Freeman Upson compiled by George Burton Standley
from Leslie Mikesell Wood:
[The story below was received from 93 year old May Christensen of Logan, Utah on 15 Sept. 1990, on 3 photocopied pages with black & white illustrations that she had added when she made copies for her family. The first page was not numbered at the top, but had a small photo of Sally Culver. It was not a good photocopy of Sally's photo. I would like to find a good copy of her photo. The other pages were numbered page 2 & 3 at the top right. At the bottom center were the numbers 133, 134 & 135. I do not know if the original source was from a book. L.M.W.]:
FREEMAN UPSON
Compiled by George Burton Standley Nov. 8th., 1931.
My great-aunt, Lydia Standley Burnham, daughter of Alexander Scoby Standley and Philinda Upson, wrote to me the latter part of December, 1931, as follows:
"My Grandfather, Freeman Upson, son of Joseph Upson, when a young man went to Ohio where it was yet unsettled to establish a home. The land was covered with heavy timber and it became neccessary to clear the land of the timber before he could plant his gardens, orchards and fields. He cleared enough first to make and plant a nice orchard of apple as well as other fruit trees. Later he used the apples to make barrels of cider. They would extract the juice from the sweet apples and make a syrup. using the pulp to make apple butter, for the family use.

Life Story of Alexander Scoby Standley and Philinda Upson Standley
(Compiled by George Burton Standley, November 8, 1931)
"My great-grandfather, Alexander Scoby Standley, was born in New Brunswick, Middlesex County, New Jersey, 12 May 1800, the son of Richard and Elizabeth Stuls [sic] Standley. He came to Ohio with his father's family in the year 1818. There he bought a farm covered with timber. Each year he would clear a patch and cultivate it until the farm was all in good condition. He had no opportunity to attend school, but his burning desire to learn made him use every spare moment for study. At night the firelight would serve as his light. Through his persistance, he became well enough educated to teach school and was very well liked.
My great-grandmother, Philinda Upson, was born August 1, 1814, at Randolph, Portage County, Ohio, the daughter of Freeman Upson and Sally (or Sarah) Culver.

Alexander Scoby Standley brings the dairy industry to Utah
Our Pioneer Heritage Volume 9 Pioneer Cattle
The Deseret Livestock Company Emigrant's Guide
Although most of the families of the South Bountiful district made butter and cheese for their own use, they often bartered some for household necessities. The arrival of the Alexander S. Standley family in 1853 probably marked the beginning commercially of the dairy industry in the district. An island in the bend of the Jordan River furnished excellent pasturage for their twenty-five milk cows. Later, the lake water covered the pasture and the family abandoned their holdings. As the community herds increased, many families made weekly trips to Salt Lake City where they furnished regular customers with these products, and milk routes were established.

Early Recollections Of My Parents And Their Teachings
By Elizabeth Standley Osborn Osborn Benson [She was married to Osborn brothers.]
"My father, Alexander Scoby Standley, was born May 12, 1800, in the State of New Jersey. His early days were spent fishing near the mouth of rivers that emptied into the sea. At the age of seventeen, he moved to Ohio, then a new unsettled country. On the 19th of March, 1829, he married Philinda Upson. He was a hard working, saving man, she an economizing, hard working woman. They soon gathered around them the comforts of home. He was a staunch, political man, but disgusted with the religions of the day. He said they did not agree with the teachings of Jesus as recorded in the Holy Bible, which he had been taught by his loving mother to believe. Mother tried to get religion, but none of the churches suited her until Elder James Emmett came teaching the doctrine of the Latter Day Saints.

Philinda Upson Standley from May Christensen
Received from May Christensen, age 93, on 15 Sep. 1990, contained in pages compiled by George Burton Standley, Nov 8, 1931:
Excerpts of a letter written to me in December, 1931 by great-aunt Lydia Standley Burnham, the daughter of Alexander Scoby Standley and Philinda Upson:
After leaving Nauvoo, my parents went to Punca (Indian Nation) Nebraska where I was born Dec 13, 1846. The cream of the male population were called to make up the Mormon Battallion, otherwise my parents along with others would have journeyed westward, but being instructed to make themselves as comfortable as possible for the winter, they constructed houses or dugouts to dwell in. A house was provided for my mother prior to my birth December 13. She did not recover from confinement as she should have done, having had serious trouble with one of her legs, varicose veins or milk-leg, so called in all probability. Friends used to sympathize with my older sister, Ellen, for they predicted that mother would never walk again. When warm weather came, having been laid up since December, she was carried to a nearby river, called the Running Water, and baptized for her health. She walked out of the water herself. She lived many years, after that, spun hundreds of skeins of yarn, and was a hard working woman.

Alexander Scoby Standley by Michael Standley
"Our Pioneer Heritage" Vol. 10, Eleven Autobiographies, pages 113-124
Michael Standley Tells His Story
My father, Alexander Scobie Standley, was born May 12, 1800, at New Brunswick, New Jersey. He was put out to work as soon as he was old enough to earn his clothes; therefore, he never had a day's schooling in his life. When he was eighteen he went with his father to Portage County, Ohio. He obtained a book called The Young Man's Companion which contained the rules for reading, writing, arithmetic and grammar. With the aid of this book he educated himself sufficient that he was chosen to teach the district school. He obtained a small piece of land and in the summer spent his time clearing and fencing it. In the winter he taught school. He was also elected Justice of the Peace of that precinct.

Excerpt from the Journal of Alexander Scoby Standley
from Leslie Mikesell Wood:
I have not found any more parts of Alexander's journal, if there are any. I have in my possession two typed versions of the following journal, having minor differences. Both received from May Christensen, age 93, on 15 Sep. 1990. Contained in pages compiled by George Burton Standley, Nov 8, 1931. One titled "Exercise by O.D. Merrill From Alexander Scoby Standley Journal" I have only made a few typing and spelling corrections [hopefully I made no typo's]. Not having seen the original, I do not know if he wrote his name as Standley or Stanley in his Journal or if any mistakes in spelling were made by Alexander or the transcriber or typist. Alexander was a teacher so I think he would not have made many spelling or punctuation mistakes. I would like to see a photocopy of the original handwritten journal. LMW]

The conversion of Frances Farr Mills
(The following is taken from the history of Louisa Harriet Mills Palmer) It was while at "Winchester Hampshire, England Salt Lake City and William Wilde of Coalville , Utah
Until this time my mother had belonged to the Baptist and Methodist churches, but did not seem satisfied with either. The gospel came to them in a very peculiar way. I was a baby of eleven months and was so ill the Doctor had given up all hopes of my recovery. The minister passed judgment upon me and said that I would be dead by morning. My mother was watching over her dying baby, waiting for the Doctor and minister to return, when someone knocked upon the door. Upon answering the door she found two home missionaries who were strangers to her.
