Funeral Program: Uncle Bill Green

Uncle Bill and Aunt Verna met in the military.  Verna is my father's youngest sister, and Bill is her husband.  Because Bill was the only member of the church in his family, I have done some of his genealogy.  I discovered that his roots go back through the Georgia area.  In his line there were members who fought and died for the Confederacy during the Civil War.
As for Uncle Bill, they often lived some distance away, then there was a time they lived in Salt Lake City and Uncle Bill was a truck driver.  Growing up they always had Danny, who was older than I, about Connie's age.  Danny had red hair. 


Of particular note is the poem Aunt Verna wrote for the funeral program.  Many of my cousins served ask casket bearers, Dale and Roger Chase, Marvin Beesley, David Olsen.  Also son Danny.  James Olsen, Lula's husband, James, another uncle, gave the dedicatory prayer and Roger Chase the family prayer.

Family Search and Isaac Wardle Mission

FamilySearch.org has a current web page which provides information with regards to an individual's relatives who served on missions during the early days of the church.  It includes the mission of Isaac Wardle to Britain.  It includes some information that I did not know.  For example, he was set apart by C.C. Rich.  Isaac was a Seventy when he served his mission.  He was a member of the 9th quorum of Seventies.  He served form January 1879 to September 1879.  My history of Isaac's mission, based on the many letters he sent home, is at this link.  Isaac's mission to England.

Ronald William Wardle
Ronald William Wardle of Logan and Ames, Iowa, died at age 69 on Sept. 18, 2006, after a difficult illness.  
Ronald is remembered by his family and many friends for his gentle spirit and ability to accept misfortune without bitterness.  He was a student of scripture, of philosophy, and of mathematics and physics, specifically improved yacht hull design hydrodynamic models.  Another of his unique interests was Middle English literature which he read in the gothic script.  
Dearest among the many friends he cherished and who cherished him were his classmates in the Ames High class of 1955 who provided particular love and encouragement throughout his life.  Nieces, nephews and children in his Sunday school classes were captivated by his dramatic poem recitations.  
Ronald was even more loyal to Ames than his parents and brothers and sister, and lived there 38 years before moving to Logan for the peace of mind of his mother and father.  In Logan he was a great assistance to his parents in their advancing years.  He served in the Logan LDS Temple for many years.
Ron was preceded in death by his sister, Carol; and father Norval Junius Wardle.  He is survived by his mother, Delsa Taysom Wardle of Logan; a sister, Ilene Lyons of Sunrise, Fla.; and brothers, Leon of Wayland, Mass., Terry of Pleasant Grove, Utah, Michael of Las Vegas and Robert of Logan.  the family wishes to extend special thanks to all who helped Ron at Legacy House of Logan and with Access Hospice.
The funeral will be help at 11 a.m. on Friday Sept. 22, at the Logan Fifth Ward chapel.  He will be interred on Friday beside his father and sister Carol in Rockland, Idaho.  In lieu of flowers, friends and family who would prefer may send a donation to the Norval Junius Wardle Scholarship in care of Iowa State University Foundation (Attn. Monica Porter), 2505 Elwood Drive, Ames, Iowa 50010.  
Condolences and memories may be sent to the family at www.allenmortuaries.net.  Arrangement by Allen-Hall Mortuary.

Mom's Correspondence

My mother, Ileen Wright Wardle, maintained a mail relationship, and sometimes phone as well, with numerous people.  She was especially showered with card when she broke her neck and was recovering.  She was working in the temple, and all shifts sent her cards signed by over thirty persons each.  In addition there was Steve and Mardeane, friends form Illinois, her ward relief society, people from the courts where she worked, and many others.  She also kept up regular correspondence with Dad's sisters, Audrey and Phyllis, and Audrey's children, Carolyn, Ann and Kenneth.  She even saved a card from Uncle Sarah and Uncle Newell (who are actually friends, not aunt and uncle.) 
In addition to get-well cards, she also received many birthday and Christmas cards over the years. 
Of course there are numerous cards and correspondence she saved from grandchildren and sons and daughters.  My mother has quite a progeny.
