  Headstone_Partridge, Stanley & Geniel http://trees.ancestry.com/rd?f=image&guid=afc298a5-b4f0-4ffd-9b69-7fa2921793fe&tid=32128504&pid=2163 Life History Stanley Stott Partridge Given by grandson, Kevin P. Robertson Stanley S. Partridge was born April 14,1904, here in Cowley, Wyoming. He was the youngest son in a family of six children. His boyhood days were spent in school, helping his father, playing ball, and hoeing weeds in the orchard. He told of times cutting willow slips and selling them around town – he was proud to have had a hand in the beginning of so many of the old trees around town. Some of his memories were of taking the cows to the “ten” and back. His school days were made enjoyable by being in the band and, then the high light of course, playing basketball. He loved basketball! He played the game as a youth and never lost his fascination. He was on the team that won the state championship in 1923 and went on to Chicago to play. He was very proud of the gold basketball won at that time. He gave it to me and I am proud to have it! Grandpa went to every ball game he could and loved watching his grandchildren play. He continued to attend games , even after he was blind, one of his kids or grandkids would do a play by play for him. Grandpa served an honorable mission in the Eastern States. He was proud to have had Brigham H. Roberts as his mission president. It was there he met Geniel Jacobson, and five years later they were married in the Manti Temple. He attended Utah State in Logan and studied Agriculture for a short time. Grandpa and Grandma were married in 1931, the depth of the depression and life was not easy. They both worked hard and saved. Grandpa was really a “pioneer” farmer. He delighted in getting a piece of land covered with sage and greasewood and turn it into a productive farm land. He LOVED working with horses. He was probably one of the last farmers in the area to switch over to tractor power, just because he loved working with the horses. Grandpa loved all animals. He treated them like pets. In early spring , the bum lambs and orphan calves found themselves being sheltered in the basement of the house to nurse them through a cold spell. His cattle knew his voice and came in response to his call. After Grandpa became blind and had been in Arizona for five months, he wanted to know how his last horse, “old Duke” was doing. Mom led Grandpa out to the pasture fence and the normally hard to catch horse walked up to Grandpa when he heard his voice, and nuzzled his hand. The animals responded to his kindness and tender feeling he had for them. How Grandpa loved the 24th of July!!! He always wanted to be in the parade. If he couldn’t get a float together in time, he’d ride a bike. One year he put on his irrigation boots and with his shovel over his shoulder, he rode his bike with a sign that read “Sidon Irrigation”. He loved the pioneer spirit of the parade and the heritage of Cowley. The last parade Grandpa participated in was really worth the effort. He had a good friend, Mr Maranville, who faithfully cane each day to help Grandpa train a pair of matched charolais calved to be “oxen”, and pull the wagon loaded with kids and grandkids. Grandpa had a love for music. He always wanted those who came to the house to play the piano for him. “Play me a tune, he would say. He was proud of his ancestors and often spoke of William Clayton, and his playing his violin as a barter for food for his oxen on the trip to Salt Lake Valley. Grandpa loved the hymn, “Come Come Ye Saints”! , which William Clayton wrote, and we sang it whenever we were together. Grandpa loved farm sales! Cattle sales and horse sales, you name the auction or sale and he’s try his best to be there. He loved to take his grand kids with him and explain the bidding process and visit with his buddies in the sale ring. Grandpa loved to travel and meet new people. He didn’t get to do that much, just to Utah, Arizona, California, and Hawaii, where ever his children were living. He was very sociable and made friends easily. When Grandma began to have problems in her later years, Grandpa was totally dedicated and tender with her. He cared for her with such love. Many days he would make two or even three trips to the “wing” to hold her hand and calm her. Grandpa always had a sense of humor and even in a wheel chair at the nursing home,being blind, he could still crack jokes with the ladies there. The grandchildren all remember him for the “twinkle in his blue eyes.” Grandpa has a testimony of the gospel and it never wavered. He served as a counselor to Bishop James Harston for thirteen years. He loved church history and the scriptures. He was honest in his dealings and on more than one occasion was referred to as the “salt of the earth”. A couple of months ago, Bishop Harston went to visit Grandpa and it was a little difficult for Bishop Harston to get Grandpa to realize who he was, but he finally did. Their conversation was short, but Grandpa asked Brother Harston to do something for him. Speaking softly he asked Brother Harston to bear his testimony in Sacrament Meeting for him. He said, “No matter what has happened to me or will, it is still true – the gospel is all still true! Grandpa passed away on Christmas Day. He is survived by five children, 28 grandchildren and 25 great-grand children……. Born in Cowley Wyoming 14 April 1904, Stanley was the son of William Clayton Partridge and Sarah Jane Stott. The following quotes are brief snatches in his own words from his journal: “My early boyhood summers were working on the farm with Dad, hoeing weeds in the orchard and thinning beets. Dad raised sugar beets and had a two-row cultivator pulled by one horse. Dad would walk behind holding the handles and steering the cultivator. My job was to ride old Chief, who pulled the cultivator. I was to have him walk very slowly and not step on any beets. Day after day this went on, then the thinning. After the day’s work was over, I went down to the twenty, brought the cows home and helped to milk them.” Stanley had a great sense of humor and his fair share of mischief. He was a tease to his sister, Josephine. I remember him telling of him and his buddies getting a horse up on top of one of the stores on Main Street. They went to great lengths to do their mischief. Stanley played the trumpet and liked marching in the band. He played center on the High School Basketball team and in 1922 they took the State Championship, going to Chicago and playing in the National Tournament. (See his life story for more of the great details.) In November 1925 he entered the Mission Home in Salt Lake City to prepare to fulfill a mission in the Eastern States. When his mother and father took him to the train station to send him off for his mission, his mother said she would rather have him return in a “box” rather than to dishonor his name.” B.H. Roberts was his mission president for 18 months, then Henry H. Rolapp for the last six months. While on his mission he met Geniel Lillie Jacobson, a sister missionary. On his mission, his mischievous nature and fun loving spirit was evident. Mom and Dad tell of an experience where they were missionaries traveling on the same train and when the train went through a tunnel, everything became dark and so dad, seeing an opportunity for humor, called out in a loud voice, “Sister Jacobson, leave me be!” Mom was very embarrassed as you might guess. They were married 24 June 1930 in the Manti Utah Temple. Upon returning from his mission he attended Utah State University in Logan, Utah studying Agriculture. Dad was a pioneer at heart. He loved to take a piece of untamed land full of sagebrush etc, and turn it into a productive field of wheat or sugar beets. He loved all animals and treated them as pets. His love for music was great and was proud of his ancestors and often spoke of William Clayton and his playing his violin as barter for food for his oxen and also for the saints traveling west. He was so pleased when he learned that his grandchildren were learning to play musical instruments. He loved farm sales and socializing with the other gents who frequented them.
