Note	Phebe was the most determined. She harnessed her horse to her buggy and with her Relief Society partner traveled a 60 mile, two day, trip from Vernal to Roosevelt in order to complete her church assignments as Uintah Stake Relief Society SecretarY PHEBE ANN HACKING & GEORGE DAVIS MERKLEY “HISTORY OF JOHN SAMPSON & JANE CLARK HACKING” Compiled by Lola Hacking Fowlke Phebe Ann Hacking was born on December 8, 1860 to John Sampson and Jane Clark Hacking in Cedar Fort, Utah, in a one-room adobe home. She was the perfect addition to the three member family which included her big brother, James. The family had a hard life and there were problems with Johnston's Army and the Indians. They had no conveniences and food was scarce. She learned to sew, cook and work hard. Life was not easy but love was plentiful. She was lucky to have her grandparents and their families live right by her In the fall of 1879, Phebe Ann, nineteen, went to Ashley Valley with her father to help move her brother James and his family. The Valley was very desolate and there were no trees; it was covered with shad scale, clover and sage. That first night she arrived she hiked to a high ridge and saw only two lights in the whole Valley. At twenty one, Phebe married George Davis Merkley on October 10, 1881 in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City, Daniel H. Wells officiated. He was the son of John's friend and was born in Salt Lake City on July 14, 1859 to Nelson Merkley Sr. and Sarah Jane Sanders Merkley. Early in his life his family moved to Cedar Fort and then to Ashley Valley in 1878. After their marriage, Phebe and George homesteaded 160 acres of land on the southwest corner of the street leading out of Vernal, it was here they built their first home (485 North1500 West, Vernal, Utah). They built "a dirt roofed cabin with chink and daub finish"; later they built a frame home, that is still standing. The other three corners of the street were homesteaded by her brothers: John S. Jr. on the northwest; James (Jim) on the northeast, and her brother-in-law, Nelson Merkley, on the southeast. It was known as "The Hacking Corner". John later moved to the north of Jim where he built a log cabin, and then a red, brick home. Phebe and George cleared the land, planted crops and trees, and began their married life. They helped to develop Vernal into the city that it is today. Conditions were very primitive in 1881. There was no electricity; the pioneers had to depend on crude methods for light; candles and lanterns were considered a luxury. For candles Phebe covered a button with a rag and then put it into a dish of deer tallow. Material for clothing was very hard to obtain and she had to remake old clothing or use buckskin. She was very skilled in the making of apparel, her specialty being buckskin gloves. She took delight in keeping her family well dressed. In their pictures one can see how beautiful and detailed her daughter's dresses were. Food was scare and wheat was the mainstay, their first crop was harvested with an old fashioned grain cradle. Phebe wrote the following in the Uintah Stake Relief Society History: "On account of scarcity of wheat raised in the Valley, the sisters did not ask for donations but went to the fields and gleaned the first wheat that belonged to the Ashley Relief Society. It was five bushels and the following spring they loaned it to poor men for seed." George said he would not go into debt to buy food like everyone else did, and when asked what he did, he said, 'We starved the first year, and after that there was always wheat in my bin" Circumstances improved and eventually they had more food and enough milk to sell to the soldiers, stationed at Fort Thornburg, when they were transferred to Fort Duchesne; they sold them gallons of cool, fresh milk. Nine children were born to the Merkleys: George Albert (Bert), 18 December 1882; Eleanor, 7 November 1884; Phebe Jane, 15 September 1886; Mary Elizabeth, 13 September 1888; John Henry, 4 October 1889; Parley Pratt, 17 April 1892; Audrey Kay, 25 August 1895; Morgan Merkley, 5 April 1898; and Olive Marie 18 June 1901. In 1892 the Church issued a call for George to go to an English Mission. It was hard for him to leave Phebe with five little children and a ranch, but he knew it was right. The homestead was unfenced and before he left, he and his neighbors built one to keep the animals in. Phebe was a very capable woman, she kept her husband on his mission, cared for the children and the farm, and when he got home she had more money than when he left. Phebe, like so many pioneer women, had much heartache but also joy with her children. Her fourth child, Mary, died the same day she was born. Phebe's eighth child, Morgan contracted polio at the age of eighteen months. She nursed him through and later he had only a slight limp. She had a hard time when her second daughter, Phebe Jane, lost her new husband,George Bills. He was struck by lightening while cutting poles in the mountains. After his death she, being with child moved in with her parents. A beautiful baby grandson, Greorge Franklin Bills Jr., was born on January 2, 1907; they lived with Phebe Ann and George until she remarried. After Mr. Bills' death, Phebe and George acquired Phebe Jane's ranch at Ashley Creek. It had a huge cave that was used as a barn; large doors were one side; on the other a fence, so that the animals could go outside and still be secure. They raised sheep and other livestock there.

PHEBE ANN HACKING & GEORGE DAVIS MERKLEY

“HISTORY OF JOHN SAMPSON & JANE CLARK HACKING”

Compiled by Lola Hacking Fowlke

Phebe Ann Hacking was born on December 8, 1860 to John Sampson and Jane Clark Hacking in Cedar Fort, Utah, in a one-room adobe home. She was the perfect addition to the three member family which included her big brother, James. The family had a hard life and there were problems with Johnston's Army and the Indians. They had no conveniences and food was scarce. She learned to sew, cook and work hard. Life was not easy but love was plentiful. She was lucky to have her grandparents and their families live right by her

In the fall of 1879, Phebe Ann, nineteen, went to Ashley Valley with her father to help move her brother James and his family. The Valley was very desolate and there were no trees; it was covered with shad scale, clover and sage. That first night she arrived she hiked to a high ridge and saw only two lights in the whole Valley.

At twenty one, Phebe married George Davis Merkley on October 10, 1881 in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City, Daniel H. Wells officiated. He was the son of John's friend and was born in Salt Lake City on July 14, 1859 to Nelson Merkley Sr. and Sarah Jane Sanders Merkley. Early in his life his family moved to Cedar Fort and then to Ashley Valley in 1878. After their marriage, Phebe and George homesteaded 160 acres of land on the southwest corner of the street leading out of Vernal, it was here they built their first home (485 North1500 West, Vernal, Utah). They built "a dirt roofed cabin with chink and daub finish"; later they built a frame home, that is still standing. The other three corners of the street were homesteaded by her brothers: John S. Jr. on the northwest; James (Jim) on the northeast, and her brother-in-law, Nelson Merkley, on the southeast. It was known as "The Hacking Corner". John later moved to the north of Jim where he built a log cabin, and then a red, brick home. Phebe and George cleared the land, planted crops and trees, and began their married life. They helped to develop Vernal into the city that it is today.

Conditions were very primitive in 1881. There was no electricity; the pioneers had to depend on crude methods for light; candles and lanterns were considered a luxury. For candles Phebe covered a button with a rag and then put it into a dish of deer tallow. Material for clothing was very hard to obtain and she had to remake old clothing or use buckskin. She was very skilled in the making of apparel, her specialty being buckskin gloves. She took delight in keeping her family well dressed. In their pictures one can see how beautiful and detailed her daughter's dresses were. Food was scare and wheat was the mainstay, their first crop was harvested with an old fashioned grain cradle. Phebe wrote the following in the Uintah Stake Relief Society History:

"On account of scarcity of wheat raised in the Valley, the sisters did not ask for donations but went to the fields and gleaned the first wheat that belonged to the Ashley Relief Society. It was five bushels and the following spring they loaned it to poor men for seed."

George said he would not go into debt to buy food like everyone else did, and when asked what he did, he said, 'We starved the first year, and after that there was always wheat in my bin" Circumstances improved and eventually they had more food and enough milk to sell to the soldiers, stationed at Fort Thornburg, when they were transferred to Fort Duchesne; they sold them gallons of cool, fresh milk.

Nine children were born to the Merkleys: George Albert (Bert), 18 December 1882; Eleanor, 7 November 1884; Phebe Jane, 15 September 1886; Mary Elizabeth, 13 September 1888; John Henry, 4 October 1889; Parley Pratt, 17 April 1892; Audrey Kay, 25 August 1895; Morgan Merkley, 5 April 1898; and Olive Marie 18 June 1901.

In 1892 the Church issued a call for George to go to an English Mission. It was hard for him to leave Phebe with five little children and a ranch, but he knew it was right. The homestead was unfenced and before he left, he and his neighbors built one to keep the animals in. Phebe was a very capable woman, she kept her husband on his mission, cared for the children and the farm, and when he got home she had more money than when he left.

Phebe, like so many pioneer women, had much heartache but also joy with her children. Her fourth child, Mary, died the same day she was born. Phebe's eighth child, Morgan contracted polio at the age of eighteen months. She nursed him through and later he had only a slight limp. She had a hard time when her second daughter, Phebe Jane, lost her new husband,George Bills. He was struck by lightening while cutting poles in the mountains. After his death she, being with child moved in with her parents. A beautiful baby grandson, Greorge Franklin Bills Jr., was born on January 2, 1907; they lived with Phebe Ann and George until she remarried.

After Mr. Bills' death, Phebe and George acquired Phebe Jane's ranch at Ashley Creek. It had a huge cave that was used as a barn; large doors were one side; on the other a fence, so that the animals could go outside and still be secure. They raised sheep and other livestock there. Years later a postcard was taken of their sheep in the pasture of this ranch. In 1943, George leased the pasture to the county for a recreational park. The county had a ninety-nine year lease on the property, which was first called Canyon Park.

A rock fireplace and other improvements were built and through the 1940's and 1950's Scout Jamborees, school outings, family reunions, church activities, and picnics were held here. The large hill with cliffs on the west end of the park was an ideal hiking and climbing location. A flagpole was placed on the highest peak; unfortunately, one student plunged to her death from the top of the ledge. The family held one of the John Sampson and Jane Clark Hacking Family Reunions here.

Phebe Ann's son, Parley was called on a mission to the Northern State headquartered in Chicago on October 13, 1914. He returned home at the end 1916, ten months later signed up for the WWI draft and then left for France Sept. 7, 1917. Before he left she had him obtain a Patriarchal Blessing. This article tells about this blessing and his experience in France.
