BIOGRAPHY: (written by his daughter Mary Caroline Averett 31 Mar 1961 at Springville, Utah. It was written for the Daughters of the Pioneers, Camp Mt. Flonette, South Utah County , Spanish Fork, Utah )
Llewellyn or Lew as he was always known, and his family came to Utah in 1865. They left Wales in 1857 and after arriving in St. Louis, Missouri, his father and oldest brother, Ed, were employed in the coal mines, and later farming, to pay their way to Utah.
I don't know much about his childhood days, but I think he must have been very happy, for he was of cheerful disposition, always singing and whistling. I know he had good bringing up because of his gentleness and kindness to us. He loved his father, mother, brothers and sisters very much , also later his wife and children.
His father died when he was thirteen years old and from then on, he was pretty much on his own. He attended school in Spanish Fork, Utah, and although he only went to the third grade, or third reader, as we used to call it, he could read and write very well.
He married at 21 to Mary Jane Thomas (no relation) a very industrious, hard working, kind, loving and wonderful woman. To them was born nine children: Margaret, William , Elizabeth, Llewellyn, Mary Caroline, Rachel, Pratt, Jennie, and Ross. Margaret died when she was 21 months old.
He and mother took Aunt Maggie Beck's baby girl, a twin, and raised her as a twin to Lew until she was nine or ten. They had to give her up to her father at that time, which grieved them very much. We loved her as one of the family and still do. She is now Margaret Baadsgarrd. Aunt Maggie died at childbirth a very young woman.
Dad was a kind and loving father, a little on the rough side at times, but always ready to help his fellow man in time of need. When any of us needed punishing instead of whipping us, he would talk kindly to us, showing us where we were wrong. This kind of punishment hurt more than any one could imagine, but when he told us to do something, we knew he meant what he said, and we didn't exchange words, we just did it.
He and mother worked perfectly together, helping each other in every way they could. He was employed transporting freight to Phoenix, Arizona and Pioche, Nevada. He was s a great lover of the outdoors. He drove two teams on his freight wagon and spent many cold nights sleeping on the ground. He was a lover of animals, especially horses, and always kept beautiful teams. He kept them clean and well fed. He owned and operated one of the first horse-power driven threshing machines in Spanish Fork, he also owned and operated one of the first horse power driven well drivers in Utah. He drove ( I think she means dug) wells at the State Hospital in Provo around 1887, and many wells in Palmyra, Spanish Fork, and Lake Shore.
He was a member of the police force in Spanish Fork for sometime. He was a successful farmer and dairyman, his butter was delicious, and was in great demand by all who ever ate it. If the coolers were not clean or didn't smell just right, he wouldn't put his butter in them until they had been cleaned out.
When I was six months old, he moved his family to what is called Palmyra Ward. Having homestead a good tract of land just outside the old fort. He was the first one to move outside the fort. Some of the Saints thought he was crazy. They said, "the Indians will kill your family and burn you out". But they had no trouble. It was a hard struggle for a few years, in fact, we lived in a one room log house for several years, a family of eight.
In 1898, mother died leaving seven children. Although Dad was broken hearted, he did a good job managing the home and keeping us together. After two years, he married Sarah Jane Banks Huntington, mother of seven children. She was a hard working, economical, good woman, who was good and very helpful to us. There were three children born to them , Ann, Grant and Grace (twins). Grace died when she was s ix weeks old. Although he was providing for a family of fifteen, he did very well, with the help of brother Lew and the others.
He was very entertaining, was a good singer, and had a good sense of humor. In the evenings, when we were all l home, I would play the organ, and Dad and the brothers an d sisters would sing hymns and old folk songs, that he had t taught us. His clear beautiful voice rang out above all the rest. He sang at many dances and parties in his younger days.
He was very handy with the sick, sitting up with them on many occasions through the night. The old saying of his that I remember most was "Never get excited, always keep cool in time of trouble or accident. You can't do anything g if you are excited."
He died suddenly on 18 Oct 1912 at home in Palmyra . I was living in Bingham Canyon at the time. I was broken hearted when I received word of his death. I knew that I had lost not only my dear dad, but also my best friend . My husband, Forn Averett used to say ; "if there were more men in the world like your dad, this would be a much better world in which to live."
Many relatives and friends mourned his passing. His funeral services were held in the City Pavillion at Spanish Fork, and the house was packed.
BIOGRAPHY: This was added by his son Llewellyn Thomas II:
At one time a family by the name of Burt were burned out. They lived in Palmyra, and the Bishop wanted several families of the ward to take them until something could be done about their home. There were twelve or fourteen in the family . But Lew felt that at a time like this a family should not be separated, so he took them all into his home until the their's was rebuilt.
They way he kept his milk and butter cool and fresh was very simple. He built a little shed over a big ditch that run along the east of his house. Water was always in this ditch. The shed was screened on the bottom to keep the flies and other insects out. He was very clean and fussy with his butter. When he took it to the store, he would stick his head in the cooler and if it didn't smell just right , he would yell for the store keeper to clean the cooler out t before he put his butter in.
Lew II said, "Father told me if I would push a certain person in the ditch, he would give me a new buggy and a beautiful team. He kept his ford, for after I had pushed this certain person in the ditch, I got the team and buggy". W hen he spoke of his mother and father, you could feel the l love and admiration he had for them.
Obituary: Llewellyn Thomas died 18 Oct 1912 at his home in Palmyra. Funeral servers were held Sunday afternoon, at the Spanish Fork Pavillion at 2:00 pm Undertaker, E.N. Carlquist was in charge. Pall bearers were: Robert Banks, John Bank s, Edward Banks, Richard Money, John H. Hughes, and J. Wylie Thomas. Bishop A.T. Money was in charge of the services.

John Moore was the first speaker, he said "Lew Thomas Spent his life helping to build up the community". Solo by Bessie Gardner, "Sleep and Forget" Henry Gardner was the next speaker, he said, "Lew Thomas was an honest man and an honest man is the noblest work of god". A.T. Money was the last speaker, he said "Lew Thomas gave assistance to those in need and he sustained those in authority." The choir sang "Farewell, All Earthly Honors." Benediction was by Bishop George Hales.
