NORA REBECCA FORSGREN and her descendants:
Lewis Roy Burnham was born 15 Jan 1883 in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake Co. He died 1 1/2 yrs. before Nora on 20 Dec. 1970 in Malad City, Oneida Co., Idaho. He was buried on 23 Dec in Richmond City Cemetery.
[I thought that I had more photos of Aunt Nora and Uncle Roy, but so far I have not come across them. Can any of you descendants help with that?? I have no individual photos of Roy]
MARRIAGE: Western States Historical Marriage Record Index: Salt Lake Co, Utah Recs v.N p. 14 ID# 115016; A 1936 FGS states that Nora and Roy were sealed by C.W. Penrose; Also listed in Utah Misc. Marriage Index (SL film # 820,160).
"Leonora R. Forsgren age 21 Resident of Brigham City. Lic issued 5 Oct 1903 Salt Lake City; Married 8 Oct 1903 in Salt Lake City to Lewis Roy Burnham by Elder Charles W. Penrose. " [This source lists Salt Lake Co Book O p. 14]
Adele note: The following paper was among the things I inherited from my Grandmother, Alfrieda Forsgren Sorensen (Nora's sister). There was an intense period where Grandma was collecting information from each of her siblings and having me help copy them onto family group sheets. It was very important to her to get that done - and it actually formed the basis for my early genealogical training as well. I am assuming that this is either Nora's or Roy's handwritten response to my Grandmother's request for data!

I believe this photo was taken in Feb of 1967 at our home in Boise, Idaho. The occasion would have been my mother's funeral. Rella was Alfrieda's only child and that is the only occasion I know of that Grandma Freda's siblings were all with her.
