Comments: 80th Birthday Anniversary: The Manti Messenger, 18 MAR 1949
Manti Matron Will Observe 80th Anniversary
Mrs. Margaret C. Shomaker will observe her eightieth birthday anniversary on March 20, 1949 with "open house" at 407 West 4th North, Manti, from two to six o'clock p.m. All her friends and relatives are cordially invited to call but a "no gifts, please," statement has also been issued.
Mrs. Shomaker was born in Salt Lake City, March 17, 1869, and is thus a "native pioneer" of Utah. Her parents were James Cordon and Ellen Wilson Cahoon, ardent members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who taught their children carefully in religion, hence Mrs. Shomaker's life has been strictly religious.
She was married to Leonard Adelbert Shomaker in the Manti Temple, October 20, 1890, and nine children were born to them: Leonard A., Delores, Ezra C., Laurain, Ellen, Eva, Margaret, Louella and Jean. Mr. Shomaker died suddenly on February 2, 1914, and the widowed mother was left with the responsibility of both father and mother in caring for her large family, a task in which she succeeded admirably.
She had the privilege of serving as an ordinance worker in the Manti Temple for 15 years, a sweet memory in her declining years.
She has nine sons and daughters, 22 grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren.
