<span style="font-size: large;">Emma May Layton, daughter of Harry Wilford Layton and Emma Reay, was born July 16, 1917, in Central, Graham County, Arizona. She was the tenth child in a family of thirteen children. May was in poor health all her life. Emma had
what as known as the "World War Flu" before May was born. So, when May
was born, she had a bad heart and at ten days old, she went into
convulsions. She had so many of them and they were so hard that the doctor told
Emma that May couldn't possibly live. May did live...but it left her with brain
damage. Doctor after doctor in Arizona, Utah, and California examined
May but none seemed to be able to help. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">May was a beautiful baby with dark eyes and lots of dark curly hair that
Emma could curl over her finger in ringlets. When the doctor first saw May he begged Emma to give her to him. He promised he would love and
take good care of her and make sure she had the best of everything. Emma
couldn't give up her baby. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">May grew to be a beautiful child. She was loveable. She enjoyed children
and especially loved to rock for hour upon hour one of the babies of one of her brothers or
sisters. She liked to do dishes, set a table for a meal and could pick
out the pajamas of the younger children...Britt, Freda, and Nadine. May
never got them mixed up. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Emma always kept May dressed lovely. This seemed to be a must and May
loved nice things. One day Emma found her putting on all her dresses,
one on top of the other. It was hard to get them off without tearing
them. <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In 1928 May wanted to go to school so Emma made arrangements for Nadine
to go to school and take May to class with her. Prudence Fyffe was the teacher in that
first grade classroom and May loved her. She called her teacher "My
Fyffe". One day while May was in school she went into convulsions. May
never wanted to go back to school again. "That school made me sick" she
would say, so Emma didn't insist on her going back. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Later, in 1932, May went to a special school in Phoenix. Here they
taught her to use a weaving loom for making rugs. At the school May had
her own chores to do and learned to make her bed and work in the
kitchen, which she loved to do. May soon tired of this school and wanted
to come home. Harry and Emma went to Phoenix and brought her home. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">May was never left alone and someone in the family was appointed to look
after her. One morning Emma sat down to the sewing machine. She had
quite a lot of sewing to do and didn't want to be disrupted. As Emma was
sewing, she felt a prompting to go to the backyard. She stopped and again
the prompting came. Leaving her sewing, Emma walked to the back door.
There, on the side of the well, little fingers were gripping the edge. May was
going down the well to get a drink. She had already dropped the granite
cup in the well and she was going down to get it. Terror and anxiety
struck Emma, but with care and a prayer in her heart, she put her hands
over the little hands of May, and brought her up into her arms. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">At one time, Luke, Chris, May, Britt, and Nadine had the measles...all
at the same time. The children were put in the large dining room so Emma
could keep an eye on them. May got up and went out the front door. Emma
found her in the yard. It put a scare into Emma because it was believed
that children with measles must be confined in a semi-dark room and at
an even temperature, so they wouldn't take a cold and get pneumonia or
blind their eyes. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">May was a nervous child but she was good to take her medication, which
was a concern. Emma didn't want her sick, but May always seemed to be in
good health. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There was a school teacher, Wilford Hamblin, who was interested in May
and would ask about her often. He said the human body made a physical
change every seven years. May was in her late teens at this time and Mr.
Hamblin said May would make one of her biggest changes upon reaching her
21st birthday. In her 21st year May began to fail in health.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, it was geting hard to get May to take her medication. She lost interest in the
grandchildren and babies. She used to carry pennies in her hand and no
matter what she did she had that penny. One day she asked for a match
box. Her loose "pe-nies" were put in the box with her other pennies, tied
in a large handkerchief. May handed them to her mother saying she
didn't want them anymore. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">May never asked for the pennies again. This was the spring and she died
June 1, 1940. May loved life as she knew it, but was ready to go back to
her Heavenly Father.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">When I was growing up I knew I had a Great Aunt Laura who died before I was born but that was all I knew. My grandmother, Ida Norton Layton, kept a photograph on the wall of her home of her sister, Laura, yet never spoke of her much. I heard many years later, in hushed tones, that Aunt Laura had died young of breast cancer. Those words struck terror in my heart. Even though no one in my direct family has yet to share her diagnosis, the thought of it is always in the back of our minds. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Laura Kay Norton was the daughter of John Edward Norton, Sr. and Mary Etta Webster. She was born January 1, 1908 at Central, Graham, Arizona, United States. She was the fifth of nine children. Her siblings were John Edward, Jr., Frank Lloyd, Ida Isabell, Hazel, Henry Dee, Elbert Riley, Erma, and Velda Norton. Central is a very small farming community in Southeastern Arizona. She attended school there along with her siblings. She lived at home until the time of her marriage. I wish I knew more.</span><span style="font-size: large;"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

up for a challenge? I've started "52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks," a
challenge to blog (or write somewhere) once a week about a specific
ancestor. It could be a story, a biographical sketch, a research problem
-- something specific to that ancestor. You know you want to write more
about your ancestors, so let's encourage each other to do that! <a href="http://www.nostorytoosmall.com/posts/challenge-52-ancestors-in-52-weeks/" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">http://<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>www.nostorytoosmall.com/<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>posts/<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>challenge-52-ancestors-in-5<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>2-weeks/</a></span></span></span></span><br />

I am starting with my maternal Grandmother <b>Ida Isabell Norton Layton </b>1903-1996 from Central, Graham, Arizona, United States. She loved Family History and shared it with me. She could remember the dates and places of every father, mother, brother, sister, child and grandchild. She could pull that information out of her memory, anytime she was asked. She told me that she always wanted to write the story of her family but didn't think she was a good enough writer to do it, so it didn't get done. She collected lots of genealogy through the years though, so that is going to help link the stories together. When the Central, Arizona Centennial was approaching the town decided they wanted to publish a book to commemorate the event. It has the town's history and life sketches of the Pioneer settlers and the then present-day residents. Grandma Layton was one of the old-timers called upon to share her experiences and verify those of others. Here is one of the stories she shared.</span></span></span></span><br />

<h2 class="pageTitle" id="objectIcon">
</h2>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Many couples married in the early part of the century were subject to
"shivaree" pranks. This old tradition has fortunately died out.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">31
December 1921 the double wedding of Lloyd Norton and Vera Cluff, Ralph
Layton and Ida Norton was "shivareed". The ceremony was held at the home
of of John and Etta Norton, parents of Lloyd and Ida. Only the parents
and grandparents of both couples were invited. While Bishop Edsil
Allred was performing the ceremony, all the brothers and sisters and
cousins gathered outside the window and stared in. Sister Emma Layton,
Ralph's mother, reached up and pulled down the window blind, but that
did not seem to help much. As soon as the ceremony was over, Ted Norton
gave a loud shrill whistle. The shivaree crowd rushed in and grabbed
Lloyd and Ralph. Vera and Ida rushed into the bedroom, changed their
wedding dresses, and made it to the car only to be pulled out. The
crowd drove off with the grooms, leaving the brides standing in the
road. After leaving Ralph and Lloyd stranded that night at Link
Ferguson's goat ranch some 30 or 40 miles away, the group returned.
They had warned Lorenzo, Wallace, and Jessie Jenkins, Zola Claridge,
and others who happened to be playing for a New Year's Eve dance in
Klondyke that evening, not to pick up the grooms and bring them back to
Central.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In the morning, Ralph and Lloyd went to the road and
waited for the band to come along. The grooms caught them on a hill
where the Model T had slowed, trying to get up the hill. They jumped on
the running boards of the car and rode a little way until the men in
the car finally said to them, "Well, you might as well get in."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Back
in Central, New Year's Day being Sunday, Vera and Ida attended Sunday
School and Sacrament Meeting. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the
disconsolate brides started walking toward the center of town. They
were met by their husbands who were driving Ralph's father's car. The
girls jumped in and the four of them did not return to town until after
midnight.</span></span><br />
