Historical Sketch

The Call ancestral line can be traced back for several generations in America. Anson Call (son of Cyril Call, whose father Joseph Call fought in the Bunker Hill war and served a term under Washington) was born May 13, 1810 in Fletcher, Franklin Co., Vermont. He came to Utah Sept. 19, 1848 in charge of 20 wagons of Brigham Young's Company. He married Emma Summers Feb. 24, 1857 at Salt Lake City (daughter of Thomas Summers and Susannah Stockall Summers). She was born Aug 1828, Broadheath, Worcestershire, England. She came to Utah Nov. 9, 1856 and pulled a handcart across the plains in James G. Willy's Handcart Company.



She had five children of which I , Sarah Call, am the youngest, born Dec. 8, 1870 in a four-roomed adobe house in East Bountiful. I spent my younger days helping with small tasks in the house with mother and picking and cutting fruit. My schooling was limited, as I was married young to Truman Heap Barlow, a farmer and stock raiser who resided in Chesterfield, Idaho, but later moved to Bountiful, where we now reside. I am the mother of nine children and all alive except the second.



Being the second wife, I was married at the time of the raid, when the marshals were hunting the polygamists and imprisoning our Mormon men. I was compelled to live apart from my husband for five years, he in Chesterfield and I in Bountiful. Afterwards, things quieted down and we built a home on a farm. I am now educating my children and supporting my son on a mission in Great Britain.



Every opportunity I get, I do work in the temple for my dead ancestors, and trying to tend to my duties in the church and try to look on the bright side of life. My greatest desire is to raise my children honorable children of Zion and live a worthy Latter-Day Saint.
