Autobiography of Martha Timothy Gardner Rudy, Part 6

Here's the very last part of Martha Timothy Gardner Rudy's history:

Without any conscious courtship, we were married in my father’s house by “Uncle” Jerry Hatch, the president of the Uintah Stake. Mr. Rudy was a consistent student of the principles of  the gospel from the time he arrived in the valley, mostly for the purpose of proving them untrue as taught be the Latter-day Saints. Up to this time, he had neither read nor heard anything but matter that was highly derogatory to the cult. He now applied himself vigorously to reading the standard church works and current writers and biographers in the hope of finding flaws or discrepancies, faithfully accepting what appealed to him as true. To help him in his researches was my brother, Alma, Who had recently returned from a two-year mission.

Having had all his fears allayed, his questions answered, and shown into the realms of the true religion, he applied for and was baptized by Alma N. Timothy on April 26, 1891. Since that time, he has been secretary of ward mutual, ward clerk, a counselor and later Stake Superintendent of Sunday Schools, Superintendent of stake religion classes, bishop, high councilor, a short-term missionary in Arizona, and today is stake clerk, stake storehouse keeper, and a stake patriarch. Today, December 13, 1950, he is a traveling patriarch and has been on a short-term mission in Pennsylvania.

Three sons and seven daughters was the issue of this marriage: Cornelia, Lloyd, Czar, Gala, Owen, Olive, Thelma and Delma (twins), Larue, and Wanda. All were born near Vernal, Utah. All are married and live either in Utah or California, one in Washington, D.C., and one is in Rhode Island. All are living but Gala Caldwell who died March 17, 1932 at LaPoint, Utah, the mother of six children.

I am a mother of seventeen children, three of whom have passed away. I had 91 grandchildren, four of whom are dead, and 30 great-grandchildren, one dead, totaling 138 descendants; five have passed away.

Together, my husband and I have endured many hardships and reverses, but have remained faithful to each other and weathered every storm and partaken freely of the good things of the earth. We are now, October 26, 1939, living simply but comfortably by the blessings of a beneficent Father in Heaven and the love and benedictions of our beloved children and friends. This includes, emphatically, the children of both families who have ever been as one.
