John Devonald Morris and his father, John, planted the first half bushel of weat in Rockland, Idaho.

John was a very dominant personality and when he ask for silent none of the children would dared whisper.

There was a big celebration in Rockland. I'm not sure what it was for, but the church was full of people. The closing number on the program was "POETRY" by John Morris. It was common thing in Rockland because he was such a creative entertainer. He took his place at the center stage, and the conregation called out the subjects. Usually it would be a name, and if so he would create a verse spontaneously, then another, and another. Sometimes places would be called out, or things. fruits or flowers etc. He would hold an audience's attention in pleasure, and happiness for many hours. And this he did on January 27 1905 when he was 82 years old. That night he passed away.

History of John Newland and Phoebe Devonald.

John Newland MORRIS and Pheobe DEVONALD (OR DEVINOLD) were converted to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Wales. He could quote passages from the bible by the hundreds (This information is from a grandson Ed MORRIS). Mary Hannah MORRIS gives some information after returning from a trip to Wales.

John Newland MORRIS was born on February 16, 1823 in Llandysul, Cardiganshire, South Wales. He was Christened on the 23 March 1823. His wife, Phoebe (Phebe) DEVONALD, was born November 10, 1830 in Solva, Whitchurch, Pembroke, South Wales. They were married December 9, 1853 at Saron Chapel, Letterson, Pembrokeshire (Dist. Haverfordwest). On April 17, 1855 John and Phoebe's first child was born, a baby girl, Isabella Newland MORRIS. They then sailed from Wales to America. They crossed the plains in 1855 leaving from Philadelpha PA.

This little family settled in Brigham City, Utah. Ten more children were born while there, and three passed away in infancy. John Newland MORRIS was a shoe and bootmaker. He made boots for Brigham YOUNG who ordered them a dozen at a time. About 1881 the family moved to Rockland, Onieda County, Idaho.

In their later years, Pheobe was almost helpless. She suffered from "Dropsy", and was terribly bloated from the water in her tissues. John had a big chair for Phoebe, and they lifted her from bed to the chair. She passed away at the Robinsons (friends of the family). The funeral was held outside in their yard. The funeral was by a friend of family
and their bishop Issac Thorne, Sr.

Ed MORRIS, a grandson (his father was Samual Newland MORRIS), referred to the hardships of pioneers, "Like most pioneers, they suffered from hunger, existing one winter almost entirely on squash." Melvin MORRIS (grandson, father John Devonald MORRIS) tells of a story that John Devonald and John Newland MORRIS "planted the first half
bushel of wheat in this valley (I think their talking about Rockland)".

Esther MORRIS (grandchild, father Henry Devonald MORRIS). Her father said of John Newland MORRIS, (that he) was a very dominant personality, and brooked no back-talk or foolishness from the children. When he said "silence" none dared whisper. However, when he tried to insist my dad learn shoemaking, he failed because dad purposely drove the nails in crooked, etc.

(The) Last thing told of John Newland MORRIS was on Janurary 27, 1905 in Rockland, Oneida, Idaho by Mary Hannah Alvaretta Johnson (mother was Mary Hannah Morris JOHNSON). Mother did not know the occasion but it was at the church which was full of people. The closing number on the program was "Poetry" by John Newland MORRIS. Mary's mother said that it was a common thing in Rockland to have John do his poetry, he was such a creative entertainer. He took his place at the center stage, and the congregation called out the subjects. Usually it would be a name.
and if so, he would create a "verse" spontaneously, then another, and another. Sometimes places would be called out, or things - fruits or flowers, etc. He could hold an audience's attention in pleasure, and happiness for many hours. And this he did on January 7, 1905 when he was 82 years old. His mind was sharp, and full of wit and wisdom. That night he passed away.

Victoria MORRIS Houtz, fondly known as Aunt Vick, was born in Brigham City, Utah 20 July 1866. She was one of God's choice spirits on the earth. Everyone else's comfort and happiness was her first concern. Aunt Vick's sister, Mary Hannah MORRIS Johnson, died in 1887 leaving a three year old daughter, Phoebe Alveretta JOHNSON. Aunt Vick took the baby girl into her home and brought her up as her own daughter. This girl grew up and married William Bennett JACOBS and lived in American Falls, Idaho, just 4 hours from Rockland in summer, by way of horse and buggy.

The very fortunate Jacobs children had the privilege of becoming well acquainted with Aunt Vick. She taught the kindergarten class of Sunday School in Rockland for so many years that she soon was teaching the children of her first
students. Then she taught their children. The high-light of my life was to go to Rockland to stay with Aunt Vick.
She was so kind and sweet, and loving that I was never homesick.

My first visit with Aunt Vick was when I was three years of age. Every morning she would cook little pancakes for me. They were about the size of silver dollars, but they were much more delicious than Uncle Henry size pancakes.
Aunt Vick was always always sweet and dainty and feminine. She looked like a little picture as she walked up the dirt path beside the irrigation ditch to Sunday School. She was all smiles and happiness as she greeted
little children and their parents.

Her Sunday School class was a model for all Christianity. The little doll girls tried in vain to be as beautiful as Aunt Vick. The 3 and 4 and 5 year old boys were perfect gentlemen. All class members sat spell-bound as Aunt Vick carried them away into Old Testament Land, and led them to experiences with their Savior.

Aunt Vick was an accomplished cook, a meticulous housekeeper, and a charming hostess. She was never happier than when she was preparing a party or wrapping a gift for someone else. Aunt Vick was all the beautiful things that the Good Book taught. I am sure that now she must be planning a party and cooking dollar sized pancakes for some lucky little angels in heaven.

Tribute by Bennett h JACOBS, Nephew of Aunt Vick.
