LIFE & TIMES OF HENRY EYRING & MARY BOMMELI 
By Theresa Snow Hill

family
In compiling these stories from the life of my mother’s
father Henry Eyring, I had access to his own Autobiography or Diary
which he wrote partly from memory, partly as week by week or year by year
entries. Much of the material was also gleaned from incidents related by his close friends and associates. However, the largest source was from my own memory of stories told me by him or by my grandmother Mary Bommeli Eyring. Added to these was my own imagination which colored and enlivened each story. My own father, William Snow, died in 1892 and my mother, sister and myself (we were very young children) went to Mexico to live with these grandparents, so that my earliest recollections have this great and good man as one of the leading characters in my life’s story. If my children and grandchildren and all others who may read these stories are lifted up and inspired to live the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ and appreciate it as he did, I will be most satisfied with the effort it took to write them. Theresa Snow Hill , Logan, Utah, 1949.
This letter from the author was sent to family members along with an
unpublished copy of this book in 1949. I wrote these stories at the insistence of my eldest
daughter, Cornella. As children, some of the favorite stories of our evening
hour were stories from the life of my grandmother Mary Bommeli with whom I lived
for so many years, and from whom I heard these stories. Theresa’s daughter, Cornella Hill White, has brought to publication all of her late mother’s historical writings.
