  CARLIE LYMAN CALLISTER Source: Book titled Almon Robison, Utah Pioneer 1861 Thomas Callister called by Brigham Young to serve as Bishop in Fillmore. 1861 Almon Robison was 16 years old. 1861 Carlie Lyman was 10 years old 1865 Almon and cousin Volney King sent by Thomas Callister to Salt Lake City to learn to be telegraph operators. 1867 Almon’s sister Adelia Robison marries Carlie’s brother Platte DeAlton Lyman in Salt Lake City Endowment House as he was leaving for his mission to England. 1867 Almon and Platte DeAlton leave from Salt Lake City for missions to England. 1868 Almon return home from mission early – is excommunicated. Quote: Ova Peterson quoted as saying: “Carlie loved Almon but he had failed to put over his mission for want of a testimony…” (Ch. VII) Quote: Albert R Lyman, Carlie’s nephew, expressed concerns about the way Almon was treated in relation to his mission, but stated: “… they cut him off from the Church for having left his mission field. And because he was cut off from the Church, his sweetheart, my father’s sister Carlie, broke off her engagement with him, although their love was mutual.” 1871 Carlie marries Volney King (Almon’s cousin). 1871 Volney King’s journal: “On the tenth of May 1871, I started for Salt Lake City in company with Eliza Lyman and her daughters Carlie and Lucy. On the 15th of May Carlie and I were married by Pres. D. H. Wells. We attended the theatre a couple of times and took a short ride on the cars, bought a few things to keep house with, then returned home. The day we returned home I found Carlie dissatisfied at what I know not. I asked her reasons, she said nothing. A few days more and she had rejected the house I had prepared for her. She said she would rather stay with her mother and not resume the responsibility of a wife and of keeping house. So went my passion and pride fled at the appearance of dissatisfaction without reason or forethought. A bill of divorcement was the consequence. 1871 A short time after Carlie’s divorce, she, her mother, and sister Lucy moved to Oak City to live with Eliza’s sister Caroline in her home. 1878 Carlie married Thomas Callister, Stake patriarch, February 14, 1878. 1878 From Eliza’s journal: “October 13th. Started to Deseret with my Sister Caroline and her son Walter and my daughter Lucy. Went about 1 mile and met my daughter Carlie coming to visit me. She and a little boy were alone but she was so homesick to see me she was willing to run some risks rather than stay there any longer without me…” 1879 Carlie’s son, Joseph Platte Callister, was born in Oak City, Utah March 7, 1879. He is Carlie’s only child and Thomas’ 32 child. 1879 Carlie passes away March 20, 1879 in her mother’s home in Oak City. 1879 Carlie left her baby son Joseph Platte Callister with her mother Eliza Maria Partridge (Smith) Lyman to be raised. This she did until she passed away when he was six years old. He then went to live with his uncle Joseph (Jody) Alvin Lyman. 1880 Thomas Callister passed away at his home in Fillmore on December 1, 1880. ----------------------------- Posted on: Millard Co.

T Callister. (They had a home in Deseret, which Eliza visited from time to time.) Eliza described it this way: "Deseret is to me a doleful looking place, cannot see anything but sand and grease wood." (Compared to Oak City where Eliza's home was, Deseret must have appeared to be a wasteland.) ----------------------------------- Eliza Journal: October 13th. Started to Deseret with my Sister Caroline and her son Walter and my daughter Lucy. Went about 1 mile and met my daughter Carlie coming to visit me. She and a little boy were alone but she was so homesick to see me she was willing to run some risks rather than stay there any longer without me. Received a letter from her last week with the following verses enclosed which although they are not her own composition are expressive of the feelings she cherished for her Mother: I'll never find another God bless my dear good mother What er my fortune be I’ll never find another Who will be so true to me Her hair which once was raven Is lined with silver now And crafty time has graven Deep wrinkles on her brow Yet though her brow bears traces Of troubles and of care To me my Mother's face is The fairest of the fair So tender and forgiving As gentle as a dove A life were not worth living Without my Mother's love How often when complaining Of life's perplexing care When naught there seemed remaining Save countless ills to bear My Mother's gentle chiding Has turned my thought above And roused a faith abiding In God's redeeming love God bless my Dear good Mother Bright be each later year I’ll never find another Whom I may hold so dear Oh how my life would alter If Mother were not near And how my heart would falter With out her words of cheer [Oct.] 14th. When we met Carlie yesterday we turned back to Oak Creek and stayed till this morning when Lucy and I went with Carlie home to Deseret. The wind blowing furiously and we had a very uncomfortable time going. Volney King is written about in family books, so I have been able to learn a little about him. He was a good man, hardworking, and completely devoted to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It makes me sad that most of his children did not follow in that devotion. My father has an early memory of looking out the window and seeing his grandpa (Volney King) lying face-down on the ground. It was winter, and Dad wondered why Grandpa was picking weeds in the winter. That question got the attention of his grandmother (Eliza Syrett King), who got help from neighbors to pick her husband up and bring him to the house. Of course, he was not picking weeds but had fallen down on the way back from the outhouse.
