11 Married: 24 Jan 1846 in Iowa. Sealed 11 December 1853 (after she died)
Died. 15 May 1847 on the Potawotomic (probably meant Pottawatomie) Nation on the way to Utah. The Potawotomic Nation is just before Winter Quarters (Council Bluffs). She died of chills and cancer (canker- which may be different than cancer) and other complaints.

Notes: This wife is really quite a mystery because she was only married to Cyrus for 15 months before she passed away. Desdemona would have been with Cyrus for only 4-5 months before Cyrus left for his first mission to England in June 1846. I don?t think she had any children before she died so there are no heirs that may have more information regarding Desdemona. The picture of her is probably not correct but I left it there for recognition purposes only.

EARLY YEARS OF HARRY EARL RAHM CLARK

Written by Barbara Wood, his oldest daughter from personal remembrances told to Mrs. Wood by Harry Earl Rahm Clark in March 1975, and from information sent by family members condensed by Loretta Clark Shaw.

Johan J Rahm was an immigrant from Switzerland. his brother, Gottfried and sister Pauline, emigrated from Switzerland to America about the same time. They all settled in Wyoming, Johan J. married Annie Westfall on October 1899. They had a daughter, Ethel born on March 2 1900 in Cora Wyoming. Johan received his citizenship papers for the United States on April 9 1902. On March 18, 1903 a second child was born to this couple in Cora Wyoming. This was Harry Earl Rahn, my father.At the time Cora, Wyoming consisted of a school house and a combination grocery store and post office owned by a man named Frank Steele. Johan J. change his name legally to John J. Rahm on April, 1908.Shortly after the birth of my father, the Rahms were divorced. Annie went to live with her mother on the Westfall ranch taking her daughter and son with her. John J continued to live a few miles from the Westfall ranch and married Effie Hill in November 1903. Dad remembers his father as a big man with a black patch over one eye. He remembers living with his grandmother Westfall until she died in 1906. Dad was scared of his uncle Gottfried since he was a large gruff man. Whenever his uncle was gone from home for two-three days bear hunting, Dad would go to his house and enjoy goodies his Aunt Viola made. Dad called her Aunt Olllie
After his grandmother died, Annie took her two children and lived in a two-room log cabin on Duck Creek for a while. During the wintertime the skunks would sleep under the cabin beneath the large cookstove to keep warm. Since the floorboards were loose, the children would often lower a noose into the skunk's nest and catch one around the neck, by pulling it out quickly and twirling it around, the skunks couldn't eject their smell. Dad decided to try and brand one of the skunks so he could claim it. He raised a floorboard and put a hot poker through the hole. He only succeeded in singeing their hair and provoking them into smellin up the whole cabin. Later they moved to a Shoshone Indian village near Pinedale, Wyoming. Their home was a cabin which had been divided into two rooms with separate entrances. Annie and her children lived in one room. The room at the other end was shared by a half-breed Indian family named Edwards who had a large family, and a brother of Mr. Edwards. Dad spent many hours running over the hills hunting arrow heads with the Edward children. One of the boys Ike, and Dad were especially close. He, along with the other children, were given the task of helping tan hides and stringing beads on sinew for the Indian women to make gloves, mocassins and clothing. Dad also said the old Indian Grandmother took them togather herbs. I understood that this was the Edward ranch outside of Pinedale and that Annie was hired by them. Dad remembers the all-night dances and parties held at the Binning Ranch when he was very young. The rancher who lived the farthest from the party would hook up a wagon put quilts on it, then take his family and stop along the way to pick up other families, on the way to the party. Music consisted of a fiddle and an accordian. There was always plenty of beer and whiskey as well as hot coffee. When the children were sleepy they were put between quilts spread on the floor of one of the large rooms. The quilts were in the middle of the room and the children were inserted between them feet first on all sides of the quilt.He started his first school in Pinedale, Wyoming. His mother wasn't able to care for him or his sister and arranged to have them adopted. His mother later married Albert Edwards on June 30 1915. She died on April 23 1918 in Rock Springs, Wyoming and and was buried in Pinedale, Wyoming. Dad and his sister Ethel were adopted by Robert Emmett Clark and Annie Flynn Clark, from Cora, Wyoming. He was about 12 years old at the time. The Clarks wanted someone to help with the ranch work and the large yard they mintained. The yard was about an acre and consisted of lawn and flower gardens. They also adopted another girl named Jennie Bloom. These children were responsible for the upkeep of the yard. They kept the lawn mowed with a hard mower and kept the yard as well as the vegetable garden and berry vines cultivated and free from weeds. The ranch house was called "Rustic Lodge". The front of the yard was surrounded by deer horns. Aunt Effa, sister-in-law, to R.E. Clark, told me the Clarks adopted several girls but Dad was the only boy and they adopted him so he would not have to be separted from his sister. They generally had two girls at a time to help with the housekeeping. Mary Clark is Effa's daughter in law.While Dad lived with the Clark family, he went to school in Cora, Wyoming. In those days and in that community children went to school when the weather and the work permitted. It often took several years to complete each grade. About the time Dad was in fifth grade, he was forced to drop out of school because he was needed for the ranch work full time. He was about fifteen. In the winter he chopped wood and fed the cattle. In the summer, he worked in the yard, rode after cattle and helped with the harvest. He would often leave early in the morning, with his lunch in a sack, too look for cattle. Sometimes he came in long after dark. He was called to do this chore when he was quite young. He was too small to climb on a horse unless he could get the horse by a fence or a rock to help him up. Sometimes if the horse was tame enough he could pull himself up one of its legs. One time he got lost in a snowstorm and had to let the horse find the way home.One of the jobs on the ranch was to load logs on a skid to be hauled to the ranch. The ranchers helped each other with this task. Ranchers worked for each other to help out in the harvest. The bigger ranchers paid the smaller ones the difference fo their time. Mr. Jenkins was a large rancher in the area. He hired Bert Clark (son of R.E. Clark) and Dad to work fo $3.00 per day plus $3.00 for each team of horses they drove. Dad also got his room and board at the Jenkins' while working for them. When it came to payday, Mr.Clark only gave Dad the $10.00 per month he was regularly paid and kept the $3.00 a day for his labor. Following this dispute, Dad left the ranch, he was about seventeen at this time. He stopped at the first ranch he came to and asked for work. Mr. Johns, the owner, hired him for $50.00 a month and his room and board with Sundays off. Since he had left with ony his clothes, a horse, and saddle, he really felt rich.After about a year working on this ranch, Dad went to Rock Springs, Wyoming to work in the coal mines for the winter. When harvest time came, he went back to the ranch to work. He had always heard stories about Hawaii so when he was nineteen yearslold, He decided to join the Army Air Force so he could go to Hawaii. He enlisted at Fort Douglas, Utah. From there he went to San Francisco and Angel Island, and on a troop ship to Hawaii. He was stationed on Ford Island in the 6th Pursuit Squadron After spending three years in the Army Air Force, he was discharged. He worked at various jobs in California and Nevada for about two yeaars. While he was working in the mines at Spruce Mountain, Nevada, he attended a dance at Metropolis,Nevada and there met a young school teacher, Vera Gerber. After a period of courtship during which he joined the "Mormon"church, they were married June 21 1927, at her home in Metpropolis. They honeymooned in Yellowstone National Park..

37 Son of Horace Eugene Allred and Mary Elizabeth Mower
Husband of Lorraine Williams and Nellie Margaret Borens

Woody Allred always said that as a young man, he learned a valuable lesson from his father: Sometimes it pays not to take your parents' advice.

Woody, a well-known artist, florist and designer from Pleasant Hill, might have lived a life of frustration and regret if he'd listened to his father counsel to get a "real job."

Woody's dad didn't think his son could make a living painting pictures, so he urged the boy to find something more stable, something that came with a steady paycheck, good insurance and a nice pension. But the artist in Woody wouldn't hear the words. Some way, some how, he would find a way.

The immense talent Woody possessed was noticed when the boy was just 6 years old. He drew a picture of a horse and his first-grade teacher was flabbergasted. It wasn't the typical kid's picture of a large rectangle with four legs. Woody's horse looked like a horse.

In high school in Salt Lake City, Woody studied under a strict but talented teacher who made his students draw until their fingers ached.

"He wanted us to be able to draw in our sleep," Woody said. The teacher also recognized Woody's talents and urged him to attend the California School of Fine Art in San Francisco.

Working nights as a busboy, Woody studied at the academy and then transferred to the Chicago Academy of Art. He took classes at night and worked as a commercial artist during the day. His first job was with Carlton Display Studios, and his first big assignment was producing the posters that advertised the 1939-40 World's Fair.

From there, Woody went to Hollywood, where he became an artist with Fox West Coast Studios. Officials there quickly tabbed him to be the official portrait artist to the contract players, and in his time there, he painted 2,000 actors.

"Myrna Loy, Jeannette MacDonald, Nelson Eddy, Spencer Tracy," Woody told friends. "I did them all."

Lithographs of the paintings were displayed outside almost every movie house in the country, and now are considered big ticket collectors' items.

Woody's Hollywood days were interrupted by World War II. He enlisted in the Navy and spent the early part of the war drawing silhouettes of airplanes and ships. The drawings were used to teach recruits how to tell the difference between enemy craft and allied ships. Later, he was assigned to the Signal Corps.

When the war ended, Woody returned to California, and he and his wife, Nellie, settled in Berkeley. As giddy as the United States was in the post-war years, Woody worried that he wouldn't be able to support his growing family so he shifted his emphasis and used his art background for floral and commercial design.

He became a partner in the Fred Seulberger floral shop in Oakland and later had his own business in Pleasant Hill. Woody's daughter, JoAnne, says her father worked mostly out of their home. He specialized in elaborate displays and holiday decor. Many of his clients were established in San Francisco's financial district, but he also did ornate wedding arrangements.

Woody's floral designs graced the reception tables at Rudy Vallee's wedding, and his intricate outdoor Christmas displays caught the attention of cartoonist Charles Schulz, who retained Woody to create the Swiss chalet murals at an ice rink Schulz built in Santa Rosa.

And through it all, Woody kept painting and drawing. He produced mostly landscapes, and many of his paintings hang in Mormon temples and churches around the country. One of JoAnne's favorite works is of a rustic barn nestled at the foot of Mount Diablo.

Woody loved Contra Costa County, JoAnne says. It saddened him to leave Pleasant Hill about eight years ago, but his health was failing and he and Nellie, his wife, wanted to live closer to their daughter. They settled in Vacaville.

When Woody retired from his design business, he dedicated himself to his painting. He'd rise every day at 5 a.m. and paint for 10, 12, 15 hours.

A couple of years ago, Woody suffered a stroke, which robbed him of his fine, steady hand. He told JoAnne he could still draw, but not with the detail and skill he once had, and so he stopped drawing at all.

Woody died Wednesday. He was 81.

38 Christen Anderson and Karen Jensen

Retyped by Rick Gillespie on August 1st 2008

Christen Anderson was the first of his ancestral line to come to America. He was born February 18. 1796, in the farming community of Svenstrup, in the Parish of Taarnborg, County of Soro, Denmark, the son of Anders Nielson and Dorthe Christensen. On December 1, 1823, he married Ingeborg Nielson at the parish church at Kirke-Stillinge, a short distance from his birthplace. Ingeborg was born in Kirke-Stillinge Parrish November 21, 1789. She was the daughter of Niels Hansen and Maren Christensen, and was previously married to Jens Sorensen, who had died.

Apparently Christen and Ingeborg lived at Kirke Stillinge because here their two children were born:
1. Maren: b. 16 Aug 1825; d. 08Oct 1887; married 09 Dec 1853 to Peder Christensen Jensen
2. Anders: b. 09 December 1828; died 10 Dec 1828 the day after his birth

Ingeborg did not survive the complications of the birth of her second child and passed away six days later, December 15, 1828.

The following year, on May 8, 1829, Christen married Karen Jensen at Korsor, Soro County, the harbor city on the west coast, near Svenstrup his birthplace. She was born April 3rd, 1805 at Sr. Hojrup, Svendborg county, Denmark, on the island of Fyen, a daughter of Jens Hansen and Sidsel Hansen. For a short time they must have lived at Stillinge in the Parish of Kirke-Stillinge, for the first child, Anders, was born there, but the other six children were born in Svenstrup, a few miles away where their father, Christen, was born. The Children are:
1. Anders: born 18 Nov 1830; died 29 Nov 1917; Married (1) April 1859 Nilla Pedersen, Married (2) on 18 Jan 1864 to Kirsten Nielson and Married (3) 10 June 1876 to Christina Jonsson and finally married (4) 14 Feb 1884 to Christina Frantsson.
2. Dorthe Marie: born 26 May 1833; died 13 Dec 1834 at just 19 months old.
3. Jens: born 26 May 1833; died 29 May 1833 at just 3 days after birth
4. Jens: born 10 March 1835 died 21 April 1897; married (1) Kirsten Nielson married (2) 23 Jan 1862 Ane Christine Larsen.
5. Niels Christian: born 31 July 1839; died 1866; married 19 Oct 1862 to Kirstine Nielsen.
6. Ingeborg; born 17 May 1843 ; died 26 May 1843 at just 9 days old
7. Ingeborg; born 28 1846; died 26 Oct 1917; married 14 Jan 1865 to Jacob Christensen. (My great great).

The Mormon Missionaries came to Denmark in 1850 and the family was converted. The oldest son, Anders, was the first to be baptized, and two months later, on May 19, 1853, Christen and Karen were baptized. The three other living children followed soon after. Many of the new converts were emigrating to the United Stated to go to Utah. Jens, the second son of Christen and Karen, was the first of the family to leave their homeland, in January 1855. On May 2nd, 1860 two other sons, Anders and Christian followed him. Two years later, these two were able to send money to their parents for their passage.

Christen, Karen and their daughter, Ingerborg, and Christen?s daughter Maren, by his first marriage and her husband, Peder Christensen Jensen, left Denmark in April 1862 and went by ship to Hamburg, Germany. Four sailing ships, Athenia, Electric, Franklin and Humbolt, were at anchor in the Elbe River to take 1556 saints from Norway, Sweden and Denmark to the United States. They booked passage on the Athenia, a
fair sized ship, but with 484 passengers it was over-loaded. The Athenia was the 115th shipload of saints to leave Europe for the United States.

After getting settled on board, the passengers were sent to get their rations consisting of beef, pork, peas, beans, potatoes, pearl barley, prunes, syrup, vinegar, pepper, coffee, tea, sugar, butter, rye bread, sea biscuits, three quarts of water a day, flour, salted herring, salt, and oil for their lamps

The ship set sail from Hamburg April 22, 1862. For the first two weeks the weather was fine and good speed was made, but when they reached the gulf stream about 300 miles south of New Foundland Banks, there was a calm without any wind for over a week. The temperature rose to eighty degrees with high humidity and the water in the wooden barrels became bad. An epidemic of diarrhea and bowel complaints broke out. Because of poor sanitation and lack of medicines, five adults and a number of children died. Later measles broke out among the passengers. In a few days thirty-three children and several adults had died.

After the hardships of forty-six days on the water the ships came into New York Harbor, June 7, 1862. Abraham Lincoln was then the president of the United States and the nation was involved in a civil war. Twelve days later, when the sickness was under control, they were able to pass immigration inspection and leave by train for Florence, Nebraska, the outfitting point for crossing the plains to the West. Five thousand persons made the crossing in 1862, divided into thirteen companies. Christen and Karen were assigned to the Ole. N. Liljenquist Company. Able bodied men, women, and children had to walk most of the way. Christen was 66 years of age and Karen was 57. There were many hardships on the long trek and also Indian difficulties.

On September 23, the wagons reached the Salt Lake Valley. Christen and Karen?s sons were there to meet them, and take them to Mt Pleasant where they had settled. Three years later, in the summer of 1865, Christen, Karen and their daughter, Ingerborg, went their son Anders and his family to Richfield, where they had been called to help build up the settlement. They traveled to this outpost 85 miles south of Mt Pleasant by wagon and horse-team, cleared land after their arrival, built a house, and planted crops in the spring. The Indians made constant raids, stole cattle and other belongings, and there were many killings. Because there was no fort for protection, the settlement was abandoned on April 20, 1867, less that two years after their arrival.

When Christen and Karen return to Mt. Pleasant , he was given a lot at the northwest corner of 6th South and 3rd West Streets. His son, Anders, helped him made adobe bricks and build a two room house using willows for lathe, mud for plaster, and whitewash to make it beautiful. Also Christen was given five or ten acres of land down Chris Ericksen Lane at 5th South and 5th West Streets, which he farmed as long as he was able to work.

In the fall of this year, after their return from Richfield, Christen and Karen made a trip back to Salt Lake City and were sealed in the Endowment House on October 26, 1867

Little is known of Christen during the next five years. He was stricken with a paralytic stroke which made him bedfast for eleven years. A grandson wrote: ?The primitive conditions; the lack of medical care; the absence of even modest comforts; hard work, worry and deprivations and the trials and discouragements were so plentiful; made life for him hard to bear in the sunset of life. We should not forget to appreciate the kind and noble work of this faithful wife, She worked at his side in the heat of the day, she helped him plow the fields and plant the crops; to build the house and make it a home. She was at his side when they had to stand off the Indians, when they were raided and driven from their home; she helped bear the sorrow when their son was massacred by the savages. She faithfully waited on him for eleven years as he lay helpless with paralysis.?

Christen?s death occurred in Mt. Pleasant. March 21, 1884 at the age of 88 years. Karen lived nearly 13 years longer. She died February 9, 1897 at the age of 91 years, and is buried in the family plot at the side of her husband in the Mt Pleasant Cemetery.
