Esther Effie Grow was born April 16, 1885 in a log cabin in Huntsville, Weber, Utah. She was helped into this world by her grandmother Abigail Starbuck Coffin. For some reason William and Esther wanted each of their children to be born in Huntsville in the log cabin, and no matter where they might be living, when Esther's time was near, they made the journey back to Huntsville. As the eight child drew near its time, she was on the train heading back, but she didn't make it and Charles Edwin was born in Blackfoot, Idaho. Effie was the last child born to William Moyer Grow and Esther Hunt Coffin. She died 4 July 1967 in Ogden, Weber, Utah following a stroke that left her paralysed and unable to speak. She was buried in the Ogden City Cemetery.

Effie's family was quite nomadic and moved from place to place. At the time of Effie's birth the family was living in Camas, Idaho. Her father and brothers were working in the railroad shop. In 1888, William and Esther moved the family to Alberta and Cardston Canada. They spent about 13 months there and headed back to Idaho .

Effie's sister Abbie and her husband Joseph were homesteading land in Ammon, Idaho. Joseph also helped to get land for William and Esther. William received 160 acres for $350 which he farmed and raised cattle and sheep. The family was living in a two room log house, and here William and Esther finished raising their family. Their land cornered Abbie and Joseph's land. Every one of their boys lived with them a while after they were married, so the little two room house must have been very crowded at times.

Effie was sent down from Idaho to attend Weber Academy. The administrator of the school was David O. McKay a close childhood friend of her brothers. One night at a local dance, she met a dandy by the name of Charles Leon (Lee) Poulter. Although they kept separate social lives they frequently kept running into each other. Eventually, the couple was married on September 6, 1911 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Nine months later they were blessed with a beautiful baby daughter whom they named Esther Elaine on June 10, 1912. Elaine was followed by Thomas Lorenez (Bud) August 6, 1914; Melba Cordelia March 28, 1916; Mayme Marquerite, March 28 1919; William Lawrence (Bill) October 8, 1924; and the biggest surprise of all Lou Jean February 1, 1931, when Effie was 46 years old.

Effie stayed at home and tended house and children, Lee worked as a Carman for the Ogden Union Railway and Depot Company. They lived in Ogden except for a three year period where Lee was working in Elko, Nevada. After his retirement in 1943, Lee went into the vault business with W. O. Lambourn called Poulter-Lambourn Vault Compnay located on 2nd St., in Ogden.

Lee and Effie loved to go camping and would often times spend the entire summer up at their cabin on the nOrth Fork River (it was so hot in town during the summer). The cabin was located up the canyon in Liberty. Lee would travel back and forth to work.

After retirement, Lee and Effie also spent a great deal of time traveling the country with their friends and the UP Old Timers.

Lee died on September 23, 1954 after a brief illness at the age of 71. He is buried in the Ogden City Cemetery.

Effie lived in the house on Cross Street, tending her garden and raspberry patch. She watched her granchildren grow-up and marry and welcomed her great-grandchildren. She was a member of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers. Effie continued to travel and attended many family reunions, and was very interested in family history. A large celebration was given by her family on her 80th birthday, and was well attended by all her friends and family.

Early one evening in June, Effie suffered a stroke while on the phone with a friend. She never recovered and passed away. She is buried next to Lee in the Ogden City Cemetery.
