  Memories of Ranald Mills and Sarah Mariah Brown Woolley by Clarice May Layton Woolley LOST MONEY Visiting with Grandma Sarah one day, she told me that someone had given her a large amount of money. The house was full of people so she put the money in a safe place. When the visitors left she went to get the money and could not find it. She looked everywhere. Always full of faith, she knelt and prayed. No answer. She went to bed. When she woke up, she put her feet on the floor, walked to her sewing machine and lifted the lid. There was her money. A very private person, she never told me who gave her the money or what she was to do with it but when I told Grant this story today, he told me that Mickey (Mildred Hooper), Frank’s wife, had given her $80.00 for Christmas and told her to buy a new winter coat. BLESSING I did not know that Grandma Sarah could not read or write. She only went to school until the third grade and was often pulled out of school to help with the family boarding house. When she lived with Grant and I, part of her bedtime routine was having me read the Book of Mormon to her. Grandma Sarah loved to have me read to her. One day, I hesitated at the door way as she was saying her prayer. She asked Heavenly Father to bless me and I felt a great feeling of peace. DESIRE TO READ Joseph Woolley told me that he found his Mother practicing writing her letters. There had been a class started for immigrants and any others who wished to learn to read and write. Sarah went every day. Sadly, Grandpa Ranald Mills found out and told Sarah to stop - he would always take care of her. FORGIVENESS Grandpa Ranald Mills Woolley was a proud man. Sometimes he would be difficult and that would hurt Grandma’s feelings. He would later realize that he had been unkind but just couldn’t say he was sorry. Then he would take Grandma to the store and buy her a gorgeous new hat. Her closet was full of beautiful hats. Contributed: Clarice May Layton Woolley
