Aunt Ruth's Book, her introduction

[Page II]

Introduction by the Compiler

This book was compiled to honor the memory of a very loving and dedicated man, both to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and to his family.

George Franklin Ellsworth, Jr., before his death, wrote the story of his life. His wife, Annie Dean, wrote a brief summary of her life until her meeting and subsequent marriage. Ruth wrote about the life of Caroline Sarah Janes partly taken from Caroline’s fathers’ [sic] life story and partly from personal knowledge. Included also in this book is a brief story about each member of the family and wherever possible, a picture of them.

It has taken over two years to collect and compile this information. Since requesting and receiving many of the stories and pictures in 1980, some new little ones have arrived. We do not always have a picture of them but we have added their names.

We realize, in retrospect, that everyone might have added or deleted some parts of their family story but these were the thoughts at this time. Heartfelt thanks are extended to those who so graciously contributed to this book.

We hope you will all enjoy “Getting to Know” the family members better.

Ruth Ellsworth Blunck.
