Carl was the fourth child of a family of seven; four brothers and two sisters. Carl and one sister, Anna Marie Sutherland, residing in Provo, are the only ones still living. Carl married Minerva Ann Jensen on May 28, 1919. Minerva was born on January 28, 1900 in Redmond, Utah to Anton Christian Jensen and Johanna Jensen. She was the sixthchild in a family of 11. There are two sisters and one brother still living. They are Ruby Lillian Casto, of Salina, Orlando Christian Jensen, of American Falls, Idaho, and June Kennedy, of Peoa, Utah. Carl and Minerva have four children. They are Carl Anderson, Jr., who lives in Logan, Louise Casto, of Salina; Utah; Lois Garcia, of Murray, Utah, and Robert Anderson, of Roy. They are credited with 15 grandchildren and four greatgrandchildren and another one due the end of February. Minerva, coming from a large family did more than her share of work. She worked many long hours at the Redmond Hotel. Carl and Minerva are both active members of the LDS Church. Carl has held positions of teaching, Stake Missionary in Salina and held the position of Sunday School Superintendent in Los Angeles. Minerva has held the position of counselor in the Relief Society and Primary while living in Los Angeles. Since living in Utah she has been very active in Relief Society. Minerva has many lovely hobbies, among them is sewing, which she does very well. While living in Redmond, she was in charge of an Apron Shop. She enjoyed this business very much and kept it open for some time. Her aprons were well known around the State. Carl was raised on a farm in Chester, Utah. In 1923, he moved to California and was accepted on the police force in Los Angeles. What an exciting There was never a dull job! moment. It involved everything from cleaning up after the floods to muggings on the street. Remember the traffic policeman, before the signal light? They had to stand on a little box in the center of the intersection. This was a big risk for anyone, but Carl did this also while on the force in Los Angeles. He retired after serving for years. 20 In 1943, they decided to move out of the big city of Los Angeles and move to Ephraim, Utah, where he took the position of Relief Marshal. Carls next job was serving as a guard at Columbia Geneva Steel Division in Provo, where he commuted back and forth on weekends and the family continued to live in Ephraim, where the children were still attending school. In 1944, they moved back to California, where Carl went to work as an investigator for the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. Then in 1946, they again moved back to Ephraim, and he went to work at the Ephraim Mill. Later, he took the job of Chief of Police in Sallha. He worked at this job for four years and then moved to Redmond, where he became the Policeman, Watermaster, Sexton and everything else that could be thrown in. Carl and Minerva stayed in Redmond until he retired from police work. He continued to be Sexton of the Redmond Cemetery for another year. Then in 1963, they moved back to Salina, where he took the job of Sexton in the East-sid- e Cemetery. After a couple of years here, he being a Sexton. tinued to do jobs tor work, helper retired from has consuch as janito farmers. He irrigated for Howard Nielsen in Grass Valley for about He six years. Carl just plain loves and en- joys people. He helps anyone, whenever he can, no matter what town he is in, he always finds someone he knows. While they lived in Redmond, Carl was active in the Lions Club and has always been an active member of the American Legion. Carl served in World War I. Every winter, while Carl and Minerva lived in Redmond, one would find him grading the streets, all bundled up in his He didnt have a big coat. modern day grader, where he could get out of the cold. He had to stand out in the cold while grading the streets. Many people will remember the Christmas time when Carl and Minerva prepared their car with two big speakers and a record player and on Christmas Eve, they would drive up and down every street in Redmond, time and time again, spreading Christmas cheer to everyone. All of the people would stand at their windows and listen. Many would come out and offer them a goodie. The caroling stopped when they moved to Salina. They enjoyed spreading joy to everyone in any way possible. Bet the Lions Club members in Redmond can remember those fantastic meals that Minerva used to prepare for them! Then there was the curfew bell in Redmond. Carl was to ring it every evening and neither rain nor snow kept him from doing his duties. The youth used to give him a bad time by ringing the bell at hours other than curfew. Carl enjoyed his job although it demanded long hours. In May of 1969, Carl and Minerva were to celebrate their Golden Wedding Anniversary, but they were involved in a terrible automobile accident in which Minerva wasnt expected to live. Both of them battled all the way, never giving up the fight to live and to get back on their feet. Since then they have been some 110,000 accident-fre- e miles. They enjoy traveling, whether it be to the store, or for a little ride. Distance is no problem to them. They have gone to Albuquerque, New Mexico many times during the past few years. Carl and Minerva make friends everywhere they go. Along with their love for life and people, they have a great deal of love for animals. They have raised many different kinds and cared for them. Among them is another member of the family, "Susie, a small white poodle. and Before her was "Mimi "Tootsie and others down the line. Each one of their special cont. on page 3 Notify Fire Dept.

Elks Officers Turn Soil New Lodge Construction Begins ground-breaki- ceremony for the new Elks Lodge was held in Richfield last Saturday, March 3, at 3:00 P.M. The invocation was given by Stan Hendrickson. The remarks by Kenneth Ledbetter cited the wrforv of the Lodge. He stated that in tne summer of 1969, Virgil Draney, the then Exalted Ruler of the Elks Lodge in Price, Utah, approached Reed Madsen, of Richfield, with the question, "Was it possible to stimulate enough interest In the local area to organize and support a new Elks Lodge.

It was then proposed to drop the efforts of forming a new lodge. Upon the request of Reed Madsen and exRalph Blotter, a tension was granted in order to determine how many applications could be received. It was necessary to have 100 members to organize a new lodge. By the labors of these two men, over 60 members were enrolled. This together with other memberships received in the mail, they were able to institute the first meeting on September 7, 1969 at the Richfield High School. There were 146 m. two-we- ek er charter members. Brother Blotter was elected as the first Exalted Ruler and Reed Madsen served ascharter secretary, a post which he has served to this day. The succeeding Exalted Ruler was Brother Lyle Nebeker, who was followed by Marlin Higgins, the present Exalted Ruler.

A well has since been drilled, and a membership bond drive initiated to secure funds for the construction of the new building. Since the lodge was Instituted less than four years ago, over 260 members have been initiated or transfered into the lodge and presently has about 100 more members than when originally chartered. Each year the lodge distributes Christmas baskets to the needy in the area. Easter egg hunts have been held for the children. To date, nearly $5,000 total has been won by students in the youth scholarship program. The lodge has also presented valuable equipment to the local hospital. In addition, the Lodge has sponsored two State Elks Camporees at Fish Lake. Local Lodge officers have faithfully attended state meetings and each year, the Richfield Lodge participates in the ritual contest. This year, for the first time, this Lodge was selected to participate with five other lodges on May 18th in Cedar City at the State Convention, with the hope of representing Utah in the National Finals at Chicago in July of this year. The lodge property and well have been paid for and presently have about $42,000 toward construction of the $115, 000 facility. Financing has been arranged through The Valley Central Bank. However, it is hoped that a continuing bond drive will provide sufficient funds to preclude borrowing from outside sources. It Is planned to dedicate the lodge building later this summer. |
