On February 28, 1855, a son was born to Sherdrick and Eliza Haws (Pickup) Holdaway whom they named Marion Haws Holdaway. His mother Eliza was a sister of Shedrick's first wife Lucinda Haws and had been married to George Pickup, a Mormon Battalion man. On September 13, 1852, Eliza divorced Mr. Pickup after nearly four years of marriage and one son George. For some unknown reason Mr. Pickup began acting as though he suspected Eliza of being unfaithful to him, which was entirely unfounded. Their home was in a grove of trees and it is said he would go out and hide behind the trees to watch the house. This went on until Eliza became so frightened she could stand it no longer so she left him, after which Shedrick Holdaway married her. Eliza died when Marion was five days old so Lucinda took him and raised him with her family, consequently Marion knew no other mother.
He was taught early in life the value of work. When twelve years of age it was his responsibility to drive the cows three miles west of Prove and herd them while they grazed and bring them back at night. One time while bringing the cows home he saw two Indians coming towards him so he leaped into a deep pond, pulled dead rushes around him so the Indians couldn't see him. Another time he saw a large trout in a deep hole in the river so he stripped off his clothes, dived into the water and finally caught the fish which weighted ten or twelve pounds. At fifteen years of age he started to work at his father's sawmill in the South Fork of Provo Canyon, which he continued to do until two years after his marriage.
Marion loved to dance and the story is told that one summer while working at the sawm,ill he wanted to attend the 4th and 24th of July dances. He had his breakfast by day-break, walked two miles up to White Pine Peak, cut logs all day, walked back, had supper, cleaned up, walked sixteen miles to Provo, danced until two or three o'clock in the morning, walked back to the mill, had breakfast, then off to cut timber all day.
It was at one of these dances that Marion met a young lady who also loved to dance. She was Prudence Eliza Peay, daughter of Francis and Eliza Jane Baker Peay, born 7 March 1854 in Provo, Utah. At this time she was working in Salt Lake City so their courting was mostly done by correspondence. Marion and Prudence were married on Saturday, November 25, 1873, at six o'clock by Judge Dusenberry. Marion had been working on the threshing machine in Vineyard all day so was late for his wedding and Judge Dusenberry never forgot tho tease him about being late for his wedding.
Their first home was a couple of lean-to rooms in the river bottoms and their first furniture was second-hand and consisted of a stove, chairs, table, bed and large flour bin. Their next home was a two-room adobe shack near the Provo City Cemetary. Later Marion built a log house on land he had purchased in the South Fork of Provo Canyon and sold it after four years. Their last home in Provo was near Pioneer Park. Here their last four children (Lida, Florence, Zelda, and Jennie) were born.
Marion worked in various places at sawmills, on threshing machine crews, on the first telegraph line that went up in Spanish Fork Canyon, out at Green River, Colorado, where he hauled ties for the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad; and in Eureka where he worked in the mines. He had several narrow escapes of his life. While drilling in a mine shaft in Eureka, he had four or five holes ready to fire but one of the fuses wouldnt fire. By the time he got it going he didnt have time to reach the second ladder when the first shot knocked him off. It stunned him when he fell but he could see the other fuses sputtering and just as he grabbed the second ladder, the next two shots went off but he made it safe. While in Green River one of the cows got in the quicksand and he went out to get a rope on her and he went down up to his arms. He kept wiggling to the the water around him and pulling at the sand on top until he finally got out.
Marion had always wanted a farm so in July 1898 he bought one-sixth interest in his father's farm in Vineyard. Here Marion and Prudence spent the remaining years of their lives. Life on the farm meant hard work for land had to be leveled, drains and ditches dug, roads built and a house, small at first but added to until it was a comfortable dwelling.
Prudence and Marion were both lovers of nature and the better and finer things of life. She protected and fed the birds that sang in the trees. She loved and raised beautiful flowers and many a bouquet has found its way to the sick, to brides and many many years flowers were sent to adorn the stand on the church on Sunday. They were not particularly church-going people but they were honest, thrifty and hardworking and taught their children to be the same. They loved music and Prudence had a sweet voice. Her favorite hymn was "Come, Come Ye Saints". She also loved "Count Your Blessings", "Oh, My Father", and "O, Ye Mountains High". Their home was always filled with good books and magazines, for they wanted their children to be surrounded with only the best and nobler ideals that they could provide.
Marion died 27 June 1929. To lose her devoted, faithful companion was a great sorrow to Prudence and from then on she lived a quiet, peaceful life, surrounded by loved ones, many trees and flowers. Nothing in nature ever escaped her view. A beautiful sunrise or sunset, a spring morning with dew sparkling on the grass, a winter scene with the frost clinging to the trees, fence and shrubs, autumn with its splendid colors all filled her soul with joy. She often wished she could paint a picture or be a poet so she could express her love of nature.
She had a keen, intellectual mind and was a good conversationalist. Everyone enjoyed visiting with her and recieving a warm welcome. She had a keen sense of humor and you came away feeling better for having been with her.
Prudence passed away December 17, 1942, having been a true wife and mother and a kind and loving grandmother.
