Pritchett Family


You may want to keep this information.

I had an epiphany (an illuminating discovery, realization, or disclosure) that no one would know who these folks are in one more generation. I didn't want that to happen. So here we go.

Front Row, left to right: Renee Smith (daughter of Vivian and Ray Smith), Menetta Pritchett (Frank's wife), Betty Reynolds (daughter of Jessie Reynolds, her surname at the time of the photo. She divorced and then, later, married Gilbert Brighton, the wonderful man who baptized me.), Elaine Smith, Myrna's mother.

Second Row, left to right: Annie Pritchett Maiben (Sarah Ellen's daughter), Jean Anderson, (daughter of Afton Pritchett Anderson, Vivian's Aunt who was just about one month older), (moving to the left), Mina Ericksen Pritchett, Vivian Smith (Mina's daughter), Jessie Reynolds (Mina's daughter).

Back Row: Frank Pritchett, Sarah Ellen Thompson Pritchett Wilson, Afton Anderson (daughter of Sarah Ellen and James Wilson, her second husband), Floyd Anderson (husband of Afton) and last, Raymond Smith, husband of Vivian.

Taken at Grandma Wilson's home.

As an aside: Sarah Ellen Thompson married (2) 3 Jan 1894 James M. Wilson, a blacksmith. Her first husband, Levi Franklin Pritchett, was killed by an armed robber who robbed his safe. James Wilson was born 25 Dec 1836, Elzabethtown, Pennsylvania. He died 4 June 1911 at Mt. Pleasant, Utah. The couple had one child, F, Afton Wilson, born 6 Oct 1894 in Mt. Pleasant, Utah. She married Floyd Anderson. She was baptized on 5 Sep 1907. Her daughter, Jean Savage, joined the Catholic Church and lived in Price. Afton and Jean kept close contact with Vivian Pritchett Smith.

I love this, mom! you need to add comments to the picture CDs you have. That would add any extra work to your already hectic life. *wink, wink* I feel as if I were a fly on the wall watching a moment in time frozen when all were happy and joyful... very cool picture.
