Show Our forebears arrived in Utah with the Snyder party. William Henry Jenne must have been something of an entrepreneur. He acquired run-down or delapidated busi¬nesses and at least one ranch. With the inexpensive labor of his sons, plus good management, he built them up and sold them for a nice profit. I have no idea where the Mountain Green ranch was located. My parents, Wallace Alma and Clara Bishoff Jenne, were there before my brother, Robert, was born, 18 February 1908. They left before my brother, Alma, was born, 30 January, 1912, in Salt Lake City. I remember a large ranch house, one room of which was used as a school. I believe the teacher lived there with the family, also. The ranch must have been quite a spread because in addition to the four adult sons, there were hired hands living in the bunk house. When William Henry was 18 or 19 a horse fell on him which broke his leg above the knee. The leg was removed at the hip, and being unable to ride horseback, he drove a buggy around the ranch. Unlike many cattlemen of his time, he had no prejudice concerning sheep. He ran both cattle and sheep. When they didn't do so well he ran a herd of goats. William Henry Jenne died, 9 October 1927, and was buried in Ogden. Laura Minetta Johnston Jenne was in Modesto, California, when she died, 29 November 1930. She is also buried in Ogden. —The Jenne Family THE CHRISTIAN on his knees sees more than the philosopher on tiptoe. Do not pray for easy lives, pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks to equal your power. Pray for power to equal your tasks. —Phillips Brooks THIS GREAT AMERICAN NATION the Almighty raised up by the power of his omnipo- tant hand, that it might be possible in the latter days for the Kingdom of God to be established in the earth. His hand has been over this nation, and it is His purpose and design to en¬large it, make it glorious above all others, and to give it dominion and power over the earth, to the end that those who are kept in bodage and serfdom may be brought to the enjoyment of the fullest freedom and liberty of conscience possible for in¬telligent men to exercise In the earth. —President Joseph F. Smith 244 |
