While we were living in Ogden Canyon, rather than having our church membership records transferred to Huntsville, a number of my husband's choice friends suggested that we attend a ward which was located at 2720 Jefferson Avenue. This was the Ogden 18th Ward. These were friends of Vern's from early high school grades. They were Lee Newman and Rulon Rasmussen, who had Vern attending Priesthood meeting with them. Vern became very active in the functions of the ward. Vern was a counselor in the Elders' Quorum and soon afterward was called to be the president of the Elders' Quorum. I had been teaching in the Sunday School, Church History, in the Ogden 7th Ward for 10 years. At my request, I asked to be released and have my membership records transferred to the 18th Ward where I could attend all meetings with my husband. I was called to teach Church History there for seven years until 1942 when Vern enlisted in the Navy during World Ward II. While living in the 18th ward, some of our friends were Vera and Leslie Christensen, Grant and Bea Lofgreen, Rulon and Velma Rasmussen, Lee and Stenca Newman, Rudger and Edna Dent, and Mr. Maynard. 311 Ogden Canyon This house was built by Milton M. Marriott, my brother, on a lot owned by our brother, Orion C. Marriott. Orion and his fiancee, Charlotte Griffin, had planned on living year-around in the home when they married. The house was likely started in 1929 or 1930 and finished in 1933. It contained a full-size basement. Milton was architect of this house as well as other homes. He was a very skilled carpenter, cabinetmaker, and talented in all phases of construction work. The freestanding garage was built at the same time he worked on the home. He built all the retaining walls on the east and north sides and around the property. We always felt the retaining wall at the back of the home was a masterpiece that has weathered well over the years. After work and on Saturdays, Orion would assist Milton in the construction work on the house. At this time, the house did not have central heating. Orion and Charlotte both worked in the auditor's division of the Southern Pacific Railroad located in the Union Station in Ogden at Wall Avenue and 25th Street. The entire division was transferred to company headquarters in San Francisco. Knowing that my fiance and I would need a place to live after we were married, Orion and Charlotte asked if we would like to live in their new home. We were delighted! Two of Orion and Charlotte's good friends, who also were transferred from Ogden to San Francisco, were Earl and Alice Moore. Orion and Earl had an apartment as did Charlotte and
