ELIZA WEBSTER FLINT
By Sylvia Flint Adams
Born 23, October 1874 in Kaysville, Utah, daughter of Levi and Agnes Higgs Webster.
Attended school in West Kaysville, and worked horses in the fields helping with the crops, and helping her mother in the home.
When she became a young girl she worked for Mrs. Hyrum Adams for many years doing house work, cooking, cleaning, washing and ironing.
On June 10, 1895 she married Fred Flint in Kaysville, Utah. Later their marriage was solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple. There was eleven children born to them.
She was left nearly all summer to take care of the children, milk cows, feed chickens and pigs, churn butter, wash, and iron and care for all other things that were necessary. One night during the summer she could hear someone out to the granary. She was frightened. But got out of bed to go see who it was. There were two men loading wheat into their wagon, when she approached the men ran and left the wagon and team there. Of course, it was neighbors who knew her husband was away, and were going to help themselves to get a load of wheat.
Another night in the wee hours she heard someone walking outside the bedroom window. Then they began to pull the quilt from the bed. She thought her husband had come home, and she called to him and said, "Fred, quit that!" Then she could hear them run. She was so frightened the rest of the night. Many other experiences she went through somewhat the same.
They owned a big bunch of pigs. One night in the middle of the night, she could hear some of the pigs squealing. She thought someone was stealing them. She got one of the children out of bed to go with her. When they got to the scene, they found someone had turned the drinking water from the pigs, and most of them died from thirst.
She was a very hard worker and had little. She died with pneumonia in Idaho Falls while she was there the day after her son-in-laws funeral.
