From the kitchen of Verna Naylor Cleverly Following are the notes from a conversation with Verna (Naylor) Cleverly. Verna is my mother’s sister. (Ruth Venetta (Naylor) Abbott, Dutton. Verna asked me to include this information in the “Smashing Shaw Recipe Book”. ( I think it is interesting to know, Verna is my Aunt, younger than I am. I was born in April, 1925 and Verna was born in September, 1925.) Verna did not like to cook, she liked to clean. She said, “Mother, (who was my grandmother) was a great cook, especially with making pies.“ Verna did not learn how she made those delicious pies. Verna would make fudge at twelve o’clock at night. She stated; “Mother would call out from her bed and say, “Verna, are you making fudge?“ Verna would reply, “No, Mother, I am not cooking fudge. It would permeate all through the house if I were.” Grandmother Naylor would just turn over and go back to sleep.

Verna’s fabulous fudge recipe: 2 tablespoons of cocoa 1/4 cube of butter 2 cups of milk (or if you want it rich, use cream.) 3 cups of sugar Mix it all together and cook it on the stove, (without stirring it), Cook until a half teaspoon full will make a soft ball when it is dropped into a cup of cold water. Pour it into a thickly buttered platter and let it set until it cools, at least until the bottom of the platter is luke warm. Add walnuts, if you like, and stir until the fudge softly hardens.

Memories of Rhoda Lois Laird Naylor Verna relayed an interesting tid bit about grandmother, (Rhoda Lois (Laird) Naylor. When the Naylor’s lived in Idaho, about 1910, Rhoda’s father, Edward Laird, would come over and stay the night with them. Rhoda would get up very early in the morning, take her fishing pole, get on her horse, and go catch a trout. She would prepare the fish for her father’s breakfast. Verna also stated that her mother was a great horsewoman. When the Naylors had the Hobble Creek Ranch, near Springville, Utah, in the 1930s, many relatives and friends would drive over for a visit. Grandfather Naylor, (Frank Sefton Sr.), would load their vehicles up with produce. There is much more to tell about Hobble Creek, like stealing the baby corn and creating princess corn dolls, swinging across Hobble Creek with your foot in a rope, being scared of rattlesnakes, etc. by Mary Lou (Abbott) Shaw, June 6, 2008

From the kitchen of Gayle (Shaw) Soren I had to dig deep for some of these recipes. I haven’t used them in a long time. Mike’s right though, recipes do bring back memories. I would like to share some of my memories, as I share my recipes.

Piroski Piroski is a Russian recipe that I got from a neighbor at the USU Trailer Court. Ron use to take it to potlucks he had at his work at Tektronics. They kept requesting it. After the third time, I found it took me all morning to fix the big batches. I told Ron “no more.” So he took potato chips from then on. My kids always begged me to fix them. They are fun to put in their lunches. Later, when Janel was doing a school project on Russian foods, we found that they actually make it with salmon and bake it in a sour cream dough. It was a little dry. So this is definitely an American variation. Meat filling: 1 lb. ground beef 1 medium onion, minced 2 T. parsley 1 t. salt ¼ t. ground pepper 4 drops Tabasco 4 eggs, well beaten Cook meat and onions. Drain and add parsley, salt, peppers and three eggs. Mix and chill. Dough: 2 1/2 to 3 cups all –purpose flour 1 package active dry yeast 1 t. salt 1 cup warm water 2 T. cooking oil In a large mixer bowl combine 1 1/4 cups of the flour, the yeast, and salt. Stir in warm water and oil. Beat at low speed of electric mixer for ½ minute, scraping bowl constantly. Beat 3 minutes at high speed. Stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can mix in with a spoon. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes total). Take a small ball of dough and roll out into five-inch rounds. Place 2 T. of filling in each round. Brush edges with eggs and fold over. Place in hot pan of oil and cook for 2-3 minutes. Turn over and cook on other side. Drain, cool and enjoy. 10

Whole Wheat Bread All of my life I remember Mom making whole wheat bread. After I got married that’s what I wanted to do, too. Except I thought that whole wheat meant just that-100% wheat! The first loaves were so hard, Ron said they needed to be cut with a hacksaw! Nevertheless, I made him a sandwich to take to DelMonte in Logan. After he ate it, he laid on the grass in pain. He thought he was going “to die.” His co-workers asked him what was wrong. They said that it was because it was made totally with whole wheat. Over the years I have struggled to get my whole-wheat bread to rise, even when I mix in white flour. I have found that using Rapid Rise Yeast by Fleischmann’s seems to help it to rise. 4 cups whole-wheat flour 4 T. yeast 2 T. salt ¼ cup dry powdered milk Stir these ingredients in a large bowl. Meanwhile put 2 cups of water and 1 cup of honey in a large pan, and bring it just to a boil. Add 3 cups of water and ½ cup of oil to the mixture. After it slightly cools, add it to the dry mixture and beat with an electric mixer for three minutes. Add 2 cups of white flour and knead for six minutes. Add 2 more cups of white flour and knead for another six minutes. Continue to do this, adding 2-4 more cups of white flour. Form bread loaves and place in oiled pans. Cover the bread pans plastic wrap and warm wet towels. Place in a pan of warm water, that is in the oven. Let rise. Take out pans and heat oven to 425 degrees. Bake the bread for 15 minutes at 425. Then bake at 325 for 45 minutes. Mom always melted butter on top after it came out of the oven. We often ate it warm with more butter, tearing off the crust. Mmmmm, so good!

Snickerdoodles Cookies have always been a favorite at our house on Sunday afternoons; especially chocolate chip cookies. One reason is because, my Mom use to always make oatmeal cookies and I would crave chocolate chip cookies. The main reason she didn’t make them is because the chocolate chips, they bought, wouldn’t last that long at our house. We would always gobble them up before she would get around to making them. I remember once in second grade making a cookie recipe book for Mother’s Day. I wanted mine to be chocolate chip, but I don’t think we had a recipe. I didn’t want to ask my Mom, because that would ruin the surprise. So I carefully copied the recipe on the back of the Oatmeal box. I still struggle to make the perfect chocolate chip cookie. Nevertheless, I have found a good Snickerdoodle recipe. Which Ron says is his second favorite cookie.

1 cup shortening 1 ½ cup sugar 2 eggs 2 ¾ cups flour 2 tsp cream of tarter 1 t. soda ½ t. salt Cream shortening and sugar together until fluffy. Add eggs and blend well.

Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 375 for 10 min.

Crazy Cake My dear Aunt Venis once gave me a recipe for Texas Chocolate Cake. It seemed familiar to me. While looking for it, I went through an old Orangevale Ward recipe book put together by some dear sisters. Looking at it brought back memories of them. Well, in it is a Crazy Cake contributed by my mother! It is the same as Aunt Ven’s cake. I remember Mom making a well in the mixture and adding the vinegar. We thought it was amazing. She didn’t need eggs, and it was delicious! Crazy! 11/2 cup flour 1 cup sugar 3 t. unsweetened cocoa 1 t. soda ½ t. salt 6 T. oil 1 T. vinegar 1 T. vanilla 1 cup cold water Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Make a depressions in the flour mixture. Pour in the oil, vinegar and vanilla. Pour the cold water over all and mix it with a fork. Do not beat. Bake in 350 oven for 30 min. or until done. Cool in pan and serve. I remember on Sunday nights Mom making a Boston Cream Candy. I think it was just made with sugar and canned milk. We would cook it to a soft ball stage. I remember her dropping it in a glass of cold water and anxiously watching it form into a soft ball. We would stir and stir and stir it. Sometimes it would harden up and sometimes it wouldn’t. But we always enjoyed something sweet. My Dad would make popcorn, usually on Sunday nights. He would cook it in hot oil in a covered heavy pan. I loved to listen to it start popping and watch it when he opened the lid.

Once when my Mom was gone, my Dad cooked dinner and it was horrible! He mixed potatoes and tomatoes together, and sang Tomatoes/Potatoes all night. My Mom was a good cook, though, often making delicious meals; when I thought nothing was in the house.

My Rice Story We sometimes struggled and didn’t have much food in the house. One month we didn’t have much food and no extra money was coming in. I remember that my Mom happily announcing that we had a hundred pounds of rice, so we wouldn’t go hungry. So we had rice and powdered milk for breakfast, fried rice for lunch; a simple rice casserole for dinner. That month we were also studying about the four food groups in school. Our teacher wanted us to write down our meals to make sure they included all the food groups. I remember the girl before me, when we gave our reports for the whole class. She had actually had steak and a whole variety of foods. When it was my turn, I somehow mumbled my way through. I shouldn’t have felt too bad though, we were living in No. Sacto at the time and there were a lot of poor children in the community. I can honestly say that our family never went hungry. I am thankful to my parents for the ingenious ways they fed us.

From the kitchen of Allyson (Soren) Woodland The recipes I chose my boys love. Some of these recipes I have been making from the beginning of our marriage. Jeremy always loves having nice food to come home to. I figure it's the least I can do since he works so hard. The boys would all get really excited when I make treats and all want to help. I had so much help at times there was no room to cook. So we had to make a new policy. Each day the boys get to take turns to help make dinner or whatever I am making. Sometimes they even get to choose. I love making nice meals for them. And they seem to appreciate it. The lemon rice and lime chicken recipes a good friend made for me after I had Erick. It was a nice refreshing meal. It will always remind me of good friends. Plus, there was not one complaint about it. We all loved it.

Add the spinach, cheese, Italian seasoning and pepper. Stir in the egg mixture thoroughly and set aside. (You might need to strain some water out of the spinach). Add the remaining 2 Tbsp. of olive oil to the skillet, heat it and tilt the pan to distribute the oil evenly. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. With the back of a spoon, push (do not stir) the ham and spinach to distribute them evenly. Cook without stirring for 7 minutes or until the surface is moist. Immediately put the skillet under the hot broiler and cook 2 minutes or until the surface is just set but not brown. Before serving, run a knife around the edge of the frittata to loosen.

From the kitchen of Ed Naylor Note from Mary Lou Shaw: Last Sunday I had the opportunity to converse with Nancy (Naylor) Moore, and Carolyn (Naylor) Simpson. Nancy and Caroline are the daughters of Edward and Glenice (Nowell) Naylor. They relayed the account of the candy making process conducted by their Dad. At the candy making season, Ed would move his sleeping quarters to the living room. Closing the bedroom door would keep that room cool. In the bedroom, tables were set up and a marble slab. No written recipes were available. Ed had them in his head. When they first decided to cover the pieces of candy with chocolate, Carolyn exclaimed they placed the piece of candy into the boiling chocolate on a spoon and the candy just boiled down into the pot. Somehow they did learn how to cover them with chocolate. That became Carolyn’s expert job. Nancy helped box the candy and clean up. They often had seventy five boxes of “out of this world” chocolates to give away and to sell. Following is the Peanut Butter recipe that Carolyn remembered: Peanut Butter Chocolates 1 package of powdered sugar 1 bottle of peanut butter A dash of salt Mix together until it fits your taste. Roll small bit size shape. Dip in dark or light chocolate. Have fun!!!!! Nancy and Carolyn both remarked about growing gardens. Since Edward’s death, (5 Feb 2003) , they also have planted a garden at Ed’s place every year. Now Nancy’s grandson is living in the house, he is in charge of the garden.

Memories of Venis Shaw Powell Mother was an excellent cook and often did not use a written recipe. She was particularly known for her wonderful roasts! When asked how she flavored and cooked the meat she said, "Just cook it long and slow, with a little salt and pepper." Her 4 daughters have tried cooking the meat this way, but it never tastes as good as Moms did! We've wondered if she forgot to mention some secret ingredient. Hers was always wonderful!!!

From the kitchen of Garth Naylor The Boston Brown Creme Candy recipe was given to me by my uncle Garth Naylor. He said it was a secret recipe. He may have received it from the Snelgrove Ice Cream Company where he was employed. Later, when I was about fourteen years old, Mom’s brother, Ed Naylor came to help us build a basement and enlarge our home. He made this candy, also. Garth and Ed, later in their lives, made chocolates to sell. Garth, in his early marriage had a Flower and Candy Shop in his home in Sugar House, Utah. Ed made chocolates in his home also, and sold lots of candy around Christmas time. I don’t particularly remember Mother making Boston Brown Candy. She made delicious fudge, divinity, taffy, pinocho and sold them to her pinochle card playing friends. Pinocho is made with brown sugar. Sometime I want to try making pinocho. Boston Brown Creme Candy 1 can of milk 3 cups of sugar 1 teaspoon of vanilla 3/4 cup of plain walnuts 1/2 cube of butter Melt one cup of sugar in a pan until thoroughly melted stirring constantly so that it will not burn. Add 1/2 can of milk, continue stirring until it boils for a few minutes. Add 1 cup of sugar and bring it to a boil for a few minutes, keep stirring. Add the other half of the canned milk and bring it to a boil, keep stirring. Add vanilla Add the third cup of sugar and cook, stirring, until it forms quite a sturdy soft ball in a cup of cold water. Pour on buttered platter. Include walnuts. Let cool until bottom of dish is luke warm Stir until it hardens and form small balls of candy. Submitted by: Mary Lou Shaw

From the kitchen of Mary Lou Shaw Wheat Berry Bread The following recipe makes six loaves of bread. However if you want to make less, still use the basic, 2 tablespoons, honey, salt, and oil. (I like olive oil, or soy bean oil the best) One 5 pound package of white flour 3/4 cup of wheat kernels (cooked) 3 pks of dry yeast One and one half quarts of water 2 Tablespoons of honey 2 Tablespoons of cooking oil (I prefer olive or soy bean oil) 2 Tablespoons of Salt 2 cubes of butter *(I usually put in a little more honey and oil) * ( I used to add about a cup of powered milk) * I think the sucess of this bread is in the mixing and timing of adding the Ingrediants. Cook the wheat having about 2 inches of water above the wheat. Bring it to a boil and cook until the wheat is soft and puffed up. Set aside and let it cool to luke warm or cooler. Using a large pan....Put the honey and the yeast into the pan. Add the luke warm water and stir with a spoon for a few minutes. Let it set for a few minutes and add 3 cups of flour and stir for a few minutes. Let this mixture rise somewhat. Add salt and oil and stir in 4 cups of flour, and stir. Let it rise somewhat. Butter the sides and bottoms of your baking dishes. Add the cooled down wheat and more flour. Stir or mix by hand if needed. Let it rise some and add the rest of the flour 1 or 2 cups at a time, stir and mix by hand, knead the bread, stretch and pull it, slam it down. If I am making six loaves, at this time I divide the dough in half and place half of it in another large pan so the dough can rise properly. (You do not want the dough to be too sticky or it will sink down after it is baked) Now give the dough room and time for a good rise. Punch it down and kneed again thoroughly, slapping, pounding, and pulling. (Oil on your hands help.) Let the dough rise fully, again. Thoroughly kneed it down again.. Do not add more flour at this last stage. Separate in loaves to lay in the baking dishes. Let the dough rise high to the tops and rounded higher in the middle. Pre-heat the oven at 375 or however your oven bakes the best and bake 45 minutes to an hour. Remove from the oven and butter 28

the tops of the bread loaves thoroughly. When cool remove from the bread pans. I don’t remember where and when I received this recipe. Mother and my Grandmothers made delicious white bread, and baking powder biscuits. However, at one time in my life, Mother started making whole wheat bread, cookies and cakes. At first her loaves were flat and hard, but tasted very good. She was finally able to bake nice high light loaves. We stopped using white flour and white sugar. For sweetener in her cooking Mother used raw sugar or honey. Grandmother Naylor urged Ruth to sell her bread, because it was so unique, but Mother didn’t follow grandmother’s advice. (Note: Names of grandmothers are: Chrissie Eveline (Whitney) Abbott; Rhoda Lois (Laird) Naylor. Mother’s name is: Ruth Venetta (Naylor) Abbott, Dutton.) Shaw’s Stuff When Keith Shaw was a Priest, the young men had a feast. Keith contributed the following dish. When one of the members asked him what it was, he replied “Shaw’s Stuff”. Hence the name! 1 large package of strawberry jello. 1 cup of boiling water. 1 package of frozen strawberries Almost a half of carton of Vanilla Ice Cream 3/4 cup of plain walnuts. Place the contents of the package of jello in a large bowl. Pour the boiling water in the bowl and stir for at least three minutes, until jello is completely dissolved. Add the frozen strawberries and continue stirring. Stir in the Ice Cream, (Jello will begin to set up) Stir in the walnuts. Keep in the refrigerator until serving time.

Baking Bread with Grandma Mary Lou Shaw By Shelsie Shaw Allen Mary Lou Shaw was born April 25, 1925 to Austin Neal Abbott and Ruth Venetta Naylor Abbott in Nampa Idaho. Mary Lou and Bob Shaw were married April 5,1950 in the Salt Lake City temple. Together they have 5 children (Gayle Soren, Keith Shaw, Holly Miller, Scott Shaw and Mike Shaw), 23 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. I am lucky enough to be one of the grandchildren-Keith Shaw’s daughter, Shelsie.

It was spring break, I was 16 and I was in California with my Dad, Reagan, Randon and my best friend Terena. We did lots of fun things with the Miller’s and Mike’s families, but one of my favorite memories was baking bread with Grandma. Everyone else was headed to Mike’s house, but Terena and I wanted to stay at Grandma’s and learn how to make “Shaw Bread”. Little did we know that we would be in for such a treat! Grandma wasn’t sure where the recipe came from, but one thing was certain and that was that the bread was some of the yummiest bread I’ve tasted. Grandma told us the ingredients, then supervised us while we had the satisfaction of making our own bread. When she said to knead it, we kneaded it. When she said to “slap it down”, we slapped it down. And the entire time she offered words of encouragement and praise. Grandma is always good at making you feel that whatever your doing, you are doing it better than its ever been done before! She would complement us by telling us with a large smile on across her face and a sweet chuckle, on how great we were doing. You always feel like a million bucks when you are with Grandma and on that day, because of Grandma, we felt like we were the best bread makers in California! The goodness of the “Shaw Bread” recipe has made its way out of the Shaw family and into other homes where other people have been able to enjoy it. One day, a few years after baking with Grandma, while I was living in St. George going to Dixie, I came home from class to an apartment filled a familiar scent. Terena had made “Shaw Bread” for me and my roommates! She had saved the recipe and remembered how delicious it was, and wanted to share it with our roommates. I called Grandma and she was so happy that we shared the delicious recipe with our friends. While I ate the yummy bread with Terena, I was reminded of the first time making the bread at Grandma’s and how we were the ‘bread-winners’ of California on that spring day!

The 15 interview questions are; 1. What did Josephine like to cook? 2. What are the recipes for the things she liked to cook? 3. What did you like to eat? 4. What one (or more) memory of your mother preparing food (cooking, gardening, canning, etc) would you like to share? 5. Tell us about bread and milk. 6. Tell us about your mother’s hands and heart. 7. Tell us about that certain cooking smell you can smell even to this day. 8. Please provide the recipe for one item that you would have liked your mother to prepare for this reunion (but you will have to trust me to cook it, if you will be unable to attend). 9. Please share your mother’s favorite (or special) poem. 10. What should we know about your mother and cherries? 11. What should we know about horse carts? 12. Tell us about your mother’s childhood.

Maxine Shaw Owen writes

About our dear Mother – One of the things I remember her talking about when they were newly married and living in Snowville – was being chased by a rabid coyote and having to jump a fence to get away from it. It sounds scary to me. Bless her heart she was so kind and sweet – and so giving. We were always poor, but always clean (well, almost always) and I never remember being hungry – she always found something for us to eat. I can still smell her homemade bread – big brown loaves – and we all wanted the crust. There was always peanut butter, and honey. And very often home made butter. Her pies were delicious, but she couldn’t make a very good cake. I can remember Venis bringing everything for a lemon pie so she could make it for her. Karen has always talked about our fried chicken. Now that is a memory – seeing those chickens flopping around on the ground – and the boiling water ready to dunk them in to remove all the feathers and pin feathers. We ate a lot of beans – and I thought they were delicious. Oh, I forgot to mention the fried bread – She would break off pieces – flatten them – fold them over and fry them in grease. Nothing better! I don’t remember her using many recipes. She just seemed to make do with whatever she had – and it all seems amazing to me. Mother had a heart of gold – she was always helping others. And she loved her family – especially those two little sisters of ours Karen and Chyrl, and, of course Robert Keith. After Bob had polio – (in the early 40’s, I believe) she spoiled him somethin’ awful. (Love you Bob.) We had quite a few bums passing through were we lived – (now known as the homeless) and they always came to our house because she would feed them, pass by the neighbors and come to our place. She had a few dishes she used for that purpose only – and never let them use our dishes or silverware.

50

I was always afraid of them, naturally because they were sometimes dirty and scary looking – but – she never seemed to be afraid. There wasn’t a task she couldn’t or wouldn’t do. From milking cows – leading big bulls around by a chain in their noses when they would get out – now that’s scary. Working in the fields right along with some older siblings – and, of course Dad making sure we stayed in school – and taught good manners – and went to Church even though she go often for various reasons. She had a deep, abiding faith. Always – to the very end of her life here on this earth. Here come the tears you talked about, Keith. I just want to say that I was at the foot of mother’s bed in the hospital with my hands on her feet when she took her last breath – and the very last words out of her mouth were – “Take care of Karen and Chyrl for me – please.” And little sisters, you sweet beautiful girls – I tried. I love every one of my sisters and brothers – very much. We have a good heritage – don’t we? Thanks to every one for making this so special. Am I the only one in the family that doesn’t have a computer? Chyrl Shaw Markworth writes

I am writing about my dear mother Josephine Cottam Shaw. I was 13 when she passed away, so my memories of her were of her later life in Riverbank, CA. She was a wonderful mother and even tho I only knew her for 13 years on this earth, she taught me many things during this time. She loved to tell me about her growing up in Utah and getting married and having her children. She loved her husband, children and grandchildren. She was proud of each one. She was a humble person and loved the gospel. She had a strong testimony of the gospel. I remember as a child her bearing her testimony when she felt well enough to attend Fast Sunday. She really laid the foundation for my testimony. Mother was a wonderful cook even tho I never saw a recipe book or any recipes in the home. Everything was from scratch. She could make a meal

out of nothing. If you know what I mean. Sometimes those meals were the best! I remember as a young child looking out our kitchen window in Riverbank and seeing a huge garden. There was everything in that garden. It was called a victory garden because it was at the end of the depression and during World War II. Everyone had a victory garden. I remember my favorite thing was to go outside and taking a salt shaker and sitting among the tomatoes and eating tomato after tomato and putting salt on them! Yummy! She would make jam from raspberries, strawberries and blackberries. The corn tasted so good with homemade butter. During the school year Karen and I would attend primary in Riverbank at a community building and during the hot summer we would bicycle about 2 miles into Riverbank to attend primary. I remember bicycling home and turning off the main road onto our lane where our 3 room home was. (It had been a chicken coop and dad made it into a small house.) As we came down the lane soon floating through the air was the smell of fresh home made bread. We would bicycle faster and faster until we got home and there were warm slices of bread with homemade butter and jam. We were in heaven. This happened every Saturday until mom became very sick. What a wonderful memory! Every night Mom would make Dad Bread and Milk and sugar in a large bowl. He enjoyed it so much. Mother loved to please him and then he would finish the rest of the meal. I am sure he did this all his life. Mother's favorite recipes which I can remember was her chili, chicken and noodles soup (homemade noodles,) and of course her fried chicken. I know her chicken was so good because she would kill the chicken the day before on Saturday and we would have it every Sunday. It was out of this world. If she could be at the reunion I would have her bring her fried chicken. My favorite memory of mother cooking was when she would make taffy. This was always done outdoors as I remember it. She would butter her hands and then take the hot taffy and stretch it longer and longer between her two hands. She loved to tease us as she would stretch the taffy almost to the ground and then whip it back up before it reached the dirt. We would gasp because we thought she would let it get to the ground, but she never did. She stretched and stretched it until it became white in color. Then she would 52

stretch it out on wax paper and cut with scissors into pieces. It was so good. I always could taste the vinegar taste it had. Yummy! When we went to Erma's funeral her granddaughters sang “In My Grandmother’s Old Fashioned Garden". I didn't know it was one of her favorite songs. This was mother's favorite song. She would have me sing it over and over again. It used to be in the old primary song book. Also when she wasn't feeling well Karen would play the piano and her and I would sing hymns to her. This seemed to help her feel better and comfort her. Everyday throughout my life I have felt my mother beside me feeling my joys and sorrows. She has always been there for me to comfort me and to let me know she loves me and still watches over me. I can't truly explain it, but I know the veil is thin and she is with us each day with her love and encouragement. The siblings who were in Riverbank during her last few years tried their best to comfort her and take care of her. Karen, Maxine, Beth, Bob and my self did the best we could to love and support her. I am so thankful that Mother was in Ogden when she passed away. Venis, Erma, Phyllis, and Maxine were there to care and watch over her before she passed away. My mother's heart and hands go together! Love, Cooking, Taking care of her children and husband and working so hard all her life. You could put all her earthly possessions in a small box when she left this life. She left a love of the gospel, love for her family and hard work and caring for others. During the depression I remember her feeding the homeless on our kitchen steps. We lived near the railroad and she never turned anyone away who needed food. She was a wonderful, blessed mother! Beth Shaw Parker Writes

Our Mother, Josephine Shaw, was a very hard working, loving, caring mother. Besides doing any job on the farm that was necessary, you would often see her moving our mean bull around by the ring in his nose. She wasn't fearful at all. She would put all of us children in the house to keep us safe and we would peer from the windows watching her move the bull from one field to another. 53

She made the very best sauerkraut around. There would always be a barrel of sauerkraut at our home. We would eat it straight from the barrel, after pushing the mold away or, if we could afford them, we would have the sauerkraut with wieners. Robert Keith Shaw writes

A Son’s Tribute to Josephine Cottam Shaw, By: Robert Keith Shaw I’d like to pay tribute to my dear deceased Mother, Josephine Cottam Shaw. She was born in Snowville, Utah, on May 6, 1892. Josie attended a country school, across the State Line, in Stone, Idaho. Her father, John Cottam, went on a Church Mission to the Texas Area. A true story is about him finding a dime in the Texas dust, allowing the Elders to cross a railroad bridge, which helped them in their work. They were traveling without purse or script at this time. Lillie Rose Cottam (mother) kept ties with her family in Pleasant View, Utah. Many of Josie’s babies were born in the Pleasant View and Ogden area. Josie had a sister, Mabel Cottam Ellis. I feel I have always had a good relationship with dear Aunt Mabel and her family. Josephine and John Riley Shaw were married in the Logan, Utah Temple in 1910. They lived near Promontory Point, Utah, for several years. This was a hard life for them. They lived in a wagon bed for sometime. Josie’s cooking skills were challenged by this type of life. They moved to a beautiful farm in Pleasant View and lived there for about 15 years. John and William, his brother, became owners, when their father, Edmund Shaw died. John and Josie had a fine family of nine children. Chyrl was born later, in California. Josie cooked for the grain threshers. The harvesting crew praised her ample and excellent dinners. Not many modern kitchen appliances were available, at that time, to assist Josie with her cooking.

The brick house caught on fire due to electrical problems, but we continued to live there. The farms were lost during the Great Depression of the 1930’s. We moved to Grandmother Cottam’s “house on the hill” for a time. It is my understanding that Josie and Mabel inherited the home, orchard, and land after their mother’s death. We moved to Oakdale, CA. to work on Uncle Eugene and Aunt Harriet (Shaw) Higgenbotham’s large rancho. The Higgenbotham’s treated us kindly. We lived in a tent with a wooden floor, located in their massive oak grove. Our tent was located across the highway from the Higgenbotham home. Living and cooking were difficult in the crowded tent with our family of six people. The smoke found its way out of small openings in the tent. We moved to another Higgenbotham ranch on Langsworth Ave. Later, John bought a twelve acre dairy farm near Riverbank, CA. Here, we had to qualify with the power company to obtain electrical service in our home which included purchasing an electrical range. No more cooking for Josie on a wood and coal stove on a hot day! Karen and Chyrl and Bob were younger. We attended Riverbank School and Oakdale High. Chyrl was graduated from Modesto High School. Bob served during World War 11 in the U.S. Coast Guard and he was later graduated from Modesto Junior College. Beth and Maxine was older and helped Josie with the cooking and household duties. Josie was very ill, at this time. Beth stayed out of high school for a year to care for her mother and her younger siblings. The menu usually included breakfast cereal, beans, ham, rice, spaghetti, Ritz crackers, our own milk, butter, eggs, garden produce, and chicken meat, etc. Beth married Sherman Parker and Maxine married Walter Olsen. Robert went on a mission to the Central States. He later married Mary Lou Abbott in 1950. Josephine died on a trip to Utah with the Olsen’s in May, 1951. Her death was a terrible upset to the family. Later, Karen married Keith Thomas and Chyrl married Carl Markworth.

Josephine was a constant help and protector to me. She assisted me with my understanding of the scriptures. She had a firm testimony of the Gospel and was able to help other less fortunate families. Josephine had a difficult life but she made the best of circumstances. I love her. I appreciate all that she did for me and the family. With Josephine, it was love unfeigned.

Our Mother never measured anything and all of her food tasted oh, so good. So, we don't have recipes, as such. I can remember some of my favorite things. They are: ™ Salt water taffy. ™ Cold bread and milk she would fix our father, John Shaw, every Sunday night. ™ Chili sauce (this was put up in jars and consisted of tomatoes, onions, peppers and other seasonings). We would serve over eggs or as an accompaniant to meat. It was very delicious and my mouth waters thinking of it. ™ Delicious fried chicken dinners on Sunday afternoon. This was after she had caught the chicken the day before, cut the head off with an axe while holding the chicken on a tree stump, letting it flop around on the ground until all life was gone, plucking it and skinning it and cutting it into pieces. She would then brown it in melted shortening, add a little water, cover it and let it steam. She made the best fried chicken and was ahead of her time because she took all the skin off of it and consequently there had to be less calories. 56

™ I wish that I had some of her recipes....... Her pies were delicious and her pie crusts the best!!! The very first thing she taught me to make was a custard pie.

Toasted Cheese Sandwiches with Tomato Bread Sliced Cheese Butter Sliced Tomato Butter bread and place slices of cheese on top. Place in oven and bake at 350 degF until cheese is melted and bread is toasted. Take out and put sliced tomato on top. Salt and Pepper to taste. Enjoy! This was a favorite growing up for me. We had it for breakfast, lunch and dinner at different times. The tomato is optional but very good and best if it came from a garden.

Danish Sweet Soup This is a family recipe on my wife’s side from Denmark. We have made the soup a Christmas Tradition in our house.
