A Tribute to my Mother
Written by Mary Barnett Thorson, Feb 1963
If you have done any genealogical research, you have more than likely had reason to contact Norah Barnett with some of your problems. She is sometimes affectionately referred to as "Mrs. Genealogy Herself." She most usually has the answer to your question, and if she doesn't know, she knows where to go to find the answer. For she has made it a life time study and has many helpful books in her Library by prominent genealogists , and those of authority who do know much about research.
However, if you have tried to call her or see her at her residence at 132 North 200 East in Kaysville, you may have had to try more than once. For early most any morning her small hurrying figure can be seen headed for the bus to Salt Lake City to do research.

I was born in Kaysville, Davis Co., Utah, Sept. 28, 1893. I was the sixth child of a family of twelve children, of George Henry Draper and Eliza Alice West. The other members of the family are: Eliza Jane, born June 8, 1882; George William, born July 6, 1884, died March 1888; Charles Henry, born July 15, 1886, died March 1, 1935; Louisa May, born May 13, 1889, died October 21, 1889; Jesse Hyrum, born Dee. 24, 1890, died April 27, 1943; Jabez Miland, born Jan. 31, 1896, died July 21, 1918; Caroline Edith. born July 16, 1898; Annie Alice, born August 6, 1901; Ella May, born May 9, 1904; Thomas LeRoy, born Sept 14, 1907; Leona, born September 13, 1909.
My parents and grandparents were Pioneers. My father was born in Easterton, Wiltshire, England on March 10, 1862. My mother was born in London, Middlesex, England on April 6, 1862. They both came from England and crossed the plains with their parents when they were very small children.
