Faun Bronson's Funeral

Bruce with his Bronson 1st cousins, Russel, Linda, DeeAnn, Kenneth, Richard & Pat at the funeral of his mother's brother's wife, Faun Bronson who was buried in Huntsville.  Her husband Vern passed away in March of 2008 while we were in China, so we missed that funeral.  The first time I even knew that Bruce had living relatives on his mother's side of the family was at the funeral of Evelyn, his step-mom.  That is when I first met Vern & Faun Bronson.  Faun gave me photos and genealogy of the Bronsons.  She was a really sweet person and so friendly. Vern lived to be 95 years old and was still driving snowplow for Huntsville.
Grave of Bruce's great, grandmother, Elizabeth Fisher Bronson, the grave next to it is of her child, Margaret.

 

The grave of Bruce's great grandparents, Hulda & Charles Stromberg in Huntsville, Ut.

Sharissa, Trevor & Sara go Skiing

Ben and I took Sharissa, Trevor & Sara to Sundance to go skiing. They thought it was awesome.

 

 

Sundance is small but has the best scenic views.

January photos

I realized that I have not kept up with my blog. We went to lunch with my brother, Bud and Pam and Jan. He is doing better.

 

We enjoyed seeing Christina and the girls in Logan.

 

Andersen Family from Denmark

This photo is of the Hans Andersen family that sold everything and left Denmark to come to Utah. Ane (Annie) is the baby in their arms. She is my great grandmother. This was probably taken before they left Denmark.

 

They came from the Bredstup area on the large Island of Fyn. These are some of the photos from Denmark when we visited in 2007.

 

 

 

Pedersens & Olsens

Mette Maria Petersen's parents, Ane & Jens O. Petersen were on the Willie Handcart company in 1856.

 

 

Mette Maria Petersen was only a 10 year old girl when she came to Utah. The entire family survived the trek and settled in northern Utah. She is my great, great grandmother.

 

Metta Maria married James Olsen who also came from Denmark as a boy in 1850. They had 15 children.
