Myron Monroe Whitmore Family F957, p.?

My grandfather, Myron Monroe Whitmore, and his brother, Henry Whitmore, and families came from Flint, Michigan, by freight train, bringing their belongings. They bought land across Cedar Creek from each other.

My dad, Floyd, was born in Flint, Michigan. D.C. must have been also. I don't know about Nettie.

The two little boys, Ralph and Rolland, must have been born in Nebraska.

My mother, Ida Mae Ralph, came from Wisconsin to fisit her Aunt Elizabeth Sheppherd near Elgin. She became interested in Floyd and later married him. They lived on a farm near his dad's and that is where Clifford and I were born. Later he learned the jewelers' trade from E. O. Petersen. He then went to Basin, Wyoming, and started a store. He died of an ulcerated tooth when he was only 39.

D.C. and his wife, Mary, lived on a farm near us. I can remember riding in a wagon to visit them. They later moved to California. They had no children. Nettie married John Holmes. They lived in Lincoln, Nebraska. They had two boy and two girls.

Rolland married Florene Bathea and built a house on the home farm. They had two sons, Bruce and Richard (Dick). Later they moved to California.

Clifford workd in the oil fields in Wyoming after completing high school in three years. He and I both went to Miss Watson in Elgin. I went to a Teacher's College in Wisconsin for three years and taught for 20 years in Wisconsin and South Dakota.

I married Albert Koinzan in Elgin, Nebraska, in 1942, and he brought me to his farm in New Plymouth, Idaho.

June 1, 1867, Monroe Whitmore was examined and received. [No comment made on whether or not he was baptised, but it must be assumed that he was at about this time, as baptism was necessary for all his siblings.]

During Dr. Hodget's administration he inaugurated the district camp meeting at Oakdale, which continued to be for fifteen years the scene of many great gatherings, and resulted in many great spiritual victories. As high as one hundred souls were converted at some of them. Besides the interest of successive presiding elders and the pastors of the district, this success was due in no small measure to some choice laymen, among them A. J. Leach and others of Oakdale, and J. H. Barns and Monroe Whitmore, of Cedar Creek.
