I want to avoid wherever possible the could haves and should haves of writing a family history blog. In fact I have come up on the chasm between data and knowledge. Once again. I do not want this page to sit awfully long without input so I am adjusting my method of keeping the story going. Those who have GPS may be familiar with the term: I am reconfiguring.
Mary Ann Garff is the next child of Peter and Antomina; she was born while the family lived in Riverton, on 28 Dec 1871. She married in February 1896 to Benjamin Franklin Fitzgerald, born 2 February 1859 in Draper. They were parents of six children, of whom five survived them. They are buried in the Draper City Cemetery, where also rests Roylance Fitzgerald, 1902-1923, the one child predeceasing them. Mary Ann lived until 1949, while Benjamin passed away in 1931.
Their remaining children: Mary Genevieve F. McMullin 1897-1995, McKinley Garff Fitzgerald 1898-1960, Antomina G. F. Perkins, 1900-1988, Joel Garff Fitzgerald 1905-1955, and Afton G. F. Randolph 1909-1999. Mary Ann Garff Fitzgerald had thirteen grandchildren.
Hulda Garff was also born at Riverton, on 23 January 1873, growing to adulthood in the Draper. She would marry first Frederick Christian Mickelsen, a Danish immigrant who worked at fruit growing and lumbering both in Utah and Idaho. He died in 1928; in 1942 Hulda married Joshua E. Salisbury who was in the grocery business. Hulda lived until 20 Nov 1967 and is buried at Wasatch Memorial Park with Fred. Hulda had no surviving children.
