Allred children

Lola Jane Allred Justesen (6 Jan 1873 to 26 Jan 1950) and husband John Franklin Justesen (18 Oct 1870 to 25 Mar 1946) lived their lives anad raised their 8 children in Spring City. John was a farmer. This simple, short sentence can never say it all; at the same time says so much! Farming. While her death certificate says Lola had no usual occupation we can learn from the term- farmer- on his, that she was a partner in a 24/7 venture.
Their children: Elizabeth Cleo (1896-1961), Edith Fern (1898-1987), Sarah Maxine (1901-1965), Mary Hazel (1903-1985), Inez Ophelia (1904-1990), John Evans (1908-1938), Cora Virginia (b 1911) and Lola Wnona (1913-2005).

Joseph Delos Allred, born 1 Dec 1874 passed away aged 25 on 29 Apr 1899. He left a widow, Letitia Beckstrom, also a Spring City native and son, Stephen Terrance Allred (1898-1982).

Martha Amelia Allred (29 Jun 1877-1 Dec 1963) married Sanpete County boy James William Anderson. With their family they eventually settled in Salt Lake City where James was a teacher. James passed away with coronary thrombosis at age 70, in 1945. They were married in Manti 2 Apr 1897. Both are buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery.
Their children: Beulah Amelia Anderson Neill (1898-1971), James Clair Anderson (1900-), Vernon Hazen Anderson (1903-1964), Alton Boyd Anderson (1905-1965), Alma Owen Anderson (1909-1987), Eva Maurine Anderson Buma (1913-), and Mary Marjorie Anderson (Snyder) Foxe (1918-).

John Arthur Allred, 1881 to 1971 married first Eva Clyde Larsen and together they were survived by one child, Elva Ramola (1913-1982) who married James Rogers Fechser. John later married Margaret Ruth Henderson.

These are short, an indication of how information is available today. Many records remain confidential for various lengths of time: Utah death certificates -50 years, US Federal Census- 75 years, etc. I feel motivated to continue to research to assemble my Pollard family story, but I do not feel I need to be the "only" worker in this. Your research, your sharing of your immediate family stories- with all of this we will leave a mark for the imergent portrait of the Bishop's daughters.
