Cousins Meet at Church

After growing up in Minnesota it is a small world when we find second and third cousin at church.

In New York City we find the the wife of the Stake President and 'B' have common grandparents. Grandmother Eva and great grandmother Ella are sisters. (Common grandparents - Herbert Henry HAWKES and Sarah Amy JONES).

In Atlanta 'T' has two good friends who are first cousins. Then we learn from facebook 'T' is their second cousin. Their grandmothers Amy and Camilla are sisters. (Common great grandparents - George Ensign SMITH and Amy Ella HAWKES.)

Twice in Salt Lake City we find cousins in the ward.

'B' makes a baby gift for a friend, when her mother and grandmother attend the babies blessing 'B' meets them. They have a sister/daughter living in NYC. 'B' is a third cousin to her friend. Their grandmothers Margene and Camilla are first cousins. (Common great great grandparents - Herbert Henry HAWKES and Sarah Amy JONES.)

A girl moves into the ward with a familiar name so 'J' asks "do you know Myrle"? Their grandmother's Camilla and Myrle are sisters. (Common great grandparents - George Ensign SMITH and Amy Ella HAWKES)

Then and Now

Kirt D. and Camilla WOOD had this house built in 1952. One side for their young family and the other for Kirt's mother Laura PARKER WOOD. Grandma lived next door for several years. Then she move to California to be near her oldest son Parker. When she came back the Woods had grown out of the duplex and had moved. Grandma Laura moved in with us there.

My daughter gave me this idea. On a resent trip to SLC we took three of our children and two grandchildren and ask the current owner if we could take some pictures. She was very nice and let us in the gate to the back porch to take the first photo.

The house where I lived in Salt Lake City, Utah then and now.
