Notes |
- Rachel Hadden Applegate
March 12, 1848 - August 24, 1938
Rachel Hadden was born the 12th of March 1848 in Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie Co. Iowa, USA. She is the daughter of Alfred Sidney Hadden and Sarah Ann Carter. Rachel was the oldest child in a family of five brothers and five girls. Her mother, Sarah Ann Carter married in polygamy and was the third wife. Sidney was also married to her sister Mary Caroline Carter. The Carter sisters parents and family emigrated along with the Haddens, to Utah sometime between 1850 and 1852.
Rachel lived the usual pioneer life, learning at an early age how to wash, card and spin wool and then dry it. She knitted stockings and sewed all her clothes by hand as sewing machines were very scarce. She was an excellent quilter and made many quilts. When she was in her middle seventies, she made 13 quilts for one woman in Parowan. She was an industrious woman, making soap, drying peaches, apples, apricots and plums. Many times she would go to the mountains and gather wild berries and fruits. She set hens and hatched out chickens, scrubbed the family wash on the board, an as a girl cooked over a fireplace.
The Hadden family settled first in Panguitch and because of Indian depredations, were forced to flee. Th Indians burned their crops. About all they had to eat the following winter was frozen potatoes which the men went back to dig. The Hadden family then settled for a while in Parowan. There Rachel met and married James Applegate. They became the parents of eitht children, six girls and two boys. Later they moved and did some homesteading in Circleville. After 48 years of marriage, Rachel was left a widow. She made her home with her different children until she lost her eyesight when she was 77 years of age. She never liked to be idle and a still knitted several stoles and some stockings after she was blind. She passed away in Circleville on August 24, 1938 at the ripe old age of 90 years and 5 months. She is buried beside her husband in Circleville cementery.
