In Ferndale, Paul's great grandparents are buried. Paul took Marnie to show her the marker.
James Howard Willard and Georgiana Davis joined the Church in Illinois in 1913. Their daughters Naomi and Emily were little girls at that time. George Howard was born the next year.
He was enticed to Utah by one of the missionaries who taught him. He worked for a sugar beet company for awhile and then moved up to Sugar City with his work. They had Ruth in 1922, but she died in 1924 and is buried there.
The family moved to Bellingham where he was known for his incredible gardening skill. He could plunge a 6' pole into his backyard friable soil. The photo was taken at their 50th wedding anniversary.
Georgiana passed away in 1977 and James in 1979, both in Bellingham and are interred at Green Acres Memorial Park in Ferndale, Washington.
