10692. Albert Uriah MINER

Albert Uriah Miner was born August 10, 1865, at Fairview, Utah, probably in the old Rock Fort. His parents were Mormon Miner and Emeline Phoebe Curtis. He was named for his two grandfathers, Albert Miner and Uriah Curtis.  He was the fourth member of a family of thirteen children.  As a child he was known as Allie. As a man he was known as A.U.

A.U. lived in pioneer days in Sanpete County and worked hard with the primitive farm machinery. He herded cattle for many years and said he knew every bush and tree between Indianola and Birch Creek. From the time he was old enough to sit astride a horse, he rode the range with cattle, and when he was seventeen, he started riding the trail to Wyoming.  

A.U. vowed that his children would never have to live the hard life he lived on the range and pulling weeds as he pulled them in the church garden by the thousands. For this reason he never grew beets nor planted a garden where weeds would have to be pulled.   A.U. accidentally had his left thumb chopped off when he as a youngster while helping his older brother, Mart, chop wood, Allie pushed a small log forward on the chopping block. The ax came down on the joint of his left thumb. He went into the house with a part of his thumb hanging by a piece of skin. His mother put his thumb back in place, wrapped it firmly, After several weeks, It healed completely although it remained somewhat stiff.

As a young man A. U. worked on the railroads that were built through Sanpete and Carbon counties.  He also worked some in the coal mines, and in the timber.  Three winters he worked at Scofield and helped ship a million and a half feet of lumber.  Every spring he went out and sheared sheep.

A.U. married Maria Anderson in the Logan Temple November 10, 1886.  He was twenty-one. Their first child, Della, was born on January 10, 1888. His wife died a week later and the little girl lived only two years, dying of "cholera infantum” so called from eating green plums.

A.U. went on a mission in 1890 to the Eastern States, laboring in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. He was president of the conference and for some time acting president of the mission.

After his mission A.U. attended the Brigham Young Academy, although he had only an eighth grade education. Then, he taught for one year in Spring City and a year in Fairview.   He served as principal in Fairview for eight years and was well liked by his teachers. He was a self-educated man who liked to read and study. He read a great deal in the scriptures and in philosophy. He also liked the way ideas were expressed in poetry.  At one time, he owned the largest private library in the state south of Provo.

A.U. taught in the same school in Fairview where his future wife was teaching. On June 23, 1897, he married Eliza Estella Day in the Manti Temple. To them were born the following twelve children: Laurel,  Albert Lee, (who died  of pneumonia, after having  measles),  Glen Bryant, Verda Cloy,  Artie Uriah, I1a Estella,  Ellis Devere, Helen Floy,  Louie Jean,  Delbert Lamar,  Mark Day,  and Ernest Montel.

Following his tenure as principal in Fairview,  he became Superintendent of Sanpete County Schools for six years. He drove from town to town in horse and buggy. In 1908 he helped A.C. Nelson revise the state course of study.

During all the years he taught school, A.U. was interested in the Miner Brothers' farm and dairy a mile south of Fairview.   He always had a few cows to milk and owned one of the first purebred Jersey sires in the county. In 1908, he bought the farm and dairy from his father and brothers for $16,000. He continued to operate the creamery and bought milk and cream which were made into butter and shipped to Salt Lake, Provo, and even Denver, Colo.  His family lived on the farm in summer and in town in the winter. In 1910 the farm was rented to a Scandinavian and the next year the creamery burned down. A.U. sold insurance the years he rented the farm but in March 1914, the family moved to the farm to stay. They lived in the little log house until a lovely new brick home was built in 1919-20 with private electric and water systems.   They  lived there for the next twenty years.  Besides the dairy, which he equipped with a milker and other modern machinery, he raised pigs and had four thousand laying hens, and for a few years he had a small herd of Rambouillet sheep.

In the fall of 1932 the large barn and stables with all the year's crop of hay and a few tons of grain burned up.  This was caused by spontaneous combustion.  It burned over $10,000 worth of property on which he received about $2500 insurance.  It was a very hard blow to A. U. financially, but he rebuilt his barns and kept right on in the dairy business.

The most remarkable aspect of this tragedy was the dauntless spirit of the Miners. At their advanced age it was a terrible ordeal for them to see their life savings go up in smoke. Many would have quit and given up the task as hopeless, but not A.U. and Estella. For one day they were dazed, but the next day their pioneer spirit came to the rescue. They started to rebuild and after some months there were new dairy barns better than the old, and also new equipment. The fire delayed their retirement, but they showed they had the fortitude to come back with tremendous odds against them. They knew it was important to rebuild because six of their children had not finished their education.

During the early 1920’s, A. U. was made high councilman of North Sanpete Stake, which position he held for sixteen years.  He was a Sunday School teacher for a great many years and held various other positions.  For eight years he was a member of the school board of the North Sanpete School District.  His wife, Estella, was on the Stake Relief Society Board for 29 years.  

A.U. was a spiritually minded man. He believed that intelligence and personal purity would exalt a person. He believed firmly in prayer. In the mission field his companions said he “bothered the Lord too much.”  He also was able to heal 2 of his sons through the power of prayer.

The family were all growing up and leaving for school and other work than the farm, so in December of 1939,  they decided to sell the place to Hilden Tucker of Fairview. When the Miners sold their farm, their children were all married or away at school. They spent their remaining years visiting and living with their children. A.U. died July 14, 1944 in Berkeley, California, at his daughter Ila's home. He was seventy-nine years old. He died of cancer of the stomach that had spread to his liver. He suffered very little and did not fear death. His funeral services were held at Fairview, Utah. His six sons were the pallbearers.   All of his eleven children and twenty-four of his twenty-eight grandchildren were at the funeral. He was buried in the lower cemetery at Fairview, Utah.

A.U. and his wife wanted a large and intelligent family, a good home, a college education for their children, and the money to accomplish these ideals. These desires became a reality. All of their children earned college degrees and entered professions
