Note | BIRTH and DEATH: B. 23 Aug. 1836, d. 15/16 July 1915. (FHL 982,442, Paris Idaho Stake cemeteries (burials), 1863-1970) The birthplace at that time was recorded "Leeds, County of York, Upper Canada." Also in Garden City Ward Records: "A. P. Cook, dau. David Savage and Theodocia Finch, b. 23 Aug. 1836 at Hasne Dist., York, Upper Canada. Baptized 1844 by J. Griffeth. Baptized 1844 by J. Griffeth. Rebaptized 23 Feb. 1876, by Hyrum Rich, . Received into the ward 30 April 1879.." (Garden City Ward Record of Members 1889-1894, Manuscript, Original record book Church History Library, LR 3095 7, p. 93-95.) FRIEND TO INDIANS David Savage was a great friend to the Indians. He learned to speak their language fluently, which came in handy many times. John Jacking told of his experience at Camp Floyd. While the U.S. Army was encamped at Camp Floyd, just for pastime they fired on some Indians which caused the Indians to go on the warpath. After several days, they were coming to kill settlers in the town when David Savage walked toward them without his weapons. He explained in their language that it was soldiers who killed their friends, not the friendly settlers. After a while the Indians settled down and put down their weapons. Grandfather's daughter, Amanda Polly, also knew the Ute and Piute languages. When the Indians would come and they would have trouble making them understand they would ask for Savage's Papoose, meaning Amanda, who had no trouble conversing with them. There were many trains fired on as they journeyed to California by the Indians. Grandfather Savage's services were in great demand as a protection to them. A company would often wait weeks to get him to go with them. ("David Leonard Savage," By Mary Theodocia Savage, p. 2) SWAN CREEK "Grandfather Cook was called to settle Goshen, Utah. There Amanda's first child, David Savage Cook, was born. For six years they lived in different places. Then in the fall of 1863 grandfather (P.W. Cook) was called to go to Bear Lake to help colonize that place. Amanda was in a delicate condition and could not go. She stayed at her father's home in Holden, Utah until the next spring. While at Holden, on November 12, 1863, she gave birth to twin girls. When her babies were a month old, the oldest one died. In the spring of 1864 she joined grandfather at Bear Lake. "In 1882 Amanda, and the first wife (Ann Eliza), each bought a home and small farm at Garden City. Being highly skilled she was kept busy taking care of the sick. When the first Relief Society was organized at Garden City, Ann Eliza Howland Cook chose Amanda for her first counselor. They labored together in that capacity for twenty years, with the same unity and love that had characterized their whole life. "After Ann Eliza died, Amanda still held the position of first counselor for about ten years. She also taught Sunday School and Primary for many years. When she was no longer able to nurse, she sold her home and lived with her family where she had many and pleasant retirement years. She was a great lover of children and young folks and enjoyed her family to the utmost. She died in Garden City on the 15th of July 1915, being ill only four days, lacking one month and eight days of being seventy-nine years old."
