Lola Jane Allred married John Franklin Justesen on November 13, 1895. Spring City farmer/rancher he also served as postmaster and as Spring City mayor.
Their first child, daughter Elizabeth Cleo was born 9 Aug 1896, the year Utah became a state. I have identified two husbands for Cleo: Claude Waltimer Burquist and Ernest Millerschoen. Both Cleo and Ernest passed away in California, I believe. Cleo had on child, Franklin Claude Burquist, born in Spring City in 1924 and passing away in California in 2011.
Edith Fern was the second child, born 25 Dec 1898. I find her with her husband William Frank Andersen. Her obituary ran in the Deseret News January 13, 1987, stating she died in a Salt Lake nursing home of natural causes. I find records with spellings of both "en" and "on" but find that Edith's daughter has a son whose middle name is spelled Andersen. I use this evidence for my spelling the family name with the "en". The number of Danish immigrants to Sanpete would also suggest this spelling is correct. Edith's only child, daughter Helen Dawn Andersen, survives her husband Robert Rue Hansen who passed away in 2008. She has three children which will be numbered with Mary Ann's great-grandchildren.
Sarah Maxine was born 25 Sep 1900 and died in a Salt Lake City hospital on 9 Dec 1964. I find various dates for both birth and death. An obituary ran in the Deseret News Friday, Dec. 10, 1965, page 10B. THis record tells us Sarah was an elementary School teacher as well as serving on the LDS Stake Sunday School Board. I have identified no children of Sarah's and husband Rulon Peter Peterson. Neither her obituary nor their headstones refer to any children. They are buried at Ehpraim Park Cemetery, Rulon having joined his wife in rest on April 27, 1989.
Mary Hazel, 1903 to 1985, Her husband Clinton S. "Brick" Robison, 1903-1990, was born in Pleasant Grove, Utah County but grew up i Bingham Canyon. He was a butcher and grocer. He served also on the Bingham Canyon Volunteer Fire Department. They had three children: Mary Sue who died at two years of age, Clinton J and Samuel P.
Inez Ophelia, 1904 to 1990 and her husband, Lyman Sheldon Monsen of Mt Pleasant were parents to three sons, J Sheldon, Stephen B and John P. and I have identified 17 grandchildren.
John Evans the only son of Lola and John Franklin was born8 Jul 1908. He had been hauling livestock in Pigeon Hallow in Sanpete county when the truck overturned, crushing him and assigning him the statistic of first auto death of 1938.

ReplyDeleteI want to note the passing of Helen Dawn Andersen Hansen on Saturday, August 16 in Salt Lake City. I was visiting her room at the Wm. E. Christoffersen Salt Lake Veterans Home and saw that she had a genealogical chart showing her lineage back to the Kings of the Franks. A name a few generations back from her own name caught my attention: Lola Jane Allred Justesen. "I know that name!" I cannot recall the date of that visit, but have enjoyed many activities with Helen at the Veterans Home (where I work in the recreation department) and have gotten to meet her children. Helen enjoyed recalling bits of her own history, even while she might have experienced losses in relating much more. I has been my own good fortune to be blessed with knowing her. An obituary is expected sometime during the week.
