I was born at Cedar Fort, Utah, and when a young girl moved with my parents to Dingle, Idaho, where I was called to work in the Ward Sunday School, and Primary. Through the teachings of my parents, and the work in these organizations, I gained a testimony of the Gospel.
At the age of twenty-two I married Wm. Quayle, and about two years later I was called to serve as second counselor to Sister Lindsay in the Ward Y.L.M.I.A., and worked in that capacity for seven years; and then was appointed president of the organization and served seven years.
We moved to Montpelier, Idaho, in 1916, and in the same year I was called to labor as counselor to Sister Lissie Tueller, who was President of the First Ward Y.L.M.I.A. I also, served as a member of the Bear Lake Stake Y.L.M.I.A. Board from 1915 to 1917.
When the Montpelier Stake was organized, I was called by President Edward C. Rich to serve as counselor to Sister Agnes Pearce, President of the Stake Relief Society, and at that time was set apart by President Rich as chairman of the Red Cross work in connection with the Relief Society work. We distributed Red Cross material to all the Ward Relief Societies in the Bear Lake Stake for one and in the Montpelier Stake for a period of three years until it was discontinued after the signing of the armistice. I worked in the Relief Society until I moved to Salt Lake City in 1925.
In 1927 I became a member of the Seventeenth Ward and was called to serve as chorister in the Relief Society which position I held for three years. Also, served as a visiting teacher for eight years. In 1934 I was called, by Bishop Nicholas G. Smith, to do endowment work in the Salt Lake Temple; after six months Apostle George F. Richards called, and set me apart, to officiate in the temple ordinances where I worked for three years.
I married President Heber C. Austin, and moved to Idaho Falls, Idaho, and was there called by Bishop Warren Wright to serve as counselor to Sister Ruth Hart, Pres. of the Relief Society. I was released as counselor in October 1941, and am at present serving as a visiting teacher in this ward.
