AZ.</span></p></div><div class="Normal" style="margin-left: 20pt; margin-right: 10pt; "><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Prepared by Robert Allen Reed and Sharon Reed Gray</span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Robert Sion Reed was born on Apri3, 1918 in Thatcher, Arizona to Bessie May Fain and Carson Reed. He was born in a small home next to his paternal grandparents, Alabama Evans and Robert Reed. He was the second of five children born to Bessie and Carson. During his childhood the Reed family moved to Los Angeles for a short time. While living there his mother passed away ten months after her baby June was born. R.S. was only five years old at the time of his mother’s death. Shortly thereafter, the family moved back to Thatcher, where the present day John Deere dealer and Animal hospital are located. Some of Dad’s earliest memories were of his Grandpa’s farm where they had bees, chickens, a milk cow and where they raised vegetables in their garden.</span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">The Reed family moved again when he was eight to the Prina farm in Safford near the river. He worked with his father and grandfather on the farm until he was about fifteen years old. For a short time he worked for the Conservation Core on Mount Graham at the Columbine campsite, building roads and installing corrugated pipe for road drainage. “Dad recently told us a story about when he was headed up Mount Graham to the campsite with two other fellows and they were on foot. It was getting kind of late and a truck that was headed toward the camp passed them. The other two guys he was with were able to run and jump on the truck, but he wasn’t fast enough to catch it and ended up all alone walking up the mountain with no light to guide him.”</span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">In 1936, his father bought a farm near Glenwood, New Mexico and R.S. moved there to help work on the farm. He made a number of trips to the town of Mogollon to deliver fresh produce, hogs and chickens that they raised on the farm. This is also where R.S. developed his love of hunting. He spent a lot of his free time in the surrounding mountains hunting for deer. He stayed in Glenwood for a few years before moving to Tucson and then Phoenix to work for his Uncle John Fain and for Rale Singh on their farms.</span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">While in Phoenix, R.S. “Dick” was introduced to Alla Pearl Frost by his sister, June. Alla Pearl was from Snowflake, Arizona and was attending nursing training at St. Joseph’s Hospital where she was June’s roommate. Dick went to work with Phelps Dodge at Morenci June and Alla Pearl came for a weekend visit in July of 1943. A joy ride and a dare later, they were married in Lordsburg, New Mexico on July 8, 1943. Due to a nursing school regulation that required students to be single, it was a year before R.S, and Alla Pearl were able to tell of their marriage to friends and family. Alla Pearl had returned to Phoenix for school and Dick continued to work at Morenci all the time writing each other and keeping their secret.</span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"> Dick joined the Navy in December of 1943. He did his training in San Francisco and was trained to be a radar specialist. The remainder of his naval career was spent on a small ship in the South Pacific putting his radar skills to work scrubbing the deck. The Navy had put him on a ship without radar! Fortunately his ship was never involved in any battles and he was bored but saved from battle trauma. The highlight of his Pacific assignment was when he was in Philippines he was able to meet with his brother Alvin and his sister June who were serving there in with the U.S. Army.</span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">He was writing almost daily to Alla Pearl while she was in nurses training in Phoenix, then Fresno and when she worked at the dispensary in McNary. She wanted to join the military to help with the war effort and he tried to persuade her otherwise. She finally joined the Army and was stationed in Walla Walla, Washington. Their letters from this time were their only communication.</span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">After the war and being released from their military assignments, they finally got to live together in Morenci, Arizona where they both worked for Phelps Dodge Corporation. Dick became a welder in the boiler shop and Red became a nurse at the Morenci Hospital.</span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">In 1947, their first child was born, a daughter they named Sharon Pearl. In 1950, a son named Robert Allen and in 1953 as son named Richard Alvin completed their family. Morenci was to be their home for the next thirty-three years.</span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">The family lived in different parts of Morenci, eventually settling in Plantsite at Sunset Street where they lived for over fifteen years. Every year the Reed family planned a major vacation, some of which included Disneyland, Yellowstone National Park, Marineland, Mazatlan Mexico and the World’s Fair in Seattle. Closer to home they also enjoyed camping at Woods Canyon Lake, Black River, Big Lake and the White Mountains.</span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Dick was an avid outdoorsman and he raised his children to love horses, camping fishing and hunting. They kept horses in the corrals near their Plantsite home.</span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Dick retired after thirty eight years with Phelps Dodge and moved to a home they had built near Duncan, Arizona on twenty one acres of land. Red retired from the hospital because she was having health problems. Shortly after the move, “Red” passed away on June 4, 1979 and was buried in Snowflake, Arizona.</span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Several years later he married Mary Bearup Albert and they continued to live at the little ranch near Duncan. They enjoyed the grandchildren and one of the experience that Robert and Sharon’s families remember is the family gathering at Pagosa Springs in 1985? Mary passed away in ..</span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Soon after that Dick and Doris Goodman began dating. They had been good friends and had dated for a time in 1981, a year before Dad married Mary. Doris encouraged Dad in his religious pursuits and eventually they were married in the LDS Mesa Temple. Eventually Doris’ children, Don, Joe and Linda were all sealed to Dick and Doris. The temple work sealing Alla Pearl to Dick was also performed in the Manti temple with Doris acting as proxy.</span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">They have been very happy and lived in the Duncan ranchette. In early August 2000 Dick suffered a stroke and was flown to Tucson where he died on 4 August 2000 surrounded by his family.</span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">At the funeral of Robert Sion Reed these memories were stated;</span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Things Dad loved to do:</span></p><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Family camp trips with family including grandkids to enjoy the forest and cool mountain air</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">As long as Abby (his mule) could pack him he would be hunting</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Hunting trips with friends and family ( Eb Holmes, Bob Carrol, Booger Brownell, sons; Robert and Richard, Bobby and Clay Gomez)</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">At age 82 he put in with EB Holmes fro Elk, Antelope and Deer</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">His recent trip to Searchlight, Nevada to a Frost Family Reunion with Robert and Derek</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Even after the many years since Red’s death he made it a point to stay in contact with her family. He loved them very much.</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">He couldn’t pass by an area without remembering a piece of history; such as his CC experiences on Mt. Graham, the many stories around Glenwood, Catwalk and the Alma Mesa area</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">At the drop of a hat he would go with friends like Joe Light on whatever adventure might be in store for the day.</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">His trips most mornings to visit Jigs Wagley and others to keep up on the news in the community.</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">His daily walks to the school bus stop with Lisa and Lindsey to start their school day.</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">He was always concerned and made frequent trips to visit his sisters Helen and Nell.</span></li></ul><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">“Dad truly loved life and people around him.

My mother had traveled to Morenci, Arizona with her roommate, June Reed, from nurses training at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Phoenix. She had known June’s brother, R.S. “Dick.” Reed, for over a year when June and Dick talked her into coming to Morenci to visit.</span></span></p><p style="font-size:1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">On the evening of July 7th, 1943, Dick, Red, Dick's sister; Nell Brownell and a buddy; Nolas Byrd went for a joy ride near the Arizona-New Mexico Border. They had been drinking and in the early hours of July 8th, they were pulled over by a policeman, most likely for speeding. They claimed they were trying to get to Lordsburg to get married. The averted speeding ticket resulted in a police escort to the home of Rachel Atkinson, Deputy Clerk of Hidalgo County. The poor clerk was awakened in the wee hours of the morning by the scared looking young couple at her front door. The license is officially recorded as having been issued at 5:50 a.m.</span></span></p><p style="font-size:1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">The hung-over foursome then waited outside the county courthouse til it opened. At 9:15 a.m. it is recorded that Robert S. Reed and Alla Pearl Frost were married by Justice of the Peace, C. W. Marsalis, with Nellie Brownell and Nolas Byrd serving as witnesses.</span></span></p><p style="font-size:1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Information from the Marriage License and Marriage Certificate reveal the following:</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;font-size:1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#660000;"><b>::: </b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#660000;"><b>Robert S.

Red could not be married and be in nurses training. They had no real plans to set up housekeeping; Dick was working in Morenci, Arizona with Phelps Dodge Corporation in the copper industry but had intentions to join the service, either the Army or the Navy. It was wartime and most every able person of age was joining the military.</span></span></p><p style="font-size:1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Alla Pearl, “Red”, went back to Phoenix with her new sister-in-law, June Reed, to continue nurses training with a great big secret. She would not be allowed to continue in nurses training at St. Joseph’s Hospital if it were known she was married.</span></span></p><p style="font-size:1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">In the fall of that year the senior class of nurses-in-training had a falling out with the administration of St. Joseph’s Hospital. They resigned as a class and moved to Fresno, California to finish school at Fresno General Hospital. Apparently it was against the rules at both hospitals for a nurse-in-training to be married so it had to remain a secret for at least another year.</span></span></p><p style="font-size:1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">World War II- Arizona. Responding to national recruiting- </span></span><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Uncle Sam Needs You</span></span></u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">, My Dad joined the Navy. My mother was in nurses training waiting for letters from my Dad. After she graduated from Fresno General Hospital as an R.N., she worked for a while in McNary, Arizona for Drs. Herbst and Dysterheft at the McNary Hospital. She joined the war effort as a lieutenant in the Army nursing core, and yes she had her share of training in combat boots.</span></span></p></div><div class="heading1" style="margin-left: 10pt; margin-top: 15pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 128); font-size:1.2em;"><p style="font-size:1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">My mother wore combat boots!</span></b></span></p></div><div class="normal" style=" margin-left: 20pt; margin-right: 10pt; font-size:0.9em;"><p style="font-size:1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Combat Boots and Nurses Cap were an appropriate symbol for my mother’s life. The combat boots refer more to her life and attitude that to the actual boots she wore in boot camp. The nurse’s cap can also refer to her mothering as well as her professional life as a registered nurse, but it does define so much about her.</span></span></p><p style="font-size:1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">In my memory she was always a nurse and she was associated with the Morenci Hospital. Every week-day and many holidays my mother worked at the Hospital. She wielded a great deal of authority and even a measure of power that create fear in patients because she was the head of the dispensary and most likely the person to administer shots in the arm or the derriere to all patrons of the hospital. In a copper mining town where everyone works for “the company” and the hospital is a company hospital, a sense of authority seemed to be attached to the caretakers of the health of the community.</span></span></p><p style="font-size:1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">The company, Phelps Dodge Corporation, controlled everything. We lived in a company house, all 1200 square feet of it. Everyone else lived in a company house too.</span></span></p><p style="font-size:1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Most were the same size as ours, only a handful of “company big shots” had larger houses. We thought it was fine since there was no other choice and the rent was only twenty-six dollars a month. The company had carpenters, plumbers and painters that took care of the maintenance needs of the houses. Whether you wanted it or not, house interiors and garage exteriors were painted every five years. Company homes were situated in neighborhoods like Plantsite, Stargo and Tent City.</span></span></p><p style="font-size:1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">We shopped at the company store, the Phelps Dodge Mercantile. The convenient thing was, it could all be on an account, so you just got a statement at the end of the month. The account could just be subtracted from your paycheck. If it happened to be a strike year, purchases could still be charged, but when the strike was over all the paycheck went to compensate the debt until it was totally settled. It gives meaning to Tennessee Ernie Ford’s mournful refrain, “I owe my soul to the company store.”</span></span></p><p style="font-size:1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">I remember my mother’s starched white nurses cap, it was worn almost like a crown, a symbol of authority and professionalism. Less authoritarian and more arbitrary were the white “nurses” shoes, thought to be unattractive but sturdy and a must for the uniformed nurse. Her dress was knee length and tight and had to be fitted with the clip-in mother of pearl buttons with the medical symbol that matched her cuff links. There were at least 15 of those buttons that went from collar to hem. She had to wear white nylons and wrestle with a girdle and garter connections. In this tight fitting outfit she changed sheets and bedpans and dealt with all the needs of the patients. She working extremely hard. In the 1940s and 1950s, R.Ns were required to do more of the tasks that are now assigned to nurse’s aides or “patient care technicians”.</span></span></p><p style="font-size:1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">As a little girl I used to sit on her bed and watch her go through the process of girding up for a gruelling day of work at the hospital in a uniform that by today’s standards seems torturous. She did complain about it sometimes. I think the words she used were “these damn buttons” and” this damn uniform” as she dealt with them daily.</span></span></p><p style="font-size:1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">The uniform looked formal and awesome on my mother. I remember her auburn red hair contrasting with the whiteness of everything else. Everyone in Morenci who knew her well called her “Red.” and the name suited her well. She was well read, she “saw red” often and she had a “red hot” personality. Red was much more descriptive than her legal name which was Alla Pearl Frost Reed. In fact she had been named Allen Pearl at birth, but as a young adult had it legally changed to Alla Pearl, which seemed more feminine.</span></span></p></div></span>Red and Navyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00475477551205096371noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936491364402165498.post-56131927657051444412010-02-06T20:35:00.000-08:002010-02-10T12:48:04.503-08:00Alla Pearl<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WfcRHgys9BM/S25DK2fgaYI/AAAAAAAAAC8/sI-_wVwkG7s/s1600-h/boots-plus.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"><blockquote></blockquote><img style="display:block;
