Isaac S Gudmundsen
1887 – 1889
Mary Jean Gudmundsen
Sager Stone, 1888 – 1957, has been a good example for me regarding double-checking
information and records. I cannot prove my record is correct, but in all
goodwill I offer the results I find. Examples of the challenge here are that I
have always had Mary Jane in my record, but find others have Mary
Jean and one source states our kinswoman “always went by her middle name,
Jean.” I want to honor my family with a correct record, and also to use the
name they chose to use. So I do so here.
[ I will talk more about this later, as this is neither the
first instance nor the last! kk]
Jean Gudmundsen was born in Lehi, Utah and there she began
her family with marriage to Gilbert S Sager (1885 – 1920) in 1907. Gilbert was
a sheepherder, born in American Fork, Utah. I am uncertain if it was with a
family operation or if he managed sheep for others. Jean and Gilbert were
divorced according to the information found in www.findagrave.com, from which I have
gleaned much of my information of this family.
Jean’s children from this marriage were Thomas Gerald Sager,
Lorraine Sager Stone, Dorothy Sager and Wilma Sager. The 1940 US Census refers
to the three children listed as adopted children of Jean’s second husband Lloyd
Candland Stone (1894 – 1983). They were married in 1921, in Ogden, Utah,
remaining in that community the rest of their lives.
Jean and Lloyd are buried
in the Aultorest Memorial Park in Ogden.
