"Ellen Garner was born 15 January 1885, in Ogden, Utah, the daughter of Phillip and Mary Ann Garner. She lived all her young life in Ogden. Her first job was with the W. H. Wright and Sons Department Store where she had some very fine experiences.
After Ellen and Norman were married they lived in Ogden a little more than a year then in the spring and summer of 1910, they built a home in Riverdale just west of Norman's mother and spent many happy days there and the children enjoyed being close to their Grandma Bingham.
They spent most of their married life in Riverdale and Ogden where Norman followed several lines of occupation other than farming, such as: Telephone Company employee, teller at Ogden State Bank, buying, feeding and selling cattle, buying and selling horses for the Army during World War I, Treasurer of Weber County School Board for six years, some Real Estate business, worked for the Government at Utah General Depot in Ogden in the Auditing Department and as agent for the Beneficial Life Insurance Co., which business he followed so long as he was able to work.
He worked in all the auxiliary organizations of the church, serving diligently and faithfully as Sunday School teacher, Stake Religion Class Board Member, and Home Missionary in Riverdale, Weber Stake. He also served as counselor to Bishop Murray K. Jacobs in the Riverdale Ward, Ward Teacher, Counselor in the Presidency of the High Priest Group and two years as President of the High Priest Group. His last assignment was Chairman of the Genealogical Committee of the 23rd Ward in the Mount Ogden Stake.
His wife, Ellen, also served faithfully in the different auxiliaries of the church. She was a wonderful companion to her husband and a devoted mother to her children. Norman and Ellen were real sweet-hearts all their married lives and stood faithfully together side by side through all the joys and sorrows of their married life. They just lacked one day of having been married 56 years when Norman passed away of a heart ailment on 19 January 1965, after a month's illness.
At this writing (June 1966) Ellen still lives at their home at 1063 28th Street, Ogden, Utah."

Speaking of Norman . . . "He lived all his youth in Riverdale, going to school, attending to his church duties and in general living a good wholesome life. He was a good-natured, happy fellow and loved by all who knew him. He served in the Deacon's Quorum Presidency and when he was ordained a Teacher he served as a Ward Teacher. At the age of 16, he was called to serve as a Sunday School teacher.
After finishing elementary school, he attended the Weber Stake Academy. David O. McKay was President of the institution at this time and Norman said "I am very grateful for his leadership through those wonderful school years. " A highlight in his life was that President McKay was his teacher of the New Testament and what an inspiration he was.
In October 1906, he left to fill a mission to the Eastern States returning in 1908.
On 20 January 1909, he married Ellen Gamer in the Salt Lake Temple and to this union were born six children, 4 sons and 2 daughters."

Stephen Robert WELLS
(Written by Anita Cramer Wells)
Stephen was raised and well-educated
in England, the second of seven children and twin to sister Isabella,
who died as a child. He had roots in the servant class, his father was a
stonemason, and his maternal ancestry connects back with Isaac Newton and Francis Bacon.
His mother used to say, “Study hard so you’ll grow up to be as smart as
Uncle Isaac!” Even further back, his genealogy line connects in with
the Merovingian dynasty in France and King Clovis. Stephen was always a
fine English gentleman.
Stephen embraced the gospel in
London, along with his mother and siblings. He is listed as a salesman
in the Paddington Branch emigration records. However, only he left, of
his family, to gather with the Saints. Stephen married fellow British
convert Mary Ann (Lowe) en route, and they settled first in Big Cottonwood and
then Spanish Fork in 1853, where their three children were born. During
this time he married Mary Ann’s cousin Annie (Thorn),
also a British convert, as a plural wife. Stephen served as a bishop in
Spanish Fork. Interestingly, Mary had no more children after Stephen
took a second wife, although that could be due to advanced maternal age.
Stephen was an excellent
blacksmith, and he could make nearly perfect wagon wheel rims. After he
fashioned the hub and wooden spokes, he would pound out the circular
metal rim and fit it over the wheel while it was still very hot, then
immerse the wheel in water. The sudden cooling of the hot metal caused
it to shrink around the wheel. The family was called in 1861 to settle
Dixie and raise cotton. Soon after arriving, Stephen donated thirty
dollars to build the Tabernacle, even though he did not yet have a roof
over his own head.
Stephen farmed in St. George,
and built a two-story adobe home at 1st South and 3rd West. After
Stephen came to Utah, he continued to write letters home to England, but
there may have been a rift in the family (Elder Robert E. Wells
speculated due to polygamy), because when the Wellses did temple work in
St. George for others, they neglected to do it for their English family
members. Instead, they were sealed into the family of Erastus Snow.
Stephen served as the first
counselor in the St. George 2nd Ward. He was a popular entertainer
(doing what?). His son Samuel became quite prominent, and his daughter
Ann Eliza became the plural wife of J.D.T. McAllister and accompanied
him as president of the Manti Temple. Stephen and Annie worked together
in the St. George Temple and were remembered as being always faithful
and efficient.
Stephen wrote a letter to his teenage son Saint George,
“When I think of the many duties of life that there is to do, I find
that the boy or girl who begins the soonest makes the best man or woman.
Therefore mix up with play and work some reading, spelling, writing,
and then some music which will make your company always agreeable go
where you may. You must labour with your hands and heads, sometimes with
one at the time and sometimes with both at the same time.” His letter
is interesting as it was “cross-written”: to conserve space, after he
wrote one page, he turned the paper ninety degrees and continued to
write across the other direction.
As the result of a buggy
accident while driving home from Cedar City, Stephen was injured and
died in the arms of his son Saint George. He is our earliest patrilineal
(direct male line) ancestor to join the Church and has a number of
namesake descendants.

This same source also makes the following comments about this line:
"Our same ancestor Sarah Newton Wells who is related to Isaac Newton is also related to Sir Francis Bacon, through her mother Sarah Bacon Newton. Both of these men died without heirs, leaving only distant relatives to remember them."
"Shout out today to Wells relative
Isaac Newton. He was actually born on Christmas day 1642, but with
calendrical changes the date became January 4, 1643. Sir Isaac
was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural
philosopher, alchemist, and theologian who is considered by many to be
one of the most influential scientists in history.
He died childless and I don't
know if he'd claim us as relatives, but Gawain’s great-grandfather
Stephen Robert Wells and his siblings were frequently told by their
mother, Sarah Newton Wells (Isaac Newton’s
great-something-grand-niece)—“Study hard so you can grow up to be as
smart as Uncle Isaac!”"
Personal note: I found this information as I worked on my husband's family line. Richard Golightly (who is my GGG Grandfather) married Jane Thorne as his 4th wife. Jane's illegitimate daughter, Annie Thorn was the 2nd wife of Trent's GGG Grandfather, Stephen Robert Wells. Trent's line comes through Mary Ann Lowe, the 1st wife of Stephen Robert Wells. But interesting anyway as I see our lines converge.

Adolphus Rennie WHITEHEAD
Clara C. Whitehead Kimball (sister), Adolphus Rennie Whitehead Sr., Elizabeth Jane Jarrold (mother).
On crossing the plains:
Elizabeth Jane Jarrold Whitehead, 45, brough her 4 children across the plains with the Milo Andrus Company in 1855. Son Adolphus was 13. For some reason husband, Francis stayed in England, but died in 1862 – this date must be a mistake because she is listed as a “widow with four children” on the Milo Andrus Company records.
Mary Ann LOWE
This photo is labeled as Stephen Robert Wells family. One source indicates that Annie Thorne is on the left and Mary Ann Lowe is on the right. Saint George is the child in front and Ann Eliza in back. Some sources have Mary Ann on the left.
Mary Ann LOWE [or Annie THORNE??]

Annie's family identifies both pictures as Annie, but I'm not sure. I think that the top photo could be Mary Ann. The eyes are different. What do you think?

Winifred (Winnie) WHITEHEAD was my husband's Great Grandmother (mother of Winston Hickman).
2nd Cousin, Peggy Parker said, "This is
such a beautiful photo of Winnie with her slender figure in the long
white dress. I love it. I remember Uncle Leon and Aunt Winnie very well.
Leon was a very jovial and personable man."
Sisters: Winnie, Effie, Leah and Lizzie [Elizabeth].
