Mabel Fidelia Hale Knapp 1889-1969
I, Mabel Fidelia Hale Knapp, was born March 20, 1889 at Swan Lake, Idaho. I was born at my Grandfather Hendrick’s home. My parents are Alma Helaman Hale Jr. and Elizabeth Precinda Hendricks. My oldest sister, Elizabeth Precinda ‘Finnie’, was excited to have a little sister and we formed a close bond that remained with us. Through the years, brothers and sisters followed, they are:
Joseph Alma LeGrande Sheldon Alta Lella Theola Harold Hendricks
My father blessed me when I was eight days old. When I was two weeks old, he left for a mission to the British Isles. For the two years he was away we lived with my grandparents. After he returned we moved to Oxford, Idaho, and later we moved to Preston, Idaho.
I can remember our home, the store and Tithing Office where my father worked, as well as the Oneida Academy in Preston. My mother’s health was poor and I remember once when I was alone with her and she became very ill. I didn’t know what to do and I prayed for help. A lady knocked at our door and found me frightened and mother sick. She told me to go quickly to the school and get Finnie while she waited with mother. She stayed with us until mother was feeling better, which was a great favor to us, and an answer to prayer.
