Bio

Daughter of Austin Ship Mayhew and Martha Jane Walker Wife of Myron Eliphus Lance, married 6 Dec 1900 in Giles, Wayne, Utah History. Caroline was raised to womanhood in Giles, Utah, where the family moved when she was a small child. December 6, 1900, she married Myron Eliphus Lance and to this union were born 14 children, including two sets of twins. She moved about 1910 with her husband and children to Duchesne County, where they were among the first settlers of that country. There they endured many hardships, as did everybody at that time while getting their farms under cultivation. She just lived at Midview. Later at Duchesne they also owned a farm at Antelope, which her husband farmed until his death in 1930. After the passing, she tried to farm alone with her large family of children but soon had to give it up as it was too hard for her. She moved to Twin Falls, Idaho in the year of 1933, where she lived until her passing away on Nov. 17, 1935. She will long be remembered for her readings of poetry, which she dearly loved. She was hardly ever in a group that she was not asked to give a reading to entertain them. She was also a good seamstress and made all her children's clothes including her boys' shirts and overalls. She now has 38 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren and 9 living children. By Ilda Mae Lance Shirts, daughter
