William Henry Stevens: Store

The picture above is of the sporting goods store run by my 2nd great grandfather William Henry Stevens.  He is standing in the doorway of the store with his 4 children to his left (the youngest is my great grandfather George Earl Stevens).  The store was located on 25th Street in Ogden, Utah.

Guessing at the ages of the children from the picture, I would guess this photo was taken around 1885.

I'm not sure how prevalent photography was at this time but all the bystanders seem fascinated by the camera.

Neriah Thomas Moore (1858-1943): Gravesite

The photo above is from the gravesite of my 2nd great grandfather Neriah Thomas Moore Jr.  I got the photo from the findagrave.com website. 

Neriah is buried in the Ogden City Cemetary in Ogden, Utah.  He is burind next to his wife Annie Eliza Sheen.

Annie Eliza Sheen is buried in the Ogden City Cemetary in Ogden, Utah.  Her husband, Neriah Thomas Moore Jr. is buried right next to her.

Annie Eliza Sheen (1860-1945): Obituary

This is the obituary for my 2nd great grandmother, Annie Eliza Sheen.  She was married to Neriah Thomas Moore Jr.  I believe this came from the Ogden, Utah paper.  She passed away on June 20, 1945.

This second image came from a church newsletter following her death.

Neriah Thomas Moore (1858-1943): Obituary

Neriah Thomas Moore (Jr.) was my 2nd great grandfather.  The following is an obituary that appeared (I think) in the Ogden paper (Standard-Examiner) March 20, 1943.  He passed away on March 19, 1943.  He was 85 years old.  It's a little small so you may have to blow it up to read it.

I'm not sure what paper this second obituary came from but the date written on it is March 23rd, 1943.

These talk about various jobs he had including working as a locksmith and gunsmith, working for the railroad, and working for the Ogden, Utah fire department until he retired.

His wife's name is Annie Eliza Sheen.

Ellen Jane Neimoyer (1847-1923): Biographical Sketch

I found this information on my 2nd Great Grandmother Ellen Jane Neimoyer (and her husband William Henry Stevens) in the book Utah Since Statehood, Historical and Biographical, Volume 2 at the following link:

The sketch has information on Ellen, her husband William, their children & their spouses, and her parents (William Neimoyer and Lucinda Romig).

Here is an excerpt:

"Mrs. Stevens and her family are numbered among the most highly esteemed residents of Ogden [UT] and here  have a circle of friends almost coextensive with the circle of their acquaintance."

I think that's pretty cool.
