the area. Through her music, she met her husband, Forrest Alvin Kyle, a son of James Alvin and Lena May Austin Kyle of Pasadena, California. Forrest was a radio announcer for KLO Radio in Ogden. Ida and Forrest married on August 17, 1947, at the family home on Porter Avenue. That evening a reception was held in their honor in the Seventh Ward. Their first child was a son, Bradley Forrest Kyle. He was born in Ogden on October 17, 1948. Brad was a handsome blond with curly hair, fair skin, and dark-brown eyes. When Forrest was offered a position as a radio and television announcer in Bakersfield, California, the small family moved there in 1951. Ida was readily accepted in the music circles of that city. Already a member of the Federated Musicians Union of America, she joined the Bakersfield Local Union. Soon a beautiful baby girl, Pamela Marileine Kyle, was born to them on November 3, 1952, in Bakersfield. She had blond hair, fair skin, and dark-brown eyes. Ida used her talent in giving music lessons, playing for special occasions, weddings, county clubs, civic groups, private parties, fashion shows, and receptions. She became the pianist in very popular dance bands in Bakersfield. After the death of her husband in 1961, she found it necessary to devote herself full-time to her music in order to support her family. She has faithfully given of her talents in ward and stake positions in church assignments throughout her entire life. She has directed the Singing Mothers, accompanied choirs and soloists, and has been an officer in the Relief Society. CHARLES'S LIFE'S WORK During his life, Charles found that pioneer life necessitated his learning to do many tasks where others' services were not available. He believe in being self-sufficient whenever possible. As the need arose, he tackled tasks with a determinationthus becoming a jack-of-all-trades. He perfected his skills over the years and became very resourceful and enterprising in supplying the needs of his family. Many a dollar was saved by his ingenuity. He learned to do carpentry work as well as painting, varnishing, paperhanging, and cement work as he remolded and added on to his house over the years. He raised hay on leased land (as well as his own) to supply the needs of his cows. He also grew wheat. For years, he had an agreement with widow Addie Putman to care for and harvest her fruit crop and garden produce and share the profit. This proved to be beneficial to her and to Charles. My sister Ida and I recall picking gooseberries on this property. When Charles was twenty, he learned the barbering profession. He became a very skilled, licensed barber. For a short time he barbered for others in their shops; but before long, he had his own two-chair barbershop. This was located on the north side of the block on Twenty-fifth Street just west of Washington Boulevard, in Ogden. During these years, he associated with fellow barberstwo of whom became brothers-in-law, Simeon Farley and George "W" Gibson. During his barbering years, he had many transients come to his shop who were "down on their luck"; and he befriended them. One man was ill and had no family. Charles took him home to have his new bride care for him. This she did until the man passed away
