Once, Grandma Sage came over to Lehi's to get one of his boys to kill a chicken for her. No one was home but young Henrietta who was nine years old. Henrietta said, "I can do it for you grandma, I do that all the time." So she got the chicken for her grandmother. Lehi and Henrietta taught their children to be very self sufficient. Henrietta Hintze also said of her grandmother: "Grandmother w z the only person who gave us money. Whenever we saw her, she would give us a nickel, which meant a great deal to us in those days."' Lehi's brother, Kumen, said that one of his first johs was taking care of a team of mules for Stewart Dilly, and the shirt his mother made out of the colored calico with a black dot in it, was hought with his earnings. "After our mother had made the shirt out of the calico and I dressed up for Sunday (all my clothing up to that time had been homemade out of cloth for which mother had carded and spun the wool and got one of the weavers to weave on a hand loom, and then made it up for us - at which our dearly beloved mother was an expert - or had cut up and madeover from other used clothes she had taken from other people for her work) I doubt whether F.D.R. or H.R. ever felt the real glory of opulence as I did in taking that wonderful shirt around to 'showoff' to my playmates." He also had a pair of dark striped, snuggly fit store pants to go with the shirt."'She had a skill with her needle and she sewed early and late. She brought her family up in Spartan I n d ~ s t r y . ~ The year before Sage's death, she became an official citizen of the United States. She received a certificate which reads as follows: "Be it remembered, that on the nineteenth day of November in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety six Mrs. Sage T. Jones late of Wales in the Kingdom of Great Britain at present of Cedar City. Iron County in the State aforesaid, appeared in the Fifth Judicial District Court of the State of Utah, and applied to the said rourt to be admitted to become a citizen of the United States of America and the said bin. Sage T. Jones hwins thereupon produced to the court such evidence, made such declaration and renunciation and taken oaths as are hy said arts required; thereupon it was ordered by said court that the said Mrs. Sage T. Jones be admitted and she was accordingly admitted by the said court to be a citizen of the United States of America."' Sages only daughter; Sarah Ann, was one of the first young women to go away to school and return to teach in "The Social Hall." The first school convened Jan. 15,1883.' When Sage died, her funeral was held in the Tabernacle and there was an unusually large crowd of people in attendance. Many people came from other towns and traveled long distances to attend. Young Henrietta remembers that during her grandmother's funeral, "There
