Obituary: Note:  I added what is in blue to clarify half-sibs
Theo E. Wayment, 82, passed away Sunday, August 12, 2006, after a valiant fight for survival at the McKay-Dee Hospital, Ogden.
Theo was born March 18, 1924, in Ogden, Utah, the son of Theodore Wayment and Hazel Caroline East.

He married Shirley Schaer October 22, 1946, in the Salt Lake City Temple.
Theo was a resident of Ogden, Utah for 38 years. He served in the United States Navy during World War II and was honorably discharged as Seaman First Class April 1946 from Oakland, California. He went on to work for the Ogden City Rail Road, the old Thomas Dee Hospital then completed a career as an Aircraft Mechanic at Hill Air Force Base from where he retired.

He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in which he served as a temple worker and fulfilled many various callings including two LDS Stake mission calls – one of which he served as a counselor in the Lorin Farr Stake Mission Presidency. He enjoyed working closely with the young missionaries and had a great love of this work.
Theo had a great love for the aircraft he worked on at Hill Air Force Base; for camping, fishing, and especially for all the animals both domestic and in the wild. He was a farmer at heart and found great joy in growing his gardens and working on the family farm in Warren, Utah.

Surviving are wife Shirley Schaer; daughters Karen W. Allred (Larry) of West Point, Patricia W. Cunningham Hensely of West Jordan, Janet W. Tetlow (Mark) of Monroe, North Carolina; his sister Dianne W. Bullock (Carl) of North Ogden; seven grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren.

Elizabeth Emma McGhie
Born 21 December 1924 Ogden, Weber, Utah
Married David Harold Webb 27 June 1942 Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah
Died 22 Sep 2016 Bloomington, Washington, Utah
Buried Utah State Veterans Memorial Park, Bluffdale, Salt Lake, Utah
Obituary:
Elizabeth Emma (Betty) McGhie Webb 91 passed away peacefully at her home is St. George, Utah surrounded by her family on September 22, 2016. She was born on December 21, 1924 in Ogden, Utah to Oliver Calvin and Erma Mae East McGhie. She married David Harold Webb on June 27, 1942 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Betty and Dave were High School sweethearts. They dated for two years and have been married for 74 years, totaling 76 years of continuous courtship. They have loved and been loved by 5 children, 22 grandchildren, 60 great grandchildren, 17 great great grandchildren and her two special nephews, Garry (Marsha) and Dennis (Kris) McGhie.

Betty’s life has been a life of service. She is fiercely loyal to her husband and children. She is often referred to as the “giving tree.” She wanted everyone, who went away from her home, to take something with them. Her generosity continued into her declining years. She was constant in caring about others.

Betty loved her kids and she loved the kids they married. Her concern extended to them, forever.

Betty was the consummate listener. She had the ability to listen to people’s concerns and be genuinely interested in whatever they had to say. It was never “too late” and she was never “too tired” to enjoy conversation with an individual family member or a group of family or friends. She is remarkable!

Betty’s family and friends will be forever grateful for her influence in their lives.

She is survived by her husband David H. Webb, her five children, DeAnne (Ron) Nielson, Janice Mines, Sheryl (Lynn) Bloxham, Colleen (Carl) Pinneo (deceased) and David C. (Linda) Webb.

She is preceded in death by her parents, her brother Easton (Wilma) and a son in law Carl Pinneo and a Grandson-in-law, Jerad Egbert.

The family is grateful to Cindy and Georgia from Dixie Homecare and Hospice. Special thanks to Jami, from Dixie for the extra loving care she provided.

Funeral Services will be held on September 26, 2016, at the Veterans Memorial Cemetery, 17111 South Camp Williams Road. Bluffdale, Utah at 12:00pm. A Viewing will be held from 10:00am to 11:30am prior to the funeral service. Interment will be at Veterans Memorial Cemetery. A luncheon will be provided by the River 10th Ward, 1570 W. 11400 So.

Married Bernice Mary Hammer 4 Dec 1944

Died 21 October 2007 Manila, Daggett, Utah
Buried Memorial Gardens of the Wasatch, South Ogden, Weber, Utah
Obituary:
 Ivan “Ike” East 2-27-21 ~ 10-21-07 “Gone Fishin” MANILA, Utah – Ivan “Ike” East left this world to be with his beloved wife Bernice, on Sunday, October 21, 2007. He left behind many friends and family members who will miss his independent spirit and sense of humor. Ike was born February 27, 1921 to Thomas and Cora Wright East, the fifth child of eight. Ike served with the Civilian Conservation Corp during his late teens and served honorably with the U.S. Army during World War II. After returning home from the war, he married the love of his life, Bernice Hammer, on December 4, 1944. Following many years of civil service at Hill Air Force Base, Ike and Bernice moved to Manila, Utah in 1971. Ike always

called it “God’s Country”. They spent many happy years together and remained active after retirement fishing at Flaming Gorge and traveling during the winter months. Ike and Bernice loved their time with dear friends at the Eagles Trailer Park and Lodge east of Ogden Canyon. Ike and Bernice were always together and when Bernice passed away on December 31, 1988, a part of Ike went with her. Ike is survived by his brother, Alfred G. East, and his sister, Margaret E. Neely. Ike was fortunate to have a true friend in Frank Brown, a fellow Eagle member. Ike thought of Frank as a son and we know Frank thought of Ike as a father. We thank Frank from our hearts for all he did for Ike, especially the past few weeks. Preceding him in death were his parents, three sisters and two brothers. Graveside services will be held Thursday at 11 a.m. at Lindquist’s Memorial Gardens of the Wasatch, 1718 Combe Road, where Military Honors will be accorded. Friends may call at Lindquist’s Ogden Mortuary, 3408 Washington Blvd., on Thursday from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Email condolences to the family at: www.lindquistmortuary.com

Married Marybelle Travis 21 July 1949
Children: Judy, Janet
Died 22 March 2011 Utah
Buried:  Cremation - location of ashes unknown
Obit:
Surrounded by his loving family from complications of Alzheimer's. He was born February 24, 1928 to Thomas Alfred East and Cora Ann Wright East. He was the youngest of 8 children. He grew up most of his life in the Ogden area.
He married Marybelle Travis on July 21, 1949. They had two children Judy East Dockstader and Janet East.
He worked for HAFB as a mechanic, but he was a "jack of all trades". He retired in 1971, where he then was able to travel with his wife and friends.
His passion in life was his family. He loved his wife, daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren very much. Also his passion was his home. He always made such a beautiful home for all of us. He loved yard work and it showed. His yard was immaculate, and made a beautiful place for us to live. He was there for us no matter what the project was.
We went on several family vacations and the memories will always be a treasure. He would always map out the route to make sure we could see everything possible, and made sure every hotel had a pool, that was the only thing the grandkids asked for.
He is survived his wife Marybelle East, daughter Judy East Dockstader, Janet East and 7 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren, and sister Marge East Neely. He was preceded in death by his 6 of his siblings : Melvin East, Gwen East Wheeler, Dortha East Price, Thelma East Hunt, Ivan East, Gage East and a great granddaughter Kaylene Peterson.
We would like you to celebrate his life with us at a Memorial service at Leavitt's Mortuary on Wednesday, March 30th, at 11 am. Friends and family are invited to share memories with the family one hour prior.
We would like to thank the staff at Mountain View Nursing Services and Inspiration Hospice for their kind and loving care.
Cremation will be under the direction of Leavitt's Mortuary.
In lieu of flowers we would like you to donate to the Utah Chapter of Alzheimer's.

Some LDS Missionaries serving in Eastern States Mission,in the 1911 - 1960's

2021: 2nd Miracle! I have found the originals of these pictures! If you are related and want them, please let me know your address via email or message me on FB and I will send it to you. 

2021: Miracle!  Found the missing pictures on a different computer and have installed them.

2020 UPDATE: Sadly, I think threw away the originals years ago (in 2015 or so), not knowing, of course, that Blogger would take off all the pictures! I left the information that had been on the back of the photos.  

This is a side step from what I usually do on my genealogy blog, but I feel the need to get this done, so someone must be looking for one of these great men and women.

This collection came from two sources:  my mother-in-law (Bessie Erickson) who moved to Idaho in the late 1930s and her sister (Valeda Stetson) who remained in Maine. The pictures were in my mother-in-law's things when she died in 2009.  

If you've seen Robots (the cartoon starring the voice of Robin Williams and various other voice actors), you'll recognize the "See a need, fill a need" philosophy I felt when I considered tossing these pictures.  I've seen a lot of valuable pictures thrown away because people have no idea the thrift stores including Deseret Industries) do not have a place to put them.  One of the most horrible things I've witnessed was the days I volunteered at our local D.I. and saw several genealogy books (WITH PICTURES!) thrown out. Update:  My mistake was believing that the photos would be safe here, on Blogger. I thought once they were attached I would have no problem and they'd be, for lack of a better term, "forever" so, lesson learned.

Many of the photos below are vintage one-of-a-kind and deserve respect.  I place them here, in the 'cyber cloud' since I will soon have to dispose of the hard copies. Note:  now I realize I could have sent them to the church historical department. 

This post contains three parts - part one, all of the pictures are identified, part two the pictures of my mother-in-law and her family (before she met or married my father-in-law) with different Elders/Sisters, and part three are those Missionaries that I could not identify but are very classy photos, and I hope they exist elsewhere. 

Hopefully, people will be checking for and identifying their ancestors.  I've done the best I can to find each of them on findagrave, but it isn't easy because I often don't know more than their name.  So, here goes, in first-name alphabetical order after the official picture of the formation of the mission (taken in September of 1937).

Front Row L to R:  Kenneth Hacking, Abel S Rich, Carl F. Eyring, Fern Chipman Eyring

Second Row Left to right:  Cleon Harris, John A Widstoe, Leah Widstoe

Third Row Left to right: Lawrence Dalton, W Keith Hurren, Charles Brown, Earl Moser

Back Row Left to right:  Chester Becraft, Glen Longhurst, Darl Anderson, Glen Price

Below are individual photos I found. 
Note: I cannot find anyone on Family Search unless they have passed away. Most of the pictures were those sent from Valeda Small Stetson to her sister, Bessie Amelia Small Erickson, 

who moved west in the late 1930's. 

Amasa William Hyde

Amasa William Hyde.  

This photo is on a postcard.  It's similar to the card stock we use now for craft projects

In his own handwriting on the back, he has written:  With very best wishes from Elder Amasa Wm Hyde Preston, Idaho RD #3

I was able to paste it into his findagrave memorial.  He is the husband of my second cousin 3x's removed.

 Andrew Kimball

He is standing outside of the Smalls-Stetsons home.  I'm not sure what the foggy part of the image is from - a fingerprint on a negative? Double Exposure - unlikely. Anyway, I have not been able to find him.

Calvin Nielsen (with his signature)  

On the back is written Mendon, Utah. 

The photograph appears more 1950's style. 

He is likely still living. 

Carlyle Davenport Marsden

Carlyle Davenport Marsden  

Written on the back is:  May the Lord bless you always!  It's been enjoyable to know you.  Elder Marsden.  He also gave his address as Parowan, Utah.

I have two of these - one with and one without his signature.

Turns out, he is the husband of Bessie Small's 7th cousin.

On a personal note:  I worked with a Dr. Marsden at Weber State College and went to school with Elaine Marsden at Bonneville High School in Ogden.  

I was able to find his findagrave memorial and pasted it there.

This came from her funeral video,
but the photo is her mission picture.

Colleen Beus

On the back was written:  

Dear Bro and Sis Stetson, 

It has been a pleasure knowing and associating with you folks in Bangor.  I appreciate all you've done for me.   It is people like you that make our missions so happy.  May God bless you always.  My love and best wishes, Sister Colleen Beus Hooper, Utah.  Be sure to come see me when you get out west.  Hooper is just out of Ogden.

She is the wife of Bessie Small's 7th cousin.

Found she married John Tippets, and passed away in 2016. 

Here is the link to her funeral video: https://www.lindquistmortuary.com/notices/Colleen-Tippets

Craig S Funk

A postcard picture on card stock, it appears to be 1950-60's style (thinner lapels, Elvis hair)

On the back is written:  To the best Family in Bangor

Dear Stetsons,

I regret to leave Maine because of the blessings I have received while laboring here.  I know that folks like you have been part of these blessings.  Your brother always, Elder Funk  

Then his address:  5 mi Cheua (?) Hot Springs Rd, Fairbanks, Alaska.  School:  997 North 5th West, Provo, Utah

Could not find him. He may not have passed away before this time (2020).

David Jackson

I had two of these.  Both are postcards.  He wrote on the back: 

Dear Sister Stetson,

It's been a pleasure to have been in Bangor to know you saints here.  Blessings Always,  Elder David Jackson.

Then his address:  143 North Orchard Dr.  Moses Lake, Washington

Could not find him.

Delbert Guy Taylor

On the front he wrote: 

Very Sincerely Delbert G Taylor, Rigby Idaho

He is on Family Search and it turns out he is my 2nd cousin, three times removed!

I left a message on Family Search in case anyone wants the photo.

Francis Brigham Taylor

Francis Brigham Taylor

There is no information on this picture except a date:  18 June 1936.

Ironically, he is one of my relatives (1st cousin, twice removed).  

This appears to be a reprint of a photo found elsewhere.

Golda Danzie

Golda (Goldie) Pearl Danzie

Great shot. I don't think it was her that signed her name and the year on the front. Her name is misspelled. On the back is written the year:  1922

She is the wife of my husband's 9th cousin once removed.

Harry L Phillips

Harry L Phillips

Handwritten on back (spelling unchanged):  1 Jan 1964 

To Sister Stetson and Family

Thank you so much for all you have done for me.  I really love you all.  May God bless you always.  Keep up the good missionary work.  We shur love you for it and our Father in Heaven is pleased with you to.  If you ever get out west be shure and look me up ok.  

Love your brother Elder Harry L. Phillips 

121 Vernon Pl. 

Bakersfield, Calif.

Did not find him, likely because he is still alive.

Jack Treasure

1950-60's style photo.

Written on the back:  Dear Bro and Sis Stetson,

I want to thank you for your efforts to help us in our work and let you know we certainly appreciated your fine spirit and Enthusiasm.  Love, Elder Treasure.

Did not find him, likely because he is still alive.

Jennie Marble

On Back:  1928.  

Deweyville, Utah. 

Taken at 84th 4th Street - unclear if this is Bangor or Deweyville.

On a personal Note: my mother-in-law spoke in glowing terms of Jennie.  With her Maine accent it was pronounced:  "Sistah Mah-ble".  

You can find Jennie on Family Search

John Meacham

Postcard photo

On Back:  Dear Brother & Sister Stetson,

I did so want to see you before leaving, but I guess you are not home.  My prayers are for your success and happiness.  God bless you dear people.  Elder M.  

Address:  John A Meacham, Grace, Idaho

Didn't find him - likely still alive

John Richards

On back:  1933  with my mother-in-law's name:  Bessie Small.  He must have given it to her (many missionaries did this).

Have not found him.

Kenneth Hacking and other Elders.

Unknown Elders in back,

In front: Kenneth, perhaps Elder Jacobs, Perhaps Elder Delbert Taylor

 Leland Oswald Christensen

Handwritten on back of postcard-type photo: 

Leland Oswald Christensen, Rexburg Idaho

Was able to find him and pasted this photo to findagrave memorial.

He turned out to be the husband of Bessie Small's 7th cousin once removed.

Mark Dunford Weston

1950's-60's style photo

Written on back;  Elder Mark D Weston

357 Blvd. Logan, Utah

You can find him on Family Search.  1923-1995

Newell Knight Brown


Written on back:  Newell K Brown December 1936.  I know my mother-in-law knew him. The research I've done shows that he is/was her 5th cousin once removed.

He can be found on Family Search

Phyllis Noall

Phyllis Noall

Handwritten on back:  

To the Stetsons,

May your lives be filled with much happiness and joy. May the Lord bless you, always,  

Sincerely,  Phyllis Noall 

421 Wall St. Salt Lake City, Utah

Found her memorial and pasted this picture to it.

Ronald Ball

 On back states: Elder Ronald Ball (he is on the right)

in Maine about 1938

Stephen L Baldwin 

Handwritten on back: 1963

Elder Stephen L Baldwin 

Box 287

Moreland, Idaho

Did not find him, likely still alive

Sybil Hansen

Sybil Hansen

Postcard type photo

Handwritten on back:

To Valeda and Bob and Grammy with the prayers for your welfare from a loving L.M. (Lady Missionary)  

Sybil Hansen

Bangor, Maine Sept. 1942  

Home address:  Preston, Idaho

Research shows she is Bessie Small's 7th cousin.

Found her memorial on findagrave, pasted this picture. Sybil passed away in 2005. Checked 2020 on Family Search and pasted it there.

Sister Tanner

This is the only information I have to identify her.

Willard Petersen and William Welker


On back:  Elder Willard Petersen and Wm Welker

It was from an earlier era - possibly 1910-20's

I couldn't find a definite record of either man on findagrave.

2020 Note:  my guess was good - Willard can be found on Family Search and in the missionary database.  He served his mission from 1922-1913, so he would have served during the time that my mother-in-law's grandparents were members. He is Bessie Small's 11th cousin.

There is an Elder William Barnsley Welker from Bear Lake Idaho that served in the Eastern States Mission in 1911 (no end date). There was a picture of him on the Early LDS Missionaries site.

Here are photos of Elders that stopped by the Small's home and had pictures taken 

Elder Ronald Ball and Bessie Small
