The
James and Leoline Brown
Era

1907 - 1932

1907

There are no letters from Leoline in 1907 from Brighton. 1907 marks the beginning of winters not spent in Salt Lake. It was an exploratory winter in Los Angeles, living in a hotel then an apartment. She and most of the children had been there since February, not returning to Salt Lake until July 7th. The annual Brown pilgrimage to Brighton, but without Leoline, didn't occur until mid-August.

August 14, 1907: Marjorie, Lavinia, Elizabeth, Leoline [daughter], Ted, Ross with Aunt Winifred and Hazel Abbott also Mary Olsen. Got a 7:30 start for Brighton. Showers during the day. Arrived there at 5pm after pleasant ride." There are no other entries regarding Brighton again until the 23rd. Leoline took ill with a "severe cold" on the 17th and spent several days trying to recover. August 23, 1907 "Decided to go to Brighton tomorrow. Cooked roast and barley beef to take. ... Bought maple sugar for Brighton.

August 24, 1907: Went with RossRoss had come down to attend a friend's wedding on the 21st. to Brighton. Got 10 o'clock start from Sugar House. Arrived in Brighton at 5 o'clock. Heavy rain and hail on the way. Found all well. Kitchen damaged by snow.

Leoline finally got her wish to have the floors refinished that she had expressed in 1905.

August 28, 1907: Ross started varnishing the floors. Marjie and Lavinia did spare room floor. Ross began upstairs hall.

August 30, 1907: ...Ross Marjie and Lavinia finished varnishing the floors all over the house with the exception of the stairs.

August 31, 1907: The fresh floors make the house seem very clean....Ross did the stairs at night.

September 2, 1907: Prepared for going down to S.L. Left pictures on the walls. Put provisions in tin cupboard, scattered poison wheat around. Started at 2PM in 4 seated rig. ... Arrived in S.L. about 5:30

There is no mention of James being in Brighton in 1907 at all.

Some years Leoline would make notations in the back of her diaries describing what items were left at the cabin through the winter and what items she would like the next season. Here is a sample from 1907:

In a letter dated from Ross to his father, written from New Haven, Connecticut, he states:

December 2, 1907: I was much interested in JC's letter from Brighton. I would enjoy a little trip like that very much myself. Here we have had a few feeble attempts at snow but as yet there has been no perceptible fall.

Creighton must have made a skiing trip to Brighton given the date and the reference to snow. These trips would usually begin from Park City.

1908

The winter of 1908 (beginning February 12th) was spent in Moapa, Nevada at a ranch owned by a Mr. and Mrs. Sparks.It is unknown what connection the Sparks' had to the Browns. Most likely none; they simply took in boarders. In Leoline's letters to James she speaks somewhat critically of the Sparks' and the way they treated the Browns. Leoline, Creighton, and the girls, with the exception of Marjorie, lived in a tent erected for them on the ranch. Marjorie stayed in Salt Lake to complete her school year. James was in Moapa for the first few weeks helping them get established. They returned to Salt Lake on April 12th after a rather unsatisfactory stay. On May 6th Leoline and James left on a trip back east to visit the Brown relatives and attend Ross's graduation from Yale. They returned in mid July.

Others went to Brighton in August but Leoline did not arrive until the 27th and only stayed for a week.

August 8, 1908: Brighton party took trip up to Lake Mary with lunch, visited Martha and snow bank. At night Ted went to Caine's for candy pull.

August 9, 1908: Children and Ethel at Brighton went to Deadwood Gulch. Big storm there.

August 12, 1908: Trip to Twin Lakes by Brighton children.

August 26, 1908: Ethel W. went down from Brighton on Dan's stage.

August 27, 1908: LWB rode in auto to old paper mill thence took stage to Silver Lake...arrived 4pm.

August 28, 1908:In 1908 Leoline and James were in the east much of the spring and early summer visiting the New Jersey relatives and attending Ross's graduation from Yale. Leoline's sister, Ethel, accompanied the children to Brighton the first part of August. Leoline came to Balsam Hill for only a week or so on August 28th. We had a pleasant ride up.Gathering Flowers
Gathering Flowers for Leoline
It was the four seated stage that came up and there were four passengers besides Mr. Davis. I had the back seat. A botanist friend of the Gates' occupied the third, another man whom I have seen before occupied the second and Dan Brighton's daughter had the first with Davis. The botanist got out frequently and gathered handfuls of dried seed pods (of flowers) which he would pickoff and put into envelopes in the wagon. At the Maxfield Mine there was an hour stop - and at the Forestry Station the stage stopped while we looked over the nurseries and had the work explained. We arrived in Brighton about four. My baggage was reckoned 100 lbs excess and cost me $1.00 extra.
...I found Ted and the children awaiting me dressed in their gayest. The house had been polished to the extreme, beautiful bouquets had been gathered in and everything was very nice. The place looks fine but the kitchen has spread away from the other house. I did a little breathing in the open this morning after my usual paroxysm of coughing.

Except for the brevity of the summer's sojourn, it was typical of other years.

August 30, 1908: Heavy snow most of morning. Mother, Ted and Leoline went in PM for a walk along P.C. road to Horseshoe Bend and thence over two ridges home. Much snow on north surfaces.

August 31, 1908: Breakfast at 11. Milk had ice on it. Lavinia, Mother, Elizabeth, Leoline and Mary went to Twin lakes returning at six for dinner. Pony went off.

August 31, 1908: ...we must have a new cook stove up here next year.

September 1, 1908: Two men mended the gap bet log home and kitchen. 9am to 4pm no trace of pony.

September 3, 1908: Prepared to leave but found we could not have stage. I went with L, E, and L to Lakes Martha, Mary and Dog. Woodruff and M Harris called. Ted stayed at their house all night. Sent load down.

September 4, 1908: Returned at 12 arriving on Lincoln Ave at 3pm. Auto met us at 2 at paper mill.

1909

In the summers now, day trips to Saltair are a popular activity for the Brown family. On July 2nd, 1909 Creighton (now almost 25) met his mother, father and four sisters at the Great Salt Lake. This is where he first introduced them to Flora Twelves. He and Flora would later be married on May 8, 1911.

Ross's first position after graduation with a mining sciences degree from Yale, was at a gold mining operation in Tonopah, Nevada. On July 3rd, 1909 it was announced that Ross (22) had been recommended for "position of Superintendant of Rosedale Mill in N.M." and on July 28th he left for New Mexico to begin work. From there Ross took a position in Morenci, Arizona, almost directly east of Phoenix, for a very brief stay. Late in 1909 Ross moved on to Pinos, Zacatecas Mexico at the Cinco Estrellas Mining Company in central Mexico. From his letters to his father, Ross seemed to enjoy the work in Mexico, chemically extracting the gold and silver from the ore, but the company was not so reliable at meeting payroll. In August of 1910, Ross left Mexico via boat from Manzanillo (south of Puerto Vallarta) to San Francisco, and then took a train to Los Angeles.

Also, in the summer of 1909, Dorothy DotyIn the back of the 1903 diary are several stories about the Bucher family. James' mother was Elizabeth Bucher Brown. The Buchers were originally from Germany."The Buchers, Geo, Jacob and John, came to America for a refuge on account of the Catholic-Lutheran wars and troubles in Germany and were in time to take part in the American Revolution. One sister, a maiden lady, stayed behind. Later, the family bible was sent over to George Bucher and in the passage the silver clasps were stolen from it. It is at this writing, 215 years old, and has been given by Lanol Bucher, eldest of the family, 82, to Dorothy Doty." It is not known what has become of the bible. Dorothy Doty never married and had no children. was visiting the Browns from New Jersey. Dorothy was the daughter of James' sister Cora and was a year older than Ted (18). Dorothy would stay with the Browns through the summer and went with them to Hollywood through the spring of 1910.

August of 1909 was an active three weeks in Brighton. The cabin was full of friends and family and excursions were plentiful. Mary Olsen, the cook who had accompanied the Browns the last couple of years to Brighton, was to take the stage and begin preparing the cabin for the family's arrival. But on the morning of August 5th, Mary's father came to the Brown's house on Lincoln Avenue informing them that Mary and her sister had been attacked the night before while returning from church, suffering some head injuries and would not be able to make the trip this year.

Ted took Mary's place on the stage and was the first to arrive on August 5th taking the provisions. James and Leoline went to visit Mary and were happy to discover her injuries were not too serious. They then engaged the services of Ada Morrison and planned to leave for Brighton the next day.

When Ted arrived at Balsam Hill Cabin he found:

August 5, 1909: ... a pane of glass broken in the spare room window. The log propping the kitchen was splintered and one end had pushed a board of the kitchen wall in. The roof of the bunk room, known as Creighton's, which was mended last year, had again pulled apart from the kitchen and let the rain in. The ornamental railing around the kitchen part of the porch was lying on the ground.Leoline's diary in 1909 was a very small one with little room to write each day. She also maintained a separate "Journal of Brighton 1909" written on stationary. These 1909 diary excerpts are a combination of these two sources.

The above entry would certainly confirm that the framed kitchen is still in place, continuing to be the victim of winters in the Wasatch Mountains.

August 6, 1909: Friday. The family consisting of Mrs J,H,B., Marjorie, Lavinia, Elizabeth, Leoline, Miss Dorothy Doty of Wyoming, N.J. and the new assistant Ada Morrison left Lincoln Ave at 8:40 by auto. Arrived at Balsam Hill at 11 after a very pleasant ride. The sky was overcast most all day and a few drops fell. There are many patches of snow on the surrounding hills within walking distance and the yard is a mass of flowers. Ted had swept out the house and looked very clean and good.

August 7, 1909: ...Milk was secured at Robert Brighton's close byRobert Brighton's cabin was several lots to the south of Balsam Hill Cabin. .... Children prepared a bonfire.

August 8, 1909: Cousin"Cousin" referred to Nellie Montgomery. came up on stage. Ted and girls went to Mary's Lake in PM. Mother, Cousin, Ada and two youngest went to Deadwood Gulch.

August 10, 1909: Party went to Solitude. Wash day. Very heavy rain. At twelve PM Creighton and Uncle Joe left Salt Lake for Brighton in our auto.

The roads had improved over the last several years and the mode of transportation was improving as well, but the trip up the canyon was still not an adventure without possible hardship.

August 11, 1909: Dorothy and Ted had sat up late looking for Creighton but finally went to bed. About 3 AM Creighton approached the house and his shouts aroused the sleepers. Dorothy opened the door. Ted and I came downstairs. Uncle Joe and C were there. The auto was stalled down the Cañon, could not proceed without chains. The roads had not been muddy until the Maxfield Mine.The Maxfield Mine was located in Mill A Gulch, about seven and a half miles down canyon from Brighton. But the bushes were so wet they were both drenched as to feet and trousers. There were no chains about but a rope on a tent on the rafters upstairs. C took that and he and Joe returned to machine. At about 5 AM they brought the auto into the open below our stile [sic]. ... They turned out for 7:30 breakfast and got started for Salt Lake at 8:40. Marjorie Brooks and Annie Godbe accompanied them. Only Ted went from Balsam Hill Cabin. They expect to be in city for G.A.R. parade.The Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) was a fraternal organization composed of veterans of the Union Army who had served in the American Civil War. The GAR was among the first organized interest groups in American politics. It was succeeded by the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW). If the rope around the tire holds they will be able to make the trip all right.

August 13, 1909: JH and Ted came up on Sugar House stage. Virginia W spent P.M. also Hooper,Virginia Woodruff, a playmate of young Leoline's and Hooper Caine was a playmate of Elizabeth's. Cousin, D and I went about camp in A.M. visited Fabians.

August 14, 1909: Snow in August
Snow in August - Hiking above Twin Lakes
About 11:30 the family with Cousin took picnic to Twin Lakes. Dorothy and Ted fished until lunch. Ate at far end of upper lake by stream. After lunch Cousin and I fished. Father, Ted Dorothy and four Browns went to snow bank on Alta Divide. (Snow a sheer cliff 20 feet high.) They went on to Tuscarora summit where another great bank is spread out in sight of our cabin....They brought home snow for sherbet.

Leoline had made a comment when they first arrived on the 6th how ill and tired she felt. Impressive then how much tramping she was able to do in the days following. On the 17th she mentioned she had resumed her breathing exercises in earnest and on the 18th:

...felt much more rigorous than when I first came up."

August 30, 1909: Left Brighton with goods at 11:20. Arrived at paper mill about 2:20. Met auto. Arrived home about 3pm. Very pleasant trip."

1910

In 1910 Leoline and James purchased the house in Hollywood, California. The girls began school there and this became home for Leoline. James would travel back and forth frequently for short visits, but spent most of his time guiding his business ventures in Salt Lake.

This is the last year that Leoline writes in her diary about Brighton and only one letter in 1910 is in the collection written from Silver Lake. However, as she did in 1909, Leoline kept a separate journal regarding activities at Balsam Hill that is much more detailed than her brief diary entries.

In the spring Leoline's mother, Lavinia Hawkins Woodmansee, became seriously ill. When Leoline was informed on April 26th that her mother's condition was deteriorating rapidly, Leoline prepared to return to Salt Lake. Lavinia died while her daughter was in route. The girls stayed behind in Hollywood with Dorothy and Leoline did not return to California until May 24th.

They all left California on July 20th and returned to Salt Lake. On the 25th Leoline and James, with some friends, traveled by train to Yellowstone Park while Leoline's sister, Winnifred and a friend, Maud Paul, journeyed to Balsam Hill. They hired Billy Turpin to take down the shutters and put the chimneys in order and spent 3 days having a quiet restful vacation. On the 27th Creighton, Flora, Elizabeth and young Leoline arrived in Brighton via the train to Park City and then the stage to Brighton. Susie Jenkins, the cook for the season, joined them, arriving on the Murray stage.

When Leoline arrived with Marjorie on August 3rd she noted:

August 3, 1910: Arrived at the cottage. The newcomers found only the maid. The others were fishing at Twin lakes. ... Brighton seems more dry. There are chipmunks in droves but no ground squirrels. Wild flowers not quite so plentiful.

August 4, 1910: Trunk hamper, washing machine and new stove arrived.

August 5, 1910: Breakfast at eight so stove could cool and be carried out. JC put up new stove, also new screen. Dorothy and Lavinia arrived on the PC stage.

Creighton and Flora went back to Salt Lake on the afternoon of the 9th, but not before one last time at the lake. Creighton fished almost every day during their two week stay hauling in nearly four dozen during that time.

For the first time, Leoline comments on the cabin water supply. On the 6th she writes,

"JC turned water in our brook for first time."

And again on the 10th,

"We are having trouble with our little stream of water along south fence. It dwindles and has to be turned on again. The Caines have the same trouble with theirs."Water Claim by Woodruff and Brown (Appendix Q).

Leoline makes several comments concerning improvements to other cabins in the area - the Caines are adding a maid's room and store room in the back, the Woodruff's added new bedrooms with

"...stationary washbowls and hot and cold water. Bathroom, acetylene gas plant and fixtures throughout the cottage. New barn. The Karricks are in their new house with guests and are going right on furnishing the house - partitions and front porch. The Barrows also back of us are improving their yard making a good path, etc."

Leoline and Elizabeth
Leoline and Elizabeth 1915 with the log kitchen in the background.
These comments have relevance in trying to date when the log kitchen was added in place of the oft damaged framed structure. A case could be made that the new stove may have been installed as a result of a new kitchen, but it seems unlikely that Leoline would neglect to describe the new structure given her descriptions of others who have improved their cabins. It is never mentioned in any writings and those, regarding Brighton, ceased after the 1910 season. The picture of Leoline and Elizabeth was taken in 1915 showing the log kitchen in the background, so all that can be surmised is the kitchen was added between 1911 and 1915.Framed kitchen

Notice the framed kitchen moved (now called the "Annex"), the log kitchen addition (1911-1915),

There were difficulties with the new stove as described in the only letter available written in 1910.

August 18, 1910: My Dear Jim, Yesterday we had a thorough cleaning of the little stove which refused to bake on the bottom or to burn at all with the damper up. Ted and I cleaned it well. The soot was gummed together in a sticky mess. I don't know why it should get so. Will you go and speak of it? It is not as good as it should be now, but did not smoke so badly. I think perhaps we should take it down and return it, and take parts of the old one and have it mended.

Despite her respiratory illness, Leoline was still able to enjoy some tramping in Brighton.

August 20, 1910: James Creighton Brown's 26th birthday. The household prepared to go out climbing en masse. They got started toward twelve PM bearing lunch and sweaters. Clouds scudded by and in the intervals the sun was very hot. We took the trail behind Silver Lake. Hooper Caine accompanied the children making nine in our party. - Arrived at the upper lake we camped by the stream on further side. Many trees have been cut and are being snaked into Little Cottonwood Cañon over the Solitude gap. The dust is ankle deep on the trail. After eating lunch Ted and I with Susie (cook), Leoline, Elizabeth and Hooper went on to Alta Divide while Dorothy, Marjorie and Lavinia remained awhile at the camp then went to the top of Evergreen Mt. - Arrived at the divide - Ted went up to the ridge to the top of Honeycomb Cliff. Susie and Leoline went a little way on Tuscarora. There the five of us followed the upper trail to the Solitude gap. Ted joined us before we had gone far. After picking up the others at Evergreen we went homeward. We stopped at a deserted mine back of Silver Lake and drank delicious cold water and finished the candy. It was six when we reached home.

Following up on the efforts of the August 1906 and 1909 community meetings, another significant Brighton event in 1910 was the formation of the Silver Lake Water Works Company. Here is an excerpt from the minutes from that initial meeting.

1911-1920

After the addition of the log kitchen, no major modifications or improvements were made to Balsam Hill Cabin until the thirties.

From 1911 until her death in 1916, Leoline spent most of her time in California and returned to Salt Lake infrequently and only for short visits. Little is mentioned of Brighton through those years. No diaries exist after 1912 and letters speak mostly of the girl's activities, Creighton's family, Leoline's health and conditions with the Hollywood house. The window into their lives and activities at Balsam Hill was closed with her death.

Ted graduated from Yale with the class of 1913. Marjorie was educated at Rosemary Hall, Greenwich, Connecticut. Lavinia graduated from the high school at Hollywood, California and from the University of California, Berkeley in the class of 1918. Elizabeth graduated from Mount Vernon Seminary in Washington, D. C. in May 1919. Leoline graduated from the high school at Hollywood, California, in 1919.

The girls would spend time in Salt Lake in the summers. Balsam Hill Cabin did not see the same activity as it did during the first decade in the 20th century, but it did not sit idle either. The evidence for this is a selection of photographs on the following pages, showing the Brown girls and Ted in their teens and early twenties in Brighton.

When Leoline died on December 18, 1916 Creighton was 32, married, working and raising a 4 year old daughter. He was engaged in food brokerage and real estate businesses and lived in the Orange Drive home, at least through 19201920 Los Angeles, California census. and then moved to 1559 Gordon Street.After Creighton died in 1938, Flora continued to live at the Gordon Street home. Flora died in 1969. Barbara was married in 1946. It is not known what became of her husband, John C. Martin. Barbara later lived in the Gordon Street house untill 1997 when it was sold after her move to Phoenix, Arizona. Barbara's daughter, Wendy Martin Anderson, was living in Phoenix at the time. Barbara died in Phoenix in 1998 and Wendy died in California in 2005. Young Leoline most likely lived with Creighton, Flora and Barbara on Orange Drive until her Hollywood High School graduation in 1919. In the 20's the Orange Drive home was sold to a silent film star named Conway Tearle. In 1936 the American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) purchased the home for offices and a meeting place and continues to occupy the home in that capacity today.

Ross was to be 30 in a few days, had just married Norinne Thompson and was living in Salt Lake and working at the Troy Laundry. Ted turned 26 shortly before his mother's death and was living and working with his father.

In 1920, James, Ted and the four girls were living at 1465 Sigsbee Avenue in Salt LakeOn its east end, Sigsby intersects with Perry Ave and N. Wolcott near the University of Utah. .

1921

In 1921 Elizabeth married John Henderson.

1930

In 1930 Ted, Marjorie, Lavinia and Leoline lived with James at 903 Second Avenue1930 Salt Lake City, Utah census. until they moved into their newly constructed home at 1686 East 39th South on May 25, 1930.

Chapter 3 Footnotes

35 Ross had come down to attend a friend's wedding on the 21st.

36 It is unknown what connection the Sparks' had to the Browns. Most likely none; they simply took in boarders. In Leoline's letters to James she speaks somewhat critically of the Sparks' and the way they treated the Browns.

37 In 1908 Leoline and James were in the east much of the spring and early summer visiting the New Jersey relatives and attending Ross's graduation from Yale. Leoline's sister, Ethel, accompanied the children to Brighton the first part of August. Leoline came to Balsam Hill for only a week or so on August 28th.

38 In the back of the 1903 diary are several stories about the Bucher family. James' mother was Elizabeth Bucher Brown. The Buchers were originally from Germany.

"The Buchers, Geo, Jacob and John, came to America for a refuge on account of the Catholic-Lutheran wars and troubles in Germany and were in time to take part in the American Revolution. One sister, a maiden lady, stayed behind. Later, the family bible was sent over to George Bucher and in the passage the silver clasps were stolen from it. It is at this writing, 215 years old, and has been given by Lanol Bucher, eldest of the family, 82, to Dorothy Doty."

It is not known what has become of the bible. Dorothy Doty never married and had no children.

39 Leoline's diary in 1909 was a very small one with little room to write each day. She also maintained a separate "Journal of Brighton 1909" written on stationary. These 1909 diary excerpts are a combination of these two sources.

40 Robert Brighton's cabin was several lots to the south of Balsam Hill Cabin.

41 "Cousin" referred to Nellie Montgomery.

42 The Maxfield Mine was located in Mill A Gulch, about seven and a half miles down canyon from Brighton.

43 The Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) was a fraternal organization composed of veterans of the Union Army who had served in the American Civil War. The GAR was among the first organized interest groups in American politics. It was succeeded by the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW).
