Notes:
                       Short stature.  After marraige, lived in Ogden and Park City; got
    tuberculosis from working in the silver mines. Also had small pox there.
    Moved to a farm four miles outside of Rexburg in April 1904. (by rail).
    The family later moved to Nampa, Idaho, where he worked for the
    railroad and later the lumber yard. While in Nampa, he served in the
    bishopric in the Nampa First Ward and she was Primary president.  The
    family then moved to Pocatello and started the Model Bakery and owned
    their first car, a Maxwell (he would holler 'whoa - whoa') The bakery
    failed (partner problems) so the family moved to Weiser to farm on Dead
    Ox flat (80 acres); they lost the farm and moved into Weiser where he
    worked in the Electric Bakery. He then moved to Huntington, Oregon, and
    then to LaGrande where he helped the boys get a new bakery started and
    then to Baker to help that bakery get started.  He died suddenly - the
    story goes that, as he was walking past the mortuary, he gasped and sank
    to the sidewalk - typical of him - he didn't want to be a bother to anyone
    - a beautiful way to go but hard on his wife, Amelia.

    the bakery business in Vale, OR. where he met and married Rella Kimball
    in the SLC Temple 5 JUne 1913 (she was from Nampa).  In addition to the
    bakery, he tended honey bees.  He and his brother, Frank, bought bakeries
