Clarence is one of Elmer's cousins (their moms were sisters)
And this is the only known photo I can find of Clarence
It was apparently taken in New York City in 1919 as they were making their way home from their service in Europe during WWI.

Letter transcribed:

"Midway Wed 14th 1933

Dear Elmer and all-

Just a line.  Find enclosed your Insurance Receipt.  Mine and Yours came together.  Thanks a lot.  Thought I would tell you not to bother to come after me, at the end of the week.  I know you are all too busy watering and everything and even to write a line, so if Mr. Tut will call for me sometime this summer it will be all right.  I can't hardly leave either- everything will burn up (in) this hot weather.  I sprinkle every afternoon from 4 to six just had the lot turned 13th 2 to 4 a.m.  Steele turned it in for me.  Sure been hot the last few days.  Guess you will soon be cutting hay.  How are all the kiddies and everybody?  I have some beautiful flowers out now- would love to hand all the girls a beautiful bouquet of lilies, honeysuckle, and pansies, they are just grand now.  I won't get my R.F.C. 'til the end of the week if then- they cut everybody this month so I guess it won't be much I get, but I already drew it out at Bonners.  I had to get a shovel an ax handle, and other things to eat, so all I have to do is to turn (it) all in.  Some of the men have gone to the Forests to work.  Times don't seem much better yet.  Guess you saw where Geo. Remmond and Cynthia ? Schear eloped and got married.

Also where Paul Clark got a divorce from Polly.  She is all broke up about it, but said she would be a good sport and make the best of it.  Don't know the reason.  She was up Sunday.  Clynton and Verda have gone down to Bountiful for a month to pick berries.  Steele has made his place nicer than ever this Spring.  That's all he does though- work in his garden and flowers.  Had a fine trip to Salt Lake last week but was awful tired 2 days after.  Got me some glasses for my eyes and Shirley a little apron was all I bought.  

Must close for this time.  Hope to hear from you soon.  

Love to all,

As ever Mother

Shirley (XO)

The unknown lady in the middle looks familiar, but I can't place her.  If anyone can identify her, please leave a comment on this post.  Thanks.

Zelma T Jensen Miner was Vera's eldest sister.

She lived to be 92 years old, so her last few birthdays were reasons to celebrate.  The following are items relating to those momentous occasions.

The following is a personal history, written by Della, found in the personal albums of Gene Nyberg.

Scanned pages of George & Della Taylor Nyberg history.

As there are still individuals in the document that are still alive, I will not transcribe the record at this time, but I have a transcribed copy of it ready to go, so when the time comes I will post it here.

Coy and Cora never had any living children, but they were definite movers & shakers in their community of Bountiful, Utah in the mid-20th century.

The following is a local newspaper clipping of a personality profile, focused on Coy Hayward, his history, and his impact on the community.  As it's rather lengthy I won't transcribe it here, but it should still be fairly legible to those interested in reading it.

Photo of Roy, Roxa, and Cora

This is a photo of Vera's parents, Roy and Roxa Taylor, and Vera's older sister, Cora.

From the personal albums of Cheryl Murray

My intuition tells me that this photo was taken at a Taylor family reunion- meaning, Roy Taylor's enormous family of brothers and sisters and all their kids.  I say this because the clothing and setup match a similar photo that was labeled as such.  I can't recall which post it was put with, so I've reposted below for comparison:

Taylor Reunion- Roy Taylor and 2/3 brothers in group seated in middle
From the personal albums of Althea Gray

In this photo Roy can be spotted seated (2nd from right) with Roxa standing behind him.  Cora is on the very edge of the photo sitting on the grass.  Only problem here is that this photo came from a descendant of Zelma (the eldest of Vera's sisters) and they had labeled the grass-sitter as Zelma, not Cora.  My personal opinion is that this is Cora in both photos, but regardless, we know she's definitely one of Roy & Roxa's girls.
