LIFE STORY OF IDA MARRIOTT KYLE I am Ida Virginia Marriott Kyle. I was born at Ogden, Utah in the family home at 1208 Porter Avenue on January 16, 1912 to Charles Arthur Marriott and Mary Agnes Farley Marriott. On April 14th, 1912, I was given a name and blessing by Elder John Farr of the Ogden LDS Seventh Ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Our Family Home My father had moved a two-room photographer's studio to our lot and remodeled it into a house. As needs and circumstances permitted, he expanded it to a lovely home.

Early in his adulthood, he had learned the art of barbering; and consequently, he was always favoring family, relatives and friends with free haircuts. He always did this most obligingly. Father was a good-looking man and liked to dress for special occasions like Christmas, Thanksgiving or a special party. He had firm views on political matters and consistently read and listened to the radio reports for the latest news. He favored Franklin D. Roosevelt as a president and often voiced his dissension of poor politics.
