Grandchildren: Boud

Elizabeth Pollard and John Wallace Boud had eight children. This family was struck with the loss of infant or child numerous times, which surely was a heartache for parents, siblings and grandparents. The eldest was John William, born 1880 and the youngest Wallace Pollard, born 1896. Joseph Edwin made it three sons with five sisters: Florence, Elizabeth, Rebecca, Ella, and Hazel.

John William Boud, 1 Jun 1880 - 22 Apr 1964 married Nellie Jeremy, 4 Oct 1879 - 25 Mar 1954 in Salt Lake City on 26 Jan 1905. Their children: Dorothy Agnes B. Burton, John William Boud Jr, Barbara Nelly B. Erickson. Two children also died in infancy.
John was highlighted in Utah Since Statehood published 1919 in SLC, editor Noble Warrum (FHL us/can 979.2 H2wn) in volume 4, p490. Here we are told that he graduated from Salt Lake High School and won his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Utah.
He served an LDS mission in Germany for two years and followed that with work for the International Harvester Company which took him throughout Europe. When he returned to Salt Lake he became involved in banking as a teller for Walker Brothers Bank and later for Nephi National Bank. He was a member of the American Bankers Association. From 1928 to 1940 John William Boud was vice-president of the Utah Woolen Mills. His obituary, published Friday April 24, 1964 on pB9, tells us that he was active in the LDS Church, serving in various ward and stake positions of responsibility.
John W and Nelly J Boud are buried at Salt Lake City Cemetery.

Florence Boud Butterworth, 29 Jan 1882 - 8 Aug 1953, and husband Edwin Fielding Butterworth, 15 May 1880 - 13 Jan 1962, wed in the Salt Lake Temple on 18 May 1904. Edwin grew up on Butterworth Court in the 15th Ward. He served as chorister there. They were parents of 5 children, only the youngest not surviving to adulthood. Maxine Alice Butterworth lived only four days after birth in 1918. Her siblings: Wallace Edmund, Florence, Ruth, and Edwin J. A very nice account of this family can be found in CALL BACK YESTERDAY by Edwin and Dorothy Leetham Butterworth.

Joseph Edwin Boud, 27 Mar 1884 - 12 Jan 1976 had as his bride Irene Delaney, 24 Jan 1890 - 21 May 1986. Married in 1912, they had no children.

Rebecca Boud and husband Clarence Eugene Jones were acquainted in the 15th Ward and married 21 Jun 1916. It seems they remained active in that community both with church assignments and socially. Clarence was a purchasing agent for LDS Hospital. I find no record of children. Rebecca lived 6 Mar 1887 to 2 Jun 1947 and died of cerebral hemorrhage enroute to the hospital; Clarence: 18 Jul 1888 to 26 Oct 1948, died of cancer. They are buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery, near to her siblings and parents.

Ella Boud Watson (30 Nov 1888-25 May 1977)and husband Henry Watson (10 Sep 1884-6 Oct 1974) were parents to six children including twins Kenneth Watson and Kathryn W. (Swenson) Johnson, Henry B. Watson, Maurine W. Yose, Helen W. Hart, and Elizabeth W. Yates. Kenneth died at age 12 in 1938.
