Biography

Maggie Clifford was born in Millville on November 6, 1891, the daughter of Mathew M. and Emaline Sarah Chandler Clifford. She had an older sister, Nellie, and a younger brother, Earl.

Maggie was a beautiful woman. Everyone raved about her beautiful long, thick, black, shinny hair when she was younger. There is a picture that shows her hair at knee-length.

She graduated from the 8th Grade. In those days 8th grade was as far as you could go; there was no High School. She loved to sew and she attended tailoring school in Logan, she was a gifted seamstress.

Maggie was 16 when her second cousin Susannah died. She lived down the road from where Susannah had lived with her husband Joseph Leonard Neves. Maggie was hired to help with the chores, cooking, washing, and sewing. Maggie worked for this family until she was 24. During this time she became very fond of his children and of Joseph himself.

When Maggie was 25, she became pregnant with Josephs child out of wedlock. Maggie was compelled by her parents to marry Edward Jenkins Hoskins to give the child a proper name. They married on March 1, 1916 and the baby was born March 31st.

Maggie was not happy with this marriage and soon ended it. Some say it was annulled. Maggie and her daughter Alline lived with Maggies parents down the street from Joseph and went by her maiden name Clifford.

On April 28, 1920, Maggie married Joseph Leonard Neves.

Joseph and his mother Olive had a small farm which consisted of 4 acres of land for growing crops, (beets, corn, alfalfa, etc.), a vegetable garden, a small house, a barn and barnyard that usually housed a few milk cows, a calf, chickens, pigs, and a few horses, not to mention some fruit trees.
Joseph was born in Millville, the son of William and Olive Ann Neves. Because of persecution during the time of polygamy, Joseph's father moved his other family to Wyoming; and Joseph, at age sixteen, was left to care for his mother. He had learned the carpenter's trade from his father, and with study and experience he became proficient at building. He built the old Post Office and the homes of James Jenson and N. H. Monson. He also worked on the Capitol Theater and many church buildings.

Joseph was gone much of the time with out-of-town, and often, out-of-state, construction jobs. Care of the home front often fell to Maggie. Joseph's mother Olive often helped out, she had moved in with Josephs brother Ernest down the street.

Children of Joseph and Maggie are: Bessie Aleene Trolson, Claire Leonard, Naudine Howell, Theo Faye Goodman, Beverley Mozell Gomm, Bartell Lamont, Roese Deloy and Lowell Dewey.

On Feb 14, 1937 (Valentine’s Day), Joseph was hit by a car while walking home from work on a snowy evening. It was a hit and run. Joseph was found in a nearby snowbank. He suffered severe head injuries, two broken legs, a broken arm, and fractured ribs. After about a year he could walk on crutches but his mental health never recovered. He was eventually transported to the Utah State Hospital in Provo where he died Feb 28, 1938, at age 60, a year after the accident.

Maggie had a difficult time raising 7 children by herself. Many of the children worked after school and weekend to help support the family. She leased out some of her land to nearby farmers, sold milk from her cows to the dairy, raised chickens, sold any extra eggs, raised pigs, had a vegetable garden, sewed many of her children's clothes, baked her own bread, etc.

Maggie died on Feb 10, 1966 at age 74 of diverticulitis and cancer in the Logan Hospital with members of her family present.
