Sadie is holding Charlotte, next to George. Mae is standing in front of George. Next to Mae is Lloyd and Bill. Is that Carolyn second from the right? Who are the man in the back and the girl on the end?

Frey Family Reunion around 1930

I sat down last week and had my Dad look at this picture. Gradually he was able to identify some of the people. Click on the picture to enlarge it.

Front row - He thinks Carolyn is the girl second to the left with her feet sticking out.
Third row - Mae is the second girl in from the left with a thin face, white shirt and light hair.
The three little boys are Richard Derryberry, Bill and Lloyd Frey.
Sadie is just above Bill and Lloyd in the dark dress.
George Peter Frey is on the left in the white shirt leaning against the rail about half way up.
Aunt Ruth, George's sister is the woman in the white blouse with the scarf kitty corner to George. (Maybe)
Max Derryberry is behind George
Uncle John Donahue and Charlotte May Frey Donahue are sitting on the top two stairs on the right.

The following suggestions came from Margret Rudd K.

"In the Frey Reunion picture, I think that Lottie is sitting on a step to the right, with John Donohue behind her. The top row up on the porch has to be Carl Frey, and probably his wife Willa. On the steps, to the far left is Max Derryberry. I can't sort out the kids, but would assume that the 3 older girls are Carl and Willa's daughters and Ruth's Dorothy. The older boys would be Bill & Dick Derryberry and Mable's son. The rest would then be Carolyn (behind) Georgiana (left front) Lloyd, Charles and Charlotte. As to the other adults, I think Grace is closest to Max, then Mabel and Ruth. I never met your grandparents (George and Sadie) so I may have scrambled them up with other adults."

"My first visit to the ranch was when I was 8 yrs. old. - summer of 1937. Your grandfather (William Frey) was very hard of hearing, so he was fitted for a hearing aid by a traveling salesman. Nothing fancy. There was a metal bandeau to go over the head with a receiver to be positioned on the bone behin d the ear. The bone conducted and magnified the sound. Anyway, he decided that I did the best job of helping him get it positioned just right, so all summer he would call for "that kid" to find and adjust his hearing aid."

Thank you so much for the information Margret!

George Peter Frey

2020-06-18T14:13:00.000-07:00

George Peter Frey was born 11 Nov 1893 in East Syracuse, Onondaga, New York. He died 9 May 1936 in Syracuse, Hamilton, Kansas. I read the following newspaper article on his death for the first time a few months ago. He must have been a dynamic person and a mover and shaker in the community. I wish I could have known him. I wonder what he would have done with the rest of his life if he had lived until a natural death. I am hoping some other family members have stories about him to share. I would like to know more. I have thought about trying to research the legislative archives in the state of Colorado and the Denver and Grand Junction newspaper for further articles on his tenure as a State Representative for Mesa County. Click on the image below to enlarge the article.

My Dad writes in his life story about his father's death:

"(When my Father died) I was a lad of 13 years, 10 days short of my 14th birthday. Right after the funeral my Grand Father Charles R. McBride took me to one side and told me, because I was the oldest son, I would be expected to take the place of my Father in the family. As a young lad I didn't understand the magnitude of such a responsibility however, I took the charge from my grandfather seriously."

"Shortly after my 14th birthday I recall a visit one day by the Sheriff Charles Lumley, sheriff of Mesa County. He came to visit Mother concerning my Father's death. I was helping Mother in the kitchen when he knocked on the door. I recall the news he had was very disturbing to Mother and shocking to me. It left a stinging memory deep into my soul. He told Mother that Dad had been murdered by unnamed persons he knew but said there was no way the police officers were able to prove it. There was only one witness of the death and that was the driver of the truck. He reported that Dad had stepped out onto the running board of the moving truck to turned on the auxiliary gas tank and slipped and fell under the wheels of the truck. This news was very disturbing to Mother. I clearly remember her saying, "You mean they took my husband from me. I'll see that every one is punished." Her statement was something to that effect. The sheriff then said, "Sadie, we know who they are but there is no way in the world we can prove it.' Words to that effect.

"I don't know if my family knows of the above story or not. I don't know if Mother talked to them about it. I know she never discussed it with me in all these years except years later I asked her if we should pursue an investigation. She said she did not want to open everything up again."

"The pain of not being able to bring justice to those who took the life of my Father and the weight of trying to fill his shoes has been a great burden to me all of these years."

I found this bio of Sheriff Lumley online:

Charles Lumley (1929-1941)

Described as a "philosopher sheriff," Charles Lumley was known and beloved throughout western Colorado as a man who took pride in keeping troubled young people outside of prison walls. Quoted in the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel, Lumley believed that "if a person can save one boy out of a dozen he has done more for humanity than he would do if he sent all 12 to jail." Also known to federal investigators for the "fine grapevine" he kept on criminal networks, Lumley was known to have saved the community from the cost and turmoil of major crimes diverted by his able management of situations and the philosophy he inspired in his officers. Lumley died in office from an attack of meningitis and his funeral in 1941 was attended by more than 1,000 residents and colleagues from around Colorado, one of the largest funerals ever known in Grand Junction.

George Peter Frey's death

2020-06-16T19:51:00.000-07:00

Linda Kaer (Mae's daughter) sent me this account of George's death.

"I just read on the blog what you had about Grandpa Frey's death. All I know is what Mom told me through the years. She always said she didn't want to influence us any when it came to politics but we needed to know what she did. She said Grandpa Frey was killed by the Democratic Party because he was fighting against the sale of Colorado water to California. They knew that his mind could not be changed and he wouldn't sell out his beliefs. So they took care of it about the same way they did with Pres. Kennedy. The other man in the truck was found later with $500 in his pocket and that was the amount of money Grandpa had left home with.
Mom also said through out his life he had the same dream over and over. It was about a huge monster chasing him and he knew when it caught him he'd die. She always said the monster was his own truck."

I don't have many pictures of my grandmother Sadie McBride Frey. I think this must be her professional photo. She looks official and dignified. Sadie was born the 23 Dec. 1879 in Tooele, Tooele, Utah. She was the 12th of 15 children, 9 of which were girls. From the information I have she met George when he came to Utah to work on the railroad. They were married in Tooele by Charles McBride who was a Stake President (I think) and also her Dad. Sadie was Mormon and the granddaughter of a well-known Mormon apostle. George was from a staunch Catholic family. I wish I knew something about their courtship. It must have had it's "interesting" moments. After marrying, they lived on a 20 acre fruit farm in Fruitvale, Colorado just east of Grand Junction. After George's death in 1936 she was left to run the farm and raise five children. She also became a probation officer and worked with juvenile offenders. In her later years she owned a dress shop in downtown Grand Junction, Mode-o-Day. I remember one of her favorite phrases was "Isn't that grand!" or "Isn't he (or she) grand." She always said it with a smile in her slightly husky voice.

These photos were probably taken around or a little before 1940. My Dad (Lloyd) told me the Chevy was a 37 and the dog's name was Queenie. He thinks he was 16 or 17. I would vote more 17. The younger boy with lighter hair is Bill Frey. The older boy with dark hair is Lloyd Frey. Charlotte Frey is the girl. The photos were taken at the family home in Fruitvale, Colorado.

CRICKETS IN THE GRAVE FLOWERS

by James. G. Goode

When an old man dies,
A library burns to the ground…”
Sometime, somewhere,
Someone repeated that African proverb to me.
I think of that and feel
The hollowness in the sound
Of these crickets hiding in the grave flowers.
Homeless,
I wander across desolate plains…
Fatherless now,
I must realize that he will not step from behind the barn;
That when I hear a strange noise and turn quickly
To see him there
I will never be quick enough;
I will no longer touch the bristles on his face.

His hands were strong and veined.
I see them now,
At once, gone…
Once again, everywhere.
They touched this cabin wood,
This Chestnut sprout,
This Hickory bark,
These rough sawed boards.

Here, they rested on my youthful head
And firmly grasped my hand as a young man.
They touched this earth,
Raking in toil across the stones.

Say goodbye,
The Hemlocks whisper…
Say goodbye,
The Oaks echo.
His eyes will never again see Pink Lady’s Slipper bloom in May.
Say goodbye,
Say goodbye…
I cannot say goodbye.
I cannot say goodbye these Autumn days
When I ache from the loss.
I cannot say goodbye

As my symbol shuffles through the Maple leaves
Washing across this gray Earth.
He laughed,
But I never saw him weep.
He walked where flowers bloomed;
Spoke native languages in Haiku…
Brief messages of complexity found in simple things.

I studied him like the university he was…
Earned several degrees under his thick eyebrows ---
Sometimes eagerly lapping the lesson,
Sometimes resistant.
But a well disciplined student who listened with him
To Pheasant wings beating a woodland drum;
To Crickets under his hearthstone;
To the angry bee buzzing out of the Catalpa bloom;
To the music made by leaf colors falling…
A student who watched small birds search the snow;
Tall ridges comb the clouds;
Roses strive in vain;
Cloud ships in the sky;
Mules thinking of oats;Dogwood blooms falling on blue pond waters…

Today the library burned
And I felt it useless to start another.
But he would have demanded it.
“Look at the volumes you already have!” He’d say.
“Rebuild, rebuild, rebuild!”

This beautiful poem was sent to me upon the death of my father, Lloyd G. Frey, by Carolyn Frey Rasmussen's daughters, Lenore Robbins, Laura Jean Frey and Dearwyn Woodbury.

Thanks to Margret Rudd K. for contributing these photos. She sent me this information in an email.

"Did you know that your (great) grandmother did not go by Sarah, but was called "Carrie" which was apparently a nickname for Catherine? She was so tiny.... My first visit to the ranch was when I was 8 yrs. old - summer of 1937. Your (great) grandfather (William Frey) was very hard of hearing, so he was fitted for a hearing aid by a traveling salesman. Nothing fancy. There was a metal bandeau to go over the head with a receiver to be positioned on the bone behind the ear. The bone conducted a magnified the sound. Anyway, he decided that I did the best job of helping him get it positioned just right, so all summer he would call for "that kid" to find and adjust his hearing aid. My Rupp family came the summer of 1940.

My Dad (Lloyd Frey) thinks this is a picture of his aunt, Ruth Adeline Frey daughter of William Frey. We wondered if the older woman was Charlotte May Frey but Margret Rudd K. sent the information below. Thank you Margret! My Dad was hesitant in identifying the older woman so Margret's input confirmed his hesitation.

If anyone has other information please let me know.

(The following information came from Margret Rudd K. an adopted granddaughter of John C. Donahue and Charlotte May Frey Donahue.)

"Sorry to say that the one may be of Ruth (Frey) Hardebeck, but not with Charlotte, nor with any of the Frey sisters. Lottie was taller, and , and looked a bit like Eleanor Roosevelt. Grace and Mabel were much smaller than the woman in that pic. The dresses and gloves look a bit like mourning clothes. Could this be Ruth's mother-in-law?"

John Tanner

2009-09-09T22:16:00.000-07:00

John Tanner was the father of Maria Louisa Tanner Lyman,

Sadie McBride's great-grandmother.

JOHN TANNER (1778-1850) was born in Hopkinton, Washington County, Rhode Island, on 15 August 1778. He was the second child and oldest son of Joshua Tanner (1757-1807) and Thankful Tefft (1757-1822). On his mother's side he was a descendent of three Mayflower pilgrims: Richard Warren (1579-1628), and father and son Francis Cooke (1583-abt.1653) and John Cooke (1612-1695). John Tanner was a 7th generation American -- on his father's side he was a descendant of noble and royal English families such as Trevilian, Courteney, Beaumont, Tremayne, Tyrrell, Sergeaux, de Raleigh, de St.Clare, de Champagne, de Spencer, de Saluzza, Beauchamp, Plantagenet, de St.Valery, de Brittany, Marshall, Welsh prince Llewelyn "Fawr", William the Conqueror, etc.

Following is an excerpt from the Tanner Family website which contains a full biography of this amazing man including the miraculous healing of his crippled leg by two Mormon missionaries. He eventually gave up all his wealth to help establish what he saw as the kingdom of God restored to the earth through Joseph Smith.

According to Nathan Tanner, John's son "At this time at Bolton, notwithstanding his large family responsibilities, he had acquired wealth and had become a man of much influence, and was extensively known and universally respected." He had built a beautiful, spacious frame home for his large family (so well-built that it is still in use today, and is used as an inn, known as Green Acres). "He had commenced poor, but by hard work and economy, accumulated around him the comforts of life. John Tanner was the kind of man who could not be kept poor -- he prospered in everything he did. He carried on farming extensively; stock-raising and dairying on different farms which he had cleared from the surrounding forest, and he engaged in lumbering in all its branches, as he owned several sawmills and planing mills, and owned some 2,200 acres of timberland; he also had many acres of cleared land with homes and barns to accommodate a number of families (his married children and their families); and he had orchards in abundance." He also owned Green Island in Lake George, which at the time may not have been valuable, but later became the resort island on which the famous Hotel Sagamore was built. John Tanner "also kept a hotel at Bolton Landing of some considerable note (often he gave food and lodging to people who were unable to pay, and that he never turned anyone away). The poor and needy always found a friend in him; he would give them employment whereby to earn what they needed, if they were able to work, but would supply their needs just the same, whether they were able to work or not ... All of the various branches of business made work for his family and all he could hire."

Nathan says, "(My father) had a delightful home on the west side of Lake George, one of the finest sheets of water in the world ... In those days women turned the wheel by hand or foot that spun our yarn and made our cloth. In this we were not behind. We were a hard-working and hard-handed family. None of our means was willed to us, but earned by hard work and economy. My father used to say he enjoyed accumulating property around him, and if it could be spent wisely, it would prove a blessing. If spent otherwise it would prove a curse."

John Tanner was also an active Baptist lay preacher who was highly respected in the area. His name was said to be synonymous with benevolence, honesty and integrity.

Reuben McBride was the first man baptized for the dead in the Nauvoo Temple. Above is a letter written 1886 to his sister, Martha McBride Knight Kimball

Fillmore, Nov 1st/86
Dear Sister Martha,

I received your kind and welcome letter some time ago, but circumstances has been such that hindered me till now. The subject you wrote uppon (sic) is one of the greatest importance. The first work that I done for our dead relitives (sic) was done in Nauvoo, I think in the fall of 42, but you know, for you was there. Bro Joseph Smith made a bee and had the font in the temple filled with water from the wells. He said he wished me to be baptised (sic) in the font before I went back to Ohio. We met. Joseph spoke and the font was dedicated and he, Joseph, said, Blessed is the first man baptised in this font. Brigham Young baptised me. I was baptised six times. Joseph took off his mantle and wrapt it around me, took me in his carrage (sic), and drove to your house. He talked all the way goeing to you house and

Write as soon as you get this. God bless you.

Good Bye Your brother

Reuben McBride

Reuben and Mary Ann are buried in Fillmore, Utah.

Standing: Louisa Ann Lyman King, Francis Marion Lyman Jr., Edna Jane Lyman
Seated: Rhoda Ann Taylor Lyman, ?, Francis Marion Lyman, ?, Rhoda Alice Lyman McBride. (Rhoda is Sadie McBride Frey's mother.)

Francis Marion Lyman
Born: 12 January 1840
Good Hope, Hancock, IL
Died: 16 November 1916
Salt Lake City, S-LK, Utah, United States

Francis Marion Lyman was the son of Amasa Lyman and father of Rhoda, Sadie McBride's mother. He was an apostle and the president of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. He was beloved by the people and a favorite speaker. He visited nearly every town that had members of the church in the West during his apostleship. Francis M. Lyman's style was one of reconciliation and the ability to say unpleasant things in an uplifting way. He was known for his sincerity and at times sharpness. But everyone who met him came away a better person, no matter what his personal message was for them. He was hardened by years of hard work starting with crossing the plains at the age of 8 and driving livestock to California at the age of 11, yet he was known for his kindness and sincerity by members of the church. Many children throughout the church were names Francis Marion in honor of this great man. (For more on FML see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_M._Lyman

Seated left Frances Webster, George Q. Cannon, Francis M. Lyman.

Utah State Penitentiary, a Federal prison was located at the present Sugar House Park in Salt Lake City. Our grand father Francis M. Lyman (in the suit) was interned there when the the Edmunds Act (1882), made bigamous cohabitation a misdemeanor and barred persons living in polygamy from jury service, public office, and voting. Over 1,300 Latter-day Saints were jailed as a result of the Edmunds Act. I'm not sure why he is not in the standard stripes.

"We mourn; we sorrow for our loved ones that go — our wives, our husbands, our children, our parents; we sorrow for them; and it is well and proper that we should moum for them and shed tears for the loss, for it is our loss; but it is their gain, for it is in the march of progress, advancement and development. It will be all right when our time comes, when we have finished our work and accomplished what the Lord required of us. If we are prepared, we need not be afraid to go, for it will be one of the most pleasant sensations that ever comes to the soul of man, whenever he departs, if he can go with a clear conscience into the presence of the Lord." - Francis Marion Lyman

If you have been to Nauvo you may have visted the Cultural Hall. On April 24, 1844 a historical play, a tragedy in five acts entitled Pizarro was presented to discharge of a debt against President Joseph Smith "contracted through the odious persecutions of Missouri and vexations law suits." A. Lyman along with other prominent names were cast members.
