BIOGRAPHY:

                                                          Madge (Margaret) Cram

         Madge was born July 26, 1900 in Kanab, Utah.  She was the second child born to John Smith and Fannie Bunting Cram.  Eldred, their first child, died at birth.  Margaret's name was changed to Madge by usage, and this is the name she was known by all of her life.

         She remembers her childhood as being a happy time.  There were two main rooms in the house, with a "lean-to" for the kitchen, and another where the uncles sleet when they were in town.  There was no door from the main house to lean-to.  They had to go out onto LI-he porch, and through the outside door.

         Her Grandma Maggie, her father's mother, lived with the Crams until she die of uterine cancer in 1929.  Grandma Maggie was a significant person in Madge's life.  Evidently she was the one who took time to talk to Madge and do things for her.

         The main reading material was the Sears and Roebuck catalog in the cold, cold or hot, hot outhouse.  Madge still takes the newspaper or a magazine when she heads for the bathroom.  She says habits of a lifetime are hard to break.

         Madge told of the Saturday night bath ritual.  The number three tub (the biggest size) was set in the middle of the kitchen floor near the stove where it was warm.  The youngest child was bathed first, the next youngest, etc.  At first you could sit in the tub, but as you grew, it was necessary to kneel and wash yourself from that position.  She never could figure out how her father bathe as he was six feet seven inches tall.

         Madge was an excellent student in school, and was very active in the dramatic productions in the high school.  "Daddy" Hayes was one teacher who was very special to her.

         In 1918 the crowd went to the Grand Canyon and hiked to the bottom.  Isiah Meeks offered to marry Madge, even though she had stayed overnight with the crowd, and her "reputation was therefore compromised." She turned him down.

         Lester Little gave Madge a lovalier for Christmas in 1918.  That was when she kissed him the first time.  The Crams and the Littles grew up together.  They were both Democrats and nonconformists.  Madge Cram and Lester F. Little were married June 25, 1920 and spent their honeymoon at the sheepherd.  When summer was over, Madge and Lester moved to town, and lived in the Cram family home.  (Madge's parents had built a new and much larger house.)

         On June 13, 1921, their first son, John Kenyon, was delivered by Dr. Morris.  On October 16, 1922, their second child, Lorna, was born.

         In the spring of 1923, Lester took out homestead papers in Sink Valley and they built a cabin to live in.  It was a very long way from town by team and wagon and they soon bought a Model T Ford to travel back and forth.

         Their third child, Larry Lester, was born May 21, 1924.  Lester sold him homestead to his Uncle Alec Findlay and bought Louis Young's ranch at the mouth of Johnson Canyon.  Milton,
Madge's brother worked for them.  They moved two houses together to make a house of four rooms.

         In 1928, Lester and Madge bought a small house in Kanab and moved into it so Kenyon and  Lorna could go to school.

         Madge and Lester enjoyed traveling, and meeting people, and seeing the world.  In 1932, they took a trip to the Chicago World's Fair.

         In 1934,  the Littles lived at the ranch and drove to school each day.  They carried the mail, too.  This helped to pay the expenses.

          Lester traded hay to the sawmill for lumber and built several units to rent to tourists.  In winter they were rented full time to school teachers.  The family lived in rather makeshift quarters in the attics and laundry room until the big house was completed.

         In 1938, Madge and Lorna lived in town to care for the motel.  Clara Bess and Caroline kept house for the men folks at the ranch.

         In 1949, Lester and Madge were divorced after many years of living in conflict.  They sold the Ranch Lodge.  Lester went on running the ranch, and Madge moved to California.

         On October 10, 1951, they got married again and bought the Kanab Auto Court from his parents.  They lived and worked there until 1955 when they sold it to Emron Robinson and retired.

         In 1956,  they went to Pasadena to view the Rose Parade and then flew to Hawaii.  They attended the Democratic National Convention In Washington, D.C., and then traveled to Europe attending the World's Fair followed by a tour of Belgium, Germany, Austria, France and Switzerland.

         In 1961, Madge and Lester received an invitation to attend the inaugural of John F. Kennedy as a reward for their devotion to the Democratic Party.  However, they were unable to attend.

         In 1964, they attended the Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City, and spent a month sightseeing in eastern Europe.  They attended a Business and Professional Women's Conference in Mannheim, Germany.

         In the winter of 1971, Lester and Madge took their small house trailer and toured the hinterlands of Mexico.  They enjoyed it so much that they were preparing to return when Lester died very suddenly on September 20, 1971.

         While on a bus tour in the winter of 1974, Madge met G. B. Workman.  They were married March 11, 1974.  For several years, they spent winters at Leisure World in California and summers at their ranch in Ft.  Duchesne, Utah.

         In August of 1978,, Madge and G. B. were hit by a car while crossing the street in Roosevelt.  She sustained very serious injuries and continued to have medical problems after that.  Because of their health problems, the sold the ranch and moved into Roosevelt.

         In 1979, Madge went with her son Larry and his wife, Ginger, to China.  She found it fascinating and enjoyed the trip in spite of her poor health.

         G. B. died February 17, 1989.  Madge survived several cancers during her later years, but finally succumbed to cancer of the lungs on July 11, 1989 just a days before her 89th birthday.  She died in the Kanab Hospital and was buried in the Kanab Cemetery next to Lester Little.

ST. GEORGE - LaVon Cram Blackburn, our cherished mother, grandmother and sister, passed away, Oct. 29, 1999 at the age of 93 and is now with her beloved husband  Easton Blackburn.

LaVon's life is celebrated by those she leaves behind - children: Easton Dwight Blackburn, Von C. Blackburn, Clair Blackburn, William H. Blackburn, Bonnie G. Henrie, Betty K. Barnum, and their Spouses; 25 grandchildren; 29 great-grandchildren; and brother Norman Cram.  She is now reunited with son J.

Born Nov. 18, 1905 in Kanab to Fannie Bunting and John Smith Cram, LaVon filled her early life with education, service, music, and love of the out-of-doors.  After her marriage to Easton, together they focused on raising a good family.  Their team efforts built businesses and supported the community of Orderville and later moved to St. George to expand their opportunities.  There LaVon returned to education, lovingly teaching years of first grade students at West Elementary.  Seizing any task as a teaching moment, LaVon believed in active learning, especially for her treasured grandchildren.  Renowned for her enthusiasm and energy, she gave service to church, found time to do genealogy, make quilts, fish at Kolob, travel to see family and friends, and to go dancing with her sweetheart.  This lively, cheerful woman was always on the go.

Funeral services celebrating LaVon's life will take place at 11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 6, 1999 at the St. George East Stake Center, 449 S. 300 East.

The family expresses sincere appreciation to those who tenderly cared for LaVon these last few years, especially most recently, those at Alpine Valley Care Center, Pleasant Grove, Utah.

BIOGRAPHY: "LaVon Cram Blackburn Shares Her Memories with Others" by Barbara Pyles; Southern Utah News, Tuesday 2/9/93.

         The wind howled and whistled.  Darts of lightning zipped through the sky, with the accompanying thunder shaking the whole house.  Aunt Lunny Brown, the midwife, held Fannie Cram's hand.  She knew, John Cram would never make it home in time from, House Pock Valley.

         When the new father walked into the house, he looked at a small bundle in his wife's arms. Red-head LaVon Cram Blackburn had entered the world.  Now at 83, Blackburn shares her memories with you ... by taking a sentimental journey.

         LaVon Cram Blackburn was born in the Cram house, where the first Kane County hospital was later built.

         She remembers fondly the new house on the corner of  third north and first west.  "I remember my father, Uncle George and Uncle Heber all working on our new home.  It was painted white and we had the first player piano in to town and a six foot bathtub.  It was beautiful."

         Blackburn recalls being baptized in the Kanab reservoir, southeast of Kanab.  Her lovely hair hung in ringlets down her back.  "When I came up, I was full of cockleburs," she says.

         There were wild horses in Kanab Canyon.  The young men would wait by the spring on top of the sand hills while the horses drank.  They would throw ropes around the animal's necks, and bring them down in the morning.

         Growing up in a large family left Blackburn with many fond memories.  When she was 10 her father took the family on a trip to the Grand Canyon.  "We spent ten days going to the Grand Canyon and back," she says.  "We saw all kinds of wild animals; sheep, bear and turkey."

         In the sixth grade, she knew how to make patterns for all of her own clothes.  It was around that time Blackburn won a heifer calf.  It was a reward from her father for having good grades.

         In high school, she vividly recalls learning the art of cleaning and cooking a chicken.  "They chopped the head off and brought it to us," she says.

         Blackburn says, she took choir when George and Clara Shields were teaching at the high school.  She recalls washing dishes for them for ten cents a tub.

         Blackburn chuckled as she recalls another story.  "Grandpa kept his money and tools buried in an insulated box in the walk-in closet.  When my sister lived in the house, she heard a noise coming from the closet.  Her husband shot inside the box." Blackburn laughed, hard.  "It was a skunk and everyone had to move out."

         There is one Saturday while she was in high school that lingers in her mind.  Doctors came to Kanab and spent all day Saturday taking tonsils out in the school kitchen.  "They used our dish pans and Monday everything smelled of ether," she says.

         She will never forget summer spent waiting tables at the Grand Canyon.  "One summer, the Prince and Princess of Sweden paid the North Rim a visit," she says.   "The flowers were all in bloom, and my father gathered them some seeds from the hillsides of Kanab.  They sent word back that the seeds grew."

         Blackburn once rode a mule down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. "It was so hot, that night we wrapped ourselves in wet sheets," she says.

         With high school behind her, Blackburn went to Branch Normal School in Cedar City.  "Mother wanted me to be a teacher so I could help my younger brothers with their homework."

         After college graduation, the Cedar City superintendent asked her to teach in Cedar.  "You have the enthusiasm we need," he said.

         Her parents gave their permission and Blackburn remained in Cedar City.  She taught at West Side Elementary  for $69.00 a month.  The second year, the superintendent promoted her to critic teacher and her salary jumped to $100.00 a month.

         Traveling back and forth from Kanab to Cedar back then was difficult.  She had to travel from Kanab, down around Pipe Springs and then back into Hurricane.  "When I came home, I took an extra day and left after school.  I stayed in Hurricane, because it would take all day to travel to Kanab " she says.  "You could go anyplace in the United States easier than you could go from Kanab to anywhere you wanted to go."

         In 1927, Blackburn recalls going on a trip with her family.  John and Fannie loaded the Ford Truck and their blue Buick with all seven children.  After visiting family in Nevada and California, they traveled down the coast to Long Beach, California.  The group was so thrilled with their first sight of the ocean that John Cram went into the Sears and Roebuck Store and bought eight bathing suits.  The family spent the winter in Arizona, and LaVon returned to Cedar City to teach school.

         By this time, she was dating Easton Blackburn.  They would go to plays and dances and ride around in his 1921 Ford.

         The lasting memories of love are some of her warmest.  One day she borrowed her dad's Buick.  She drove to Orderville and then as far as she could to where Easton was sheep herding.  She handed him a graham cracker and nut cake.  "It's no fun you teaching in Cedar City and me here.  I would like to get married," he said.

         She wanted to teach one more year to get a radio and some more clothes.  "My sister convinced me to marry Easton before someone else got him," she says.  The couple was married on August 22, 1929 on his 25th birthday.  They lived in a small rustic cabin above Glendale were Easton was a sheepherder.  He earned $2.00 a day.

         That summer they w)ere hired to work at Grand Canyon.  She baked pastry and made salads, and he did the cooking.  "We made $180.00 a month.  In those days that much was unheard of," she says.  At the end of the season, the couple was offered a job back East, but they refused.

        The Blackburns' wanted to start a family.  They moved to Orderville and built their first home.  The couples dreams were coming true, they had two sons and a daughter.

         But not all memories are happy ones - their beloved daughter died. The home held too many memories, so her husband built a new house with a fireplace and basement.  When the family grew, he built a larger house.  The last Blackburn house is still standing in Orderville today.

         Because of their son, Von's asthma, Easton stopped farming and built a service station and motel.  They maintained a good reputation for its service and food.

         Von's asthma worsened, so the couple packed up their five sons and belongings, and moved to Chandler, Arizona.  In the early '50's, they moved to St. George, Utah, there they eventually welcomed two daughters to their family.

         Some of her fondest memories are of teaching.  It was her love for teaching that sent I31acl,7burn back into the classroom.  She taught first at East and then at West Elementary in St. George.  Her students understood what she taught, because she made it interesting.

         Blackburn retired from teaching at the age of 62, but she didn't retire from life.  She started making quilts.  This active lady has made over 200 quilts and has given most of them away to her daughters, daughter-in-laws, grandchildren and great grandchildren.  There is nostalgia in her quilts.  She created quilts from handkerchiefs that her students gave her and others from clothes her children wore.

         But she didn't stop at making quilts.  Blackburn made afghans and braided rugs for her family.

         Today, Blackburn is involved in yet another project.  She is doing the genealogy for three families: the Blackburns, the Crams and the Buntings.  Her journey down memory lane isn't over.  "I'm going to live another twenty years.  I still have lots to do," she says.

BIOGRAPHY:
                                  MILTON BUNTING CRAM
                                 By his son, John Cram

         Milton Cram was born September 3, 1907 to John and Fannie Cram.  He was the fifth of twelve children.  Surviving brothers and sisters are Madge, LaVon, Clara, Lock, Orem, and Norman.

         At the time of his birth the family home was on the site of the old Kanab Hospital, where the new Kanab Medical Clinic is now.  Milt tells of moving to their new house in Kanab with deep snow on the ground. They moved their belongings on a sled with locust runners with a natural curve up in the front.

         They had the second player piano in town.  Later it was stripped down and used at dances at Hillcrest.  Some Spanish music player rolls were popular.  Some rolls were played backwards -they went over as new tunes.

         As a youngster, he traveled 45 miles across country with the Boy Scout troop to attend ceremonies in Zion National Park when President Warren G. Harding was there.  Milt was patrol leader in the troop selected to help control the crowds at the gathering, and later shook hands with the President.

         Milt was a hard worker.  As a young man he would either have a job in town or be helping Uncle Alex on the ranch in House Rock Valley.  Milt liked horses and cattle.

         He tells about someone wanting him to homestead south of Las Vegas, before Boulder Dam was constructed, and become a partner in the dairy farm business.  Milt said he felt like his dad, John Cram, had said when he was asked why he didn't do more farming.  John Cram thought a minute and said, "I would do more farming if I could do it horseback."

         He, also, liked cars.  Starting when he was a boy, he always had an old car that he could make run.  He liked to tell stories of different stripped down Model T Fords he'd had.

         When his father died, Milt helped support his mother and the younger children in the family.  He worked on road construction jobs as a mule skinner for Hodgeman and McVicker. He worked on the Kaibab, in House Rock Valley, around Florence and in Oak Creek Canyon.  They got snowed in at Oak Creek and had to get out with just the horses and mules.  Milt carried George Greenhalgh, who had inflammatory arthritis on his back through the snow.

         Back around 1935 there was a customary Saturday night poker game in Kanab.  The poker players got in the habit of going down to the tavern (Milt's Tavern) and pounding on the door wanting Milt to open up and feed them breakfast.  Milt decided to cure this habit so he had Jack Butler get him two hindquarters of mountain lion meat.  He soaked it in cooking wine and spiced it fancy.  When the poker players showed up, Milt began to fry lion steaks with all the trimmings.  As the food was being cooked, the poker player's wives showed up with fresh baked sweet rolls to join their wayward husbands for breakfast.  They slicked up the steaks exclaiming, "Such good Pork"  Later Milt told Uncle James Bunting what he had served the card players.  Uncle James asked them if they had been experiencing any strange behavior and let the "Cat" out of the bag.

         Many movie stars frequented the Tavern when they were filming in Kanab.  Milt always protected them from the public when possible.  Curiosity seekers often stood very near the people they were seeking without recognizing them in "ordinary" clothes.

         Milt sold his Tavern after operating it for twenty years.  He then invested in a lodge near the east gate of Zion National Park.  He operated it until he retired and sold it in 1973.  He then moved back to his home in Fredonia.

         Milt's life might be summed up as saying he enjoyed hard work, livestock and meeting people.

         Milt died March 2, 1982 and was buried in the Fredonia Cemetery.  His children are Evelyn, Marilyn, and John.
