From a Facebook post by Glen Hudson :
Here is part of an oral history dictated by my great-aunt Ruth Hudson Ke s ler. Ruth is the youngest daughter of my great-grandparents, Andrew J . Hu dson and Sarah Emily Coleman. Ruth Kesler was adopted by Emily Colem an ab out 1926. Emily was a widow at that time:
"We lived on a house … south of the Magrath trading company .
My grandmother Coleman was from Cardiff, Wales and had 12 children. [I n h er later years, she lived with my mother]. I used to sit by [my grand ma's ] knee hour after hour listening to her sing. She used to sing “O M y Fath er” in Welsh. I sat by her knee for hours learning just two or thr ee line s. My grandma taught me to count to 10 in Welsh .
I remember one day that my mom went to Relief Society and she left me ho m e to tend my Grandma. And for some reason, the kids were out of schoo l an d they had a great big huge hill to go sleigh-riding on. And I didn’ t hav e a sleigh so I used to go on a cardboard box. And it was lots of f un. Wo re the bottom out of one and go get another and away we’d go again . Thi s day that Mom had gone to Relief Society, I looked out and all th e kid s were sleigh riding and they were having so much fun.
So I decided, ‘why not dress my Grandma up and take her? As long as I di d n’t leave her alone, well, it wouldn’t hurt. ’
So I dressed her up in her galoshes and her coat with a fur collar and h e r hat and gloves. She was all warm. I went across the hill with her. S h e was only 87. I borrowed a sleigh and I put her in front of me. And aw a y we went down that hill, a long ways we did go. And then I pulled he r ba ck up the hill. And away we’d go again. She just had so much fun.
So finally my mom came home and I wasn’t home and Grandma wasn’t there . A nd when she got out to look and there I was, over on the hill, pullin g Gr andma up the hill on the sleigh. And I want to tell you, my mother w asn’ t very happy. But my Grandma and I sure had fun. And I never did for get t hat, not ever.
If it hadn’t been for my mother taking me into this family, I would ha v e known about the gospel, I would have never known about salvation, o r ab out being sealed for time and eternity." | Hudson, Josephine Ruth (I21219)

Frankie Nelson Whipple Memories:
Papa Frank
"Papa wasn't much of a farmer."
When one of his daughters speaks of 'Papa" it is almost with reverenc e . He was a man who sang, and danced, and built toys for little ones. H e h ad a strong, rich voice and sang in the church choir. He sang at fami ly p arties and other gatherings. Some days he would come in from milkin g sing ing, "La..La..La..Lillie, b..b..b.. beautiful Lillie, You're the o nly gir l that I adore..." On days when he should perhaps have been in th e field s plowing, he would instead be on hands and knees scrubbing the f loors s o Grandma wouldn't have to. He made a family joke about Birthingt on's Was hday, the day when he could be found muscling the handle that ma de the an cient washer churn. And he would sing as he worked.
"We always had a big tree for Christmas."
Farm families created their own fun for holidays. Grandma made her Chri s tmas ornaments from walnut shells, glued together after the meat was ta ke n out. She circled each in lace then painted them gold. And the famil y al ways strung popcorn and cranberries for the tree. But the real magi c cam e from the candles. Papa placed tiny candles in holders all over th e tree . Then when the moment was right he would light them all, just fo r a fe w minutes before he and the children scrambled to blow them al l o ut. Bu t for a few minutes at Christmas the candles twinkled on the tre e and ref lected in the wide eyes of his children.
"Papa built things; oh, he was good at building things."
What Papa may have lacked in desire and ability as a farmer he more th a n made up for in woodworking skills. He built a fence and gates for th e h ouse that were works of art. And his children played on the teeter- t otte r and other toys he made for them.
"I don't remember if they kissed, but I'm sure they did."
There is little doubt that Papa loved Grandma. On cold nights he wou l d go to bed before she did, lying on her side of the bed to get it war m b efore she came in. Then he would move to the cold side to make room f or h er.
Papa's love for Grandma was easy and natural. When they drove anywher e h is arm just went around her. His affection was so open that his chil dre n did not even think about it. It was just there. The family lost th e far m and was forced to move to Logan. Grandma didn't want to leave, sh e wa s sad, but they drove to Logan with Papa's arm around her and sayin g to h er gently, "Lillie, we'll be back." | Benson, Frank Taft (I266)

From the time Mr. Penney was thirty-one years old, he kept a diary. I t i s a very valuable heirloom. A person sets down in a diary those inne r per sonal things, so treasured by the family in after years-----and i t is jus t those things, which Ezra W. Penney entered in his personal jot tings dow n.
We print some of the following with a written comment of our own in pare n theses:
The Purpose of the Book
(The very opening entry discloses the purposes of the book, he says:)
This book is my first attempt to keep a journal.
This book is a starter, as I intend to record my actions as long as I c a n command my senses and collect money together sufficient to buy pape r an d ink, for I am convinced that the more we practice in any line an d branc h of education-----other things being equal----the stronger wil l become o ur organs and functions. We all should strive to improve ourse lves in th e branches we find we are qualified to follow.
(On the flyleaf, he has in quotations:)
"There are religious men who are not good, and good men who are not reli g ious."
-------------a wise and good man. If the world was full of such men, a l l would be much happier and longer lived, ten to one.
"If a man is able to convince me and show that I do not think right, I w i ll gladly change; for I seek the truth by which no man was ever injure d . But he is injured who hides in his error and ignorance.
---Marcus Aurellua Antoninus."
‘'''T is education forms the common mind;
Just as the twig is bent so is the tree inclined."
(Then under the words------)
Ezra Penney,
Account Book and Journal
(comes the quotation:---)
Page 3
That steward whose account is clear Demands his may appear. His action s n ever shun the light, He is and would be proved upright.
(Can any mark or act so denote a man's inner self than his utterance s i n his own private journal, written for no other eye than his own, and , a s he say in this case, "for his mental education and betterment"? A p erso n is truly delineated-----his inner self revealed. For in a moment h e quo tes in his book:) A honest man's the noblest work of god.
Lives Plain and Works Hard
(He gives a family record of births of his children, and I note that Alv i n "Pat" Penney and I were born in the same year. His father is writin g o f 1883 and up to 1887, nearly fifty years ago: My notes on this diar y rea d: "This man was a versatile genius, strong in character, fear less , care ful in his accounts, and his journal teems with such entree ‘as se tting i n full with
our creditors;' or ‘ got up at 2a.m. and loaded up and went to the sulph u r
mines with a load of freight; collected for same and got home at 7p.m.-- - Setteled up with our creditors.''' ‘He in invariably paying his littl e bi lls. And that accounts for the many entries, of which this is a goo d samp le:---"Loaned $150 to------at 1 1/4 per cent per month; now have $ 500 ou t at 10 per cent, $300 out at 1 % and $200 out at 1 ¼%." Electio n day, h e makes the
note "Appointed Judge of election," On another election day he ignores t h e petty stuff and works at putting on his hay, following the old adag e t o make hay while the sun shines.)
"On traveling Sunday night I lost my hat off the wagon, and going down t h e divide into Cove we met man driving a span of mules, and we asked hi m i f he found a hat to leave it at the Post Office in Kanosh, and he pro mise d that he would. On our arrival in Kanosh we found our hat awaitin g us, s o infer that the man inclined to keep his word.
On the 9th of February., 1883 he makes the entry, "The weather a littl e c older----20 below."
(And that pioneering it in Kanosh fifty years ago was not all a bed of p e rfumed roses, but on the contrary cinching up the belt one notch tighte r
many a time in lieu of a meal, he saysJ "Relished a good super of oat me a l and milk."
(What a light into the inner workings a diary is. Those little things , s o insignificant then, today so big! A meal on bread and milk and the y tho usand dollars out at averaging better than ten per cent!).
Page 4
(That he was over trying to correct himself he records: )
Tuesday May 1, 1883: I have resolved to give up the habit of smoking cig a rettes, as there effects are destructive to the vitality of the human o rg anism, and especially harmful to the lungs.
Loaned the merchant, A. Nodauld Fifty Dollars on interest at the rat e o f 1 1/4 per cent per month.
Taste for Good Reading
(He reads the Salt Lake Tribune
And Huxlev in Organic Nature, Organic etc etc., and that in 1883!)
(Records a day that started out with a wedding in the early afternoo n , a death in the early evening and a rousing Grand Ball later that nigh t , eliciting the remark: "Makes quite a mixed up day------Wedding, Feast in g, Prayer, Loving, Death etc all in the same day."
(A comet appeared on the 28th of January 1884. And right before it:)
In fact it is the driest winter I have seen so late in the year, especia l ly in the winter season."
(He complains many times in the years of '83 and ‘4 that there is a ha r d drought on, and everything dry; in one place, that if it keeps up an y l onger, the sheep and cattle will die.)
(And here is just the touch that the human interest historian hankers af t er:)
Tuesday 8 1884; Our darling Speck cow had a bull calf at 3 p.m.
(It is just those unconscious little things like that that reveal the ma n . Pepy's diary remains the standard of the world, for the reason tha t h e gives the the trifling, the little, but the intensely HUMAN thing s of l ife. And Boswell is immortal because he says the Terrible Sammy dr ank nin eteen cups of tea at Mrs. Thrales.)
Earned during my stay in Arizona $150 in legal tenders, and since my ret u rn have earned $70 at the sulphur mines at Cove Creek, Millard County , wh ich makes a total of $220 and we have out $300 at interest at the ra te o f 1 ¼ per cent.
(As to those sulphur mines we read of them first in Carvalo's "Inciden t s of Travel" when he came south after accompanying Col. John C. Fremon t o verland and down to Parowan. Carvalo was plumb done; Fremont not muc h bet ter. Carvalo had to go up to Salt Lake City to recuperate, and nex t sprin g he passed these sulphur mines on his way down south to Californ ia. At K anosh he stopped and too a Daguerreotype of Chief Kanosh and the n went do wn to the Sulphur Pit, steaming, leaping, bubbling, and churnin g; th e
Page 5
Indian guide too scared to approach it. Hot and sizzling, and held on l y a rod beneath. Later Mr. Penney speaks that on such and such a date , "P resident Young and Herber C. Kimball went to the Sulphur Mines for t hei r health,"----a sort of medicinal sulphur bath, internal as well as e xter nal.)
Goes to See the Human Footprint
Sat. 26th April, 1884: Mr. Fielding and I went down to Black Rock to vi e w a human foot track-at least that is what the supposition of those wh o h ave seen it.
Fri., the 30th: E. McClatchie arrived and we were invited to shingle h i s hair. As a matter of course we complied with his wishes.
(This versatile man earned a pretty penney I many ways; for instance " W e read a few heads. " for he was a student of the Phrenological Journa l , of which he is constantly recording in his diary. "received the Phren ol ogical Journal and Science of Life, and it is an interesting number, " H e pulls teeth; shingles hair, reads bunips; does surveying; makes ou t dee ds; is a Notary and swears with at, for and by his compatriots.)
Tuesday, 17 Feb., 1885: I bargainedfor 8 bu of apples from George Cran e , Esq. Times are very dull at present in Kanosh. Money is scarce I shou l d have said. (See how meticulously exact he wishes to be, and goes bac k a nd corrects himself.)
Notes an eclipse on the 16 of March 1885; and on 3 April, the "steadie s t soaking rain for twenty years." And that he had an eve for beauty h e sa ys)
Wed. 22 April 1884, Kanosh is very prettily decorated with Peach Apple s , and Apricot blossoms---that is, that is the estimation of the writer.
(Mentions William George, and Charley Watts. And says the spring of '8 5 i s one of the most pleasant he encountered in this part of the vine ya rd o f Utah)
(He goes again to see the foot prints of the human being in the lava:)
Fri. 15 May 1885: We hired A A. Kimball's light wagon to take a pleasu r e ride. Fritze Meiser, Wm C. Penney and I constituted the party. We exp er ienced quite a shower. Our circuit took in the Natural Rock Corral, th e W arm Springs, the Mormon Reservoir, and the human footprints imbedde d in t he black volcanic rocks, a distance of about two miles from Kanosh .
Pays a Pig for Three Washings
Page 6
(As to wages in those day:----)
Mother had the clothes washed by Mrs. -------. She received a pig for wa s hing three washings.
(Now then, a pig with a good healthy squeal, tail tightly curled and mo r e than a wiener,-----How much did Mrs. So and So get per wash. We'll ha za rd 50 cents each. What do you say?)
He speaks of attending the funeral services of young Huntsman who was sh o t by W. King, Esq., accidentally."
Tues 1st June, 1886; Signed a bound for $2,000 for T. R. Greener p. m.(T h is year reiterates that there is a severe drought on)
(Refers to Hunkupp; again refers to the drought.)
(Here's a humdinger:---)
"Met------and we discovered he was on a Breeze, the first time in five y e ars."
(It is just such things that make his journal a treasure. When I sen t i t back to Pat I insured it for $100; had it been lost, money could no t re place it.)
(He had to borrow some money from Amon Robinson, who ran the Gilead Lo a n & Trust o. Wonder if there was balm in Gilead if a borrower failed t o k ick through?) (On the flyleaf of the next volume is this, without quo tati on marksJ
Know this that every man is free to choose his life and what he will b e , for this eternal truth is given-------
God will pass no man to heaven!
(He speaks of the.S. mail being carried on horse back at present, on acc o unt of the heavy wagon roads, mud, snow, slush, and chuck holes." An d o n a minute says "Played on the banjo."
Review Year in Humble Spirit
Fri. 31, Dec 1886: Mother prepared us a good dinner. We are all well . A t the close of the year, 1886, feel proud to be able to thank God, Ou r He avenly Father, for the many blessings we have received at His hand s in re lation to Health, Prosperity, and General Good. Feeling connecte d with ou r welfare. We have been quite successful this year, considerin g the droug hty season…….
Page 7
We can say that we are most6 thankful for living in such a quiet tie t h e present year has been. Everything seems to be in good condition all o ve r America and in fact throughout the world. May peace and happiness re ig n over the entire globe. A Happy New Year.
(Can you beat that for a rfree, untrammeled outpouring of a fervent hear t , at ease with all the world, his neighbors, and himself? A diary is ho ne st, -----much other writing isn't)
(He is a member of the corporation distributing water, saysJ
Thomas Callister, Judge of Probate, R. Hutton, T. R. Greener, and Thom a s Charlesworth and took the oath of office o a corporation expected i n Ka nosh in Dec., 1885.
(Said he read the knobs on the beans and felt the solid ivory of sever a l go loots. Wait, here comes a SCREAM! In a double sense!)
"Just before dinner we extracted a second molar from a nigger boy, an d i t was a caution to hear him squeal!----But the tooth came right along !:)
(There, taken as an appetizer, so to speak. Teeth yanked while you wait. ) Wed. Mar 16th, 1887 "Invited to draw Henry Robinson's body to the grave ya rd….He was highly esteemed by everyone who knew him."
(No bank in those days, and he is constantly talking about changing chec k s with someone for gold and silver, or vice versa.)
Dig up Pottery in Ancient Mound
And again Visits Human Footprints
(And here just this last week or two we have printed detail of archeolog i cal discovers in Kanosh, so listen to this ante-dating us over forty ye ar s:)
Sunday, March 27, 1887: "I dug down in some mounds in George Crane's fie l d 9 a.m. and discovered some Crockery, supposed to be made by people w h o in habited this locality a long time ago,"
(He was right. Possibly 1500 or so years ago! Nor was that all this inte r esting man did; for continuing his research work that same day, to embr ac e all of interest, he says: "Returned home by Black Rock and looked a t th e footprints in the rocks."
(He kept an interesting diary. Not a page hardly but there is some revel a tion. It seems that that footprints had fascination for Mr. Penney, an d l ured him back time after time; for the very next Sunday he remarks:-- -
"Sun,. April 3, 1887; after dinner Wm. C. Penney, Amanda Penney, Amand a P enney, Mr Dunn and I went down to lower Town and Richard Hatton and J ame s Hatton joined us and we took a bath in the warm springs ,
Page 8
and returned by way of the rock corral. Indian grave yard, the Caves, et c ." (Simply could not keep away. Next Sunday he played hooky from Sunda y s chool and said" "B Dunn and I -----drove down to Black Rock to see th e fo otprints in the rock. Quite a curiosity." -----And for the many time s h e says, "Settled up with our creditors.")
(He was appointed Marshall of the Day for the 24th celebration in 1887 . J udge of Election that year, too and speaks of some old windjammin'
adjective hurler as "full of bombast!'
Knows the Value of Paint
Wed. 27 Aug., 1887; We painted our front porch, window sills, etc.,
which improved the appearance very much. One would hardly think what a d i fference a few dollars worth of paint will make around a place.
(And that you haven't taken the complete measure of this man yet, list e n to this little unimportant side light:--)

Remains of Murdered Father and Son Positively Identified
Kanosh, Millard Co., (Utah)
Oct 21 1907
A second telephone message came to Mrs. Amanda Penney at 2 p.m. today st a ting that the two bodies, supposed to be those of Ezra Penney and his s o n George were still in the grave where discovered. One was wrapped i n a b lanket, laying on the top of the other. They would not be further d isturb ed until after the arrival of the sheriff of Beaver County .
Mrs. Penney's son Edward instructed his brother William Penney to come o u t prepared to convey the remains home to Kanosh.
There seems to be no doubt as to the identity of the skeleton remains, b e ing identified by four bridged teeth in front of Ezra Penney's mouth a n d by a heavy shawl and quilt in which the bodies had been wrapped whe n bu ried.
The years' exposure to the elements had not destroyed the shawl or quilt.
There is every evidence to believe that the father and son were both mur d ered, as both were in one hole, one lying over the other, where they h a d been partly buried.
More than a year ago there was found near Parowan, more than 80 miles di s tant, the father's wagon and harness, and the skeletons of the horses . Th e horses had been shot through the head. The seat of the wagon was c overe d with blood and blood elsewhere which, under microscopical analysi s, wa s proved to be human blood. The wagon and other things were covere d wit h earth, as though in an effort to conceal them. They were found b y a she ep herder who needing a strap of harness protruding from the grou nd pulle d it out and disclosed the whole outfit.
How the wagon got to Parowan is a puzzle, but its presence at a distan c e so far remote from the scene of the murder is accounted for on the th eo ry that the desperados realizing that they could not escape by means o f t heir victim's team, killed the horses and concealed the evidence wit h dir t and brush."
Ezra W. Penney and his son George left Kanosh about November, 14th, 189 8 ; the went to Wah Wah Springs, stayed there a short time and then wen t t o the mountains. They were cruelly murdered.
On October 21, 1905, by means of some bridge work, on the upper front te e th, and the fabric of a shawl in which the remains were found, two skel et ons were identified as being those of Mr. Penney and his son.
The murder was a mystery, and remains to this day unsolved. Alleged perp e trators were arrested, a partial confession gotten from the women accom pl ice (so alleged), but the prosecution failed to secure a conviction.
The man whose inner character is accurately delineated in his private jo u rnal, what he thought, what he cherished, what he rejected as false, th i s man is foully murdered and his body hid, the wagon which he drove tak e n to pieces and dropped in crevices in rocks, and for nearly eight lon g y ears the disappearance was enshrouded in mystery.

According to Milestones of Millard (Copywright 1951 by DUP) the Ezra Pen n ey house was one of the first hotels in Kanosh. It was owned by Ezra a n d his wife and housed Federal agents who were sent to Kanosh to arres t me n practicing polygamy. | Penney, Ezra Wyman (I19062)

GENIEL WOOD JENSON
Written by Joan Wood Triplett 1979
Geniel was born January 30, 1930 to the parents of Clayton Ashby Wood a n d Eva Louise Mckee Wood, at the family home in Holden Utah (Millard Cou nt y). She had one older sister, Gwen, born November 18, 1926 and older b rot her, Theron born January 24, 1928. Later in December 4, 1931 a younge r si ster, Joan, was born, followed by Edward Lane the youngest child wa s bor n July 23, 1934.
Geniel lived in Holden Utah with her family in a red brick house on th e m ain street of the town. Her father built the home for his family. I t is p resently standing. Clayton was an excellent carpenter and built ma ny home s in the small town and some of the family furniture. During th e depressi on he built burial boxes for many people who had loved ones di e and the y could not afford to buy caskets. His pay was a sack of potato es or whea t which helped him feed his young family.
Geniel's mother died when she was five years old. The family continued l i ving in Holden with neighbors and relatives helping with the children . He r father continued working as a carpenter in Holden and near by town s. Te d (Edward Lane) ten months old lived with his grandparents David an d Emil y McKee who continued raising him until he entered High School an d once a gain joined his brothers and sisters.
Geniel entered Holden Elementary School in the fall of 1936. This wa s a t wo story rock school building with four or five class rooms and a l arge a ctivity room and stage on the second floor. Classes were combine d due t o the few children and class rooms.
February 6, 1938, she was baptized in the Holden Chapel baptism font. T h e Holden chapel was next to the school on the first street east of tow n . This church yard and school yard gave a nice activity area for town c el ebrations and activities. Easter Egg hunts and Fourth of July races an d g ames were always bald in _.this shady grassy area. Grandma Emily Gill es M cKee always made Geniel and her sisters July 4th dresses to celebrat e thi s special day.
One of the church assignments of the teen age girls of the LDS churc h i n those days was to wash and polish the little sacrament cups each we ek . Geniel and I were invited to help our older cousins and neighbors d o th is tedious task. Many an afternoon was spent at the chapel kitchen g ettin g the little cups ready for the next sacrament meeting. It seemed l ike a n endless task, but we helped gladly. Sometimes we would find apple s in t he cupboard left by a member of the bishopric or a ward member t o say tha nk you for our efforts.
The front porch of our family home was a great activity area. Playing ho u se or school on the porch was ideal. We would kneel and use the wide ce me nt railing as our desks or stove etc. We were instructed never to stan d o r walk on this railing. As normal children we occasionally did not ob ey t he rule. One time I fell off the porch and a branch of the bush belo w ra n through my lower lip. Geniel was at my side first and insisted o n usin g her nursing skills to pull the twig out. She insisted it must co me ou t before it started to grow bigger and hurt me mire. Through my scr eamin g she performed this task and helped me to the house for medical he lp whi ch included washing it with soap and water and holding a clean clo th on i t until it stopped bleeding. I still have the scar and remember t his even t even today.
In 1941 our Father Clayton Wood found it necessary to leave the Holder a r ea and seek employment in Northern Utah. He got a job at Hill Air Forc e B ase as a carpenter supervisor. He roomed at the home of Septemma Whit esid es a widow with three children who rented the extra rooms to men wor ker s to help support her family. The summer of 1941 he convinced her t o disc harge all her other renters and he moved
his children to Layton Utah so they could once again be together as a fa m ily.
This was a big adjustment for the children, new friends, new school, n e w area-¬quite different from the little quiet community of Holden wher e 8 0% of the town was a relative.
September 1941 Geniel became a 6th grader in Layton Elementary School. S h e was bused two miles to school. This was another adjustment. Holden h a d no bus service since the town was small. There was always a worry i n Ge niel's mind of missing the school bus and having to walk home. She w as ve ry good to watch for me to see that I got on the bus also. The seco nd da y of school she came running just as the bus was leaving the schoo l yard . I was glad to see that she had not missed the bus. She grabbed m e and t ook me off the bus. I didn't know there were four school buses an d I ha d got on the wrong one. Thank goodness for big sisters!
In December 1941. when Pearl Harbor was bombed our new big school beca m e a very big over crowded school. With Hill Air Force base and many oth e r govern¬ ment areas in our local area the population-doubled in the ne x t three months. Geniel had gone from a 5th grade class in Holden Utah w it h 12 students to a 6th grade class that had grown to 49 students by th e e nd of that school year. This was a big change for everyone. Geniel be cam e active in Girl Scouts and Primary this year and adjusted well to he r ne w life. With all the other new students we no longer felt that we we re di fferent and enjoyed our new home.
Geniel entered North Davis Junior High School in Clearfield, Utah in Sep t ember 1942. This was a beautiful school and had students from all the t ow ns in North David County. Geniel attended 7th-8th and 9th grade at thi s s chool. She enjoyed all the new advanced studies and activities of th e Jun ior High. She disliked community showers after physical education c lass b ut accepted it as a necessary requirement of junior high school.
Geniel entered high school in September 1945 and attended Davis High Sch o ol in Kaysville, Utah. David was the high school for South Davis Junio r H igh and North Davis Junior High students combined. This brought man y ne w friendships and more advanced activities and studies which Genie l adjus ted to very well. She was a very good student, her grades were av erage an d above. She was a good student and never flunked a class or eve n a tes t that I am aware of. She attended seminary all three years of hi gh schoo l at Barnes Seminary on campus of Davis High School. The Seminar y Buildin g was across the driveway of the high school and students atten ded durin g regular school hours receiving school credit of.5 per years c lass. Ol d Testament, New Testament and Church History were the classes t aught. Gr aduation at the completion of the three years took place at th e stake's o f the area. Geniel graduated from a Stake Center at Clearfiel d, Utah in M ay 1948.
Geniel was a member of the High School Girls Club called PRO SCHOLA. Th e y wore brown skirts and brown sweaters trimmed with gold. The hat wa s a s mall pointed hat of brown with gold trim. Yes, the school colors o f Davi s High School were brown and gold. The club performed marching dri lls fo r football and basketball half times. They helped with selling an d takin g tickets at games and various school functions. They had variou s servic e projects. Geniel and her close friends enjoyed this school spi rited clu b and all the fun et brought. They had a banquet at the end o f the schoo l year and recognized all the members and their achievements . This was 's o successful et was written into the club bi-laws and conti nued down thro ugh the future years.
Geniel Graduated from Davis High School in May 1948. They had the cap a n d gown ceremony held in the football stadium and about 340 were in he r gr aduation class..
Geniel was very interested in becoming a nurse and geared her high scho o l studies along that line. She also took some business classes and di d ve ry well in typing and shorthand. At her graduation when all the scho larsh ips were announced our step Mother became aware and concerned tha t Our Ge niel had not received or even applied for any scholarships. Sh e contacte d the school to look into things. She found that a scholarshi p for nursin g has been offered to Davis High School but it had never, be en offered t o Geniel. When asked why, the school authorities said that G eniel had nev er been considered as scholarship material. This really ups et our Step Mo ther and she went to battle for her daughter. After week s of letters, vis its and phone calls to the Hospital, high school and sc hool district offi ces, Geniel had a scholarship at Dee Memorial Hospita l in Ogden, Utah t o enter nursing training in the fall of 1948. This wa s a very rewarding e xperience for our whole family, to truly realize wha t concern our step mo ther had for her new children.
During her teen age years Geniel earned spending money picking cherrie s a t Grandma Bloods cherry orchard in Kaysville, Utah. The orchard as ac ros s the street and down about a mile from David High School. Since Gran dm a Blood (Step Grandma) was elderly and a widow, her children managed t h e orchard with each child taking turns by the two year span.. Aunt Ann i e Cook and our Mother decided to share their four years so we as teen s ha d a full time job for four or five weeks every summer. We were pai d 2 1/ 2 to 40 per pound for picking, depending upon the kind and if the y were t o be picked with or without stems. We had a special concern fo r the orcha rd because it was like part of the family owned by our Grandm a and manage d by our parents. We were up at 4 AM and came home late bu t by the end o f the season we had earned enough spending money to last f or the year wit h careful budgeting and small income from baby sitting an d other small jo bs. At the end of the cherry season we would go to the c ity Ogden or Sal t Lake City and spend the day shopping, movie and dinne r then ride home o n the Bamberger train that then ran between Ogden an d Salt Lake and stopp ed at all the small towns between Ogden and Salt La ke and stopped at al l the small towns between. This was a special trip e njoyed-by all the you ng cherry pickers
Geniel entered nursing training the fall of 1948. She was so worried y e t excited over going away to school. She was assigned a single room an d t he only girl in the program without a room mate. This was new for Gen ie l because she had always had to share a room with her two sisters. Ou r pa rents were concerned about her being lonesome with her not knowing a ny o f her fellow students or instruct¬ors. Geniel was a rather quiet per son . Their concern did not last long for her room became the center poin t o f congregating. She met and gained friendships fast and became the mo st p opular and best liked girl in the whole nursing class. She had her n ursin g training at Dee Memorial Hospital and her class room college cour ses a t Weber College. Mother clipped the article from the news paper abo ut Gen iel graduating with high honors and mailed it to the high school p rincipl e with a note that said this is the little girl who went unnotice d in you r high school and was labeled as not scholarship material. She w as so pro ud of her and so was all the family. She was the first in our f amily to g raduate from college. Ted later graduated from the universit y of Utah.
Geniel met Charles Dee Jenson while visiting with her cousin Maurine Jen s on in Delta, Utah. They dated before his mission and were married Novem be r 11, 1930 after his mission. They moved to Fort Riley, Kansas when De e w as in the service in the army.
I lost contact with Geniel after my husband and I drove them to Fort Ril e y, Kansas on our way to visit my husbands family in Kentucky. Except f o r an occasional letter or short note I never had any contact with her a ga in. I learned of her death when my parents called me via cable when m y hu sband was stationed at Elmendorf, Alaska. They were reluctant to not ify m e of her death due to me expecting my first child in June. It wa s a grea t shock and concern for all of us.
Geniel was a beautiful person. She was very kind and considerate and alw a ys willing to help. others. She loved children and was a favorite baby- si tter for many families in her younger years. As a nurse she was outsta ndi ng. The hospital staff had nothing but praise for her ability to wor k wit h people and her sweet personality. She was quiet but very effectiv e to o in her association and understand of patients and fellow workers . Genie l was very good with her hands and crochet tiny edging around pil low case s as early as junior high age. She embroidered pillow cases an d dish towe ls by the dozens for her hope chest and wedding and Christma s gifts She s tarted a crochet bed spread in squares and had worked on i t for years. Mo ther encouraged her to attach the ones she had finished a nd use it fo r a beautiful table cloth.. However, Geniel was a determine d person and s aid, "just give me time, I will finish it!" I often wonde r if she did.

George H. W. Bush, as the 41st President (1989-1993), brought to the Whi t e House a dedication to traditional American values and a determinatio n t o direct them toward making the United States “a kinder and gentler n atio n” in the face of a dramatically changing world.
George Bush brought to the White House a dedication to traditional Ameri c an values and a determination to direct them toward making the United S ta tes “a kinder and gentler nation.” In his Inaugural Address he pledge d i n “a moment rich with promise” to use American strength as “a force f or g ood.”
Coming from a family with a tradition of public service, George Herber t W alker Bush felt the responsibility to make his contribution both in t im e of war and in peace. Born in Milton, Massachusetts, on June 12, 1924 , h e became a student leader at Phillips Academy in Andover. On his 18t h bir thday he enlisted in the armed forces. The youngest pilot in the Na vy whe n he received his wings, he flew 58 combat missions during World W ar II . On one mission over the Pacific as a torpedo bomber pilot he wa s shot d own by Japanese antiaircraft fire and was rescued from the wate r by a U . S. submarine. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross fo r braver y in action.
Bush next turned his energies toward completing his education and raisi n g a family. In January 1945 he married Barbara Pierce. They had six chi ld ren– George, Robin (who died as a child), John (known as Jeb), Neil, M arv in, and Dorothy.
At Yale University he excelled both in sports and in his studies; he w a s captain of the baseball team and a member of Phi Beta Kappa. After gr ad uation Bush embarked on a career in the oil industry of West Texas.
Like his father, Prescott Bush, who was elected a Senator from Connectic u t in 1952, George became interested in public service and politics. H e se rved two terms as a Representative to Congress from Texas. Twice h e ran u nsuccessfully for the Senate. Then he was appointed to a series o f high-l evel positions: Ambassador to the United Nations, Chairman of th e Republi can National Committee, Chief of the U. S. Liaison Office in th e People’ s Republic of China, and Director of the Central Intelligence A gency.
In 1980 Bush campaigned for the Republican nomination for President. H e l ost, but was chosen as a running mate by Ronald Reagan. As Vice Presi dent , Bush had responsibility in several domestic areas, including Feder al de regulation and anti-drug programs, and visited scores of foreign co untrie s. In 1988 Bush won the Republican nomination for President and, w ith Sen ator Dan Quayle of Indiana as his running mate, he defeated Massa chusett s Governor Michael Dukakis in the general election.
Bush faced a dramatically changing world, as the Cold War ended afte r 4 0 bitter years, the Communist empire broke up, and the Berlin Wall fe ll . The Soviet Union ceased to exist; and reformist President Mikhail Go rba chev, whom Bush had supported, resigned. While Bush hailed the marc h of d emocracy, he insisted on restraint in U. S. policy toward the grou p of ne w nations.
In other areas of foreign policy, President Bush sent American troops in t o Panama to overthrow the corrupt regime of General Manuel Noriega, wh o w as threatening the security of the canal and the Americans living the re . Noriega was brought to the United States for trial as a drug traffic ker .
Bush’s greatest test came when Iraqi President Saddam Hussein invaded Ku w ait, then threatened to move into Saudi Arabia. Vowing to free Kuwait , Bu sh rallied the United Nations, the U. S. people, and Congress and se nt 42 5,000 American troops. They were joined by 118,000 troops from alli ed nat ions. After weeks of air and missile bombardment, the 100-hour lan d battl e dubbed Desert Storm routed Iraq’s million-man army.
Despite unprecedented popularity from this military and diplomatic trium p h, Bush was unable to withstand discontent at home from a faltering eco no my, rising violence in inner cities, and continued high deficit spendi ng . In 1992 he lost his bid for reelection to Democrat William Clinton.

Gilbert de Venables, also referred to as Venator, Veneur, Hunter, was fr o m Venables, in the modern Department of Eure, near Rouen and Evreux i n Hi gh Normandy. The Barony of Le Veneurs was so named because they wer e here ditary huntsmen to the Dukes of Normandy .
On the death of Odo / Gudo,/ Gules or Theobald III, Count of Blois and C h artres, his eldest son Theobald / Stephen Henry inherited the title an d l ands. Gilbert had little hope of getting anything. At this time, afte r th e death of Mauger, the fief of Venables had no lord. Gilbert’s uncl e (? ) Roger of Blois, Bishop of Beauvais, whose chapter owned the platea u o f Madrie, gave Venables to Gilbert .
Gilbert, then aged about twenty, left Blois and followed the Loire Vall e y until it reached Chartres, of which his father was count, and the Eu r e Valley. Perhaps he was disappointed on reaching Venables, to find th a t his fief only comprised of the village, whilst the remaining lands st il l belonged to the chapter of Beauvais .
Evidence of his life may be seen in La Motelle .
Below the level ground of church and the village hall of Venables lie s a n impressive mound, overlooking the river cliffs of the Seine. Thoug h the re is no obvious moat and a section has been excavated from it give s ever y appearance of being a castle motte, similar to those in England , and th e possible home of the lord of Venables and therefore of Gilbert .
‘The whole of the centre of the village (probably from the road to the g u lly which is in the wood and from the church to the village hall) hold s t he remains which are an important part of the region’s history and th at o f the genesis of the present day village, and therefore should be pr otect ed, studied and brought to light. The motte called La Motelle was t he mai n element of the fortress, probably built in the eleventh century . Enclos ed by a moat, these fortifications included a more defensive ele ment: th e motte. The other element was the bailey in which most of the a ctivity w as centred (servants’ quarters, stores, etc). In Venables the r elativel y well preserved motte (with moats filled in and south-west sid e dug up) , because of its small size, seems only to have had a watch tow er, probab ly made of wood. The masonry which was discovered by the excav ation at th e beginning of this century could be part of a later modifica tion (constr uction of a stone donjon [keep] for example) or of an earlie r constructio n (making the motte by surrounding a building with earth) . The bailey goe s from the motte to the road; it is difficult to give th e exact dimension s because of the disappearance of the moat. However, i t is possible tha t the well, which can be seen there, is Medieval and wa s in the bailey. T he defensive system was strengthened by a double moat , perhaps borderin g a ravelin or a narrow courtyard to the north-west (t owards the wood). T he area of the castle seems to have been saved from c onstruction, excep t on the south-west side where the village hall stand s and towards the ro ad by the Presbytery (which must have replaced earli er buildings). It i s also possible that Venables was protected by a vill age wall.’

Gilbert’s serfs, bound to the soil, had neither civil nor financial free d om. They belonged to Gilbert whose land they cultivated and to whom th e y paid rent for the patch of land they cultivated around their hovel .
The continued frontier wars influenced life around the fiefdom of Venabl e s, which returned on the death of Robert II the Devil, then the Magnifi ce nt, Duke of Normandy from 1027-1035. Despite being enthroned by the Ar chb ishop of Rouen the cousins of William the Bastard, then aged seven, s eize d power, backed by the great lords.
Henry I of France invaded the duchy and besieged Evreux. Though the to w n resisted Henry ransacked the countryside. By the time he was twenty W il liam had been ruling over a duchy ravaged by continuous war. In 1047 G u y de Brionne, his cousin and friend, led a revolt which cause Willia m t o flee to Falaise and then to the court of Henry I of France. In Marc h, a t the battle of Val-les-Dunes, William was victorious and the ‘bloo d of t he felons turned the river Orne red as far as Caen’ .
Geoffrey Martel, Count of Anjou, invaded the Vexin region and the Sein e V alley of Normandy with a coalition of Gascons, Burgundians, Auvergant s, A ngevins and the royal army, taking Mantes and Evreux. In 1054, the w hol e of France had banded against the Normans. After a drunken orgy, th e Nor mans fell on their opponents without mercy .
Gilbert of Venables probably therefore spent more time waging war on t h e borders of Normandy than looking after his modest domain. Then when t h e Duke called for him, he joined the army at Varaville.
From 1057, William’s thoughts had been on England, whose throne he alleg e d to have a right being the cousin of Ethelred II. After the death of E dw ard the Confessor on 5 January 1066, Harold foreswore on his oath to W ill iam, his son-in-law. Determined to take the throne promised to him Wi llia m called on the regulars and retainers of the Norman nobility to hi s cam p at Varaville, with the promise of castles, farms, herds and eve n youn g Saxon girls.
At the beginning of August 25 000 men and 4 000 knights were ready to em b ark at Dives-sur-Mer, in 3 000 boats including 680 large sailing boats.
Finally, on 27 September 1066 the fleet set sail towards England to la n d in Pevensey Bay to meet and defeat, on 14 October 1066, Harold of Wes se x on Senlac Hill. On that autumn day ‘they walked on mutilated corpses , t hey stepped in streams of blood in which the fighters slipped and fel l. ’
After Duke William was crowned King of England on 25 December 1066 he sh a red with his captains, amongst who was Gilbert de Venables, his conques t . William did all he could to keep his Norman lords in England by shari n g the land in to 62 500 fiefs of 120 acres. The Domesday Book of 1087 s ho wed that Gilbert of Venables owned some important fiefs in Cheshire.
Engraved on the west nave wall of Dives church are 521 names of those al l eged to have sailed with William. Oger records that 'there were about t we nty five names of lords whose fief were within a radius of twenty fiv e ki lometres around Venables. This shows just the high percentage of loc al pe ople who took part in the English conquest: six lords of Toeni, [d e Tosny ] two lords of La Mare and of course Gilbert (of Venables). Mos t of the m settled in Great Britain.' (Oger 1977, p.344) They were:
Berenger de Toeni, Guillaume de Toeni, Ilbert de Toeni, Iuhel de Toeni , R aoul de Toeni and Robert de Toeni
Hugue de la Mare (I can identify only one La Mare on the Dives wall phot o graph).
The prosopographical1 work of Katherine SB Keats-Rohan, on 'Domesday Peo p le', records that Gislebert De Venables was:
'Norman, Domesday tenant of Earl Hugh. From Venables, Eure, canton of Ga i llon. A Malger de Venables attested a confirmation for Saint-Ouen of Ro ue n by Roger de Clères circa 1050/66 (Fauroux, 191 2) A second Gilbert a tte sted a charter of Warin de Vernon (Chester Charters, 160)' and list s a fu rther 62 Domesday names identified as having their origins in th e departm ent of Eure. Of these thirteen are from a close proximity to Ve nables plu s two from nearby Vernon. | de Venables, Gilbert (I172229)
