Herbert Hadley
|
Herbert Hadley was born December 1, 1897 in Roy, Utah. His early life was routine for those days, living on a ten acre farm with thirteen brothers and sisters. He grew up in a modest home which still stands and had his share of farm chores and outside work in order to provide for their family. He loved horses and as a young man had his own horse and buggy which provided transportation, fun, and normal problems for one his age. As a youth, he was known by the nickname “Red” because of the color of his hair. He worked for the Davis County Nursery of Roy helping to support himself and provide for others.
Bert, the name he went by most, attended school in Roy until work became more important for survival. On many occasions he would walk from Roy to Ogden for the evening and then walk back, arriving home in time to help with the morning milking of the cows. He married Eliza Lydian Rose of Bear River City, Box Elder County, Utah on 2 June 1920 in Salt Lake City. They were sealed eighteen years later on 20 March 1938 in the Salt Lake Temple. She was the daughter of James and Matilda Olsen Rose. Their first apartment was on 29 Street in Ogden in the 500 block. They lived in a rear apartment but later moved to the front into their first home. It was there that their two children were born: LaRue Rose (born 25 March 1921) and Ralph Herbert (born 5 July 1925). Sometime later they moved into a home on 29th Street and Porter Avenue. During his early married life, Bert worked for the Gulliam Coal and Lumber Company located at 22nd Street and Wall Avenue in Ogden. His job was delivering coal and lumber about the Ogden area, loading and unloading it by hand. In about 1930, Bert and Lydian purchased a city lot at 605 8th Street where they built their new home. They resided in this home the remainder of their married life. During the depression, Bert lost his job and was unemployed far too long. He spent time on W.P.A. (Work Project Administration), a government work project. Finally he was able to purchase a 1930 Model A, 4-door car. He would go to the paint store and buy a case of uncut window glass which he would take to the country and replace broken windows in exchange for food, chickens, pork, vegetables, etc. with some money being received. Later, with the help of friends, he became a painting and paper-hanging apprentice. He followed this work until his retirement at the age of 65. Bert’s wife, Lydia, died 15 March 1966 of cancer at their home on 8th Street. Later he married Doris Elizabeth Cargeeg Rose, (7 February 1967) who was a good friend and member of the Rose family. Her husband, Sidney Rose, was an uncle to his first wife (a brother of Lydia’s father). Many times they had visited in each other’s homes before losing their companions. Thus, they were not marrying strangers. Bert had split residency between Ogden and Centerville after his second marriage until his own death at age 80. Bert served with the United States Marine Corp during World War I. He enjoyed the out-of-doors, fishing, and hunting. He always had a good hunting dog trained for pheasant hunting and retrieving pheasants and ducks. All his life he enjoyed coming to Roy and working his father’s farm which he now owned. He raised Hereford cattle and relived his childhood memories as he worked the farm. He was a good man, one of which to be proud. He was honest and upfront with all he did. Bert was a good husband and father, and he had no enemies or any who should dislike him. During his latter years and perhaps as a young man, he was active in the L.D.S. church. He attended the temple often with his wife. He has been an Elders’ Quorum Secretary and for many years a Home Teaching Supervisor. It has been said, “There is not more dependable or more faithful than Bert Hadley.” Bert died of heart failure in the Lakeview Hospital in Bountiful, Utah on 30 September 1978. At the time of his death, he was living in Centerville, Utah and was a High Priest in the Centerville Third Ward. He is buried in the Washington Heights Memorial Park Cemetery in Ogden, Utah beside his first wife Written by Ralph H. Hadley, son
