where all five of their children were born. He was Elder in the Church, a ward teacher, and gave many recitations at ward gatherings. He served on the Shelton school board for a number of years and he and Mom worked in the P.T.A. Dad was a kind hearted, loving father. He was good natured, even though he had stomach ulcers and was often very sick, he still had time to romp and play with us kids. He always had mints and salted peanuts in his pockets for goodies for us. I remember him singing a lot-little funny ditties; such as on the first day of September, it was always: "September morning, Where are your clothes? September morning, Nobody knows" or to take Mom or one of us girls in his arms and sing: "Whose baby girl are you? Who loves you fond and true?" and always he was singing Western Ballads. Dad was a whistler. We could always tell he was coming home, whether it was from irrigating the crops or walking home from someplace, by hearing him whistle, we knew he was near. I can never remember Dad being cruel or mean to anyone. I know there was times when we kids really tried his patience. He always saw to it that we attended church and church activities, dances, shows, Christmas programs, Fourth of July celebrations and such. The Christmas programs I remember going in the sleigh with straw in the bottom and lots of quilts and hot rocks to keep us warm and Dad standing driving the team and beating his hands to his sides to keep warm. Dad loved to dance and he was a good dancer. I remember he and Mom won a Waltz contest. Times were hard, Dad took his team and wagon and worked for the W.P.A. to help supplement the family income. I remember how he used to fix our shoes replacing worn out soles and heels. He also cut our hair. I remember Mom's hair was really long and she wore it in braids with a bun in the back. She had terrific headaches and decided to have Dad cut it to relieve them. I remember how we all stood around watching. How we all, including Dad and Mom, cried to see her beautiful hair cut off. Dad had ulcers and I remember how sick he was and how we all worked hard together on the farm. Mother always worked by his side all the time. Dad had been really ill and entered the Idaho Falls Hospital the first part of January and passed away January 14, 1935. He was 48 years old but sometimes it doesn't take years to live a full life. I could go on and on about my Dad. My mind is full of good and beautiful memories of him and I still get a lump in my throat just thinking.
