<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1927 ~ 2020</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Our wonderful father returned home to join his wife and family Wednesday afternoon, July 8th, 2020. He was 93.<br />
<br />
E Doyle Robison was born in Fillmore, Utah, May 31, 1927, the fourth son of <a href="http://thebioplace.blogspot.com/2014/10/aaron-wayne-robison-1896-1986.html">Aaron Wayne</a> and <a href="http://thebioplace.blogspot.com/2015/01/fern-ashby-1898-1954.html">Fern Ashby Robison</a>.<br />
<br />
He attended Fillmore schools and served in leadership of the class of '45. He also ran the mile for the Millard High Eagles, anchoring the medley relay team.<br />
<br />
Just 28 days after his graduation from Millard High School he enlisted in the Navy, serving 13 months, learning to be a radar technician.<br />
<br />
Four months after his discharge, Dad began a three-year mission to Sweden. During his mission, he served as President of the Härnösand Branch and of the Sundsvall District.
<br />
Upon his return to Fillmore, he met Beth Spencer. After a two-year courtship, they were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple, on August 30, 1951. Together, they enjoyed 64 grand years full of family, service and adventures. She preceded him in death on November 27, 2015.<br />
<br />
Applying the study habits he had developed in the Navy, Dad graduated with honors from BYU June 2, 1952 and with a Masters of Science in Retailing, from NYU on June 11, 1952.<br />
<br />
Dad went into retailing and marketing, taking him on trips around the world, and establishing relationships with leaders in the industry. The capstone of his career was launching Skagg's Institute of Retail Management at BYU in 1976. During his career he moved his growing family to Ohio, New Jersey, Minnesota, Maryland, New York and Utah.<br />
<br />
Dad was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served in many positions and was called to serve as President of the England London Mission from 1991 – 1994. He and mom served other missions together, including one to the Stockholm Temple and another to the Family History Library in Salt Lake. He also enjoyed the opportunity to serve as a sealer and as a stake patriarch.<br />
<br />
Dad is survived by his five children – Catherine (Dale) Johnson, Linda (Jeff) Woodworth, Kevin (Kaye Cronquist), Stephen (Darby Howse), and Jeffrey (Kimberly Tucker); his brother, Richard (Mary Meitl) Robison; and his sisters-in-law, Joan (Clair) McKee; and Audrey Spencer; 23 grandchildren, 53 great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.<br />
<br />
Dad was also preceded in death by his parents, and his brothers, Ashby, Ray and Duane.<br />
<br />
Due to restrictions because of Covid-19, a private graveside service will be held. In lieu of flowers, Dad would like donations be made to the General Mission Fund of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.<br />
<br />
Our family would like to thank Trina and the entire staff at the Memory Care Facility at the Sheridan in South Jordan for their consistent, tender care and service for our father which surpassed all our expectations.<br />

<b>Arnold Leroy Howse</b>, loving son, brother, husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, completed his mortal probation Saturday, June 18, 2016 at his home in Orem, Utah surrounded by half of his twelve children. He won the battle against a fast-growing glioblastoma, surpassing the doctor's expectations by five months.<br />
<br />
Arnold was born Friday, December 5, 1941 at his parent's house on Third street in Harbor Springs, Michigan, the youngest of three children and only son of <a href="http://thebioplace.blogspot.com/2015/01/clifford-leroy-howse-1915-1957.html">Clifford Leroy Howse</a> and <a href="http://thebioplace.blogspot.com/2015/01/gertrude-caroline-catob-1916-1999.html">Gertrude Caroline Catob</a>.<br />
<br />
As a youth, Dad quickly showed his musical aptitude, taking up the trumpet at the suggestion of the band director, Joseph Jezisek. He played in a dance band and marched in parades as a band member for most of his life. In high school he also played football and was active in other school activities.<br />
<br />
It was at High School in band class that he met his future wife, <a href="http://thebioplace.blogspot.com/2015/01/joanne-marie-heinz-1942-2006.html">Joanne Marie Heinz</a>. They were married in the Presbyterian Church at Harbor Springs on Friday, September 18, 1959. Together they shared their love of music with their children and community.<br />
<br />
Arnold became a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1963 shortly before his graduation from college. He became a biology teacher at Carrollton High School in Saginaw and later taught at East Jordan High School. He and mom nurtured the gospel in Northern Michigan, where he eventually became Branch President and then the first Bishop of the Petoskey ward.<br />

In 1974 Arnold became the owner of the candy store and changed the name to Howse's Candy Haus. He retired from teaching and introduced Northern Michigan style fudge around the country, eventually opening shops in Provo, Utah, DelRay Beach, Florida and finally in Park City, Utah. His son Christopher, now runs the candy store in Harbor.<br />
<br />
Joanne passed away in 2006.<br />
<br />
Arnold married Janis Heiner on February 6, 2009 in Orem, Utah. Together they adopted Janis' grandson, Taygan.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Arnold is survived by his wife and his children, Bethany Anne Downey (Brent), Darby Lee Robison (Stephen), Annette Marie, Clifford Leroy (Martha Hanneman), Carey Lizabeth Anderson (Mark), Christopher Heinz (Teresa Maxwell), Arnold Price (Carrie Bennett), Jody Jeffrey (Adria Hunt), Daniel Leslie (Mandy Quintero), David Andrus (Karen Peterson), Andrew Michael (Alicia Hansen), Timothy Donald (Luz Longoria), Taygan, his 64 grandchildren, and 25 great-grandchildren. Arnold is also survived by his sisters, Joanne Swiss (Gerry) and Karlene Marsh (Dennis). He was preceded in death by his parents, his wife Joanne, and a granddaughter Christina Shell Howse.<br />
<br />
Funeral services will be held at 11 am. Wednesday, June 22, 2016 in the LDS chapel, 114 S 400 W in Orem. A viewing will precede the services from 10 to 10:45 am. Interment will be in the Orem City Cemetery.

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Biography:</span></b><br />
<br />
Born in December of 1941, his mother's pregnancy kept his father from going into the service. As the first (and only) boy, he was the delight of his parents.<br />
<br />
As a small boy, Arnold lived in a small house on Third St. in Harbor Springs, Michigan. This is where he was born, actually, and had his bed in his parents bedroom until they finally built a partition to give him his own room. This house was located across the street from the Catholic playground. It was at this house where he and his future wife, Joanne Heinz, made their first, conscious meeting. Cliff and Gertrude were having a party to sell Guardian Service-ware (aluminum pans) and they invited their old friends, Donna and Leslie Heinz, who had just moved back to the North Country and were living on Michigan St in Petoskey.<br />
<br />
His Aunt Frieda Melching had loaned his young parents the money to buy the house and she was a frequent visitor and overseer of the family (self-appointed).<br />
<br />
At the time Arnold was living at this home, the Harbor Springs Feed Store was still standing and functioning, at the nearby corner of Main and Third (where the present Post Office building now stands). The Dye family lived in the old house next to them on the corner and the Dye boys were among his earliest friends.<br />
<br />
During this time period, Cliff worked at the tannery in Petoskey. The little family were very close-knit and enjoyed the typical outings of a Harbor Springs family; swimming and picnics at Menonaqua Beach and 5-Mile Creek. They went berry and mushroom picking and had many extended family get-togethers with both the Howse and the Catob relatives.<br />
<br />
Birthdays and Christmas were major occasions! His parents made these times very special for their 3 youngsters. Christmas was done in the old, German tradition with Santa bringing the tree and all of the gifts after the children were fast asleep on Christmas Eve. The children were always treated to quite a spectacle when they awakened, as their parents always bought gifts that were the very most that they could manage.<br />
<br />
When Arnold was 8 or 9, his parents moved their young family into the house that had been built by his grandfather, John Chudobba (Catob). His grandfather had lived his final years in the shop where he also had a tinsmith business. Uncle Karl Catob and his wife and boys had lived in the house briefly, prior to Grandpa's death.<br />
<br />
Again, Aunt Frieda helped Cliff and Gertrude finance the buying of the home. She had a very good lookout, over the house, from her apartment home above the furniture store and kept close track of the family. (See Aunt Frieda's notes)<br />
<br />
While living in the "big house", Arnold enjoyed a succession of bikes which his father presented him with. Going from first one to another motor scooter, he was usually smaller than the vehicle.<br />
<br />
During this time, a wonderful man became the 'music department' at the Harbor Springs schools. Joseph Jezisek was hired as the singing teacher for the elementary grades as well as the band director. Since the band had dwindled to practically nothing, he had a major task ahead of him. Knowing this, he began actively recruiting young people from the school. Arnold was invited to play the trumpet and gladly accepted. Seeing the interest Arnold had in playing his instrument, his parents bought him a used trumpet from Bob Hall (which had been played, by Mr.Hall, in an Army Band). This instrument became Arnold's most prized possession. He was seen, and heard, playing it by anyone passing by his home for the next several years. Arnold was soon known by the townspeople for his special talent of playing his horn. And he was also known to his fellow band members as Jess's (as Mr. Jezisek was affectionately called) pride and joy. Arnold was often asked to play solos, both in band and in other local events. As the 'favored one', he was generally the person asked to direct and oversee the band if Jess had to leave, momentarily. For the final concert of Arnold's senior year, Joe Jezisek chose a closing song which included a very difficult, and showy, trumpet solo. Young Arnold declared it too difficult for him to play but Jess had his heart set on it and was determined that Arnold could do it. After much practicing, the evening finally arrived. The band played the first portion of the piece and then Arnold stood for his last high-school solo. As he began to beautifully play the intricately fingered notes, the audience was spellbound. Jess continued to direct with unashamed tears running down his face. Arnold played his heart out. He played the fancy runs and hit that final high note to the great pleasure of the director, the entire band and the community who had always taken great pride in the ability of the boy.<br />
<br />
His best friends, as a teenager, were two boys who also played instruments in the band. Ronnie Niswander, who played the bass horn, and Gerald Wells, who played an alto saxophone. These three became bosom buddies and formed a small dance band. Their repertoir was made up, mostly, of old 30's and '40's music which had been left by the high school band of that time period. IN THE MOOD and other similar pieces became their trademark. The 3 friends, along with their band director, became a close group. Jess began a tradition of taking a trip, with the guys, each spring after school was out. These outings began with an overnight campout at Wilderness State Park, in Mackinac, and culminated, at the close of their senior year, with a trip to the U.P. and Canada in a refurbished school bus owned by Ronnie's parents.<br />
<br />
Along with his band endeavors, Arnold also played high school football and performed in a high-school play, a cowboy comedy in which he played the now infamous "Stinkweed" and was a regular in the yearly school talent shows. As a youngster, he was seen painting in the window competition before Halloween. This was a regular tradition, in Harbor Springs, for several years. The youth of the town were invited to come down on a certain Saturday, early in October, and paint the picture of their choice on the assigned store window.<br />
<br />
Arnold, being very artistically talented, was the winner of his age-group, one year. That same October, he was chosen as the winner of the Halloween costume contest, tho they decided to give the prize to another child, since he had just won the painting contest. His costume was an original, half girl-half boy outfit with the girl part of him adorned with wood-shaving curls.<br />
<br />
With Arnold's gorgeous, long, dark, eyelashes and his flashing dimples, he was an unusually attractive young man. However, with all of these pluses going for him, he was extremely shy. Still, the students at Harbor High were often impressed with the flashy clothes he wore. Among the most memorable were; the red corduroy pants with the red pullover, V-neck sweater and the charcoal-grey pants with the pink belt and pink sweater.<br />
<br />
Some of Arnold's treasured memories of his childhood were: riding the bus over to the tannery, on a summer's day, and eating lunch with his Dad; going fishing and hunting with him; and just "hanging out" with Cliff while he worked on a project in the shop or relaxed in the house. Cliff exited Arnold's life while yet a young man. Too early, by the reckonings of his family and friends- Cliff was only 42 when he died of colon cancer and Arnold yet a young boy of 15. Still Clifford had lived to see his boy become a fine, young man and had derived great pride from his accomplishments, especially his expertise with the trumpet. He was occasionally heard to make comments such as how the band just wasn't the same without their football-playing, first chair trumpet player, etc.<br />
<br />
Living in down-town Harbor Springs, all of his growing up years, Arnold often spent time at the Harbor Springs Bathing Beach, where most of the young people of the time spent their spare time, in the summer. Still, probably because of his mother's fear of the lake, he did not learn to swim until after he was a grown man.<br />
<br />
As a young teen, Arnold was a frequent attender of his family church, the First Presbyterian Church of Harbor Springs. An unusual occurrence, even in the '50's, Arnold was often seen at his family's regular pew even when his mother and sister, Karlene, were not in attendance. A lone teen-aged boy in church was a rare thing. Arnold often read from his Bible and considered things of a religious nature.<br />
<br />
The young girl who sat observing him, from the choir loft, was that same little girl who had once visited Arnold and his mother as a new-born baby and again as a small, 6-year-old at a Guardian Service party. Her name was Joanne Heinz, and she was very much impressed with this unusual fellow.<br />
<br />
Interestingly, Joanne had grown up next door to Arnold's paternal grandmother, Sarah Ellen Philips Overholt Howse. The two had become instant friends and had spent many hours discussing Sarah's life, including tales of her children, often including adoring comments of a mother for her youngest child, Clifford Leroy Howse. Joanne had developed a great fondness for Clifford, as well as the rest of his siblings, simply as a result of hearing these stories. Ironically, when Arnold took the Communicant's Class, with the Presbyterian minister, Dr. Lauren Brubaker, Joanne and one other boy, Harold Marshall, were the only members of the class. Attempting to strike up a conversation with the cute boy, after one of the early classes, Joanne found him to be painfully shy and unwilling to participate in a lengthy discussion. They were 12 and 13 years of age, at this time.<br />
<br />
Finally, brought together once again because of band, Arnold and Joanne began to become special friends. Initially, Ronnie and Gerald, having seen that there was a spark of interest in their buddy, drove him to Joanne's home, one evening, and demanded that he go in and invite her for a ride. Joanne's parents noticed the car parked in front of their home and mentioned it to her. She went to her upstairs bedroom for a better view and, seeing what the situation was, she became very angry at his resistance and determined not to go with them if he did ever acquiesce. However, when Arnold was finally convinced to knock on the front door of Joanne's home, she was there and did join the boys for a brief ride around town. This was the first of many outings with Ron, Gerald, and, sometimes their current girl-friends. Actually, this was the only way that they could get anywhere as Arnold was only 15 and could not legally drive. Before he became 16, however, he was given a special driver's permit, as his father had died that summer and his mother did not drive. Soon the two young people were enjoying drives along Shore Drive and other less-patrolled roads.<br />
<br />
It wasn't long before the general public could see that there was a long-term relationship brewing between young Arnold and Miss Heinz. When Joanne told a friend that she was considering becoming an elementary French teacher, the other girl commented, "Oh, Joanne, you will never be a teacher. You will marry Arnold and have 12 kids!" How prophetic!<br />
<br />
A whirl-wind courtship followed, football games, band excursions, basketball games, picnics out on the beach, berry-picking, family dinners. 'Joanne and Arnold' became as familiar a phrase as 'Joanne and Donnie' had always been. Though 'Grandma' Howse had died in 1955, her grandson and one-time neighbor were beginning a gradual solidifying process.<br />
<br />
Shortly after his high-school graduation, Arnold and Joanne were married. He began college that fall, in the initial year of the local community college, North Central Michigan College of Petoskey. The young couple rented a small cabin in Petoskey on Spring St. (where Villa Pizza now stands). They were delighted to finally be able to stay up late nights, Joanne making french fries and Arnold studying, or just being together was wonderful to them! Their social life was mainly going for rides and just talking.<br />
<br />
After a year of living in the little cabin and attending school at NCMC, Joanne's father helped them finance the purchase of an 8x35' mobile home. This they hauled to the Heinz' back-yard where the young couple lived for the remaining time of his NCMC attendance. As they were in the process of purchasing the trailer home, the birth of an adorable baby girl occurred. Arnold, Leslie and Arnold's sister, Joanne, moved the couple's belongings into the trailer while Joanne and baby Bethany Anne were in the Little Traverse Hospital. This trailer provided the family with a comfortable and inexpensive home for their remaining college years.<br />
<br />
Arnold was a frugal young husband and father in his attempt to accomplish getting an education. Besides attending his classes and doing the inevitable home-work, he had various part and full-time jobs, beginning with that of bus-boy job at Nubs Nob ski hill, in Harbor Springs, his first year of school and concluding with a job flipping burgers at a 10-cent hamburger stand in Mt.Pleasant called The Pixie. As a result of Joanne taking a summer job working at the fudge shop in Harbor Springs, Arnold began working summers for Mr. Crump at Crump's Candy. This was to prove to be a major turning point in the life of Arnold and his family as they entered into a long-term relationship with the shop.<br />
<br />
During his college years, another sweet daughter was born to Arnold and Joanne- Darby Lee arrived shortly after Arnold transferred to Central. Now there were two well-loved little girls to amuse their parents and entertain one another. It was the beginning of a life-time friendship.<br />
<br />
In the summer of 1962, Joanne was working at the resort cottage, on Harbor Point, of Mrs. Bentley. While in a religious discussion with Mrs. Bentley's daughter, Mrs, Whitlow, Joanne was disturbed with Mrs. Whitlow's comments as to her lack of belief in Jesus Christ being the Son of God. After struggling with religious questions for the remaining summer months, the Howses returned to Mt. Pleasant for the fall semester. In October, Joanne was visited by 2 Mormon elders. She soon accepted the teachings of these young men and was baptized on her 20th birthday, December 6, 1962.<br />
<br />
Arnold was initially hostile to the idea of this strange religion but soon became interested and began studying with the missionaries. The following summer found Arnold and Joanne again in Harbor Springs, Arnold working at the fudge shop and Joanne on Harbor Point. They attended church in Traverse City, on occasional Sundays, but more often just stayed in their trailor home reading the Book of Mormon.<br />
<br />
That fall Arnold returned to Central, leaving Joanne and the 2 girls in the trailor in Grandma and Grandpa Heinz's backyard as Joanne was expecting a new baby. Since both of the other babies had been born in Petoskey, they had decided that this little one would be also. This time alone gave Arnold a chance to meet with the elders currently working the Mt. Pleasant area, to study and pray on his own, as well as to spend time in the home of some members of the Church. He even went to a "grove of trees" (in the Bamber Woods, a plot of land owned by CMU) to pray.<br />
<br />
After a painful separation of several weeks, Annette Marie finally made her appearance on the earthly scene. This made it possible for the little family to be reunited as they took their trailor and returned to Mt. Pleasant. The undaunted elders (the 7th or 8th set that had met with Arnold) once more visited and challenged "Brother Howse" to a baptismal date. They and his wife were dumbfounded by his acceptance of their offer. Arnold was baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on October 29, 1963. Annette was only 10 days old. This was to become a monumental day in the history of the Howse family!<br />
<br />
Arnold built a tiny set of light blue bunkbeds for Bethany and Darby while Annette slept in the wooden cradle that her Daddy had made when Bethany was on the way, and in which both of her older sisters had slept as babes. This made it possible for the 3 girls to fit nicely into the tiny bedroom of the 2-bedroom mobile home.<br />
<br />
A few months after Arnold's baptism he graduated from Central Michigan University and, that same day, the tiny LDS church group (Sunday School) in Mt. Pleasant was dissolved. He applied for and was accepted as a biology teacher in Carrollton High School. This meant a move for the family, the trailer, and their belongings. It also meant a change to a new church family, the Saginaw Ward. Their new home was a trailer court in Bay City.<br />
<br />
For a few months, the family lived in this place, with the master bedroom window nearly touching the fence which was the division between the trailer court and the 'Mr. Hot Dog' drive-in. Peeking thru the curtains was often cheap entertainment. In the spring of 1964, the mobile home was sold to pay off a college loan. This change saw the Howses move to Saginaw and to a small, 2-bedroom home on Webster St. The Ratliff family, members of the ward, lived across the street and the daughters often babysat for the little Howses.<br />
<br />
Many good people entered the lives of Arnold and Joanne and their children as a result of their move to Saginaw. The Reeves, Perc and Verda, were the unofficial parents to all of the young couples, there. Perc recruited several young Utah grads to work for General Motors, in Saginaw. These provided a strong nucleus for activity and testimony in the ward. They also became life-long friends for the family.<br />
<br />
Little baby Clifford Leroy, the oldest son of Arnold, was born the first winter they lived in the Saginaw home. What a joy to finally have that darling boy!<br />
<br />
While in the small rented house, Joanne and Arnold were initiated into the runnings of the Church, as well. Arnold was soon called to be Young Men's president and also to be a stake missionary and a Seventy. These missionary callings were to affect a major portion of the lives of the Howses.<br />
<br />
While in that same home, Carey Lizabeth was born to become the 4th and last baby girl. Tho adored by her sisters and her parents, little Clifford (Kippy) was still wondering where there was a little brother for him to play with. In time, yet in the Webster St. home, the long-awaited event occurred. Christopher Heinz Howse joined the wee group. Kippy was soon overheard whispering to his little brother of plans to go biking, camping, and playing together.<br />
<br />
In 1968 the Webster home was placed on the market, by the landlord. This brought about a move to a large, lovely, colonial-style house, owned by the Reeves, on Bay Road between Bay City and Saginaw. Everyone now had some 'elbow room'.<br />
<br />
In July of 1969. Mr. Crump having made Arnold a generous offer to become the eventual owner of the fudge shop, Arnold, Joanne and 6 1/2 children moved back to Northern Michigan. With the assistance of Mr. Crump and Herm Volz, a member of the church in Petoskey, Arnold purchased a house on Willis Ave., in Petoskey. That fall, Arnold Price (Pricey) was born and Arnold began teaching miscellaneous classes at East Jordan High School.<br />
<br />
After a difficult winter, Price becoming afflicted with a possible brain tumor, and the fudge store having a terrible fire, life began to quiet down to a degree. Arnold soon became deeply entrenched in being the parent of 7 little people as well as having many and varied church callings.<br />
<br />
Some time passed before the appearance of the 'little boys', as they were labeled, but Jody Jeffrey, Daniel Leslie, David Andrus, Andrew Michael, and Timothy Donald were eventually born to round out Arnold's family.<br />
<br />
Shortly after Jody's birth, Arnold became the owner and operator of the candy store, which was now called, HOWSES CANDY HAUS. His older children were quickly allowed to participate in the candy business, wrapping chews, waiting on customers, and eventually to doing most everything. The little ones worked their way into these things as they grew old enough, also.<br />
<br />
Family, church, and fudge became the basis of Arnold's life. As the children became grown and left home for college, marriage, and missions, Arnold tried his hand at several endeavors. He began candy shops in Provo, Utah; Delray Beach, Florida; did a summer stint in Petoskey, Michigan; and a business in Park City, Utah. Each added an element of good experiences to the lives of Arnold and his family.<br />
<br />
Watching his family grow and become fine, productive people gave Arnold the greatest satisfaction of his life. Always a devoted father and loving husband, his family was his real joy.<br />
<br />
During the growing up years of his children, Arnold often held many positions in the church. Among them were: ward mission leader; Primary teacher of young boys; counselor in the branch presidency; Branch President; and Bishop, when the branch became a ward.<br />

<br />
<i>Otsego County Herald Times, </i>Wednesday, November 28, 1928, p. 1:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Another Pioneer</b><br />
<b>Of County Is Dead;</b><br />
<b>Lived at Vanderbilt</b></div>
<br />
Albert House died at his home in Vanderbilt, Thursday Night, November 22, at about ten o'clock following an illness, which covered a period of about two years.<br />
<br />
Nearly two years ago it was discovered that a cancer was working in his left lower jaw. While every effort was made thru medical care and operations at different times to destroy the dreadful disease, it was of no avail. At times he suffered untold agonies, but thru it all he was ever most kind and patient to those who had the care of him, and made little or no complaint of the ravishing pains and onslaught of the diesaes, until a few weeks ago when he became so much worse that he was kept to his bed most of the time until the end came to his blessed relief.<br />
<br />
Mr. House was born July 9th, 1865, at a little place then known as Elk Creek near Brown City in Sanilac County. He was the 4th youngest of the eight children of Daniel and Kathern Snell House, who were formerly of Canada.<br />
<br />
He grew to manhood in and around Sanilac County and on October 28, 1888 was united in marriage to Miss Joanna Barrett of Detroit. To this union there were born four children, three girls and one son, all of whom survive.<br />
<br />
His wife Joanna died November 2, 1908.<br />
<br />
In the fall of 1892, he and his family came to Vanderbilt. He has since resided in or on a farm a few miles from the village, with the exception of about eighteen months spent near New Berry.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
In Dec. of 1911, he was married to Mrs. Stella Whitmarsh, and to this union one child was born. When the child was about two years old the mother died, and Mr. House was again alone.<br />
<br />
In December of 1917, he was again married to Mrs. Grace Sawyer and since that time he has lived in the village.<br />
<br />
Mr. House was well known and respected by all who know him. He was kind and congenial to those whom he came in contact with, and was ever a husband and father, leaving to mourn their loss, besides his widow, five children, Mrs. John Spreeman and Mrs. Frank Sehl of Vanderbilt, also Miss Carrie, Mrs. John Bakrud of Detroit and James House of Lansing and sister, Mrs. Ida Epsey of Lincoln, Michigan.<br />
<br />
He was laid to rest in the Vanderbilt cemetery, Rev. Herbert officiating.<br />

<b>James Milton House </b>was the second husband of Sarah but her true love, so she said. They had several children together, lost their first daughter, Eisey, when she was 11. They also raised his son, by his first wife, Raymond. Sarah and Raymond were very close. James worked in the lumber camps in Pellston for several years where Sarah often worked as a cook. Their oldest children were born there. When Myrtle was ten years old, which would be in the year of 1914, her family moved to an old farm which stood at the top of the east hill in Harbor Springs, where the stadium parking lot once stood, followed by the city skating rink and currently is the site of the care facility, Bay Bluffs. Myrtle has told her family that she was glad to be back at the spot where she spent much of her childhood, before the end of her life. From this location, they moved to a 2 story frame house on Lake Road. Sarah told Joanne Heinz that the house was yellow when SHE bought it. She said that their bluff house was really a shack with space between the wood (logs?) and didn't keep out much weather. The only work I remember her saying was to do laundry for the resorters. Perhaps she had earlier income? Sarah mentioned that the Lake St. home had no bathroom, running water or electricity when they moved into it. Her children were enthralled with turning on the lights when they finally had electricity put in. She still had the little hand pump over her sink and the outhouse in the backyard when the Heinz family moved in next door to her. Her entire family stored potatoes for the winter in her Michigan basement.<br />
<br />
Myrtle told of her father, James, singing them to sleep often, and telling them stories. She fondly recalled going to the lumber yard at the foot of the East Hill, in Harbor Springs, to walk home with their father. One day, he led them to the edge of the lake, near the Wequetonsing entrance, and dived in. He proceeded to swim to Harbor Point and back. This to the delight of the children!<br />
<br />
James' death record, in the Emmet County Courthouse, says that he was a machine operator, probably in Lansing, but he was a lumberjack for most of the years he was with Sarah. It also states that he died of aterioschlerosis and that he was 85 at his death.<br />

<b>Beth Spencer Robison</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(August 30, 1932 - November 27, 2015)</div>
<br />
<div>
Our mother left her earthly family to begin her adventures with her heavenly family on Friday evening, November 27, 2015.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Beth Spencer Robison was born Tuesday, August 30, 1932, in Montpelier, Idaho, the daughter of <a href="http://thebioplace.blogspot.com/2015/01/seymour-horne-spencer-1888-1959.html">Seymour Horne</a> and <a href="http://thebioplace.blogspot.com/2015/01/sarah-sophronia-quayle-1899-1936.html">Sarah Sophronia Quayle Spencer</a>. She joined a loving family with two older sisters and a brother, <a href="http://thebioplace.blogspot.com/2015/01/helen-jean-spencer-1926-1965.html">Helen</a>, <a href="http://thebioplace.blogspot.com/2015/01/robert-william-spencer-1927-2010.html">Bob</a> and <a href="http://thebioplace.blogspot.com/2015/01/norma-spencer-1930-2014.html">Norma</a>. When Beth was four, her mother passed away shortly after their youngest sister Joan was born. The Spencers are a musical family, and Beth developed and passed on a deep love for musical appreciation and performance.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
The Spencer family moved to Fillmore, Utah, where Beth grew up, graduating with the Millard High School Class of 1950. During her high school years, she caught the eye of a young returned missionary, E Doyle Robison. They were married on Thursday, August 30, 1951, in the Salt Lake Temple.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Mom and Dad raised their family in the east, making homes and friends in Ohio, New Jersey, Minnesota, Maryland, and New York, before returning to Utah. As she managed her home and raised her children, Mom continued her studies, culminating with the completion of a Master’s Degree from BYU in Recreational Management in 1986.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Mom’s life centered around service, in the home, church, and community. She served as Director of Project Read in Provo UT, Mission Mom for the England London Mission, Assistant Matron of the Stockholm Temple, LDS Employment Specialist, and volunteer in the Family History Library in Salt Lake City.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Franklin Alonzo Robison was born at Crete, Will County, Illinois on July 29, 1851, son of Joseph and Lucretia Hancock Robison. In March or April 1854, when Lonny, as he was called, was two years old, the family was finally ready to cross the plains to come to Utah. The whole family had worked long and hard to prepare for the long trek. The family consisted of the father and mother and ten children. An older brother was married and was against the move to Utah, so he stayed behind, and never did come to Utah. The second son, Benjamin, was 23 and was also married and had a son. The others were Joseph V., 21, Alvin, 20, Henry, 17, Lucretia, 13, Proctor, 11, Almon, 9, Albert, 7, Adelia, 5, and Lonnie, 2. They had seven wagons, four with horse teams and three with oxen. Among their loose cattle they had some milk cows, yet some of the cows they milked they worked under the yoke as oxen. Theirs was one of the best equipped Mormon Companies that crossed the plains and they traveled in unusual comfort for that time. They arrived in Utah in the late summer, 1854.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">When they reached Salt Lake, Brigham Young asked them to go down and settle in Fillmore, Millard County, Utah. The people had to live in a fort to protect themselves from the Indians. Joseph and the boys helped build the fort. They lived in the fort eight or ten years.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Joseph acquired property in the town. He divided it and gave each of his sons a lot so they could build homes. Lonnie, being younger, didn't get a lot, so he proceeded to take up a lot of his own. When his father found out what he was doing he gave him a lot. Lonnie was engaged to marry a young lady by the name of Sarah Prisby. she died. Later he started to keep company with a girl by the name of Isabella Eleanor Pratt, who came to Fillmore to teach school. They were married April 10, 1872 in Salt Lake in the Endowment House.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Isabella Eleanor Marden Pratt Robison was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, September 1, 1854 to Parley P. and Belinda Marden Pratt. Her father was killed when she was 2 or 3 years old. She grew up and attended schools in Salt Lake City. Her home was on what is now Richards Street across the road from the south gate of Temple Square. She started to teach primary age children when she was only 12 years old, thus earning her first wages. At the age of 15 she taught the Primary School at the University of Deseret. Her tuition was paid by her teaching; she also got her teacher's training at the same time.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">In October 1870 her family moved to Fillmore, Millard County, Utah, her oldest brother Nephi having been sent there by the church to look after the tithing as a tithing clerk. She met and married Franklin Alonzo Robison when she was 17 years old. She became the mother of 12 children. They are as follows: Alonzo Franklin, Parley Proctor, Joseph Alfred, Herma Lucretia, Belinda Pratt, Ruth Pratt, Isabella Pratt, Carrie Pratt, Alma Pratt, Harmel Pratt, Parker Pratt and Olea Pratt.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">She was a public worker for Fillmore and Millard County. She was secretary of the school board for many years, president of the Woman's Republican Club, county recorder. for two terms, deputy in the county treasurer's and county clerk's offices. She was an abstractor, making abstracts to many lands.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Isabella was stake president in the Relief Society of the Millard Stake, a position she held for eight years. At that time the stake presidents outlined the courses of study for their stake for the year ahead, and sent it to the general presidency in Salt Lake City for approval. She had to visit all of the different Relief Societies in the stake once a year. The stake included east and west Millard at that time,' and since she traveled with horses and wagons or carriages she usually had to stay in each ward at least two nights.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">April 22, 1912, at the age of 57, she was stricken with apoplexy and died April 23, 1912.<br /> </span><br />

She died January 31, 1938. He also married her sister, Lois Thorpe, on February 25, 1889. They had ten children, losing two when they were small.

<b>Mary Louise Higgins</b> was born 21 August 1897 in Superior, Douglas, Wisconsin.<br />
<br />
Her parents are Elisha Albion Higgins and Susan Mable Davis.<br />
<br />
She was a blue baby, which means she was born with a bad heart. It was twice its natural size with a leakage of the valve. Uncle Joe, her older brother would carry her around all the time to save her strength. She went to school four years and passed the eighth grade.<br />
<br />
Mary Louise met Frank Heinz in the Five & Dime Store where she worked. He played violin and he would sing to her the song, "<i>I Found A Million Dollar Baby in the Five and Ten Cent Store</i>".<br />
<br />
She was eighteen and he was thirty one when they married in 1914 in Superior, Wisconsin.<br />
<br />
They were together seven years and had five children: Floyd Leonard, Inez Marie, Carol June, Leslie Eugene and Lyle Kenneth Heinz.<br />
<br />
Leslie always said he was born in a barn: Mary climbed up into a hayloft after a hen and began the child-bearing process right there.<br />
<br />
When Lyle was just a toddler, Mary's husband Frank Jr. was killed in a hunting accident. After Frank died, Mary had to go to work once again to support her children, leaving her children in the care of family.<br />
<br />
Two years after Frank died Mary met George John Weyenberg and they were married.<br />
<br />
George and Mary heard from relatives that "good farm land" was available near Harbor Springs, so in 1931 they moved to the lower Peninsula. For a while they lived on Spring Street in a house across from Fred Main's house. The Heinz family next moved out to a fruit farm on a road towards Cross Village.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
May died January 18, 1932 in Petoskey, Michigan. The doctor who attended her said it was one child too many for her heart to stand. She was 35 years old.<br />

<br />
Helen Venera McBride was born February 22, 1833 at Villenova, New York, the oldest child of Reuben and Mary Ann McBride. When she was a year old her parents moved to Kirtland, Ohio, where her father spent much of his time doing church work, as he had been called for a minute man. When Helen was seventeen her father went in company with President Young to Utah. Two years later he returned to Kirtland to bring his family to the Great Salt Lake Valley. When they arrived they lived in Farmington and Springville. Sometime later they moved to Fillmore as her father was called to settle there by Brigham Young.<br />
<br />
Helen married Samuel Brown July 6, 1854. To this union two children were born: Florence Melissa, and Samuel. She was very happy with her family, though they were quite poor and she was obliged to go without many necessities.<br />
<br />
In October, 1856, the sad news came to her that her husband and Josiah Call had been killed by Indians. They were returning from the north when they were attacked by Indians on Chicken Creek Hill. They were shot, scalped and hung by their feet in a cedar tree. After this the Indians cut their throats and tied a red handkerchief around Samuel's neck.<br />
<br />
When her husband was killed Helen did not have flour in her bin, wood to burn, or money to buy the things needed for her little family. During the lonely years that followed she spend most of her time at the ranch, later known as Almon Robison's ranch, milking cows and making butter and cheese to sell. Most of the time she walked to town carrying her produce so she could sell it.<br />
<br />
After she had lived as a widow for thirteen years, she was married to Harley I. Colgrove on December 12, 1860 in Salt Lake City by Joseph F. Smith. To this union three children were born: Lester, Minnie and Eugene. Harley Colgrove served in the Civil War in "Company A" in the 20th Illinois Infantry.<br />
<a name='more'></a>After several years Helen was once again left a widow. She had to work very hard to raise her family. Her oldest daughter, Melissa, married Alma Greenwood and had four children. While the children were small, Melissa died, leaving Helen with another family to raise. She took the children and cared for them many years. Mr. Greenwood married again and cared for them part of the time.<br />
<br />
Helen's oldest son had heart trouble for many years. He was with Helen when he died at the age of twenty. It took her years to get over the shock. Through all her troubles, she was brave and cheerful and ready to carry on, and always true to her faith. During her later years Eugene lived with her and cared for her, trying to make her happy. But in March, 1912, when he was 38 years old he suddenly died. Of all her troubles, this seemed the worst.<br />
<br />
Her patient, peaceful, unassuming disposition made her a friend of all who new her. Almost everyone called her Aunt Helen. She died January 31, 1916 at her home in Fillmore.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>OUR EARLY SETTLERS</b></div>
<br />
The grim hand of death has again been stretched out in our midst this time claiming one of the sweetest old ladies it has been our good fortune to know. Helen Venera McBride was born at Villenovia, N. Y. on February 23rd, 1833. She was married to Samuel Brown at Fillmore on July 6, 1854, her parents having embraced the Mormon faith and emigrated to this section. From this union were born Florence Melissa and Samuel B[r]own. Samuel Brown, Sr., was killed by the indians on October 5, 1856. After living as a widow for 12 years she married Harley I. Colgrove in October of 1869, in Salt Lake City, from which union three children were born, Lester C., Minnie and Harley E. Colgrove. She was again left a widow by the death of her husband in 1881.<br />
<br />
In her death Fillmore has lost one of her staunchest supporters, death occurring on January 31, 1916. Had she lived to the 23rd day of this month she would have reached the ripe old age of 83. She was a devout member of the L. D. S. Church from whose chapel in Fillmore funeral services were held yesterday. The speakers at the funeral were James A. Kelly, John Cooper, J. Frank Day, and Thomas C. Callister all of whom testified to the sterling character of the deceased. After some special music by the choir, the remains were followed by a large cortege to the Fillmore cemetery, where interment took place.<br />

Dear Friends, I want to tell you<br />
Of a Lady, who to me,<br />
Is just a little better than<br />
The best of folks you'll see.<br />
She's pure excellence in the traits<br />
of being sweet and good and kind<br />
And I'll venture that she's just the same<br />
In everybody's mind.<br />
<br />
I've loved her since I was a kid<br />
For something I can't forget.<br />
She had Alice and Mother had me,<br />
And in Relief Society we met.<br />
Well, Alice had some candy<br />
And I think a little gum,<br />
And because of her persuasion<br />
Alice finally gave me some.<br />
<br />
Now folks, that's just a little thing<br />
But she touched my childish heart<br />
And from that day on I've watched her<br />
And now her excellence I'll impart.<br />
She's perfection in old fashioned kindness,<br />
Reverence, loyalty and honesty.<br />
Well, I'll tell you who the lady is<br />
She is Minnie C. Ashby.<br />

Also celebrating wedding anniversaries on the same date will be a daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Hubert L. Houser of 359 Bristol-av., NW, and a granddaughter and grandson-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. John Duvernay of Petoskey.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Frequent Grand Rapids visitors in recent years, Mr. and Mrs. Crane spent most of their married years in Michigan. For several years Mr. Crane was manager of the municipal electrical power plant at Lansing and subsequently manager of the Owosso gas plant. In addition Mr. Crane served as general manager of the Rockford, Ill., water and electric light plant and manager of the Bangor Me., gas plant. He supervised the work the first time a mine was electrified in Ohio.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Mr. Crane was born in Flora, IL. His wife, 75 years old, was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. They were married at Cincinnati, to which city they returned a few years ago. He left retirement at the start of the war to take a "temporary" psot with one of the largest electrical concerns in the midwest. Still busy at the "temporary" job, Mr. Crane insists he'll find time to retire yet.</div>

<br />
Rockford lodge of Elks gathered around the banquet board last evening to do honor to Guy G. Crane, retiring superintendent of the city water department, and to bade him farewell before he left their midst to go to Lansing, Mich. He was presented with a Rockford watch and his wife was given a silver vegetable dish, also made in Rockford.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Dinner was served at 6:30 with about 250 present. Al J. Holtz called them to order after dessert, introducing T. D. Reber as toastmaster. Mr. Reber paid a tribute to Mr. Crane and reviewed what he had done in the city since he had been here.<br />
<br />
Mayor Bennett gave him much credit for the present efficiency of the water department, said he had reduced the pumpage 25 per cent, saved a million gallons of water for the city a day, and had put the department in better shape than it ever was.<br />
<br />
Harry B. Norton, Harry N. Johnson, Bruce Garrett, Emmet Wilson, J. V. Riley, B. F. Harris, Fred E. Carpenter and Dr. C. J. Sowle also responded to toasts, the latter making the presentation speech.<br />
<br />
A feature of the evening was an impromptu poem by B. F. [Benjamin Franklin] Harris which described his sentiments as follows:<br />

Around the festive board tonight<br />
All are merry and gay,<br />
But a tinge of sadness underlies<br />
Cause one is a goin' away.<br />
Some will sing and some will shout<br />
All will make some noise,<br />
But a tinge of sadness underlies<br />
We're losin' one of the boys.<br />
The banquet's dry; you know why,<br />
We have a champion here!<br />
He likes the noise, he loves the boys<br />
But Lord how he hates beer!<br />
Sing ho! for the man<br />
Sing ho! for the friend!<br />
Sing ho! once more and again,<br />
God doesn't make much better en<br />
Than Brother Guy G. Crane.<br />
<br />
[This quote comes from another, un-sourced, article about the same Elks Banquet]:<br />
<br />
There were many good points brought out in the exceptionally fine addresses made at the farewell dinner but the thought expressed by Mr. Crane was the gem of the evening.<br />
<br />
"You men who put your arms around me and took me into your hearts and homes when I came to you seven years ago a stranger, will never know what a tremendous thing for my betterment you did. You did more - much more - for me than I have done for Rockford. I know you have done as much for other young men. I know you have taken them into your hearts and homes, have put their feet upon paths that lead to better and bigger things and I want you to realize what a splendid big thing you are doing for us younger men. That's why every young man who goes out from under your training and tears himself from your homes and your friendship and from your city to seek bigger tasks in bigger fields, is always and eternally a Rockford booster. That's why while I shall give Lansing the best that is in me, shall strive my hardest to make good and live up to the splendid things you have said about me as best I can. I shall forever boost for Rockford as long as memory lasts and speech is given me."<br />
<br />
<i>Unnamed newspaper</i>, Saturday, November 29, 1913:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Loss to the City.</b></div>
<br />
The resignation of Guy Crane as superintendent of the water department, will generally regretted by all citizens and his departure means a loss to the municipal service, for he has proven a most faithful, capable and painstaking servant of the people.<br />
<br />
Mr. Crane possesses the push, ability and capacity to have accomplished much good in the water department had he remained here, but he can hardly be blamed for leaving, in view of the fact that the offer which he has accepted from Lansing, Mich., carries with it nearly double the salary he has been receiving in Rockford. During his incumbency Mr. Crane has inaugurated a number of changes for the betterment of the water system and he has many others in mind, the plans for which he had not fully matured. His place will not be an easy one for the mayor to fill.<br />
<br />
Mr. Crane is a most genial, likable fellow, who has built up a large circle of friends since he came here seven years ago. They all hate to see him leave Rockford, but at the same time rejoice in his well merited promotion. Mr. Crane has entered most heartily into every movement which has had for its purpose the boosting or betterment of Rockford, and he will be much missed when he leaves the first of the year.<br />

<b>Elizabeth Ann Ashby </b>was born Tuesday, September 26, 1876, at the St. George, Washington County home of Nathaniel and <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5633622781954243344#editor/target=post;postID=446247133889020344;onPublishedMenu=posts;onClosedMenu=posts;postNum=0;src=postname">Martha Ann Truman Ashby</a>. She was the third child and oldest daughter in the family. She was named for her Grandmother, Elizabeth Boyes Truman.<br />
<br />
Elizabeth was six years old when her father, Nathaniel, died. She was eight when her mother married John Powell in 1885. She always went by the name Libby as a child. In 1888 the Powell/Ashby family moved up to Fillmore, Millard County, Utah. It was there that Libby finished her schooling and attended the Millard Academy.<br />
<br />
Because of John Powell's marriage to Libby's mother, John was convicted of co-habitation in 1889 and spent several months in the state penitentiary. On Christmas Day, 1889, Libby wrote to her step-father:<br />
<a name='more'></a> Fillmore,<br />
Dec. 25th, 1889<br />
<br />
Dear Brother Powell,<br />
<br />
It is with much pleasure that I write to you. We was glad to hear that you got the money that Ma sent to you. We are all well now. Today is Christmas and Betty asked us all up there and Jessy, too. We had a good time. Betty give me and Jessy a new apron and the rest of us a handkerchief apiece. Little Jesse got in his stocking, a plate, a book and two handkerchiefs. One had a cow on and the other had a lion. Rodney got a pair of new boots. Richard got a pair of boots, a collar and a cravat, and Ma got a teacup and saucer, and I got two white ornaments, and I guess that poor you did not get anything, but I am glad that you will soon be home. Well, I guess I will quit for this time. I am sorry I did not write before this time, so goodbye till I see you.<br />
From your loving daughter,<br />
Libby.<br />

On Tuesday, June 19, 1894, Libby married John Sheridan McBride, son of Reuben Augustus McBride and Harriet Columbia Williams. The young couple made their home in Fillmore for a time. Their first two children were born there. Libby's second child and only daughter, Martha, only lived about 18 months. Eventually the family moved to Tooele County, Utah, where their last child was born. Libby and John had the following children:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Van Francis McBride, b. 20 Apr 1895, d. 5 Jun 1951, m. Lily Mae Isgreen, 16 Apr 1919 (D)<br />

Martha Ashby McBride, b. 5 Jun 1900, d. 19 Dec 1902<br />
Ray Ashby McBride, b. 13 Feb 1916, m. Aurelia Nielsen, 30 Jun 1937</blockquote>
The McBride family settled in Lincoln, a small town north of Tooele, where they were active members of the Lake View Ward. Libby served as President of both the Relief Society and the Primary in that ward. She also served faithfully as a block teacher for many years.<br />
<br />
In 1942 Libby's husband, John, died after a long illness. Libby eventually moved to Tooele to be closer to her sons.<br />
<br />
On Monday, May 7, 1956, after an extended illness, Elizabeth Ann Ashby McBride died, aged 79 years, 7 months and 11 days. She was buried next to her husband in the Tooele City Cemetery 3 days later. The outline of her funeral service was published in the local paper:<br />

<b>Martha Ann Truman</b> was born Thursday, May 2, 1850, at the Cottonwood, Great Salt Lake County home of Jacob Mica and Elizabeth Boyes Truman. She was the oldest child of the family. She was named for her Grandmother, Martha Spencer Truman.<br />
<br />
By the time she was a teenager, her father answered Brigham's call to go south, where the family settled in the Mountain Meadows country of Washington County, Utah Territory. It was in that area that she came to know the Ashby family, probably when the Trumans would travel in to St. George for supplies and trade.<br />
<br />
Martha married Nathaniel Ashby, on Thursday, August 11, 1870. The couple was sealed in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City. Nathaniel was a newly called Bishop. He had been sustained as the Bishop of the St. George 4th Ward the previous November. 20 year-old Martha joined his family as the second wife. Nathaniel had previously married Mary Virginia Garr and she was not quite 10 years Martha's senior. Nathaniel was almost 15 years older than Martha.<br />
<br />
Nathaniel and Martha had 6 children together. Their first child, a son, was born at the home of Martha's mother, in Mountain Meadows. The rest of Martha and Nathaniel's children were born in St. George. They were:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Richard Truman Ashby, b. 2 Apr 1872, d. 14 Oct 1920, md. Minnie Colegrove, 14 Nov 1894<br />
Jacob Henry Ashby, b. 2 Mar 1874, d. 21 Apr 1881<br />
Elizabeth Ann Ashby, b. 26 Sep 1876, d. 7 May 1956, md. John S. McBride, 19 Jun 1894<br />
Alice May Ashby, b. 8 Apr 1877, d. 22 Apr 1881<br />
Emma Luella Ashby, b. 21 Jan 1879, d. 24 Apr 1881<br />
Rodney Carlos Ashby, b. 12 Dec 1880, d. 1 Nov 1904, md. Jennie Warner, 9 Jan 1901</blockquote>
Tragedy struck the Ashby home in 1881. Martha’s granddaughter records that diphtheria broke out in their home that summer. The death of 3 children in less than a week would have been a hard trial for anyone to bear. Martha's sister wife also lost a child that same summer. It was a period of great tribulation for the Ashby family.<br />
<br />
It appears that the family turned to the Gospel for comfort. Martha received her patriarchal blessing later that year on December 4, 1881 from William G. Perkins. Nathaniel had received his blessing three days earlier. Martha's blessing gives us a small glimpse into her life and character. It states: "Thou art an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile...You will go to the central stake of Zion. There you will have a house built unto you in the name of the Lord. You will keep that as a paradise. Your neatness will be admired by all that see it, for the glory of your Redeemer will be there, and you will see as you are seen and know as you are known." She was also blessed that "your children will grow up as men and women in the gospel and accomplish a great and glorious work."<br />
<a name='more'></a>Nathaniel was suffering from tuberculosis at that time. His illness was of such concern that the Brethren agreed to send him on a mission to the Sandwich Islands, in part to help him recover his health. Martha and Nathaniel's oldest son by his first wife accompanied him on that mission. Martha's blessing also stated: "You will go with your husband and help him bring many souls to a knowledge of the truth. You will return home with your husband bringing many sheaves with you." They left for the Hawaiian Islands about two weeks after Martha's blessing.<br />
<br />
The change of climate didn't have the desired results and the Ashby's decided to return home early in 1882. Nathaniel's health took a turn for the worse on the trip home. In probate court Martha testified that she "was with him at the time of his death, that he died on the Nineteenth day of March A.D. 1882 near San Francisco while sailing from Honolula, Sandwich Islands to San Francisco on his way to his home in the City of St. George, County of Washington, Territory of Utah".<br />
<br />
The story has been passed down of Martha's feelings of loss and helplessness when she arrived in San Francisco. She was distressed that she had no money or means to convey her husband's body to their home for proper burial. Family history relates that she was met by a stranger on the docks of San Francisco. He shook her hand and there she was given an envelope that contained sufficient funds to purchase tickets for herself, her step-son and to ship her husband's body to St. George. Martha's patriarchal blessing also suggests the identity of the stranger that provided her with such timely assistance. Her blessing states: "You will shake hands with John the Beloved, disciple of Jesus. Then and there you will get the renewal of your strength". Other family tradition suggests she was assisted by the Three Nephites.<br />
<br />
In the 1880's plural marriage had been outlawed. Martha is listed as the guardian of her children, but she is unrecognized by the court as Nathaniel's wife. Mary Virginia Garr Ashby was listed as Nathaniel's widow and only after Mary passed away in 1886 were Martha's surviving children given a portion of his estate.<br />
<br />
Martha found some solace in temple work. Again, her patriarchal blessing states: "You will do a great and glorious work for your dead." That work would provide blessings for more than just the people Martha served by proxy. Indeed, it was probably at the Temple that sometime between late 1884 and early 1885 she met an Englishman named John Powell. John had been sent to St. George from Fillmore, Millard County, to serve a mission in the Temple. He recorded in his journal that they were married on Friday, March 20, 1885.<br />

This marriage necessitated great changes in Martha's life. John was 28 years older than Martha and he lived over 160 miles away from St. George. They had three children, boys, together. The first two were born at Gunlock, probably on the Truman ranch. The last son was born in Fillmore. They were:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
John Franklin Powell, b. 22 Jul 1886, d. 5 Jun 1887<br />
Jesse Truman Powell, b. 11 Apr 1888, d. 16 May 1972, md. Blanche Bills, 17 Oct 1910<br />
md. (2) Hazel Ralphs, 23 Dec 1920<br />
Nathaniel Ashby Powell, b. 15 Feb 1891, d. 17 Oct 1896</blockquote>
When John had completed his mission, Martha sold her home in St. George, packed up her children and moved north. By that time her oldest son, Richard, was a teenager and able to help with driving the wagon and cattle. The Powell's settled in Fillmore. Martha was John's plural wife and because he married her, he was arrested, convicted of cohabitation, and spent several months in the State Penitentiary.<br />
<br />
Martha and John lived for over 6 1/2 years as husband and wife. She was given the opportunity to decide how she would pass beyond the veil. Her patriarchal blessing states: "if you desire it with all thy heart, your body shall never die. You will go through that change that shall be equivalent unto death." The choice she made is summarized in John Powell's journal:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
December 10th [1891], Martha was troubled by reason of a swelling on her neck. We thought it was an abcess and poulticed it. It became very painful. Henrietta came and applied onions with lard and course flour, which gave great relief. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Xmas Day [1891], Henrietta still attending to Martha's neck. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
New Year's Day, Martha and I went to Henrietta's and I had dinner. Beautiful, bright day.<br />
Saturday, Jan 9th, May Powell married to Lars Rasmussen, by Bishop T. C. Callister. Martha very sick. Therefore we did not go to the wedding. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
12th, The Dr. attending Martha, also Jessie Huntsman, also Jesse Frye. The weather very cold.<br />
Jan 31st, Snowing. Martha still sick. Sister Jackson, our neighbor came many times and made the bed for Martha. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Feb. 7th, Martha still sick. Been snowing. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Feb. 14th, Martha still sick. Bright day. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Feb. 21st, Martha still sick. Beautiful morning. Martha had Richard telegraph to her mother, return telegram: "How is your mother?" Answer, "Worse." </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Martha died Friday evening Feb. 26th, and was buried on Sunday the 28th.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I took little Jesse and Nat to my daughter's Jessie Huntsman, Saturday the 27th and stayed there. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
... Martha was buried on Sunday the 28th Feb. Her mother and sister, Hester, came on the following Sunday, March 6th and was disappointed in not having the pleasure of seeing Martha alive.</blockquote>
Martha's future with her family is also described in her patriarchal blessing: "You will hear the sound of a great trump. You will look and see Jesus and all His holy Saints with him. You will be caught up to meet Him and go with them to that great feast, the supper of the Lamb. You will sit down with your children and partake of its rich bounties. There you will see the Lamb of God, in the power of His glory, and you will partake of part of his likeness."<br />
<br />
Her gravestone records: In Memory of Martha A. Beloved wife of Nathaniel Ashby. Born May 2, 1850 Died Feb. 28, 1892 [sic]. She was a kind and affectionate wife a fond Mother and a friend to all.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Obituary</b></span><br />
<br />
<i>The Progress</i>, about 22 Oct 1920 [found in the scrapbook of Scott Ashby Speakman]:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Richard T. Ashby</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Laid at Rest</b></div>
<br />
A depressing gloom was cast over the whole community last Saturday when the sorrowful news was passed from one to another that the esteemed citizen, Richard T. Ashby, had died unexpectedly and apparently very suddenly of heart failure at his farm. Saturday morning he was found by two neighbors in his farm house in a sitting position where he had apparently died a sudden and painless death. The fact that he still wore his boots and his hat indicated that he must have come in from the days work, sat upon the couch and passed away without a struggle. It is thought probable that he died on the evening of October 14th.<br />
<br />
The funeral services were held last Monday and the Ward Chapel was filled beyond capacity, not only with townspeople but many form all parts of the county and other parts of the state. It was one of the largest funerals ever held in Millard County.<br />
<br />
The speakers were all eloquent and feelingly earnest in extolling the many virtues of that good man. They were Bishop Rufus Day, John Cooper, Attorney James Alex Melville and Judge D. H. Morris. Resolutions of respect and condolence from County Officials at the Court House were read by County Attorney Grover A. Giles. The group of lawyers and court officials now holding court here also presented resolutions of respect. Court was adjourned for the day in recognition of Mr. Ashby's faithful services as County and District Court Clerk for three successive terms.<br />
<a name='more'></a>Mrs. Helen Derrick who came down from Salt Lake especially to attend the funeral, sang very beautifully "The Holy City". The ward Choir led by T. Clark Callister furnished appropriate music.<br />
<br />
The floral offerings were profuse and most beautiful -- flowers coming from many parts of the state between St. George on the south and Salt Lake on the north.<br />
<br />
A large cortege followed the remains to the silent city where the grave was dedicated by Bishop Rufus Day.<br />
<br />
Richard Ashby was born at St. George April 2nd, 1872, the son of Nathan and Martha Ashby. They came to Fillmore in the year 1885. Both of his parents have been dead many years.<br />

Mr. Ashby has always been active in church and civic affairs and has held many positions of trust. At the time of his death he was a director of the East Millard Canal Company and Republican Precinct chairman. His friends are legion, won honestly by a life of kindness and service. He was big hearted, honest, industrious and a potent power for good. The people of Millard County will not soon forget the life and service of Richard Ashby.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Floyd Rowse Tanner</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1938 ~ 2013</b></div>
<br />
Dr. Floyd Rowse Tanner, 74, passed away on July 16, 2013 in Salt Lake City, Utah.<br />
<br />
Floyd was born Sept. 19, 1938 to Douglas Floyd Tanner and Alta Lucille Rowse. He graduated from East High School and the University of Utah. Floyd went on to receive a DDS from USC in 1964.<br />
<br />
After graduating from dental school, Floyd returned to Salt Lake City and set up his dental practice in the Holladay area. He met JoAnn Kjar and three months later they were married in the Salt Lake Temple. They had six wonderful children and have added eight very special grandchildren. Floyd's deep love of his family, church, and friends was evident. He was a sensitive and caring dentist and prided himself on being painless in his care. He was a member of the American Dental Assn., Utah Dental Assn., the Salt Lake Dental Assn. from 1964 to present, and held many leadership positions in them. Floyd was also a member of the American Society of Preventative Dentistry, American Assn. of Dental Examiners, American Academy of Operative Dentistry, Western Regional Examining Board, to name a few.<br />
<br />
Floyd loved to paint with both watercolors and oils. Going to Monterey with Ed Maryon's watercolor groups each summer to paint on site was a treasured treat and many wonderful pictures evolved from these trips. He had a wonderful baritone voice and he sang in several choral groups with his wife, JoAnn.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Floyd was also generous with his time volunteering in the community. He was known for his willingness to teach dental health to the elementary children and they loved the "toothbugs" he drew for them. He was called as a dental consultant for Missionary Medical and he provided free dental care for many of the foreign missionaries serving in the Salt Lake missions.<br />
<br />
Our family would especially like to express our appreciation to the neuro staff at IMC and especially the staff at Care Source for the excellent and compassionate care given to Floyd and the kind support of our family.<br />
<br />
Floyd is survived by his wife JoAnn K Tanner; children Mindy Johnson, F. Tyler Tanner (Shawni), Erin Tanner, Kimball Tanner, Sarah Bruner (Todd), Lynsie Olsen (Paul) and his grandchildren Samantha Johnson, Alex Johnson (Paige), Nick Johnson, Tasia Tanner, Tanner & Cambria Bruner, and Evie & Madelyn Olsen. Floyd is also survived by siblings Joyce Stalnaker (Bob), Gayle Cromer (Ken), and Bruce Tanner (Stephanie). Floyd is preceded in death by parents Douglas & Alta Tanner, grandson Ethan Johnson, and sister Joan Shrum, and brother Douglas Tanner.<br />
<br />
The family will receive friends at a viewing on Sunday, July 21, 2013 from 6-8 p.m. at Wasatch Lawn Cemetary, 3401 Highland Drive. Funeral Services will be held Monday, July 22, 2013 at Olympus 1st Ward, 4100 S Camille Drive. Friends may attend a viewing from 9:45 to 10:45 a.m. prior to the service at 11:00 a.m.<br />

<br />
“War is hell.”<br />
<br />
These terse words are Fred W. Main’s bitter denunciation of war. War that took him as a carefree youth of 17 and made him a professional killer. War that cost him his right leg at 19, and left him maimed and nearly a hopeless cripple for life. War that he helped to fight 70 years ago that has brought him physical anguish every day since, and now as a man of 87, war that brings sleepless nights suffering from a wound that never healed.<br />
<a name='more'></a>Mr. Main came to Harbor Springs more than a half century ago, when there were less than 50 white persons here, and when the Indian population numbered 500. He lives at the foot of the bluff, steps beyond the Masonic Temple.<br />
<br />
<b>Sight Almost Gone</b><br />
<br />
Here with dimming eyes that make objects only a blur before him, this old soldier who helped fight the battles to end slavery is passing the closing years of his life.<br />
<br />
War is not an obsession with Mr. Main. He is surprisingly well informed about what is going on in the world today for a person who cannot see to read. But war is the subject that touches the most vibrant chord in his being.<br />
<br />
After 70 years, memories of old battles come surging back through his mind. He speaks of the Peninsular Campaign, of the Army of the Potomac and of eating hard tack and salt pork as though they were experiences of only yesterday.<br />
<br />
“If our people could see a battlefield after a campaign of open warfare strewn with the dead and wounded, they would be pacifists for life,” he proclaimed.<br />
<br />
<b>Enlisted Early</b><br />
<br />
Born at West Pembrook, N. Y., Aug. 24, 1844, Mr. Main lived there with his parents until he was 17. On Oct. 8, 1861, he enlisted in Company F of the 100th regiment of New York. Volunteers under Gen. George McClellan, and during the winter and spring fought in a series of battles along the Potomac. Continuing in active service he was transferred to North Carolina in the spring of 1863. In the summer of the same year the Union army moved down to South Carolina.<br />
<br />
There in July a land force under Gen. Quincy Adams Gilmore landed on Morris Island and commenced besieging the works which defended Charleston harbor, while Admiral Dahlgren took charge of the National fleet which acted in cooperation with Gilmore’s land force.<br />
<br />
<b>Poor Strategy Costly</b><br />
<br />
The history book tells how “unsuccessful assaults were made on Fort Wagner on July 11 and 18” and that “Gen. Strong and Gen. Shaw were mortally wounded.” With this sketchy account the historian rested.<br />
Another story of the attack on Fort Wagner is told, however, by Mr. Main. It was in that battle that cannon shot splintered his right leg just below the hip, necessitating amputation of his leg.<br />
<br />
As Mr. Main relates the details of that battle, the Union forces, nearly a full regiment, or 1,000 soldiers, were drawn up in battle formation in the woods surrounding the fort and ordered to make the attack at dark. In the dark the men were helpless, but they pushed blindly on, while the ranks were virtually obliterated by gun fire from the fort.<br />
<br />
Enough men reached the fort to capture one wing, but reinforcements failed to appear, and the men were taken prisoners by the Confederates.<br />
<br />
<b>A Night of Suffering</b><br />
<br />
Mr. Main was one of the many soldiers who did not get to the fort. While crossing the moat which surrounded the Confederate stronghold he suffered the leg wound and lay where he fell until morning. The Confederates took him inside the for the next morning and put him on a boat for Charleston. His leg was amputated while he was on the ship. After staying in the hospital in Charleston for several weeks, he was exchanged to the Union forces and spent the remaining days of the war in a New York hospital.<br />
<br />
Waiting until dark to attack the fort was poor strategy, according to Mr. Main. In the day time the soldiers could have made the short distance from the woods to the fort without many casualties, he said.<br />
<br />
<b>Main’s Story of McClellan</b><br />
<br />
Many history books praise McClellan’s activities with his Northern Army, but Mr. Main, who fought for tow years under him, gives another version of McClellan as a general. He knew military tactics and how to discipline an army, yet he was a coward at heart, said Mr. Main. The story went the rounds in Mr. Main’s regiment that “McClellan could build a better bridge than any other general on the Union side, yet he would be afraid to cross it first.” “That is what many of McClellan’s soldiers thought of him,” said Mr. Main.<br />
<br />
Mustered out of the army July 30, 1864, Mr. Main came to Hastings, Mich., the same summer. He lived there for 12 years and operated a drug store. He married in Hastings in 1875. Eleven years later he came to Petoskey, Feb. 10, 1876. At that time there were only three painted houses in Petoskey, and the rest were log structures, he said. There were only a few white families and the remainder of the population was made up of Indians.<br />
<br />
Tiring of living among the Indians, Mr. and Mrs. Main moved to a homestead in Pleasantview township and tried farming for two years.<br />
<br />
<b>Moved to Harbor Springs</b><br />
<br />
Harbor Springs in those days was the business center of the county, so Mr. and Mrs. Main moved here in 1878. Less than 50 white people lived here when Mr. Main first came, but the town grew rapidly as a lumbering center. Soon the saw mills were singing day after day.<br />
<br />
Handle, toothpick and stave factories attracted newcomers and added to the bustle. Steamboats burning wood for fuel stopped in the fine harbor here to take on wood for their lake trips from Chicago to the north. Thousands of telephone and telegraph poles were cut and shipped to southern cities. The population jumped to more than 25000 by 1900.<br />
<br />
<b>The Town Was ‘Very Wet’</b><br />
<br />
The town was “very wet” when the lumber business was thriving, said Mr. Main. Even the grocery stores kept countless barrels of whiskey in the stock rooms to help supply the pressing demand for liquor.<br />
<br />
“What do you think of prohibition?” Mr. Main was asked. “I believe we should rally to support the prohibition amendment,” he promptly retorted. “The country is far better off now than in the days of the saloon, when the fathers squandered their pay checks in a riotous orgy every Saturday night,” he added.<br />
<br />
“Do you smoke Mr. Main?” His eyes twinkled as he told how he has smoked since he was “a kid in the army and long green was the only kind of tobacco available.” “I like a cigar or a pipe; a cigarette doesn’t last long enough,” he chuckled.<br />
<br />
<b>Doesn’t Like Curls</b><br />
<br />
Mr. Main has long silky gray hair that hangs in curls under his hat. “I try to keep those curls cut off, I don’t like them,” he said.<br />
<br />
Taking a worn crutch in one hand and a cane in the other, the old soldier hobbled unsteadily up the street.<br />

_____</div>
<br />
Frederick F. Main, 92, Harbor Springs’ last surviving Civil War veteran, died late Monday afternoon at his Spring street home. Mr. Main, although feeble for the last few years, had been ill only two weeks.<br />
<br />
He is survived by no close relatives. His great-nephew <a href="http://thebioplace.blogspot.com/2015/01/donald-arthur-price-1900-1974.html">Donald Price</a>, and family have cared for him in recent years. Mrs. Main died in 1923. There were no children.<br />
<br />
In compliance with his own instructions given in January, 1935, Mr. Main’s body was taken to Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Detroit, for cremation, and the ashes will be strewn upon his wife’s grave in Lake View cemetery on an appropriate patriotic holiday, either Memorial day of the Fourth of July. There will be no funeral service at this time.<br />
<br />
The aged veteran was born August 24, 1844 in the town of West Pembroke, Genesee county, New York, where he resided until seven or eight years of age, when his parents, Samuel and Maria Main moved to what was then known as Murray’s Corners, in the town of Newstead, Erie county, New York. There he lived until the outbreak of the Civil War, when he enlisted October 8, 1861, and was mustered into Company F, 100th regiment, New York volunteer infantry.<br />
<br />
<b>In His Own Words</b><br />
<br />
Mr. Main several years ago dictated a brief account of his experiences in the Union Army and his subsequent coming to Emmet county following his honorable discharge, and gave it to the Emmet County Graphic for safe-keeping. Portions of the account follow:<br />
<br />
The regiment was held in garrison at Fort Porter, Buffalo, N. Y. until March 7th, 1862, when we were sent to Washington D. C., and placed in Gen. Neglee’s brigade. We were encamped on Meridian heights while in Washington and left there about April 1st, 1862 when Gen. McClellan made his advance on Richmond, Va. We marched from our camp on Meridian heights in the afternoon through Washington and across the long bridge on our way to Alexandria, where we arrived late in the night and the next day were put aboard the famous old frigate Constitution, which also carried the other three regiments belonging to our brigade bound for Ft. Monroe, arriving the next day where we first saw the old original Monitor that vanquished the rebel ironclad boat, Merrimac. That evening ran down to New Port News where we were landed, encamping about one week, then took up our march across the country for Yorktown where we participated in the siege of that town and afterwards in the following battles: Williamsburg, Bottoms Bridge, Fair Oaks, White Oak Swamp, Wood’s Cross Roads, Malvern Hill and the last three battles were fought during the seven days retreat from in front of Richmond to Harrison’s landing, on the James river, where we arrived on the 3rd day of July, 1862.<br />
<br />
We camped here until about the last of August, when we commenced our retreat back to York Town. On reaching there were sent across the York river to Gloucester Point and on about the 10th day of December were ordered to march to Fredericksburg to reinforce General Burnside. On reaching near there, were halted and ordered back to our old camp at Gloucester Point as Burnside was defeated and had to ball back across the river.<br />
<br />
We left Gloucester Point about the 28th day of December, 1862, and took a transport for Morehead City, N. C. where we landed about Jan. 1, 1863 and were ordered from there to Carolina City, which lies about midway between that place and Newburn. On or about June 1st, we were ordered back to Morehead City, where we embarked for Port Royal, S. C. On arriving landed opposite there on St. Helena Island; were encamped there until about July 1st, when troops were ordered to proceed to Charleston. Our first landing was on Cole’s Island, which we captured, then proceeded to take Folly Island and on the 11th captured the north end of Morris Island on Charleston Bay.<br />
<br />
<b>Taken Prisoner</b><br />
<br />
On the 18th in the assault on Ft. Wagner I lost my right leg and was made prisoner, and taken to Charleston City. I was wounded just after dark. Throughout the night I lay in the trench and when water from the bay was at high tide, there was a good two feet of water about me. The next day I gave my pocket book and all to a rebel, who in his drunken frenzy was around robbing the dead. He drew me up on the hot sand on the 19th day of July. That day I was put on board a transport by the rebels. Was there about a week and then parolled and sent to Fort Schuyler Hospital, N. Y. and was transferred from there to Central Park hospital, N. Y. City and there received an honorable discharge on July 30th, 1864.<br />
<br />
Soon after came to Hastings, Michigan, where I lived for about twelve years. Was married April 12th, 1875 to Amelia A. Judd, daughter of Hawley and Eleanor Judd. Came with my family to Emmet county February 11th, 1876. Lived in Petoskey until about May 1st, when we moved onto our homestead located in Section 12, Pleasant View Twp. Moved to Harbor Springs on or about the 1st day of September, 1878.<br />

Dear Kenneth : -<br />
<br />
How is everything in Lansing? All is O. K. here.<br />
<br />
I arrived here two days ago and have been too busy having a good time to write before.<br />
<br />
It rained in the night and it is quite muddy this morning so I guess it's a good time to write.<br />
<br />
The scenery around this part of the country is beautiful. There are great bluffs, covered with trees, vines, and flowers, over which there are many pleasant roads.<br />
<br />
In back of my uncles's house there is a great bluff up which run wooden steps and from whose to[p] you can see the country for miles around including a fine view of the harbor and town.<br />
<br />

<a name='more'></a>Yesterday all of us went fishing. Part of the crowd fished from the docks, which extend far out into the water, while the rest went out in boats. I went in a boat in which there was a boy who lives next door to my uncle, whose acquaintance I made on my arrival, and my uncle.<br />
<br />
The water is very clear and you can see the bottom when standing on the dock although it may be more than twenty feet down.<br />
<br />
We had a fine time fishing and caught quite a few large fist, part of which we took home and part of which we gave to an old Indian who lives near the docks.<br />
<br />
Well as the sun is drying up the mud I guess I'll close this letter and write another soon.<br />
<br />
I remain your friend,<br />

*Personal knowledge of Gertrude Caroline Catob Howse Carmer:<br />
Helene was the youngest child in her family, being only a small girl when her mother died. She left home at a young age but was fortunate to have met a good man who was always deeply devoted to her. They longed for children but had to wait a long while before baby Krissy blessed their union. Helene enjoyed many things, travel and such, but first and foremost came her family and home. She always loved her northern Michigan roots but established new roots in Pennsylvania, where she lived out her days. Always exuberant about everything, she was a light, wherever she went. She developed cancer and even joked about that! Helene left us before we were ready to part with her. <br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Letter to a Granddaughter</span></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
July 1992<br />
Dear Annette,<br />
<br />
I'm sorry I didn't respond to your questionaire you sent me quite some time ago. I just ran onto it while looking through some papers. I will list things as you have.<br />
<br />
One time Aunt Helene took both her and mine dolls that our father brought us from Germany in 1923. The buggy tipped over and of course both were smashed all to pieces. They were Dresden dolls.<br />
<br />
Another time when I was around seven or eight and I took a pretty green velvet purse that my girl friend received for her birthday. The girls father asked our teacher to watch for it. The teacher came to our house or to my Aunt Frieda's who helped take care of us after our mother died and I think she told my father and I got a whipping with my father's razor strap.<br />
<br />
I never dated with anyone but <a href="http://thebioplace.blogspot.com/2015/01/clifford-leroy-howse-1915-1957.html">Grandpa Howse</a>. He always came down to the Court House yard to play with eight or ten other kids. Then we started meeting at the library. We decided to go to the Prom up at the high school, so I had to teach him how to dance. We practiced up at his house with the record, "It's Three O'Clock in the Morning." <br />
<br />
I went with Grandpa all through High School. Grandpa of course had to quit school in the 11th grade as they couldn't afford to buy his clothes and books. I graduated in June and we were married the following December twenty-first.<br />
<a name='more'></a>I wore my Prom dress for the wedding. It was royal blue and white satin and my stepmother had made it.<br />
We were married up at Clifford's home and Rena and Harold Dunkley made a lattice arch and had pots of red plants set around it.<br />
<br />
My girl friend and her husband stood up with us too.<br />
<br />
NO HONEYMOON. No money.<br />
<br />
We, Grandpa and I, had painted his room and made it nice though. We had a kerosene heater that we would light about an hour before going up to bed.<br />

Times were really hard at that time, jobs were available but few and far between. The Dunkley's that stood up with us were friends of Mother Howse and Aunt Myrtle and Uncle Dent. Grandpa started working in their Greenhouse which was called Renolda after both of them, Rena and Harold.<br />
<br />
Joanne was born up at Grandma Howse's as we were living with her. When Joanne was 9 months old my stepmother loaned us the money to buy our little house on 3rd street.<br />
<br />
Our furniture consisted of what we got from Aunt Frieda, Aunt Edna and Carl Schwerdtfeger, my mother's sister and brother. Our kitchen table was a card table and Grandpa and I covered the top with oil cloth and I made pads for the chairs to match. We both were thrilled to death, to have our own home.<br />
<br />
Karlene was born two years later up at Grandma Howse's so we were up there for two weeks. Grandma Howse was a midwife and a very good one.<br />
<br />
Two and a half years later, your father was born, but down in our house with Grandma Howse attending as usual. (Dr. Franks was the only Doctor I had and he charged twenty-five dollars for a delivery.)<br />
<br />
When Arnold was about four years old Grandpa quit the Greenhouse and went to work at the Tannery in Kegomic about where Giant is now. He worked there until it closed up. Then he worked for the Harbor Tackle Company, which was right across from our house. From there he went to Perm-Alum and was the foreman in the molding department. Worked there until he got sick in November 1957.<br />
<br />
Joanne was married the February before and lived in the apartment. They had Monica in July so Grandpa got to hold the baby as he was home from the hospital at the time. Joanne took after Grandpa's family and loved to Deer hunt and fish with him.<br />
<br />
Karlene was opposite disposition. She was very outgoing, talkative and loved to dress up and go to fancy places. Both girls worked on Harbor Point when they were 14 and 15 year olds.<br />
<br />
Arnold was a homebody and enjoyed his own room. He knew every kind of car and had a scrapbook of them. Enjoyed his trumpet which we bought him when he was in the 5th grade and played in the band. He was small for his age and decided football would make him bigger and tougher I guess, so played in his Junior year.<br />
<br />
All three children played in the school band all four years and Arnold seven years. I think. He was 1st Trumpeter.<br />
<br />
Karlene and Arnold both got married the second year after their father died. Arnold married <a href="http://thebioplace.blogspot.com/2015/01/joanne-marie-heinz-1942-2006.html">Joanne</a> in September and Karlene married Denny Marsh in November.<br />
<br />
Karlene and Denny lived in our apartment for one year and then moved to Big Rapids.<br />
<br />
I was a widow nine years, then I met Jerry Carmer at work, which was at the same shop where Clifford was foreman of the foundry. Jerry was foreman of the Tool Room. He asked me to go out to dinner the second week after I started to work. We went steady for three months and got married and then Jerry decided I should quit as the work was too heavy. Jerry retired at sixty-two and we enjoyed many trips From back east to Karl and Helene's to California to Louise and Marilyn's, my cousins who had moved there when Joanne was about six years old.<br />
<br />
We also went to Germany in 1971 with Karl and Agnes and Freida and Irwin. We visited with my cousins and my father's brother, his wife and daughter Maria. Another cousin Helmuto and wife Ilsa and Joahannas and Segred and boys. Then to Koln to visit Uncle Otto and wife. Had a Chudobba Reunion in Tonashied and met more cousins. Met Maria's sister Ina and her husband and three girls from Wales.<br />
<br />
In the past five years I haven't done too much socially. Made a few trips down to Karlene and Denny's and Beverly's. Beverly is Jerry's only child and she has always thought alot of me and I of her.<br />
<br />
This past year Myrtle and I have been going over to Clifford's youngest sister Sylvia's as she hasn't been well and can't drive. This past May 30th, my oldest grandchild Monica Swiss Steinmeyer had a baby boy and I went down to care for both baby and Mom for one and a half weeks. Being down at Monica's I missed attending Jody's graduation but I had made him an afgan like I have made for all my grandchildren.<br />
<br />
At present, I belong to two Clubs, the Care Facility Auxiliary and the Visiting Club. I volunteer to help folding the bulletins at our church. I still crochet for all the new babies in the family and making afgans.<br />
<br />
I hope you can follow my trend of thought Annette and I'm sorry I waited so long. Hope you are all well.<br />
<br />
All my Love,<br />
<br />
Grandma Howse Carmer<br />
