He was born January 22, 1924 to John William and Sarah Mitchell Child in Clinton, Utah. After graduating from Lewis Child Davis High school, he attended Weber State College for one year before enlisting in the Air Force in 1943, where he became a fighter pilot, serving in Texas and Japan. He married Elaine Rundquist October 1, 1944 when he was on military leave; they later solemnized their marriage in the Salt Lake Temple. After leaving the military in 1948, Lewis continued his education at the University of Utah where he graduated in 1950 with a degree in business. He opened an accounting firm in Ogden, which he owned and operated until his retirement in 1988. A very faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he served in many callings during his life including Bishop, High Councilor, Stake President and Patriarch. He and Elaine served two LDS missions: Philippines Baguio and New York Rochester. He also served his community in the Kiwanis and embroidery. If you stopped by her home, you left with a plant start or a doily. New babies got booties or an afghan. She adored her family and we are blessed with many remembrances from her garden and handiwork. She made an altar cloth for the Ogden Temple when it was rededicated; she was 100 years old by then. She wrote the 100-yearr history of the Eden Ward. It is now on the internet. It took her three years riding the bus to Salt Lake City to the Church History Dept. to research it. Throughout the years she made hundreds of booties for the new-born kits for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She loves the Savior and his church. She held many positions in the church—most of them associated with music. She loved the hymns. She faithfully did her visiting teaching until she was 101.

Melva Jane Castleton Crookston January 7, 1931 ~ June 30, 2019 On June 30, 2019, our beautiful mother passed on to the next phase of her journey. Melva will be greatly missed by those she has left behind, but we believe she is enjoying a beautiful reunion with her friend and eternal companion Lynn. She accomplished many great things in the 88 years of her time here. Melva was born in Emmett, Idaho to her loving parents Melvin Emanuel and Ruth Getz Castleton. She enjoyed a happy childhood growing up across the street from her Grandma and Grandpa Getz in Tremonton, and also visiting her Castleton grandparents in Malad. She often related the memory of attending the Apostolic Christian Church with her mother while her Dad attended his “Mormon” Ward. Coming from such a close-knit family instilled in Melva the value of love and charity for all her family members. After graduating from Bear River High School, Melva earned her nursing degree from Dee Memorial Hospital, and then went on to earn her Bachelor of Nursing degree from the University of Utah. She worked as a student nurse in Santa Fe, New Mexico for an affiliation in public health, and this was also the place where she met her husband-to-be. Melva worked as an RN at the Utah State Hospital and at Shriners Hospital prior to her marriage. After marrying, Melva managed Lynn’s dental practice in Ogden, Utah. In 1954, Melva was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She had a deep love for Jesus Christ and spent her life striving to love others as he does. Her Doran Heap Barlow February 15, 1920 ~ July 17, 2019 Our dear and loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great-grandfather Doran Heap Barlow, 99 Doran Barlow years old, passed away Wednesday, July 17, 2019, surrounded by his loving family. Born February 15, 1920 to Nathan and Dora Tolman in Preston, Idaho, he was the 14th child. His mother died of influenza at his birth. He was raised by an older sister and her husband, Viola and Norman Larsen, in Mink Creek, Idaho. He attended schools there and in Montpelier, and graduated from Preston High. He served an LDS Mission to the Central States Mission. He married his eternal sweetheart Anna Harding in the Logan LDS Temple July 28, 1943. They lived in Mink Creek and Fairview, Idaho; Tremonton and Thatcher, Utah; and moved to Ogden in 1951. He had his own milk route from Thatcher to Wellsville. He also worked at Ogden Ironworks, Waterfall Ready Mix, and as the maintenance engineer for the old and new Ogden Tabernacle and other church medical buildings. He and Anna worked together as managers of Christopher Village Apartments until they retired. They served an LDS Mission on Temple Square at the Family History Center. An active member of the LDS Church, he has served in the bishopric, stake and ward love knew no bounds for anyone she met. In 1955, Melva married Lynn Byron Crookston in the Logan Temple. Along with raising 12 children, Melva fostered 43 newborns in her home. While raising her large family, she also spent many hours driving back and forth from Tremonton cheerfully tending to the many needs of her aging parents and eventually taking her father into her home to care for him in the last years of his life. Melva created a home that was warm and welcoming to all who entered. Not only did her children and grandchildren consider her home their home, but so did many of their friends. She loved to play games, put together puzzles, picnic in Ogden Valley, and hike. She was hostess to hundreds of family parties. She ran a tight ship and was a great organizer and delegator. She taught her children the value of a good work ethic while maintaining a sense of humor, which she inherited from her father, Melvin. Melva took great joy in being a life-long learner. She graduated from the Ogden LDS Institute three times and was an avid reader and family historian. She spent many hours in her garden and took great joy in the beauty she found there. She was a wonderful cook and handcrafter. In 1995, Melva and Lynn served a mission to Wausau Wisconsin, a place that proved challenging to her physically, yet she loved the experience and the people that she met there. Melva is survived by her children Wendy and Ray Williams, Becky Glasmann, Miriam and Bob Langford, Sarah and Scott Godfrey, Peter and Amy Crookston, Wayne and Susie Crookston, Paul and Kimalee Crookston, Elizabeth and Curt Panter, John and Mikelle Crookston, Emily and Todd Stokes, James and Jenefer Crookston, and Mike and Amy Crookston; and 49 grandchildren and 48 greatgrandchildren.
