Claudius Hamblin
Claude's parents had moved to Lyman in 1896. They came from Minersville, Utah where Claude's grandparents were buried.
The move resulted from the closing of a lead mine in Minersville. To assist the saints there, the Church had encouraged the people to homestead land available in nearby Lyman. Many of the people on homesteads continued to work in the mines, and Claude's father was killed in a mining accident in one of the mines, which was a part of the Cumberline mines near Kemmerer, Wyoming, in 1906. Some of the towns in the area had been of considerable size, however after only a few years, all the wood had been used to build or burn, and only the foundations remain.
Ora did not stay in Lyman long. She had an opportunity to teach in Snowflake Arizona her second year. She took the job so she could gain experience and broaden her horizons. They really liked her in Snowflake, and they wanted her to come back and offered her a big raise. The pull to Claude and Lyman was strong, and Ora felt like it was time for her to have a family. On June 5, 1924 Ora and Claude were married in Salt Lake City, Utah. Married women were not allowed to teach in Wyoming at that time, so love put a temporary stop to her career as a teacher.
They settled in Lyman, and over the years, they moved about from one house to another. Of interest, Dot remembers having a phone most of the time, but on the farm, they never got electricity until 1941, and their drinking water was carried from town until about 1940, when a well was dug and a pump put outside the kitchen door about 1940. In 1942 they moved to town. All were rented homes, until Ora finally convinced Claude to buy one. The farm land in that area was mostly covered with greasewood, and sagebrush. There was some farmland, but much of it was used for the grazing of sheep.
Claude had developed a bad heart condition, and the doctors warned him to get out of farming, so they sold the farm in 1946, and took a two month trip through Utah, Idaho, Oregon and down the coast of California. They visited Nean, Joseph, and Stephen in Utah, Bertha in Idaho, Mary and George in Oregon, and Effie and Tell in California. They were trying to decide where to live and what to do for a living. They were able to take Dot and Dan along on the trip, but Paul was in the army in 1946. He served in the second World War in Germany, England and France.
They spent a month in Oregon with George, and during that time, Tell and Roy Carroll and Lucille also came to Oregon for a visit as they were in the process of returning from California to Vernal to live. The result of all their travel was the purchase of a motel in Willard, Utah. They also raised tomatoes, corn, grapes, and fruit on the motel property in Willard, and in the summer they sold some produce at a roadside stand. It was hard to take all of the farmer out of Claude.
In 1948, they traded the motel in Willard for an apartment house in Salt Lake City and a home in Sandy, Utah. Ora had a great way of getting near to people, of being a friend. People who rented from her were more than just renters. At Christmas time she made many kinds of candy, and took big boxes to each tenant as a remembrance of the season.
In 1950, Claude, died of the heart attack threatened some years before.
