History of Sarah Elizabeth Stotter Campbell Bowles 1892-1970(Photo at right is Sarah at age 17)
In Benjamin lived Robert Lemuel Campbell and Victoria Elizabeth BarnardCampbell on the bank of a slough in a tent. One Sunday morning at one o’clock on the 7th of August 1892, was born a daughter to above parents. They named her Sarah Elizabeth Stotter, she being the fifth child.
When I was small my parents gave me a gray top knotted hen. I kept her for two or three years. She would set, raise her chickens and I would pay my tithing on them. I always loved to pay my tithing and go to Sunday School and sing songs of Zion.
We children loved to go to the meadows and pick flowers. There were two big springs on Father’s place. One day Hyrum and myself were down by the spring and a hailstorm come and it sure did pelt us, so we ran and got under a bridge.
We had to walk to school and in the Winter we used to skate up the slough to school. We sure did have fun skating. One morning when I was walking to school alone in the Winter I froze both my feet. My teacher thawed them out. One of my teachers name was Miss Post, I sure did like her. She taught us songs one was; "O robin red breast O robin, robin dear.
I was baptized on the 2nd of September 1900 by Hyrum Hand when I was eight years old. The Winter before we moved to Idaho in 1903 I had scarlet fever. I got so weak I couldn’t stand to sit up while Mother made my bed. That Spring when they left for Idaho they left me at my Aunt Tillie’s in Salt Lake. They thought I couldn’t stand the trip. It took me a month or two before I could stand straight. I sure got home sick while staying there. They lived by the railroad and those whistles sounded so forlorn. After I went home, every time a train whistled it would send a sick feeling through me. I went home on the train towards the Fall. The Conductor watched out for me and helped me when I had to change trains.
A mile south of Rigby was as far as the road went and the rest was sagebrush. They used to call it the Burns. There were no bridges across most of the canals so we had to ford them and some were very deep.
I went to Rudy School one Winter. We moved to Rigby, north of the county line and by the Harson Canal. We walked over to Leorin School for three or four years. One winter morning it was snowing and blowing, none of the rest of the children went to school but myself. The drifts were deep and it was hard going but I made it alright but it got very cold. When I was in the seventh grade we went to Rigby. They got school wagons so we got to ride and in the Winter went in sleighs. One crisp cold morning going to school my brother Robert was driving a white top buggy taking part of the children for there were too many for the school wagon. One of the horses leg fell through a hole in the bridge and took the skin of it so Robert took the horses back home and us children walked on to school. While helping the little ones, having no gloves I froze both my hands. The skin came off my fingers; they were sure sore and painful.
I graduated from the eight grade not having enough money. I didn’t have a graduating dress so I wouldn’t go with the rest of the class to Rexburg and have their picture taken.
I worked every summer for different people doing housework, getting two and one half dollars a week. I was a Sunday School Teacher and taught the small children; which I enjoyed very much. In 1909 Robert L. Bybee gave me my Patriarchal Blessing.
When I was seventeen Bishop Davis ask me to be President of the Young Women’s MIA. I was President for a year or so and then they reorganized and I was made Counselor.
On March 6, 1912 I was married to Samuel Clifford Bowles in the Salt Lake Temple. We went to Rigby in a sleigh and met my brother Hyrum and Charlotte Davis and we all went to Salt Lake City on the train. We went to our Aunt Tillie’s place and stayed that night, then went to the Temple the next day. The next day Clifford and I went to Nephi to see his folks, we stayed there a week or so and we went back to Idaho. Clifford worked for Sam Eams that Summer and we lived in a two room frame house South of Darious Session’s house over in the field.
On the 7th of January 1913, Wanda was born. The next spring we moved over to Thomas Doman’s place. He rented it for four or five years. On the 4th of October 1914 Verla was born. It was a cold day. We never got out thrashing done until ten days later for it had snowed. While living here we belonged to the Rigby First Ward.
In the year 1917, we bought 40 acres from Joe Pitman. We moved on it in the Fall and then we belonged to the Milo Ward. On the 12th of March 1918 Thelda was born. I have worked in the Primary and was a Relief Society Teacher. On the14th of January 1920 Alice was born, we were living in a one-room log house. We were busy farming and trying to pay for it.
On the 8th of February 1922 Lois was born. There was plenty of snow and Dad went to get Mrs. Godfrey. She was a midwife and took care of me and the baby.
On the ??of April 19?? Arzella was born. When I got out of bed the peas were up. It seemed like a dream. In the Fall of 19?? in September Phyllis was born. It sure was a cold day. A North wind blew and froze the apples that night. On August 19?? Clifford Jay was born. Dad was sure thrilled to have a son; he weighed 9 lbs. He was born over to Grandma Bowles’s home.
In 1929 we bought 80 acres from Harry Moore and sold the 40 acres to Wilford Bowles. On November 19?? Mildred was born. It was during the depression, we sure had a hard time paying taxes and interest on the place. In the year 1933 I was sick with gallstones. In March 1934, I was operated on. My gall bladder had broken twice. I was sure miserable all summer. On ?? October 19?? Myrna was born. She was born in Idaho Falls at Wanda and Lee’s place. At that time we were living in two rooms. On ?? November 19?? Aldon Robert was born. In 1941 we rented the Moore place and we moved over there while Oral and Alice lived in our place.
Clifford was First Counselor to Bishop C J Call and I was Second Counselor to Evelyn Graham in Relief Society. Sister Graham was released and I was put in as President of the Relief Society in the Rigby Third Ward. I served in this position from the 14th of November 1943 to 1948. We bought 46 acres over by the Rigby Sugar Factory from Lee Phillips. We moved over there and then we were in the Rigby Second Ward. I was a Primary Teacher for one year and then I was put in as Counselor in the Rigby Second Ward. I was a Primary Teacher for one year and then I was put in as Counselor in the Primary on the 7th of January 1951. When they reorganized the Primary I was put in Teacher of Group One. I was sustained on the 5th of July 1954 and set apart on the 5th of August 1954. I was set apart as Genealogy Secretary on the 25th of March 1956. I was put in as Work Director in Relief Society on the 21st of July 1957.
On the 10th of March 1962 we celebrated our Golden Wedding. All our family was there and we had a wonderful day so many came out.
I was sustained Theology Teacher in Relief Society in November 1962 and I have been a Relief Society Visiting Teacher for about 40 years. In 1963 I was operated on for cancer and at the present time I am doing fine.
We have 3 grandsons on missions. One returned last November and Oral and Alice are in England on a Work Mission.

A patriarchal blessing given by R L Bybee, August 11, 1909, upon the head of Sarah Elizabeth Stotter Campbell, daughter of Robert Lemuel Campbell and Victoria Elizabeth Barnard. Born August 7, 1892 at Benjamin, Utah Co, Utah.
Sister Sarah, I lay my hands upon your head and I seal upon you a patriarchal blessing. I bless you with a long life. You shall spend your days in usefulness in teaching the young by precept and example. The destroyer will seek to lead you astray but through keeping the commandments of God and walking in the paths of righteousness your feet shall be delivered from his snares and you shall never fall. Your mind shall be enlightened by the spirit of your Heavenly Father, your guardian angle shall become your companion. He will be near you, and when you are beset by the evil one and your mind is clouded in darkness, through humility and fervent prayer he will whisper to you comfort and consolation and he will tell you the course you shall pursue and you shall know and realize that the Lord is ever with you.
You are one of the daughters of Abraham. You are of the blood of Israel and of the lineage of Ephriam and I seal upon you all the blessings that are promised to the faithful daughters of Adam. Forget not the Lord for the days of your youth and all the blessings that are necessary for your comfort and convinence in this life, and exaltations in the life to come, are thine for I seal them upon you. You shall have the privilege of going to the Temple and there receive your washings and annointings and there be sealed to him who is your choice for time and eternity. You shall be the mother of sons and daughters. You shall have wisdom given unto you to teach them in the ways of the Lord. You shall come forth in the morning of the first resurrection and be crowned in the Celestial Kingdom with all the faithful of the House of Israel and shall not go out no more from the presence of your Heavenly Father. I seal these blessings upon you by authority of the priesthood I hold in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Life Sketch by Merese Jensen
I should like to share with you this day a sketch of a beautiful lady and I should like to begin with the Life Sketch of my Grandmother as she herself wrote, (I did Grandmothers Life Sketch just as she wrote it to where she began telling about having her family) I made several comments that were made in that part of her Life Sketch as follows:
Grandmother loved to sing – she always had a song in her heart and as a result lovely melodies and lullaby’s flowed from her lips freely as she would cuddle a fretful child in her arms and they would soon be soothed,
Her devotion for her mate was a shining example for all as she adored him all her days and was a devoted and loving wife.
The night previous to delivering Grandmother’s Life Sketch I was prompted to read her Patriarchcal Blessing. The following things that Patriarch Bybee blessed Grandmother with particularly impressed me. He blessed Grandmother with a long life. "You shall spend you days in usefulness in teaching the young both by precept and example. The destroyer will seek to lead you astray but through keeping the commandments of God and walking in the paths of righteousness your feet shall be delivered from his snares and you shall never fall. Your mind shall be enlightened by the spirit of your Heavenly Father, your guardian angel shall become your companion." Her blessing said she would be blessed with sons and daughters.
On January 7th, 1913 her Patriarchal Blessing was further fulfilled as she was blessed with her firstborn daughter Wanda.
I chose parts of a poem by Lillie Wangsgard (given at her own funeral by her grandson Lew A Wangsgard) because they were so symbolic of Grandmother.
"When the stork left me a bundle, all done up in flannel and lace,
I caught a glimpse of Heaven, shining in that baby face,
I thought it was the prettiest sight, that had ever came to my view,
I’ll admit she was red and wrinkled but isn’t a Rosebud, too?"
After Wanda she was blessed with six more lovely daughters then her first son, then two more daughters and her second son, nine girls and two boys in all.
"There’s measles, mumps and green apples, now their up on the shed,
I fish them out of a water ditch, then one sits in a red ant bed,
It’s not all fun raising youngsters, but with all the toil and strife
I wouldn’t miss being a Mother, for anything else in life.
Then when your son or daughter comes with their bundle of joy,
And see in that babies features, your own little girl or boy,
Life takes on new interests, there’s plenty to do in store
Giving a little help when needed. Life need never be a bore,
You know I’ve sometimes wondered, but now I understand,
Why they call them Grandchildren, it’s because "They are so Grand!"
"There’s a thrill being a Mother. There’s a thrill being a wife,
But I’d rather be a grandmother, than anything else in life!"
To which I might add she enjoyed being a great grandmother also as she enjoyed everything good in her life - whether a mother to eleven, a grandmother to 60, or a great-grandmother to seventy-seven in number.
Grandmother spent her days raising a fine family – working in the church in some capacity of every organization. She served as a Relief Society visiting teacher for 45 years.
A real high light of her life was the 10th of March 1962 when she and her beloved companion celebrated their Golden Wedding with their family and friends.
It was a difficult task for me to eulogize Grandmother not because of things to say but keeping my emotion controlled enough to say them.
I have often said of Grandmother that she was the closest thing to a Saint of anyone I have ever known. She had a lovely spiritual quality always about her. She possessed both dignity and modesty. (Modesty not only in her dress but also in accepting praise about herself.)
She both studied and lived her religion spending many hours doing temple and genealogy work.
Among her many attributes her family and friends will remember her for was endless patience, kindness, unbound less love, thrift, not only with material things but with time, as she was always busy, whether it was (to name just a few) cooking, cleaning, canning, crocheting, making beautiful ceramics, embroidering some lovely thing, making a quilt, stitching beautiful temple clothes of which she made many, or fussing with her garden, yard, flowers or house plants. It seemed almost without exception that everything Grandmother cared for whether plant or person grew and flourished under her good influence and loving care.
I can honestly never remember a single complaint from her lips. She was the very essence of patience and long suffering.
It was always a joy to visit her home, as she was such a gracious hostess making all who went there welcome. A marvelous cook was one of her many talents. Her wholesome homemade brown bread was the best I’ve ever eaten.
One thing I learned to love her for and appreciate was her attitude toward work. Not long ago I was rereading the childhood classic "Little Women" and came upon a passage about work – that was the same philosophy that Grandmother had about it, for when I read it I immediately thought of her. "Work is wholesome, and there is plenty for everyone – It keeps us from being dissatisfied, bored and mischievous. It is good for health and spirits and gives us a sense of power and independence better then money or fashion. Make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful, old age will bring few regrets and life become a beautiful success." Louisa Mae Alcott
She did work hard and employed her time well and her life was a beautiful success.
There are many good things that this lovely gracious lady with her quiet simple ways meant to each of us if mentioned would make along and endless list. So for however she touched our lives – though she is gone her memory is locked up in our hearts forever to be treasured, loved and to learn from.
Sarah Elizabeth Stotter Campbell Bowles to whom we pay our last respects. A loving and devoted wife, as a gracious mother and example for all as charming and sweet a grandmother or great-grandmother as ever could be found. She truly was a daughter of Israel – of such is the Celestial Kingdom of God.
Speaker William Sperry
Brothers and Sisters, I have been deeply impressed and touched by the services and this congregation that has gathered here. It pays a wonderful tribute of respect and love for Clifford Bowles and his wife, Sarah Elizabeth Stotter Campbell Bowles. I certainly consider it an honor to having been asked to speak on this occasion and I do most humbly pray that our Heavenly Father will bless me that I may be able to say the things that are in my heart, and that there things that God would have me say. There were five of those boys in the Bowles family and every one of them became High Priests in the church. Three of those boys and every one of them have gone; Roy and Clifford are left here. I don’t know how many girls were in the family but one is left. We have 2 boys and 2 girls in my family who were very close friends of the family. I thought it was worth mentioning that these boys lived well enough to receive the Priesthood and be High Priests each of them. The honor and respect that is shown here this afternoon to Clifford and his wife.
Sarah Elizabeth Stotter Campbell Bowles, do you ever think what’s in a name? It came to me when I saw Sarah Elizabeth, Sarah the wife of Abraham, Elizabeth the mother of John the Baptist. As I thought of this posterity, it is and I know it is a wonderful comfort to Clifford. It’s not easy, I remember my Mother saying when her mother passed away, my Grandmother, I remember it and I was touched as these girls are. In those days, pioneers days, my Mother went to the Bowles family and helped in the birth of their children and Sister Bowles came and helped our family. I don’t know if she helped when I was born or not, but I know she helped when my younger brother was born. Pioneer days, wonderful people who settled in southern Utah. As I think of that town now and the wonderful people come out have there and families that lived there.
As I contemplate these boys and girls, Sarah their Mother, how pleased she is to see their testimonies, to see them married in the temple, to see the posterity they have. What a memory you girls have, there’s nothing like a mother and daughter, comfort that come to each of them. We sometimes speak of this being our last testimony, our last respects by her influence, her teachings was quoted here today by one of the granddaughters. Can you imagine as I counted them in my mind, 137? This man here that was a boy with me, him and I were scared to death when they asked us to pass the sacrament after being ordained a Deacon in the Chapel in Nephi. You can’t imagine hardly what it will be as these boys and girls have their families and they teach this same story of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
I’d like to read something of a man who we all love, President McKay, "Family cares came heavy, but not a complaint, forty-four children now praise her as a saint. Companion, Counselor, Advisor, always, my wife for Eternity, my own Emma Ray. You insist that I’m ninety; my limbs say your right, as I hobble along, a pitiful sight. But I shall always feel young with the Gospel that is true with loved ones around me and friends like you."
I could not help feeling this was fitting to read on this occasion as Clifford seems so alone here without Sarah, and this daughter and son sitting beside him and you other’s that are here, what a marvelous comfort that is to him. This same prophet that I quoted said that a family such as this is of far more value to God and humanity than all the silver and gold in the world. United family, prayerful family, righteous family, they will go in the world and exert a righteous influence. They will teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and people will listen because they are sincere, as they are of stock that is sincere.
Another thing that I thought of: "I come that you might have life and that you might have it more abundantly," the words of Jesus of Nazareth. Think of this girl starting out in life, being married in the Temple and having these children. You think what abundance means in the life of a woman or a man. Abundant life. They may have been hungry sometimes as I was, in striving to get enough things of the world to live, but their life was blessed abundantly. And they are of more value, and there accomplishment is of far more value than all the gold and silver in the world. There is no question about it in my mind. I hope I will be able to read this poem about Mother:
Gentle hands that never weary, Toiling love’s vineyard sweet,
Eyes that see forever cheery, when our eyes they chance to meet.
Tender, patient, brave, devoted; this is always Mother way.
Could her worth in gold be quoted, as you think of her today? (No you can’t)
There shall never be another, quite so tender,
Quite so kind as the patient little Mother,
Nowhere on this earth, you’ll find. Can her affection be duplicated?
None so proud, if you were fine. Could her worth be overstated?
No, not in any words of mine.
Now Clifford: I do not wish you joy without a sorrow,
Nor endless day without the healing dark,
Nor brilliant sun without the restful shadow,
Nor tides that never run against your bark.
I wish you love and strength and wisdom, goods of this world,
Gold enough to help some needy one,
I wish you song also blessed silence and
God’s sweet peace when day is done.
Perhaps we should not mourn for her today,
She is only gone across the way
Through a long wide flung gateway fare,
And left behind her pain and care.
She’s only gone a day before, to build and plan as she did of yore.
To prepare a place for her loved ones there,
That when their work is through they shall come and share.
She was so gentle, kind and good; another’s trouble she understood.
She counted her friends by the score.
For everyone loved her that left her door.
Her kindly smile, her pain would hide, her words of cheer, their fear deride.
She feared not death, for every day she followed the path of the narrow way.
Today she mingles with her dear ones there,
Free from the pain she had to bear.
Happy is she with her work well done, and wearing the crown so nobly won.
But ‘tis those who are here must feel her loss and
And now must carry the heavy cross, the loss of a loving Mother’s care,
The fond caress they use to share. The loving kiss from a dear wife’s lips,
The husband shall miss as his sorrow he sips.
As the days come and go in memory will live,
The love and kindness was her joy to give.
So Father in Heaven, she answered your call, help us to bear,
It one and all, that worthy we’ll be when we meet on that shore,
So we may dwell with her forever more.
There is just one other thing I would like to say and I’ll quote this, as it comes to me from the scripture "Let not your heart be troubled. We believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions, if it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you, and if I go I will come again and bring you unto myself. That where I am ye may be also. And whither I go ye go, and the way ye know; then Thomas sayeth unto Him, Lord we know not wither you goeth, how can we know the way? Then Jesus sayeth unto Him. I am the way, the truth and the light. No man cometh unto the father but by me." The words of Jesus of Nazareth, that Sarah Elizabeth worshiped and had a testimony that he was the Son of God and that in him was Salvation. Brothers and Sisters it’s a marvelous thing to belong to the church and the Kingdom of God. Sarah started young and stayed with it until – she was old – her spirit was born perhaps after mine. We are all children of God of our Heavenly Father. He is our Father. Jesus Christ is His Son. This is my testimony to you, to Clifford who has always been my friend and a dear friend. He was when he was a boy; he set an example that I could follow. I say this in sincerity of my heart. I’ve known him when he was a boy and when he was a man. I came to Idaho in 1913; I came to Clifford’s place in 1914 and worked for him on the farm. I know him and he knows me. I don’t think I was as good a man as Clifford.
Honors have been given me in the church, somebody saw some good in me, they advanced me in the Priesthood and gave me opportunities to work in the church which developed me and which has developed Sarah and don’t think that you children, that the influence she had will stop with her life here. It will be with you, you’ll remember her, I don’t know but what that she will remind you of it. She loved the gospel, she taught it, she lived it, and may you children follow her example I pray humbly in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
Speaker Reuel Chandler
This is a humbling honor my Brothers and Sisters. This has almost been a family reunion. It’s a little hard for me to understand just where I fit in. It has been a habit of mine for a long time to go the hospital every week or so and several weeks ago I went and visited the different floors. I met several of the Bowles children and I said, "What is the problem?" They said, "Mother’s here and she is in intensive care and we don’t know if she is going to make it or not." Weeks and weeks passed and she was still there. Last Wednesday, I went to the hospital. I went up to the floor where Sister Bowles was and asked the nurse and she said, "I think Brother Bowles is in the room and by the way he and 3 or 5 of the girls had been there all the time." So I went in and Sister Bowles knew us and spoke to us and shook hands but my she was tired. She was just so tired I thought how in the world can she hang on. I was reminded of the scripture and you will find it in the 11th Chapter of the Gospel of Mathew, Words of Christ, "Come unto me all ye that labor under heavy laden and I will give you rest; take my yoke upon you and learn of me, and ye shall find rest to your soul, for I am meek and lowly of heart, and my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
Now you’ll have a rough time convincing me that the gates of Paradise were not open with a welcoming hand of those who were suppose to be there when this good woman’s spirit left her body. I’m just as convinced, as I can be that Celestial Glory is her lot. I’ve known her for a long time and I can’t say that I know anything bad about her. I was impressed with the Life Sketch. You know we have it so easy now days Brothers and Sisters that unless you have lived years ago some of the things you talk about you don’t understand. I can remember there used to be the Burns; I herded cows out there when I was 8 or 9 years old. We got the cows from the people who lived in town and they paid us 5 cents a day. There weren’t many bridges and it was cold in the winter and all these things have come and gone and instead we have an almost affluent society today.
You know someone has said life is like a 3 act play and I believe this. We lived before we were born, I think probably all of you believe that, if you don’t its scriptural, it can be proved, because of the fact you were willing to listen to our Elder Brother’s plan you were permitted to come here upon the earth and except a second estate. This is not so long either as the Pre-existence or as Eternity and when we leave here then Eternity is ahead of us.
When I hear this Life Sketch and the Life Sketch’s of other noble people who go, I become congas of the fact that this is going to happen to all of us, death is something that nobody will miss and whether you like to or not, your going to be resurrected eventually and you are all going to Paradise, now we may not all be at the same place but we will go to Paradise and there’s going to be gradations. Brothers and Sisters in the Resurrection, let me just give you one scripture you’ll find this in the 15th Chapter of 1st Corinthians, Paul says, "There are Celestial bodies and bodies Terrestrial, but the Glory of the Sun, and another Glory of the Moon and another Glory of the Star; for one star differeth from another star in glory so also in the Resurrection of the Dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption, then as this friend is quoted from John; "In my Father’s house are many mansions." We are not all going to get in the place. Celestial Glory however; Brothers and Sister is that which is offered to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, but it will take effort to get there and it ought to be worth it.
I knew R. L. Campbell; I knew R. L Bybee, and Sister Bowles when she moved up here. I became quite well acquainted with Lloyd, with Retta and Vivian who were still home. The information and association that I have had and gotten from Clifford has been that which has been worthwhile. I want them to know that my sister Ada, Mrs. Tom Doman, loved them as her own family.
Well, you have sit here a long time. I don’t think I should talk longer. I just want to make 2 or 3 statements. Brother Clifford this isn’t going to be easy. I tried it, after 5 months I think it got tougher; I’m not telling this to scare you. Maybe it won’t be the same with you.
You know how to pray and you get comfort. Could I say to you boys and girls and grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great great grandchildren let’s see that this good man gets visited. Let’s see that he gets called on the telephone. Let’s keep in touch with him, don’t try to live his life, he doesn’t want you to do that. Don’t say, Dad come live with us, and don’t say Dad go here or there unless he wants to. Put your arms around him with affection and let him know you are available. This wonderful group of High Priests see that this Brother of yours get contacted will you? Call on him not only at his home, but also at church and other places. Let him know you are available. May all of us appreciate friends, family and opportunities and may we live worthy because after all this life is the time to prepare for Eternity. It is going to come as I’ve already said so let us live sufficiently righteous that when it does come we can hear from he who controls our destinies. This good woman has already heard, "Well done Thou good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." Sometime in that great future, wouldn’t it be wonderful, and it can if you’ll measure up, to meet Dad and Mother, Grandpa and Grandma, Great or great great or what have you, in that future where there is no more death, where there is no set in, nor strikes, nor blood shed, nor wickedness? Where we can continue to live according to our Father’s plan? It can done, but it takes living the type of life necessary while we’re here. May God bless us that this can be our happy lot. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, He, who if you please I recognize as my Elder Brother, Amen.
