Brother George Judd I lay my hands upon your head in the name of Jesus Christ, our Elder Brother, who has placed us here on the earth to pass through an ordeal to be tried, tormented, and buffeted by the adversary of our souls. Watch and pray, that he may not lead you and whenever he is near, command him to be behind you, and let him know you are not in cooperation with him. I lay my hands upon your head to give you a Patriarchal blessing.

Set the example for your offspring, that they may follow in your footsteps and emulate your example. May the Lord bless you that you may be a good parent to them.

Your name shall be written in the Lambs Book of Life. Be of good cheer for the Lord will bless and comfort your heart and strengthen you. Magnify the Priesthood and all these things will com to pass in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.

Life Sketch of George Judd

George Judd, the eldest child of Thomas Judd and Ann Redding, was born November 19, 1843 at South Stonechat, Hampshire, England. His family struggled financially and George learned to work hard at a very young age. They lived near a brewery and at the age of seven, George earned seven cents a week carrying beer to men who worked in the mines in the area. George=s brothers were also employed as soon as they were old enough to work.

In 1847, LDS missionaries taught the family the gospel and George's parents were baptized in June of 1848. George was five years old at the time. They were encouraged to gather with the Saints in Utah, but Thomas and Ann did not have the means to travel so far. They saved for fourteen years before they had the money to buy passage across the Atlantic. They set sail on the Manchester on the morning of April 16, 1861. The trip had some difficulties. Ann, who was nursing six-month-old Thomas Frederick, became ill with milk fever, but later recovered. On the 7th of May, they were in a terrible storm. The captain and first mate came down into the ship's hull and the mate said, We will be all drowned in a few minutes. I have been on sea 20 years, and never experienced such an awful storm before. The captain told David John, a returning missionary, AI wish if you Bishops would unite yourselves together with the saints, and pray the Lord to save us, and have mercy on us, for I have heard that your people can perform miracles, and if you can now is the time one is needed. Brother John assured the captain The Lord will not suffer us, 400 Saints to perish in the deep, so do not be alarmed, God will preserve us. They gathered the Saints together and offered up a petition to God to quiet the storms. The sea became perfectly calm within half an hour. The Judd's arrived safely in New York harbor on May 14, 1861.

The family's funds were entirely depleted when they arrived in America. Thomas and his older sons began immediately to look for work in the area. George got a job in a bakery. He worked with a Mister Toyne, and the two often played tricks on each other as they worked. One evening after they had retired, Mister Toyne sneaked over to George's bedside and slipped a large handful of dough inside one of his boots. The next morning when George got up to work, he put his foot in the boot and dough oozed up his leg. It's likely that not many days passed by before George found an opportunity to repay his friend with a trick of his own.

George also worked in a leather shop where he made leather gun scabbards (holsters). With rumors of a civil war circulating in the country, the demand for leather supplies was increasing and George had plenty of work. Having been in the United States for only a year, George's father, Thomas, had no intentions of himself or his sons participating in a civil war, so he hastily gathered the family's belongings and joined a Latter-day Saint wagon team headed for Utah. They left Florence, Nebraska August 8, 1862. The company suffered from lack of food and other necessities because most of the converts in the group were poor and did not have many supplies. They entered the Salt Lake Valley October 17, 1862. The family settled in Upton, which was several miles east of the Coalville in northeastern Utah. When George traveled through Coalville he was very ill with mountain fever. He stopped at that place and was cared for by one of the women who lived there. He often told the story of how she killed her only chicken to make some broth for him. He felt her care saved his life.

George helped his father build a home in Upton and then several years later the family relocated to Hoytsville and he helped build a new home in that place. There was some trouble with Indians in the Hoytsville area. George enlisted in a company of cavalry in 1866 and 1867. Members of the group patrolled the area and were prepared to aid citizens in the case of any attack.

George did several different kinds of work in Utah. He helped on his father's farm and helped build a fort at Hoytsville. He later received a call from Brigham Young to act as a teamster and go back to Missouri to bring converts or freight to Utah. This call was a paid job but was also considered the same as a mission call and was not refused. George mainly hauled freight from the end of the railroad line in Missouri back to Utah. The journey became shorter and shorter as the line was built further west. The freighters traveled in trains of companies just as the emigrant companies did and usually traveled with 25 wagons at a time. George crossed and recrossed the plains many times in this work. It was impossible to haul freight during the fall and winter, so George found other work during that part of the year.

One year, probably in 1869, George began working in the town of Henneferville for a Charles Richins. While there, he became friends with a John Curtis Paskett, who was also employed by Mr. Richins and had recently arrived from England. George was introduced to John's sister, Jane, to whom George was immediately attracted. The two were married December 6, 1869 in the Salt Lake Endowment House.

After their marriage they settled in Henneferville and lived there for the remainder of their lives, except for a couple of years spent at Upton in the old home of George's parents. George acquired some land and began growing hay, grain, and potatoes. Jane and George built a two-room log home which faced the Mormon trail which thousands of people had followed into the Salt Lake Valley. The house was typical of its time: the spaces between the logs were chinked with mud, the roof was made of boards covered with dirt, and there were two small windows in the front. Jane used to stay up on rainy nights placing pans around on the beds and floor to catch the dirty water as it dripped through the cracks in the boards. They had little furniture and it was all homemade. Slowly, the couple made improvements to the home. They eventually shoveled the dirt off the roof and replaced it with wood shingles, which greatly improved the state of things when it rained. As more children were added and they needed more room, they built a lean-to on the back of the house which gave them more room for a kitchen as well as a combination of storeroom and bedroom.

The family had a large garden which provided many vegetables and fruits. Before winter, George always butchered a pig and for several days the entire family was kept busy preparing the meat so it would keep throughout the cold season. They used almost everything for food. They also kept cows so they had milk and butter. Jane churned butter and sold it in stores. She also made lye soap with which she washed the family's clothes and scrubbed the house.

George was active in church work and worked as a visiting ward teacher (home teacher) for many years. He was set apart as assistant to the Sunday School Superintendent in 1896 and served in that capacity until 1900. His services were also sought in building roads and bridges. He worked as road supervisor for several years and also assisted in building the railroad in that area. In 1908, George was elected to be a school trustee and helped direct the building of a new brick schoolhouse. Several years later, he and Jane moved into a new frame house that had such luxuries as electric lights and water pumped into the house.

As George got older, he suffered much from rheumatism in his legs. Eventually one leg became so crippled he was forced to use a cane and he walked with a limp. He also suffered from diabetes. George Judd passed away October 24, 1923, at the age of 81.

Note

Conversion and testimony of Thomas and Ann Judd

Thomas and Ann Judd were converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints by missionaries who were preaching in England, At first, Thomas thought it was a shame that those young men were forced to come so far from their homes and teach doctrines that were not true, so he took his Bible to prove to them they were wrong. It was not long before the young missionaries proved to him and his family that they were teaching the truth. Thomas and Ann were baptized in the summer of 1848.
