Show LOUISE NEWELL EUGENE February 1892 in Teton, Idaho. Margaret Pearl helped with the heavy farm work, hoeing beets and doing other farm chores. She also assisted her parents in their mercantile store in Teton. She was a graduate of Ricks Col¬lege and later attended Henager Business College in Salt Lake. The two met at a dance in Saltaire and after their marriage lived in Ogden, moving next to Mountain Green. The young couple moved into the old two-story ranch house on Gor¬don Creek. Here they lived until it burned down in 1927. The fire was caused when Margaret Pearl attempted to clean the chimney out by burning a piece of rubber in the stove. That year (1927) a handsome two-story brick home was built on the lot next to the Alonzo Robinson home. By 1932 the couple had six children, Louise, Lynn, Stephen, Marjorie, Newell, and Eugene. Lynn remembered that sometimes their drinking water would become muddy and they would load milk cans into a wagon and drive to the Robinson store at Gateway where they would fill the cans up with good, clean water. The children remembered attending school in Peterson, riding the five miles in a little school bus. They attended Church in Mountain Green and later in Peter¬son when the two Wards were combined. Sometime around 1933 Lovell was called as a counselor in the Mountain Green- Peterson Ward Bishopric, with Alfred Bohman as Bishop. Bishop Bohman remembered that he was a dedicated Counselor and attended all his meetings. He served in this office more than four years. Margaret Pearl assisted in the Ward with her music talents and also served in various organizations. Both supported various projects in the Ward and Community. In 1940 Lovell Stephen Ostler moved from Mountain Green to Salt Lake City 301 MARJORIE, STEPHEN, LYNN OSTLER |
