Donnette Smith and Myrna Work to Share Photos With BYU

Dear Myrna,

I hate to have you send anymore pictures today or this address will be shut down, too. But I think having the ?? in the name of Claude's picture has stopped the picture from being opened here. Could you send it without the question marks.

Later:


I had had that picture you called Claude and ?? - but I had thought it was Ray. I put it as Ray in the Smith FamilyHistoryCD - but I'm glad you knew who it was. Did it say on it? (Note from Myrna--yes, on the back.)

You sent a picture of a CCC Camp. How did that figure in the story?
Thanks for all your help.
That picture of the group with the flag must have been taken when they signed up because the clothes of Claude and Ray are identical.

In the picture - Smiths in cavalry - the men in two rows in front of a tent. Is Ray 4th from right in front?

Kenilworth Photos

To: Kathy Hamaker, Helen Trauntvein, Eva Dixon. 

Dear Kathy,

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 for a project for one, in particular) and would like to get the ones you have on the  site in a  larger format. Is there a charge?

Myrna: When I  spoke with Tim Friday evening about what pictures of Kenilworth I located in  the Utah Historical LIbrary. I indicated there are a total of 26. I did make a  copy of 6 of the ones that might be helpful for Brigittas' project and sent to her. I told Tim for my Christmas gift to himself, Don and Eva this year- I am  going to make up a binder with a copy of all 26 in it for them. They are  black and white pictures- the earliest one was dated 1901 0r 1906, I don't  recall, the last one was dated 1945. 

Love  Helen

About Family CDs

Myrna, I'm sorry, I think my age is catching up and affecting my memory.  I've been meaning to write and thank you for the first CD that you sent, then you sent the second batch of CDs, and I've still not sent a thank you.  That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!.  Actually, it's a very poor excuse.  You've very obviously spent a lot of time gathering and sending me these CDs, and I can't possibly tell you how much I appreciate it.  Every time I start looking at them, the memories and feelings come rushing back, both good and bad.  But it is nice to go back for awhile when things seemed easier and better. (even though they probably weren't).
Again, thank you very much for giving me this gift!
I love and miss you -

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

One more thing.  I did a search for Trauntvein on this webpage http://www.lib.utah.edu/digital/unews/ and found a couple interesting items.  If you haven't searched on it yet - try it out.

Have a good evening.

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.
