Family History Friday: Montpelier Cemetery!

Me and my darlin had such a fun time at the Montpelier, Idaho Cemetery.

My husband’s great-great grandparents are the Hogensen’s, Christian and Petra. They  are buried there. This is their headstone below. We’ve always enjoyed the story of their lives. They were married onboard the ship William Tabscott enroute from Liverpool, England. The were asked by Brigham Young to help settle the Bear Lake Valley.

These little headstones look like they lost a few little ones. It always breaks my heart when I think of all the babies lost, and how devastating that would be to lose a baby.  DSC06057Their daughter Agnes was my husband’s great grandmother. She married Charles Rodwell Pearce. Their daughter Ruth Pearce was my husbands grandmother.

I am so grateful for their lives and sacrifices. I love them. I am always ready for a visit to a cemetery. Try it, you might love it!!

Happy Family History Friday! Love, Joy
