Saturday, May 25, 1878: We are on board the Steamship Nevada, and expect to start about 3:00pm.We are at anchor about seven miles from shore. We are now on the way, sailing along by Wales, can see their rocky mountains. Getting dark now. Sunday, May 28, 1878: Going by the Irish coast now, sitting on top deck. Arrived at Queenstown. Posted a letter home. Monday, May 27: Sea sick Tuesday, May 28: Up on top deck. Our ship is 336 long, and her name is 'NEVADA". It is a fine ship. We have no sails up today for the sea is too rough so we are going by steam as it is a steamer. The waves look very nice up her. We are as high up from the water as the top of our house. All day up on deck as it is better to get the breeze than to sit down below. Wednesday, May 29: Wet and very rough, all day Thursday, May 30:Accident to engine about 2:00 O'clock this morning Friday, May 31: Nothing to see by water Saturday, June 1: Rough again this morning, better this afternoon.

Today we are both up on deck. Tuesday, June 4: Foggy, going to the concert tonight in the cabin saloon. Wednesday, June 5: Warm this morning, all up on top deck looking for land; Just in sight of land, not seen for nine days. This is the sight as the sunshines bright and warm as we sail into the New York Harbor. Ships on all sides and all sizes. We shall be here three hours before we land so we have plenty of time to look about as we sail steadly along the ships. We have now landed in New York. We stopped there only one day. We had just time enough to look around and then to travel down the Hudson river to Castle Gardens, about three or four miles. And then land on the other side, then we got into cars, but you must understand our ship did not take us across the river, but our ship went into a place where they would load her up, to go back. We went in a steam boat to Castle Gardens, and then we went again in one across the river to the cars. Thursday, June 6: We are just starting. it is about 7:00 O'clock. We are going along by Lake Erie, Oh it is a splended sight, there is water a mile across it and mountains covered with trees on the other side. This is where we go around what they call the horse shoe bend, and we have to cross the lake. We have three engines and thirteen cars of people traveling through valleys and forests. Children running around without shoes and stockings, they wont wear them here. Arrived at a town called Pittsburg at l2:0'clock in a husle, changed here for Chicago Saturday, June 8: Traveling as fast as we can to get there tonight. Going through Ohio, Mo. more cultivated land here. Yesterday it was very rough all mountains and going through tunnels and low valleys. Arrived in Chicago about 10 0' clock at night, Changed for Omaha, two in the party left behind. Sunday, June 9: Rainy today, a very level country, This is very watery and marshy. Arrived at Omaha, safe. We are going to cross the plains now, That is a thousand miles. Monday, June 10: Crossing the plains, it is a pleasant sight to see droves of cows and wild horses and a lot of other things. About 835 miles to Ogden. Tuesday, June 11: Warm this morning, but raining, not going very fast today as we have in the last day or two. Going along the Rocky Mountains and in the distance we can see snowey mountains. They are from 16,000 to 26,000 feet high. We see the tops of these as the sun shines on them. They are what they call "ROCKY MOUNTAINS", There are right along the city and south of it for miles. It is thundering and has rained a little. Wednesday, June 12: A hot day, passed a little village where the Indians made a raid on it. They tomahawked two or three women, and a lot or cattle.

| 854 | Hannelore Koerner Hardy, age 81, passed away peacefully in her home on February 14. 2012 with her husband by her side, after suffering from a long-term illness. She was born November 23, 1930 in Jugenheim, Germany to Fridolin and Lydia (Schmidt) Koerner. Hannelore or "Hanna," as she was called, grew up near Stuttgart, Germany. As a teenager she directly witnessed the destructive power of war, as well as personally experiencing the healing power of love. Near the end of the Second World War, when Hanna was only 15, she met the man who would become her first husband, William Lee Hall, an American serviceman. She emigrated from Germany to the United States in 1947 to marry him. The couple lived in Chicago for a time and then moved to Provo where they had five children together, though their first child, William Jr., died in infancy. The family later moved to Sandy City, Utah. In 1967, her husband William Hall died of cancer, leaving her with 4 children to support. During this challenging time she provided for her family by working as a waitress at the Junction Bowling Lanes and Mary's Coffee Shop. In 1970 Hanna married her second husband, Douglas Hardy-a marriage of closeness and loving companionship lasting over 41 years. They had one child together, Aaron Hardy. Hanna loved reading, cooking, knitting, road trips and spending time with friends and family. Her sweaters were commissioned works of art, which she sold to help support the family. By all accounts Hanna's cooking was heavenly, including such delights as her specialty, German Rindsrouladen. Although this hardworking woman was passionate about life, she could effortlessly fill up a room with love simply by quietly knitting and sharing her company. It is particularly fitting that she died on Valentine's Day as her life was focused on love, especially for her family.She was preceded in death by her first husband William Hall, their first child William Jr., and her parents. Left to cherish her memory are her loving, devoted husband Douglas K. Hardy; her children Reg Hall and his wife Debbie; Bryan Hall and his wife Tara; Tim Hall; Aaron Hardy; and Candy (Hall) Tingey and her husband Ken. She leaves behind 15 grandchildren, 33 great-grandchildren, an extended family and many dear friends. A viewing will be held on Sunday, February 19th from 6 to 8 pm at Berg Mortuary at 500 North State in Orem. Funeral services will be held on Monday, February 20 at 11 am at the Jordan Willows 5th Ward at 496 South River Way in Lehi, with a viewing one hour prior to services at 10 am, also at the church. Interment will follow at East Lawn Memorial Hills Cemetery in Provo. The family wishes to thank Dr. Sean Doyle with Tri City Medical Clinic, Dignity Home Health and Mountainland Association of Governments for their compassionate assistance in providing care during Hanna's illness. - The Salt Lake Tribune | 18 Feb 2012 | Koerner, Hannelore Hildreguard (I14041)

| 885 | HISTORY OF RUBY THAYNE March 15, 1896 - March 10, 1997 Ruby was born March 15, 1896 at East Midvale, Utah. She was born of pioneer ancestry through both father and mother lines, namely, her father, Moroni Thayne?s father was Ebenezer, born in Scotland, Renfrew near Glascow. He married Nancy Cunningham. He came here with the Mormon Pioneers by the way of Canada in 1861. On her mother?s line, Lavina?s mother, Charlotte Crocket, came from Herefordshire, England by the way of Liverpool when she was 18 with a handcart company of Mormon Pioneers in 1862. Ruby?s home was on ten acres of land near 7200 South and State Street. There was a creek out in front. Her father was a wonderful farmer. He planted apple trees, cherry trees, raspberries, strawberries, beets, Lucerne and later white Spanish onions. There was also a small burial ground there in the early days. That was permissible then. Grandma Nancy was buried there and also a younger sister of Ruby?s Father. When Ruby was 16 her folks left the small farm, renting it out. Their main idea was to get more land for the boys. So they went to Junction Valley in the northwest corner of Utah for eight years. They took up 320 acres of dry farm land and planted wheat after pulling sage brush. Ruby stayed with her sister Ethel. Eventually she wanted to go north to visit her parents. She stayed on all winter up there with them. There was no coal or electricity there. It was twenty-five miles north to the biggest store, Oakley, Idaho Her elder brother, Bill, was going to go to AC State College in Logan. She decided to go with him. She went up there and worked at the telephone office in Logan for two years (1917). Bill was specializing in agriculture and later ran an experimental college farm in north Farmington where her parents moved onto the same land into a house that was empty, where they resided until the lease was up on their homestead in East Midvale. Ruby had a great love of music and quite a sense of humor that helped her through the many trials and tribulations that life gave her. During the summer of 1920, Ruby went to a dance one evening where she met a young man, John Harold Worsley, whom she was instantly attracted to. He must have felt the same, for less than two weeks later they were married at the Salt Lake County Court House on Aug 29, 1920. They lived for a short time in Salt Lake but later moved to Farmington. After they were married, John Harold had a difficult time dealing with the pressures of marriage and holding down a job. Some of the effects of WWI shellshock were starting to have an impact on him. While living in Farmington, Ruby gave birth to a set of twin boys on May 5, 1921, LaVerl J and LaVon Harold Over the next few days, LaVon refused to nurse and grew weaker and weaker, finally passing away on May 25, 1921. After the birth of the twins, it became more and more apparent that John Harold was having problems dealing with the problems of day to day life. The doctors recommended to Ruby that she divorce him and get on with her life, as it was apparent to them that he would never be able to handle the pressure of married life and fatherhood. It was with much sadness that Ruby left John Harold after only eleven months of marriage. She later filed for divorce. This became effective December 23, 1922. She always said that he was the only husband that she ever loved. At this point Ruby and her young son returned to her parents? home in Midvale. Finally, some years later after a second marriage and divorce, John Harold?s parents had him admitted to the Veterans Hospital in Fort Collins, Co. Over the next seven years, Ruby helped on her fathers? farm and also obtained domestic work around the valley, leaving her son with her parents when necessary, in order to help provide for herself and her son. One evening, Ruby went to a dance and met a gentleman who was a widower with a fourteen year old son. The gentleman, Emmet E. Morriss was a plumber by trade. He said that he was having trouble with his business because he couldn?t both do the work and answer the phone. He was also in need of someone to cook (he must have mentioned that he had a chicken that needed cooking) and help take care of his son, E. Bernard. The next day, Ruby and her mother had an argument over something, and her brother Bill sided with their mother, and told Ruby to ?get out.? Ruby packed her things, took her son, called Emmet Morriss and asked if he was still looking for someone to cook that chicken. He came out and picked up Ruby and Jay. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple on June 29, 1928. Both of Ruby?s sons, Jay and Harold were also sealed to Ruby and Emmet and took Emmet?s last name. Her son Jay, later changed his last name back to Worsley and his first and middle names to Jay LaVerl. While married to Emmet, about 1935, Ruby had the opportunity of joining the Tabernacle Choir. She was a member of the Choir for two and a half years under the leadership of Anthony Lund and Albert Southwick. She always looked upon that as one of the great accomplishments of her life. She even got to go with the Choir to San Diego, I believe to the World?s Fair. They were there ten days singing at Balboa Park, the Ford Bowl. During these years, the great Depression was taking its toll on Emmet Morriss?s business. Things came to a boiling point between him and Ruby and so he threw Ruby and Jay out. Ruby went to a friend?s home in Bountiful, Mary A. Stocks, who happened to be the Relief Society President there. She suggested that Ruby go back home and get a divorce and then return to Bountiful. She said she would help Ruby obtain a job, which she did. Ruby divorced Emmet January 3, 1939. Jay was 18 years old and joined the Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC) in Bountiful. At a Relief Society meeting Ruby and the other sisters were told that someone needed to go and help Herman Nielson in his house where the mother had died and left three children, the babe Raymond 2 years old, Lois 10, and Erma 12. So Ruby went and was married to Herman Nielson on October 17, 1942. It was a marriage of convenience. They never really lived as man and wife. Herman had the bedroom on the main floor, and Ruby had one of the bedrooms upstairs along with the children. Herman worked at Hillfield. After the War ended he turned to alcohol. At times he would become violent. Things came to a head one evening when she returned home. In his drunken state he pinned Ruby?s one arm against the wall and said, ?now you?re going to get it!? Herman?s little son, Raymond heard him and said, ?Dad, let her go,? and so he did. Ruby left Herman after being there eleven years and divorced him. He died about a year later of cancer. After leaving Bountiful, Ruby spent the rest of her life, until August 1976, living as domestic help in other people?s homes, or residing in one room apartments. She spent many years doing Temple and genealogy work. She inherited her father?s sense of humor and love of music. She sang in numerous choirs over the years. After spending many years in various one-room apartments, Ruby was notified in August of 1976 that her application had been accepted for an apartment at the senior housing center on 2nd East and 21st South. She was so excited. She thought she?d died and gone to heaven. She did however recognize it as a great blessing from her Father in Heaven and always gave credit to Him for this gift. Ruby lived there until she was 95 years old. Finally in 1991, she conceded that it was time for her to move into a care facility. In the summer of 1991, she moved into the Murray Care Center. On Wednesday March 13, 1985 her son, Jay LaVerl Worsley passed away. By this time, Ruby had been preceded in death by her parents, all of her brothers and sisters, both of her sons, and all three of her husbands. She joked that every time she passed a grave yard, she felt like she was apartment hunting. Her only request upon Jay?s death was that he not be buried on Friday March 15th, her birthday. He was buried March 16th. Ruby use to joke that one of the reasons she chose the Murray Care Center on Vine Street was because it was right next door to the mortuary and just up the street from the Murray cemetery. Ruby celebrated her 100th birthday the same year that Utah celebrated its centennial. The family had a party for her at the care center. She really enjoyed being the center of attention. That was on March 15, 1996. Later that year, on July 24th she was honored by Murray City, by having her ride in a convertible during the parade with signs on the car indicating that she was 100 years old. She was so proud. Over the next year, Ruby started showing more signs of her advanced age. She slept much of the time and grew weaker. Finally in the early evening of March 10, 1997, Ruby quietly slipped away in her sleep, just five days before her 101st birthday. A few days later, on March 13, 1997 her funeral was held at the Memorial Estates Mortuary, right next door to the Care Center, and she was buried at the Murray Cemetery, just like she had said would happen. ___________________________________________________________ Ruby Charlotte Thavne was horn on Mar. 15, 1896, in East Midvale, Utah, 7180 South State. She was the middle child'in a family or 10 children. These were: Moroni Leslie, Jane (died as a baby), Lavina Ethel, William James, Ruby Charlotte (after her Grandmother Charlotte Gough), Leona, Clifton Earl, Delbert Owen, Verla and Vera. Ruby had a happy childhood on the 10 acre farm where her father and mother Moroni and Lavina Thayne had built a big home and had a good garden, fruit trees and flowers. In Ruby's own words: "When I was about thirteen I walked a lot wherever I needed to go,and sometimes went by horse and buggy" We went up Union Avenue to church. I sang alto in my first choir. I walked with other girls to Midvale School where I graduated the 8th grade. After that we walked along the train tracks to Sandy High School. I only attended about 3 months then quit and went to Salt Lake to work for some nice lawyers. I did cooking and housework for $B a week and room and board. In 1913 my folks moved to a 320 acre homestead in Junction Valley in the northwest corner of the state, and I visited them often. I stayed with my brother Bill in Logan working for the Jenson Candy Company and the Telephone office. My first marriage was for love to John Harold Horsley. He was shell shocked in World War I and our marriage didn't last long. I gave birth to twin boys, one I living only two weeks, and the other I lived to be 65. My second marriage to Emmett E. Morris ended in divorce. I was asked by Sister Stocks of the Relief Society to go keep house for a man in Bountiful. Herman Nielson who had three motherless little children. I married and I felt that I did a good job raising his children. After he died his children moved to California and through the years I have only seen them occasionally, but I was blessed for going into that home. In about 1935 I joined the Tabernacle Choir. I sang alto and it was such a wonderful time for me. Went on a trip to San Diego which I will never forqet." (End quote) I found some words to a song that Ruby liked to sing: "When I was a boy in the old plantation down by the down by the deep blue sea. The fairest sport in all creation was swinging in the grape vine swing. Chorus: Swinging on the grape vine swing (repeated) Laughing where the wild birds sing I dream and sigh for the days gone by" Chorus: Swinging on the grape vine swing." | Thayne, Ruby Charlotte (I1629)

| 887 | Hon. Henry A. Smith. Among the prominent citizens of Brown county is Hon. Henry A. Smith, who for two terms represented his district in the state legislature, and upon the battle fields of the south loyally represented the Union cause. It is a well attested maxim that the greatness of the state lies not in its machinery of government, nor even in its institutions, but in the sterling qualities of its individual citizens, and their capacity for high and unselfish effort and their devotion to the public good. . Most loyal in his support of every measure which he believed would promote the welfare, the prosperity and upbuilding of the commonwealth, Mr. Smith therefore deserves mention among the citizens of Kansas who have been an honor to the state by which they have been honored. . He was born in Peoria county, Illinois, April 13, 1845. His father, Robert Smith, was a native of Kentucky, and a representative of one of the old southern families. His birth occurred March 25, 1818 and he was the son of James and Margaret (Davis) Smith. They, too, were natives of Kentucky, and the former served as a soldier in the War of 1812. . In 1834 he removed with his family to Fulton county, Illinois, where they remained for a year, when they went to Peoria county, same state. Robert Smith, the father of our subject, was a lad of fifteen years when his parents took up their abode in this state, and he aided his father in the cultivation of the home farm until he attained his majority, when he was married, in Peoria county, to Miss Matilda Hogg, a daughter of John W. Hogg and a cousin of Etrick Shepherd. . Her father was a native of Scotland, and in that country wedded Miss Sarah B. Cowman, whose birth occurred in London. In 1836 they crossed the Atlantic to the New World, taking up their abode in Peoria county, Illinois. Later they came to Brown county, Kansas, where Mr. Hogg died, in 1862. They had five children, namely: John F., who died in 1898 and was a soldier during the Mexican War; Sarah M. and Isabella H., both deceased; Mrs. Smith and Ellen A. . Unto Robert Smith and his wife were born nine children, of whom three are now living, namely: Sarah M., wife of Joseph H. McClurg, of Turin, Reno county, Kansas; Henry A., of this review; and Mrs. Rosa M. Kinder.. Those who have passed away are Celestia E., who died at the age of ten years; Leonard M., Robert Eugene, Joseph Newton, John W. and James F. The father died January 25, 1892, at the age of seventy-four years. He was an early settler in northeastern Kansas, and was a man popular among his friends and neighbors. . His early political support was given to the Whig party, and after its dissolution he joined the ranks of the new Republican party, which he supported through his remaining days. . Both he and his wife are members of the Presbyterian church. Henry Askew Smith was a youth of sixteen years when, with his father, he came to Kansas. He is indebted to the public school system for the educational privileges which he enjoyed. . During the Civil War he entered his country's service, enlisting on July 26, 1862, in response to President Lincoln's call for three hundred thousand men. He became a member of Company H, Thirteenth Kansas Volunteer Infantry, under the command of Colonel T. M. Bowen, a well known and gallant officer, who later was elected United States senator from Colorado; and the commander of the company was Captain O. H. McCauley, now of Denver. The regiment was stationed in southern Missouri, Arkansas and Texas, and at the close of the war Mr. Smith was honorably discharged, July 28, 1865.. Returning to his home in Brown county, he remained there until 1868, when he went west, engaging in the freighting business. In 1871 he returned in Brown county, and is today the owner of one of the most valuable farms in this section of the state. . The property comprises three hundred and twenty acres in Mission township, the greater part of which is under a high state of cultivation. Upon the place are two fine orchards and some natural timber. The farm is well watered by a stream which flows through it, and the residence is a modern one, surrounded by a well kept and beautiful lawn. Everything about the place is neat in appearance, and indicates the careful supervision and progressive spirit of the owner. . At Salt Lake City, Utah, on June 24, 1869, Mr. Smith was united in marriage to Miss Anna B. Grow, a daughter of Henry Grow, of Salt Lake City. They had one child, Celestia Fortella, who died at the age of eleven months. In 1872 the mother was called to her final rest, and, on July 4, 1874, Mr. Smith was again married, the lady of his choice being Mary A. Cornelius, a native of Illinois and a daughter of G. H. and Eleanor J. (Morris) Cornelius. . Her father died in the United States service at Quincy, Illinois. Mr. and Mrs. Smith became the parents of eight children, namely: Bertha E., the wife of Charles Miller, of Mission township, Brown county, Kansas; Bertie M., now the wife of Fred Hoffman, of Hiawatha; Algernon B., Harold T., Kenneth W., Muriel A., Hazel M. and Leslie McKinley. . Since casting his first presidential vote for General Grant Mr. Smith has been a stanch supporter of the Republican party. He keeps well informed on the issues of the day, and is therefore able to uphold his position by intelligent argument. He does all in his power to promote the growth and secure the success of the party, and his labors have been very effective. . For twenty-seven years he has served as a member of the school board, and the cause of education has found in him a warm friend whose efforts have resulted in advancing the standard of the schools in this locality. In 1897 he was elected to the state legislature and so capably served his county that he was re-elected on the expiration of his first term. . He has given careful and earnest consideration to all questions coming up for attention, and his public record has been a satisfactory and honorable one. For some time he has been a member of the Masonic lodge of Hiawatha, and he and his family are members of the United Brethren church. . Their home is noted for its hospitality, the members occupying enviable positions in social circles. As an agriculturist, a citizen and public official Mr. Smith has won the confidence and support of those with whom he has come in contact, and no history of Brown county would be complete without the record of his life.

| 899 | I was born Sept 5, 1929 in a little shack at 237 Van Buren St. in Twin Falls, Idaho, to John Hamer and Rosella May Grow Adams. The girls, Iola-9, Virginia-7 and Thelma-5 remember playing outside till I was born. After three girls I was welcomed by all. I was the first and only grandson on the Adams side. My dad and mother had a cow they milked and some rabbits we sold and also used for meat. My sisters and I went to gather baskets of clover to feed rabbits and I would play and they let me ride home in the basket. There was no houses from Van Buren over to Blue Lakes, just fields. We had two long rows of hutches for about 100 rabbits. The girls said they had to water, feed and clean the pens. I remember Dad killing and cleaning the rabbits. Dad was a hard worker and we always had enough to eat. I?m told I had lots of energy and it took all the family to keep me safe. Once, when I was three years old, I disappeared and Iola and Virginia went looking for me. We had the Perrine Canal on Addison two blocks from home. They found me going down the inside fence to the water. I also remember Daddy was going to Sandy?s Coldstorage to sort apples. I got on the running board of the truck, facing the back wheel. I was about three or four. I hung on tight and when Dad parked and saw me, I said, ?I?m cold.? He called mother and said, ?Do you know where your son is?? She says, ?I?ll go look for him?. Dad days, ?Don?t bother, he is with me.? What a ride. Dad started building houses about 1935. He built the stocco house where the shack was. I remember the shack on the ally, but Virginia says it was moved there when Dad built the big house in front. We moved into the new house. It had our bedrooms upstairs and we were all happy to have lots of room and a bathroom inside. He then built the duplex next door. Papa and Grandma Adams were a big part of our lives. They moved into the south side of the duplex. I can remember walking downtown to have my picture taken with Papa when I was about six. At Christmas, the girls said Papa put a beard on and a Santa hat and came and knocked on the window so I saw him and then they said go to bed so Santa will come. I went to Sunday School with the girls and was baptized 5 Feb. 1938 in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the church on 4th East across from City Park. It is now White Mortuary. I went to church till I was teenage, but Dad always had work to do on Sunday. School years started at Lincoln School, on 2nd Ave West., 1935. I remember Miss Allen as first grade. Second and third grade was at Lincoln. We moved to the 100 block on Pierce St. I went to Washington School, on Blue Lakes, for forth, fifth and sixth grades. It is gone now. I had a hard time in 4th grade so Aunt Ethel, who was a teacher, taught me in the summer and I was ready for 5th grade. A bigger boy was picking on me and my teacher Chancy Abbott, said, ?Can you lick him?? I said, ?Yes?. He went in and watched from the window. I beat him, then his mother came and gave him a bad time for fighting with such a little boy. When I was nine, Daddy won a Shetland pony form Anderson Lumber and my fun began. Bud Hafer was on a farm and he kept it at his place. He led it on his bike and I rode, except being bucked off two times. I rode the pony all over town and had lots of fun. Duewy Gibb was in high school and the guys bet he couldn?t beat me on my pony. He won and they put it in the school paper ?Man beats horse?. I knew how to have him buck so I would give kids rides and have them sit way back and he would buck them off. I then was in Twin Falls Jr. High on Shoshone St. I ran home for lunch at noon. I also had a bike I rode part of the time. I got a two year old mustang and from then on I rode horses, I broke some and latter had registered quarter horses. When I was about 14 I raced and won some races and lost some. I won first in jumping horses in Idaho and Nevada. Daddy could always keep us busy. We lathed, filled hard wood floors and always cleaned up inside and out of the houses he was building. We all learned to work and when our friends came to play Dad always put them to work. They only came once. I graduated from Twin Falls High School in 1947. It was in the same building as Jr. High. I did boxing and was pretty good. We had a good group of boys and did lots of boxing. I also became an avid motorcycle rider. All this time I was working and building with Dad. I made trips into Canada with my friend McBeth. With a 1954 Crestlineer car. I headed for Pocatello for my first try at higher learning ?College?. With one semester under my belt, I dropped out and went home. That wasn?t for me. My next adventure was in the National Guard, to Fort Knox, KY. I was a tank commander, 116 armored division, so spent my time driving a tank. When I got home, I helped my dad build homes, a motel and apartment and business building. I married Colleen Anderson on 14 March 1958 in Elko, Nevada and acquired an instant family, Kenny-6 and Leana-4. We had Rick and that gave us three children. We ran the motel for fifteen years and the lobby was our living room. Between cleaning motel rooms and apartments we had in town I had opened a cycle shop. We were plenty busy. In 1964 we traded the apartments for a 120 acre farm in Jerome, Idaho. For years Colleen run the motel while I farmed and run the cycle shop. We had lots of things to do with ball games, riding horses and working, we also loved to dance and in fact, we were quite the ?jitterbug couple?. We sold the motel in 1973 and moved to the farm, where my folks had been living. Eight years latter we sold the farm and built a beautiful house in Twin Falls. Colleen did the plans and all the decorating. I was still farming for the California buyer until he could move here, but his luck changed and we had to repossess the farm so we sold the house in Twin and moved back to the farm. I farmed for over 30 years while on the farm we had 200 head of cattle and a smart and loyal dog. This was in 1989. I worked my guts out and ended up paying too much income tax. I never had cattle again. I made more on cattle, the last year, than all the years I worked. I built a new home in Twin. We worked on it for a year and moved in. We also took on a job of rasing a grandson, Brady. Now I go to scouts and to church on Sunday, off and on, to be with him. It?s been a new road, but we love him. We?ve taken many fun trips. A highlight was our trip to Europe, we were gone 30 days and had a good time. I have lots of good friend. Every Christmas we have dinner parties and open house for everyone we know. It takes a while to decorate our house inside and out. Our family helps us put up all the lights. I?m 5' 11" , have blond hair and blue eyes. I weigh 175 lbs. (150 when I was younger). I enjoyed good health all my life, till 2004. Feb. 6 I had a aneurism hit me and was air flighted to Boise near being gone. Kirk and Joe gave me a blessing, and I beat the odds. I have to be very careful and not lift things. I exercise and walk and had made it for three years. I hope to be here to long enough to finish raising Brady. | Adams, Richard Grow (I1938)
