My Music; We Became Acquainted With God
This is the song for our handcart musical based on the words of Frances Webster.
That spirit saw us through,
Helping us through times of doubt,
Because we traveled for Thee.
In God there is great power
You can feel it hour by hour.
God's miracles are real
We thank him when we kneel.
The angels of God helped us on our way,
Giving us health and strength
To push and pull our handcarts,
Because we traveled for Thee.
You'll not hear us complain,
With God we did acquaint.
The price we paid was small
To heed a Celestial call.
We know God is there we felt Him in our bones
With every step we took
And in our extremnities
We became acquainted with God.
We Became Acquainted With God

James Wilford Wardle Sr.: Road Camp: Pine Creek 1927
I thought these were depression era pictures, but in looking closer at the back they are dated 1927, predating the depression. The note included identifies my grandfather as to the left of the man with the rolling pin. I know grandfather took jobs as they were available, including depression era work camps. In addition to this road, he also worked on the road from Teton Basin to Jackson Hole. You can see shovels and axes, very basic tools for road building. I assume the man with the rolling pin is a cook.
The note was written by my father in 1974. It says: The writing on the backs of these photos is done by Wilford Wardle. It is impossible to identify anyone in the general view of the camp. Wilford Wardle is just to the left of the man with the rolling pin. Reed Wardle said the person standing on the right end is Marion Thompson, Vernal Wardle said it was not Marion Thompson, but could not identify any except his brother Wilford. Jim Wardle, Dec 22, 1974
The back of the general view states, "When I was working Road Camp on Pine Creek 1927. The other is more general, "Road Camp 1927 Pine Creek.

Norval Wardle, My Great Uncle
Norval was a next to youngest son of William Haston Wardle and Annie Serena Sorensen Wardle. He was born when my grandfather was 18. He was a patriarch for many years, first in Iowa and then in Logan. He actually gave my brother and I our patriarchal blessings. He wasn't in our stake, but we received special permission to go to him.

More Isaac Wardle Histories
Isaac John Wardle - History of Idaho Vol. III 1920 (page 507, Joseph S. Wardle)
Joseph S. Wardle, a ranchman who resides on the Boise bench two miles southwest of Boise...His father was Isaac John Wardle, of St. Anthony, Idaho, who passed away in October, 1917, at the age of eighty-two years. He was born in Lincolnchire, (Leicestershire) England, June 13, (14th) 1835, and came to the United States in 1852 (1856) as a convert to the Mormon church. He at once proceeded across the plains to Utah, making the trip on foot with a handcard company, being then a lad of eighteen (twenty) years. He came to the new world unaccompanied by relatives, but after he had been in Utah a few years he sent to England for his parents, who joined him in Utah, he paying their passage to the United States. Twenty-two years ago (1898) Isaac John Wardle removed from Utah to Idaho and resided at St. Anthony throughout his remaining days. He was a sheep raiser and the excellent opportunities for carrying on the industry in Idaho caused him to locate in this state. He was very active in the work of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving as superintendent of a Sunday school in Salt Lake City for eighteen years. He was married three times and by his first wife, Martha Ann Egbert, had ten children...The mother died December 9, 1916. By his second wife Isaac J. Wardle had one child, a son, William H. Wardle, now living in Teton county, Idaho. By his third marriage he had four children, of whom three are living. His family numbered fifteen children together, of whom ten yet survive (1920).
