History of Samuel and Thisbe Hanks Allen Written by their daughter, Amy Allen White Thisbe Hanks Allen was born 28 March 1872 at Salt Lake City, the daughter of Ephraim K and Thisbe Q Read Hanks. She was the 5 child of 12 children. When 4 years old the family moved to Parleys Park, later called Park City. They lived there until about the year 1879. They were called by Brigham Young to go south to Sevier County to help that part of the country. They lived at Burrville. The year of 1882 the family moved to Pleasant Creek, later called Floral Ranch. There Thisbe met Samuel A Allen, whom she later married. Samuel had come from Escalante, Garfield County, and bought a farm on Carcus Creek. Now called Grover. Dan Allen, his brother and William Spencer, a brother-in-law, also bought farms there. It was first owned by Eck Keel and Will Bullard. The Allen brothers and Will Spencer bought Keel and Bullard out for $500. This amount was paid in horses and mules. Here Samuel built a three room house. This was the year of 1884 Samuel and Thisbe were married October 27, 1892 in the Manti temple, and came to Grover to live. When their third child was born Sam was called to fill a mission in the Southern States. He left for his mission October 2, 1896. Thisbe had 3 babies. Mattie was 3 years old October 8, Amy was 20 months old and Hazel was 3 months old. Thisbe kept the post office, and boarded the school teacher. She rented the farm and in this way she was able to keep Sam on his mission and support her family. She never received any help from anyone except, $5.00 George Brinkerhoff gave her. And Sam’s mother gave him $5.00. Sam was gone 2 years returning 2 October 1898. The first boy, Samuel Fahy was born June 24, 1899. In February 1900 Sam traded his place at Grover to Deseret Hickman for a farm and orchard at Cainville. This was the place where Thisbe’s people were living. Her brother Walter E. Hanks was the Bishop of the ward. And her mother lived just 1 block away. Their second son Ruban, was born here on March 3, 1902. On July 23, 1903 Thisbe’s mother passed away. On February 23, 1904 Ethan Arthur (Pete) was born. Thisbe took over the post office, soon after moving to Caineville. This helped to keep their fast growing family. There wasn’t much sale for fresh fruit at that time, so it was dried and sold. This made lots of hard work, especially for the women folks. After the death of Thisbe’s mother the family became discontented so Sam was on the trade again. He traded one place he had to Dan Cook. And the other place he traded to Alford Ostberg for a ranch 2 1/2 miles from Teasdale. In the Spring of 1906 Sam went up to this ranch to plant the crops. He took Mattie to cook for him and Sammy to help him. On May 25, 1906 Walter E. (Ted) was born. Thisbe lived at Caineville until her baby was 2 months old, then she moved to the ranch. This proved to be a bad move as they were quite a distance from town and it was hard for Thisbe to go with so many small children. Sam was put in the bishopric being the first counselor to Bishop William Heaps. The children had to walk or ride horses to school. The snow got quite deep during the winter. On April 17, 1908, Paul K the 5 son was born. Thisbe’s health was poor so Sam was trying to get a place in town where he could move her and the children. In the fall of 1909 he made a trade with Jode Allen for a place in Lyman (the Jash Cook Place). The family moved here in September. Sam gathered his crop and moved the cattle and live stock. That winter was a bad one. Mattie had typhoid fever and almost died. Thisbe was in poor health. On April 5, 1910 her 6 boy Ephraim Hanks (Rex) was born. Lloyd Raymond was born two years later March 3, 1912. June 19, 1912 Thisbe was asked to be President of the Relief Society for the Lyman Ward. This office she held until her death on April 3, 1924. Thisbe’s 11th child was born January 16, 1914. She was called Ruth. The first girl after 7 boys. An incident which happened while Sam was living on the ranch between Torry and Teasdale. He and Sammy, Jr. were living there alone before the family moved from Cainville. The rats were so bad in the house. So Sam undertook to poison them. He strychnined some bread and put it on the loft of the house. During the night a rat dragged the bread down and dropped it in a pan of milk. Next morning Sam, thinking perhaps Sammy had done it, removed the bread which was covered with cream and ate it. He went out and started his chores and became very sick. He then thought of the bread he had poisoned, went back to look for it and found it gone. Then he knew he had been poisoned. It was only through his faith and prayers that his life was saved. Another time after this he was dressing one morning and just moved his pillow, and there was a large rattle snake curled under it. He finished dressing and got the shovel and carried the snake still curled up over across the river and turned it loose, saying it did not harm me, so I will not harm it. Sam was called to High Council soon after moving to Lymon. This position he held until just before he died. After Thisbe died, he spent most of his time working in the Manti Temple. He died of heart trouble November 26, 1935. .

Samuel Alonzo Allen and Thisbe Hanks *page 4: "Samuel Alonzo Allen was born 13 Jan 1865, in Parowan, Iron, Utah.  Thisbe Hanks was born 28 Mar 1872 in Salt Lake City, Utah.  Samuel and  Thisbe Hanks were married 27 Oct 1892 in the Manti Temple, Manti, Sanpete, Utah.  They came to Grover to live.  They had ten children.  Samuel having come from Escalante bought a farm on Carcass Creek, so called because of the dead bodies of sheep and cattle found on it. (The creek is narrow and steep and an animal slipping into it can hardly ever get out.)  The town is now called Grover, Utah.  Here Samuel built a three room house, this was the year of 1884.  When their third child was born Sam.  Samuel was called to fill a mission in the Southern States.  He left for the mission October 2, 1896.  Thisbe kept the post office and boarded (rented a room) to the school teacher and also rented out the farm, and this way she was able to keep Sam on his mission and support the family.  Sam returned from his mission October 2, 1898 exactly two years to the day.   In 1900 Sam traded their place at Grover for a farm and orchard in Caineville, Utah.  Thisbe took over the post office soon after moving to Caineville, this helped to keep their fast growing family, there wasn't much sale for fresh fruit at the time, so they dried and sold it.  In 1903 Sam traded for a ranch two and a half miles from Teasdale, Utah.  Thisbe stayed in Caineville while Sam worked the farm in Teasdale, Thisbe stayed in Caineville until 1906, then moved to the ranch in Teasdale, and this is where Paul Knowlton "Doc" Allen was born on April 17, 1908.  (Teasdale is at the junction of Bullberry Creek and the Fremont River.  The settlement was originally established in 1879 and was named for George Teasdale, a Mormon church apostle and pioneer.)   During this time Sam had been sustained into the bishopric as first counselor to Bishop William Heaps.  Sam and Thisbe had seven sons and four daughters and are both buried in the Lyman Cemetery."   memories of Doc *page 13:  "In 1909 they moved to Lyman, Utah, about 15 miles north of the northern part of the county.  Samuel bought a nice little 30 acre farm.  He raised hay and grain and lots of potatoes, he kept a small herd of cows which furnished us plenty of beef.  We had lots of butter and cheese.  He also kept a few pigs.  When fall came, they were busy gathering the crop, killing pigs and smoking the meat in the smoke house."  memories of Doc *page 15: "When Thisbe became ill, Samuel mortgaged the farm to pay the bills.  Their son Doc was the only one working so he paid the premium which was $33.00 every three months.  Doc got a job working for Frank Neff on the Horse Valley Ranch four miles from Lyman, Utah.  The other brothers would stay away from home.  Sam the oldest was married, Rube the next was off chasing around.  Pete had gone to live with the Harvey Mangum family in Bicknell.  Doc was 16 years old (1924) when his mother died, she had been ill for some time.  Doc was at the ranch and they didn't even send him word."   memories of Doc *page 42: written by Doc's wife... "Doc's dad had stayed with us for a while, I sort of got acquainted with him after the years I had been in the family.  He never seemed to like me, the idea that Doc had married me, because it seemed I had taken their financier away.  When Doc left, Grandpa (Sam) went to Amy's to stay, then on November 30, 1935 he died of a heart attack.  He had been outside, he came in and Amy said he seemed short of breath, he sat down on the couch and leaned over, she checked him and he was dead.  She went for me, I was the first to get there.  She was alone with her children.  Doc came home for the funeral, then after Christmas went back with the sheep herd." Samuel died, 26 Nov 1935, in Bicknell, Wayne, UT. source used:  *"A Legacy of Allens take their Action" compiled by Lyle Royce Allen and Debra Allen Young  (Royce is a son of Paul (Doc) Knowlton Allen).
