I am interrested in the photos of Kenilworth that you have posted on the above site. Thanks, Myrna Trauntvein, 228 S. 300 East, Nephi, Utah 84648

Hi,
Thank you for visiting the Carbon County UTGenWeb webpage.  Two of the photographs that you requested are attached to this e-mail and I'll send additional e-mails with the others attached.  I have an additional photograph of Kenilworth that is not on the webpage.  It is a photograph of one of the baseball teams from Kenilworth.  One of the individuals in the photograph is Dick Trauntvine. Is he related to you?  Ronald W. Jewkes from Kenilworth has written a story about growing up in Kenilworth that will appear in the next Carbon County Historical Society journal that is scheduled to be published in the next week or two.  This photograph is included with the story.  If Dick Trauntvine is related to you I would appreciate knowing so I can correct the spelling of the name in the journal.   The spelling probably should be Trauntvein instead of Trauntvine?  Thanks again for writing.  Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.  Kathy Hamaker

Yes, Dick (his nickname, his given name is really Don) Trauntvein is my husband’s brother. He lives in Logan, Utah. This is wonderful news that he is in a photo of baseball teams. How do I get on the mailing list for the Carbon County Historical Society journal?

Thanks again!

Myrna Trauntvein

Question, please answer.

Did all of you get the photo CDs I mailed to  you? 

What about the Mother’s Day gifts? If you didn’t get them, then I  need to let Deseret Book know so that we can get them to you.

Love,  Mom

Melanie wrote: Yes, I got the book. I'm planning on keeping the book. I just got the DVD yesterday in the mail. We started watching it for Family Home Evening. It is very similar to the book, which is a good thing, because I loved the series. 

I did get all the photo CDs as well. Thank you very much.

Love,
Mel

Myrna: Thank  you for the message and the pictures- I have just determined how to print some  off- these did work. Also to let you know Don and Thelma do not have access to  a computer at this time. There is on in the Palmyra Library but is limited when  they can go use it. So they won't be able to receive any e-mails.

 Hope you are receiving much benefit from  the injection/s you had this Friday past. Love to  you-Helen

From Eva

Thanks for letting  me know about the blank ones; it isn't just you, sometimes ones from my missionary comp come blank as well.  I will never learn enough about computers.  

As I said lalst night , this is Dick sitting in my rocking chair in our yard in Clean Creek; he was a chubby little rascal.  I think the folks didn't take many pictures after we moved to Kenilworth.  The only ones I had of Tim I put iin the history book I made.  I will go through my albums soon and see if I have some I took after I got a camera for Christmas when I was twelve.  If I can find some, I will ge them copied for you.  I apparecieate all you do, thanks so much.   Love you,  Eva  

Glad to help anyway I can.  God blesss!.  FORGIVE THE MISTAKES, I AM TRYING TO GET USED TO A NEW KEYBOARD; EVEN THOUGH IT IS A SIMPLE ONE, SOME OF THE KEYS ARE STILL DIFFERENT THAN  I was used to.   Can't teach an old dog new tricks. 

Re: Kenilworth pictures‏

From Helen:
Hi, dear family: 
  Your Father called me last night to see if I have access to pictures of Kenilworth to help Brigette with her project.
  There is one fellow, whose Father used to be the principal  when we were in school - he took many pictures of Kenilworth-  left a message on his message machine, however the last time I spoke with him they were planning on pulling their house trailer down toward St. George- so have not heard back from him.
  I did go to the Utah Historical Society Archives today- they have a number of pictures taken many years ago of certain areas in Kenilworth. Most related to mining. 
   There are six that may be of value to go toward the project. The xerox copies of these will be in the mail tomorrow, Saturday 14th May. You should receive them on Monday or Tuesday- Don't know how much help they will be, sorry I couldn't get hold of anyothers. Don't know why I didn't ever take pictures there in all my growing up years. Guess I thought it would always be there.
   Hope all is well for each of you- keep safe and enjoy each day.  Uncle Don and Aunt Thelma are surely enjoying their very special opportunity to be missionaries in the Palmyra temple. What a blessed opportunity-right?
  My love to all of you. Aunt Helen

Kenilworth Mine Tramway

This is a photo of the Kenilworth Mine Tramway. Henry Trauntvein, Leonard's father, spent some of his mining career as superintendent of the mine.

To Kathy Hamaker: My husband grew up in Kenilworth. His name is Tim (Leonard) Trauntvein and he is the son of Henry and Gladys Trauntvein, long-time residents of the community. We are trying to put together some photos for our grandchildren and would like to get the ones you have on the site in a larger format. Is there a charge?
