Source: The Evening Herald, Provo, Utah, May 28, 1930. ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Thora Duke Porter, 93, wife of the late Theodore Owen Porter, passed away Friday June 11, 2004. Thora, the eldest daughter to Effa Skousen and Charles Albert Duke, was born March 23, 1911 in Lethbridge Alberta Canada. Thora's family had a great pioneer heritage and she was a life-long member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She graduated from Brigham Young High School in the Class of 1930. Her family moved from Provo, Utah to the Valley of the Sun in Arizona in 1923, where she lived most of her adult life. After high school Thora attended BYU for two years. Due to the war and the depression she had to return to Arizona to help the family. In 1942 she met and married Emmert Shaver and their son David was born in 1944. After the war, a single mother, Thora returned to college at Tempe Normal (ASU) and received her BS in education. She taught in the Washington School District in Phoenix until 1960 when she met and married Theodore Owen Porter, thereby inheriting a new large family. Owen was teaching at Mesa High School in Mesa, and the couple moved to their new home in Mesa. Thora transferred to the Scottsdale school district where she finished her teaching career. As a youth Thora's family was quite musical and she was in the family band often playing for church dances and activities. Her love of music was shared by Owen, and the two of them spent many happy hours playing their violins, the piano and singing together. Besides the love of music and teaching, Thora and Owen were avid "rockhounds". They did a lot of traveling around the country after they retired looking for special rocks and gems. Thora was a very generous woman. Her family and friends were blessed by her generosity as she was always there to lend a loving, caring hand. She had a spare bedroom that was rarely empty. After all was said and done, for all her loves, her love of the Gospel and her family were paramount. Thora is preceded in death by her sister Berniece Richmond, and her brothers Charles Dean Duke, Woodrow Skousen Duke, and Bernard Duke. She is survived by her youngest brother James R. Duke, her son David, "Duke" Shaver, her granddaughter and primary caregiver, Kimberley M. Shaver and grandson Charles Albert Shaver. Thora is also survived by her stepdaughter Marilyn Davis, 13 grandchildren 20 great grand children and 3 great great grandchildren. She will also be missed by her 10 loving nieces and nephews.

By Luke Jones, May 04, 2014. IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - An Idaho Falls woman says she can claim descent to Bridget Bishop, the first accused witch hanged during the Salem Witch Trials in 1692. Even though Bishop lived more than 300 years ago, you can still see some of her in local author Laura Jo DeMordaunt. "I am a strong-willed individual and I stand up for the things I believe in, and I guess that's been passed down,” said DeMordaunt. Fascinated by her family's dark history, DeMordaunt said she began researching Bishop 35 years ago. "I have been back to Salem and into the Library of Congress studying old documents, reading books. Books, books, books, books,” said DeMordaunt. What she discovered became the inspiration for her own newly published book, “Thou Shalt Not Allow A Witch To Live.” It details Bishop's life and the times in which she lived through a first-person narrative. "I would call her probably the first American feminist,” said DeMordaunt. Bishop owned her own businesses and wore brightly colored clothing, which DeMordaunt said made her an easy target for accusations of witchcraft. "She allowed her taverns to be open late in the evening and for the sailors to come in to play shuffleboard and to bet and throw the dice and play cards and dance. I'm naming all the things that the Puritans hated,” said DeMordaunt. Bishop, like other accused witches, was convicted using spectral evidence, which essentially allowed witnesses to testify about things they saw in dreams and visions. “She was accused of looking at a baby and then the baby died,” said DeMordaunt. DeMordaunt says Bishop's story is still relevant today. "What happened to her is probably still happening today where we accuse people wrongly for something they did, and then we don't let people be individualistic,” said DeMordaunt. Bishop was the first of 20 women who were hanged as witches during the Salem Witch Trials. News article. @Apr2016
