This obituary was contributed to Family Search by Patti Call.
At West Jordan, Salt Lake County, Utah, January 2d 1875, Sr. Mary Wardle, aged 69 years ad 6 months.
Deceased was born in Leicestershire, England June June 18, 1806, joined the Church in June 1843, was baptized into the Reorganized Church, September 7th, 1863 by Elder W.P. Smith. Sr. Wardle was an affectionate mother, a faithful wife, and a friend to humanity; her faith in the work was as firm as a rock. She was kind and liberal, and doubtless her rest is glorious; a peaceful sleep in Jesus, awaiting the resurrection of the just. The remains of Sr. Wardle were conveyed to the shool-house near of place of interment. Funeral services by Elder Jason W. Briggs.
This is a place for my genealogy. At this time I am researching Isaac John Wardle History. He was a Mormon handcart pioneer.

Love Always, Buff
Clyde Eugene Buff Jr. "Buffy" passed away earlier this year. He had his periods of problems and was away from the family for extended periods of time as a result. These are a couple letters he sent to my mother over the years.

Dad, Jim Wardle, Merrill LIbrary Utah State University 1970s
These are my father and his coworkers. My father is standing in rear above 2nd from right and below on left. Chloe Olsen is in light blue. I recognize other faces but not names. One of my father's coworkers was Lorraine Nash. I don't recognize her in the picture. Lorraine's son had leukemia which would claim his life. On year he went deer hunting with us. He was close to Charlie's age.

Tid Bit about Grandpa Thomas Evan Jeremy's Tree
http://billywardlegen.blogspot.com/2014/02/they-participate-in-landmark-ceremonies.html
I found this not in my mother's things about the tree. I previously shared the above link which mentioned this tree in the newspaper.
At 6th W. and So Temple on the old Saltair Railroad, stands the famous Jeremy Cottonwood. It was planted by Thomas Jeremy in 1852. It grew and seemed to have served its purpose, and finally was neglected. Sara Jeremy Anderson of S.L. County board had spoken of the tree in tender amusing terms telling of the girls and boys who came there to play, and each of the tramps who came there to get warm. Although it was greatly damaged by repeated fires, the old Jeremy Tree reaches 115 feet into the sky, and spreads its great branches almost that far across. The tree warden of S.L. took it in his care, doctored and pruned it, an it is now being protected as an historic tree.
