Biography

Sophronia has written her life story in an autobiography.

Childhood

Born at Dalton Creek (now Peterson) in Morgan County Utah. It is 2 miles north of Milton on the west side of the valley. Her family then moved to Kays Ward in Kaysville Utah and then to East Weber. She was baptized into the LDS Church at age 13 in the Weber River. At age 15 they moved to Snowville, Utah.

At age 14, Sophronia was chose to be Treasurer to Eliza R Snow, President of the LDS Church Relief Society from 1866 to her death in 1887. Eliza organized Relief Society, Young Women's groups and Primary Groups in each of the wards. Sophronia's biography refers to her as Teasurer for the Primary President.

First Marriage to J Phillips

In 1880, in Stone Idaho, Sophronia went to work for John Phillips and his wife. She would late marry John as a polygamous wife on 01-June-1882 at the Salt Lake Endowment House. Later that year the family went underground to avoid legal persecutions for polygamy.

In 1890, Sophronia took her children and moved in with her parents in Snowville as John had become quite mean to her. Here she worked as a nurse and mid-wife.

Second Marriage to H Edwards

In August 1893, she married Hyrum Edwards. They moved to Malad City, Idaho where he got odd ranch jobs.

Hyrum was the son of Patriarch Charles Edwards who was a Mormon convert immigrant from Derbyshire, England. His first marriage was to Elizabeth Coltrin, the daughter of early Mormon missionary Zebedee Coltrin (referenced in early church history). Hyrum and Elizabeth had a daughter, Susan Nina Edwards, that later married Sophronia's brother William. When he died young, Susan then married another brother of Sophronia, John. They he died young and Susan married Mr. Nordquist.

In 1897 her son Will left the family because of conflict with his step-dad. He went with his uncle William Tracy Hall to live with his grandparents. Later the same year Sophronia's family moved to Swan Lake, Idaho. Where they homestead 160 acres of land straight west of Swan Lake.

Sometime after the birth of Charles Warren in 1899, Hyrum Sr quit working and became a tramp. Sometime after this she sold the homestead and moved to a new homestead in Gentile Valley of Southern Idaho near two of her brothers.

After her father died in 1891, her mother moved in with her. She homestead 80 acres next to Sophronia's 160 acres.

Hyrum Edwards died on the streets of Salt Lake City in 1907, which was reported in the Deseret News.
