Grandchildren of Mary Ann by Her Daughter Martha Amelia Anderson

Martha Amelia Allred Anderson was married to prominent educator J. W. Anderson. His assignments as teacher began in Spring City, later they would go to Mt Pleasant where he assumed the responsibilities of Sanpete County Schools superintendent. He also served as juvenile judge for Sanpete and Sevier counties. Martha Amelia was active, with her husband in the services of their various wards. The children of this couple, all born in Sanpete County were:

Beulah Amelia A. Neill, born 14 Jan 1898 and passing away April 1971 at Holladay in Salt Lake County. She was married to Dr. Glenn G. Neill in 1918. He served as physician for Geneva Division of US Steel and Kennecott Copper. They were parents to Bessie Jeanne N. Richardson (1919-1987), Richard Glenn Neill (1925-2003), James William Neill (1927-). Beulah and Glenn both passed away in the Salt Lake City area, they are buried at Salt Lake City Cemetery.

James Clair Anderson, born 14 May 1900, married to Florence Dunn. His military registration identifies him as medium height, slender build, blue eyed and brown haired. He registered at Mt Pleasant, Utah. James and Florence had one son, James Dunn Anderson who was born in Ogden, Utah. I have not determined the dates of death for this couple. I have no further biographical information at this time.

Vernon Hazen Anderson, born 2 Jul 1903 and passed away 23 Apr 1964, husband first to Jasmine Gessel and then to Iva Belle Gribble, whom he married Aug 12, 1935 in Rock Springs, Wyoming. They were later divorced. In his obituary, published Deseret News & Telegram Saturday April 25, 1964, is listed one son, William and three grandchildren surviving him. Jasmine G. Lym passed away 1991, does not refer to a marriage with Vernon and Social Security Death Index has both wives passing away on the same date, 12 Jul 1991. Jasmine's obituary was found in the Deseret News.

Alton Boyd Anderson, 17 Jul 1905 to 20 May 1965, married to Afton Lydia Burrie in 1940 and later Carol Salisbury Buchannan in 1960, both marriages in the Salt Lake County Alphabetic Marriage Index. Alton's obituary ran in the Deseret News Thursday May 20, 1965, page B9. We learn he worked for the Utah State Tax Commission as a clerk in the Motor Vehicles Department. Alton passed away at home in Salt Lake City of natural causes. He had attended University of Utah, was a member of Sigma Pi and served as a priest in the LDS Church. He was survived by his wife Carol and his brothers and sisters. He rests in the Salt Lake City Cemetery.

Alma Owen Anderson, 18 Nov 1909 to 15 Oct 1987, listed in his obituary as A. Owen, husband to Charlotte L Wycherly. I find their marriage on 21 February 1941 in the Western States Marriage Record Index His obituary notes this marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake City LDS Temple. A. Owen and Charlotte operated Owen's Shoes in Holladay, Utah, where they were 'active in civic and community affairs'. They had one son, Michael Owen. Charlotte's obituary states she is survived by daughter-in-law Tamara Anderson and two granddaughters. Owen and Charlotte are interred at the Holladay Memorial Park.

Eva Maurine A. Buma, born 30 December 1913, wife of Henry Daniel Buma, marrying on 15 Apr 1938. Henry Buma passed away 9 June 1993 and Maurine, I believe on February 10, 1994. They were parents of six children: Henry Neil, Roger Brent, Sharon Maurine, Thomas Michael, Tracey Layne and Jeff. Henry's parents were both born in Holland. He held several positions with Utah Power & Light, was general manager of the Mayflower Cafe in Salt Lake. Active in civic and professional organizations, he and Maureen enjoyed traveling.

Mary Marjorie A. Snyder Foxe, born 14 January 1918 and passed away 8 March 1995 in Santa Clara,California. Her first husband Jesse Floyd Snyder passed away of natural causes at age 36 in Santa Monica, California 27 October 1953. There were no children of this union.
