Notes:
Mark Graduated with a 2 year degree from Snow college in Ephraim Utah in 1930
He taught elementary school and served as principal in Northern Utah and
studied summers to obtain is BS degree from Utah State University.
He was an administrator in Granite District, Salt Lake City until the time of
his death in 1971. Mark loved music and sang in barber shop quartets. He
taught music to his students...taking an instrument home and teaching himself
to play it then returning to teach the student. He organized school bands by
this method in the early years of his teaching during the depression. He
served in many church callings.
Mark was a builder and worked the building trade summers and weekends and
helped his sons to build homes.
He was a loved and respected member of the community. He served in many
church callings and gave freely of his time and talents to help others, Mark
and Carrie moved to "Holladay" now an upscale suburb of SLC in 1945 and there
had what the grandchildren refered to as a just about really farm...about 1
acre with fruit trees, garden, chickens, a milk cow and an occasional pig. The
effort was to be self sufficient and teach his family to work for what they had.
It was not until sometime in the middle '60's that he gave up and sold the cow
and slaughtered the last of the chickens. An amusing thing happened that
finally prompted the decision to go out of the cow business. One day Mark was
returning from a district administrators meeting and had several fellow
administrators in the car with him. They came to a great traffic tangle and
found that there in the middle of a busy intersection was a cow. Mark
recognized the cow and his ears burned as he listened to his peers express
their opinion of someone keeeping a cow in this community. He ducked his head
and delivered the others to their respective schools before her returned to
catch his straying milk cow. Growing up the phone call I (Julianne) hated
most to recieve was the one reporting that our cow had gotten out and was
either on a newly planted lawn....tramping someones garden...or creating other
mayhem. Looking back I don't think it hurt any of us to learn that animals
had to be cared for no matter whether you were sick,or not and whether the
temperature was below zero or over 100, Whether it was Christmas morning, your
birthday,or even your wedding day. A paper route has been the closest we could
come to duplicating the experience for our children.
Notes:
Carrie was raised by her paternal Grandparents since her mother died of
childbed fever a few days after her birth.
Carrie has devoted her life to her family. She is a very nurturing and devoted
mother and grandmother. She is very skilled in homemaking arts particularly
hand work and quilting. She has given each of her 29 grandchildren a hand done
quilt at the time of their marriage and continues to provide a hand made quilt
to each new great child as it arrives. at this time (May 1996) there are 50
great grandchildren.
Carrie is a woman of great devotion and faith. She has served faithfully in
church callings through the years and has taught her family to to likewise.
Carrie passed away in January 2003 at the age of 95. She died from the spread of Breast Cancer that was first treated by surgery and Tamoxafin in 1994. She was cancer free until Spring 2001 when she had further surgery for recurrence in an axillary node. by fall 2001 it had spread into her neck and she underwent radiation therapy. This took a real toll on her energy at 94 years of age but she bounced back and was soon doing her daily walking for exercise and continuing in her church service as secretary of the Relief Society at the retirement center where she lived. By late sumer 0f 2002 she was suffering constant nausea which grew progressively worse. She determined to quit fighting and started looking forward to the reunion with loved ones on the other side of the vail. She lived alone and managed her own affairs until the first of December when she came to live at the home of Julianne and Maurice. She was there only 5 weeks with home hospice providing medical support. Until the last 3 days she was alert and able to communicate with her 4 children who gathered to spend this last time with her. It was a precious time. It was a bonding time for all of us particulatly the two Pats, the newest members of her immediate family.

Notes:
Brent was born prematurely with an abnormal esophagas. It ended in a pouch and
then joined his lung. Consequently he got pneumonia. They began feeding by
tubes and hoped to keep him alive till he was old enough to operate on.
Pneumonia took him at only a few weeks age. The Doctors did an autopsy and
developed a surgical proceedure to save others so afflicted. Many years later
Mark and Carrie would occasionally hear of another child who had benefited from the procedure and could expect a full life.
