By Ethel Romney Peterson
The family tree from which Miles Park Romney sprang had its roots planted in English soil centuries before the family came to America. They belonged to the middle class. Miles Romney, father of Miles Park Romney, married Elizabeth Gaskell. Miles Park Romney was the fifth child of seven children and fourth son born to this couple.
Miles and Elizabeth, on their way to market, saw a group of people assembled on a street corner. They were curious as to what attracted the crowd. They discovered it was a religious gathering and that the preacher was a Mormon missionary from America. They learned later that it was Orson Hyde, an Apostle, to whom they listened. This was in 1837. In September, 1939, Miles Romney, his wife and son George were baptized.
The family left England in 1841 to gather with the Saints in Nauvoo. It took fifty-one days to reach New Orleans. Miles Park Romney was born August 18, 1843, in Nauvoo, Illinois, a little less than one year before the martyrdom of the Prophet Joseph Smith and his brother, Hyrum. Three years after his birth, the Saints were driven from their beloved city.
Destitute, the family sought employment among strangers in three or four places, finally finding temporary employment in St. Louis, Missouri, where they remained until 1850. Then they were on the move again, this time to join the Saints in Salt Lake City, a distance of nearly two thousand miles. The hardships and trials of this journey no doubt had a profound effect in molding the character of this lad. While a young, barefoot boy, he herded cows at the base of the Wasatch Mountains with other boys. One of them was Joseph F. Smith, who later became President of the Church.
Because of the need to help support the family, Miles P.'s education was neglected. He went to school but a few terms in his entire life. In fact, he never entered a schoolroom after he was twelve. Yet, through his own efforts he became a well-educated man.
During the Johnston Army episode, his brother George was a captain among those sent by President Young to harass the federal army and keep them from entering the city. Miles P., only fourteen then, had great aspirations for military service and followed his brother several miles up the canyon east of the city, much to his brother's displeasure. No argument proved sufficient until Captain George thought of a scheme which worked. He wrote a letter to President Young asking that the boy be kept home. He told Miles he had a special message for the President which should be delivered. Miles accepted the mission proudly, having no idea of the contents. He was kept home.
In those early days great stress was placed by President Young and other leaders upon the importance of early marriage. At one time President Young said, "Let every man over eighteen years of age take a wife and then go to work with your hands and cultivate the land or labor in some mechanical business or some honest trade to make a living for yourself and those who are dependent on you for subsistence." An ardent admirer of President Young, Miles P., at the age of eighteen, married Hannah Hood Hill. Just three weeks after the marriage, Miles P. was called on a mission to the British Isles.
On April 9, 1862, he left and on the twenty-sixth of July arrived in Liverpool. He labored first in the Manchester and London districts, and finally was made President of the Cheltenham Conference, a position he held until his release in April 1865. Miles P. had barely arrived in the mission field when he was called upon to speak. He stood and faced the audience, but not one word could he say. He got up the second time with the same result. He did not give up. The third time words came haltingly from his quivering lips. The audience may not have been much enlightened, but they would not forget. The young missionary had achieved a victory that was of untold value to him in his ministry and throughout his life. His fluent speech and magnetic personality, with his implicit faith in the Gospel, contributed to his success as a missionary. During his mission he became very ill and was forced to go to a doctor, who told him he had but six months to live. But he did not give up. Every night he prayed that he might be able to complete his mission and return to his loved ones. His prayers were answered.
On the ship Belle Wood, on which he sailed for home, were a large number of Saints, organized into nine Wards. Miles P. presided over one of them. In November 1865, on his return to Salt Lake City, he was greeted by his wife and daughter, Isabelle, who was only two years old, and whom he had never seen.
In 1867 he entered plural marriage by taking to wife Carrie Lambourne. In October 1867, with 157 other heads of families, he was called to settle St. George, where he was employed as a skilled workman. He worked on the St. George Tabernacle which was completed in 1871. When it was decided that a temple should be built in St. George, his father, Miles Romney, was appointed to superintend the work. He was assisted by Miles P. On one occasion President Young in a public meeting thus addressed Elder Romney: "Brother Romney, would you like to go to Heaven?" The answer came, "Yes, Brother Brigham, I think I should like to go there." "Then," said President Young, "you must join the Order and take charge of all the building in southern Utah.
On November 8, 1869, Miles P. was ordained a High Priest and set apart as a member of the High Council. In September 1873, he married Catherine Jane Cottam in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City
In 1881 he was called by the First Presidency to leave St. George and settle in St. Johns, Arizona. While there he acted as First Counselor to Bishop David King Udall and edited and published a newspaper. He was a member of the Dramatic Association and a leading contractor and builder in this-area. But on account of trouble with land claim jumpers, and with the consent of the First Presidency, he returned with his plural families to St. George. There, political conditions made it necessary to leave that section of the country.
After only three weeks, he left with his wife Annie and her three children for Mexico. There they settled in Camp Turley on the Casas Grandes River, but moved with the camps to Old Town on the Piedras Verdes River and were among the first settlers of Colonia Juarez. On June 15, 1887, when the Juarez Ward was organized, he became First Counselor to Bishop George W. Sevey. One of his first cultural moves in this new community was to organize a Dramatic Association. He was fresh from St. George where, according to reports, he "bestrode the theatrical world like a giant colossus." He was eager to reproduce some of his successes. He wanted to set a standard for excellence in play production and introduce refugee settlers to a high standard of entertainment.
He and his boys made a stage for his plays. On it were presented high classed dramas to an appreciative audience, the climax of which was Othello, in which he played the leading role of the swarthy Moor, a crowning to previous roles he had directed and acted. He was ever the actor, rising to heights of oratory on patriotic occasions, thundering Gospel and moral teachings from the pulpit, dramatically acting as Marshal of the Day for national celebrations. He led the parades with plumes waving and sword flashing with military precision, and all done so enthusiastically that one was to wonder if the occasion was created for him, or was he created to make the occasion something special. The fruits of his efforts are still alive in a posterity rich with public speakers, dramatic coaches and play readers, all bordering on the professional. All point back to his reverence for the spoken word and his love for pure undefiled speech.
[Shortly thereafter on February 2, 1897, Miles Park Romney married a young widow, Emily "Millie" Henrietta Eyring Snow, daughter of Henry Eyring and Maria Bonnelli, and widow of William Snow, a son of Apostle Erastus Fairbanks Snow and Julia Josephine Spencer Snow. While a young man of 35 years Elder William Snow died on September 10, 1892, leaving his wife with two small children, Theresa Snow and Beatrice Snow. All the families lived close together near Colonia Dublan in Mexico.
Miles P. Romney had direct supervision over the building of the initial Juarez Stake Academy structure which later became the elementary school. One year after the laying of the foundation of the building, it was ready for occupancy. By the turn of the century, Miles found his carpenter shop against the eastern hills too small to permit expansion necessary for his growing family. He sold his holdings in Colonia Juarez, bought a huge tract of land on the eastern bank of the Casas Grandes River, and moved his families into homes built separately for them on this property. Here he lived for the remainder of his life in relative comfort and affluence. In 1902 he was appointed President of the Stake High Priest Quorum and ordained a Patriarch by Apostle Matthias F. Cowley.
In February 1904, acting in his office as President of the High Priest Quorum, he went to Morelos. His wife Catherine and son Vernon accompanied him on this trip. The strain of the trip was wearing, and he was not feeling well when they left Sonora. But they arrived home safely. As he retired that night a strange feeling came over him. Fearful he was going to die, he suggested that the rest of the family be sent for. Before they arrived, he passed away. His wives, having seen him miraculously restored to life once before, sent for the Dublán Bishopric who administered to him, but without results. This was on February 25, 1904. He was buried in Colonia Dublán.
High-minded ambition still lives in his posterity, many of whom have given further distinction to his name. A grandson is a member of the Quorum of the Twelve, and a granddaughter is the wife of a member of the same Quorum. Two sons and two grandsons have served as Mission Presidents, two sons and two grandsons have been Stake Presidents. Two grandsons have in turn been Bishops of the Juarez Ward where he officiated as Counselor. Missionaries by the dozens have carried the Gospel to nations in honor. Politically, a grandson was governor of a state and considered a candidate for President of the United States. Another grandson is a millionaire farm implement dealer. Others of his descendants are pioneering in colony orcharding, and the packing and marketing of fruit. Their orchards have spread through the Casas Grandes Valley. Another grandson operates a several million peso turkey processing plant. One son is an,author of note. Another grandson is an internationally famous physical chemist with many distinctive awards for his contributions to the scientific world. There are deans of universities, teachers at many levels, as well as craftsmen and artists. All of these display Miles P. Romney's devotion to excellence.

Hannah Hood Hill was born on 9 July 1842 at Toronto, Ontario, Canada to Archibald Newell Hill and Isabella Hood Hill. A few months later, Parley P. Pratt preached the gospel to their family. They joined the Church and arrived in Nauvoo in November of that year. Hannah's mother died in Winter Quarters in 1847, and her father left his three small children with relatives while he went to the valley to prepare a new home for his family. In 1849, Hannah arrived in the valley with her aunt. In 1862, Hannah married Miles Park Romney on 10 May 1862 at the Salt Lake City Endowment House.
Hannah attended the first Sunday School organized in Salt Lake City. Brother Ballantyne was the superintendent and she was also in the first 24th of July Pioneer Day parade held in Salt Lake City.
Her husband left for England one month after their marriage. She supported herself and their first little girl for the next three and a half years.
In 1867 the family moved to St. George, Utah. Hannah was president of the Relief Society in St. George, Utah. She was a counselor to Minerva Snow in the Stake Relief Society in St. George. Hannah willingly entered into polygamy when Miles Park Romney married four other wives.
In 1885, President John Taylor advised Brother Romney to go to Mexico, to help establish settlements there. He was to first take with him only one of his families, the one with the fewest children. Hannah stayed in St. Johns, Arizona. In 1886, Brother Romney sent his eighteen-year-old son, Will, back from Mexico to bring Hannah to the colonies.She traveled alone with her children in a wagon from St. Johns, Arizona to the colonies of Mexico through Indian territory.
The following excerpts are from her autobiography.]
I sold what household furniture I had for very little, got another team and wagon and in March, 1886 I started for Mexico. It had been snowing in the mountains for about three weeks before I left St. Johns. I expected company to go with me from there to Mexico, but when I went to see Brother Skousen he was not ready to go so I had to start out alone. When I got as far as Nutrioso Brother and Sister Pace lived there. They were dear friends of mine and insisted on my staying over for several days. Brother Pace said, "Sister Romney, aren't you crazy, starting out on this journey with your small children? Did you know that Geronimo, the renegade Apache chief, is on the warpath?" I told him I guessed I wasn't afraid of crazy people so I would have to start on this journey and trust in our Heavenly Father to see us to the end
.Will took a job herding stock for some of the ranches so he did not go with me. Brother and Sister Pace were very kind to us. She had me bake bread, make cookies and gave me butter and meat, etc., to use on the journey.
The first night after we left Nutrioso we camped in a beautiful grove. It snowed all night and in the morning the boys built a fire and we dried our bedding. We had some terrible roads to travel over, snow and mud often up to the hubs of our wagon. One day a blizzard started and it got so cold I wrapped the smaller children in their bedding and made them as comfortable as I could. Then I got out to walk to keep warm. We saw a ranch house in the distance so we made for that point. The boys went in and built a fire while I took the children in and got supper. I made the boys' beds in the house and then took the larger children and slept in the wagon. I got up several times during the night to see that the children were all right. When I got up in the morning there were icicles on the water barrels a foot long.
After breakfast we hitched up our team. We did not know a mile of the road. That night we got to Apache Hill, about sundown. One of the boys went ahead and returned saying it would be almost impossible to get down the mountain that night, so I carried all the bedding I could and loaded the children with enough provisions to last us. Miles [age 17, and my great-grandfather] thought he could get down with one team so the boys cut down a tree and chained it to the back of the wagon to keep it from tipping over. I took a lantern and went ahead to light the road. When we got to a level spot on the mountain it was about 10 o'clock and I thought we had better camp. I got the children supper and put them to bed.
I sat there considering our condition -- way off in the mountains camping right on an Indian trail. I assure you I did not do much sleeping, but the Lord protected us and in the morning the boys went on the top of the mountain to get the other wagon we had left there. When I saw them coming I held my breath but they got down all right without breaking even a singletree. That day we traveled on and struck the Frisco River. It ran through the canyon for miles and miles. We crossed that river forty-one times.
[Hannah Romney and her family continued their journey. They met others along the way who warned them that it was too dangerous to travel alone. But Hannah continued to put her trust in Heavenly Father.]
Just before we got to the border of Mexico we passed through Deming, New Mexico. One of the children was barefooted. As I only had $5.00 in cash I bought him a pair of shoes and a pound of sugar. When we got within a few miles of Ascension [a Mexican town near Colonia Diaz] several Mexicans rode up to our camp. Neither I nor the boys could talk Spanish but they made us understand that they were officers and had come to escort us into Ascension. We drove up to the Custom House.
[The Mexican officials said that Hannah had to pay $25.00 duty for her cook stove. She explained that she had nothing and offered to leave the stove. The officials did not want the stove, but made her promise to pay the duty within thirty days. Hannah traveled on to Colonia Juarez and finally was reunited with her husband, Miles Park Romney.]
My husband was delighted to see us all safe in Mexico. When I told him that they had charged me $25.00 duty on the stove, and had given me thirty days to pay it, he said that was more money than he had had since he came to Mexico. That was a worry to me thinking that I had brought more worry and trouble to him. In a few days a Mr. Galvin came to the camp inquiring for a carpenter. He was going to fix up a ranch a few miles down country and wanted some building done. My husband took the contract and got the money to pay the duty.
Brother Romney had built me a stockhouse with a dirt roof. When it rained we had mud and water coming down. He put some posts in the ground, wove willows in one side, put a carpet on the other side with willows on top, and made me a kitchen for our stove. I had brought some flour sacks with me. I sewed them together and lined part of our room where my bed was so that the dirt wall didn't look so bad. We had two boxes put together for a table and some round logs sawed for chairs and a dirt floor. That was a very crude home, different from what I had been used to, but I was thankful for it as my dear children and I would be with their father and we could live in peace, with no marshals to molest us or separate us again; but I did not like Mexico even though I tried to be satisfied and make the best of my surroundings.
(From Our Pioneer Heritage, Vol. 5, p.273-77)
When, in Mexico she served as the Primary President, teaching the children to sing and pray. She taught the girls to sew and crochet and the boys to be responsible citizens.
Hannah grew a fine garden and for eight years ran a farm in Casa Grandes with her sons. They raised hundreds of bushels of wheat and corn. She had chickens and turkeys and sold butter, eggs, and molasses.
Hannah states in her autobiography, "Most of the way across the Plains I traveled bare-footed and bare-headed." From childhood to the end of her life, she suffered every hardship known to pioneer women.
They were the parents of eleven children: (See below)
Written by Thomas Cottam Romney, Ph.D.:
"It is of interest to relate that few women of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints can boast of such an extended journey, or series of journeys as can be recorded of Hannah.
She was born in Tosoronto Township, Simcoe, Ontario, Canada. The trip from Canada to Nauvoo was by team all the way and this was true of the journey from Nauvoo to the Great Basin. Later in life, when the Miles Park Romney family were called to help establish settlements in St. George and later in Apache County, Arizona, the distance was covered by team and wagon.
When the family, years later, migrated to Old Mexico to make their homes, Hannah and her children made the perilous journey in covered wagons the entire distance from St. Johns, Arizona to Colonia Juarez, Mexico. This fact alone marked Hannah as one of the most courageous women of her generation and testifies more eloquently than words of her unwaverng faith in the Gospel."
