A Mother’s Prayer
Please let me keep on going, Lord
From dawn to setting sun
Till I’m no longer needed,
And all my work is done.
Please let me be around to see
My little ones grow strong
And keep my shoulder handy
For tears when things go wrong.
Please let me make our home a place
They’re happy to be in,
And help me by example
To keep them free from sin.
For not until they’re all prepared
To face life’s rocky road,
Does any mother dare to drop
Her teaching and her load.
It’s only then that she can feel
She’s truly earned her rest,
As thankfully she whispers, Lord,
I’ve done my very best.

“See you in Arco on Atomic Days”

Arco celebrates this weekend the birth in our immediate area of the “Atoms For Peace” program. The program we celebrate was designed to turn the terror of the atom into a worldwide boon for civilization and an energy source without environmental damage, and the reversal of greenhouse gases, a suspected cause of global warming.

See you there and have a great time in the birthplace of the “Atoms for Peace”.

George Ray Bawden and wife Viola {Duvall} are buried in Oakdale Cemetery, Davenport, IA.
The huge brown cemetery ledger has him listed as RAYMOND because he went by "Ray"...his father was George Washington Bawden who went by "George". The cemetery location for both "Ray" and "Vi" are the same.
George Washington and his wife Jennie {Eldridge} are buried in the same cemetery in a different location.

I would be glad to photo and obtain records from Oakdale Cemetery, Davenport, IA. I will certainly exchange family info with "inlaws" or "outlaws"...
I was there last spring and saw some broken hunks of stones under bushes and in the brush. I was hoping they were marker stones and not someone's family history. Four generations of my family have been buried there and the cemetery dates to the early 1800s.

Correction on the Burtons

castles19 — 18 Oct 2004 11:44:37 GMT

One thing I have learned is there are a lot of double names in this family.I want to correct information that my fathers cousin Florence Burton is the daughter of Samuel Tilden Burton and Lucy Powell.They are all from Adair Co.Kentucky.He is the son of Thomas Collier Burton and Cussie Hictoria Judd.My cousin Flossie had three sisters named Lara,Tassie, and Dollie.It appears that there were a lot of Burtons from Kentucky. Samuel died at age 34, his wife not too long after he did.Florence and her sisters were orphaned which explains how she ended up with the Burtons in Missouri.I wonder who it was that raised her and her sisters.I found no history for them.It is very strange that another Samuel Tilden Burton born the same year but in Missouri and then moves to Idaho. If anyone knows of this family please write so I can have the rest of the story.Linda

Macee Dean Moncur dies in Denver

Irene lawson — 19 Feb 2004 10:11:50 GMT

Macee Dean Moncur of Arco, died February 13, 2004 at the Denver Children’s Hospital in Denver, CO of complications from Pulmonary Hypertension.

Macee was born July 16, 2002 in Boise, ID to Dean and Robin Diers Moncur. She was always full of surprises starting with her birth which came three months early. Weighing in at only 1 lb., 8 oz., she was a fighter. She kept everyone in suspense at home as well as her times spent in hospitals, playing possum with the nurses and removing her ‘leads’ to make the monitors go off, causing everyone’s heart to skip a beat.

She enjoyed teasing with her mother by shaking her head “no” and pointing her finger at her and cursing “dit”. Her brother and sisters would tease her and fake that she was hurting them and found this to be quite comical. She was known to be a Daddy’s girl as he would always come to her rescue.

THANK YOU, MACEE FOR THE
LITTLE WHILE.
Survivors include her parents, two sisters, Emjaye McDonald of Moore, Janette Moncur of Rigby, and one brother Dalton McDonald of Moore; grandparents Robert and Sally Diers of Arco and Josephine Spraker of Arco; great-grandmothers Nedra Diers of Arco and Betty Halverson of Mackay. She was preceded in death by her grandfather, Robert Spraker, great-grandfather Robert Diers, Sr. and Red Halverson.

Funeral services will be held on Thursday, February 19, 2004 at 11:00 a.m. at the Arco L.D.S. Ward with Bishop Marvin Jardine officiating. The family will meet with friends one hour prior to the services.

Burial will be in the Hillcrest Cemetery in Arco.

SAWYER, G.A. (Lute)

Christine M. SMith — 3 May 2001 12:00:00 GMT

Am searching for information on G.A. (Galusha) Sawyer, called Lute by his family. He was in Idaho in by 1895, if not earlier, and married a Mrs. Jennie Galbraith in Lemhi Co., that year. I link him to Arco because a picture of him
standing on the front porch of a house which is labeled
"Uncle Lute's house in Arco, ID." Would like to know where and when he died, and any other info about him that is available.

Thanks,

Christine
