My mother's childhood may not have been a happy one. As we grew up, few stories were told about those years of her life. Tbe photographs that I have seen from her childhood seldom showed her with a smile, although she did appear healthy and well kept The nature of these photographs did seem to confirm that she was loved, but maybe not as much as she needed. Gram remarried twice, but neither arrangement provided a stable situation for the children. Gram's second marriage probably most affected her, for better or worse. Researching the Polk Directories for the 1930's and 194C, It was discovered that her mom and siblings seem to have been at a different address every year until the War Years. Late In 2004, Elaine recalled that the marriage to Munz was Indeed a volatile one and she mentioned that Allen Herman Munz was abusive towards their mother. At one point [Elaine recalled during a conversion late 2004], after an agrument, Munz totally boarding up their house near 500 East and 300 South. For a time. Gram and the kids had to find refuge with one of her sisters. The police had to be brought Into the picture, for them to retum to their own home. After moving a few more times around the valley, the family eventually moved out of San Gabriel and settled in a modest house in Wilmington (now Carson) in 1958. We lived here for nearly four years, during which time the youngest reached school age. With the all kids now In school. Mom began working as a machine operator for Kaiser Aluminum. A Job she continued at until shortly after the family moved to a new house In Artesia In 1962 (an area eventually absorbed into the community of Lakewood). Her kids ranged In agefromseven to sixteen at the time of this move to Artesia. All five of us were at home until shortly after the move, at which time a dispute over the handling of Jack (the oldest) divided my parents. Jack was eventually sent to live with Gram. As with so many other events that challenged and clouded her life, the truth died with my mother.

_M*tw*i_u___wI G. KartDhnar (2t_-M)5_S)

My father began his twenty-year career at the United States Naval Shipyard in Long Beach about the time of the move to the Artesia house. The combination of his new position and the responsibilities of setting up the "new" house, allowed (forced?) my mother to retum to the home during the first few years. Occasionally taking in laundry and ironing to earn some discretionary cash. My Mom kept a neat, comfortable home (to describe the style of furnishings, contemporary comes to mind), but was not overly committed tbat It should be "Immaculate". She expected us to do our chores, keep our room orderly and take care of our things, but for the most part she allowed us to be "kids". She loved to surround the house and yard with wild rose bushes, along with any other flowers that would grow with least fuss. But, I cannot remember her spending much of time tending the garden. My Mom was proficient on a sewing machine (allowing her to make repairs and adjustments to our clothes) and attempted to teach It to both Linda and Patrida. As a cook, I remember that Mom did "wonders" with what we had (Michael recalls that she referred to her cooking style as "Poorman's Cooking"), even If she may not have had 'a real joy' for either cooking or baking. Her meat loaf, 'chili 81 cornbread' and 'chicken & dumplings' were great. Her 'Baked' rice pudding, bread pudding and banana bread were superior to anything that I have come across since. She also had a most unusual recipe for fruit salad (with a com starch based juice dressing), a style I have not found anywhere else. She was definitely a "Down Home" cook, but she was not afraid to try new and different things - she did acquire several popular cook books of the time. Similarly, she welcomed many of the newest kitchen gadgets, such things as the "Croc Pot" and the Microwave Oven (My father bought her one of the very first counter-top models. Despite the limitations of the early versions. Mom wasted little time leaming the best ways to use It). Someone once said, "time filters our memories toward only the positive". As with all families, we all did things that angered her, but she was slow to show her temper. Most often, after a brief outburst, she would remove herself from the situation to calm down, either locking herself In her room or by going out for a drive. I remember that often she and myfetherhad some very 'heated' arguments. Seldom did she display the same level of "fire" to any of her kids. My most vivid memory of her temper was sometime during my early teen years, the cause long forgotten. She became so angry that she threw an 'allegedly unbreakable' plate against a wall and shattering it, after which sheretreatedto her room. Similarly, I cannot recall that she ever 'spanked' any of us. (This was not so with my father. Even over my Mom's attempts to stop him, It sometimes seemed that he was quick to pull his belt, with Michael receiving the brunt of his discipline.). We grew up knowing that we had a strong heritage in the Mormon Church on both sides of the family. My Mom occasionally welcomed the Home Teacher visits - but she (they) never forced any of us to accept that church or any other. As a family, we did not participate In any of the 'meetings' associated with the Mormon Church, nor do I recall ever going to diurth Sunday. However, she was pleased when each of us sought some Instruction on our own, began attending church and received baptism as Mormons. (In retrospect, I think the kids accepted the church to please our patemal grandmother, who was very much a devotee.)m

Nor was politics atopicthat came up around the dinner table very often. We would talk about current events, but I do not recall either of my parents stating a specific political preference. I do not believe that she (or our father) ever voting In a single election. I t i w H A M i l l fufctII mG. Kartchner (2004-05-15)

During our childhood, my Mom continually strived to give and do all that she could for us - at times CN& the objections of our father. When one of us had an opportunity to join in a school or community event, she did whatever necessary to make sure that that child would not be left out. Again Michael recalls:"... not long after we moved to Artesia, I was In the Sixth Grade, and the time for the school camp came, dad said that there was no way we could afford it, but Mom told me not to worry that she wouldfinda way to allow me to go, and somehow she made it happen". So resolute my mother wastomake sure that her children would have it better than she did as a child, when the "Credit Card" became common and easy to get - she became an early victim to the convenience. Soon, the family found Itself in debt - generating a new level of friction between my parents. It forced her back Into the "full time" work force. During the 1960s, she joined Gram working for the Kress Department Store at Rossmoor. After her treatment for breast cancer, she found employment at the Woolworth's at the newly built Cerrltos Center. (Both store chains have long been out of business.) Her kids seem to have contrasting memories of the holidays. My memories suggest that Mom really enjoyed and lookedforwardtothe holidays every year (going all outforeach). Michael believes that she would use these events as justification for all the things that she wanted for us, or as expression of her love for us. When she worked, she could either make purchases on her own or set aside funds that were outside the control of my father:i

Easter - Always included a new set of "GOOD" clothes and a special breakfast at IHOP. 1 Halloween - When we all went out Trick or Treating', our costumes were often of tiie same theme. She made sure that we always finished our (traditional) pot pies and hot apple cinder before we could go out for the night. Memorial and Labor Day - We always joined with one or both of her siblings for a picnic and so that the fathers could watch the car races. Thanksgiving - Was the traditional, near "Rockwell" In menu and setting. And was limited to the family. Christmas - She definitely went all out. Often combined with the celebration of Gram's birthday, which was on 24 December. As we entered our teens, we tended to have a small celebration on Christmas Eve,forwhich we could Invite a friend. The only exception from the traditional Christmas trappings, was the use of an artificial tree. My mother could not be In the same room with a real Christmas tree for very long without becoming ill. So we had an aluminum tree - always trimmed with bright red bulbs and highlighted with a "Color Wheel". Another one of her favorite places was Las Vegas. She and my father went there In celebration of their wedding anniversary In March and many times It was her present to herself when her birthday came around in October. (Another, of the few pleasures that she allowed herself, was a trip to the hair salon) She like to gamble and to see the shows. Plus, the "glamorous" setting would again allow her to escape. It was their place, the only time the kids would be along would be if we stopped there during one of the trips we made to visit relatives still In Utah. But I doremember,once, after we got older, they took us along - 1 remember late night swims In the motel pool and spending hours roaming the strip..."people watching".

Guidelines for Reading and Understanding the Individual SummariesThe breadth of this endeavor was to unearth the direct lineage between my generation and the contributing progenitors. A Summary Sheet amassed for each individual. Ordered generationatly, going back to at least the third or fourth Pedigree Level - as harvested from volumes and "bits" of material discovered. There is a degree redundancy, due to an aspiration to make each Record as extensive as possible; to allow someone to evaluate each Summary without having to flip to that of his or her mates or parents. Unless specified to the contrary, all baptism information is within the framework of the LDS Church. All other religious events will be noted under Other Information. Census information is released 72 years after the Census Year. Census listings will be for only those in which are available. Much of 1890 Census was destroyed in a fire at the Commerce Department in the 1920's. The scheduling of census taking varied since they began, 1850 was done early in 1851 those that followed were done in different months. Beginning with the 1900 census, it seems as if it alternates between January and April. As a result, ages may vary by a year in either direction The gauge of information collected during each census has increased. From 1790-1840, only the Head of Household was recorded, all others simply counted within age categories. Beginning with the 1850 Census, the names of the wife and children were recorded. Each subsequent census included more categories in the effort to get a better picture of the trends and patterns of the growing population of the United States. Due to writing styles; errors in spelling of both given and surnames; and/or poor condition of individual census sheets, attempts to index them 72 years after [and various efforts over the years] would result in either the complete exclusion of names or mistranscription of many. This has been true In more than a half dozen census searches. Major portions of the Army Military records from 1912 through 1959 - stored at the National Records Center in Saint Louis, MO - were destroyed in a fire 12 July 1973. Military references made were discovered and verified from alternate sources available to the National Center as well as that in the Utah State Archives in Salt Lake City, UT. The management of personal records [birth, death, marriage, etc] varied from state to state. By 1907, most states, cities and counties were required by law to maintain records for all personal events. Many states archive county records - generally, those records for the year 50 years prior to the current year [l.e. in 2003, all records for 1953 were sent for archiving]. The search for employment records was extremely limited. Except for those who had employment with some agencies of the Federal Government - which proved to be revealing and helpful in discovering or confirming addresses and education. After the events of 11 September 2001, many govemment agencies at the federal, state and local levels passed laws to make it more difficult to acquire personal records. There after many states required the submission of copies of state issued photo ID cards and a declaration of need for the document requested. If more than one last known address is noted, the addresses will begin at the death, so on.

Advisory and Disclaimer

Following are the Individual Summaries for those in the pedigree that could be documented. Most of which have been limited to their experiences in the growing United States. On the Maternal side, unfortunately, documentation could only be found going back to the Great Great Grandparents, with the exception of George/Lucy Cox and Joseph/Alice Crowton. On the Patemal side, records have been more fruitful. With the exception of the Blythe Family, Family Records can be taken back to the various Great Great Great-Grandparents. The information presented can be viewed as accurate, at least as accurate as can be possible since some information is from second hand sources: Census Records Birth Certificates Marriage Records Death Certificates Published Obituaries Government Records These records tend to be pretty reliable, but it must be remembered the errors occurred at the time the records were completed and errors could have occurred in the interpretation of the information that these sources provide. Unfortunately, a great deal of the infonnation that could have truly fleshed out these glimpses were not readily available since that from thefemaleside of each family tended to be discounted as lacking in importance and thus Lost Researched from 1 January 2003 - 1 January 2006 Seattle, Washington & Salt Lake City, Utah

Fifth So, living with [aunt] Rachel Foster [T626-2419/Pg:104/Line: 7] Never really knowing her father and growing up during the marriage of her mother to Allen Herman Munz - her early years seem to have been volatile. Researching the Polk Directories for the 1930's and 1940', it was discovered that her mom and siblings seem to have been at a different address every year until the War Years. Her experiences during the Depression and the War years seems to typical for a girl of her age, but sadly, as with her sister Elaine, she never finished her education. Aug 1943: based on an application for a "Delayed Certificate of Birth" filed by her mother, an address of 467 South 300 East SLC was listed. Oct 1947: at the time of Linda Elaine's birth, she resided @ 212 South 13th West, SLC. (Based on verbal accounts, this was an address used by the family due to its stability - being first the last home of her maternal grandparents, later an aunt. So her actual residence may have been elsewhere in SLC.) Her workplace history includes: Kaiser Alunimum, Kress Dept Store, Woolworth's.

Alice Lauretta Smith [1907-1989]19 Oct 2005 Notes (Continued) Birth : Apparently her birth was not registered. She applied for a "Delayed Certificate of Birth" [Utah Board of Health Certificate # 11064], filed 25 Aug 1943 in Salt Lake City. Alice S. Munz at the time, she listed an address of 467 South 300 East and used a small notebook of family history, the 1928 Birth Certificate of Dona Viola and an notarized affidavit from her sister [Rachel Hilton] as support of her identity. Census: 1910 Salt Lake City, UT, 3 yrs @ Arapahoe St and 1400 West [2nd Ward], [T624-1606/ED: 111/Pg: 44/Line: 38] 1920 Salt Lake City UT, 12 yrs @ 658 South West Temple, [T625-1866/ED:125/Pg: 160/Line: 29] 1930 Salt Lake City UT, 22 yrs @ 353 W. Fifth So, renting room ($6) from brother Walter E. Smith [T626-2419/Pg: 103/Line: 92] Alice's first child, June, was put up for adoption. The Sumame of her adoptive family was Harvey. Her married name would become Steenbock.

Page 2

Based on notations in the Polk City Directories for Salt Lake City, for at least two years after Frank C Welsh and Alice separated, Alice L. (Smith) worked as a seamstress for the Work Progress Administration. Alice S. Welch married and divorced Allen Munz twice. First ceremony witnessed by Rena B. Loomis & _ C. Westwood, conducted by John A Harter, Bishop (LDS?). Her daughter, Elaine, recalled that despite the overall 18 year marriage to Munz, that he tended to be abusive to their mother. At one point, after an agrument, Munz totally boarded up their house near 500 East and 300 South [near today's City Library]. For a time, Alice and the kids had to fmd refuge with one of her sisters. The police had to be brought into the picture, for them to return to their own home. The would divorce for the second time in 1954. Marriage Certificate: #23444 [Elko, NV District Court file #5931] Alice Lauretta Munz married William David Charles witnessed by Albert H. & Aleata V. World, joined by Taylor H. Wines, District Judge. [Address @ time - 603 North 2nd West, SLC, UT]. Divorced him 21 Jan 1958 [finalized 6 Feb 1959] in Los Angeles, CA - Final Judgement #D527 663. During her marriage to William Charles, it appears that they travelled extensively. William Charles was a "Sport Fisherman" often having Alice with him, which she seems not to have enjoyed. Vital Stats: Based on a US Sixth Army Civilian Employee ID Card [issued 23 Mar 1951] noted that she was working under the name "Alice L. Welsh" as a Maintenance Laborer in the Artillery Section of the Tooele Ordinace Depot, Tooele, Utah. Based on NARA Form 13037: She worked for the government twice during the 1940's and 1950s. The first time was for two months during the summer of [1 May - 2 July] 1943 as a "Laundry Flat Work Ironer - Grade 2" @ .62/hr for the War Department in Salt Lake City. The second period was between 15 March 1951 to 12 June 1953 [height of the Korean Conflict] for the Department of the Army, Tooele, Utah. Hired as a "Maintenance Laborer, WB3" @ $1.14/hr moving to "Artillery Repairer, WB5" @ $ 1,75/hr - services terminated by "Reduction in Force". (Based on an Verbal Accounting, she may have left the first government service to clean troop trains during the remainder of Second World War.) Children :--AII born in Salt Lake City With Unknown: June C. [Steenbock] 25 Nov 1924-17 Dec 1999 With Frank Welsh: Dona Viola [Kartchner] 02 Oct 1928-07 Feb 1975 ; Wilma Elaine [Lane/Johnson] 19 Jun 1930-; & Donald Frank 01 Nov 1931Her "In Remembrance" card, indicated that her remains were removed and prepared by Larkin Mortuary Company, Salt Lake City.

Frank Carter Welsh [1898-1963]19 Oct 2005 Page 2

Notes (Continued)Contributing to Death : Bronchopneumonia - complicated by Silicosis Birth : No formal record was filed at the time of Frank's birth. "Record of Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints / Record of Member's Children" [LDS FHL Microfilm 25864 - entry 1068] Frank [no middle initial] was baptized and blessed 9 September 1909, but these membership/baptism records confirm that he was born 27 November 1898 in Coalville. An article from the "Park Record" newspaper dated 24 March 1916 described a party given for the just married Sarah (Sadie) Welsh to William Swainston prior to her joining her husband at Ruth, Nevada. At the very end of the article, it also reported that "Mrs. Frank Welsh" was also there. This could not have been Alice L. Smith, she would have been 9. Checking the "Record of Marriage Licenses for Summit County" between 1914-1916, did not provide any information about this possible first marriage of Frank Welsh. Such a marriage may have been conducted in another county of Utah or even in Wyoming. A photograph found in the files of Alice, revealed that Frank was either in the Army or with the Utah National Guard at the time he and Alice met - holding the rank of Corporal. A search of the Cole City Directories of the 1920's did show a Frank C. Welsh living at Fort Douglas, but these entries were not clear as to his duties or assignment. Based on the Divorce papers filed by Frank Welsh, in Cody, Park Co., WY; Alice and Frank were married 6 Jul 1925 at Salt Lake City, UT. Their marriage was dissolved 27 February 1936. And that he had been a resident of Wyoming for at least one year prior to his filing for divorce. When Frank Welsh filed and was granted a divorce from Alice L. Smith while in Park County, Wyoming in 1936 - it is possible that he was visiting or staying with/near his sister Lillian Young (Mrs. John Henry Young). SSDI records revealed that she lived in that county at one time.4

There was one other marriage. Based on a letter from his sister Ethel to Alice [discovered late in 2004], his second wife left him at least 10 years prior to his death. Census: 1900 Coalville, UT, 1 yrs [T623-1686/Pg: Ill/Line: 83] 1910 Coalville, UT, 11 yrs [T624-1608/Pg: 134/Line: 59] 1920 Not found in Coalville - possibly in Wyoming or in military service. 1930 Not found in Coalville - possibly in Bingham Canyon, UT Apparently, Frank fell upon hard times and spent time on the streets of Seattle during the early 1950's. During a hospital stay - recovering from a "beating", Frank suffered a stroke - leading to hospitalization. Under the care of Joy R. Jaffe M.D. Sedro Woolley, WA.. Spend approximately the last ten years of his life at the Northern State Mental Hospital, near Sedro Woolley, Skagit Co., Wa. Death certificate also indicates that he was in other care facilities in Washington State during the early 1950's - the King County Hospital - possibly Harborview. Except for Harborview, the others are no longer operating. Death Certificate: #11096, Washington State Dept. of Health [filed 5 Jun 1963] revealed the causes of death noted above and indicated that his remains were removed and cremated by Bonney-Watson Funneral Home, Seattle on 31 May 1963. [NSH Hospital -listed as informant]. As noted above, his cremated remains were interned in the Rock Springs Cemetery in the Mountain View half and his plot [Block 401 Lot 5 Grave 1] is located in the northwest part of Mayor J. B. Young section of Mountain View. This plot was owned by the family of his sister, Ethel Sawley. Last known addresses : Northern State Hospital, Sedro Woolley, WA [closed 1973] / McNeils Nursing Home, 12015 15th NE, Seattle, WA [closed N/A] / possibly Harborview Hospital, Seattle.

An entry in the "Kartchner Family Book" [compiled by Sarah Palmer Collinwood, LDS FHL 929.273 K149c], details that Alvin developed a severe case of arthritis, This eventually forced him to shut down his own blacksmith shop in Lewiston about 1949. He moved [1949-1950] his family to Ogden, Weber Co., so that LuRea could find work. Listed in the Ogden City Polk Directories irregularly between 1951-1990. His blacksmith skills were noted in "A History of Lewiston" [compiled by Dr. J.M. Bernttisel, pg 70, LDS FHL 979.212/L2 H2b] quoted as written, but it may be that the author had confused him for his father's effort. "Aron Kartchener, the Third Ward blacksmith has operated a shop for about twenty-five years at the same stand. This time has been well taken up by the people of the ward, who loyally support him. For the last few years, his health has been poor and he has been forced to be absent from his shop. Much of the time at the present time, the shop is closed whie he spends much of his time in Ogden under the doctor's care." This book also has all four of his older sons listed on a Honor Roll of World War II Veterans. [IBID, pg 199] In addition to his own blacksmith shop; Alvin, worked in the metal shops of the Railroad [Union Pacific?], did some farm work and spent two years in the shops of Brigham Cooper. Children : Alvin H. 1917-2004, Rubin S. 1918-1918, Richard W. 1919-2004, Delmar I. 1921-2002, Kenneth A. 1923-1995, Erma K. 1924-1924, Arill L. 1926-1926, Nolan J. 1928- , Joan 1930-1930, Carol 1934-2001. Five of their children are buried in the same lot as Alvin and LuRea - four that died shortly after birth at the foot of their joint grave marker: Rubin S., Erma K., Arill L. and Joan. Their last born child, Carol is buried right next to them - her stone (possibly Plot: 55/1/W/3] indicates that she died in 2001 [her internment is listed as Carol Sharp Kartchner]. Death Certificate # 143-76-000294, Utah State Division of Health [filed 29 Jan 1976] revealed the causes of death and indicated that his remains were removed and prepared by Linguist & Sons Mortuary, Ogden, UT on 31 Jan 1976.
